Which president did have executive experience before entering office?

Nixon? Carter? Reagan?

Or we could have elected Mitt with no governing experience at all. The voters perceived him as someone who would not be able to relate to the common man at all, me included.

I think that Larry just might be onto something for once. Rick Perry has that valuable executive experience...

No governing experience? As with the others in your list mitt had been the governor of a state, perfect executive experience in preparation for the presidency.

Yea ... We already tried that once and the results were a bit disappointing. Lets not go down that road yet again.

Aside from that, I do look forward to Perry running again at least for a few weeks till he does not win any primaries and drops out. .... again.

Actually, a terrible example as Mr. Romney had executive experience galore, which also underscores the overblown value of such experience in the Oval. There is no formula for a presidential resume that is a sure winner for every aspect of the job.

If it's any consolation, so is Massachusetts...

Uh.... I think you would be amazed to find who it is that writes Obama's comedy material. There is a reason is it so good.

But the writing is only a part of it and a small part as well. If Obama did not have the timing to pull it off all his jokes would fall flat.

Try to think of any good jokes Bush told. He had comedy writers as well, but his delivery was always off.

Why do you think Republicans attacked Obama for reading off of a teleprompter when he gave speeches? After all, everyone does it including every Republican going all the way back to Nixon. It was because Obama can hold a crowd and this terrifies Republicans so they had to do something to make people QUICK! LOOK OVER THERE!

Note that based on the results of the last election this effort was in vain.

Nobody believed either McCain or Romney would do anything for regular people. The R's need someone to appeal and govern from the center if they want to win the presidency.

The radical right can prevail in US congressional races all day every day but have a tougher row to hoe in statewide senate races with the pervasive influence of the tea party and big money guys like the Koch brothers.

If there are no big citys in a state they can do well state wide too.

But lots of folks live in cities and that is not likely to change anytime soon.

Notable this month was the statement by Rep. M. Bachman, that the country may not be ready for a female President. This is interesting 1) coming from a female candidate 2) and perhaps a signal that Tea Party fund raising strategy either excludes endorsing a female candidate to run against the presumptive opponent, instead favoring a male candidate.

Back to finding an answer to the original question....

It seems that the answer lies in this thing called 'A fact'. Some here may need to look up the meaning of that word since it is at the crux of the questions.
