I am going to vote for Obama, I like is policies, his demenor, and I think he will bring a nice change to the current political enviornment.  I also think that McCain is an honorable man, if maybe running a dishonorble campaign who would also be a good leader for the country but has backward looking, dogma laden ideas about economics.

My wife is going to vote for Obama as well, she is less interested with politics, but likes Obama's general tone and dislikes McCain on account of general creepiness when he smiles, and also strongly dislikes Palin, she cannot figure out why anyone would want that woman as a potential leader for the country.

Now these are just two opinions, or rationals for voting preferneces, I think both are fairly well thought out and are based on real life issues and feelings.

I also know of some people voting for McCain.  One is my father, who thinks Obama is a black muslim terrorist who is anti-american and a socialist. (not like he is the one nationalizing the banks).  The other is a woman who also belives that Obama is muslim and anti-american, and also just might be the anti-christ. 

It just makes you think that for the first time in my life, I am voting for a candidate not because he is the lessor of two evils or because the other candidate scares me with his warped world view, but because I am truely supportive and confident he will do a good job.   Contrast that with the McCain voters, and I just would have to say without any hard polling on it, the nutjob ratio is way high for the GOP this year.  I mean really, that a person would actually bring up the possibility of the antichrist into a voting decision is insane.  Just wondering what you might have heard from McCain supporters, any other crazy rationalizations?
