I like McCain. But I feel that McCain treated it like a beauty pageant and Obama actually debated.

Also, Jessica, as far as your comments about trickle-down economics, I largely agree (though Zach, I'd like to hear more on why you disagree with it), but not in specific economic situation we're finding ourselves in now. The current economic woes we're having are largely due to a budget crunch on the middle class. I think the smartest course of action would be to reduce middle class taxes now, then as the economy stabilizes and we get government spending under control, arrange an upper-class tax cut.

I think I can agree to that. I'm curious why Zach said that as well. As far as tax cuts for the middle class, I think (note I said THINK) both candidates plan for tax cuts to the middle class. McCain wants to include the upper class, though, and Obama wants to include the lower income class. That makes no sense to me, though, because most people in the low income bracket hardly pay taxes, if at all. Maybe I am wrong about their tax cut policies.
