And Rudy on Sen. Obama.
I commented a while ago that this election was interesting because it was the first since John Kennedy was elected that the winner would come out of the Senate.The whole 'admin' experience is a red-herring. Or at best, not a reasonable predictor of future success. Clinton had been a governor for ever and by all accounts ran a very loose ship. W was all about process and we saw how that worked out.I am, of course, happy to buy into the argument that Obama has run a very successful organization for the past 19 months, with a budget larger than Alaska's. (and unlike the socialist* state of Alaska, his funding came voluntarily).* Like Saudia Arabia, most of Alaska's income comes from the Oil Industry. Alaska actually pays people to live there! Isn't that socialism? When you get money & services just for being there?
Mr. noun-verb-911 on John McCain, when McCain was Rudy's opponent in the primaries:
...has never run a city, never run a state, never run a government. He has never been responsible as a mayor for the safety and security of millions of people...
And Rudy on Sen. Obama.
..he's never run a city, never run a state, never run a business. He's never had to lead people in crisis.
