Personally, I'd say that Obama doesn't have the "experience" I'd be looking for. BUT...his choices are more impressive than McCain's. It shows that though he may not have the "experience" he knows how to make wise choices as far as VP and advisers go. McCain...he picked Barbie. While McCain has more "experience" in public office, his VP choice illustrates that he really isn't ready to govern the country. He's running for President of the United States, the most powerful position in the free world...not the Senate.
right up to where you said the word "Barbie", I at least recognize the argument as one that is honest... even if I disagree with you and would debate it. But that barbie comment just kind of nullifies the comment.

Well said. People seem to not realize that once they resort to name-calling, they weaken their own argument.
Sarah Palin has had an impressive politcal career, even at the relatively young age of 44. The woman is a former mayor, and now governor whose approval ratings are among the highest of any governor in the US. But liberals feel the need to minimize as being just a "beauty queen" or "pretty face", with dismissive names like "Barbie", etc. I find this extremely sexist.

Name me a VP candidate by the republicans that they have not tried to distroy?

TR, we both know that there has been plenty of juvenile name-calling to go around from both sides. I could fill a notebook just with every variation of Barack Obama's name that I've read here. I do agree that name-calling weakens arguments, I just believe that it weakens arguments on both sides.

The Barbie comment makes the point. lol McCain chose someone to generate a celebrity factor...Obama chose a seasoned leader and politician who can seriously lead in the event of his demise.

Good grief.
Politically, I dont agree with you on much, Antipas; but I dont believe you're clueless by any means.
I know you must be able to see how referring to a sitting Governor [who happens to be an attractive female] as "Barbie" is considered sexist and insulting by many, if not most, women.... and many men too.
