Experience.

I don't see how McCainers can still pull the experience card with Palin at his side.

Well I live in Fairfax County. Palin did stints as a student at Community College. She truly knows how the other half lives. Her stats as a public offical in Alaska are good. Talk about change - I don't mind Palin and she could work our local budgets anytime and I'm a democrat:

Wikipedia excerpt
"During her first year in office, Palin kept a jar with the names of Wasilla residents on her desk, and once a week she pulled a name from it and picked up the phone; she would ask: "How's the city doing?"[38] Using income generated by a 2% sales tax that was enacted before she was on the city council,[47] Palin cut property taxes by 75% and eliminated personal property and business inventory taxes.[48][49] Tapping municipal bonds, she made improvements to the roads and sewers, and increased funding to the Police Department.[31] She also oversaw new bike paths and procured funding for storm-water treatment to protect freshwater resources.[49] At the same time, she reduced spending on the town museum and blocked construction of a new library and city hall.[49] Palin ran for re-election against Stein in 1999 and won,[50] with 74% of the vote.[51] Palin was also elected president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors.[52]"

Just add more zeros behind a budget.

She left Wasilla with huge cost overruns on the ice rink because she went ahead before getting proper ownership of the land.

Obama. Top reason: To speed the second coming of Christ.

Okay, that's not really the reason, but I couldn't resist. It's from Ben Smith's blog entry:

Vote Obama, speed second coming

Just off the press release wire:

HOUSTON, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dr. K.A. Paul, the man the New Republic magazine called the world's most popular Christian evangelist, today endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President of the U.S. ...

"Number one, speaking from an evangelical perspective, the current administration, I believe, has delayed the second coming of Jesus," he said.

Man, and they thought the liberals were blaming Bush for everything! LOL!

14:47 here. Yeah, you're right. Watch out, though, Barack: This could give ammunition to those who claim you are the Antichrist. The Antichrist has to appear on earth before the Second Coming of Jesus. They'll be looking for a 666 under your hair. Or it could fuel the claims that you yourself really are the Second Coming of Christ. Think of the potential for dualing spin out of the two camps!

My real reason for voting for Obama is not that he will speed the Second Coming, but that he is the Democratic nominee, representing Democratic ideals, and I am a Democrat. My primary candidate was HRC, but these days you can often find me campaigning in Pennsylvania wearing a "Hillary Sent Me" pin.

He also represents my family and belief system concerning the world and our government much more than McCain (Palin is not even in the same universe-the thought of her ever becoming President if something happened to McCain is just beyond belief and terrifying for me).

Well said!!!

Yes, We can!!!

Oh, and I already voted for Obama early in Arlington...

Obama.

I agree with the platform.

Driving down Patrick Henry Dr. in Arlington (22207), I see nothing but Obama signs on peoples' lawns, but on the public median strip, it's all McCain signs, except for the very last one...is the cutest kid-crafted Obama sign.

I'm 22003 in Annandale. Wakefield is 100% McCain signs, once Wakefield turns into Stark Road (just a name change) all the signs are for Obama. So funny.

With Obama there will be huge tax increases after all the socialist type programs are put in place. I can't wait to see what I will be shelling out for everyone's free medical care.

I don't like John McCain either. During the last debate he seemed immature and childish while writing down notes of things to throw in the face of Obama. He is pretty old, and a bit out of touch.

I dislike that Obama has ten times the number of radio and television ads that McCain has, and every single one of them is bashing McCain. Tell us what you are going to do for us, not what the other guy may take away. Name calling doesn't make me like you. Sure, McCain does this too, but he doesn't have the same number of ads.

At this point I think I am trying to decide who isn't going to make thing worse than they already are. We are in a tough spot. I don't think either of them are prepared for what is in store for this country.

I don't know who I am going to vote for. Logic tells me one person, and my gut tells me another. Either way, we have a long hard road ahead of us. We need to stop blaming each other, and start coming together as a nation.

McCain:
Can't stand the media's fawning all over Obama --the coverage has been way too biased and has made me dislike Obama as a candidate. I like the underdog who is fighting against losing odds.Go McCain!

so if obama was the underdog, you would vote for him? The media might fawn over McCain if he could a) pick a decent VP, b) control his temper, c) didn't have all the anti-gay, anti-muslim, racist POS's supporting him, d) didn't have 13 cars and 7 million dollar homes while he says he knows what the average American life is like. The media, like half the country, knows he full of it.

"The media knows he full of it." ?? Surely you can do better than that!

I will probably get booted by the guy who runs this site, but I am voting for McCain. Too many unknowns with Obama. His relationships with Ayers, Wright and Rezko scare me silly. At least with McCain I know we get a cranky old man to hold the seat warm until Hillary comes back.

We heard so much about the Democrats' support and concern for the "little people," and now we hear that if you are a reporter whose organization can't pony up lots of cash you won't have access to Obama et al. on election night (see today's Washington Post story on page A4.) Obama's huge support from "little" donors has been touted, and yet he's raised less (percentage-wise) from small donors than Bush did in 2004 (today's Post page A7). His fundraisers have found creative ways to bring in much more money than the FEC allows from any one individual. This, plus his refusal to take public financing, make me wonder whether he really does care about the little people. How about using some of that $150 million to help hurting people instead of blasting us with yet another ad?

Obama
Reason: Too many to list but the gut reason is since the McCain/Palin campaign was running on the vote for us because we are "just like you" but I don't own 13 homes only 1, live in fake America where I lost two classmates in the 911 attacks and spent hours praying my husband was okay, am an African-American pro-choice woman (not sure how many of those are running around "real America"), and gee golly admire people that spend time trying to make the world a better place as a say a community organizer or a Peace Corp volunteer like several of my friends did and found out while watching the RNC that not only is there NOT a Santa Claus but trying to help people are for suckers you should be out getting a "real job".

So I think my point with the donations is I don't know how much of a role the big fundraisers have had BUT I can understand all the comments above inspiring people to give to the Obama campaign along with the fear of oh no - not another election like 2000 where all political wisdom would have your side winning but somehow a rabbit or hanging chad is pulled out of the hat. I've never given to a political campaign in my life and I almost gave to the Obama campaign. The only thing that stopped me is my general paranoia of how my contribution would be used to make some value judgement about the company I work for as a whole even though there was no mention of politics at my company. I think I read somewhere how the RNC wants the list of all the donors that gave under $200 even though by law that doesn't have to be reported.
