It just concerns me that he is going to (possibly) run the most powerful government in the world (arguably) with 2 years experience in the Federal processes.

I'm not saying Mr. Obama can not do it. I'm saying he will need #1 a great support system (cabinet members and advisers) and #2 a Fast learning curve.

McCain's plans are to further deregulate business, make abortion illegal, deny women equal pay, put everybody into the open market for insurance, privatize social security, attack Iran and Syria, send troops to Georgia, stop talking to Russia, provide massive tax cuts for the rich and a little tax cuts for the bulk of us, and, oh yes, he says we'll probably need to start up the draft again. All this from a man who came in 5th. from the bottom in his class. Because he has stated that there will be no investigation into the Bush administration, we can be assured that he will ignore the constitution just as Bush has done and wield the powers of a dictator. But, I am sure that he can goose step with the party line as well as Bush. He's well known for "losing it", but, if you're comfortable with having someone with an uncontrollable temper having his finger on the button, by all means, vote for McCain.

Whether he'll be able to accomplish anything with the way the congressional races are trending is highly unlikely.
