					<description>Maybe McCain indeed is overestimated when it comes to his international experience. Didn't he also talked about President Putin of Germany? One can doubt if we want a man to be president of the United States, when he can't even remember the difference between the female German chancellor Merkel and the male president of Russia. 

However, I do support McCain in taking a more progressive stance on certain issues, uncommon to most members of the Republican party. An example is his rejection of the use of Waterboarding as an interrogation technique. I found multiple issues on which I can agree with McCain on a website called electoralcompass.com. It helps you to futher analyse the positions of all the candidates, including the ones that already dropped out, e.g. Romney and Edwards. I think it is a very interesting tool, especially for the undecided voters. Surprisingly enough, I was closest to Obama. But I think you should all check it out, since maybe it can help you in determining your actual political position. Here's the link: www.electoralcompass.com</description>

					<description>I wonder how much Joe Lieberman charges to be a sitter.  I have a senator I need to leave alone for the night, do you think I can afford his rates?</description>
