While on the flip side, his inexperience should also count towards mitigating what you discuss above.

Disagree...
As I've said on this forum a few times before...
"Experience" is NOT "Washington experience" that you speak of...I will gladly give extra consideration to someone with NO Washington experience IF they have executive experience elsewhere...
That's why I mentioned I would give a long look to someone like Jack Welch or Lee Iacocca...Actually being a LEADER outside of the Wahington circle shows experience a being a LEADER period. That helps in the determination of being the LEADER in the highest office...
Obama obviously has little experience in the Washington circle...It's his first term and he was never there beforehand...But he ALSO doesn't have any NON-Washington experience as far as being a LEADER either...He was a State legislator, not a Governor or Mayor...AND his non-political life shows no form of executive LEADERSHIP either...Even as a lawyer he was an associate and not an executive...
