So? Need I remind you of the refutation of that crap argument you gave before?

Two of the WORST US PRESIDENTS IN HISTORY had huge amounts of experience. You act as if experience assures success and that inexperience is automatic failure.

Yeah, 2% is a pretty good margin. I've seen some polls this cycle, national polls with samples of like 1000 people. That's like polling New Hampshire by randomly calling 3 people!

A Presidential campaign. Barack Obama spent over $200 mil in the primary, God knows how much of that was spent after McCain won the nomination and ceased his primary campaign. There will be debates, ads, issues, etc. I'm not saying necessarily that McCain will win, just that spending $200 mil and winding up with a 4 or 5 point lead over someone who hasn't been running cannot possibly be rationally taken as an indication that that 4 point lead is an insurmountable barrier.

I sure hope there is..........Its true that I don't agree with Obama on any issue but even if I did and was a democrat I would vote for McCain or not vote at all.....We live i very dangerous times......With all the problems facing this country we can't afford to have a rookie with no experience and who is clueless on foreign policy...........The guy is and accident waiting to happen......If he did not have a TelePrompTer he would be a mental midget............143 days in the senate does not qualify anyone to be president.........This guy is very scary and we find out something every day how flawed and inept this guy is.............

No thanks..........

So just to be clear: if their resumes were reversed, you'd vote for Obama?

Who would you consider our best commanders-in-chief to be? I would pick James K. Polk, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt. Of those, only TR had any military experience at all.

How many days in the Senate DO you think qualifies someone to be president? What do they learn on those extra days that they need to know for the White House?

I could never vote for someone with Obama's policies.........I don't think Conservatives would ever nominate someone with his experience........At least they haven't in the 44 years I have been voting.........Nor would they ever nominate someone so far to the left.........

None of those people you mentioned had to deal with the world as it is today............Of the Republicans this year the one I agreed with most was Huckabee or Romney but in this political climate they were not electable.....The best man to beat Obama in 2008 is McCain.............

A couple of terms in the senate or being a governor for 1 or 2 terms would suffice...........

Notice how you throw in being governor for 1 term....otherwise you would have to admit that your hero....the man that you have referred to as "a great and inspired world leader"....had about the same qualifications....

Most people realize now...that GWB was a huge mistake....only the diehards like yourself still believe that he is doing an incredible job and is a great and inspired world leader.....

Your hero will be known as one of the worst....if not THE worst President we've ever had. I'm sure as one of his biggest fans....that makes you proud.

I beg to differ. Although Bush has not been an exemplary President I do not feel he will be looked on by future generations as harshly as he is now. Do not misconstrue this post as an endorsement of Bush, but I do not think it is accurate to characterise him as one of the worst Presidents we've ever had, especially not the worst. Admittedly, I'm not very well-versed in the complexities of historical policy analysis but I'm going to assume that neither are you.
