Voter's Choice: Choose Wisely

I hear people say they can "relate" to McCain and Palin. They talk "ordinary" and seem like the kind of people you could get to know.

Now, while that's an admirable quality, is that really who you want running your country? Some good old boy or girl who might be nice and ordinary but might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer?

I believe we got that kind the last two times we voted for president, and what pray tell did it get us? In bankruptcy, debt up to our ears, tied up in a war we never should have started, and not any safer than we were when we started, possibly much less safer....

Personally, I'd rather have the Harvard graduate running my country...someone with brains and skill...someone who can speak with the upper crust of other countries and have them actually hear us instead of make fun of us...someone who's smart enough to know what he does NOT know and who finds the appropriate people to give him that missing information.

Yes, give me a man with a real brain and education, and oh yeah--make the vice president somebody who at least knows the political ropes and could run my country better than a cover girl from the backwoods, please!
