DM: Does this mean you are going to provide a lucid list of reasons why you are voting for Barack Obama? And no fair maligning the opponent--just be supportive of your guy.
I think Obama's pick for VP demonstrates why I'm going to vote for him. A VP needs to be a seasoned leader who can rally Congress and a nation in the wake of a national tragedy wherein the President has lost his or her life. It's hardly a job for an amature. Obama chose Biden. While I wasn't thrilled with Obama still lacking experience as President his choice demonstrated the widsom and care he'd have as a leader when it comes to subordinates and advisors.
McCain picked Palin. An inexperienced amature politician. I have no confidence that she could run the country should a tragedy unfold and McCain loose his life. He chose her hoping to pick up disenfranchized Hillary voters from Obama. It's obvious that McCain doesn't give a skunk about America navigating a crisis in the wake of his death....he picked her to win an election. That causes me considerable pause when considering who he might pick as subordinates and advisors too.
Obama, in my opinion played a better hand that demonstrated wisdom. Now...had McCain picked someone more seasoned than Biden....that would have been REAL interesting.
I've already listed my reasons on another deacon thread. I don't think listing reasons is going to change anyone's view. I'm just here having fun.
GOOD! I must have missed that one. I'll have to go search it out. I cant wait to read it.

This rationale is perplexing.
So McCain shows lack of wisdom in picking Palin as a VP running mate. BUT Obama has LESS executive experience than Palin and he is the TOP OF THE TICKET!!!!
Your concern is that Palin lacks experience and isn't qualified to be president and that there is a chance that Mac might die while in office, BUT Obama lacks experience and isn't qualified to be prez and he would be president from DAY ONE!!!!!
I am corn-fused

Of course you're confused, you're a McCain voter.
Obama may not have all the experience you and I would like a President to have....but he demonstrated far better wisdom in his VP pick than McCain. That tells me that Obama chooses subordinates and advisors wisely; his cabinate will be strong and capable. McCain chose an inexperienced VP candidate (one just as bad if not worse than Obama himself). That tells me McCain's cabinate and advisors will be a circus of ineptitude.
The big question is HOW?Lenin promised some great stuff too.....and we know how that turned out.
Distortion.
At least half of Obama's first term will be spent helping America get back on track. Most of his initiatives will have to be changed in various ways to get through congress before becoming law.
To compare Obama with Lennin is to compare Bush with Hitler. It's a gross exaggeration that minimalizes the real evil in our world. Bush, with all his problems, isn't anywhere near as bad as Hitler. And Obama, with all his ambitious vision, isn't anywhere near as bad as Lenin.
