A new Zogby poll sez that Americans resoundingly would rather have John McCain answer the red phone from our favorite Hillary ad than either Hillary or Obama. How can people be so dumb? Based on McCain's past history (oh, sorry, I meant "experience"), he's as likely to scream "F*** YOU" as to accomplish anything useful. Especially if it's John Cornyn or Charles Grassley calling. If it's Putin calling, we're screwed, because McCain is going to get the nukes launched on us because of his interrupted beauty rest. Lord knows the man needs it, and maybe some Botox too.

Well, the dude does have actual military experience. He's also gotten a relatively free pass so far on his "bomb Iran" and related wankery.
It also shows that Hillary's advisors are nearly braindead for walking face first into a Republican fear meme. In the larger populous, Democrat still equals coward and Republican equals tough protector.
Total crap I know, but that means we need to be smashing that meme head on (likening Iraq-type operations to imperial over-extension that costs blood and treasure) rather than crying "I'm tough too."
For the experience thing, McCain doesn't even have to confront the facts. One "I was in the Hanoi hotel - you were in a comedy troupe with Sinbad" is all it takes.
I'd also argue that with McCain in charge, that red phone would ring a lot more often ...

Hmmm, as far as McCain's mastery of world affairs goes, he still can't quite get the difference between Sunni and Shi'ite. I can't imagine either Obama or Clinton making a mistake like that.

I don't know who I would want to answer the phone. I imagine McCain might be up anyway with his bladder problems and all, so it would be less of an inconvenience. Maybe that's what America thinks too.
