text: Mr. Yaqoob is a newcomer.  Some voters don't perceive that to be a bad thing.  In fact, they think it is a good thing.  What seems odd is being attacked for being a newcomer and not having a wealth of experience, even when he is admitting that he is, indeed, a newcomer.  
  
  I was making a general point regarding the voters voting for people who are younger, who don't have a wealth of experience or little more than clerkships and internships. If you want a newcomer, vote for Anosh.  If you want the incumbent, vote for Kaneshiro.  But it is odd to criticize the newcomer for not having experience when he tells you directly, in a straightforward manner, that he is a newcomer.
