Joni leans on her military experience, and I think people are getting less enamored with military as an electable factor.

I grew up in a big military family and I often wonder why every military person is given the benefit of the doubt as to leadership, intelligence, commitment to country and electability. Yes I admire ALL who served but is that really a prerequisite for Government service?

I like Greenfield's urban planning education and the fact she has already defeated a Military person to get the Dem spot.
