I don't think any three of the candidates are vastly different in what changes they will make once elected.

And since they are all about equal, I've got a few reasons to weed out two of them to decide on my vote.

McCain - With McCain, I'm concerned about his mental state, his age (he'd be the oldest ever elected to a first term), and his affiliation with a party that's known for bashing minorities (especially gays) and starting wars (which hurts all of us). Therefore, I will vote for either democrat over McCain.

Clinton - I was a HUGE Bill Clinton fan, for the same reason that I'm an Obama fan: Bill had true leadership qualities. He was somebody a nation could rally around. But Hillary, on the other hand, just doesn't have it. She also talks more about "beating Republicans", while Obama has a history of working with the GOP when it comes to enacting positive change.

So Obama is the winner by default: he's the only candidate that has the leadership skills fit for a president, he works well with the other side of the aisle, and he's just generally a good and likable guy. And when he speaks, you can feel it through your heart. He's got the magic that we need in a leader, and he dedicated to making the nation a better place to live for middle-class and low-income people.

Can you give me an example of Barack working well with the other side? I have seen only one example in which he actually worked with a Republican (John McCain), but that is because McCain took a giant leap to the other side of the aisle himself.

You did not just say that. Oh my.

Next your going to tell me you get a thrill up your leg when Obama speaks.


And how is the GOP bashing minorities today?
It seems to me they are trying to reach out to them but old distrusts die hard in the minorities minds.

About the original post:

Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc. hated John McCain. However, one nominated, they learned to keep their mouths shut and all they could do is put a democrat in office. I'm thinking the same will happen to the democrats. They'll come together against McCain.

Gosh where do I start with your post.

First off, what indication do you have, other than reaching for partisan straws, that Mccain has any mental problems? After all, he has worked in top level government for 3 decades, ran for President in 2000, and served on top level committees without any problems. What do you know that nobody else does?

And what is the deal with the age thing? It's agism and only being applied by the left becuase they have very little to attack Mccain with. Mccain is not much older than other Presidents who have served and done tremendous jobs.

And enough with the cliche stigma of racism in the Republican party. After the racial tension between the Hillary and Obama camps it should be obvious you guys have enough problems without pointing fingers. Also, with Obamas pastor and his churches honoring of Farrakhan as well as people like Robert Byrd, Al Sharpton, and Jesse (Hymie Town) Jackson in your party do you really want to debate what party is more racist? And don't make me have to remind you that the Bush administration has appointed more minorities (Powell, Rice, Paige, Gonzalez, etc.) to top government positions than ANY administration in history.

And finally, your conclusion that Obama is the winner by default is a riot. He has shown ZERO leadership as you contend and has not worked with the other side nearly as well or as long as Mccain has.

Even if Mccain gets 10% of the 28% of Hillary supporters who say they will vote for Mccain over Obama that is a huge number. I don't think the left or the media in general is willing to admit that Mccain may not just win in November but this may be a blowout Republican win.
