I was one of the people who voted for Obama that wasn't enamored by him. Hillary was more qualified but less charismatic.

McCain would be better as president than Bush, but after he picked Palin as his running mate, that sealed the deal for me. Dan Quayle was bad, but Palin makes him look like a genius.

I was just saying to my wife yesterday how I really like Sec. Clinton but I just can't stand watching her speak. She always comes off as artificial to me. Pres Obama might be charismatic but he's just not an effective leader and I think it's really going to hurt him come election time.

I don't know what Sen. McCain was thinking in picking Sarah Palin. I understand he was attempting to appeal to his base but there were just better options. Realistically he could have thrown a dart at a board with Republican names and made a better decision.
