#1 Ask your favorite donk if they voted for Kerry-Edwards in 2004. Ask them if they questioned whether a "less than 1 term" Senator with no prior political experience was qualified for VP. If they are old enough ask them if they voted for Carter in 1976. Ask they how a 1 term governor from Georgia and 4 years in the state senate representing Plains, Georgia was qualified for POTUS.

#2 I've thought about the US prefers governors angle for a while now. Maybe we were wrong, or maybe things have changed with the hyperpartisanship going on these days.

Senators are forced to compromise in the Senate to get anything done. Maybe that's what we need, a President who came from the Senate and can deal with them rather than one seen as an outsider.
