This election year is very important we will either sink or sail depending on the choices made. The hard thing for me is picking who is the best for the job at hand. I am going ot try to break this down person by person as what I have heard thus far. I generally do not choose until debate time but i have been pondering the pros and cons for a few weeks now.

We'll start With the newcomer, Barak Obama. My personal opinion of him is that he wants to try he seems to be a very hard working man who does not shy away from his mistakes like most. He admits he is not perfect and that is a big thing with me I do not want someone saying " Oh no I said this, not that." He truely recognizes the middle class or what is left of it after the economy gets done with us. And though he seems up tight and "elitist" I personally do not see that I see that he is articulate and there is an air of arrogance that coms with such a skill look at any speech giver. Senetor Obama Does not take a stance on Gay Marriage or Abortion becasue that is not the President's Job. It is not the Leader of a nation's job to get into the little personal things that a family suffers through. I am personally not against abortion but I would never have one and that is my choice so I can see where he is coming from on things as such.

The Bad thing about Obama is mostly his lack of experience. He has been a leader and when one really thinks about it there is not a job in particular that can prepare you to run a nation so being smart and havnig people who know what they are talking about in the position that they are needed is a smart idea.

John McCain Also has a lot going for him. He has the experience needed to navigate around Washington but as I said with Obama there is not sure fire way to be ready for a presidency. McCain also has good ideas for getting where we need to go energy wise but I would really like to hear his ideas fleshed out more. I watched both conventions and honestly the Democratic one has more fleshing out and less "Go Team!" And McCain seems overall like a good guy But beeing a good guy gets you very little unless we've hear plans for how you plan onn making things good

McCain has his irks and ires with em as well I know there is no perfect Canidate for anyone but I really wish that topics like marriage and abortion be left aone we have men dying, children starving, families freezing so I really would love to see eye to eye with Mcain on those issues.

Overall I hate to sound so pessemistic but I thoing it is all a matter of the VP I have not looked into either of them just yet but both of thm are iffy to me. The reason I say VP is that the sad fact is I do not believe either one would make it through the full term.

I do love my Country but I want to lect a person based on his merit and ablity NOT to be petty and slam the other guy. if you cannot run on the base of your own good will and doings then maybe you should not be running.
