I haven't decided to out-and-out endorse a presidential candiate yet (mostly because I'm not an American, and don't feel it's my buiness), but I don't think it's any great secret that I'm supporting McCain (at least from the Republicans).<BR/><BR/>From the Democratic side, I'm <I>definitely</I> supporting Obama. While I think he's a <I>much</I> stronger vice presidential candidate than presidential candidate, he's certainly the strongest Democrat in the race.Patrick Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592482865332628189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149446.post-21479927893948183092008-01-31T18:55:00.000-07:002008-01-31T18:55:00.000-07:00His bipartisanship and tendency to put pragmatism ...<I>His bipartisanship and tendency to put pragmatism before ideology have turned core Republican voters off in the past.</I><BR/><BR/>That's exactly why I've finally left the fence and endorsed him on my site.
