Fred was generally conceded to a lightweight senator. Rudy was a mayor of a big city - that may qualify him, but.....
Would I vote for someone unqualified who shared my views? Good question. In voting one is not measuring candidates against a desired set of qualification, but rather measuring them against opposing candidates. I always vote for the candidate I consider to be the lesser of two evils.
I am, this year for the first time, a single issue voter. I will not vote for any candidate who does not endorse federal funding for embryonic stem cell research with an expanded number of stem cell lines.
To me opposition to federal funding for embryonic stem cell research is the same as saying "Ron, I want your wife to go blind."
