Interesting you should say this. While I'm tending towards Obama, my
decision hasn't been made. One of my concerns is McCain's brain power.
I've noticed on several occasions, his aides feeding him lines. So far,
it could just be campaign fatigue, but it is something to keep an eye on.

I sort of like McCain personally, but I think he is over the hill, and
is suffering from lapses that would be dangerous for this country in
these times. McCain would have been a great president had he been
elected in 2000, but not now.

We need to get the hell out of Iraq, as quickly as possible. That is not
going to happen with McCain in the White House. Also, McCain hasn't a
clue about the issues that impact most Americans, and if he picks
someone like Romney as a veep, it'll be more of the same: screwing what
remains of the middle class to further enrich the rich.

Mrs. Clinton was my first choice, but I have no problems with Barack
Obama as president. He's smart, ballsy, and I really think he cares
about ordinary people. The bonus is that he won't nominate any
right-wing screwballs to the Supreme Court, and he won't initiate
actions that curtail civil liberties.
