John McCain

Posted by maxmccauley on 01-24-2008 in Who should be elected President of the United States in 2008?

I am a conservative-leaning independent so I do not necessarily vote by party identification, although in this election I will be supporting one of the Republican candidates. John McCain is by far the most experienced out of all the candidates running. He truly understands the complexities of foreign affairs and has personal relationships with many of the people running the countries around the world. I like Barack Obama and would support him against a few of the Republican candidates, but his lack of experience is truly his downfall. He has only been a Senator for what, a few years? Obama will be a good choice for President in a decade or so but he is simply too young and inexperienced to face the challenges that the country is presented with in 2008.

By the way, I find it fascinating that McCain isn't even listed as someone I can support on this debate although he is currently, in most people's minds, the Republican front runner. Quite the oversight!

edit: John McCain has been added to the list of candidates, thanks! :)
