I encourage you to vote for Obama, because he has the best solutions to the crisis in our health care and for getting us out of the mire in Iraq.

If you liked the last 7+ years, and the current invasion of Iraq, and the current state of the economy, vote for McCain, who has guaranteed 4 more years of Bush policies. If you want a change, vote for Obama.

To simplify it..do you want to keep on in a war mode or do you want to try to extricate us from that vicious cycle? There are many many differences in their positions to be sure. But I believe McCain is holding on very hard to something that is destroying America. I don't know what Obama will do to get us out of the mess "the decider" and "dickie c" created. The challenge is enormous and frankly I don't understand why anyone would want to try to make things better. There is so much damage that has been done to our country. McCain represents failure to me..I don't know for sure if Obama will bring success..but I'd rather gamble on him. Just my take on it. Good luck! :)

Down rate all you want...my vote is for Obama! Bushanomics is killing this country!

You just might want to put Hillary Clonton Back into the mix. It looks like Obama might not be a natural born citizen. He had only one US citizen parent and it looks like she failed to meet the residency requirements. Thi may go to the supreme court and that takes time.

I am not a US citizen, a resident or live in the US as whatever. I am a foreigner living abroad. It is quite difficult for me to tell you who to vote for as I truly don’t know, though I personally don’t like any of the two candidates you mention. What I can do is give you a hint on how things look abroad then you do your research and make up your mind. These are the principal matters that need to be sorted out by the next president: - The situation in Afghanistan has back fired and nothing effective has been done since 2002. The Taliban are taking over again. - The Taliban have regrouped in a tribal area in the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, President Pervez Mousharraf is terribly weakened by the political situation in Pakistan – Pakistan is an ally of the USA. - The president of Iran has said that if anyone intends to enter his country Iran will cross the Pakistani boarder and attack whoever enters his territory. The situation between the US and Iran is very cold and delicate. - The situation within Iraq is not all that bad but again the Taliban are attacking and hiding in the mountain area. - The European Union has decent diplomatic relations with the US but very cold political relations especially Germany, France, Spain and England. Should anything happen not much help should be expected from the EU. - Several new military bases are being opened in Italy, what for? Could Iran consider it a provoking situation? - The US has domestic problems: Oil at soaring prices & stocks are short the US alone uses ¼ of the total world production. The stock market is doing very poorly. Food prices are soaring and a food shortage is on its way. The dollar is weak and the interest rates will not be adjusted till next year. The construction business is at its lowest ever. People are unable to pay their loans for their home purchases and the banks are taking over their homes. Airlines are cutting down the number of aircraft they have, canceling many flights and air fares are very high. The social security issue also requires urgent attention. There are very many other problems but these are the most important issues. You must think which candidate has enough knowledge and experience to fix all this as soon as possible. A strong government is needed and International Affairs needs an urgent make over. There are not only two candidates there are more. It is your country, you live there and its destiny and thus yours will be decided with the 2008 election. It is a tremendous responsibility for all those who will vote. This is not a pretty moment to be fooling around with white, black, change, no change and candidates attacking each other.

In the Declaration of Independence, it is written "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life...". If what is in the Declaration of Independence regarding all people being created equal and having a right to life, then a vote for Barack Obama makes no sense. The man has demonstrated that he is not only pro-abortion, but also unwilling to protect babies who survive an abortion. See his record on the Induced Infant Liability Act.

I would give you a different choice. Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Bob Barr... If your state allows it you could always write in Ron Paul.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_McKinney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Nader http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Barr

Condoleezza Rice...We need a person strong enough to hold down this nation, a party already in place and ready to mobilize...

Like it or not, we’re at war here. I hate war as much as the next person, but do we really want to stick our heads in the sand and tell ourselves that if we back out now, stop helping the Iraqi people rebuild their nation (for which the great majority are actually grateful), and return to our little old isolationist ways, we’ll be okay? What happens when the Iraqi terrorist training camps send their guys over and blow up another few thousand people? I lost a cousin in 2 World Trade Center; I don’t want to lose more family to another terrorist plot. The other big issue is health care. Obama is essentially for socialized medicine, which I’ve lived with in Spain. Believe me, you *don’t* want that. It removes any incentive for doctors to excel, which leaves you with an entire industry of semi-competent doctors with outdated technology (since new tech doesn’t even benefit them). I liked both Mitt Romney’s and Hillary Clinton’s plans to fix the health industry (her new one, not the one she had in the ’90s). Unfortunately, neither McCain nor Obama has a feasible plan in this area, and I expect the country’s going to keep right on hurting. (My family, for example, is paying $1,113.13/month for a $2,500-deductible plan from our one and only choice for insurance. Ouch!) Finally, there’s the issue of gas price–induced inflation. Guess what: it doesn’t matter who we elect; he’s going to put measures in place to fix that in the long term, but there’s nothing he can do in the short term. That issue is going to be solved in the private sector or not at all. So in short, we’re faced with what we’re usually faced with: two basically unacceptable options. The only issue that really divides the candidates is national security. Sure, Obama will give us a bright new face for the rest of the world—which would be nice—but I expect it will be at the expense of thousands, even millions, of American lives. Under McCain, we’ll have the tragedy of fallen soldiers in Iraq; under Obama, we’ll have a much larger tragedy of fallen civilians in the States. Which would you prefer?

If you like George W. Bush then vote for John McCain because they are essentially the same on all of the big issues. http://www.Bush-McCainChallenge.com If you preferred the approach of Bill Clinton (other than the whole sleeping with his intern thing) then Barack Obama is your man.

Neither. Vote Libertarian. http://www.lp.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Barr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian Granted, he has a shady past as a Republican, but as the LP candidate is quite unlikely to be president, I can afford to be ideological. However, should there be those who are truer in their Libertarianism, I'd support them. I suppose a Steve Kubby would have been preferable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Kubby but I had other pressing commitments of my time at the time of the Libertarian Party primary. Next, there are other minority party candidates, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_party_%28United_States%29 and some info here too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election%2C_2008

McCain all the way. Do you really want low income and higher taxes on just about everything that means business and money to you? Obama can give you just that.
