McCain seems honest but a tad senile and Palin is plain scary, but there is something about Obama that I don't trust either. Maybe he is just tired of all this campaigning but he comes across like Blair without the flair. Bah. At the end of the day, running a country is a bit like running a large FTSE company in that when it comes to many issues, control is just an illusion. In too many cases power end up in the hands of those who desire it the greatest but are the least deserving. Oh how I despise most politicians.
