That is completely beside the point.
No, it isn’t beside the point.
I do believe it is the point.
At least the point you are trying to make.
Your point is we should elect Obama over McCain because McCain would be bad. That means then, in your mind, that Obama would be better.
In fact, you said Obama was your 2nd choice for president, following Hillary Clinton, and McCain trailed behind both of them, followed by Romney in as what you deemed the worst choice of all.
So clearly you think Obama would be a better president than McCain.
So tell us then, where exactly would Obama be better?
