First of all, I don't know much about the two candidates in the 2008 election for Presidency and honestly, I don't care too much either. From my perspective, neither candidate deserves to be president. Obama doesn't have a lot of experience and in a major national crisis, I don't think he'd make the right decisions for our country, and I think there's a chance he could lead us into more and more problems in our economy. For the Republican candidate, I seriously think McCain is too old and if anything were to ever happen to him, I think Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin wouldn't be strong enough to handle the duties of presidency, and putting a female into office is a BIG step for the United States. I am in no way trying to be sexist, but I just don't think a female should be in charge of our country and from personal experience, females have WACKY emotions and can be very unstable. Especially some of the drama within her personal life that has been brought into the media, do we honestly want all that into the white house??? I don't think so.
Although I dislike both candidates, for the exact opposite reasons, if I was 18, I would probably vote for Barack Obama. He caught my attention through the Democratic Convention, when he made his acceptance speech. The way he spoke and addressed the audience was impressive to me and from an upfront appearance, he seems like the better candidate.
Obama's belief on same sex marriage is that "marriage is between a man and a woman" but he also believes that it's against an Americans rights to be banned from loving someone of the same sex. Obama voted against a Constitutional amendment proposed in 2006 that wanted to ban gay marriage and he also supports civil unions for gay couples. Who's to tell a person they cannot love another person? Since when is government in charge of the love life of an American? I think it would be wrong for the Constitution to have an amendment banning gay rights and I believe that it is a person's freedom to make their own decisions, and it is NO ONE else's business what they choose.

I agree that we, along with a vast majority of Americans, are unclear about the finer points of most issues. Most of the time I would also agree that i really don't care. However, there is so much at stake with this election especially with social security, the economy, and the war. You are definitely being sexist, but that is ok because she needs to be more focused on the nation than her personal that, like her bridge, is going nowhere.
Brookee!! I agree with you on the fact that if by some miracle John McCain was going to die on us, Sarah Palin would not be strong enough to be President. Women are wayyy to emotional. You make a ton of good points on both of the candidates flaws. McCain is really old and Obama is unexperienced. Great blog darling!
PS I fixed my grammatical errors just for you.
I totally agree with what you said about John McCain's age. Although I am a republican, i do not think that Sarah Palin is ready to be president if McCain died in office. Girls are crazy, and I do not think that the US is quite ready for a female president.
