My being a fan of Heinlein literature doesn't necessarily make me think all of his ideas are right, just a fan of classic sci-fi writing I suppose. Much like the current candidates I find neither of their ideas entirely appealing mainly due to the party lines they are forced to adopt.

For example the Obama campaign's stance against nuclear energy(well sort of He has said one thing but has Pelosi on his ticket and that says something else).

Or Mccain's ideals on abortion equally stemming from the christian base of the party.

I find the absurd amount of partisanship in the electoral process to be severely handicapping the democratic process. We are frequently forced to pick a "lesser of two evils" candidate and it makes it impossible for an independent to ever have a shot at the executive branch due to the massive inertia of the two parties.
