If being a governor qualifies someone, then Cristie, Walker, Rubio, Bush, Jindahl, and Huckabee are on the short list.
It means that Jerry Brown would make an excellent candidate to be president. Well, at least he could trump anyone on our side who hasn’t been a governor. You know, you have to have been a governor...
It means that Romney was imminently qualified.
If being a governor qualifies someone, then every one of these guys would trump anyone who isn’t a governor.
Your take away from this should be that anyone who says a candidate has to have been a governor is backing a governor or former governor and knows they aren’t as good as someone else who would mop the floor with them.
Very good observation. I think Jimmy Carter is the best example of the “governor experience” being bogus that I can think of.
