"One of us?"

I read a post on an msnbc blog that says: "We don't want any more of the "experts" in charge... We want one of us to go up there and tell it like it is."

Why do you think it is that people think governing the country can be done by just any old person, with or without skills and experience? I wonder, do these people go to "one of us" when they need brain surgery? Or when they need someone to fix their plumbing?

It is my own opinion that, although experience is not necessarily a guarantee of good judgment (look at Rumsfeld), I'd feel much safer with a Harvard law graduate with Senate experience in the White House than a gun toting woman whose foreign affairs experience is "Alaska is next door to Russia"

Whom are you voting for?

Are you voting for Obama? Ron Paul? Ralph Nader? Are you so turned off by the events of the last few weeks that you're not voting at all? Or has the selection of Sarah Palin made you more determined to vote Democratic?

premamudita says: "If Obama doesn't find a way to emotionally educate voters, once again the Democrats' energy will be spent being bewildered by those who are hurt by Republicans - voting Republican!!!

We as Democrats need to wake up and come up with strategic ways to positively enhance the ethical platforms we embrace.

Attacking another that someone believes in simply isn't effective -

I'm mystified - what works?"

Well, ladies, what works?

Sarah Palin a MILF?

McCain's Campaign Tactics

In the New York Times, Paul Krugman writes that "the McCain campaign keeps making assertions that anyone with an Internet connection can disprove in a minute, and repeating these assertions over and over again...[H]ow a politician campaigns tells you a lot about how he or she would govern."

Do you agree?

Should Obama have chosen Hillary?

Would things be different now if Obama had chosen Clinton to run as VP, or would the Republicans just have come up with a different counter strategy? Do you vote based on gender or policies?

Just like us?

Sarah is not just any old female candidate. She's just like us...Smart, hardworking, great mom, great wife, educated but not TOO elite... loves the outdoors.

Do you think Sarah Palin is just like us? Do you want a candidate who's just like us or better than us? I personally know I'm not qualified to be president, although I've got more volunteer experience and a better education. What's your view?
