clinton, too. ;)
But there is a difference between saying that all governors would make good presidents and that being a governor is relevant experience for the presidency.
What clinton and Carter counterexamples demonstrate to me: A lousy, corrupt governor makes a lousy, corrupt president.
Abraham Lincoln was a Congressman for a term. He was not particularly powerful or influential. In fact he damaged his reputation early by a few ‘intemperate speeches’.
He was an exceptional lawyer like FDT who is a legal intellect of the highest order (no exaggeration, read to verify):

But Mia T, you are wasting your talent on such trivial characterizations. Sink your cerebral teeth into this (please) and let me know what you think:

To me this film addresses the real issue that ties the majority of all other issues together. Amd please don’t stop watching it, follow it to the end because it starts on a niche issue and expands to reveal connections you would never thought to have existed. Please don’t shun it to spite me if I have insulted you in any way. It is not my work, but it has definitely been absorbed into my psyche now. Put it this way, Hillary Clinton is but an ugly pimple on the butt of those that wield real power.
