39. There are some similarites between Bush and Obama
on the experience front. He is unlike him in many other ways of course. Thankfully.

However - he does not have the experience nor depth I would like to see

but he will overcome it.

43. ding ding ding. we have a winner.
exactly right. i can't believe that so few people have figured out that the constant repetition of questions is a way to implant doubts and ideas. the answer is always staring them in the face. they are just too ??? think it through. sigh.

9. Certainly one of his weakest points -- he would get nailed with it
repeatedly by the right-wing.

10. Experience? They can vote for more war and misery, or they can vote for a better future
Experience sure didn't get the Chimp into office.

12. Just because they say it, doesn't make it so.
This year I've noticed the polls are off quite a bit.

Perhaps the polls are reflecting some people's negative intents, or the dynamics have changed in a way that the pollsters havn't anticipated.

My gut tells me the cable news polls are to be trusted the least.

for reminding us of that. And I look forward to President Mccain. He's got enough experience. And so did LBJ and Hitler and James Buchanan (the worst President of our nation) :sarcasm:

27. The poll surveyed 1,019 adult Americans on March 14-16
Majority of Americans -- 56 percent-- say Obama will be able to bring about change
50 percent said they'd be proud to have McCain as president
Obama is the only candidate who a majority say doesn't have the right experience

37. Bush's platform
that he ran on was also change. Boy did he ever keep that promise. Of course he didn't say what kind of change. Also Bush also didn't have much experience, and look where we are today.

They are shilling for Clinton. Obama was correct. These are networks who want to keep doing the same thing.
