Is that good or bad - when choosing a candidate with no experience.

Generally voters are looking for someone they like and trust and who they think gets their concerns. Time and again polls show that the majority of the voters like the winning candidate even if they majority of the voters do not agree with many of the major policy proposals of that candidate.
This "like the candidate" factor matters much much more than experience with voters. I think where experience matters is with the media as to which candidates get the attention necessary to be a viable candidate and with major contributors who prefer some level of experience. Neither, however, requires much experience, especially at the national level.

Obviously it does, or Hillary wouldn't have "wasted her time" carpet bagging it to New York to get a Senate seat instead of her and hubby returning to Arkansas. Politics is like any other profession, experience counts. Everyone wants the Doctor thats been in practice for 30 years instead of the 27 year old kid that just got our of residency, why, chances are he's seen this problem before,

I think a person should have some experience in government or in serving the people in some facet. They most definitely should have some morals and intelligence, which seems to be lacking these days. I want someone who is going to be there for the "average Joe", but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

It does to me. The job of the President of the United States is the most powerful job in the world, why would you put someone in that post with no experience? Would you take a guy off the assembly line and put him in charge of General Motors? I think not.

I hear that said about O'bama but it is rubbish unless you don't want to Count 25 years worth........far more than bush had .
In some ways I think there ought to be more experience then I think about how very few of our presidents had any experience in running a national government.

No.
People to continue to vote regardless of how much experience they have as voters. Huge numbers of people even vote for the first time every election.

No it doesn't. Bush only had 6 years as governor before being elected.
