conceding, but not

After watching the last debate, seeing the economic dive and watching the candidates' reactions, and seeing the amount of advertising being done by both parties, I can concede that Obama is probably going to be the next president. If he isn't, the media, all dressed up in their Obama cheerleading outfits, sure is providing a great smokescreen...but it wouldn't be the first time.

Having said that, I won't vote for him. I can't. He and I fundamentally disagree on way too many points. I don't care how good a show he puts on here or there, or who accuses who of what, and who counters with whatever else. I don't care that he may or may not be able to come through on all his promises. I disagree on what he promises....so I'm left with McCain. I'll admit I expected a bit more of John McCain in the last month or so. I can't exactly tell you more of what. I just expected more. I think his message in the last debate was too narrow. While neither candidate answered any of the questions, McCain seemed to beat the same dead horse all night...to a bloody pulp.

So we're coming into the final stretch, and unless something major happens in the next few weeks that changes things, I can easily see Barak Obama being the next president. Still, if he is, he'll be that in spite of me...not because of me.
