Are you being obtuse on purpose, or do you really not get it. Clint's comment, which is the context we are discussing this here, is that we don't need people who have only been lawyers in office. We need business people. Mitt did not practice as an attorney. He "practiced" as a business guy for many decades. So he holds a law degree? So what. If you hold a PGA Tour Card but you run a business instead of playing golf, you are not a golfer, you are a business man?
Do you get it yet?
