I have to admire McCain because took an unpopular stance against his party because he believed so strongly in it. That earns some respect from me. Even if you don’t agree with him, you have to admit that took a lot of guts. That shows he not only has backbone, but the ability to make tough decisions. I don’t agree with everything he says, but that is true of most candidates. But he does have my respect and I know he do try to do the right things because he believes they are right, not because some poll tells him to.

Obama is the new thing right now. But we Americans are fickle and have short attention spans. It will be interesting to see how long he can keep it up. Charisma and charm and only go so far. You got to have some substance. It is a long way until November. I can’t help but feel he started his sprint too early, and he’ll be tired out before he reaches the finish line.

Why don’t you like Edwards? I did not like him as Kerry’s running mate, because he couldn’t speak for himself. He believed whatever John Kerry believed. But now that he is on his own, he has found his voice, and he does have a lot of good things to say.
