I think both candidates have the same views on certain issues. Albeit when you go into detail you find the dividing lines, they still have certain parallels. Now, the bigger issues are where you are going to find the differences such as taxes, social decisions (Includes abortion, gay marriage, and other things of that matter), how to fix the economy, the war in Iraq, and the policies of NAFTA. Now considering these United States of America, are more conservative, the issues have one extreme to the median.

"Election Day is during the week, and for business travelers, that's tough," says Jeff Zaino, VP of elections for the American Arbitration Association.
But most states allow voters to apply for absentee voting in coming weeks, he says, and 31 states are allowing in-person early voting this year - which means more options for travelers.

Who Won?
McLEAN, Va. - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama convinced many more viewers to think more favorably of him during Tuesday night's presidential debate than did his Republican opponent, John McCain, a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll signals.
While 53% of the 735 people surveyed said their opinions of Obama had not changed, 34% said they thought more favorably of him and just 12% viewed him less favorably. All 735 said they had watched the debate.
The reactions to McCain were almost mirror opposites: 54% said their opinions about him had not changed, 33% felt less favorable and 12% felt more favorable.

Remember the days of the LP when the record would sometimes get stuck and play the same piece over and over again? That is kind of how these debates are going, same thing over and over again.

Last Dance
Well, this is it. Barack Obama and John McCain meet tonight at Hofstra University on Long Island for the third and final presidential debate. With less than three weeks to go until election day, the latest ABC News poll found the Obama campaign opening up a 10-point lead over his Republican opponent. That followed a week of heightened attacks on the presidential trail. Obama (along with some fervid McCain supporters) has challenged McCain to bring some of those attacks to tonight's showdown. Will the gloves come off? And as the economy takes another nosedive, which candidate will do a better job convincing Americans that he has the plan to rescue the sinking economy? "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran will host the show live from the debate hall. ABC News chief Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos will be back for the final "Nightline" Report Card, and our experts will be there to break down the night's performances. Source 5

If I could cast my vote I would chose Sarah Palin, ain't she a beauty for a politician. Her grandmother was native Alaskan so she is native woman. She can take down a moose and get a trooper fired. From what I read the guy deserved to be fired. She doesn't mess and that will probably be good for America.
