Are you kidding? Swing voters don't care if some candidate has an "economic background." If they think the economy is good, they tend to vote for the incumbent. If they think it's bad, they tend to vote for the challenger. They couldn't care less about the qualifications of either one.
You are right about the people not caring about qualifications though. If they were, Obamarx bin Biden would not have won.
Ok then. The GOP should name the latest American Idol winner as it’s nominee. Qualifications (including age and status of citizenship) be damned!
Let’s face it, even if this a$$*ole bombs out, he’ll still get re-elected. They will be blaming GWB for everything from the Hindenburg to the Challenger space shuttle up through today and tomorrow. Hence my tagline.
