I’ll admit, before this morning, I was on the fence about who to vote for. Obama seems intelligent, likable, and motivated, but John McCain was in a prison camp. So they each had a lot going for them. But then I read this in the Detroit Free Press:

The auto industry and Wall Street took center stage in the presidential race Wednesday when Republican John McCain, after touring a suburban Detroit auto plant, declared in his strongest language so far that he will fight for government loans to help the U.S. auto industry retool. …

“I’m here to send a message to Washington and Wall Street: We are not going to leave the workers here in Michigan hung out to dry while we give billions in taxpayer dollars to Wall Street,” McCain said.

Wait a minute … hold on there, buddy. You went all the way to freaking Michigan to send a message to Washington? Don’t you … um … work there? That’s 42 cents you could have easily saved yourself on postage! Clearly, John McCain does not have sound economic policies. Sorry, fella! You’ve just lost yourself a swing vote!
