can't say I like any of the candidates... from outside even McCain looks good but net celebrity Ron Paul is missing

Paul may shake the general election up a bit, to McCain's detriment. I once liked McCain, but he's not who he then appeared to be.

I see too many contradictions in Obama, and religion is probably the biggest of them. He seems to lie a bit too much even for a politician..

Hmm...guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. I see Obama as having the least contradictions, and the most likelihood of success.

I hope so. Just telling my outsider POV from Europe.

I hope so, too. I'd like to see the reputation of the US improve, along with real action to change foreign policy. Thanks for the POV!

PS - It's odd for me as well. I don't live in the US and have traveled so much in the last 5 years people in the US questioned my POV.

if youtube flicks count, I've seen too many flicks of Obama saying something and the complete opposite too many times

and McCain having the personality to keep an anti-rep. stance on hot issues like Cuba, in front of a hall full of reps...
