I think absolutely because I cannot imagine McCain as our next president. I tend to favor the Republican party, but there is just something about him that I don't like. He's like the grumpiest old man alive and seems like a ticking time bomb. I think it's time for excitement in American politics. People, young and old, rich and poor, black, white and yellow are excited by his words. Perhaps they are only words, but he is getting Americans excited about the potential. I fear for our safety, but I think there is no way he will lose.

I think "ticking time bomb" was the takeaway from your argument!

For sure. Not only am I a democrat, but McCain is way too old! Check out this op-ed: How old is too Old? http://www.newsweek.com/id/105554

Definitely. Check out this music video created by supporter will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. Its great. Not like people are churning out videos like this for any of the the candidates.

Just because someone has the means to make an inspiring video and have famous people back him doesn't mean he will make a great president. Catchy ditties don't parallel leadership.

Barack should not be the next President. He is way too liberal of a figure and would have a very hard time uniting the bipartisan Congress, especially the more conservative Congresspeople.

Barack has the potential to be more of a uniter than either Clinton or McCain.

McCain will kill Obama. Dems don't know how to handle the war, and that's the challenge for this decade. Anybody who thinks differently needs to take a history lesson and get their head out of the sand. You want change and bombings everywhere? Vote obama. You want peace and a good life? McCain.

I think he may be the carismatic emerging "leader" in the book of Revelations....the anti-christ!?
