The largest question mark I feel about McCain is his age. In terms of his charisma, leadership, experience, he wins hands down and I would be more inclined to vote in that direction. However, I feel uncomfortable about voting for McCain because I do not know who the #2 republican will be. No one else on the Republican stands out as a good president. At least with the Democratic side, there is good reason to believe it will be an Obama-Clinton ticket. Otherwise, the democrats will just hand the election to McCain because of the split in votes.

My reluctance with McCain, besides age, are reasons pointed out by Imajin, continuation of Bush's agenda and his focus away from homeland issues such as the economy. If I am mistaken, then please correct me.

Pretty much agreed there. There won't really be a dream ticket like that.

That said, I'd probably abstain period. None of them fit the bill, in my opinion. Demmy's have their own issues just keeping out of their own problems they make for each other and are disorganized as heck and McCain is...well...McCain.

If I HAD to vote, I doubt it'd be Democrat...even with all the promises of making it much better than Bush has just for the sheer fact that they will...no...I doubt they'd bowl through with it and the moreover fact that I've heard far more crap on the Democrat side as of late THAN Republican and, really, overall.

Sure plenty of people have heard the Obama priest thing as of late, if we want to throw out character into this.

Heard about that too. Today, even.

Like I said. It's all drama to me anyways. Still doesn't change the flailing dollar and our economy. :\

So now the Obama campaign says a fair resolution to Michigan's controversy is a 50/50 split with Clinton... which to me seems entirely pointless, but what do I know?

I have to say, Hillary has a good point when she says that leaving out two of the largest states raises serious doubts about the eventual candidate's legitimacy- however, I wish she had been saying that a bit earlier when the Democrats first raised the specter- still, at least being right later is better than still being wrong.
