the politician does not exist who is completely "correct" on ALL the issues. IMHO, nitpicking completely misses the point. Personnally, I'm really getting fed up with the word "flip-flop". Who hasn't ever changed their mind, or ended up going along with other's ideas in the interest of getting SOMETHING DONE, even though you may disagree on how it gets done?
Y'all seem to forget that the President DOES NOT MAKE THE LAWS. He can only request/suggest that CONGRESS tackle the issues he feels are important. The President's main job is foreign policy. As far as canidate "qualifications", I'm more interested with what they've DONE. Frankly, I don't want someone who sits "fat,dumb,and happy" inside their party political machine. We need problem solvers, not loquacious slogan sellers. I think McCain/Palin worries BOTH Democrats AND Republicans. I think both parties are worried how much they will shake up the "status quo" in Washington,DC. I can't wait to see how much "deadwood" they can chop out of the beltway, and bring reality into "la-la-land".

MrLabGuy - This discussion brings back memories from the Roadfly lounges - my screen name is different but we are still in the minority.
Politics is always as charged subject -- just like religion. It is always difficult to have a truly informed and enlightened discussion, especially when the opinions of our country are so dramatically shaped by what I consider to be the most liberal leaning media in history. For me personally, as a conservative, McCain is a tough sell -- which was made much more palatable with Palin, but still a tough sell. Palin is an outsider who seems to stick to her guns. I don't mind a politician that changes their views when the situation changes. For example, take off-shore drilling. I do not support it when oil is at $40 / b.l - the economics just don't work, but at over $100 / b. it does make sense - so a politician that "flips" their position on this issue is a winner in my book because they can adapt and use their intelliegence instead of sticking to a position at all costs to avoid an apperarance of flipping (re: Obama and the surge). In the end, McCain's views are a better match for me - smaller government, no legislating from the bench, less tax, more personal freedom, etc... and so they get my vote -- but I still don't feel "great" about it...
