Not my election either but my wife will be voting. I would go with Mcain - Im a big George W fan - I think the guy gets a lot of undeserved bad press but thats just me. Would have hated Bill Clinton to have been in charge when 9/11 happened - that would have been the end of the US in world politics - again - just me of course...! One good point is at least "BIllary" isnt in the running - and want to know why Obama didnt pick her for VP? Obama would have been dead within three months of taking office. She wants to be president more than its healthy! Whilst Mcain is older his age is should not be an issue - just like Obama's enthenicity should not be an issue either - but sadly there are some that cant see past those two areas. Whats funny is this whole "four years of the same.." Nonsense! Lets see what changes if Obama gets in - start counting what small change you have left cos its all gonna go in taxes. Sorry but the terrorists are gonna love it - You cant negotiate with people whos sole motive is the ERADICATION of the western way of life from the planet and Obama is very short sighted if he goes to negotiate with al Qui'da, Hezbollah or Hamas.
Since 9/11 the whole worlds political and economic face has changed. It was a moment of change that had an effect similar to the dropping of the first atomic bomb, the outbreak of World War 1, the Russian Revolution and the end of World War 2 in Europe. Why? Well as soon as George W Bush announced his war on terrorism and actualy named those on the list there was a flurry of political negotiation from as diverse places as Northern Ireland and Libya because none of them wanted to be on the list.

Sometimes you have to use the big stick...
Historicaly you cant get away from the fact that whoever is elected it will be a major change on the face of US politics - you will either have the first Black President of the US or the First Female Vice President (and given Mcain's age - possibly the first Female President of the US) and you know thats just gonna stick in Hilary's throat...hehe.
