So far it appears that the sum total of Palin's foreign affairs world view is that the Iraq war is "God's work".<BR/><BR/>I'm not defending either Obama or Biden but both candidates appear a great deal more serious and knowledgeable than Palin.<BR/><BR/>As for McCain the maverick, I'm afraid that guy has died and we now have a rather more orthodox, and less interesting figure.James Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00418770297192706019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-6414493781621186442008-09-03T12:58:00.000+01:002008-09-03T12:58:00.000+01:00Mr Schneider, do you know what a governor does on ...Mr Schneider, do you know what a governor does on a daily basis? They have to -- run the state. They command their national guards, they sign/veto legislation, they make executive decisions. Sound familiar to another job?<BR/><BR/>This is probably why the 4 of the last 5 presidents have been governors (Bush II, Clinton, Reagan, Carter).<BR/><BR/>What has Joe Biden done? Plagiarise papers at Syracuse? Make racist remarks against Indians? Proudly declare Delaware a "slava state"?<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry. Having worked with the US Congress for many years, I know what they do -- become a human gas bag. Just because they travel around the world as their job doesn't make them qualified. Otherwise Bono would be Taoiseach and Peter Gabriel would be in Number 10.<BR/><BR/>And what does Obama have experience on? He has absolutely nothing.<BR/><BR/>And Cicero, I'm astounded you would say such things about McCain's judgements. Scared of a maverick? And you're a LibDem?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-21527767909011039212008-09-03T01:06:00.000+01:002008-09-03T01:06:00.000+01:00Doctor, I assume you are taking the piss.

This is heightened when you view foreign policy pronouncements from either side.<BR/><BR/>It has nothing to do with her sex.
