<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe that ego aside, no one is truly "ready"
to be president. There is no school that prepares one to assume the mantle of
leader of the free world and CEO of the worlds largest economy. I believe
that the best I can do is look for the man with the best judgment whose
views most closely match my own. A track record of some type doesn't hurt
either. McCain has generally been good for promoting smaller government,
reducing waste, a strong military, supporting the second amendment, and
promoting life. He's far from perfect as McCain-Feingold, his stance on
immigration,and his having fallen for the anthropogenic global warming scam
has demonstrated. Palin seems to share his good points and, as near as I
can tell, doesn't follow his folly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Barry hasn't much of a record for folks to base
their decision on and what record he has is for an ever expanding government and
wealth redistribution with no end in sight. Biden seems to think that the big
O's world view is just ducky. Yes, he has more Washington inside the beltway
experience than Palin but what good is that if you are consistently wrong
on the majority of the issues?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To me the larger risk is that should BHO/Biden be
elected they will, like Bubba & Big Al, be soft on terrorism
and neglect the military. He will appoint supreme court judges that can
find the darnedest things when they read the constitution. He will tax whatever
prosperity our nation has right down the crapper and will do all that's in his
power to compromise our standing as number one nation on the
planet.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Gary,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you wish to believe that Palin is ready to be president, that is
your right and your vote to cast. But I think a vote for McCain/Palin is
a bigger risk for the country than Obama/Biden.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think Obama is the best choice for this nation at this point in
time, for various reasons.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will be voting Obama for President, and Republican most
the way down the rest of the ballot. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>Palin</SPAN> has zero foreign policy experience.
She has no authority as a governor to conduct international
treaties or regulate international commerce. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Obama is not much more experienced than Palin. But Obama
is a genius, has a JD degree from Harvard, and degree from
Columbia. He is an expert on the constitution,
international law, and has been able to do something that no
other person has, politically defeat the Clintons in an
election. Other countries love Obama, they have never even
heard of Palin. Obama commands crowds ten times the size of
the town Palin governed. How long someone has sat in a chair
or held a position is not the skill set needed to be
President. Leadership is the most important aspect of a
President, and <SPAN>Obama</SPAN> has that in spades. </DIV>

My mistake on your European heritage. From a correspondence a year
or so ago, I had been led to believe that you transmigrated from
Europe to US. You have made several references to how much you
prefer Europe to the US. It does make me wonder, if you love the UK
so much, why are you here?
