I welcome the discussion of who to trust in a time of crisis. Surely, it's not McRiskyEratic.

I recall this little ditty from the ABC/WaPo poll last week --

McCain's efforts to portray Obama as a risky choice do not appear to have worked, either. In fact, voters are likelier to describe the Republican candidate that way, and although 29 percent said they consider Obama a "very safe" choice for president, 18 percent said the same for McCain. Voters were evenly divided on the question of whether McCain is safe or risky; 55 percent said Obama is safe, while 45 percent described the Democrat as risky.

2. I would certainly welcome such a discussion, especially with some

of my repub fundie in-laws who have never been involved in anything life-threatening. I think the tale of McCan't in the ready room of the USS Forrestal watching the fire on the closed circuit teevee would be fun to talk about. I've been on ships on fire, and there is usually no shortage of volunteers to work on putting it out - if your house burns down in the middle of an ocean, there is no other place to go.

I want someone in charge of my future who presents an air of calm and reassurance, not one who presents, well, what McCan't presents. I'm really close to his age, and frankly, he's scary - especially with the moose lady as his assistant.

edited because I failed to use spell check the first time
