I wanted to convey an equal stance for both candidates because it is important for people to make up their own minds.  I feel that many people today don't now the ins and outs of politics to actually base their votes 100 percent along those lines.  Instead people either vote along party lines or on the personality of the candidates.   The time when a person could win an election strictly on politics is long gone.  A candidate must be the total package, popular, likeable, etc. whatever you wanna call it he or she just has to get people to vote for him or her.  They have to be good on television, a good speaker and person who can get people behind them no matter what.  I think party lines are pretty important because a person in a certain party will go somewhat along the lines on most issues.  I'm beginning  more and more to think we choose presidents a lot like we choose friends--  people who are popular.  How many Americans can tell you exactly what Obama stands for or for what McCain stands for? Do they really know why they make the decisions they make? Does America now its candidates policies that well.  This is why i think a lot of people vote on the basis of personality or party lines.  Or it may be that life has become so complicated these days they don't really have time between everything else that clutters their life.  
I'm not really sure if the will people vote should be in there but it may be another paragraph in itself.  I need to rework my conclusion to make less repetitive and not new ideas but just different i guess. Leave some more questions for America to ponder.
