Souper Tuesday

I'm torn between Obama and McCain about equally. Obama has done a lot to win with words... but I'm still waiting for real information. I read his online pdf, which gives some high level concepts for improving our situation... but he doesn't really talk about HOW that's gonna be implemented. There's no details about where money will appear from to deal with these new programs. The other concern I have is that Obama, like most people on that side, seem to think that the government is the best way to help people. This reminds me of Celine's Third Law: An Honest Politician Is A Calamity.

McCain seems to have a less far-reaching set of ideas to implement... they appear more along the lines of modifying existing stuff.

On the McCain downside, he certianly seems more than willing to bomb Iran and stay in Iraq "for 100 years". However, I'm still torn between "War is Teh Dumb Solution" and "Holy Shit, Iran should not have any radioactive materials!!!"

So the jury is still out for me. I'd like to see them perform against each other in debates and maybe some more details on how Obama hopes to implement any of his plans. I'm also interested to see who McCain picks for a running mate (considering that John could drop from a heart attack tomorrow... or the day after the inauguration), if he picks a staunch conservative, rather than a moderate... that will cinch the deal for me.

If it ends up being McCain against Hillary though... I'll vote McCain, simply because I don't want another 4-8 years of half the country actively hating the President. The past 32 have been enough thanks!

Dear gods... Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II... it would be the first time in my life that half the nation didn't actively hate the President!!!!!!!
