They're not going to come at War Hero McCain saying "Your stay in the Hanoi Hilton doesn't matter!" <BR/><BR/>They're gonna say "Even with your military experience, which we honor thoroughly, your judgment in this matter in particular is incorrect."<BR/><BR/>And spice that up with bits of "Yeah, and your military chops didn't help you avoid voting for the biggest military debacle this side of etc, etc, etc."<BR/><BR/>This is Clark trying on the role of attack dog. I think it fits him pretty well, though a bit of tailoring is needed in his rhetoric. We'll see more of this in the time between now and convention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18926641.post-5324346358492546582008-06-12T06:24:00.000-05:002008-06-12T06:24:00.000-05:00Reread it, Elliott.

This is about the free pass that McCain gets on security issues just because he managed to get captured 40 years ago.grumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641174443445494464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18926641.post-42977006238594179252008-06-12T06:13:00.000-05:002008-06-12T06:13:00.000-05:00Oh, come on, if an ex-prisoner of war is untested ...Oh, come on, if an ex-prisoner of war is untested in military matters, what does that make the Harvard-educated community organizer?<BR/><BR/>Obama may be the better candidate, but I think this is just laughable.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820148729023510413noreply@blogger.com
