It's easy to forget that you are not voting for a single person. but an entire government. An Obama government would mean a whole new group of people, a new generation taking over every single branch of the U.S. government. Young people with new ideas. Looking at the people around McCain, a McCain government would mean little more than replacing the guy at the top. Maybe you like McCain more than Bush, but do you really like how the Republican gov has run thing the last 8 years?
A lot of Republicans are saying that Obama is a "socialist," and its true that he comes from the left part of the party, even though his beliefs are not close to socialism. But in his temperarment, he is incredibly reasonable and always looking for compromise, which I think is a good formula for getting things done. He ran the most efficient, no BS campaign out of the three candidates, McCain's campaign overspent itself and crashed and burned in 2007, he pretty much was handed the nomination because all the other options were so bad. Hillary showed an incredible sense of entitlement and lack of planning and failed to anticipate Obama. Out of the three, Obama has shown the best managerial skills and the best judgement.
