Exactly..in fact none of the Dem candidates (other than Gov Richardson) has run a business or state..no valuable practical experience whatsoever. They're life-long professional politicians...the absolute worst kind.

Giuliani wins over NH voter By HOLLY RAMER, Associated Press Writer Dec 23, 2007 HAMPTON, N.H. - Betty Coughlin said she was torn between Rudy Giuliani and John McCain. Then the former New York mayor came to town Sunday and made his pitch to her and dozens crowded into a tavern. "Your ability to administrate has been proven above and beyond, but somebody like say, John McCain — and I'm sorry to throw him at you — he's been an insider in Washington and he knows the ropes and all that," Coughlin told Giuliani. "If you become president, how do you deal with all that?" Giuliani's reply? "John would be a really good adviser," he said with a grin before turning serious and describing McCain as a hero for whom he holds great respect. He told Coughlin he knows his way around Washington well enough but still could offer a "fresh spirit." "I've worked with Washington a lot both as a United States attorney, as mayor, in business and in law practice. I've argued a case before the Supreme Court. I know my way around Capitol Hill," Giuliani said. "I'm not an insider, but I almost think that might be an asset." That apparently was enough for Coughlin, who later said she'd made up her mind to vote for Giuliani in the Jan. 8 primary. "I know who I'm voting for, and it isn't McCain," she said. She said she liked the idea of McCain playing a role in Giuliani's administration. "How could he lose?" she said. But the reverse may be more likely, according to a poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center for the Boston Globe. It shows Mitt Romney and McCain about even at the top, at 28 percent and 25 percent respectively, followed by Giuliani in third place at 14 percent.<
