The following issues I will research on Obama and McCain and then tally +'s under the candidate that most closely matches my views:
Obama on immigration (from his website) very general when compared to McCain's. It is a must read for yourself. So on this issue McCain gets the +
Obama on Health Care (from his website)and McCain(his website) it's a draw. Both good in theory but a direct drain on US Treasury in the hundreds of billions. no win
Obama on ProLife vs Choice is Choice/including partial birth abortion. I agree with Choice/ but the difficult decision a woman faces can be made in the first trimester, and not at the point the baby can survive but has its brains sucked out in the partial birth abortion. McCain is Prolife, and plans to appoint Supreme Court Judges that are Prolife to overturn Roe vs. Wade and allow each state establish its own ruling on abortion vs. prolife. So, although this is the most difficult one for me, I have to side with McCain.
Well, there are 23 more issues listed on each candidates site, and I will continue to read, study, and tally. But for today's immediate issues of interest for me, it's a draw. I'm right back where I began. I hope with all the home computers and internet access, all voters will do their own investigation. Although our nation does need a leader that is respected, intelligent, and verbally charismatic, do consider the facts in black and white, not sugar coated to intice the tv audiences. Also go to http://www.factcheck.org/ a very skilled nonpartisan, not for profit group of diligent volunteers.

Don't tally with McCain too soon. Obama has a lot of really interesting things to say on the abortion issue. And it's not that he supports partial -birth abortion. He opposed a bill that would prosecute doctors who opposed partial birth abortion as criminals. He actually sounds like he's against it in general, but more importantly he wants to focus on ways of avoiding the decision to have an abortion all together, which is exactly what we need. Look at the web site I posted above. Many of his answers could be a way to get out of the crazy stalemate we're in with this particular issue. And his main point, which I love, is that the people on both sides of the issue are most likely moral people. We are just looking at it from different angles. We need to get a new angle if we're going to make any headway. Love you! :)
