As I look at the presidential race it seems to me to always break down to one thing. Do I vote for the status quo, or do I vote for something new. Now, I know that I personally don't like the way the major issues that this country is always concerned about have veered during the past eight years - and I sure don't want more of that. I also know that every candidate that ever tried to remove an incumbent party promised "change" that they rarely delivered on. So how do I vote? As in many past elections I find it necessary to vote more by the process of elimination than by qualification. Isn't that sad?
Why is it that in a country of over 300 million people, when it boils down to two candidates for leader of the free world, there aren't some clearly, perfectly qualified choices? Why, in a country that can make some of the most remarkable technologies and health care advancements, and achieve some of the greatest goals in history of any nation on the planet is there still no obviously superior leadership choices in our government?
Am I missing something? When is the president of the US going to be a role model of leadership and not a punch line or some corporate pawn?
