p> FLAWED McCAIN br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Tough Leadership : /p>

John McCain suffers several deficiencies in the eyes of conservatives like myself. That said, the choice between him and Obama is a no-brainer. It is good that Mr. Tyrrell reminds us of McCain's unwavering devotion to country and past demonstrations of leadership.

Aside from the candidates' biographies, there's also the matter of maturity. McCain understands he is running for president. Obama thinks he is running for God. Politicians in the second category, when they attain power, have a nasty habit of leaving widespread human suffering in their infallible wake. Obama's corps of swooners have not studied history.

Mr. Tyrrell extols the management capability of the Republican nominee. One must look for a silver lining whenever possible I suppose. However, I am still trying to come down off the ceiling after hearing about the Senator's appearance of the "Today" show.

Let me sum up. Global warming is real. We shall never drill in a pristine wildlife area for oil (about one half of one percent of an Artic wasteland), and gasoline prices will go higher. Don't you know you morons have to put solar and wind power in your gas tanks?
