[quote=thcbongman]I finally decided.

It's gonna be Obama. Initially I was leaning towards John McCain, but as the campaign kept going, it kept getting increasing negative and it seems the presidency to him is more in self-interest than the greater good of country.
Is it negativity or is he bringing to light things that the media is choosing to ignore. The same media that will opt to report on something as irrelevant as Sarah Palin's Wardrobe. There are many questionable associations on Obama's side; none of which that have been thoroughly or clearly explained.

I suppose know what a person is like outside of a campaign is not important?

Everything else that everyone says is negative I view as being information that should be investigated.

Obama hasn't had to run a negative campaign because the media has been doing all the negative attacks on their own. Must be nice to have an attack dog on your side (Obama).

I am not fond of Obama at all. Perhaps this vote I cast I will regret, but there is 1 reason why Obama has my vote.

1. Willingness to listen. Barack Obama is more inclined to listen to different points of views and accept those opinions as valid in order to make a decision. A man that can listen is a man more adaptable to oversee change. A man who is willing to sit down use diplomacy, even with our enemies is a man that can oversee change. I do not want another 8 years of one Bush with a bunch of yes men. Let's have a diverse administration for once.
Well a person can say whatever they want. Look at his time in the senate instead. Has Obama even attempted to do much of what he's saying? Does he have a history to suggest that he's a person that's open to listening (he's voted alongside party majority leaders 100% of the time). To me that doesn't sound like he's listening to anything except what his party has to say.

I don't know. Obviously you're free to vote for who you choose but Obama seems to be the exact opposite of what he claims he is or what he's going to do.

McCain is not really who I want either; but at least I have some history to go on and some of that history I do agree with.
