Qualifications

By The Daily Dish

Feb 17 2008, 3:17 AM ET

[Patrick Appel] Statements like this by Mark Penn really don't help his case:

Winning Democratic primaries is not a qualification or a sign of who can win the general election. If it were, every nominee would win because every nominee wins Democratic
primaries.

I second Jeff Fecke's response:

This is, in fact, true. However, losing Democratic primaries is strongly correlated with not being able to win elections.
