Who's our horse in 2008? [updated]

It occurs to me that one of the main planks of the Democratic '08 platform should be that we will put the best qualified people in places where they are needed, starting with the president. We don't need a CEO president, because the country is not a corporation, the revenue streams and goals are utterly different. It's my belief that we need somebody who can point to an actual PLACE where they were the chief executive, and how they turned that place around. To me, this means mayors and governors. So here's a thought: if you have somebody in charge of where you are, are they any good? Have they turned the city or state around?
