He deserves to win IMO because he stands for the points closet to my heart.
Again. Define deserves.
I have no problem with you saying that Obama meets more of your selection criteria than McCain although i'm curious why you put NCLB ahead of the abortion issue. I thought you said in a previous post that that was KEY.
I do have a problem with Obama being entitled to win because he meets your selection criteria.
THat was a difficult choice to make, BT. It is one of the KEYs. It is. But, the nation's children, and our own future is at stake. We can not continue providing only three subject areas reading writing and math to millions of children. There is so much more to a quality education. If McCain mentions even once that he understands the broken act needs tweaked...he's probably going to be looking pretty good to me, as well. It's a tough one for me. But, for now the children DESERVE more.
In my opinion, Obama deserves to win because of his background. He is the first black male to run for president of the USA. Of course in that way, I feel he deserves to win. Who wouldn't feel that way. Obama deserves to win. You are entitled to your opinion about the word deserves.
In many ways, Obama is the 21st century's "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" candidate, in my opinion. Why not say a man deserves to be president? He deserves it more so than McCain, imo. Obama has in some ways worked harder for it than McCain, who lost the first time around to Bush. Seems that McCain did not have the ability to do it the first time around. How can anyone say that HE deserves a second chance? I am for the candidate who will bring a fresh approach to our country. Look how things have turned out for 8 years? Gas prices, war, education? Under Bush, the abortions just keep on keepin on, BT. So how will that really change under McCain, who is not nearly as "right" as Bush.
