Obama v McCain Part 2

Ok, so both of the candidates aren’t much chop.

Who’s going to win the election?

For me, McCain.

The weakness of the economy means that people  are going to be much more inclined to entrust the nation into a “safe pair of hands”, so to speak.

Obama speaks well but the criticism that he’s not much more than hot air is reasonably true. Many of his policies sound nice but are riddled with a lack of true understanding of how the world works which is so typical of Democrats.

While the Republicans are not very well liked by anyone right now, and everyone thought the Democrats were basically guaranteed the Presidency, it no longer looks anything like that.

While McCain is old, and incredibly boring to watch as a speaker, he’s been careful to cultivate an image that he is not part of the “Republican establishment”, painting himself as a maverick who is always trying to do what is right, above the dirty partisan politics.

Overall I don’t really think that he brings much as a candidate, but he brings just enough, in my opinion, to beat Obama.
