1. If he does he'd be next to impossible to stop down the road.
Executive experience is pretty much all that's lacking in the Obama political package.

2. I agree...
He just isn't ready yet and he hasn't been tested in the politcal arena...

I could have beat Alan Keyes...

3. Illinois Governship has no term limits at all so if he ran and won he....

6. And, he'd become an "outside the Beltway" candidate, too.
This is a good idea.

5. So should Hillary run for Governor if she doesn't get the nomination?
She doesn't have any executive experience, unless you count being married to an executive.

She could find a state which doesn't have term limits, get some experience under her belt, and run for president later when she is ready...LOL

Come on, folks...quit the condescending crap. Obama is running for president and so is hillary. It is daffy goofy and downright wierd to discuss them running for governor. Unless of course you have an agenda.

Biden has so much more experience than either of them. Heck, he was Senator before Hillary's husband got out of college!

7. Excellent Idea!
I am voting for Hillary but I like Obama and hate his lack of experience. He has less than a term in the senate and all I can think of is how little experience Dumb Ass Bush had in 2000. I do not want another president learning on the job. After a term as governor, Obama will be ready for prime time.
