More on the Debates

We're 3 debates in and I have to admit that McCain's is in need of an amazing showing in the last debate. In my opinion, in addition to already being ahead in most polls, Obama won both presidential debates and Biden won the VP debate. I dont think they were landslide victories for the Democrats but they were victories nonetheless, building a little more on to that lead.

I have enjoyed following the race progress up to this point, but to me beginning about a week ago they delved into the finger pointing portion of the race. All along each candidate has pitched his stances and a portion of time pointing the finger at the opposition. As time as progressed it seems as though the focus on their own stances has lessened and the finger pointed has increased. Maybe that is just my perception, but that is how I see it. It was very evident in the last debate.

I will continue to follow the race and all it has to offer, but as I've stated in the past, my mind is made up and it would take something large to change it. For anyone just catching up, I neither Republican or Democrat. I like both candidates, and dont feel either is a bad choice...but much like a South Carolina native that is neither anit-Clemson nor anti-Carolina but must pick a side before the big game, there comes a time that a voter you must choose.

I'm not secretive about my views, but I haven't broadcast them either. Those that know me well, know that Obama has been my front-runner since way back when there was a stage full of candidates...but that doesn't mean that I was decided at that point. Since then, my support has solidified and the debates have done nothing to dissuade my opinions. I will support whomever wins an be happy about them as the leader of our country. Whomever it is will have their hands full, and I'm eager to see how he handles the situation.
