East VS West

I've had enough of old white guys - my current dream ticket is Barak Obama AND Sarah Palin - it all seems to come down to East (Obama/Biden: economy sucks, we'll do better) VS West (McCain/Palin: everything's fine) - I'm voting for Obama because he doesn't have a pedigree like John Sidney McCain III or George Walker Bush, etc AND he a progressive who want's to sunset/abolish obsolete Govt programs.
