Saw that. If I was backing McCain, I'd be pretty angry, too. At him. For being such a jerk.
From the article: "Supporters of McCain cite a dislike for Obama, dissatisfaction with the campaign's tone and frustration with how news organizations have treated their candidate."
I can buy that many do not like Obama, and I can certainly understand their dissatisfaction with the tone of McCain's campaign, but I still don't understand their position about how news organizations have treated McCain. I think there was a thread on this yesterday. Personally, I can't think of what McCain has done that's newsworthy and also positive. Is the media really biased against him? Or has he done little to generate news that is positive? At this point I can't quite tell, because, of course, I have my own bias.
I could have written this. I've been accused of bias even though I basically still consider Obama the lesser of two evils. I really would have preferred two good choices, and was ready to not demonize the republican this time around, but they've been truly horrible. The bulk of the McCain/Palin campaign strategy has been a codified appeal to racism and xenophobia. Yuck.
Does this mean you're close to making a decision?
Honestly, I don't know who I'm voting for for president.
It's down to 2 choices though.
