Let’s stop dwelling at the obvious: Obama is black, McCain is white, and Palin is a decent looking female.  We need to focus on the issues. People shouldn’t lean for McCain because he’s white, just like people shouldn’t lean for Obama because he’s  black. Nor should they support Palin simply because she is a woman.

Do physical factors, such as a person’s skin color, provide the answer to issues like the energy crisis? No, the person does. To learn more about where the candidates stand, check out these links (the bottom right corner of the page lists the issues, you can also check out other basic info on the candidates too)…

See what Obama is all about…

The best thing voters can do right now is educate themselves. Attacking others won’t get us anywhere. Cover the issues and consider the factors (like the potential eight years your choice can be in office). Being informed doesn’t only help America, it helps YOU too.

Finally, I would like to wrap this up with a video I enjoy. I’m not posting this to favor one candidate over the other. I’m posting this because I think Campbell Brown does a fine job in providing a simple message that everyone can learn from. So listen and enjoy.
