obama has got enough delegates to be the democratic nominee

McCain says ridiculous things too (god knows Hillary, too). I don't even agree with most of his views on an idealogical level, so I would still prefer that he not win the election. I cannot honestly see any reason to vote for him; most people I know who do favor him do so on the basis that he's a Republican and therefore fiscally conservative. However, he has actually admitted to knowing nothing about the economy. I think there is something to be said for freshness at this point in time, regardless of how tired people may be of hearing about hope. Better someone new and intelligent than someone who has long been a part of a dysfunctional system. I'm hardly going to delude myself into thinking that Obama's perfect, but I have a hell of a lot more faith in him than I do in McCain in his ability to take the country in a direction I'd find favorable.

I think no matter what, the president is going to be a figurehead with a tremendously low approval rating (only gonna last 4 years lawl). I think McCain would be smart to pick up Romney as his running mate and let him call all the economic decisions, even if it's not publicly known as Romney's decisions. I was sad when Romney dropped out.

If McCain doesn't grab Romney, I'm voting independent. Don't care if it's a 'wasted vote', if enough people 'waste their vote', then people will begin to notice. Hello populist party.
