As you know I am a liberal Democrat and I have been seriously considering McCain as the best choice for President. However, I am now hung and am looking forward to the Republican Convention next week. Actually, let's face it, the conventions are one sided mud slinging parties. So I am anxious to actually get into the debates AND to see who McCain choses as his running mate.
Michelle Obama: I missed her speech.
Hilary Clinton: Fake and insincere. I rolled my eyes the entire time.
Joe Bidon: I liked. He seemed genuine.
Bill Clinton: As always, a good speaker, but didn't sway me in any way.
Al Gore: Absolutely amazing. He is such a good speaker. His latest project "An Inconvenient Truth" was extremely compelling. His endorsement and speech really did make me think twice about supporting Obama.
Obama: After Al, he was "just ok". I don't dislike him, I just don't love him. I can't put my finger on it. His policies, overall, are in line with my own perspectives. But I am still not convinced.
Important Note: Many Americans feel that by supporting Obama they will bring our soldiers home. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Sure, our soldiers WILL come home from Iraq, BUT they will turn around and go back to Afghanistan. Make no mistake - the Democratic Foreign policy is to find Osama Bin Laden. Obama's camp keeps saying that they will responsibly draw down troops from Iraq, but I am waiting to see what they means.
