He was a senator in Illinois for 7 years.
Where his favorite vote was "present". So experience as a state senator, no experience taking a stand on issues.
He was a US senator for 810 days before starting an "exploratory committee".
You both are wrong. He was sworn in to the US senate on 1/4/2005 and he started his exploratory committee on 1/17/2007.
That is 740 days by my count. Still two years of experience? hmmm... I'll take two years of executive experience over two years of legaslative experience for a CEO position.
