Re: Oh, c'mon
Date: 2008-07-31 05:00 pm (UTC)One of the reasons I've been so consistently disappointed with the candidates presented to me is that they aren't as competent as they'd like us to believe. Wonks like Clinton, Gore, Huckabee (yes, the man is obviously a wonk) and Obama do have these figure available to them. When people ask them questions at town hall meetings, they have clear and concise answers. It's not just that they were at their height of their intellectual acuity: it's that they actually knew, and cared. (Note I don't put Kerry into that category).
I mean, c'mon yourself, McCain has been "caught," if you will, rolling his eyes and panicking when asked questions about women's health issues, net neutrality, and the conflict on the Pakistan-Iraq border.
He clearly doesn't speak even with his own authority. I don't know that I should be ashamed to point that out.
