For Hire:

Excellent piece from the Votemaster today, March 10.


How good Are experienced presidents, anyway? Suppose you had to choose between two Presidential candidates, one of whom had spent 20 years in Congress plus had considerable other relevant experience and the other of whom had about half a dozen years in the Illinois state legislature and 2 years in Congress. Which one do you think would make a better President?


David Levine and the Votemaster perform an interesting analysis of experience versus excellence in our presidents. Guess what? It's really a great big crap-shoot.

Take a look at this fun analysis.

P.S. In the above example Votemaster was not talking about Hillary and Barack. Read the article to see exactly who he was referring to.
