Obama + Hillary == No Vote; McCain + Romney == No Vote

Like many of the Nation's "younger" voters, I find Obama's views on the economy and foreign policy quite appealing... if he weren't pro-abortion, I'd vote for him without hesitation. This presidential election has the potential to build a dynasty out of whoever is elected -- this president will probably get to appoint a chief justice, and will get to appoint new Federal Reserve officers... these are not trivial events. Moreover, we are at a dangerous time in our nation's history: the dollar is declining, oil is skyrocketing, we've done nothing about our dependence on foreign oil, China and India are rising in the East, Europe's influence on the world is ebbing severely (because they have not sufficiently reproduced) and the problems facing the world-over are broader than ever before. How our next president handles this tumultuous politiscape is going to shape -- good or bad -- our future for generations to come.

That said, could I vote for Obama? I don't know. Could I vote for McCain? I don't know. I think a lot of my decisions depend on who either of them select as a running mate. The next couple of weeks will be interesting, because I expect to see both candidates announce their running mate and that will solidify who I'll vote for, regardless of what else transpires on the campaign trail.
