now, I know why there's so much commotions about Sarah Palin! Because Obama, compared to MCcain in achievements, experiences, character & personality, roots & background, performances in Washington, Obama will never measure up to MCcain. So what if MCcain is 73 yr old? Don't you know that if life begins at 40... wisdom starts at 70? Obama's life is still at baby's stage.Of course I am sure he is much wiser now compared to 15 yrs ago, when his choice of associations was something he himself would want to forget and erase. So therefore, Obama's groups divert these truths by focusing people's attention to Sarah Palin. Unfortunately, Sarah Palin's record performances are still above Obama's.Perhaps two presidential elections after this 2008 election, Obama will be more ready.
