OK, take note. *I'm* voting for McCain, unless something really odd happens between now and then to change my mind.

I don't see Obama's prescription for America as being the right one. McCain isn't much better but if he can energize the Congress, where the REAL power is (and if the electorate can elect enough similar leaders), we might get something useful done.

But everyone is worried about electing the figurehead and no one is even able to tell who is running for the House and Senate in their district. 90% is voters don't even know what district they live in.

Around here, it's hard for me to poll people and discuss rationally because El Paso is a bastion of Democrats in a Republic of Republicans. Also half of the residents speak no English.

My wife isn't good enough to translate anything not written down. Pity, I'd love to talk to my crazy neighbor about their Mastiff breaking loose, freaking out my dogs and chasing cars and people down the street.
