Let me say that I do not belong to a particular party... and definitely have no idea who I'm voting for. Shit, I don't even know if I'm going to work on Monday :jointsmile: Just kidding... I have school that night too.

I just looked this up for the hell of it. I didn't read through it all, but I think it includes pretty much all that he was involved in.
THOMAS (Library of Congress)
- just do a Senator search for his name
I could be way off base as to what people are looking for as far as his experience, political impact, etc. I don't know what we expect out of these candidates. We make it seem like they need to cure cancer before they can be President. I understand they should be doing something while in Government... but daaamn. I know how hard it is to work collectively with other adults to make a decision on ONE thing.

Personally, I feel it is a lot more difficult to work with a bunch of people to make things better for EVERYONE... than it is to be a single head of a decision making body. Everyone has to go through the motions and red tape to get something done in a group... with a CEO type position, "BAM" stamped and approved. Groups have multiple individuals who are all fighting for the interest of their residents. That is the reason we need to have multiple branches of Government. With a sole position of power, the risk of abuse is increased greatly.

So, for the sake of arguing... lol... Explain how being the sole head of a decision making body is more difficult (more valid experience) than a person working in a large group with much more opposition and much greater competition for available resources?
