What they want is a guy that is thoughtful and will do the right thing. The thoughtful and right thing to do in the war on terror is going after the "masterminds" hiding out in tribal Pakistan. That's where the intelligence community says he is, and that's where the efforts should be made to take the problem out. Blowing $18 million an hour in Iraq, or not rebuilding Afghanistan, is not the wise thing to do. John McCain is status quo. Barak Obama presents some hope, especially for those who hope a negotiated settlement is possible. Obama opens up avenues for discourse, which is exactly what this nation needs.
