Why can't the Democratic Party get the experience/change balance right?
Edited on Mon Aug-25-08 09:47 AM by Boojatta
You cannot expect change if the Vice President has experience. Obama was supposed to choose a running mate who didn't have experience in Washington and if Obama had been paying attention to McCain's advice, then Biden never would have been chosen. Obama was supposed to choose a running mate who didn't have experience.

Now, when you apply for an ordinary job, what do employers demand? Experience! Washington is not fantasy land. In the real world, every job requires experience. We need real change by means of candidates who have no experience, but who also have lots of experience. Is that asking for too much?

1. What's the opposite of experience? of change?
Answers: Opposite of experience = inexperience
Opposite of change = stability or stagnation
Only when Republican spinners are at their best could they lead you to believe something like
opposite of change = experience

5. Because the owners of the MSM (Republicans) won't let that happen.
He who controls the media, controls the country. Until a level playing field exists in all branches of the media, we will always have to over come this.
