Why "NOT- McCain" ???

Because he has a history of running interference inside. I recently heard him state, after the NYT 's article alleging an affair, that he had never done anything that compromised his integrity!

Huh? He has plenty of instances, does he think the Keating affair didn't happen, or his involvement with it?

What about his wife stealing drugs from charitable organization she was involved in at a high level, and taking them herself, that's illegal and any other citizen would have been slapped in a corrections facility instead of slapped on the wrist. Money, money, money.........she has plenty.

Trying to sell himself as a military expert? There were many Viet Nam prisoners of war that wouldn't say being a prisoner enables them to be C-I-C. His training as a naval pilot doesn't either, in fact for many voters that history predisposes him to not having a reasoned approach to military conflict. And that it would only contribute to an already overinflated DOD budget that is phenomenally wasteful. And he admits that he is short on economic knowledge so there cannot be a case made for improvement over at the Pentagon on that score.

Diplomacy ?----he also has a reputation as a hot head.....why would anyone vote for him?

Has he kept up with technological change........the IT age? His age bodes against that.

Whoever the Democratic nominee is, there should not be a problem defeating him.
