The quote is just too funny. Governor Ritter, Democrat – Colorado, stated that he was not qualified to be the Vice President of America, because he has only had 18 months experience in his job.

“Rosen: “Why don’t you think you’d be a good choice?”

Ritter: “Well, just because, I think there are a lot of things that he has to take into consideration. I’ve been governor for 18 months. My experience before that was as a district attorney. I loved being a district attorney…but I don’t think that’s what Barack Obama’s looking for in a vice president. I’ve been governor for 18 months. It’s been a great experience. But it’s just 18 months…Obama has to think about experience…levels of experience…”

It was then kindly pointed out to him that Obama, who he is supporting, has only 143 days experience as a Senator.

Caller Richard from Windsor: “Governor, you said 18 months’ experience wasn’t enough experience as governor to be the vice president. Would you want to contrast that with the 143 days’ experience Obama as senator before he decided he had enough experience to be president.”

Ritter: All I can tell ya is I am a fan of Barack Obama’s. Met him in 2004 during his campaign for Senate…You meet him and discover there’s something very different about him. That’s all I’ll say.

It would seem to me that Ritter would be more qualified for the job than Obama. After all, Ritter has 18 months experience running his state, while Obama has 143 days, sitting in a room, listening to blow-hards talk. Oh, and then he gets to say “yea” or “nay”. Of course, giving the extensive vacation schedule that the House and Senate seem to enjoy, it might take 6 years for a Senator to accrue 143 days on the job.
