@OmSigDAVID,
Riiiight. Look here, I'm going to say this even though I know it is wasted. You can argue that Obama is not as experienced as McCain. He may even be not experienced enough. But if there was truly nothing to him, if he was really an empty suit and just a pretty face with good speaking skills, don't you think he would have crashed and burned by now? He won the primary by convincing people -- people who took a closer look than Phoenix or Omsig -- that there is substance behind the words and that he has what it takes. He has been vetted by the voters once already. If you truly had a problem with his lack of experience, if you truly believed that all he can do is give a good speech, you would have been appalled at McCain's vp selection. And if you weren't appalled at first, you surely would have been soon after, hearing her recite the same exact lines, lip smacking included, over and over again on the campaign trail. But you're not.
