Well, I didn't want to post this immediately, because I wanted some more time to think about it. I was very impressed by Obama's acceptance speech. I still haven't decided for whom I'm voting. And I still have issues with both candidates. But, woa! I'm not saying his speech was the Gettysburg address or Shakespeare or anything, but it will be remembered for a very long time. And I think people will be quoting it and referencing it for years to come... well after he's left office. Oooo. Did I give away what I was thinking? By contrast, I watched McCain's choice of running mate string as many cliches as possible into her speech. Granted, it's apples and oranges. One was an acceptance speach, the other just introducing a running mate. But... I dunno. I'm not easily impressed. Obama gave me goosebumps. Imagine that.

Heh...I had the opposite reaction -- yawns for Obama, and goosebumps for Palin.
HOW?
Dear Liberal Pod Person....Where is the Hutch I know! Look on Obama's website and McCain's website, both list their economic plans. McCain's is just more viable. Obama's plan includes giving $1000 refund to each American Family, congress just tried that with $600, guess what it didn't work!!!! Obama's is unrealistic he plans on giving a ton of money away with no way of paying for it. And forcing employers into a government health insurance program is ridiculous (providing only $2500 coverage per person,) McCain's idea of providing tax rebates to employers is more carrot than stick, a much more capatalist approach (and provides $5000 coverage per person with lower cost to the tax payer.) Sorry dude, I disagree with McCain on a some points but he is a much better choice than Obama. So let Obama have his flowery speaches I'll take the politician who has actually tried to make changes.
On a side note why hasn't more been said to Obama's ties to the Chicago political machine and Tony Rezko.
I think leading the country takes more than just having a better plan. I've been following both sides closely. McCain is like a creepy robot, and Palin is like a pissed-off cliche factory. Everytime I hear Obama speak, he's brilliant. Maybe I just don't expect very much after hearing Bush speak all of these years. Dude, I'm republican and very proud of it. In fact, I'm very republican, but is McCain the best we can do? There's over 300 million people in thei country, and McCain is the best we can do? I don't think so.
And who the hell is Tony Rezko?
Sorry, I forgot you aren't bothered by Chicago politics. Tony Rezko is a wealthy Chicago businessman that is under indictment for charges of wire fraud, bribery, money laundering, and attempted extortion. He is a cog in the Chicago political machine, Obama Fund raiser (since 1995,) and owns the land on either side of Obama's $1.6M home. The whole real estate has a lot of shading dealings (like selling portions of a lot to avoid development etc.) While no official ties to Obama have been reported in his federal case, I'd hate to see Chicago politics taken federal.

I'd rather Chicago politics taken federal than Arizona. They're facing the worst recession in decades because of rampant prospecting, sprawl, mortgage fraud, and poor economic policies. Where wat McCain? I dunno, but I don't want that shit to go national.
