The Way I See It...

The way I see it Obama should drop out of the race and Sarah Palin should run against John McCain...talk about having a choice, now that would be real change!

Why any red-blooded American would consider Obama is beyond comprehension. Obama would change our Judeo-Christian heritage for a Marxist-Muslim government dominated by Sharia law. - Norman E. Hooben

Exclusive: Obama and Palin – Side by Side

How do they stack up?



Barack Obama is supposed to be running against John McCain, but with the entrance of Sarah Palin onto the national political stage, it seems as though the race is now between these two political powerhouses.
Much has been made of Obama’s judgment to lead in spite of his youth and relative inexperience. Likewise, much has been made of Palin’s unfitness to be first in line to the presidency because of her youth and relative inexperience. Therefore, it might be helpful for voters to take a look at their qualifications on key issues side by side in order to make a more informed choice at the polls in November.
