Talking Points Memohttp://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/191401.php [Talking Points Memo] Your original point was correct, John McCain is clueless when it comes to the economy or the experiences of ordinary people who work for a living. His only working experiences were as a pilot in the Navy and as a member of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

MyDDhttp://www.mydd.com/story/2008/4/8/224320/9587 [MyDD] NPR Can't Be This Clueless Re Double Standards - Can They?: CLINTON: That I have the strength and experience of a lifetime and of a unique perspective being on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to hit the ground running, to be commander in chief, to be a good steward of the economy in the face of a recession, and that I am very ready and able to defeat John McCain. So if you're looking for who would be the best president and you're looking for who would be the best nominee to actually win in November, I believe that I am the person most likely to accomplish that.

Obamanomics: Restoring Faith and Currencyhttp://obamanomics.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/obama-consensus-vs-mccainclinton-military-force/ [Obamanomics: Restoring Faith and Currency] Obama Consensus Vs. McCain/Clinton Military Force: In order to accomplish this, U.S. leaders must guide the country back on track toward production, rather than perceived “productivity” and purchasing power rather than perceived “corporate earnings.” Rather than the old methods of brute force, Obama’s message of consensus will do more to stabilize our economy and foreign affairs than any of the proposals of his opponents or prospective opponents. Far from being in the clouds, Barack Obama, reflecting his experience at ground level on the streets of Chicago, understands the true dynamics of achievement, especially when it comes to peace and prosperity.

36 Chambers - The Legendary Journeyshttp://36chambers.wordpress.com/2008/02/07/romney-out-mccain-wins/ [36 Chambers - The Legendary Journeys] Romney Out; McCain Wins: Given this, McCain had an advantage coming in:  despite his kick-conservatives-in-the-teeth style, none of the other candidates really had either establishment support or a record of broad-based conservatism and strong, energetic conservative support*.  Had Giuliani been pro-life, Romney a bit more consistently conservative, or Huckabee less clueless on foreign and economic policy (and less of a big-government nanny), one of those three candidates could potentially have unified conservatives against McCain like Bush in 2000.  But because no other candidate could really rally conservatives, McCain had the default, “I’ve been here longer” Republican advantage and was able to get a lot of establishment support.  In a split party, that can be enough to win.

However, what you may not see is that these people’s children may well be smart professionals in the city, sending home ever increasing paychecks to their family.
