I watched a good chunk of both the DNC and RNC. I listened to the rhetoric of Democrats saying that Republicans are stupid and visa versa. I was especially annoyed during the RNC to hear a line-up of failed presidential candidates call Barack Obama stupid, young, and naive.
And it left me with a single, two-fold question: Which candidate will be able to work to build bridges? Which candidate can unite a divided nation?
That person is prepared to lead our country. Leading one party further to the left or the right isn’t interesting to me.

adam mclane added these words on Sep 05 08 at 3:14 pmdave- until this week I thought serving your community was a good thing. but apparently it’s not important to help people get jobs and things like that.
Erik U. added these words on Sep 05 08 at 11:42 pmIn terms of building bridges / uniting a divided nation, I think BOTH Obama & McCain have impressive track records of working with both parties. However, after hearing Gov. Palin’s devisive speech, I’m becoming a little more skeptical of how sincerely the Republicans want unity. It will be an interesting 2 months!
Tim Schmoyer added these words on Sep 06 08 at 12:36 amI don’t get how both parties can bash each other and then say they’re working for unity between the parties. *scratches head*
