I wish i could be of a bit more useful, at least when dead.

This is what i think about the election campaign. All the candidates, good or bad, right now are just making promises. They can only make promises for now. Campaign process is there best efforts to explain to you why they have decide to make certain promises and more importantly there only chance to prove to you how sincere they are when it comes to keeping these promises. So to me what this all means is I have to pick someone who I think has made the right promises and again, more importantly, whom I trust to be the one who will KEEP the promises. The later part is way more important than the first part because to me it feels like execution is where most of the politician have either lacked or plain simply forgot. And if you think about it, all politicians, in theory, are working towards the greater good of the country. So they are actually promising the same thing, by taking slightly different routes, ofcourse. So imho we should pick someone whom we can trust to be the one who would keep his promises. But see that's the scary part, this is like deciding to get married to someone, except in case of presidential candidates you are not going to meet them in person and you can't hold them and see if it feels right (well i see this as a good thing :-)). On a serious note, how can you decide you can trust a person basing your decision solely on one way communication. In this sense, its even more scarier than a marriage proposal, dnt you think ? But still we do play our fates. Sometimes we are right, sometimes we are not. People claim they based there decision on reasoning but I beg to differ. p.s. just for the record if I could vote, it be for Obama.
