Reply #38: You repeat a common refrain

but I'm not sure what it means. Tested by what? I'm willing to bet he scored high on his SATs and LSATs. Let's see, he's been tested in 46 primaries and caucuses and has won 31 of them. His ability to raise money for a campaign has been tested, and proved superior to every other candidate. He's been tested and delivered on his promise to forgo money from registered lobbyists. He's been tested on his ability to withstand racially tinged attacks by his Democratic opponent. I'm even willing to bet that he's passed a driver's test, would pass a test measuring competence in pumping gasoline, and would surely ace an examination crafted to ascertain one's ability to dispense coffee from a convenience store coffee machine.

So please, tell me, why you claim he hasn't been tested, and what kind of test you'd like to subject him to. Maybe exercising sound judgment about going to war in Iraq? Or is it that you want to see how he would hold up under sniper fire?
