What's a Poor Thinking Girl To Do?

Now that the presidential campaign is in full swing, I have been hearing tons upon tons of "vote for me" ads, but so far I have yet to hear something that absolutely convinces me to vote one way or the other. I plan to vote this year - I always do. In fact, I love to tell how I missed out on a great steak dinner with my family to wait 3 hours, in heels, very pregnant, in the cold to vote in the last election, and I would do it all again. Yeah, I was pretty pissed that everything I voted for lost, but hey, at least I earned the right to gripe about it. Anyway, I've been listening to all the ads. While I have to respect that McCain's ads have all been positive (not much mud-slinging going on there), they are very vague. "Vote for me and Palin because we are just the awesomest! Yep, we are great." Unfortunately, they are not really tellling me a lot about what they will do if they get to run this great nation of ours. Contrary-wise, Obama's campaign ads seem to run a-plenty with mud, but they are at least informative. From them, I understand that McCain said that the answer to the homeowners' in crisis due to the economic downturn is to, "skip their vacations and get second jobs." While that is very Dr. Phil of him, it is not very practical, nor is it very sympathetic to the realities of these homeowners. I also understand that he voted against an initiative that would provide equal pay to women in the workplace, stating it would "place a burden on business" and that "women simply need to seek out more training and education." That's right, ladies - we earn 23% less in the workplace than our male counterparts. How very sexist-pig of him. What say you, Mr. McCain, to a woman who finds herself facing financial hardship? Should she get 2.46 jobs and spend the rest of her waking hours furthering her education? That said, Obama has yet to clue me in on how he would address these issues himself. I find it interesting that McCain would chide Obama for his lack of experience and then appoint a vice president with her own lack of experience with which to contend. I also have noticed that the media has never missed an opportunity to point out untoward remarks made by Obama's pastor, yet McCain's own spiritual advisor called the disaster caused by Katrina in New Orleans "a punishment for the support of gay rights." From what I can find, they are both in support of a wall built to stop the flow of illegal immigration. This is one of the most stupid ideas I can think of for somebody to support. So far, the campaign has left me apalled by the idea of voting for McCain, so I will probably be voting against him, in favor of Obama. But can somebody please tell me what I would be voting for?
