Ebbie-

Nice summary.

It is useful to do one's homework.

I do assume that the Democratic Presidential Primary campaign has tested Obama and his team adequately so that they can more than defend themselves against McCain and Palin. And I would expect them to do more than that, mobilize a frontal assault and take no prisoners.

Oh, by the way McCain retired from the Navy as a captain in 1981. It is an honorable rank but hardly one which would qualify him as a major military administrator; I was taught that generals or admirals do that kind of work.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
