Obama all the way. I think he has the balls to take this country in another direction, and 4 more years of a neoconservative administration with scandals left and right is very scary. We're most certainly experiencing another gilded age in terms of government corruption. Keith Olbermann summed it up perfectly: "Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland ... Bush."
What's funny is, if you asked me a few years ago, I would have been thrilled with a McCain Presidency, and I had hoped he would run in 2008. But then, he sold out. I absolutely feel betrayed. Here he played the maverick, the one who would do what was right even if his party disagreed with him, and then he comes out with this "surge is working" BS, and "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran," and this incessant negative campaigning (which he promised to avoid); then he bolted straight to the right. Now a McCain presidency scares the hell out of me. It's funny because I think if he had just kept to his principles, the Republicans would have had to stick to him because nobody else had a shot, and independents and even a lot of democrats would have flocked to him. He would have won in a landslide. Now he's just a crazy old man.
I guess most of all, I'm ashamed of myself for believing in him.
