Congratulations on your 72nd birthday. For a man your age and the torture you went through in Vietnam you are in remarkably good condition. You have served our nation well and everyone honors that fact. However, just because you were a POW and have been in the Senate for 14 years does not qualify you to be president of the United States.
I will not review your voting record here. I do question your wisdom and judgment when you select a totally unknown person to be your running mate in this election. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been in office for just two years and prior to that was the mayor of a small town that is unknown to most of America. In addition she already has questionable record. I am adding this interesting Alaskan perspective about Sarah Palin.
The job of president is extraordinarily difficult. Given your age I would have expected you to nominate a vice president who is qualified to handle that position with ease if you become incapacitated. Selecting a vice president is your first decision and your choice was not in the best interest of this country. It was a political choice and not one for the good of America. Gov. Sarah Palin is a very poor choice!
There are many other reasons that I could identify for not supporting you but your nomination for Vice President answers the question of my choice.
I am wholeheartedly supporting Barack Obama for President.
