IMHO, both are mediocre. - Mona N. via fftogo

The poll numbers seem to indicate that Mona's sentiment is common. I agree; they're both "not good". - Mattb4rd

I'm curious, what's mediocre about Obama? I don't think he's the best candidate ever, but I highly respect his character and the appearance that he'll truly listen to all sides of an issue and make an informed decision. I haven't followed his political career very closely, so I could be quite naive in my opinion (not about his character, but about his political skills). - Cheryl Jones

You have tapped into something that is very true online. Those that support McCain understand that he is not the best choice and is a flawed offering. Conversely, those online that support Obama are really smitten. This probably plays against McCain, as even the supporters are not as gung-ho. It worries me that many Obama supporters will not admit any weakness. - Eban Crawford

Obama has great vision...but, many people wonder if he will follow through. McCain doesn't really have great direction, but at least you know what to expect from him. - Sean McGee

Then again, when was the last time we had a "good" candidate? That's not a rhetorical question. I honestly can't think of one in recent history -- especially when you measure "good" by the measuring sticks that most of us are -- sticks that more often than not would disqualify you from national politics. - Steve Spalding

Obama has the personality but lacks some of the wisdom required. McCain lacks all personality but has some of the wisdom. They both have decent ideas and like most candidates, either don't actually have their ideas fully developed or suck at explaining them when required. I'm leaning Obama because he still has room to grow and the energy to do it, the House, Senate, Cabinet, and advisers should even out the lack of wisdom in certain areas (usually). Given all of that, I'd consider them both mediocre. - xero

This is going to sound absurd, but part of me believes that we would all be better off if they dropped their running mates and just ran together. - Kevin Donahue

Kevin: Couldn't agree more. That's been my sentiment since after the primaries. lol - Mona N.

Everyone I know who says we have two terrible candidates is voting for one of the other four. - Alan Cheslow

Palin is the deal breaker for me. The more you learn about her the scarier she is. That and I am not going to take another 4 years of this. If Obama doesn't work out at least we get a new direction until the next election. We need a change of pace. - Paulo via twhirl

I think we have only one candidate that makes sense for the future of this country, and his name doesn't start with J and end with N. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble

Alex, I agree, Jackson Brown is definitely not fit for presidency ;-) - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I just hope he's brought up to speed regarding oil geopolitics, energy, and our economy lol. At least he shifted his perspective on genocide, which is optimistic to say the least. Hooray for advisors and staff lol. - Mona N.

Mona, advisers and staff are *so* important. I wish they were required to publish a list of who they would like to tap for what to help voters make their decision. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

I can't vote, but I think we have 2 stupid candidates. Who would I vote for if I could? Obama for sure. Why? Because McCain is too old and the media is making Obama look better. - Michael Forian

Why do you label Obama as stupid? Because he got a law degree from Harvard instead of a PHD in physics from MIT? - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble

you are 100% wrong... even this thread is proving you wrong. many of the Obama people think he is an idiot. I think McCain is the best candidate to come around since Lincoln. I <3 the guy, but you see I'm a moderate that would vote for social spending if the economy were better. many of the people you are talking to are Republicans in better economies. for me if U got it: do good with it,but I don't get adding 800 Billion in spending when we are in debt 700 Billion and planning a bailout of another 700Bil - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Noah: since the part about the people I know in real life saying it is true, I'm technically not 100% wrong only 66% ;-) In the realm of idiocy, and in comparison with our current president (who I will grant is 'crafty'), I would in no way call either Obama OR McCain an idiot. I would say that they're both idealistic and naive, but that in no way connotes idiocy or stupidity. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Yeah, NDS's odd comment aside, I'd like to hear why people think that an obviously smart, well educated and knowledgeable person is stupid. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble

Are you sure Obama is naive? Or are you saying that because of his message of Hope, Yes We Can and One America? - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble

Calling -either- of them "stupid" seems like a gross simplification. - Steve Spalding

@Alex: It's scary that many seem to see intelligence as a flaw. I'm not saying he's brainiac the magnificent who has all the answers but ... why are so many so quick to throw mud on academic achievement. - AJ Kohn

IMO neither one of these candidates is strong enough, knowledgeable enough, or is willing to face the most important issues in America with a good, decent workable plan that won't drive us further into a hole. However, I'm voting for the one least likely to do damage in the next 4 years while we find a true leader who can make us strong economically and globally. Neither one will be able to do this. However, one will definitely put us in greater danger within the world, kill the middle class as we know - JMakesAwesomeSauce

it, and destroy the spirit of what America was and can be again. I fear for our country and its citizens. We are facing precarious times. This isn't meant to be fear-mongering. It's just how I see things. - JMakesAwesomeSauce

Alex, I say they're both naive (which IMO isn't necessarily a bad thing) for many reasons, one of which is the static nature of their tax plans in the face of the ever changing economic situation. But again, I think a certain amount of naivete is refreshing in a candidate, it makes it feel like there's some 'new blood', a new perspective coming in (and I think that his naivete is part of what draws some people to Obama). - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

Yeah, Tina I see where that's coming from and if he is actually naive, that will last about 5 seconds when he gets in to the White House. The thing about him is that he's shown incredible poise and cool under the pressure of the election circuit, unlike John McCain. The first term for any president is sink or swim time and John McCain looks like he's got lead weights attached to his feet and he's not wearing scuba gear. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble

the one thing I don't think Obama is.... is stupid... wake up people... the dude is SMART. Very Very Smart... if he were stupid I wouldn't fear him. you people who think you are voting for the Black Forrest Gump got another thing coming. Obama is going to cater to multi nationals like Soros. He is going to use America as a PR vehicle so the rest of the world can destroy itself while all eyes are looking at so called "Green" America. your eyes aren't on the ball. Obama is going to turn America into a a sorority sister in a soup kitchen... and you know what happened to Patty Hearst? - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Tina, I don't know if we can afford naivete anymore. Bush has been naive about a lot of things too and look where that has got us. - JMakesAwesomeSauce

No, GW wasn't naive, GW was just plain ignorant. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble

JMS, like I said I think McCain is naive in much the same way (i.e. his econ plan has also remained pretty static). Working from the standpoint that neither one of them has a totally clear picture going in (and really, which president has other than Wasington?), we have to rely on who the winner will chose for the cabinet. That's where the real wealth of experience comes into play. Bush's cabinet was in many ways a nightmare. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

about that cabinet.... http://xrl.us/ObamaFascist I'm not ready to pee sitting down just yet. as I said above "Obama is going to turn America into a a sorority sister in a soup kitchen... and you know what happened to Patty Hearst? " Stupid... right? not! - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Yeah, Tina...Nightmare on Main Street. Anyhow if he executes on a well thought out strategy for any one of our problems like how he's run his campaign, we should do OK. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble

@Eban: I don't understand how you interpreted my comment to mean that I don't admit Obama has any flaws. He's a politician. Politicians have flaws. Anyway, I could say the same 10 or a 100x over for McCain supporters. Many of his supporters don't even see his campaign's smear tactics as anything out of the ordinary. It's the worst hate mongering I've seen in an election. I haven't heard a lot of substance from him in the debates, either. And don't even get me started on Palin. - Cheryl Jones

All I can gather from McCain in the debates is that he's not willing to accept any kind of timeline to get out of Iraq (probably the biggest thing ailing our economy, beyond the housing bust). And he's adopting some plan to buy up bad mortgages that just benefits the banks again, and not the people struggling to stay in their homes. That $5k health care credit isn't the great idea he believes it is, either. At least Obama is willing to spend on education to help the US improve its dismal standings. - Cheryl Jones

His health care plan isn't all fleshed out, but it sounds more comprehensive than a $5k credit that won't even cover the average health care costs. Plus he seems to have a greater grasp at how important it is to use diplomacy. I don't believe McCain is going to use diplomacy as much as Obama would. Am I wrong in my impressions of the two candidates? - Cheryl Jones

Found a couple articles that flesh out health care details for both campaigns. I'll take back my argument about McCain's lack of health care details. I actually forgot about being able to buy insurance nationwide that he talked about in the last debate. According to this article, http://newsblogs.chicagotribun..., neither side's plans will result in noticeable improvements early on. It'll take a while for the money to become available due to the economy trouble. - Cheryl Jones

Also: http://www.latimes.com/feature... - Cheryl Jones

I don't think either are good but I'm voting for Obama, personally. - Soup

Its construction and installation is a collaboration between Yoko Ono, the City of Reykjavik, Reykjavik Art Museum and Reykjavik Energy. The work is in the form of a wishing well from which a very strong and tall tower of light emerges. The strength, intensity and brilliance of the light tower continually changes as the particles in the air fluctuate with the prevailing weather and atmospheric conditions unique to Iceland. Every year it will light up between October 9th (Lennon's birthday) and December 8th (the day of his death)." - Vincent X
