True that Ms. Palin is lively and fashionable, suitable for magazine covers. Obama is also interesting, too, in that he is black, articulate, good-looking etc. But what I will be voting for is a leader who will start us on the path of preventing our planet from collapsing and who is less hypnotized by corporate interests; Obama is by far the best candidate for this, as well as for upholding many of my values.

Now if only we can toss out the entire House of Reps and get some regular folks in there, ready to commit to fixing the mess in one term and going back home. Now THAT would be progress.

And from where i am (admittedly another country) Palin may look interesting and entertaining, but she also looks quite a scary prospect for the future....
