"I know having McCain be President will suck, which is why I opposed him in the primaries. But I also know he is actually qualified for the job and his opponents aren't qualified to be dogcatchers."

This election sucks because there is a good chance that one of the three people running will be President. McCain's military favorable positions make him qualified to be a supporter of the military, but beyond that? I guess we'll find out, be sure has disappointed many of us as a Senator. Makes me wonder what being qualified actually means in 2008.

Let's say there are ten most important issues the next president needs to address. What his supporters are saying is that the other two potentials get all 10 wrong but McCain gets one thing right, but nine things wrong, so he's qualified. As logic goes, that's pretty thin.

First, we're talking more like six things, not one.

Second, when I use the word qualified, I'm not talking about ideology, I'm talking resume. Now for sure McCain is closer to we conservatives ideologically than HillObama, but on an experience level the two Dems wouldn't have any business in the Oval Office even if they were rock-ribbed conservatives. They have accomplished exactly nothing that qualifies them; Obama hasn't even had to win a real campaign to get any of the offices he's held.

On ideology McCain is the much lesser of two evils. On resume he is like Brett Favre standing next to Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
