A really dumb editorial

I have been reading a lot of election stories lately, and last night I found one that was exceptionally stupid: Revere Ronald Reagan? Then respect Barack Obama. The author argues that just like like Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan was inexperienced when he ran for his first big political office, the governorship of California. Wow. Talk about comparing apples and oranges! A few of the comments note that Reagan had been governor of California for eight years before he ran for president. If you think about it, you realize that everyone is inexperienced when they run for their first major office, and some are inexperienced even when they run for the second major office. It is just that the major office is not usually the presidency of the United States.
