I also agree that I want someone running the country who is better than ME! I also believe that the leader of the free world should be a good speaker, and that good speaking is a good barometer (but not always) of intelligence.
McCain is not horrible in those aspects, that's for sure. I just don't see him speaking for "me" whereas Obama is more along the line of my sensibilities.
I'll say it loud and clear in front of the Cellar and FSM and everyone: I WANTED HILLARY!
Let the flames begin.
