Young is not synonymous with ignorance. We've seen how innovation is restricted by holding to outdated ideas. Frankly I'm surprised how educated and experienced managers and business professionals can understand that adapting to change and avoiding a myopic view can be detrimental to their organizations, but can't apply the same approach to government and politics. A definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A definition of republicans: Choosing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. There are certainly generational issues and disagreements here.

Is she fit to run the white house alongside of him? If so then what does experience have to do with it.democrat for life i would like someone to ask senator mccain why he stays on the topic of senator obama not having enough experience when governon sarah palin is younger than senator obama and has less experience.

Our sheer numbers at the polls will almost make an Obama victory a certainty. Post up registering links on blogs, emails, myspace, facebook, friendster, and tell everyone to vote! This election is too important to lose to another Republican more out of touch with the younger generation than ever before! http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/north-dakota-who/#comment-557623 Young democrats, please spread the word.

Blind stubbornness is not a substitute for wisdom. But Sen. McCain and his "Palin Possie" are much too stubborn to realize that. PEACE to us all.

How about Don't Ask, don't tell? Since he is still fighting the Vietnam War that ended in 1975, maybe it seems irrelevant to him. As for He's "pro-country" not just a Republican, do we always support the "country's" decision, or more accurately the President's decision to wage an illegal war? That's the real parallel between Iraq and Vietnam. McCain supports all wars, it seems, legal or otherwise. Does he really believe that we honor those who have died by adding more of their buddies to the list? I am wearing a tee shirt that says: John McCain Is Not My Drug of Choice google it Phil Ochs, an old folkie reminded us, "it's always the old who lead us to the war, always the young who die!"

And of course for the free Starbucks as well. I would love to get one of these cards just so I could take a picture at the polls holding one with a thumbs up.
