This can be extended to something you do NOT like, or worries you.

I'm going to ask the moderators to delete posts that cross party lines and attack your opossing side's candidate. If you say nothing, you are blinded and do not post here. Nobody agrees with ANYONE 100% of the time.

So, Obama supporters, what do you disagree with about him?

What worries you about him?

McCain supporters, same questions.

I support McCain, here are this issues that I disagree with, or dislike.

1. The Term Maverick, Mavericky, etc. I think it turns people off and sounds cheesy

2. I like Palin and think she will gel into a good candidate eventually, but think given the close election, he could have picked someone better.

3. His Campaign effort has lacked specific ability to stay focused, seemingly throwing things at the wall to see what will stick. However, overall, I agree with him on most all the issues. He just needs to do a better job selling it with SPECIFICS

4. I think he needed to continue the attacks on Obama's character by associations. The polls dipped and he backed off too soon. The American people have right to know the most intimate past associations of both candidates.

5. I don't like McCain's immigrations policies. Although with the economy going to way it is, immigration will likely resovle itself with illegals leaving in droves, due to no jobs.

Ok, I stepped up and admitted mine, so lets hear yours?

Remember, this is not to turn into the typical mud-slinging thread.

I disagree with Senator Obama on the abortion issue.

My candidate is not liberal enough for me. He may be the "most liberal" in the senate, but that doesn't make him a liberal.

I don't like Obama's church he went too. I don't care what religion he is.

Obama isn't liberal enough for me, either. I wish he and Biden would stand up for same-sex marriage, not just say what they think will get them more votes, which is what I suspect they're doing.

I worry that we won't really get out of Iraq anytime soon, even though Obama says we will if he's in office.

I don't like Obama's pandering on some of the civil liberties issues (limitations on abortions, against gay marriage, etc.), but I understand his reasoning. I have minor problems with his stand on illegal immigrations which doesn't seem to be a campaign issue this year. Also, not totally on board with his plans for the economy, though much better than McCain's.

Obama remains polite in the face of constant and impolite accusations.

He doesn't post on city-data. And if he does, how come he's never given me a rep point?

I don't like that Nader wasn't able to get his name on the NC ballot as more than a write in.
