As a Republican for 40 years, and one who has stuck by the side of President Bush through it all, (including doing work in Europe where there is great antipathy towards the last administration...and defending the policies of our President), I finally have to concede that if I stand back and look intelligently at the situaton, John McCain is not exhibiting the signs I need to see to have confidence that he is the right man to lead our troubled country and deal with the most complex international situation in my life-time. He is displaying a recklessness that has made me decide I will, for the first time ever, vote Democrat. The stakes are too high to leave him the possibility to continue to make decisions which affect the entire planet. Palin is an unintelligent and uncaring choice. Lets drop all the good mom talk and just look at the facts.....she is not competent......cannot be, is not, will not be and should not be allowed to be that close to the reigns of the most powerful country in the history of the planet....the stakes are too way too high. McCain is actually too old for the job (and has history of cancer) and the thought of Sarah running the country (she has never even traveled out of America) (she was part of an organization that wanted to secede from the US (this is true…read about Alaskan Independence Party)), is simply not right . lets put aside our partisan, emotional personalities aside for a moment that are in frenzy and frothing and then lets look through objective, impartial eyes and see what is obvious. I personally cannot find anything to really object to in Obama when I compare him to a McCain/Palin ticket. To have been President of the Harvard Law Review takes some serious brains. He is charismatic and has what it takes to open the world up to listen to and trust America......much more than John McCain does. It took me a few days to get over just being stubbornly partisan and to listen to a voice in myself that is more intelligent than the reactive, emotional anti-democrat. To think about my grandson and what will give him the best opportunity to live in a peaceful and safer world…the choice became obvious. Go Obama

Sarah scares this Republican
