Obama vs. McCain

After an exciting democratic primary season, where Obama came from no where to win the party's presumptive nomination away from the pre-preliminary season presumptive nominee, Hilary Clinton. Every couple of weeks there was another primary, the race was close and exciting.

Now the Obama vs. McCain Campaign season is just been plain BORING.

1) Young (age 46) vs. Old (age 71).

2) Computer User vs. Computer Illiterate.

3) Internet Campaign vs. Town Hall Meeting Campaign.

4) Changing Current Policies vs. Keeping Current Policies.

5) Getting out of Iraq vs. Staying in Iraq .

6) Fixing the Economy vs. Doesn't Know Much About the Economy .

7) YouTube and Blogs vs. Mainstream Corporate Network News.

8) Flip-flop (moving towards the middle) vs. Flip-flop (moving towards the right).

And then we have Obama fighting claims that he's a Christian that attended a black church for twenty years, he's a Muslim, he doesn't wear a flag pin on his lapel, and he hates his country .

Then we have McCain claiming he will be a better commander-in-chief because he was shot down and held captive in Vietnam. Personally, and I'm only guessing, but I think he be viewed as more intelligent if he was not shot down. How much intelligence do you need to be shot down? Then again, Intelligence isn't one of McCain's strong points. He was ranked 894 out of 899 in his graduating college class.

The bottom line is CHANGE is hard. Most people don't like change. Obama might present too much of a change, if so, then voters will vote for McCain. If voters are not afraid of change, then they'll vote for Obama. Simple as that.

The Economy (housing crisis, gas and food prices, potential recession) will trump the Iraq War, without a doubt during this election.

YAWN!!!
