This presidential election cycle had been one of the longest in recent memory, mainly as a result of the tediously dragged out Democratic Primaries. This partly explains why I am sort of bothered and bewildered to come across a Rasmussen Report indicating 9% of the sample to be undecided a mere hours before the actual polling booths open.
Whatever your pet issue, it is simply ridiculous that you have not made up your mind who best to lead the country after the conventions and the four debates. On all the crucial issues, e.g., the economy, the war, abortion, judicial appointments the candidates’ position could not be put in any clearer contrast than they have propounded at these events.
Let us revisit these issues for refreshers:
The war: McCain was for the surge and victory, Obama for cut and run and negotiate.
Economy: both voted for the bailout. Obama is for “spreading the wealth around,” McCain is for growing the wealth.
Abortion: Obama for on-demand availability; McCain for parental consent restrictions.
Foreign Policy: Obama wants to make us more like Europe; McCain believes in American Exceptionalism.
Energy Policy: McCain is for oil drilling domestically; Obama believes domestic oil production is pointless.
After all these, if you have not made up your mind yet, why don’t you just close your eyes and pull the lever for McCain /Palin. After all, you seem to not know what you want, anyway!
