if i had a vote, right now it would be for Obama...the hope being that he hasn't been corrupted by the political machine yet. The downside is experience of course, but he is a very bright guy, so that always helps.
The notion of voting for someone *cough*GWB*cough* because he is "folksy" or speaks like a 'regular guy' is completely frustrating to me...personally, I want my PM, or in this case President, to be much, much smarter that I am...
the truth is, the democrats would be better off losing the election because of what the republicans have done to the economy - it is in shambles and the democrats are going to be vilified by the GOP for raising taxes, cutting defense spending etc...but there is a financial crisis looming and i'd prefer the GOP to be in office when the sht hits the fan...
