We are a day away from Super Tuesday. If you are thinking about voting for Barack Obama, consider whether he is the best candidate to go toe to toe with John McCain in the Fall election. Let's look at the attack line that McCain would undoubtedly use against an Obama candidacy.

Consider:

What is Senator Obama going to say when Senator McCain asks him why he is in favor of granting drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants as Obama has admitted at least twice in Democratic debates?

What will Senator Obama say when Senator McCain cites Obama's present position that undocumented workers will not be covered in his health care proposal, yet when he was running for the Senate he said that children of undocumented workers should get the same health care benefits that citizens get?

What is Senator Obama going to say when John McCain starts to ask people to compare Obama's qualifications to be president to McCain's experience? That his years on the Senate Armed Services Committee don't matter?

What is Senator Obama going to say when John McCain begins to ask him about negotiating in unstructured summits with the leaders of Iran, North Korea and Cuba without preconditions?

What will Senator Obama say when Senator McCain asks him why he said in 2004 that he did not know how he would have voted on the Iraq war authorization and that his view of the Iraq war was not different from President Bush's? What will Senator Obama say when Senator McCain compares Obama's votes to fully fund the Iraq War in the Senate to Obama's rhetorical opposition to that war?

What is Senator Obama going to say when Senator McCain questions Obama's claim to be "the most qualified person in America to conduct the foreign policy of the United States"? What is Senator Obama going to say when Senator McCain says that Obama is not one of the most qualified members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to lead this country in today's dangerous world but instead one of the most absent?

What is Senator Obama going to say when Senator McCain points out that Senator Obama has not conducted a single policy hearing as chairman of the subcommittee on European Affairs of the Foreign Relations Committee?

1. Pick me! pick me!

"What is Senator Obama going to say when Senator McCain asks him why he is in favor of granting drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants as Obama has admitted at least twice in Democratic debates?"

Uh...so?

"What will Senator Obama say when Senator McCain cites Obama's present position that undocumented workers will not be covered in his health care proposal, yet when he was running for the Senate he said that children of undocumented workers should get the same health care benefits that citizens get?"

This doesn't even follow. Children of undocumented workers aren't undocumented workers. And they're children. Mccain wouldn't do this or he'd look like a heartless bastard.

"What is Senator Obama going to say when John McCain starts to ask people to compare Obama's qualifications to be president to McCain's experience? That his years on the Senate Armed Services Committee don't matter?"

We see how well that has worked to this point.

"What is Senator Obama going to say when John McCain begins to ask him about negotiating in unstructured summits with the leaders of Iran, North Korea and Cuba without preconditions?"

See answer to question 1.

Obama answered it on CNN today. No preconditions does not mean no planning. However, what the current administration does is force a country to accept all of our demands BEFORE we meet them. That makes the dialogue nothing more than a formality. It is a failed policy and has damaged our image.

2. McCain is going to be too busy...

deflecting accusations from Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain and trying to convince hard core right wing nuts that they are lying to have time to call out Dems on anything.

I LOVE watching Repubs eat their own! :popcorn:

3. Isn't it odd that those are the attacks Hillary has used

and the answer is the exact same one...

Obama is right and the old ways are wrong.

That's the beauty of Barack Obama. He says what he thinks so he doesn't have to change what he says whether he's talking to the left or the right, is in the primary or the GE.
