One wonders, at the apparent hubris that seems to affect Senators, that somehow, a career of following, lends itself to being a leader. Especially, it seems, those whom have known little, if any, of life outside of politics.

We have Senator Obama who's only stint as a leader of anything, ended with a final report on the effort that said it accomplished, to paraphrase, nothing (see the Chicago Annenberg Challenge). From there, he went to the Illinois Senate, where he had a career of voting present, rather than yea or nay. Then, on to the US Senate, where he has continued his career path of doing little to nothing. So one, it seems, can, with some justification, ask what has prepared him to lead. Where has he shown anything resembling leadership?

Senator Biden carries even less of a resume, having gone from graduation in '69, to the US Senate in '72.

Senator McCain likewise doesn't have all that thick of a resume. At least in the sense of leadership skills. Military to Senate, he at least has the dubious experience of being an officer in the Navy. Again though, not really anything that points to any real claim to leadership experience.

Election after election though, it is Senators that fill the ranks during the primary season. And until now, they get beat by governors, time after time. Makes you wonder if they'll ever figure it out.
