Had McCain won and she served a four year apprenticeship in the White House, it would be a different story. But that didn't happen.
I think I understand what you’re getting at by calling Alaska “the smallest state.” But it’s weirdly inaccurate as well.
And Clinton didn’t exactly run the biggest state in the union either!
” Serving two years as Governor of one of our smallest states and then bailing is not enough experience to be President.”
My observations of every president since Eisenhower lead me to the conclusion that character, not experience, is the most important consideration.
A person of good character, even if inexperienced, will surround himself with people of good character who are experienced, and wise decisions will be made, barring human error.
A person of bad character, no matter how experienced, is going to do the wrong thing on purpose.
