The 2008 Election:, Obama v. McCain Options

So, political discourse has been showing up more and more the closer and closer we get to November. As a result, I've decided that this thread should exist. All political arguments that relate to the elections (and the candidates) should find their home here, more or less.

Who do you think should run America? Why?
What direction do you think America is going in, as a country? What direction do you think we should go in? Why?

Support your arguments with evidence and details, make citations, try to have fun; no spamming, character bashing, etc. etc.

Also, I'd like to add on the illegal immigrants thing. You do realize that not all illegal immigrants are coming over the border. A lot of them just have visas that have expired, so therefore it's illegal for them to be here, and some aren't even aware. You have to consider all illegal immigrants when making laws about them. You can't just blame all the "free-loader" nonsense on all illegal immigrants. Isn't it unfair to shoo away all illegal immigrants because of one issue correlated with certain groups of people? What if there was a nice family member staying with their american relatives, and they stayed too long and were illegal immigrants? It's possible. We can't just unwelcome them! They have no where to go if they immigrated from overseas. Their children would just be left here, as citizens, and it's unfair to take a child's parents away. It's not as easy as saying shoo them back over the border. Not all illegal immigrants come from mexico.
