The problem with the Democratic nominee is that he has no executive experience and is the product of a political machine (i.e., the corrupt Chicago Democratic political machine.) The problem with the Republican slate now is that the candidate likely to still be alive 4 years from now (i.e., Palin) is also the product of a political machine (i.e., the Republican presidential campaign) and has no more real executive experience than Obama ... albeit at least it's not corrupt experience.

Not the day-to-day fluctuations in prices - I am looking long term decades ahead, and I see it as a looming crisis in the same way that the housing crisis was foretold by many people years ago, and is potentially far more serious.<BR/><BR/>If you study the issue enough, it brings in all kinds of other potential issues that on the surface might seem to be unrelated. I don't want to try and write a book here, but there are oftentimes good discussions at http://www.theoildrum.com.<BR/><BR/>In terms of energy, McCain's position is really just pandering. Pretty much guaranteed to not have any chance of success, and yet to the average Joe on the street it sounds good.<BR/><BR/>With many issues, real life is far more complicated and nuanced than can be expressed in a sound bite. My own view is that I don't see any easy answers, and the public is looking for easy answers. I suppose that with recent decreases in oil prices that the public is less focused on the issue - for the time being anyways.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317858463978974538noreply@blogger.com
