If I were in the states I’d be voting for Obama based on the difference in health policy. As a medical student (in Canada) I’m familiar with the “put a new name on it and it isn’t a problem anymore” approach to healthcare, which McCain’s campaign advisor advocates for dealing with the pervasive lack of health insurance. The democrats are instead advocating for requiring private insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. This is the model used for drug coverage here in Alberta, and it works. I encourage everyone to find issues you care about and do RESEARCH on them before voting, rather than concerning yourselves with who is the best public speaker. There may be compelling reasons to vote either way, but this isn’t one of them.
