Canada is on the whole a gentler, softer and more liberal nation — but there is also less freedom, opportunity, prosperity, competition and dynamism. Canada is well-loved by other nations — but the country has little diplomatic or military clout.

Personally, I would rather have Obama than Jack! but only if he comes in third place like Jack! I like Obama because he brings out the Hope and Change in the left rather than the regular despair and complaining. Sorta.

I just realized one strategy that McCain will use to attack Obama: being un-American. The existing conservative status quo is American; Obama’s “Canadian vision for America” is un-American.

Even more un-American is Michele Obama’s statement that until her hubby became a viable canadadate for POTUS she never once in her adult life felt proud to be an American.
B. (no middle name) Obama is more of a Paul Martin than a Taleban Jack!, while he is decidedly left wing, I don’t think there is a single hard and fast point of policy that he won’t flip-flop on just as soon as his advisors advance a good argument in favour of doing so. And he will flop-flip back again tomorrow when they advance that course of action as well.

I agree with you Enkidu. I picked Jack! due to Martin being AWOL since the last election.

- That was a gaffe. She corrected it later that day by saying something like, “I haven’t been this proud in a long time of my country”. Not that Fox news would let you know that.

- He’s stuck to his policies on most things he supports (Abortion, gay marriage, iraq and afghanistan, health care..). I suppose he’s changed his position on the economy, but that’s because of the changing situation we’re experiencing. As far as flip flopping goes, McCain has him beat hands down.
