I don't think that extensive political office experience is vital but I think lacking it is a hurdle to be overcome, at least a small one. He's going to have to rely more on political machine makers, party officials, and career bureaucrats to get himself there. More so than someone who has been intricately involved in it for decades.

Chicken Hawk-In-Chief George W. seems to be doing the opposite - the longer he stays in office, the less he seems capable of doing.

Not sure how I would have felt about Reagan- was not old enough to vote for him.

Yeah, Giuliani does have a lot of baggage.....it would be very difficult for him to win the nomination. Although I would love to see him go up against Hillary just to see if Hillary could one up Gore by losing in two home States

I hate it when I correct someone and then end up misspelling the correction.

I think I am going to quit while I still have some dignity left.

I do have some left don't I?

And I believe that technically Karachi has passed Mumbai, being the first to reach 13 million (though they do it with a huge footprint where Mumbai is really compact).

Ah, Scoop Jackson and Warren Magnuson - those were the days for this state. Rumor is we're approaching that level of influence again.

As a current Snohomish County resident, maybe I should reconsider my aversion to starting out in the prosecutor's office....
