I've thought about my "ridiculous statement", and I'm not changing it. Sorry, I'd like to see Palin with more experience on the national level. The assertion that because no senator has ever become a great president means that no senator can ever be a great president doesn't stand up logically. She'd be the first senator who became a great president. Obviously, as with JFK and Obama, senators can get elected. And since I'm sure you voted for McCain, he would have been a senator who became a president.

But you Palin worshippers are missing the point. Millions of voters see Palin as a person with little experience and largely untested. As a senator, (she can't go back to being governor) she would get that experience.

Oh, and I had forgottten that Nixon was a senator too. That’s three senators in the last fifty years elected president. What say you now?

We don’t need anyone that has any of the kind of negative experience one would get in congress.

The deal making, compromising nature of congress is our biggest problem, and many of the worst presidents of my lifetime were senators: LBJ, Nixon, and Obama. All three of those presidents advanced socialism as their main goal throughout their terms in office.

We need mostly business experience; specifically small business experience where bad decisions are paid for by the decision maker, not by patrons or stock holders. Its called responsibility.

You have a strange idea of what is logical; everything about legislating is autocratic in nature. Just look at how both parties support exempting congress from its own product. Who else can set their own salary without consequence? These are the people that we need to keep away from the White House.
