Good grief. You missed the point: McCain can now claim that his concern about Obama in regards to crisis management is suspect and remind voters that even one of the leading Democratic contenders agrees with him. |
I didn't miss the point, I disagreed with it. McCain doesn't need Hillary's help in making that case; it would be made in the general anyway. By the time November rolls around, Hillary will have endorsed Obama and said various nice things about his potential ability to function as C-in-C.

As opposed to all other professional politicans and Presidential candidates, who are into losing gracefully and have unimpeachable ethics.  |

What's your excuse for being obtuse?

Hmmm...I think I was being pedantic, not obtuse. My point was very clear. However, it would seem by your admission that you are not up to multitasking.
BTW, as I've mentioned before, but for purposes of your future attempts at insults I will mention again, I don't work in a hagwon. I only did that for 6 months out of my 12+ years here. My students are trained killers and carry guns when not at school. I did work with post-docs for a time, not all of whom Xeroxed their thesis. |

Many studies have shown that women are able to multitask while most men cannot. So you must have some of those womyn genes.

So what you're sayng is that you didn't have time to master the pedagogical aspects of playing CandyLand. I got it now.

Uh, yeah, ya did. The point was that by questioning Obama's readiness to be C-in-C, Hillary did not force McCain to raise this doubt and making it a talking point.
More importantly, by being the first to raise the point, Hillary, a fellow Democrat, gives it an air of legitimacy. So it won't be so easy for the Obama camp to dismiss the charge outright when McCain echoes her sentiments.
Got it now? Good. Quiz tomorrow. |
