What is executive experience?

By sage of monticello | September 11, 2008

Does running a campaign count? Or do you actually have to be an executive?

As you make up your mind know this: Barack Obama makes the rules in this election - he decides what is in-bounds and out - so if you decide, as a voter, that running a campaign doesn’t count as executive experience, he can and probably will rule you out of bounds because this is a new kind of politics where experience sits on the bench.

Well, you know, my understanding is that, uh, Governor Palin’s town of Wasilly [sic] has, uh, 50 employees, uh, uh, we’ve got 2500, uh, in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. Uh, uh, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. Uh, so I think that, uh, our ability to manage large systems, uh, and to, uh, execute, uh, I think has been made clear over the last couple of years.

Also, anyone else find his “uh-ing” really annoying to read and listen to?
