I don't have the ability to upload a video but the reason I'm voting for Obama is because he is actually running a campaign based mostly on HOW he will try to fix what's wrong with the economy and with DC. McCain and Palin just keep going on and on about how Obama associates with terrorists. They are like dogs with a favorite chew toy. No matter how many times it has been stated and proven that there was, at best, a slender thread of association between Ayres and Obama, and not a direct one, at that, they keep screaming how he has to "come clean" about it. McCain and Palin are their own worst enemies as well as the worst thing that has happened to the Republican Party since the dirty tricks politics of Nixon.

Obama has run his campaign well. It's not an organization with multiple heads running off in different directions. He's not constantly clarifying what some stupid branch of his campaign has done in order to limit damage. It's a tightly run ship. If he can run his campaign this well, he will be running the Administration well.

You can't say the same for the McCain campaign. It's all over the place.

Obama breaks promise on campaign finance

# Story Highlights
# Campbell Brown: Obama pledged to accept public financing last year
# But, she says, he switched when he realized he could earn more on his own
# He's rolling in dough earned on a broken promise

Quote:

One year ago, he made a promise. He pledged to accept public financing and to work with the Republican nominee to ensure that they both operated within those limits.

Then it became clear to Sen. Obama and his campaign that he was going to be able to raise on his own far more cash than he would get with public financing. So Obama went back on his word.

On this issue today, former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, an Obama supporter, writes in The New York Post, "a hypocrite is a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue -- who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. And that, it seems to me, is what we are doing now."
Just another politician corrupted by money.

A large number if not most in the mainstream Republican Party also did not. McCain voters were mostly Republican moderates and independents. That is a serious McCain's problem - schizophrenia in his campaign. McCain is a moderate. His party is dominated by extremists which is why Palin had to be forced on his ticket. McCain had near zero support from Republican extremists.

It is a real shame what Republican power brokers have done to McCain who previously represented the interests of moderate and independent Americans - not who those party power brokers represent.

Unfortunately, a major McCain defeat may only further entrench Republican extremists at the expense of Republican moderates - such as McCain.

Why didn't he pick someone like Condi? Surely she would have been a better choice than Palin.

McCain's list of possible VP candidates (which was under review long before the choice was made) included Romney, Lieberman, and another major name I currently cannot remember. McCain's choices were completely changed when Republican Party mainstream power brokers began taking seats in his campaign. They needed one of their own and only had a week to find one. It explains why Palin was so poorly vetted.
