These past days have shown what kind of presidency McCain would have – erratic, jumping from one grand gesture to another, never addressing the core crisis, and flipping between extreme positions in an afternoon – “The fundamentals of our economy are strong” to “The fundamentals of our economy are at risk”\u00a0 – to I’m suspending my campaign because we face “an historic crisis” a week later.<\/p>\n

A president needs to be a steady presence. McCain clearly is not that. An email might not change everyone’s mind. But at least they’ll have a few more facts to take into the voting booth.<\/p>\n

We need people to know these facts before the election…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nSubject: FWD: 21 Facts about This Election
\nTo: email@2parse.com<\/a><\/p>\n
I admit I’m biased. I’m an Obama supporter. I didn’t start out this way (I was a McCain supporter in 2000). But the past few months have reinforced my choice, as Obama guided his billion dollar behemoth of a campaign with coolness under pressure and grit under attack. Through all of it, I have been receiving emails that smeared Obama with lies.<\/p>\n

Convinced that the facts and the times support my case, I researched and wrote this. Unlike the emails I’ve gotten before that attempted to smear Obama with lies, this email is sourced<\/strong><\/span>, and if these truths do not reflect well on one candidate, it’s better that we know these truths now.<\/p>\n

I wrote this hoping you’d hold 3 questions in your mind<\/span><\/em> while reading:<\/p>\n
