Good vs. Evil

This campaign is shaping up to be a real fight of good vs. evil. Not that either candidate is really good or evil but their policies are. Will we vote for a candidate that have new ideas and is new, charismatic, charming and have the power of a rock star or will we hide in fear of change (just like the republicans want us to) and elect a candidate that is old, no real new ideas (voted 95% for Bush's policies), ill-tempered, lacking in real policies and also employs dirty tactics?
If you listen to the media especially when they go to some rural town and ask the older population (I don't know maybe young people have moved away?) what they think of Obama you get a sense of desolation. They are usually bias and seem to have no access to real news (or should I say the internet?). But let's remember the media is not in Obama's pocket and they tend to skew the facts. The media usually pick a town that have no real voting power in the state they are surveying and the town's people seem to want to live in fantasy land compared to the rest of America. Does Obama have a real shot of being our next president? Hell yea! Too much time is spent looking at national polls. No offense to the national polls but I have no idea what states they chose to phone on that day. There's also the fact that cell phone owners (you know the people that only have cell phones) are not being taken into account. I strongly feel that most polls are skewed. The only problem with us Obama supporters though is that a lot of us want to tell Obama how to run his campaign. Let's see, we tell him how he needs to put out negative ads, how he needs to vote on legislation, whether to drill or not, who should be his VP, blah, blah, blah. Can we get a little faith going here. What is the alternative? McCain. McCain is so upside down I am having a hard time defining whether he is too old, nasty, a bigot or just a plan old puppet. Based on Obama's opinion McCain's campaign is cynical. But since I know McCain and his campaign does not always agree on his position I'm starting to wonder if McCain is a puppet more than any thing else. The last thing America needs is for another Bush (I firmly believe he was a puppet. He was too dumb to put forth the destruction that we've just experienced, just like McCain who was Mr. 6th or 5th from the bottom of his class. News to America, being rich (such as McCain is) do not make you smart, it makes you an an empty elitist.
