There's a lot of difference between the two, make no mistake there are a lot of things to not like about McCain but the things to not like abut Obama are a factor of 10 over MCCain's negatives. When Obama gets elected by conservatives being stupid then they will see the differences very clearly and then they will realise their stupidity. However, it will be too late as the game set and match will have been lost to them forever.

This notion that an Obama presidency will usher in a new Reagan is nothing more than a pipedream, and I do not place my future on pipedreams. Besides does another Reagan even exist? I haven't seen him.

Obama and Reagan have absolutely nothing in common. But the fact that Obama is being presented this way proves exactly what I said: that his image is being “massaged” by the press and his campaign to present something entirely different from what he really is. Amazingly enough, even some people who should know better seem to be falling for it.

Given that, even leaving aside any issues of principle or belief, I don’t understand why McCain seems to be throwing away a genuine advantage. Of course, this may all be rumors on the part of the press designed to undermine McCain’s pro-life supporters and make them stay home.
