Just limiting this to candidates who secured the nomination since '92, I'd say Al Gore and George H.W. Bush were both more experienced, with federal experience in both the executive and legislative branches.
If you strip out the need to have experience in multiple branches, John McCain, John Kerry, and Bob Dole all had more experience (and if you count the military as part of the executive branch, all three have experience in both).
That's 5 candidates out of 10 since '92 that had more experience at just the federal level. If you don't limit it to the federal level and/or candidates who were nominated, there have been tons of more qualified candidates in recent history.
I don't know how this "most qualified" or "one of the most qualified" stuff got started, and I don't know how it continues when so many recent examples spring to mind.
No clue why this got modded down. Had a devil of a time tracking down this issue in a mobile app I just started taking care of. Like the grandparent, it never occurred to me that POSTs would get cached, but sure enough, they were.
