I like and will vote for McCain, but have come to peace that Obama will be our next president, most likely. I hope he treats our military and its personnel right. I hope that an entirely democratic executive and legislative run government doesn't ruin our great country. It is too bad that many people don't vote on substance and what's best for the U.S., but rather on how they feel.
That said, I think McCain won this last-debate, but not by enough to change the inevitable of losing by a slight margin next month.
It ain't over until it's over.

Why don't you have a seat right over there.
Me too! Just substitute "will be" with "past 8 years" and "democrats" with "republicans".
Do you think anyone who votes for Obama is voting based on how they feel, rather than what they think it best policy-wise?
Time for me to go restock my kool-aid.
Oh and if people genuinely the majority of voters step into the booth informed about policies, I've got some kool-aid for you too.

I missed the first 30 minutes, but thought Senator McCain did well for the last hour.
Even CNN and MSNBC's analysts were calling it a draw when I saw them talk about it.

I think that many people vote for different types of wrong reasons, and that goes both ways: I've talked to religious people who are essentially poor and would financially do better by voting in a Dem actually vote republican because Bush doesn't like gay-marriage or abortions. And people who vote Dem because they are pro-choice, even though they are essentially along the republican lines on every other issue. In my original comment, I was mostly referring to Obama supporters who only like him because they hate Bush, neglecting to realize that the democrats have done no better while controlling congress. They also don't look at his record, but instead hang on every word that the press seems to love to highlight and emphasize. Some people who are voting for Obama are doing so because they are afraid of Palin, or mad that he chose her (I think that is ridiculous, since I see McCain as healthy and Biden as a far worse choice).
These have been hard times since 9-11, and any president would have been looked down upon while negotiating our country's future. I don't think that Obama will be our savior, but I do think he is better than Kerry was (I voted for Kerry), and that McCain is far better than Bush (and Obama).
We will have to wait and see, as these elections are always very close, but I am under the impression that people are eating up what Obama is saying and he will be our Commander in Chief. Of those Obama supporters, many don't look toward the future; they just want to get away from the past. We shall have to see what changes our likely-democratic leaders do for our nation’s future. -I still want McCain to win, but as I said I am at peace either way: I really think Obama will surprise me... I hope.
I don't know, at least this jargon makes sense to me.

I know you aren't the only one to think this, but is Biden any better? Since Obama smokes, I consider him "just as" risky as McCain when concerned with health.
I guess the good thing is that Palin solidified some of the unmotivated republicans, but many republicans definitely feel the same way as you do. Maybe it evens out...? I don't know. I do think that both candidates could have picked better VPs (Mit and Hillary, IMO).
