Who are you going to vote for, or if you are under 18, who would you vote for? And WHY?

I would vote for John McCain because:
- He has much more experience than Obama 
- I know what his beliefs are/where he stands on the issues, and he isn't changing them all the time
- He doesn't make me suspicious
- He didn't have any reason to leave his church
- He does not support Nationalized (Universal) Health Care
- He supports many alternative energy solutions
Watch Video!
And the list could go on..............

McCain because he will appoint better SC nominees. He also won't allow the first two items on the Dems agenda to pass, card check and the fairness doctrine.

I'm starting to lean towards Obama, not just because I like him on health care, but also to spite the Republicans for leaving the people in the dust in order to support coporations and the do anything to make a buck crowd.
Who knows though? I may end up not voting at all this year because I'm pretty much disgusted with all the parties.

I'm beginning to lean toward McCain but I feel like the choice is between two bowls of ... stuff.
If you know what I mean.
I can't vote for Nader but I may vote for a "third party" (if one is on my ballot that I can stomach) just to make a (very insignificant) statement against this two party system that is producing uninspiring, low quality candidates.
McCain's VP is going to have a big impact on my choice as, ghoulish though it may sound, he or she very well may be the next president sooner rather than later. And if God willing McCain survives his first term he may not be up for a second (the presidency takes a great toll on those who hold the office), giving the VP a big incumbent bounce, especially if conditions improve.

In fairness McCain's beliefs / stands are way different than they were a few years ago. He admits as much but has explained why he has changed on most of them. Obama has had policy evolutions over a shorter period of time without as much explanation and they have gone from positions needed to win the Democratic primary to positions that will help win the general election. McCain's shifts have not been as "conveinent".

Once again, a third party is a wasted vote. In 2008, the winner will be obama or McCain.
I hate McCain.
But my two main issues are national security and SCOTUS, I will absolutely vote for McCain.

In a sense yes but it is a way to express the displeasure some of us feel about our two party system and the flawed candidates it produces.

The flawed candidates are produced by the media. The media now controls the political system. They can make or break a candidate. Good men and women who would make far superior candidates than the ones we have now refuse to undergo the intense scrutiny they and their famiies, friends, and now church must go through as "investigative reporters" sift through every aspect of their lives. Every misstatement is amplified, spun, taken out of context, and blown out of proportion. I've often wondered how many of the great leaders of the past would have even survived the political process had the same media vultures from the left and the right, been around back then? What if back then people had the same real time access via television, talk radio and the internet? The fact is, we have two candidates who know how to play to the media, and they know how to play the game. And that's what it's all about right now. We may as well give all the ballots to Fox, Rush Limbaugh, CNN, and MSNBC and have them pick our leaders. Their doing it anyway, whether we know it or not.

That has to be the most well thought out statement I've read in the Election '08 folder to date. ; ) Totally brilliant. :D

John McCain.
Just cannot vote the demokrat ticket because of the social issues (abortion etc.), and the tax and spend mentality.
Thanks

I know one of McCain's choices for VP is Tim Pawlenty, governor of Minnesota, which has voted democrat for many years. But I think I heard somewhere that McCain is doing almost as well as Obama with Minnesota. So, I wonder if McCain picked Pawleny, if that would get Minnesota to vote for McCain?

Dead is dead, friend.
You may accuse me of wasting my vote by going 3rd-party, but I'd rather waste my vote than continue in the perpetual machine of the lesser evil.
