Obama Supporters; What Can We Do About This McCain Has More Experience Deal?
does anybody have a list of uncommitted super delegates or number TO them so that we can call them to express our outrage at Hillary Clinton essentially saying IN PUBLIC that the republican nominee is more experienced and thus, is better qualified to be Commander In Chief?

1. here is the actual quote-what is OK with this Clinton democrats?
"Now I think you will be able to imagine many things Sen. McCain will be able to say. He has never been the president. He will put forth his experience. I will put forth my experience. Sen. Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002."

2. Experience is overrated
People with experience is what has led to ALL the problems our nation currently faces.

Experience really refers to DC insiders, the same types who vote for an illegal war, and voted for the Patriot Act.

It will be relatively easy for Obama to counter the experience rhetoric should McCain try to use it.

3. that's all good and fine Deej
but to have a democratic candidate come out and say the republican nominee is better qualified because of experience is fucking wrong-even if she actually believes that in her heart-you don't come out and SAY IT

5. I agree, Hillary should be forced out of the Party for that
Theres no excuse for that kind of vitriol towards another Democrat.

I was just saying that experience wont be a damaging issue for Obama should McCain try to use it in the GE.

:hi:

4. Vote for Obama
It's a lot of hooey, for starters.

First of all, those who have been inside Washington have made a royal mess of things by playing a grim game of follow the leader. Even by the time the IWR vote was cast, Senator Clinton should have known that the Frat Boy and the Big Dick were not honorable men and that their first and only priority was to invade. Senator Clinton is experienced with bad judgment.

Second, Barack Obama has experience as a community organizer. That is experience that the elite politicians who think they know what is best for the rest of us don't have. It is experience in listening to people and building consensus at the grass roots among the common people. That's quite different thing than building a consensus among well-paid lobbyists. That's the kind of experience we need, and neither Senator Clinton nor Senator McCain have it. I believe that Senator Obama's success as a community organizer speaks better for him as a potential president than Senator Clinton's and Senator McCain's failure to prevent the invasion of Iraq or the erosion of civil liberties speaks for them.

7. I think about the combined years of experience between Cheney and Rumself, for instance
Didn't work out too well. Bill Clinton had no national experience when he ran.
