Don't you think that McCain is the Republican candidate because the really good choices of Republicans wouldn't think of competing for this election because they saw it as a likely landslide for the democrats?

I've been hearing the "experience" argument against Obama. Listen, he's not 22. And he's brilliant. A tired old guy, past the manditory retirement age for every academic institution, or a brilliant young lawyer/senator? Plus, you don't do the job by yourself. He will have an experienced team.
