re: #60 BrainSurfer

I think we would both agree that a majority of people voted with that perception in mind during the last presidential election. Depends greatly on a person’s competence and the circumstances, rather than any “rule of thumb”, wouldn’t you agree? With all due respect.

No, actually, my rule of thumb is the best person for the job means the smartest and most experienced. Senator tops mayor in my book and his schooling was miles above Palin - no comparison.
