From my worldview, Obama has fewer issues, has run a more (but not completely) honest campaign, and has absolutely no connect to Palin, who disgusts me.
I would agree with this. I have never seen a commercial of Obama bashing McCain, but always seen McCain's anti-Obama ads. Of course I am in CA, so Obama doesn't really need to campaign much here. But in the debates and everything, McCain seemed more interested in attacking Obama than he did actually answering the questions and focusing on the issues, which bothered me. I actually wanted to hear what they wanted to change, what their plans were, etc. It is disappointing just to hear attacks, that are most likely unfounded.
I think Obama is running his campaign cleaner, and more honestly. He is not always pointing the finger at someone else. He has good judgement with all of the financial issues that have been going on.
Palin... euuugh. The more they let her off her leash to talk to people without a telepromtper, the more she makes herself look like an idiot.

I (living in L. A. County) haven't seen the Obama ads either, but believe me, they're out there. Especially in the "battleground states".
But Rush Limbaugh just uncovered in his program today a scandal that matches the Clinton "stained dress" scandal. It has been reported today that several top executives from Enron and other failed corporations of that time were given multi-million dollar salaries by the Obama campaign as "aides", and many of them were given jobs at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And the "drive-by media" doesn't want to touch it because it would kill their "messiah".

Yea, I am sure there are. I was in Florida a couple weeks ago, and there were a ton of campaign ads. But the McCain ones did seem to be much more negative and attacking.
Well, most of it is because Obama has been saying, "See!!! McCain's a racist!!! He's attacking a black man!!!". And the "drive-by media" has been backing him up.

Woah woah woah, WHAT?! Can you please find me a quote where Obama says that?
He hasn't been saying it that bluntly, but if you cut through the crap and talking points, that's what he's basically saying in his speeches...
Umm, I haven't heard any of that. I might as well go out on a line and say that underneath all of McCain's crap and talking points, he's basically saying "Stop attacking me because I'm a senile old man with a temper problem!!"
I would have to say neither for the fact they will both hurt the economy more than it already is, and i actually think America is becomming less free every year that goes by. Oh and Obama will get assassinated the first year and McCain will die of heart attack from excitement (joke) but of old age for sure.
I beleive they are both weak candidates, however McCain would fair better in running this country. Honestly I think Obama is making too many promises and is mostly "fluff". McCain is pretty similar to Bush, but only sligtly better than him.
Either way, head to the bunker, gather that palette of Spam (the lunchmeat), and prepare yourself. It's going to be pretty bad.
