I recall someone once telling William Buckley (probably one of your right wing heroes) essentially the same thing in an argument...that she was no expert on the topic of discussion...Buckley simply said "Then why speak." I will say the same to you. Until you have been through the law school experience you have no idea of which you speak. I have said this before, but perhaps it bears repeating...only the top of the class are invited...only the best of the best are made president. It is a combination of scholarship and leadership. Obviously Harvard Law was satisfied that he measured up. He has the badges of achievement. One does not get them without paying the dues. Have you any concrete evidence to the contrary? So far all I have heard is innuendo.

Do I have answers to why his medical, birth and college records were sealed? No I do not. Apparently you do not either.

As for the real man who has endured real hardship...I presume you are talking about McCain's mantra of being tested during interrogation and torture. If he holds that out as the test by which all presidential candidates should be measured then I think we have to examine the results of the test as well as the test. As I understand it he broke under interrogation. I can understand why, and can empathize with him. I think that those that served in Viet Nam were among the war's greatest victims.  However, in view of the result  I do not think this is the standard by which to select a president.
