Thanks, Y. I meant “went one better than his wife.”

Book, do you mean “wrote one better” than his wife?

Btw Al Gore just finished speaking at Invesco Field in Denver, and also compared Obama to Lincoln.

Is that going to be their excuse when they create a false flag mission to kill Obama and blame it on the Republicans? That Obama was like Lincoln?

Neither would I if I lived in Calfornia but I wouldn’t vote for Ah-nuld again either. And I have no intention of voting for the Stepford Democrat Congresswoman who represents my district here in Florida and runs, effectively, without opposition.

I’m a registered Independent, but as long as California keeps fielding Democratic candidates such as Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Lynn Woolsey, I don’t see myself voting Democrat any time soon.

I remember Henry Scoop Jackson. And, for all that, Everett Dirksen, Charles Percy and Adlai Stevenson too. Being from Chicago, I wouldn’t vote for a product of the Machine and a denizen of Hyde Park,where somebody like Bill Ayers is simply a nice man in the neighborhood, like Mr Rogers, but who still in his heart of hearts admires Che and Frantz Fanon and Gramsci and has a copy of Empire autographed by Antonio Negri. Well, I’m making that up. I don’t care for the Democrat party as currently constituted with its fulcrum dragged to the left but as an Independent I won’t rule out voting for a Democrat for some office. Victor Davis Hanson still votes for his Democrat Rep in California. I was interested in hearing Mark Warner speak in Denver the other night.

I agree that being a fly boy doesn’t make one qualified to be President with the exception of one qualification – that is simply decisiveness. Whether the decision is made in 2 seconds or 2 days or 2 weeks, sometimes a decision _must_ be made. McCain has shown he _can_ make decisions. Obama seems utterly unable to make decisions. He seems to suffer from the paralysis by analysis affliction – not a good trait.

Zhombre,

To your very astute list of reasons (because I agree, of course), I add that I would never ever vote for any product of the Chicago political combine for President. That being said, as a former Scoop Jackson Democrat (for those of you that may still recall what that means), I will not vote for any Democrat to national office any longer, nowhere, no-how.

dg, I also assumed that your original post directed one to a comparison of Lincoln and Obama, a comparison other O-supporters I know have made. I agree with you that flight training doesn’t make anyone ready to be President. Neither does being a community organizer for three years, or being a law professor, or editing a law review without actually publishing or being biracial and supremely almost preternaturally self confident. I’ve said before and say again I do not support Obama because he is a liberal Democrat, and I have ceased to be one; because he has virtually no legislative achievements or executive experience; and because I deeply distrust a campaign based on charisma, oratory and imagery. McCain was never my first choice for POTUS but I will vote for him based on experience, service to this country, and the fact that he is closer to my positions on the issues. If he loses, so be it. Even should McCain win, I suspect the Democrats in Congress, the media and the federal workforce will do everything in their power to sabotage his administration, and the left will harp endlessly and operatically on The Stolen Election of 2008 and The Inherent Racism of America in its failure to elect an African-American President.
