"He is a good attack dog"

I'll respectfully diasgree. From what I recall, he didn't bloody-up Sarah Palin in their debate, and she's not all that formidable in that setting. He's been around forever, which gives the appearance of experience. Though in my opinion, despite the fact that he was in the Senate forever, he did nothing of consequence. Then again, nether did Obama.

Bingo. The only reason for dumping him is that it smells of desperation. And our megalomaniac-in-chief does not like to appear ruffled.
