Choices

I rewatched the Palin/McCain acceptance speeches again this weekend, while I was working on AdventureBoy's home PC.

The last ten minutes of the McCain speech, especially, just gave me goosebumps.

It got me to thinking about what one might get when choosing between the two candidates

	Obama/Biden		McCain/Palin
Do you want:	Oratory?	or	Achievement?
	Political Expediency	or	Enough character to make difficult, even dangerous personal choices?
	Book Learning	or	School of Hard Knocks?
	"Experience"	or	Effectiveness?

John McCain didn't always make the choices that were popular with the people around him...and he paid. He paid over 30 years ago, and now he can barely raise his arms above his shoulders.

What really tough, unpopular choices has Barack Obama made?
