will spend the rest of his life wondering why he rejected the obvious road to victory, that is, choosing Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential nominee. He is truly a very timid man. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/JI03Aa02.html
Obama is the most talented and persuasive politician of his generation, the intellectual superior of his competitors, with a silver tongue and a beautiful family…. but a fatally insecure personality.
Rejecting Clinton in favor of the tangle-tongued Washington insider Joe Biden was a statement of weakness.
McCain’s selection was a statement of strength. America’s voters will forgive many things in a politician but they will not forgive weakness.
In short, Senator Obama is long on brains and short on guts. During the Cuban missile crises in 1962 I was at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station… Sec. of State Rusk [I think it was him] said famously..”We were eyeball to eyeball and the other guy just blinked.” Senator Obama’s nerve failed and he blinked at the cusp of his success.
By all rights, the Democrats should win this election. They will lose, I predict, because of the flawed character of Senator Obama.
As we already know in Alaska, our Governor Palin has no such problem… [Nor does that old guy running on the ticket with her 🙂 ]… When Obama lost his nerve and refused Hillary, the old guy went for the jugular as a warrior will always do… and chose a pit bull with lipstick… and I think you all sense this about our Sarah… She ain’t blinking…

“Obama is the most talented and persuasive politician of his generation, the intellectual superior of his competitors, with a silver tongue and a beautiful family …”
In light of Sarah Palin’s appearance on the national scene, this line may already be out of date.

Obama appears to always have a knee jerk reaction to everything and as we know he picked Biden in order to TRY to shore up his foreign policy credentials. The problem is, that neither Obama or Biden have any economic experience so just HOW do they plan on shoring up that shortage? I guess with Obama he thinks the ONLY requirement for the WH is some type of foreign policy experience???
With the McCain/Palin ticket we have all bases covered – foreign policy and economic and an absolute guarantee that the USA will not be sold out to those who would like to see harm come to this great country.

“most talented”?????? History will decide that, but I doubt that it will concur.
