CH,
I agree that the polls will change when we finally get a Dem nominee. I will also agree that I'm a little wary of him making some smart aleck remarks down the road, but, thus far, he is presenting himself in a good, solid and stately manner. He has experience in war and policy. Those are both a plus. I still believe these two things are very important to the American people.
I see that you are carrying the same "100 years" dialogue that the media and both the Dem camps what to focus on. Those two little words that resonate. It's a great political ploy.
My only concern would be the people that overlook the logic of what McCain is actually saying, which I will quote again.

"Make it 100. We've been in South Korea ... we've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed, that's fine with me. I hope that would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where al Qaeda is training, recruiting and equipping and motivating people every single day."

I am concerned, as it bleeds over into the church, that we have lost our fortitude, perseverance, and our endurance.
Who in the world, in their right mind, thought this deal in Iraq was going to be easy? Who didn't understand their culture was steeped and hard to get into their minds? At least logical people know that "trust" bridges any communication and religious ideology gaps.
At least McCain on a military level understands these things. If I had to pick of the three running, I would pick McCain, with all his warts. At least the old codger will say what he wants to say and people will allow it, mainly because we still respect age and wisdom of age.
As far as I'm concerned, he is the best choice. If I change my mind, I'll let you know.
