(in a 1984 debate, referring to Walter Mondale): I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent`s youth and inexperience.
- Ronald Reagan(As a result, Nagin himself has become part of the debate over how best to rebuild the devastated Big Easy. Critics suggest the qualities that endeared him to Orleanians before Katrina, among them his political inexperience and his shoot-from-the-hip approach, make him the wrong man for the massive, labyrinthine job ahead. But his supporters, especially members of the business community, say the reconstruction project offers Nagin, 49, a chance to dramatically change not only New Orleans` skyline but also the more larcenous and dysfunctional side of its free wheeling culture.) I`m still high on him, ... He`s the right leader to bring the city back?especially when you consider that the corrupt old guard could try to exploit this disaster and come back into power.
- Mark LewisI think our inexperience showed and maybe our lack of depth at the moment.
- Graeme SmithI thought we set an early tone with our play on defense. Highland has some inexperience up front and we were able to take advantage of some things. Overall, we were pretty pleased for an opening game. There`s always going to be some rough edges that first time out.
- Anna BigunInexperience can be used as an excuse or an opportunity. It is as an excuse that it is most often trotted out England`s management ... India, throughout, this series, have used is as an opportunity.
- Aston TealI think it just shows you where we are as a team. We are a young, inexperienced team that is trying to learn to finish a game. You saw some of our maturity and inexperience come out when the game got tight and got frustrating. We almost gave this game away. Hopefully we learn from this.
