I did Google the two candidates (unbiased opinion Clinton Obama) and the only one I could that fit what I was looking for is yours. I am not a political person. I find it frustrating, boring, and mind numbing. Can any one person really make a change? I make sure that I vote, because I do believe it is important. The debates, the ads, the editorials are the things that I can't stand. I just want someone (you I guess) to make a list of each candidate, what their voting history is, what the pros and cons are, and what they want to do for our country. Pure and simple. Just a list. Let me make my judgment by that. Thanks for being out here! Thank you.

I've been avoiding the political post myself, seeing I especially want to finish reading <i>The Audacity of Hope</i> first. Which, of course, shows my prior bias, but even still, I feel I need to read it to understand him better. As to McCain, you did leave something very important out which is noteworthy: his stance on torture. There was a recent resolution anti-torture that McCain voted against. I was trying to find a good article about it, but the best I can find is a recent ABCNews blogpost: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/02/did-mccain-flip.html While that article is a bit biased, it still covers the point of him voting against it and his exact words and the main point of the whole thing. I liked McCain a good many years ago when I thought he was the man in 2000 or 2004, but in the modern world of 2008, I've heard the usual governmental double-speak from him and I'm getting a bit tired of it. And then add in today the fact of damn Nader running again... Yeah, I think I'm going to do some reading on Wednesday and really get into the thick of it soon...
