I would be a democrat if I were a US Citizen. But... Argh. I might regret putting this into writing; I KINDA HOPE MCCAIN WILL WIN THIS ELECTION. It's just that, Obama promises this radical change but he frets on being branded a liberal, he courts too much on both sides. McCain is a guy who has been tried and tested. He isnt keen on making hasty decisions(such as the troop recall Americans are oh-so-clamoring. They waged war on Iraq. it was THEIR decision. they should stick it out. they should ensure first that the Iraqi government can stand on their own and that the divisions of the country are healed. They made the cracks more evident so for me, they should pray the price. If they have to spend trillions of their money, then so be it. Who told them to bomb the country in the first place? Before a recall, they should ensure that Iraqis wont start another civil war against their minority faction.)<br><br>Well, I dont believe in most of McCain's stands on issues. But i admire the guy for sticking to his side and not being afraid to pick a stand. I think a leader should have the guts to do that. Obama's too much of a sweet talker to me, he tiptoes on certain issues to broaden the margin of people he could appease. his health care and education plan is just an exact replica of that of Clinton with just a few tweak here and there. <br><br>Ok.Ok. I think now is the time to admit, IM STILL PISSED HE WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION OVER HILLARY CLINTON. I think she was/is the better leader among the lot. I lost interest in the elections the day Americans got her out of the running. <br><br>HILLARY CLINTON FOR 2008 STILL! haha Im a liberal thinker. I would be a democrat if I were a US Citizen.

Ari, I couldn't agree more. I am disenchanted by McCain's policies which I think are against the ideals of democracy. Barack Obama carries a message of hope and change, something America—and the free world, for that matter—so desperately needs. Let's hope America takes a turn for the <i>better</i> come November.

I’ll vote for Barack Obama over John McCain any day of the week, if for no other reason than because McCain favors capital punishment, opposes a woman’s right to have an adoption, and opposes gay marriage. There are other issues but those are the key elements for me.

That said, the person who the United States votes to the office of President is not the only person running the country; keep in mind the framers of the Constitution built in checks and balances among the three branches so no one branch has absolute power. Moreover, the presidential cabinet is a powerful union of experts who advise the president on crucial matters.

There is also the matter of who is picked to be vice president. A couple elections ago, I was close to voting for Ross Perot but I looked at the resume and age of his chosen vice president and switched to a major party candidate.
