Being the press secretary for 2 years doesn't count.

and one that's all too common on DU.

At this point it's more important to look for good people in your home district to run for Congress, because without a good Congress, the best president in the world won't help you.

Besides, while Moyers did serve as LBJ's press secretary, that should give you an idea how old he is.

Both are incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable. Yet they have the look and pleasant, trustworthy demeanor of parents in a 50's sitcom. WARREN/MOYERS would be better.

Precedents for experience has been set by Palin....so....he is more than qualified....but a little too old.

Quote off of wikipedia.

The man has more knowledge and written and produced more books and documentaries on our democracy any other 20 century persona...

Oh and by the way he was the press secretary for kennedy for the peace corp first.

But as it was....it was a tongue and cheek wish not something to be taken quite so seriously.

Lighten up ronnie and nancy...
