For eight years, we've had a horrible foreign policy that has led to a catastrophic, expensive war in Iraq, the creation of far more terrorists than before Bush, and a domestic policy that borders on criminal in its neglect of everything for the almighty dollar.
McCain won't change any of that. We can't afford to stay on that path.
Obama won't be perfect, nobody has been since TR and it won't happen again. But at least he understands we need some changes to turn the tide. Getting us off foreign oil. Helping the middle class. Regulating big business to the proper extent. No tax breaks for companies ditching America.
It sounds corny as hell, but Obama is bringing hope back. Restoring pride in who we are and what we can do. He can make a government that isn't just big or wasting money, but actually doing what government was created to do. We've had darn near 30 years of people who believe government is evil RUNNING government, and thus doing everything they can to destroy it (incompetent hires, etc etc).
I know you'll just laugh at all this, and that's fine. To each his own. But if you want to know why I'm voting Obama over McCain, it's because he understands that now more than anytime in recent history, we need change that will produce results for all Americans.
McCain could give two shits for the middle class, so why would I vote for him? Why would I vote to make sure my bosses keep getting richer and richer at Nestle while I barely make enough to save up for my kids future?
Besides, for all his verbal gaffes, I still trust Biden far more on foreign policy and domestic issues than I do Palin, who frightens me with her lack of knowledge for the job she's being offered.

Can't say I'm surprised. The dems could run a serial rapist and you'd vote for him.
Oh, wait...
Totally incorrect. Shame is, you know that.
I have no love, or like, for Clinton. I'll assume that is the "serial rapist" you mention.
In 2004 I did a write in vote for Wes Clark.
In 2000 I would have voted Bush, but didn't bother with school, work, and the fact he already won Indiana before election day.
In 1996, well, come on. I skipped. How could one not? Clinton or Dole?
In 1992, had I voted, it would have been Bush. Same in 1988 if I was old enough. Reagan in 1984 and 1980, if I was old enough.
So you can't really say I just vote Dem.
At this point in history, we can't afford to have McCain in office.
And Obama will be different - how?
