I like Edwards, but frankly I'm tired of experience being denigrated. Obama's a nice guy, I just don't think he's ready for prime time. Sure Cheney are Rumsfeld had experience but the reason for the Iraq War was our "decider" who had about as much experience in foreign policy as a child in a corporate boardroom! It wasn't the experienced people who got us into war so much as it was that an immature president without experience followed people who twisted their experience to justify this most terrible of foreign policies. Imagine JFK (much more experienced in foreign affairs than thought at the time) going along with the Joint Chiefs during the Cuban Missile Crisis. They had "experience" but so did JFK!
