MCCAIN LACKS THE CHARACTER AND TEMPERAMENT TO BE PRESIDENT. AND PALIN IS SIMPLY A DISGRACE.

I used to nod wisely when people said: "Let's discuss issues rather than personalities." It seemed so obvious that in politics an issue was an issue and a personality was a personality, and that the more one could separate the two, the more serious one was. After all, in a debate on serious issues, any mention of the opponent's personality would be ad hominem at best and at worst would stoop as low as ad feminam.

In case I would be an American I would definetely vote for Obama. (Beside the issue?)

Vote against McCain's VP would be vote against her in many way

The rest of the world largely agrees.

This is rather interesting:

I'm still voting for my dog.

I don't want to bring politics too far into this forum, but I will be volunteering at a Move On phone bank this weekend.  I hope in some small way to help Indiana switch from red to blue.

This is the first election that I have felt so anxious and energized.  Though no one at Move On knows of my background other than I signed up to volunteer, I'm sure that they will not have any problems with me being a lesbian.

Oh and that other thing too...
