I don't really have a leaning between the two of them, but Sarah Palin is a major argument towards voting Obama.

"Obama will win because he's black."
I could say that Mccain will win because he's white, or Palin's a good/bad VP because she's a woman, but either way we're making assumptions that America's racist/sexist in it's political beliefs. Pay attention to the issues and not the racist/sexist slants. Make an educated guess.
"I wish they'd stop all the dirty stuff and concentrate on actual reasons why they should be elected. Worse is if anybody buys their bullshit about the other party."
That's all politics is these days. What I find more pathetic is when they have attack ads attacking candidates for something like associations (Reverend Wright or Prez Bush) rather than their positions on issues. It shows desperation and treats America superficially.
Back in the day I used to think Mccain, a successful, bipartisan senator, would be a great pick for president, but he's really changed in these eight years to try and win back his party. He has those same people who brought him down in 2000 working for him now and they're running the same kind of campaign. Im just glad they aren't reigniting the christian conservative base.
I view Mccain's vp pick as awful because she's inexperienced, hardly an influential talker. She tries to appeal to the people through being folksy, but I don't understand the anti-elitist appeal. Most politicans are elitists, especially the professionals who get shit done.
