Bob Kerrey: McCain "Can Deal With Crisis"
By Greg Sargent - August 11, 2008, 9:38AM


Kerrey, Kerrey, Kerrey. With Obama surrogates like these, who needs political opponents?

"John McCain is a known quantity," says Bob Kerrey, who thinks Obama will ultimately prevail. "You don't look at John and say, 'Who the heck is he?' He's a veteran, he's a guy who got pretty banged up in Vietnam. He can deal with crisis. There's some uncertainty about Senator Obama."

Hard to see why any Obama surrogate would be suggesting a link between McCain's war service and his commander-in-chief credentials, isn't it? This is precisely what McCain's argument is.

Indeed, the Republican National Committee just blasted out Kerrey's quote to reporters. GOPers understand how helpful this kind of thing is to them.

As a Nebraskan, I'm glad Kerrey no longer haunts my state. Stay in NY, motherfucker.

Kerrey's the President.

6. where is the proof?

Being a vet doesnt mean you can deal with crisis. I want a proof McCain can deal with crisis.

[FrenchieCat]

8. There is no such proof. One just has to believe based on nothing.

[jefferson_dem]

14. All the more reason for Obama to at least pre-empt his vacation ...

I've started another thread about this and I think as the
crisis escalates, it's important for Obama to SHOW (even
symbolically) that he IS ready to lead, since his surrogates
don't appear to be willing to make the case for him. He
should convene his foreign policy advisers and get briefed
on the political history of the region, how we might ef-
fectively help broker a cease-fire, etc.

Unlike Chimperor -- jaunting from the Olympics back to
his play ranch -- Obama would be seen as someone willing
to put his own vacation aside when world events dictate.
His own behavior would speak volumes -- and go more good
than letting so-called surrogates like Kerrey undermine him.

[gateley]

16. That's kind of a good idea --

although it would open him up to charges of 'acting like he's already won' - that sort of thing.

Maybe the SFRC could call a hurry-up hearing and Obama could come back to attend.

[sandnsea]

19. I have to agree with that

Not to mention it would be helpful for him to tell the other Dems to stop being so damned arrogant about invading sovereign nations when we not only did it, but we won't leave when we've been told to either.

[MadrasT]

15. My ass.

McSame couldn't deal with a flat tire. :banghead:

[gateley]

17. I said it about Feingold and I'll say it about Kerrey - there is NO JUSTIFICATION

for a Democrat praising the Republican nominee.

:grr: :spank:

[yardwork]

20. WTF?!!!!

[Phx_Dem]

21. Not too surprising from Bob Kerry.

He's been a dick for quite a while now.
