I have not had a lot of nice things to say about John McCain. Watching the debate tonight though, there is only one clear choice for me. McCain demonstrated restraint, integrity and experience in this debate. I thought McCain schooled Obama on small business, foreign policy, and health care. Interesting to me was how Obama’s criticism of McCain’s health care plan was that it would be the end of employer-based health insurance. Hallelujah! If only. I really think that would solve a lot of problems. I do not agree with the analysis of the debate that I saw. To me it appeared that Obama was on the defensive quite a bit and McCain was the one who was pretty fluid and calm. But what do I know, I actually want McCain to win. As I’ve said on many occasions, its painful to have a stake in the election. At one point it didn’t appear to matter who won. But now that the economy is in the toilet and it appears that tough, tough times are ahead I can not imagine a bigger disaster than to have an Obama Presidency to further plunge us into chaos. Well, its pretty much out of my hands. I know who I’m voting for. Whatever America decides I hope we’re paying attention right now. Vote wisely!
