I recall when I did outside sales for a Fluid Power distributor our CEO brought in a "partner" to help out with the company. This man had no knowledge of the industry, components we sold, etc... Well things went to hell in a hurry.

We are currently in a state of war and I think that his war record does have alot to consider with this election. He's been there, done that and knows what the troops need in many aspects. A VERY good point would be Obama's plan on leaving a skeleton force behind to protect 100,000 civilian workers, diplomats, Iraqi's that were loyal to us, and our embassy. McCain knows full well how this would develope due to his time in service, training, etc...

"but the point of the thread was that Clark was wrong for questioning why McCain's war record qualified him to be the president."

It was wrong. This is just a part of the presidential puzzle.
What have you done?
Who are your associates?
Do you practice what you preach? I.E. earmarks is a good example
Where has your voting stance been while in office?

The President is the official head of the U.S. military. All the dems know that this issue is BIG considering that we are at war and to belittle his past isn't going to fly well with the voters. I judge this issue as McCain 1....Obama 0. For ANYONE from the DNC to challenge this is a losing proposition.

Have a good one!:s4:
