Why do we have different expectations for picking a president than picking a president? Say I am going to need open heart surgery. Would I pick McCain or Obama. McCain is that old doctor that is stuck in a rut and doesn't know the new tricks of the trade. Nor does he care or think that anyone may have a better idea than him. Obama is the doctor that is been out of college for a short while has some new idea. He is reassuring and I trust him. Palin and Biden. Palin doesn't seem to be reassuring that she even knows  that she is a doctor or what exactly a doctor does but she is fun to talk to. Maybe she stayed the night before at a Holiday Inn Express. She knows the language..You need a heart cath followed by open heart surgery...But don't ask her why. That would be annoying. Biden is the steady hand. The doctor that puts you at ease and everyone has heard of and recommends him for is vast knowledge of how the heart works. The team of Obama/Biden seems to work. That is the team I want.
