Well, Obama's judgement has caused him to run a campaign that beat the  
unbeatable Hillary Clinton, her ex-president husband and the legion of  
Clinton supporters and contributors plus millions of hopeful women.

His judgement now appears to be beating McCain, who has become more  
erratic as the polls continue to reflect his undisciplined judgement.  
McCain selected for vice president someone obviously vastly  
underqualified. He made a grandstanding show of stopping his campaign  
to go sit in on a meeting about the economy. He made an attention- 
getting show of not doing a debate and then changed his mind. He has  
pulled back from Michigan, essentially admitting defeat. He has  
embraced Rove's disciples and the Rovian tactics. His choice for  
economic advisor was Phil Gramm. I find McCain's judgement to be  
uneven and erratic. He is simply undependable. Seems to me that he is  
drinking at the same well as the current president.

Obama has had several hills to climb, most especially having a black  
father and a white mother. His judgement appears to have surmounted  
all of those hills.

Except probably cigarettes.
