I have to say that NONE of the candidates excites me. I've been a hard core Democrat for most of my adult life....but of the 3 I like McCain. I don't agree with his views on the war, though, and with an almost 18 year old son who would join the Marines in a New York minute if I gave him the nod....well....the war is a sore subject for me! I don't really like Clinton's personality, and that's a stupid reason not to vote for someone isn't it? Obama seems like a nice enough guy and the whole Rev Wright thing is ridiculous. But, I don't think Obama is ready to be President. The general consensus with everyone I talk to is that it will be Obama and McCain and McCain will win because the country is not ready for a black man as President. And THAT almost makes me want to vote for him just because that reasoning makes me want to scream! Since I don't have a strong feeling for any of them I told my son I'd vote for whomever he wanted to vote for. He is very much into politics and he is devestated that he doesn't turn 18 until 3 weeks after the election. He even talked to our Congressman to find out if there was any way to get around the age problem! (The congressman is a friend of the family). He can't believe it when I tell him that many people don't even bother to vote. Well, I can't believe that either!
