Make no mistake: He's running

    He's running!

    I love all the talk about "experience" (or lack thereof) from the skeptics. Does that really matter when voters go to the polls? What experience did the current idiot in the White House have in 1999? Being Governor of Texas is more of a ceremonial position; although he had 6 years under his belt before moving to Pennsylvania Avenue we see that it's intellect that counts, not experience.
