We can agree to disagree...I have never questioned Sen. Obama's intelligence, just whether or not he can lead this country. Bottom line is that I just don't trust the man, I don't trust his judgement and I don't trust those that he has associated with (past or present). The debate tonight should be a good one. "

" wisconsingal,
Your average 11 year old would likely be able to tell you what she read last month. Your average 11 year old would likely be able to name the three branches of government, and quite frankly after her performances so far I doubt Sarah Palin could do even that. Position does NOT automatically reflect intilligence, just as resume does not automatically reflect leadership ability. The top 10 qualities of leadership are vision, humility, openness, assertiveness (NOT to be confused with aggressiveness), integrity, magnanimity (giving credit where it is due), fairness, dedication, creativity, and a sense of humor. Notice that experience is NOT on this list, and no, I didn't just make it up. Obama in my opinion has these bases covered. McCain has 4 out of 10 at best. "

I also don't find John McCain working hard to "keep his composure" as you claim, he is a passionate man...I don't think that there is anything wrong with that. He IS a leader. I'd like you to site three things that Sen. Obama has been the leader of to show that he is the change that this country needs. "

" We need to bring a degree of intelligence back to the White House. Sarah Palin has the intelligence of your average 7th grader. McCain, while doing some impressive things in his life, has the mindset of your average G.I.. He is NOT a leader; he is someone who is very good at following orders. All you hear him talk about is wanting to fight, he is so mired in his own personal anger issues that it is an ongoing struggle for him to just maintain his composure. We do NOT need volatility and ignorance in the White House, which is exactly what you would get with McCain/Palin. Obama/Biden are intelligent, composed, thoughtful leaders. What a breath of fresh air it will be to have them sit in the driver’s seat. Only 21 more days. "

" History will be made in the upcoming election. Either we will have a mixed race president or a woman vicepresident. My personal opinion is McCain picked Pallin because she is young, good looking and ads a lot of spice to his campaign. He uses her as a crutch to support himself. Obama stands on his own. I think Obama is delusional about the median income, $250,000, but he has some good ideas.
Maybe if Obama wins we won't hear the word discrimination as often. Anyone who thinks one person can turn this country around is dreaming. There has to be an effort to change. Big industry needs to bring home the jobs, there will be no one to purchase ifthe jobs aren't here. "
