This is a true not for nuthin’: Obama announced his candidacy for President about two years after being elected to the U.S. Senate and look at him now. Well, we’re just about two years into the Senatorial Career of one Sheldon Whitehouse. If the timeline were right, how seriously would we take a Whitehouse announcement that he’s running for the White House after two years of national political experience? Why do I think the term hubris would get thrown around? Yeah, it’s probably simplistic as all hell, but maybe it shows how much luck and timing , and how little experience, plays in this arena. Anyway, just a thought.
