Republicans And Obama

The following is an excerpt from the Washington Times which indicates that many of my fellow Republicans have fallen under the spell of Obama. Please say it isn’t so!

Republicans like Sen. Barack Obama nearly as much as they like their own likely presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, according to a new Fox 5/The Washington Times/Rasmussen Reports poll.

The survey determined that a quarter of self-identified Republicans rated Mr. McCain most likable, but nearly as many — 23 percent — chose Mr. Obama as most likable. And among all adults surveyed, Mr. Obama was rated likable by more people than Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mr. McCain combined, underscoring the Illinois senator’s appeal to voters across the political spectrum.

First off, it is important to note that this is a “likability” survey, and not a “electability” survey. The equivalent a deciding a food smells good as an indication of if you will actually eat it.

Secondly — Wake up people. McCain is not my first choice, but he is a far cry more sane that anyone else out there. He actually has the experience to do the job, and has the life experience to do it right. Sure he is a bit more liberal that I like, is in need of some anger management classes but overall he is the best man (or woman) in the running. Period.

Michael Ramerez sums up my thoughts quite nicely in the following political cartoon. So what do you want, charisma or experience for the man at the helm of our country for the next 4 to 8 years?

Hillary endorses McCain?

No, not really - at least not yet. But she did give Obama another hit on the experience Front, using McCain as an example.

From The New York Enquirer Times.

“I think you’ll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say — he’s never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience,” Mrs. Clinton said aboard her campaign plane as she flew to Dallas. “I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002.”

Ouch, that is going to leave a mark. So Hillary endorses McCain over Obama? That shows remarkably good sense, I doubt it will last.

Direct, concise, and to the point - very atypical of Hillary. She has it mostly right - if one assumes that living in the Whitehouse for 8 years actually gives you a lifetime of experience. One could argue the maid or chef has that experience as well - they just need to run.
