I admit that alone is not the criteria for electing a President....but those who tout Obama as so much more experienced and qualified make a really bad point to their detrement.

Another bit of irony - The last Democratic governor to be elected president came from a state with 4 times the population of Alaska, but only one-13th the geographic size of Alaska, does not border any foreign nations (Alaska borders two), nor has any coastline (Alaska's is almost 25% of USA's entire coastline).
Considering these factors, it would seem that governing Alaska is a greater challenge than Arkansas, yet the former Governor of Arkansas who was elected president has become a Democratic icon.
