First presidential debate tonight is winding down. My impression: Barack Obama is very smart, has studied well, was quite prepared on the topics, as a good student would be prepared for a test. Senator McCain is equally prepared on the topics but brings to the platform a clear, much more clear, understanding of the issues based on experience, not just life experience but experience as a lawmaker who is much less affected by public opinion than by what he knows, by personal observation, to be true.
That experience, which can be equally defined as "wisdom," is the difference that should make the difference for those undecided voters when choosing between the two candidates. This world moves much too fast for a student to become the spokesperson for the most powerful and important nation on earth. Instead, the wise, experienced man has the characteristics of the leader that this country needs.
If I had any doubt before (though I didn't), I have none now.
