Midterm Blog
Even after learning so much about both politics and the presidential campaign, I still would have to say that I don't have a definite answer for who I would vote for. When it boils down to it, I'm really not overly-impressed with anyone of the candidates in particular. I both agree with some of their beliefs and disagree as well... for the sake of this blog however, I admit that I would probably end up voting for Obama. I just feel that, between the two, he would be the best leader to have. Though he doesn't have much of what McCain would call a "track-record", he seems to offer more of what I agree with in terms of the war in Iraq and the safety of our environment. Another thing that I want to point out is that it's possible I'm being slightly blinded by his seemingly sincere words of leadership. There is no doubt about it that this man is a leader, and one thing that I always notice about him is that to me he looks presidential. I know that looks can be deceptive, but it is still important to note that the way he presents himself reflects on how much I trust him. There are also things about his policies that other people strongly disagree with, and I simply don't have to deal with... things such as raising taxes. Some people have a serious problem with that, but I don't have to as much because I don't have to pay taxes yet.

You really focused on Obama's strenghts. I would have liked to see some detail regarding what his policy on Iraq is or what aspects of his policy on the environment is. Your only well defined reason is based on looks....but then you go to to mention that is not something worthwhile to base a vote off of. You mention you dislike both candidates...What is it you dislike? You have to support your arguments with evidence or else your general statements can easily fall apart
I think a lot of people see Obama as the better future leader like you do. I feel like he will actually go through with what he has to say. Although I don't agree with Obama on raising taxes, I do trust him the most as you mentioned.
I'm with you, I think it is a very difficult choice between the two, and I would go completely with Obama. These aren't the best candidates, I agree, but Obama would leave a better footprint. Awesome job.
