Well, I've been slowly gathering my thoughts about this politics thing. And in the meantime, McCain chose his running mate. Which makes me even more sure about my vote. So, if you want to know what I'm thinking...

( Here we go... )

So there it is. I like Obama. I like his stance on the issues. I like the fact that he wants to change not just our policies, but the very system that puts them into action. I like the fact that he seeks expert advice and listens to it. I like the way he speaks. I like the fact that he's funded his campaign largely through small private donations and a grassroots effort which has broken a number of records.

OTOH, I don't like McCain. I don't like his take on the issues - whatever it truly is. I don't like his hawkishness. I don't like the way he speaks. I appreciate that he's said some nice and respectful things about Obama and his supporters, but I don't like the fact that he's allowed so much of his campaign to be negative. I worry about what he'd do as president. I worry that it'd be four more years of Republican policies and politics as usual. And I'm not sure what to make of his choice of VP.

That's my take, anyway.
