1) the republican choice for vice president is as mr spock would say illogical (i would say bordering on insane
2) barack obama is one smart dude (if you can find it, listen to zappa's rap on not being afraid to be smart. i heard it on the radio on my way home from work yesterday and was floored all over again)
3) barack obama may not have all of the experience of mccain BUT BARACK OBAMA GETS 'IT' WAY MORE THAN MCCAIN DOES
4) why would either of 'em want the job? (yes, i think of this ALL of the time)
5) barack obama cares about education and health care
6) barack obama is not a bitter, angry, dangerously overemotional geezebomb
7) i like barack obama BETTER
an editorial from the wapo
Barack Obama for President
THE NOMINATING process this year produced two unusually talented and qualified presidential candidates. There are few public figures we have respected more over the years than Sen. John McCain. Yet it is without ambivalence that we endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president.
The choice is made easy in part by Mr. McCain's disappointing campaign, above all his irresponsible selection of a running mate who is not ready to be president. It is made easy in larger part, though, because of our admiration for Mr. Obama and the impressive qualities he has shown during this long race. Yes, we have reservations and concerns, almost inevitably, given Mr. Obama's relatively brief experience in national politics. But we also have enormous hopes.
Mr. Obama is a man of supple intelligence, with a nuanced grasp of complex issues and evident skill at conciliation and consensus-building. At home, we believe, he would respond to the economic crisis with a healthy respect for markets tempered by justified dismay over rising inequality and an understanding of the need for focused regulation. ..........
