"Experience ain't everything"

According to the Connecticut Post, in their Obama endorsment. According to polls, Clinton and Obama are tied in the state I went to high school in - 40/40 - so get out there and vote Obama!

...Years of service is important, but nothing can substitute for good judgment and an ability to lead....In 2002, when war fever gripped the nation and Democrats lined up behind President Bush and his war of choice in Iraq, Obama spoke against it. It's true, he was not in the U.S. Senate, and therefore was not under the pressure his counterpart faced. But there is no excusing Sen. Clinton for supporting a war for what was, to all appearances, political expediency. Obama's desire for higher office was apparent even then, but he did not fall into that trap.
