Do you really mean someone w/absolutely no experience whatsoever, we're talking jo schmo that just got out of high school, no campaigning, no political anything? No, I would never vote for someone like that. You have to have at least some experience going into a presidential election, I mean come on! That would be to me, absurd. That would be like...I don't know, electing a porn star or just some person who decided on a whim "hey, I think I'll run for president, DERRR!" No way, no how would I ever vote for someone like that.

Would you hire someone as a CEO for your company or head of pediatrics that had no idea what they were doing, just decided to get into it like a month before w/absolutely no sort of background whatsoever? I don't think you would.

I think I would like some one who has actually seen the inside of building where laws are made first hand, instead of late nights flipping around CSPAN before the nyquil kicks in. There are already enough nuts running for president, so they would have to be differentiated from all the other people I have never heard of before.

In all reality, the political opponents would probably wipe the floor with him in a debate. He would have little to no foreign policy experience, and that would be his downfall.

In the 04 election, I remember hearing about a woman running for President. She raised all of the money herself, she was a school board member somewhere, and was a very likable lady.

Never saw her at a debate, or any commercials, or barely a mention then did you?

The system is fixed. A viable third party would have to have considerable private funding to actually make a go of it.
