Obama's inexperienced....but he demonstrated exceptional wisdom and leadership ability by choosing seasoned leaders like Biden and Powell as Vice President and key advisor.

McCain's experienced...but he demonstrated a lack of wisdom and a grasping for political expediency by choosing Barbie to hold the second most powerful executive office in the United States.

And as far as Joe Lieberman goes...he'll do anything to set himself apart from the rank and file Democrat.

I know where you are coming from Antipas. and I dont agree. Frist of all Obama HAD to pick someone who would be seen as a steady hand just like George Bush did (back then we called that gravitas).

McCain didnt have that problem. Unlike Obama McCain had all the gravitas he needed......until the spinmiesters in the media got ahold of the decision.

All the sudden McCain needs more gavitas because he is old and might die.

McCain did what he needed to do and that was pick someone who appealed to the base and could bring energy to the campaign. He did that.

But to think that the libs were going to let him do what he needed to do without taking their shots is silly.

this line of Republicans picking weak VPs would be stupid if it wasnt so old. It is at least as old as Richard Nixon. and maybe older than that.

There hasnt been a republican VP candidate that wasnt either too old, too inexperienced, or too mean in living memory.

The proof is in the reality that I can name every President going back to Woodrow Wilson but with the exception of the ones who became president, or who got kicked out of office, I cant name a VP beyond Al Gore.

VPs dont matter. They never really have except this time because John McCains VP energized his base. Therefore the air needed to be let out of the balloon.

The hypocracy of Collin Powell saying that Palin isnt qualified is a parrotting of the same hypocracy of so many others who will vote for a PRESIDENT who is no more qualified than the woman they denigrate.
