Does Experience Matter?

Does Experience Matter?

Electoral-Vote.com has an interesting post up today.  Since the hot topic in the race between Hillary and Obama seems to be experience, E-V looks at whether experience and Presidential greatness are correlated.

The conclusion?

That looks like an awfully poor correlation to me.   (”Greatness” as measured by various surveys is the vertical access (bottom = best), and “experience” as measured by years of elected office is the horizontal axis (right = most time served).)

Clicking on the image will take you to the original, along with the discussion at E-V.
