Of all the original Democratic candidates for the presidency, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had the least amount of experience. Obama has the least experience of any, hands down, yet he’s the frontrunner for the nomination… because of his “charisma.” The Democratic Party’s superficiality isn’t limited to presidential candidates though. In the race to fill the retiring Republican Tom Reynolds’ congressional seat, local Democratic leaders have endorsed a young political novice, apparently because of his charisma and the fact he is an Iraq war veteran.
