The 2008 Election:, Obama v. McCain Options

[NoSex]

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.

Saying "Fundamentally, the economy is in good shape" after the crisis that happened on wallstreet does not make the crisis go away. It makes me sad to say that Palin is probably helping McCain, because we all know that she doesn't have the best resume. And I don't like how she avoids interviews. She needs to connect with the people she is trying to gain votes from. And the parts her speeches that I've seen are the same typical Republican speeches. It's all stuff that we've too much of.

It's ridiculous how the republican campaign is acting. They're trying to focus all the attention away from the real issues and focus it on Sarah Palin to reel in voters. It's so awful. Obama isn't much of a change, but still at least he's not stooping to this nonsense or keeping the same failing economic plans. I want a president/VP where I can ask questions and receive legitimate answers.

Are people so dumb that they don't realize this country is starting to seriously slope downhill? Not only that, but they're so dumb that they actually believe that some no-creditability 2 year governor of Alaska is actually qualified to be vice president/president based on the fact she's "easy to relate to"? I realllyyy hope people start realizing these things soon.
