re: "change is best when it happens gradually"
What if change on a global scale has nothing to do with Hillary or Obama? Something that has to do with your well being and those of yours around you AND those from abroad. Something Hillary nor Obama can't do anything about, but McCain can.
Ahhh, for what it's worth. I think that from an internal and international standpoint, McCain is the right man for the job. He's been there and done that.
Asides: No, I don't think it's a good idea to close Guantanamo and it has nothing to do with gender or skin color. I'm a Cuban woman and I have cousins who are African-Cubans, they are very well off (thank you very much) thanks to the medical fields that they pursued in this great country.
