I'll grant you the point for it is a genuinely correct one but I think the problem is that we don't know who will make up the team. We are voting for the coach, not the team. The coach sets the direction. McCain's foreign policy vision seems fuzzy. I want to know specifically what he intends to do about Iraq, Afghanistan, the Russians, etc. He has already said he is ignorant about economics. Palin is also presumably ignorant about economics on a national scale.

The keys to good foreign policy is a clear vision, a strong will and a great team. all this talk about the presidency not being the place for on the job training...when she is NOT running for the presidency....obama is, and as has been demonstrated he is the least experienced candidate running for the presidency in a century... and btw, one thing i learned over the years in making hiring decisions, once you narrow your applicants down based on basic job qualification requirements, you pick the person with the best attitude and character (you have to rely on your gut instinct when interviewing to determine this), understanding that an intelligent, well motivated person can learn the ropes, but you cannot 'teach' attitude and character the only person we ever had to fire was an individual who we hired despite the 'gut-check' wrt 'attitude' because he had 'experience' big mistake
