Exactly! It's like putting someone who's never been in war in the middle of Iraq. They've gone through the training, but you just don't know how they will respond to actual war... Ever seen Saving Private Ryan?

However, McCain has military leadership exp, including in a combat zone, being able to make proper decisions under that kind of pressure is clearly a positive sign for his decision making he would make as the Commander in Chief. None of the other have wartime leadership exp. No doubt in my mind who is more qualified. To argue it is just wishful thinking.

I'd rather have that than someone who we've never seen under ANY executive pressure at all.... You wouldn't? And by the way, the Mayor of Newark, Ohio, isn't running for President OR Vice President. |

What Americans want is a leader out of the economic mess and that problem by far helps the Democrats. Economics is and has always been the worst issue for the GOP. McCain admits that hes not an economist. When you get down to who knows how both the country and world works, BOTH democrats have more experience. McCain only has experience in defense and National Security thats it. A Palin will being a mayor for a town of 7000 doesn't count for much. Palin was governor of a state of less than 600K, for less than 2 years, Obama was a state senator of a state of 18 Million for 10 years. There is simply no way you suggest that Palin has more experience, its laughable. BTW, not even the GOP states this. A person who has been in DC 4 years on the Senate Foreign relations commitee for exceeds the Mayor of Wasilla. Last edited by mmarsh; September 14th, 2008 at 21:05.. | |

No it doesn't. Barack Obama didn't influence ONE vote either way. Barack Obama never made "the call" he voted. Along with numerous other people. Are you suggesting that anyone who's been a senator can be the President?! That's ridiculous. There is a HUGE difference between being a part of something bigger and being the only one to choose what to do. No matter what the population of the city or state. Quite honestly, it's laughable that you think senatorial experience is good enough. The GOP doesn't state this because they don't think it does anything for the election.....
