Personally, I find him very articulate and intelligent. I think he would be a decent guy to hang with, but I would not vote for him. His policies stink. He is Jimmy Carter all over again.

Growing our social programs with government controlled healthcare and a nanny state from cradle to grave will only accelerate the decline of our country.

His race does not matter to me for my own vote. I would vote for an African American, if I liked his policies.

However, I think Obama's race will bother many American voters, and it will work against him. The hillbillies who voted for Hillary in the Democratic primary are Exhibit A. And women may feel more secure with a military man, so they are Exhibit B.

McCain will get the elderly vote, the military vote, and the conservative vote. The red states will go McCain. All that will be left for Obama is the far left and the urban vote.

But, his race does not bother me. For example, I would vote for Colin Powell or Condi Rice in a heartbeat.

Economy: stagflation

During Carter's administration, the economy suffered double-digit inflation, coupled with very high interest rates, oil shortages, high unemployment and slow economic growth. Productivity growth in the United States had declined to an average annual rate of 1 percent, compared to 3.2 percent of the 1960s. There was also a growing federal budget deficit which increased to 66 billion dollars.

The 1970s are described as a period of stagflation, meaning economic stagnation coupled with price inflation, as well as higher interest rates. Price inflation (a rise in the general level of prices) creates uncertainty in budgeting and planning and makes labor strikes for pay raises more likely.

I don't know if McCain will get the military vote. A lof of those in uniform want to get out of the war. They're the ones on the front lines risking death and not knowing if the war is going to last another year or decades.

As for policies beyond the war and net neutrality, I think McCain is a bit more sound (namely on domestic economy policy) but those are two big issues. McCain's attacks on Obama's international policies are a red herring. We've used diplomacy with hostile nations all the time such as North Korea. And coming off the heels of Bush isn't going to play in his favor. McCain doesn't have anywhere near the charisma as Obama who is like a 'rockstar' in politics. In an age when celebrities are worshipped like Gods, that could be enough put Obama on top.

But I can't make any predictions. I think it will be close.

Who's the keyboard warrior? YOU, douchebag. Coming at me with that "say it to my face!" bullshit over the internet. I shouldn't even be dignifying your childish bullshit with a response.

When it came to the aluminum tubes found in Iraq, her own reports from her own experts on them told her they were unsuitable for enriching uranium. Yet as we know, she then went on air and claimed her experts said they were *only* suitable for enriching uranium. When years later, Wolf Blitzer cornered her on this little tidbit on his live show, she stammered and finally blurted out "I stand by what I said at the time". She's a proven liar, outright, to your face, knew it was a lie when she said it, wont take responsibility for it. You would choose her over Obama as president? Because she has an R near her name?

Fubar.
