EXCERPT: Unlike Flip Flop Flap Jack McCain.  As I have pointed out before here at The Voice, McCain is a proven fighter pilot, where tactics is master and flying by the seat of your pants is often times a survival requirement.  But the presidency requires a cool head for strategy, and delegating the tactics to his advisors and experts in his chain of command.    Obama has demonstrated a tremendous strategic ability in his campaign, an ability that will serve him and...
