Don't necessarily consider the fact that someone in the military is the best qualified candidate. After spending over 20+ years around the AF, I would guarantee that serving in the military even in a combat zone does not qualify one to be Governor or any other office. In fact, some people I have known in the military are the least qualified.

Somehow flying a plane even as a member of the National Guard takes a lot of skill and they could have been called into combat but the mission of that wing was to protect our borders.

How about the fact that McBride is a trial lawyer and never tried a case? Ever wonder about that? I did until I heard his rhetoric in the debate -- he would have lost every case.

I don't have favorite in the Governors race. However, it is amazing to witness the hypocracy of those who do.

I think you have gotten disoriented with your attempt to tie a US Marine combat veteran to the draft dodging clinton, and you are marching backards. There are a lot more brave US Marines that will soon be going into combat. They deserve a better future than to be compared to bill clinton when they are no longer useful to your political agenda.
