Commander in Chief
Insane war mongers with a bad temper that scares some military leaders (and Republican senators), who walk down a market in Baghdad with 100 soldiers and blackhawks overhead and says that things are going great in Iraq, and sings funny songs about bombing Iran, is not fit to be Commander In Chief?

Does Hillary Clinton not understand this?

2. While throwing the Dem who may very well be the nominee under the bus now.
Thus proving once again how unbelievably self-serving the Clintons are.

3. I can understand you feel that way w/a vulnerable candidate. But
that's why I began supporting HRC eight years ago.

4. Okay, you do know the math is not in her favor don't you?
She has to get 60% in all the upcoming races (not likely) to even tie Obama in pledged delegates. He has picked up a few more SDs since Tuesday and she's gotten none that I know of. Her only chance is to take it to the Convention and fracture the party.

And you admire this. :crazy:

6. I'm not afraid of a convention. Been to national conventions for other
organizations and they can be a hoot. Even stood for national office - lost, then won.

Admire it? Nope ... it's like making sausage. But I admire my candidate.

5. commander in chief
McCain served in the military with the presumed headstart of having both a father and a grandfather who were Admirals. After 23 years he retired as a Captain to take a public relations position for his father-in-law's beer distributorship. He has clearly demonstrated his mediocrity in military affairs. If there is a room full of brass and John McCain preparing to make an important military decision, McCain is the last person in that room I want to have the final say.

I also think the importance of the "commander in chief" test is vastly over-rated by both the American media and the American public. Hillary's willingness to legitimize the c-i-c test is cynical and ultimately foolish. Prior to her 3 o'clock in the morning campaign, I preferred her to Obama. No more.
