I made it for about 10 minutes. I was too embarrassed for both of them to continue. McC was HORRIBLE! O is clearly a better speaker, and is much quicker on his feet, plus holding the apparent lead, makes things a lot easier on you.

McC has some real problems, especially being behind in the polls, and his VP is a boat anchor on his campaign. She sucks, is out of place, and was a huge tactical blunder. She will make out like a bandit from it though, once this is all over, and I hate that.

But really it comes to the issues, and I am in line with McC on 3 big ones, even though I think as a leader, he sucks. I think O's health care plan is a joke, and I like McC's. I think about something like Lazik surgery, that is not covered by insurance. Look at how much the prices and technology have changed over the years. It was something that was exhorbitant and scary, now it is affordable and commonplace. The reason for that is the free-market, and competition among doctors to make money at it. If insurance gets more competitive, I just cannot see how that could be bad. Many small businesses/sole proprietorships in WA are hamstrung by our current insurance situation.

Having worked for DoD, McC's beating of the drum to cut defense spending, and privatize that work rings exactly true for me. I worked on the 4th floor of a 5 story building. One day we made an estimate, and determined that each floor of that building cost the taxpayers $120K in PAYROLL ONLY a day. A day! Based on what I could tell 50% of the employees could have done the work, and still had time to screw off for 2 hours a day. When we would work with contractors they would have 5 staff to our 35, doing the same work, with the workers making twice our pay, for 1/3 of the cost to the taxpayer. Defense spending is a joke on the homefront, Ft L. is already going private for capital improvements, it is time for the rest of the DoD to follow suit.

The third is nuclear power. It is time, the technology is good enough, and the long-term effects are quantifiable, and controllable.

O appears to be just another tax farmer, and it will be bad for my business if he passes his new tax laws. Israel is fcked after he is elected.
