First, let me go on the record to say that I still read my friends page daily. Though my job keeps me busy enough that I don't have much time to post entries or comments, I still read everything you all write

I always find it difficult to decide who to vote for. Although I'm socially liberal, I am politically conservative, and there never seems to be a candidate who represents both of these ideals. I like Obama's platform slightly better, however, and I will probably vote for him as well.
I know the feeling. I consider myself moderate, but there are a lot of positions where I'm fairly strong on one side or the other. Fiscally I lean conservative (but not in all things); politically I'm pretty balanced moderate; socially I lean liberal (but not in all things). Technologically and educationally... pft, I think both parties are years out of date, though the Democrats are at least only 5 years behind instead of 10

Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. The war is the main reason I'm voting for Obama. I have a feeling a lot of Americans feel the same way.
The selection of Sarah Palin for VP didn't help McCain's case, at least for me. She has some rather radical and frightening views, and her speech last night didn't have much substance to it.
Seriously though, power to you for even /considering/ voting the other party rather than just blindly following the party line. Too few voters are willing to do that, and the end result is rampant "my party good, your party bad" divisiveness.
Now, me, I have an easier job because I agree with just about everything regarding Obama, from his platforms to his demeanor/mindset. I do give McCain his due for his heroism, but I disagree with nearly all of his policies, and like Kyou I just plain don't want another war-minded president in the oval office.
