Its like Ford and Chevrolet, Coke and Pepsi,Tide and Cheer...the rivalry between Democrats and Republicans is going to be our downfall. Here we have two "presumptive" nominees for president - Mccain and Obama with absolutely nothing distinctive or defining between the two of them. Given the sound bites of the moment - McCain shifts left and Obama shifts right. McCain's economic advisor and supposedly - best friend says Americans are a "bunch of whiners" and Obama says immigrants shouldn't be learning English but that our children need to be learning Spanish. The fact the race is so close shows there is little difference between these guys.
Then there is Bob Barr. No sense in voting for him - he's ugly and wears funny looking glasses. He was one of the leaders in prosecuting Bill Clinton as well as former Republican Congressman Pat Swindal as well as serving as a former member of the CIA. Despite impeccable credentials in foreign policy and a sound domestic record - there's that funny photograph of him eating cheese made from his wife's breast milk - victim of a prank by Borat.
Despite the pundits, I believe Americans are a long way from making up their minds as to whom our next president is going to be. We need a choice. Unfortunately we don't have one yet.
