I am a 50-year old registered Democrat, an union member, a while male and a communications professional living in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania..
Yes, I am undecided.
I am a deficit hawk and I feel neither candidate has seriously addressed the issue. I believe the only way that the deficit can be managed is by both raising taxes and cutting federal programs. Neither Senator Obama nor Senator McCain will admit that.
On an emotional level, I also have some problems. I wish Senator Obama was 10 years older and had 10 more years of experience, either in the private sector or in government service. I wonder if his inexperience will mirror the problems of Presidents Carter and Clinton. I also worry that Senator Obama will be unable to say "no!" to members of his party when it comes to government spending.
On the other hand, Senator McCain seems to be too hot-headed at times. Other times, he seems clueless. During the recent economic situation in this country, Senator McCain had the "deer in the headlights" look
When it comes to the courts, I worry about the appointments that either man could make. I wonder if Senator Obama's appointments will be too far to the left and Senator McCain's too far to the right.
Sincerely,
Stephen M. Karlinchak
