McCain doesn't answer questions about how many how much property he owns.
He is a damn War Hero.
His appearences on SNL are classic.
Parent of a Columbia alum.

Obama kisses a white woman on the cheek, and NOBODY in the media freaks out.
The senator from Illinois has an interesting trait for a politician: he gives the air of truly considering an idea before making a decision on it.
Jeremiah Wright!
Fist bump!
His kids are endearing and hilarious.
Ms. Obama's appearance on The Colbert Report was classic.
***
Biden...is Biden.
His speech at the DNC was very heartwarming. His family seems really cool, and sincerely sweet.
***
Gov Palin is the ex-beauty queen who canceled the controversial Bridge to Nowhere.
Her husband, Mr. Palin is such a hardass that he won the Iron Dog Snowmachine Race four times, and once came in fourth place--having broken his arm the day before.

HILL! R! E!
Clinton, that is.

Getting too political for my own good. Figure if I am going to vote, then I should understand these men as best I can. I read their policy notes in the websites. I've skimmed over McCain, and am on the first section of Obama's 'Blueprint for Change.' Obama has a much more specific plan than McCain (I like the Transperancy section). But, anyway, the websites show what they want people to see. I've shared these links to third party sites for the hell of it. I've read some of the laws, and want to better consider their activity in congress. Like not only how many bills they introduction, but how many that pushed, etc. (I hope you like law-readin'.)
Barack says he'll yada yada, but has he shown the ability to do it? I am leaning toward him right now, but I'll like a lot more evidence in his activity before I throw my vote at a man who I've never meet, and may never meet. It'd be nice to vote on something more substantial than expressed policy.
Anyway, I may just vote against McCain because, according to his website, he likes the judiciary to stick to the decisions of the legislative and executive branch. He says he will appoint judges "who respect the lawmaking powers of Congress, and the powers of the President." A president will tend to appoint judges after his/her own heart. Granted, and necessary. And those judges, after that president leaves office, may even become a thorn in the side of the new president. And that's how I like it. The judiciary should and must have the ability to become a sharp pain in the ribs of the legislative and executive branches. Checks and balances. The job of the judiciary system is to referree--using the Constitution as a guide--the laws that the other two branches may support. So, if that proves a stumbling block to congress or the president, too bad. Yes, I like an appropriate amount of friction in my government.
By the way: Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State? Hm.
