Yes, like it or not anyone can grow-up and try a run for President.
The experience issue, while desirable, I agree with Olivant, where exactly do you look for it? Exactly, in what area would a future Prsident need experience? And, how many years???
Perhaps many people who are voting for Obama, are considering the fact that for the last 8 years we had a President who was Governor for (4 or 8, I'm not sure). He, was seen to many, as likeabe and folksy. This moron fucked us up like no other President in my lifetime (perhaps ever). So maybe, just maybe, America is encouraged by an smart, strategic, organized, non-warmongering type, who is willing to even talk to our enemies (gasp)before going Rambo on another nation. Yea, perhaps his inspiration isn't a bad thing. Perhaps it is time for a change. God knows we've had enough shit happen the last 8 years, change sounds pretty good to me.
