Debate This

The 2008 presidential debates are underway. First and foremost what is predominantly absent here are more voices that challenge the status quo. The similarities of Obama and McCain outweigh their differences for me, so the debate is about minor details of who is more proactive, who is more reluctant, whose voting record backs them up, etcetera etcetera. What it boils down to is they are both FOR continued military spending, FOR wall street bailout, FOR nuclear energy and FOR offshore drilling, just to different degrees so where is the opposing view here?
