I am concerned with his temperament. I see McCain as even more prone to invading other countries than Bush. His propensity to try to 'win' wars might come from being a POW during Vietnam -- I don't know. But I don't see Iraq as a 'winnable' situation. The only 'win' is to turn over Iraq to the Iraqis. I originally had an opinion similar to yours about Obama. I have changed my mind after carefully considering him. While Hillary was in the picture I honestly didn't give him much serious consideration. I didn't want to like him. > He has zero executive experience.

I am not anti-Palin. I don't think she's ready to be VP to a 72-year-old guy, but I surely don't think she's an idiot. There is a lot to like there. I hope she cleans up her ethical act as well as McCain did. She has a future in the Republican party if she does a good job improving her ethical record. IMO, McCain is history. He blew his chance by being inconsistent during his campaign. Not to worry. He can simply retire and divide his time between his homes in whatever percentage suits him.
