Who are you voting for?

So with the election just around the corner I was wondering who everyone was voting for.  Please don't turn this into a bash on Baldi thread or any other nonsense.  I sent my absentee ballot in last week and voted for Obama.

McCain

barack

Obama

obama

NEITHER

McCain

Cynthia McKinney...

It's time for change. The selection of Palin was not a smart choice and McCain stating two weeks before the market crashed that the "financial market was fundamently sound". I am not head over heels for Obama but to me personally.....he is just a better choice IMO. Obama's lack of experience scares me but he has more then handled himself on the campaign trail. These are the main reasons I am voting Obama.

SO you dont think Obamas ready, but since he gives a good speach, that seals it?

Kucinich.

It's not about how Obama can speak to a crowd it's about McCain selecting Palin as VP and McCain stating the economy is fundumentally sound two weeks prior to the fall out. The VP selection was a major test and McCain failed! Obama has proven himself under fire during this whole election process and I will be interested to see how he would handle the Presidency (If he wins it). Even some of my friends who are Republicans admit that McCain dropped the ball by selecting Palin. It's not that I am head over heels for Obama and his speechs it's just McCain made up my mind by his actions. Finally just because Obama lacks the experience it does not mean he will not be a good/effective Pres. IMO.

I am a peace person & we actually have a presidential candidate that wants rectify the image of the USA around the world

This is  a no brainier Obama is an easy choice

Essentially what your saying (and I agree with you) is that McCain has already proven he lacks the judgement, temperment and character to be POTUS.  Obama hasn't had enough time to do the same.  In the absence of analyzing candidates by their positions on major issues I don't really have a problem with this rationalization.

Yeah that's it in a nut shell. For this countries sake I hope the next Pres has a steady hand and nerves of steel.

LOL....Good one! I have a great repect for people in the Military. One of my cousins graduated from West Point and is fighting in Iraq. You are right fighter pilots do have nerves of steel but I think McCain's may be past his prime. His eye sight is not as good anymore.

John McCain is an American hero, no doubt.
And if he wuz on the ballot back in '00, I mighta hit his button.
But it a differnt world now. And he seem to be a differnt man.   

Does anyone know of a place (website, etc.) that lists the major issues at hand and what each candidates position is regarding it (without having a biased twist) to help someone make a decision?

RealClearPolitics.org has plenty of good information
