>>440362 One very apt measurement of ability is the ability to inspire, but so far, that's all he's shown us. Much of what he has been riding on so far this election is a bunch of the "CHANGE" he spouted at the beginning, and people swallowed that down because all they knew was that they wanted change from Dubya, which is what he promised, though good change or bad change was sort of left ambiguous. It's only now, in the latter stages of the election, that he has actually promised to do things and not just list general hopeful actions he wants to take. However, some of the things he wants to do are a bit on the "Unconstitutionally Large Amount of Powers in One Man's Hands" side, or are things that, indeed, would begin to rip this country apart in terms of general economic wellness.
That's not to say, however, that McCain doesn't have his own faults; The guy is trying to appeal to the sense of patriotism that this country lost after Vietnam. It's not there, and it's working less and less. His policies though, I think, are a bit better suited to what needs to be done now. That's not to say one of them won't suddenly have a drastic policy change that'll make me switch who I'm voting for.
I'm a Centrist, and I'll vote for whoever'll provide what's best for the country as a whole. I don't care if they're Republican or Democrat, as long as they seem like they'll get more shit done. Oh, and both guys are a bit on the ball-less side, if you ask me. This election was full of generally spineless people from the start.
