    err

    "To me, the best analogy is really '92 with Bill Clinton, who, in many ways, was a more flawed candidate than Barack Obama. Certainly, on personal issues. And if you remember that year's Republican convention, the campaign was really an attack on Clinton's inexperience, and how he didn't have proper family values and what have you, and that approach didn't work because people were very worried about the direction of the country"

    Nope. Bill Clinton was a three term governor, former state attourney general and Chairman of the National Governor's Association. Surely that any accusation of inexperience would not sound as convincing. On the other record Obama has no administrative experience.
