If so, why do you care if McCain, Obama or Clinton win? (This is designed to be a trick to find out what Obama is going to do if he wins ) Are they any different?

This is a vital election to ensure that the people of this country send a message loud and clear. The presidency is not an entitlement for the likes of Clinton or Bush. Both families have had MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME in the W-H. So not even having Hillbilly on the ballot would mean a serious message has been sent and I believe this is partly why Obama has been doing so well against her.

Of course they are. McCain and the 2 Democrats are as different as night and day. And the 2 Dems are as different as morning and afternoon.

Your post is right on target. Few words, but you said a lot in those two sentences. We have clear choices here. I choose McCain most of the time, but Hillary is capable; I just don't agree with her policies, but I would like to see an end to the war. Obama is not even a consideration.

Honestly, as long as a Clinton or Bush doesn't win, I'll be happy.

That's definitely the first step, yes.

Obama has a lot of explaining to do concerning his fiscal policy proposals, both the spending and tax sides. Whether he passes any of his more grandiose schemes and in what form will depend highly on the mix in Congress.

This US (and the world) faces a very serious energy dilemma and, unfortunately, rightly or wrongly, securing imports of fossil fuel energy (and US oil companies' global profits) is a big part of it, so divesting from the so-called Middle East is not a realistic option right now. Of course the Iraq occupation was the wrong strategy, or at the very least managed badly and corruptly. Maybe McCain could do a better job, maybe not.

I don't expect much movement from McCain on fiscal policy.

What worries me most is monetary policy and inflation, but none of the candidates has a clue.

I do not care. It was rigged from the beginning, and the winner will continue to run this nation into the ground for the benefit of multinationals, etc. (See Bilderberg Group).
