Presidential candidate or celebrity?

John McCain and Barack Obama, have they turned from presidential candidate to celebrity? On USA Today there was an article describing the way that our presidential candidates could possibly be compared to the next "American Idol."

I found this article to be extremely amusing and extremely true at the same time. Did anyone catch Obama's last debate? Holy cow, he had fire and pillars and the works. It looked like a Miley Cyrus concert. I will admit that I can understand that Obama is trying to make it into a big deal and catch peoples attention, but he went a little above and beyond don't you think?

It concerns me that there is the possibility that our presidential candidates have become wrapped up in the shiny sight of fame and forgotten that voters are looking for a President, not a celebrity. I think McCain has done a better job of staying down to Earth and remembering to think of the "regular Joes" in America.

Right now I think the campaign is kind of up in the air. For a while I thought Obama had it in the bag because he has such an appeal to so many people. But McCain on the other hand, has a lot going for him as well. It's important to remember that almost 70% of voters are not youth, the people that actually do come out to vote may be more in favor of McCain. Some people don't adapt well to change, and Obama would be a big change. I personally am still rooting for Obama, but McCain is what people are used to. Another republican old white guy.
