I figured I'd start a thread for random discussion and articles on the 2008 U.S. election, since we know now who the 2 big party candidates are.

Have at it!

I'll start. I thought John McCain was rather quiet on his war record before and downplayed and stayed quiet on things that many people could find heroic. His 1st TV ad it out and he's quiet on it no more. Probably good timing.

Also seems smart to me to push the "I hate war" angle since some people are comparing him to Bush and insinuating he's a Republican warmonger or something related.

That's right. I'm glad the candidates haven't played their respective race/gender/war cards. As it stands, I think this is going to be a close race.

I think McCain will play a smart race.  Up until now, it's been best to let the two Dems fight it out.

I'm afraid the Media did that for them.

Yes but the thought depresses me.  One can hope though .

What does Barack Obama bring that is different?
