You don't? Well, if a person is liberal on social issues, and liberal on economic issues, wouldn't Obama be the better choice for them? It isn't like it is just a job where you compare CVs and see who is the most qualified/experienced. I would vote for a one-term state representative from a rural district in Idaho over Mitch McConnell if the Idaho person shared my basic set of values.
Does McConnell have more "knowledge and experience?" Of course. But that doesn't mean he fits
my definition of a good president.
The same holds true for people of the other side. Did millions of Republicans vote for Mike Huckabee instead of McCain in the primary because they thought he had more knowledge and experience? Of course not. They voted for him because they figured he loved Jesus and hated minorities as much as they did....(or whatever their particular reasons may have been).
