Reply #83: Please do. When you become the person who defines "qualifications" [View All]

[AP]

so narrowly that only one person passes your test and so many good Democrats don't, it'll put the qualifications issue into a persective that will probably help people with qualifications like Edwards's, Stabenow's, Minner's, Wellstone's, Warner's, Sibelius's, Napolitano's, Boxer's, etc. etc. etc.

And just so that we have this clear, those questions you'll be asking all candidates will be:

(1) Where has he studied economics?

(2) Who are his economic policy mentors? (And I don't mean who are his economic speechwriters).

(3) Has he actually ever managed a budget for more than 20 people?

Now, just so we know, what are the acceptable answers to these questions? And if the Republican has better answers, will you be voting for the Republican?

(By the way, I understand that Edwards does write his own speeches -- no doubt a skill he developed writing all his own opening and closing arguments in all those trials.)
