From John McCain's campaign...

A member of John McCain's campaign staff has been quoted as saying "John McCain needs foreign-policy advisers like Tiger Woods needs a golf coach." (New Yorker, October 13, 2008, p. 116) Interesting concept, since Woods HAS a golf coach (see TheAge.com or USA Today, among others). On the other hand, Obama has an extensive and very experienced foreign-policy team. So which is best -- "experience" that needs no assistance, or "experience" that knows enough to know that policy needs to be developed with careful thought and input? I seem to remember a President who insisted that he didn't need any help; wasn't his middle initial 'W' or something? Saints deliver us from another President who is his own vision of perfection...
