Reply #25: Here is my take...

[Blackhatjack]

Obama is not a bad choice because of inexperience on 'foreign policy.' However, Obama does not have alot of experience in that role, just like Edwards. Although Edwards did travel extensively in Europe and other countries over the last 4 years meeting world leaders and officials --so he has a lot more knowledge and experience than he did in 2004.

My comments were directed mainly at balancing the ticket for maximum electoral impact. I did not mean for my comments to be a slam on Obama.

However, here is the rub .... IF Rudy Giuliani is the Repub nominee, it will 911 and foreign policy all the time during the General Election.

If Romney is the Repub Nominee, different story.

I still don't see a winning candidate on the Repub side, and their nominee may not be decided until their Convention is held.
