Why not good sense ? For wanting that in everyone who votes and in a President ?

sure "good sense" is a "good idea" but you have to define that based on a track record, and one of the candidates just doesn't have a meaninful track record. so how do we get past the hype and the canned speeches and look at what it is that proves or disproves "good sense" about the two candidates?

Personally, I think well of McCain's military record.  It's excellent and very admirable.  Still doesn't change my mind about who I'm likely to vote for president because military experience is the least of my concerns re what I want out of a president.
