Sidebar. Rush was talking about this earlier: Christie seems to get a pass from most people beside VL about his weight. Do you think a woman politician would get the same pass?
Personally I think it would depend on her style. If she has charisma and laughs about it like Christie, I think it could work for her, or sell herself as a grandmother type.
But normally I do think women politicians are held to higher standards than men, especially in the looks department. And women are more likely to attack them than males.

How could a CEO of a company with hundreds of millions of dollars in annual sales not have political experience when the Statist has been arguing that these are the very people who are currently running the country?

I can't speak for so-called "statists," since you seem to be the only one on here using that term. I assume you are using the term to describe liberals.
It has been said that Godfather’s dropped from fifth largest sales among Pizza chains to 11th during the time he was associated with the company.
2 men have been elected to the Presidency of the US without being elected to a political office in the last century, Dwight Eisenhower and Herbert Hoover.
...so at least one worked out...

Oh no Wayne, there is a difference between the Statist and your run of the mill liberal. Jefferson was a liberal, Hamilton was a Statist. JFK was a liberal, LBJ was a Statist. Wilson, FDR, Obama - all Statists. I know it is getting a bit difficult with all of the Statists running around equating themselves with liberals to tell the difference these days, but there is still a difference between a liberal and a Statist. Most Statists prefer the self chosen term of "progressive" and eschew liberal.

He's learned a new word from his Sovereign Citizen kool-aid sites. The phrase-of-the-month is "Statist"... (Use the word in a sentence and the duck will come down and give you $100...)
You think if you generate hundreds of lines of regurgitated 18th century, Sovereign Citizen buzz-phrases, bullsh*t and claptrap from your silly websites it gives you some sort of creedence... I'm still not interested in your Constitution Party, LawAndLiberty, ReasonOfFreedom, PoliticsOfLiberty, TeaPartyPatriot excursions into what you THINK the Constitution says, or should have said, and your Sovereign Citizens definitions.
You just use longer sentences and the same silly phrases over and over and think that's supposed to make you sound like something other than a pontificating a**. I know it is getting a bit difficult with all of the phrases and terms you're supposed to remember to throw out there. I've added it to my "PrintSmith check-list lexicon of terms" That way we can keep an accurate count.
Personally, I'll use "liberal" or "progressive" interchangeably for myself, since it doesn't change what I believe in.
I love how the conservative crowd fawns over one, then another, then another candidate.
As Palin said, the latest "flavor of the week" for Republicans is Cain.
I'm looking forward to the next Republican debates where the other candidates start questioning his ideas, just like they did Perry.
I'm still interested in that Politico report I linked to that Palin may finally get into the race, now that Christie has bowed out this time around.
If Palin does jump in by the end of the month, watch for the conservatives to stampede over to her side, leaving Cain, Perry, and Romney in the dust. They are a fickle bunch.
