Domestically, I don't think McCain and Obama will be that different other than Obama will be quicker on the trigger to raise taxes and increase entitlements. Whoever gets in will make noise about fixing social security, but nothing will get done. No one will touch those sacred cows until they are totally broke and then everything will go into crisis mode.
I give McCain major advantage in foreign policy. I think Obama will be very Jimmy Carter-esque in that regard...and even then...Carter could claim military service that Obama can't. Even if elected I don't think Obama immediately pulls us out of Iraq like all his 'bots seem to think he will. I think we're there in force for at least another 2-3 years.
Plus I *heart* Sarah, so I'd vote for McCain just for amazing me with his selection of her as his veep.
