Our own candidate, HRC, has endorsed John McCain. If she wins I have to vote most qualified.

[thunder rising]

I don't want to, but if Clinton says he's better qualified what choice to I have?

Clinton was actually even more brazen than Lieberman. Not only did she lie about her record, she actually went on the offensive attacking Obama over the very trade deal she has long championed, "rais doubts about whether he was committed to reworking NAFTA," as the AP noted. To use the Lieberman-Lamont analogy, that's would be like Lieberman not only pretending to be against the war, but actually attacking Lamont for not opposing the war more strongly. Even Lieberman wasn't cravenly dishonest enough to do that - but Clinton was.

Hillary Clinton no longer a Dem, it's time she learned the Zell Miller rule.

1. She has not endorsed McCain - she's only said the truth that people see him as qualified to be CinC

4. She's not 'our' candidate.

I think you'll find that there are quite a few people here who'd argue with that terminology.

5. I say McCain has better credentials, that doesn't mean he will be a better President

I will make this simple. I think Obama will make a better President than McCain but I think McCain makes a better candidate than Obama. I think McCain's credentials make it easier for him to win over undecided voters than do Obama's credentials. I do not think McCain is more qualified to be President than Obama, I think his surface credentials are more impressive and that puts us at a strategic disadvantage in the General Election if Obama is our candidate.

Do does that mean I just endorsed McCain for President?

Obama's "credentials" are the main reason why I don't back him in the primaries. That is the honest truth, and if I feel that way I know that others do also. However I would much rather support someone with good instincts and little seasoning than someone with a decades long resume who is on the wrong on the issues. I know McCain sees the world in ways that will lead him to make choices I disapprove of, so I will not support him no matter what his credentials are.

But since Democrats first started debating our potential candidates, I have known Obama would not be my preferred candidate because his "credentials" in my opinion are weak. I have said that repeatedly on this board and elsewhere, and it is fine with me that others disagree with that, it still is my opinion. And it is a reason why I have argued against voting for Obama in the primaries. It is a reason Clinton gives also for not voting for Obama in the primaries.

McCain will be quite capable all on his own of pointing out the experience gap between him and Obama. It can't be countered on the basis of any argument based on experience. It can only be countered on the basis of policies advocated and comparitive judgment.
