I agree...but don’t forget its independents who elect presidents in this country, and they vote for whoever they feel will take the country in the right direction.

Unfortunately, recently we have done a poor job providing that direction. That's how people were able to get behind Obama, he had a message; Change and Yes We Can..I know most of us see right through it, but when we don't articulate our principles effectively; people will hang on to a word or phrase. McCain had no message, he was all over the place, and the one common theme was he reached across the aisle. Compromising is not leading; leading is inspirational, getting people who may have different beliefs than ours, to follow because a connections to those principles has been achieved. Maybe not each specifically but the general message if articulated correctly will hopefully open their eyes and ears, to hear something new.
