Johnny Boy, We Hardly Knew Ye...

An emailed comment made an interesting point about the two candidate's acceptance speeches. After analyzing content, he ended up with about 50% of McCain's sentences focussed on himself, and 43% on the state of the country, policy proposals, etc. He counted 14% of Obama's sentences as being about himself and those included all sentences about his wife and Joe Biden. The remaining 86% was about the country, his plans, and so forth.

Although hardly surprising.

So much for eliminating the "me first, country second" climate in Washington.

Yes. She is knowledgable and has already established good relations with foreign heads of state.
0%
No. Nothing against Hillary, but Bill is a loose canon and would be a constant distraction and/or embarrassment.
50%
Yes. We get two for one: a former President and a knowledgable Secretary of State.
0%
No. Her judgment is flawed, as demonstrated by her vote for the Iraq War.
