John McCain 2008
Why? Mainly because he's the only candidate who rises above ideology and partisan bickering to get things done for the good of America. Read on for more reasons why John McCain is the best candidate for US President this year.

Leadership
As a Naval aviator, McCain flew 23 combat missions over Vietnam before he was shot down and captured as a POW. While a POW, McCain was given the choice to be released early but chose to stay because other American POWs had been held captive longer.
After 5 and a half years of captivity McCain was finally released and returned home. He recovered from his injuries and regained his flight status. Then he commanded one of the Navy's largest attack squadrons.
In Congress, McCain has fought hard to eliminate pork barrel spending. He's challenged Republicans and Democrats to work together in Congress and has led by example in doing so.
John McCain Puts The Needs Of America First
Over personal and party interest.
"I understand who I work for. I don't work for a party. I don't work for a special interest. I don't work for myself. I work for you."

John McCain Was Right On Iraq
Health Care
Unfortunately, Obama is proposing a government managed health care plan that would create another huge bureaucracy and cost taxpayers dearly.

John McCain would have brought real change to Washington,
not Barack Obama. Obama is nothing but a fake. When it comes
time to vote in November 2012, you will see what I mean.
Barack Obama is running us into deeper debt with higher taxes.
John McCain would have decreased government spending with lower
taxes. This means that he would have reduced our government
debt level. Believe me, I know what I am talking about.

McCain was most definitely the right choice for America, wether the media says so or not. Obama WILL prolong the depression we're in right now, because he's using the exact same strategy Roosevelt used back in the Great Depression (research does show that now). Plus, McCain
was against abortion. I'm a Catholic, and that alone already had my vote.
Too bad I'm only 13.

In reply to "one who knows better".
That was completely ignorant. Electorates are merely representatives of the peoples vote. They vote according to how the people vote and the electorate vote may end up uneven because of the way the population as a whole voted within that state. Electorate representatives are given to each state based upon the population of that state. You see electorate vote holds no advantage over the general population vote. It was created in the early days of our Republic when communication was difficult so they had an electorate go to Washington and represent the general vote.

One Who Knows Better says:
You should have a button that says "I'm not voting because my vote doesn't count" as it doesn't. It's the Electoral votes that count and we know who they have been paid by. If I was to waste my time voting it would be for McCain as he is the better man

I can't wait to put my vote in for McCain. What a hero!
Anyone who votes for Barack Hussein Obama is clearly ignorant
and does not have America's best interest in mind. Thanks to
the leadership of George W. Bush and our awesome troops, we have not had an attack
on our soil since 9/11.

ignorance sucks says:
I do not mean this in any way as disrespect to soldiers of the US. What John McCain did as POW shows bravery, courage, and immense patriotism. But, simply put, this would not necessarily make him a good president. I disagree with his stands on most issues not to mention his hot headed attitude. Ontop of this, he chose Sarah Palin as is running mate, a complete joke in the political world. Sarah Palin is so far right she's wrong. Obama 08
PS Charlotte Newman- what does the fact that he's a christian have to do with anything? Isn't America built on the concept that religion has nothing to do with how you are treated? Don't tell me you are that low...

From a surplus to the largest deficit in history.
Massive foreclosures.
An unnecessary war that continues to bleed our economy.
Thousands of American soldiers killed for no reason.
Many more thousands of Iraqi citizens killed, and they did nothing to us.
Unbridled abuse of executive power.
Our future mortgaged to the Chinese.
Anxious to start a war with Iran.
McCain voted with Bush over 90% of the time. And you believe he will change anything? Puh-leeze.
...and then there's the Keating Five. He has no ethics and lectures about changing corruption in Washington. Unbelievable.
...and how about his personal life? Cheated on his wife. No morals either.

His health care policy is basically the same as we have now. He scares me when it comes to his "hawkish" views and his VP choice pandered to the religious right and Palin is the polar opposite of Hillary Clinton in every conceivable way. John McCain has embraced Bush Policys, Said "we will be in Iraq for 100 yrs", will "talk tough in Washington" and be another joke to the rest of the world who is praying that America actually returns to being the America it was prior to Reganomics. His campaign has 95 different lobbiest all jockying for their tax cuts and it's just the same ole "shady" deals on K street that we have had for the last 8 yrs. The addition of Palin make him appear desprete and also shows that he really believes women and Americans, in general are stupid. This is not change....it's the same. 8 is enough (actually 20 yrs of the GOP, with the exception of Carter and Clinton who had Republican Congresses) is quite enough. I want my country back from the thieves who turned Bagdad in the "Galleria at Halliburtan Square". No way McSame!

Suz says:
I'm voting for Barak Obama because it's time for some real change in Washington, some real progress on our disastrous economic situation left to us by the Bush White House, and time to bring an appropriate and responsible end to a war that never should have started. McCain and Palin are saying they will work for the good of the American people and it won't be the same old "Washington as usual" but McCain has voted with the current administration over and over again...that IS "Washington as usual." Furthermore, a vote for Sarah Palin, who is no more qualified than I to take over the presidency in a tragic instance, is NOT a vote for women, women's rights, or the good of this country. She is a pawn, being used by the GOP to try to fool women into supporting McCain. And she is complicit in her own tokenism simply because it feeds her own political ambition. Well, I'm a woman and I'm not fooled.
Obama-Biden 2008!

No. If he can't control his temper, I don't know. I look a lot at the spouse of a candidate, too, as they will live at the white house and have a lot of influence there! His wife runs a huge alcoholic company, and I heard she stole funds meant for charity?

What About The Competition?
- Ron Paul - He has some good proposals on reducing the federal government and getting it back in line with the Constitution. He also has some that aren't so good. Ron Paul can continue to best serve America in Congress. We need more representatives there who believe in smaller government.
- Barack Obama - I like that he tried to run a positive campaign that didn't take the low road of "win at all costs" politics. But I don't agree with most of Obama's policy positions and he has little experience to back up all the talk. His lack of foreign policy experience is unsettling and his record of non-votes in the Illinois legislature would tick me off if I was a resident of that state. He has created a cult of personality that is very disturbing.
- Ralph Nader - He's running again? Good for him.
- Bob Barr - Former Congressman Barr is the Libertarian Party candidate.

John McCain Selects Sarah Palin For VP
Governor of Alaska
John McCain selected the governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Palin has a record of executive experience fighting special interests and political corruption. Here's more info on Governor Palin...
Sarah Louise Palin (; née Heath; born February 11, 1964) is the Governor of the American state of Alaska.
Palin was a member of the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992 to 1996 and the city's mayor from 1996 to 2002. After an unsuccessful campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Alaska in 2002, she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 until her resignation in 2004. She was elected Governor of Alaska in November 2006. Palin is the first female governor of Alaska and the youngest person elected governor of that state.
Palin was the Republican Party's vice-presidential nominee for the 2008 United States presidential election, on the ticket with Senator John McCain. Palin was the second female candidate and the first Alaskan candidate of either major party on a national ticket, as well as the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party. Since the McCain-Palin defeat in the 2008 election, there has been speculation that she will run for president in the 2012 presidential election.Palin Fascination, Scorn Shows No Sign of Receding - Political News - FOXNews.com
On July 3, 2009, Palin announced that she will not be a candidate for re-election in 2010 and that she would resign the Office of Governor effective July 26, 2009.?Governor Palin Announces No Second Term, No Lame Duck Session Either,?

I would've preferred Romney, but there was never any question that I would vote for the Republican, and Gov. Palin was several cuts above our current VP. I would trust her decision-making abilities over the current WP occupant.

As a Canadian, I do not know very much about your candidates. This, however, looks like a nice discussion of McCain. I have just created a page on a lighthearted election theme, "Joe Biden, John McCain, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin Cabbage Patch Dolls" and I have linked your page to my 'More Reading on the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election' section and lensrolled it as well.
