It depends on who decides this election: The American People or the Supreme Court.
That being said, I do honestly believe the John McCain is a good man. Had he got the Republican nominee, even as a life long Democrat (My Father is a life long Union pipe fitter/welder and my mother was a Teacher. All three of us have belonged to Unions and let's face it: Republicans are NOT for organized labor.) I honestly would have had a hard time deciding between him and Gore.
And while it's pure speculation, I doubt we'd be in Iraq if John McCain had been in charge after 9/11.
But it's 8 years later, the Economy is heading towards recession, half the world hates us, gas is ridiculous, and while "major combat operations" ended years ago, we are stuck trying to hold the fort in Iraq while Iraqis try and get their **** together by shooting at each other (& US).

While I do think McCain would bring about a lot of change compared to W, his economic policies & policies on Iraq, as well as his willingness to work with EVERYONE involved in Iraq, would be similar.
I think Obama represents the best chance to "solve" Iraq and get a TRUE multinational coalition in there, thus reducing our troop levels. His economic policies will benefit myself and the rest of the middle class. And, compared to McCain, Obama has a better chance at mend the international wounds inflicted by George W. Bush and co.
I do love my country, but we're simply spread out too much at the moment. We're sticking our noses in things that are pissing off the rest of the world, all the while China continues to grow stronger.
What happens if we **** them off while we're in Iraq?
