But you have to consider McCains age, his medical history and the stress level of the job of President.. that wears people out. Have you ever seen before and after pictures when people become and leave the job... scary.. you can see the stress!

It's sad to think some people believe Palin is more qualified. I guess some Americans want mediocrity.

when he got his prestigious afirmative action appointment to the Law Review how come he NEVER published anything?

if he was so in debt how did he afford these schools? How did he afford a trip to Indonesia, India and finally Pakistan with his muslim friends Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and
Wahid Hamid after he graduated and why did he insist on being called Barack after this trip when before he was "barry"?

if he was so in debt how did he afford 1.65 million home in Chicago? Tony Rezko? of course.

these are the questions the O-bots cant answer, just 'hope and change'.

As Colin Powell pointed out, the number one responsibility of the V.P. is to be ready to fill in as President. To which Palin is dangerously unqualified for.

Futhermore, Obama has the education and life experiences that Palin does not have. Something that would be extremely beneficial if he is elected.

Yes, but genetics is not a solid indicator of life expectancy. Ask any doctor. While genetics does play an important part in your health it's not an assurance of anything.

The Harvard Law Review includes people based strictly on merit. Affirmative action has NOTHING to do with it.

He paid for college with scholarships and student loans. It happens all the time. That's the way I did it, too.

He paid off his loans and paid for his home with the proceeds from his own job, his wife's job, and the money from his books. The books are bestsellers. Very lucrative.

Questions answered. I don't think the comments about his travel or his travel companions merit a response. Many people take trips abroad.

No, the number one job of the VP is to break a tie in the Senate. and furthermore, why would you believe anything that war-monger , lie before the UN to push an illegal war for Bush, person would say?

pray do tell, do you actually know how many times the VP has had to take over for the President in the course of this nations history? google is your friend.

"education and life experiences" this is akin to "hope and change" , what life experiences will make him a good president? your arguments are like Oblahma, empty.
