<DIV>I'll take it as a compliment that you'd understand the other side better if
only I could present it. (I did write an article on the Republican Party for the
<EM>Encyclopedia of the Great Depression and New </EM>Deal, which my mother says
was well balanced). I'm finding it harder to criticize Obama than Kerry. By the
time the election rolled around in 2004, I was alternately wishing I was Kerry's
speech-writer, because I could see obvious answers to questions he flubbed
royally (questions about <EM>himself </EM>for Lord's sake), and remembering what
the alternative was. Generally when Obama speaks for himself for more than 60
seconds, he does fine in my book. I think he listens to his advisors too much,
but every candidate does. At least he does less of it than most.</DIV>

<DIV>If I may say, I've enjoyed the discussion. I find in my busy IT career I
don't have time to find out info about the different candidates. And if there
are peeps on here willing to share both sides and help give a big picture
answer. It's making asking questions easier and getting a bigger picture
easier... Now just to get Siarlys to actually argue both sides so I get an
even picture. hehe</DIV>
