This is becoming an echo chamber. I'm a pretty conservative Republican, and I prefer Obama to McCain, though I'd take McCain in a heartbeat over Hillary.
I prefer Obama because he's smarter than McCain and because he appears more honest. Yeah, he's had issues with Wright etc., but so has McCain, with lying about Romney and the Keating Five scandal (in which he really was a tool).
Let's elect a person, not a party.

Hillary is a liar, selfish & shameless.
Obama is naive, careless & waay too far left.
McCain is already having verifiable senior moments! Yikes!
We are screwed, people... no matter which one you think you could tolerate!

Alan Cranston (D-CA)
Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
John Glenn (D-OH)
John McCain (R-AZ)
Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)
The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).
After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly
Why was he suspected?
