Look’s like McCain is playing the experience card. This is a good move, I always thought that the answer to the “old” label was the “inexperienced” label. BTW, McCain has started calling Obama his opponent. Looks like everyone has gotten the hint that he’ll be the nominee but Hillary:
ABC News’s Bret Hovell reports: Sen. John McCain sarcastically complimented his likely rival for the White House Thursday at a rally in Stockdale, Calif., pointing up what he called Sen. Barack Obama’s “lack of experience.”
“I have the knowledge and the experience and the judgment to lead this nation,” McCain said. “My opponent does not.”
He went on to praise facetiously praise Obama.
“I admire and respect Sen. Obama,” McCain said. “For a young man with very little experience, he’s done very well. I appreciate his very great lack of experience and knowledge of the issues. He’s been very successful.”
McCain has regularly said that he believes he has more experience than Obama, particularly on foreign affairs, but he has never before called him “young” or drawn such a sharp contrast on the issue of age. McCain is 71.
