As far as offering a balanced approach to budgeting Obama is clearly the more desirable candidate.

what I find most uncomfortable about about Obama's spending, is that idea about free healthcare for everyone. regardless of whether or not you find that idea personally palatable, the fact remains that it's going to be extremely expensive if it flies. it's really a bit too ambitious, if not downright disastrous in this day and age.

About the war, I admit I do agree with Obama's stance a bit more. however, I don't think it's plausible we'll be pulling out of the Afghan mess anytime soon, regardless of whomever gets elected.

With regards to taxation, I'm not so sure there should be any further tax decreases period given the deficit we're in. I'm also a bit worried about increasing the taxes 8-11% for businesses making 25k-1mil. If that's on revenue, it could be a huge problem for those who don't even make a 10% profit margin. seriously, a company making even 1 mil profit, isn't all that big. I wish Obama would have just left that alone. with the economy struggling the way it's projected to be, that isn't going to be doing anyone favors.

That being said, I'll throw my vote for the Libertarian party. Where I live in CA, it's going D anyhow with the votes. I don't like McCain anymore than I like Obama, but I will say I'm very disappointed in McCain's performance. I would have much preferred that he put up a good fight instead of the farce that his campaign has become.
