only two "American" candidates.

I agree that they're two pees in a pods: they are both super rich lawyers who had the resources to win senate seats, for the same party, and now contend for the presidency.
But let's include McCain (another rich senator who gets along well with democrats), and call them three in a pod, if we're going to be honest. Can you tell me how overall policy will change based on who wins between three moderate candidates? By the time a bill has made it through the House and Senate, nothing extreme will make it to the president's desk.

The dude worked hard to become a money generating machine (is killing the other candidates on fund raising). I don't know what's more American than working your behind off, in our free market economy, to be a financial and political powerhouse.
He may believe that paying customers should NOT be turned away for health care coverage. But that doesn't make him a socialist. Nobody as rich as he is would want the government to control all business, considering he would lose a lot if he had to give it all back. So say what you will about him, but I'm confused as to how a rich lawyer, being heavily invested in private corporations, can be a "socialist".
The President's main job is to be a leader. Obama by far is the best with words. Obama has the strong language ability needed to manage a four million employ executive branch and the military. McCain will not be able to match Obama's drive to be a strong day to day leader.
I'm fine with all three candidate's policies, considering all three candidates are fiscal moderates and social liberals. So I'm going with the leadership skills as the tiebreaker.
