we both live in california so our votes are meaningless anyways. obama gets 56 electoral votes regardless.
i just hate seeing the continuation of this politics as war paradigm. it's gone way beyond playing to the end of the election. it's full time now and it's hurting the country. i like that both these guys are less partisan than the other options in each party.
i feel optimistic.

It is war. The parties aren't close in position. One wants to give oil companies all the money they possibly can, and the other doesn't. One of them wants us to pay the 40 or 50 cents a gallon to oil companies wallets, and the other doesn't. It's not unimportant stuff. It's a war between evil and good. People want things to be less partisan, but it's impossible because the positions are waaaaay too far apart. We often are giving each oil company 10 bil/ quarter year. ONE PARTY KEEPS SUPPORTING THAT. THAT'S EVIL. PURE EVIL. People who want the parties to come together are ignorant of the vast difference between the 2 parties. They aren't close. The results obtained by the party in charge are close, but that's because nobody can do anything without the other party hindering them. So, ignorant people think the positions of each party are somewhat the same. They aren't. Whenever I see somebody say the members of 2 different parties are about the same, then I know they're ignorant. The thing that hurts the country is people who are too lazy to know what the positions of the 2 parties are on issues. If they knew that, then I think the positions of the parties would be much closer. Ignorance by the electorate allows a party to keep extreme positions in place. The way to get your nice-nice is to change extreme party positions to more moderate ones. That won't happen unless the electorate knows how extreme a certain party is. Unfortunately you brought in Republican /Democrat stuff because I was making a point. The point was about McCaine's personality. The 2 individuals with the personality well equipped for this job happen to be OBAMA and Huckabee. The others would all be in no win type situations, and get worn down. I'm just talkin' bout personality types(not political positions.)
