    If George Weah goes to the house of sanate in 2014,it will be a political trap that the other politician will build around him for the 2017 presidential election in Liberia. Please do not mut your foot into that dirty political water yaahhhhhhhhh.

    I differ with you brother Kollie on grounds that Weah's ascendency to the Senate will serve as a 'political springboard' at achieving his long awaited dream, "the Presidency."

    Perhaps contesting for the 2014 senatorial race is the amicable thing to do at the time, for Mr. Weah who bided for the highest post unsuccessfully for two times. I see this as a smart move and I strongly would like to encourage Mr. Weah to contest for the senate seat. I am saddened by those who continue to make references to Mr. Weah’s education; they` need to rethink their assessment of him. It is obvious without mentioning Mr.Weah, dedication, strength, judgment, love for Liberia and not to mention his patriotism. Generally, there are not specific requirements to seek the senate seat other than, one who is trusted, and capable of advocating the rights of his constituents.

Not to discredit the current composition of senators now serving, has education plays a role in their election? Please don't jump the rope, let the voters make the choice.

    Am I missing something? Whenever the issue of Weah's qualification to lead is raised, some get unreasonably emotional. He is neither prepared for the Senate, or the presidency. While some argue that he can learn on the job, effective and pragmatic leadership is acquired through a lifespan of experiences.

    Devry University, where Weah graduated from in the United States, offers sub-standard teachings, and is an academic joke. If you doubt me, research the school's profile. I think he can play a role in our beloved country, but not at the governance level. Running the affairs of the government is not a popularity contest, nor a pageant. Is there anyone that thinks Weah could articulate and defend his ideologies in a televised debate moderated by the Liberian media? Stop it!

    DeVry University is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (HLC/NCA), www.ncahlc.org. The University's Keller Graduate School of Management is included in this accreditation.

    2316, I appreciate your feedback. I'm aware of Devry's accreditation. I'm sure many students have graduated from institutions like these, and done well. My point is that, Weah just isn't qualified to perform either job. I know many CDCians who share my view, but feel helpless in expressing it. There are so many experienced CDCians who would make better candidates, yet,the party's wing of Weah supporters are caught up in his washed up success and popularity. Liberia deserves better!
