Leadership is crucial and being a tremendously successful mayor of NYC is more difficult than being governors of most states.
Vice President Cheney has no military experience and who would oppose him as a candidate? Gore had military experience as does Murtha and who in their right mind cares?
All I have said all along is that the conventional objections do not carry much weight for Guiliani because he is unique. My preferred candidates: Cheney, Rumsfeld don't have a chance and my earlier favorite Senator Allen has a bad case of foot in mouth disease.
There will be no "suprise" nominee. McCain and Guiliani are the clear front runners and, without death, serious illness or withdrawal, will be the ones to beat.
Bs. Aside from the fact that there is no where near the sheer geographical area involved and he has no experience whatsoever in assessing or addressing the interests of rural and small town citizens. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. Small towns, bedroom communities and rural dwellers have needs and concerns that state governors need to address - and the Rudester doesn't even have a clue.

Cheney served as the Secretary of Defense from March 1989 to January 1993 under President George H. W. Bush. He directed the United States invasion of Panama, and Operation Desert Storm in the Middle East. Not my Idea of no military experience prior to his presidential run.

It should be a requirement, not Sole criteria.

Reagan came out of nowhere. So did Carter and Slick Willy.
Like I said in a previous post. FDR had NO military experience - and he lead us thru one of the biggest wars and also won a third term. Military experience is not necessary to run a country.
