The real problem in politics seems to me to be that when you vote for a person--you end up voting for his or her party also--and all the people that are in that party. In effect you're saying, ostensibly, that you give your approval to that party and everything it stands for. That's harsh.
Anyway, I listened to several of the RNC speeches tonight, and the fact remains that based on experience and substance, John McCain seems to have a very strong upper hand. If voting were based on charisma, Obama wins in a landslide. If voting is based on ability and experience, McCain comes out ahead. I can't wait for the debates (I'm betting we'll actually see fisticuffs at the vice presidential debate!).
I wonder how many other people are still making up their minds in this election.

I think a problem with politics is even more individualistic than that. If you vote for a person you are essentially voting for every thing HE or SHE believes in.
As for President, like on some football teams they have runningback by committee, we should have President by committee. We should vote on individual "issues" and then we would not have to expect one person to be a cure all. Just a thought. Would never acually work, but it would be interesting.
Yeah, by committee might be interesting, but mostly it would be frustrating for half and great for the other half.
I think that Keith just likes to relate EVERYTHING in life to FOOTBALL...
