I suppose this is a good problem to have

Now that the presidential race is narrowed down to McCain and Obama I am seriously torn between the two. I genuinely like both candidates but there are also areas where I have serious reservations about both candidates. Since the two are so far apart on so many issues, the choice would be obvious if I were a dyed in the wool conservative or liberal. Often my preference is swayed by who I listened to last. I believe both are honorable men and my hope is that this campaign will be about issues and not turn into the personal assassination that has been modus operandi in past elections.

Obama has come out and said that he will not do negative campaigning and has come out against 527's doing it for him. McCain, when the issue came up in north Carolina against Obama by the Republican Nat'l Committee, McCain said he didn't agree, but just can't stop others from doing negative campaigning....sure.....
I published an article from the Chicago Tribune that compares the candidates' positions on many issues. Please check it out:

McCain is liberal enough to catch some of the swing vote, and I honestly belive that he will be our next President.
Good stuff.
Thanks for the link.
The 527s on both sides will continue to do outrageous things. The 527s are one of those unintended consequences of campaign finance reform.
I hope the candidates will come up with something more intelligent than "Obama will raise your taxes" and "McCain will be four more years of Bush". McCain's idea of a series of town hall meetings is a sensible proposal.
