McCain has edge over Democrats

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

How can anyone say "I can't wait to see [candidate x] fail" at this point? I mean, it's not even spring yet. How can you hate any of the candidates?

McCain is slimier and dirtier than most people know, and a lot more conservative than some people want to believe, IMO. But Jeez, I don't hate the guy!

And if Hillary gets the nom, I'm ready to back her up. I want Obama, but if it doesn't work out that way, the minute Hillary gets the nom, I'm forgetting all that and supporting her.

I see the love Alex! Do you say this to Rey right before you give him a kiss?

I'll say anything so he doesn't realize I'm closing my eyes and pretending I'm about to kiss you, CarolsMarc.

Your kindness and love is duly noted.

What happened to the 'chosen one'?

McCain will lead Obama down the road of inexperience. By bringing up things Obama knows nothing about.

Obama may be young and also might not have as much experience as McCain...but McCain is just too old period, I don't hate the guy though...

That's my view also. If he got in - I think he'd be a single-term only.

You had better hope your employer doesnt use this same attitude in about 30 years. I can see how pissed off you would be if your boss let you go for the reasons you are suggesting here. My god man!

You can be too young but you can't be too old?

Not really. Its a high-stress, high-profile position. The man is 72. Whether his health will last the term of office has to be a consideration - on some level at least.

So is being in a POW camp for five years. I beleive whole heartedly in the fact that age brings wisdom. The "too old period" wasnt used in that context. It was used in a way that age is somehow a bad thing,plain and simple. The same case can be made for "too young" also.

Actually you don't know in what context I meant that...I do not think that age is a bad thing "plain and simple"..I also agree that with age brings wisdom..I think my grandfather who is 98 and a war hero is the smartest and most wonderful person I know but now is too old to do alot of things...That's just keeping it real...man

Great! This is also my intention that Obama gets the nomination, but if it is Hillary, I am supporting her. I have tremondous respect for John McCain.

The thing is....having experience doesn't necessarily make you more qualified for the job...there have been plenty of presidents that have had "experience" that have sucked and others with notably less experience that have been great or at least decent...Whoever wins ie...Hillary or Obama...more power to them cause experience or no...they are going to need all the help in the world to get out of this mess that W has left for them...

You left out unforseen messes created by inexperience.

Lets not forget...the president has a cabinet....

" Too old period" I dont know what context you meant? Its obvious what you meant and the fact is, your attempt to wiggle out of it shows this.

Oh, you believe the president works in isolation and all the decisions are his alone do you? What planet are you on?

Seriously, especially when the alternative, if you're a supporter of Clinton, is handing the Republicans the Supreme Court.

It's very early (Obama was outpolling McCain a couple days ago), and it depends on what the election ends up being 'about.' and who the VPs are. McCain is weak on anything that isn't foreign policy; he just doesn't care about it all that much, and it it shows in interviews. Obama is stronger on domestic policy and if he picks up a strong VP candidate, and the economy continues to tank, it'll be the Dems election, easily.

Do you think Bill Richardson would help? He's great on foreign policy but he's also "ethnic" and I'm afraid that would turn some people off. Dunno.

Yes, Bill Richardson would be a good one. His Latino Ethnicity should help Obama. There is another good choice, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. She is a popular Gov. in a red state.

Decisions, after all is said and done lay at the feet of the president.

Strangely that rationale doesn't seem to apply when determining the ultimate responsibilty for starting a war.

It is a fair point that when you hit your 70's a lot can happen to you, healthwise, in a 4-year period. Let alone 8...
