I like McCain as a person, but he's just too far over the hill and I think
would be a dangerous choice for POTUS because of that and because he is
too closely wedded to the failed policies of the Bush Administration.



I also respect McCain but am not sure he can put the right team together to
win an election, let alone run the country. So far his campaign seems to be
one of flying by the seat of his pants with little or no strategy or well
thought out plan.

Obama is a gifted speaker and is eloquent in his delivery, but so far
there's no beef to back up the beautiful words.

McCain is blowing it by shedding his "maverick" reputation and aligning
himself with many of the Bush administration policies, most likely at the
advice of his advisors who are concerned with losing some of the GOP base
support. IMO, he should speak *his* mind.

I am starting to believe, as another posted noted, that neither McCain or
Obama have the right stuff.

Overall, the Dems blew it, IMO, by having a primary season dominated by the
foolish infighting of two candidates.
There were other Democratic candidates much more qualified to be POTUS who
fell by the wayside due to the circus-like media focus on Hillary/Obama.

The GOP blew it also by ignoring some other decent candidates.

The GOP has a generation that needs to permanently retire before it can
become effective again.

What to do .... what to do?
