Johnn is right. The economy has grown faster under Democrats and the smaller Republican growth has favored only those at the top. The economy has, for example, officially grown under George Bush. But not for 80 per cent of Americans. Their incomes (when adjusted for inflation) have actually gone down in the last seven years. The Democrats promise to bring back the policies that have been so successful and actually improve on their own game. Let's face it, McCain can't afford to go before the American people and describe what it really plans to do on economic and foreign policy, so he has to bring up issues that hide the truth. I did worry for awhile that Obama would not have the experience to deliver on the policies he plans to pursue, but his choice of an experienced hand like Biden has convinced me that an Obama administration will be enormously successful. One thing for sure, McCain will not be successful in pursuing the policies we need because he doesn't favor those policies, and his "experience" will just give him the ability to stop real progress.

This is a phony issue that McBush has raised to keep people from noticing that he want to continue to support tax policies and regulatory policies and labor policies and health policies and education policies that favor the rich and penalize the average American. Here's the bottom line: Since World War II, the economy has grown almost twice as fast under Democratic Presidents as it has under GOP Presidents. Furthermore, the smaller growth under the Republicans has been concentrated in fewer hands. Or to put it another way, the economy has grown faster under Democrats because Democrats have supported opportunities for everyone while Republicans have supported growing concentrations of wealth in the hands of the few. So which do you want, slower economic growth and growth that benefits those at the top while often leaving out those at the bottom, or a healthy economy in which everyone benefits.

Jonathan, you are either lying to yourself, believing the lies of others, or are ignorant to the situation.
In case you haven't heard, the McCain campaign's only line of attack on Obama had been his lack of experience relative to McCain. By the same standards of administrative experience, McCain has less experience than Palin too.
So I'll have to disagree with you on this one. This video definitely does show pwnage.
This is funny. Why? Well, how much did he actually do in the State legislature? Not a whole lot. That's great he taught constitutional law, he sure doesn't apply it to his policies. If he did, he'd be more in line with Ron Paul. Things like smaller government, less taxes, etc.
The biggest issue right now is that the Dem's are grappling for something to deflate the Palin factor, so they attack her for her supposed lack of experience. What the Republican's are saying about Obama's lack of experience are simply a result to Obama's campaign attacking Palin first, who on the contrary actually has had much more administrative experience than Obama. So, without sounding too childish, the Obama campaign started it first by attacking Palin's qualifications. Last I checked, she was running as VP and HE was running as President. Little bit of a difference there.
So I'll have to disagree with you on this one. This video definitely does not show pwnage.
