Well the easy answer is one wouldn't be inclined to vote for either one. So where does that leave us? What criteria does one use to select one over the other?
Both parties seem intent to position their candidate as a change agent. It has been Obama's theme from the beginning and McCain's recent VP choice is an effort to steal his thunder (plus get Hillary fanatics).
I don't think that either candidate will result in much real change but a vote for the Republican is essentailly a vote for no change unless one is hoping for a Palin Presidency in 2012 or sooner and probably more influence by the religious right.
You know my position is usually to vote for "none of the above" but this time I think I'll go for Obama. The change is more perception than reality but it is probably time to let the Democrats have the white house for a while and I think a black president would be good for a number of social reasons.
