Isn't it great to be American and vote for what you belive in? Good for you for for deciding, just be sure to get out and vote.

Be careful what you wish for though... If Obama gets in, there will be change all right....just not sure if it is the "change" you want.

Personally, I am sick of the Dr. Phil type marketing speeches full of buzz words to energize me. I liked Obama at first. Then he became a mystery man.

I am no longer impressed with Obama and polls show he is losing his charm and that spark that he once had. He had a good run, but people are smart. They begin to see through the "tell then what they want to hear" BS that people want to hear.

I'm not a huge fan of John McCain, but, I find him a lot better suited for the job than Obama. The main reason being that I disagree with Obama's policies of over-taxation and bloated 'big brother' government.

Obama is also 'politics as usual'. He's no different than any other politician, the fact that he tried to fool us into believing he was also rubs me the wrong way. At least McCain has a history of compromise and crossing party line to do what he believes is best for our nation (agree with him or not). The leaders of the democratic party themselves have stated this on many an occasion.

Personally, Obama is way to liberal for my vote. That being said, I like the way you approach this. Maybe this blog can evolve into a discussion of policies, instead of devolving into an insult filled mud slinging fest.

The two party system will likely never present you with the change you hope for. The Republicans are hijacked by the christian right and the Democrats are owned by the socialist extreme left. Presidential candidates can never make it to the ticket with the support of their respective party meaning they are dependant upon them for their survival. This in turn means they will do little but echo the same old party rhetoric without truly trying to represent the majority of people that consider themselves moderates. Reagan was the last president to manage to do this effectively.
"Change" is an effective word, but it's nothing more than a word if the policies are in fact the same. Obama's ideas are nothing new, they are the same old policies the left has been pushing while McCain (once consdiered a maverick) has now fallen in line with the common right-wing policies.
The question always remains the same in the end run...
If you favor less government restriction and more business growth you vote to the right.
If you favor more government spending on social programs and higher taxes on businesses you vote left.
Obviously there are more factors than that to consider but the point is, the policies and ideas offered to us have NOT CHANGED.
"Change" is a pretty word placed on the box to make you buy it.

Once again I am dissapointed!!!

Both sides of this campaign have gone increasingly negative, and I hate it!

Get out of the gutter and start talking about the issues...both of us.

No matter who wins, you will need to work together to fix the mess this nation is in.

Today a major bank failed...and the stock market tanked, and all I hear from both candidates are these nasty personal attacks.

Enough already.
