On a head-to-head between John McCain and Barack Obama, who would you vote for and why?

Question

Supposing they are the nominees for their respective parties and there is no independent running.

Answer 1

McCain. He has been through the fires in the military and politically and come out clean. He has the experience, has never become arrogant, untruthful or scandalous.

Obama is a novice.

Would you rather have a world renown cardiac surgeon or an intern give you a heart transplant. This comparison would be on the same level.

Answer 2

I would definately vote for McCain, but I must also state. When Obama gets more experience and learning under his belt, he would be a tempting candidate for me. He is well spoken and seems very intelligent, just inexperienced. Which to me explains why he has such Liberal views. I believe as he ages he will probably become more moderate in his thinking.

Answer 3

I would lean towards Obama. McCain is too attached to Bush's war efforts and military planning, particularly on the Surge idea. I think Obama is more moderate and prone to listen to all sides before making decisions. Both men have made mistakes in their campaigns, but not too serious ones. If both were to run, at least character wouldn't be an issue to worry about. Both guys are decent and honorable men. I think we need a change, and I believe who they would choose as VP would mean a lot to me. But if it was just those two, I'd pick Obama because we need fresh ideas.

Answer 4

Obama offcourse.
McCain as we read in the opinion above is too attached to Bush's war and these types are those whom the pride bug has bitten and they sit in large offices with a coterie of secretaries and offcials and say we have Accomplished a Mission, we are just cleaning up the place etc. In reality they are oblivious of the ground situations, the heart breaking scenes in someones house who have just got the information of the demise of a loved one. Today McCain went to Iraq and blames the media and says everything is under control oblivious of the fact that 7 coffins will be arriving in USA and this is the media it may be 7++. The Bush's, the MCCain's, the Cheney's, the Gonzalez's etc are playing a dirty game to hide the reality from the naive American public and pushing this country into deeper and deeper problems. Their very speeh is questionable because they lie in articualte manners with the word guilt not existing in the dictionaries they refer to.If Mccain is war hero give him another purple heart and a few from all of us but we do not want the McCains, Guilianis, nor the Hillary's this is spent force they can be asked to give expert advise in TV Reports from CNN, FOX TV etc. Folks please apply for these posts or the managers at these TV stations we ask you hire these guys to bullshit on your stations. Please we will pay them compensatory service charge for getting them of our backs.

We need honest, clean, fresh, non political, bold, energetic, new face like Obama to lead us minus the dirty lying experience, minus the dirty war mongering attitude, minus the steal and make hay while the sun shines attitude which we see.
We need Obama to pass a legislation after he takes the presidency to bring in an age bar of 60 years for any government office after that they can go back to their ranches and take care of the cattle or hunt pigs or stay indoors better still join some senior citizen home. We don't want the sly, wily politicians whose hypocrisy has made many a common American sick and depressed.

Answer 5

I wouldnt vote for either one but if i had to pick one it would be McCain because Obama I have heard has hallucinations and flashbacks from all the dope he did earlier in life and I certainly wouldnt want a druggie at the nuclear button.

Answer 6

Obama.

Because McCain's too wrapped up his own fantasies about the war in Iraq--and he's too much like Bush in this stage of the campaign.

Answer 7

Obama is another Clinton that will restore intergrity to United states tarnished and bushed-up image.Even on a vey good day and in a democratic setting obama is the next big thing ,but racism is still lingering even in the USA to vote a perfect blackman,instead they will bring another son or daughter of some oil mechant in Texas and rig him into the White house

Answer 8

Obama...he is young, very intelligent and very well spoken. He is likely to have new ideas to help this country.

Answer 9

Obama, we need a fresh face. Samo, samo is just business as usual, and that is what we got now that isn't working so well. .

Answer 10

Sure Obama ... actually I like him. He is a smart person and I like his political views.
McCain is Ok for republican. I like his postion about illegals ... but as I said he is a republican guy ... and I do not wanna see their faces no more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
