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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1OUxBvlLr0 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.

Only a true warrior abhors war.

Black Owl (6/8/2008) Only a true warrior abhors war. 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 think we all know that Barack Obama is going to be our next president. Yes but the thought depresses me. One can hope though . I like the old dude but even I am starting to think it may be time for something different. What does Barack Obama bring that is different?
