candidate that has no experience? While I will admit the the President is not the best dressed, or most charismatic, or well spoken, he did lead one of the largest states. And yes thompson, etc have no experience per say, but Guliani and Huckabee do. What experince do the Dems have in that regard?

Senators yes, but what large entity like a State or large city have they run? Where is their track record? Hillary was First Lady? How does that qualify her?

Hillary was a First lady, is now a twice elected senator and a respect attorney

Strange question. The leading Democratic contenders are both US Senators. The last nominee, John Kerry, was a long-time Senator. The last Democratic president, Bill Clinton, was a former governor. Where is the lack of experience?

For Sen. Clinton, see the answer above.
For Obama, he's basically running on a platform of youthful exuberance -- which might make him a good VP, not a lead candidate.
Guiliani was a mayor -- hardly in the same category as a multi-term Senator or even a state governor.

If you check history books, mayor usually lose elections, because like said above it hardly is in the same category as a senator. There only have been like 2 former mayor presidents, so odds keed adding up against the Mayor. Also he was named America's worst mayor, until Sept 11th, and he took some pictures, and then he abandoned the firefighters of NewYork. Mitt Romney is the only way to go.
