Remember that word?
Gravitas?
It is used when a Republican without extensive DC or other media approved experience runs for high office. It was used in 1988 against Dan Quayle and used again in 2000 against George Bush. Quayle was a two term US Senator and Bush was a twice elected governor of Texas.
But in 2008 the use of "gravitas" is forbidden.
Why?
Senator Obama has little or no experience and no accomplishsments. But he does give pretty speeches that float away in the media windstorm. And he is ranked as the most liberal (read: Left) US Senator, even more "liberal" than the avowed socialist Bernie Sanders.
Gravitas?
Nah, not important this year.
