Really?? How do you figure. He has been married for twenty years to the same woman, as far as we know he has been faithful and you can tell he really likes her.
Let''s see. McCain on the other hand, dumped his first wife for the trophy wife. Now who really dishonors women?

Obama is a saint compared to the way McBush treated his sick wife and the crass jokes he makes about women.

Don''''t follow in the footsteps of your fathers or mothers. Be independent in your thinking, and we just might get the right person voted into office.

You are exactly right. You should be looking at issues when you vote, not party. I dropped out of the Republican party because my Republican friends would get all huffy if I criticized a Republican. Now I can criticize Democrats and Republicans equally. McCain has come up with exacly zero ideas for improving our economy, how to handle Iraq, health care, education, etc.
Obama is by far the smarter, more articulate, candidate, with ideas that make sense on most issues. He may not accomplish all of those goals, but at least he has some.

"Obama leads McCain 54 percent to 38 percent among all women. He holds a two point edge among white women, a 21 percentage point swing in Obama''''s direction from one week ago. "
McCian''''s selfish gamble hasn''''t paid off.

Just 17 percent of registered voters say McCain chose Palin because she is well qualified for the job of Vice President. Seventy-five percent say McCain made the choice to help win the election. (Even voters backing the Republican ticket share this view: 53 percent say the Palin choice was to help McCain win in November.)

Well, duh. He just wanted a woman, any woman, to try and grab the po''d Hillary supporters. So he picks some woman with more baggage than the Clintons, just because she can shoot a moose. If I had a gun, I could shoot a moose. So what.
Her foreign policy experience is that she lives next door to Russia?? I live next door to an artist, but I still can''t draw a circle.
His ambition got in the way of his concern for his country.

Events are conspiring to make John McCain look like a complete idiot. He deserves it.

One thing that might help in this country is to do away with party affiliation - everyone should be an independent voter. That way, one can make up his or her mind which candidate gets their vote without feeling they have to be loyal to their party. If you''ve been a Redsox fan all your life it''s not easy to switch to being a Yankees fan even if you believe the Yankees are now a better team or vice versa. Don''t follow in the footsteps of your fathers or mothers. Be independent in your thinking, and we just might get the right person voted into office.
