Who of these three best serves our interests, as a county? Who should we elect?
Good Lord. Aren't you pathetic? Can't you think for yourself? You're asking a bunch of strangers on City-Data to tell you how to vote?
Here's an idea--THINK FOR YOURSELF. You've already done some research so obviously you know how to open a book or utilize the internet. Now take it a step further and open up your bloody mind. Make some decisions on your own. Educate yourself. I'm not about to tell you or anyone else how to vote. That's what mindless special interest groups are for.
McCain is an honorable man who has had a distinguished career. He is George Bush's antithesis. But he is somewhat elderly and his health is questionable.
Mr. Obama is largely untested, with a thin resume. But he represents the opportunity for America to finally provide proof that our country has overcome racial prejudice in choosing its Chief Executive.
I think we have two excellent candidates. Good luck with your choice.
He spelled "candidate" wrong in the title, so he's obviously not educated enough to be an Obama supporter.
Do you really want to look at which party has the most diverse voters? Get real.

But that's okay. John McCain says "Come as you are!"
unless your gay, a woman, a black person, a poor person, an atheist or an independent thinker.
