Except publications have nothing to do with being an editor in chief of a law review. To get on the review, you need to be at the top of your class. To be selected as the EiC, you have to be quite exceptional.

He has no such track record. A block of granite could have brought republicans and democrats together on that issue.

Barak is nothing but a partisan idiot. He’d have had your vote if he was a frog, Ziggy.

… amazingly, Barak Obama has not published works to point to as to why he achieved this honor. Me thinks the color of his skin, not the content of his ideas elevated him to this position.

How again is the polling numbers at all relevant to this discussion? Are you actually arguing people like him so he must be qualified? Are you in high school voting for prom king or picking a president?

Surly tried to paint Obama as unqualified. Numerous posters have been explicit about what qualifies him and yet no one yet here has been able to point to a single reason McCain is uniquely qualified over Obama.

Who are you describing: John Kerry or John McCain? Must be John McCain who traded up a wife with physical disabilites for a billionairess. Must be John McCain who doesn’t own the seven houses he lives in worth untold millions – one of which they “forgot” to pay property taxes on. Must be John McCain who grabs Boy Blunder so (cheney)in’ tight, Michele Bachmann is jealous. Must be John McCain who used his wife’s fortune to finance his presidential campaign.

It’s pretty amazing what a hypocritical bootlickin’ ass you can be, Chris.

Remind me again how much Obama raked in last year?

Just one.

You said one thing and the constitutional answer is 35 and born here. The platitude answer is Got into public service to help those who are seen as the least among us. He valued that calling over financial success, and has stuck with it. Nothing in his public life shows him to be different. Now, for the purposes of this award winning blog, here’s your specific laundry list.

* Senator Obama’s successfully fought for children’s health care in Illinois.
* His success bringing Republicans and Democrats together (a huge selling point for me in general) on bills such as the one in Illinois requiring police interrogations and confessions to be videotaped.
* His leadership on ethics reform in Washington (the bill that lobbyists and special interests are complaining about right now has his name on it).
* His bill to make the federal budget far more transparent and accessible to Americans via the Internet — we could use that openness in Texas.
* And his vital work with Republicans to lock down nuclear weapons around the world.

Now are you going to penalize me for not listing a single thing?

If McCain is so bad, why has he been tied with Obama, or even ahead, in the road to this royal coronation? I love how you partisan hacks arrogantly make personal attacks against McCain while your candidate can’t even break 50% in the national polls. If the country was as bad as you and Zeus in his Roman Temple make it out to be, why isn’t he creaming McCain in the polls?

Who are you describing: John Kerry or John McCain? Must be John Kerry who traded up a wife with mental ilness for a billionairess. Must be John Kerry who doesn’t own the five houses he lives in worth $29 million. Must be John Kerry who sat next to the stage during Joe Biden’s speech and whose billionairess wife sat next to Michelle Obama the same night. Must be John Kerry who used his wife’s money to finance his presidential campaign. It’s pretty amazing what an ass you can be Two Putz.

He’s a cad that married into money – which is a good thing ’cause he spent all his on booze and strippers.

He’s a fine example of a candidate from the “Family Values” party; the party that has lots of families because of all the divorces they have. And McCain’s “values” have to do with the dough of the chick he married. McCain doesn’t know how many houses he owns, because most of ‘em are in his wife’s name – after all, SHE is the one with the dough.

Of all the presidential candidates the GreedOverPrinciples party foisted on the American Electorate, the only republiCon candidate that was only married once was the Mormon.

Go figure.

What uniquely qualifies him over Obama? The fact that he’s accumulated more houses than he can remember? The fact that he can lose his temper among his caucus? That he can ride a bus? That he’s figured out how to be on the government payroll since the age of 18?

How again is that?

Becoming the editor in chief of the Harvard Law Review is a remarkable accomplishment — to be the first black to do it, and, to it coming from a background where your family was on food stamps not only is an incredible accomplishment, it demonstrates an incredible level of raw intellect.

Your first paragraph translates to “I find him dreamy”. He “worked with the poor”? Seriously?

Let me ask you something. How many times did you used to try to convince people how open minded you were by claiming, “I’m not saying I always vote Democrat, I’d vote for John McCain!”

Obama said when you don’t have anything to run on you paint your opponent as someone to run from. After listening to 17 minutes of negative attacks on Senator McCain, I conclude that Obama doesn’t have anything to run on.

Which one, Coleman or Franken?

I guess I’ll wait for Michael to post it on MDE. I’m surprised he hasn’t yet.

Now, how about YOU answer the question. What the hell has McCain done that uniquely qualifies him over Obama? He’s old? He’s had cancer? He was able to make nice with the wife he cheated on?

One accomplishment. That’s all I’m asking for.

As for the individual posts on this board, you are all incredible. What has John McCain done substantively more that prepares him to be president? Get shot down? Hang out in the Senate? Marry a rich chick?

Just one.

once the drive-bys get done going ga-ga over the speech and voters actually start analyzing he has said nothing more than platitudes again and again, mccain probably wins presidency.

Seriously though, Barak talks a good game. But that’s about all he’s got… talk. He’s never accomplished anything resembling what he’s talking about.

Ugh.
