- While I have only recently begun learning about the 2008 presidential election, I have so far found McCain to be a more worthy candidate. I am constantly crossing the line between the Democratic and Republican parties in terms of how I agree with their positions. For example, I fully support the pro-choice movement, which is associated with the Democratic Party. However, I am also drawn to the plans of national defense that John McCain would bring with him to the presidency. Overall, I think that I lean towards McCain because I trust his experience more so than that of Obama.
- On the topic of energy, Obama supports developing clean coal technology where McCain is interested in harnessing the energy of nuclear power. In my opinion (biased by my fathers strong thoughts on the subject) if President Carter had not destroyed the research efforts of nuclear power, our country would be in a much better position (in terms of energy) today. If McCain were to become president, I believe he would be very efficient in taking care of the issues that our country is having with our involvement in Iraq. Obama has always been opposed to the war, and has proposed a plan for withdrawal. McCain on the other hand, intends to take the opposite route of ending the war responsibly instead of just fleeing and leaving Iraq in ruins, as Obama is suggesting.

Casey,
I totally agree with every point you mention about the differences between Obama and McCain. Being a fellow McCain supporter, I agree with the fact that if he became president he would take care of the energy issues in the US. Awesome blog. Peace out.
Casey,
you seem to have lots of facts behind your opions and you have a very informative blog, but why is staying in Iraq a good thing when it has caused way more damage than good?
