Both candidates make me nervous this year.

This is just a gut call at this point, as evidence accumulates, but they both seem to be the sort of people whose principles and ideas are largely based on the last thing they heard or the last poll they saw.

I don't agree with McCain on ANWR (against drilling), but I'd be more comfortable with him holding that position solidly on his own thought-out reasons, than the impression I'm getting now that he's thinking it might be okay after all--and not based on new information that he never had before, but simply checking the weathervane. McCain, like Obama, seems to set enormous store on being "liked" and having the approval of some general public gestalt.

Nixon was a pragmatist, which is how you get a Republican that can impose wage and price controls. It sucked.
