Okay, this is going to sound like I'm joking, or mocking. I am doing neither. I'm honestly curious about this.

In the last few weeks/months, Junior Senator Hillary Clinton has been deriding Barak Obama for his lack of experience. In some situations, she has made fun of him because he seems to trumpet ideals over experience. The insinuation there would seem to be that experience is more important than ideals.

But if that's true, why don't the Democrats support McCain? I mean, he has more experience than either Clinton or Obama. If the argument holds water that experience is more important than ideals, shouldn't the Democrats be able to put aside their ideals, and embrace an experienced Republican?
