A few times my eyes glazed over then I realized how grateful it's not Hillary up there. They are both good. McCain does have the edge of experience to call upon and further his point.
I noticed that, and I'll bet a few million others did too. If people were inclilned to vote McCain because of his military background, that will be Obama voters after tonight.
The mortician who has expertise in dressing old people, who applied McBush's makeup also selected the wardrobe.
You are right, McBush does have a lot of experience with military failures (crashing 5 military planes) supporting the Iraq war, being on the losing side of the Vietnam war, abandoning Afghanistan, etc.
