If I could vote in the upcoming election, I would vote for Barack Obama... because he seems to be the much lesser of two evils.
Although he may not have as much hands on experience as McCain, he still has been able to study the patterns of political history, and can learn just as much from it. He's younger, fresher, and I think he has more up to date ideas for the future of our country. I also agree much more with the way he wants to handle issues in our government. He knows how to address problems, and is an excellent public speaker. I think he has fresh ideas about how to handle aspects of our country-- for example, how he wants to improve education so everyone is able to go to college, improve math and sciences because they are so important, etc.
Also, I would say one of the main reasons I became a Obama supporter is because I really dislike McCain. He's old, has cancer, and his VP (who would be our president if something were to happen to him) is awful. Not only this, but he isn't a strong public speaker, he doesn't seem to have anything new to address or change and he thinks the American people are his 'friends', not people that he should be working for. Some of his ideas seem absurd- in education, how does he expect to let every family choose where they would like to send their child without having one school overflowing with kids and the next not have anyone. How does he think we were going to have enough 'clean coal' to be an efficient resource when there isn't even such a thing as 'clean coal'? I think Obama is the smarter choice for the future of our country, and even though he may not be perfect he's better than Mccain in my eyes.

You clearly make a selection and do a good job addressing Obama's strenghts as well as mentioning his weakness. You could have done more with highlighting however, that his weakness in fact might be considered a strength. In that he has little experience which you mention but his youth gives him a fresh perspective which you also mention. The difference is really linking these two. I would have also liked to see you support your argument with specific points. He is a good speaker as witnessed (at ball circle, on TV, in the debates). I also would have liked to have seen at least one issue presented in detail (potentially the one that you care about and blogged about earlier). Overall it is apparent you have a very clear opinion Good JOB
