In a recent interview, Senator Bob Smith stated, "My opponent, Governor Joe Lye, is a very capable politician, but he's not experienced enough to lead this country. He's only been governor for one term, and he has no idea how to deal with the political system in Washington." Which of the following is it most important for voters to do in evaluating these statements? Look at Lye's issue-based platforms for flaws or inconsistencies. Review Lye's education to look for experience in political science. Examine Lye's history and track record as governor. Assess Lye's arguments and claims made during political debates.

Smith called the experience as Governor into question. In evaluating this statement, voters should examine the experience as Governor to see if Smith has made a correct assessment.

Smith said Lye's experience as governor is not enough for him to be a good president. Either that's true or it's not. Voters can look at Lye's accomplishments as governor and decide if they agree with smith or not
