there will be an issue that comes up with you that will make your decision easy. I had that happen to me earlier this week, and as I lifelong Democrat I will not be voting for Obama but McCain. there really are huge differences between the two. She's not my first choice as a VP candidate but if God forbid soemthing were to happen she would have quality people around her to help advise her. She is less of a risk than Obama on certain issues domestically, foreign or moraly(sp). remember you vote for the top of the ticket.
