If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your organization from  a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000 to $400,000, then become the  first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a  voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new African American voters, spend 12 years as a  Constitutional Law professor, then spend nearly 8 more years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, becoming chairman  of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, then spend nearly  4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of  nearly 13 million people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,  Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you are  woefully inexperienced.
However, if you spend 4 years on the city council and 2 years as the  mayor of a town with less than 9,000 people,
then spend 20 months as the governor of a state with 650,000 people,

upon to do so because your state is the closest state to Russia.
