>>Barack is very smart. There is no argument there. He is also a quick study, but she is 14 years older. She has been thoroughly tested under immense pressure. To say that experience does not matter is really nonsense.

How can intelligent people think that?<<

Mary -

I would never say that experience doesn't matter. I just don't buy the idea that the fact that one person is 14 years older than the other means that the older person is ipso facto a better candidate for a specific job.

Experience matters, but it's not the only thing that matters.
