I guess I'd feel more comfortable if she had some experience in government, or in things other than the war.

Her eis what will happen if she is elected, wich, BTW, will never happen, not even in the land of the crazies known as SFCA :laugh" -- she will go to DC and be completely ineffective. Not one person will work with her for two reasons:
1. She is widely perceived as a nutcase. True, it is sad that her don died, but the vast majority of people likely see that as he knew that chance existed when re-enlisted. SO, who is she to second guess his conscious thought.
2. Even if she is seen as a nutcase, she could command respect if she had an inkling of power. But, she has none whatsoever and her power of the press will not help her in the slightest. After all, what have all her rantings in the press actually gained her in terms of what she sought?
So, CA and ther D's are much better off not electing her.
I do note, however, that I am all for getting rid of almost all the R's and about 75% of the D's, as I view them as ineffective and money and power hungry, with little care or interest in the welfare of the American people at all socioeconomic levels. I just do not see the grossly inexperienced and powerless CS as a vehicle to implement this change, much less as a capretbagger.
