i think it is an excellent argument and it is a very legitimate argument and it is true. IMO, McCain needs to make sure every American hears it at least 10 time between now and the election. He really does -- but I think the biggest single argument for voting for McCain has to be, "Obama is not ready for the job". Obama has successfully moved toward the center, in some cases, to the RIGHT, and people who are not watching closes (and some who are) just aren't going to believe how extreme he is. He has insulated himself by not voting on many issues that would have defined him as a liberal. So, his extremism is well-hidden, and many of the pro-Obama voters simply don't know or care that he is extreme. But the "not ready for the job" claim is one that holds water and might cause people to pause and think about it for a minute. Also, everyone but the extreme left is put off by the arrogance, which is substantial.
