Your last sentence hit a nerve. I am not so much voting for Obama as against Palin, and while I dislike ageism, the fact is McCain is old, but as you said, I don't love any of them.
What is eluding McCain is that the reason he was well liked is his ability to reach across party lines, but then he runs his campaign old school in the heart of old line republicans. I think he should have chosen lieberman as his running mate and really been the Maverick he has been. I have a lot of respect for McCain, and am deeply dissapointed by how he's chosen to run.
That being said, I also feel sorry for him. Jon Stewart turned on him, Lewis compared him to wallace, and he thought he and Lewis were friends, it's an ugly ugly time and I am glad it will all be over soon, one way or the other.
