Mccain, just saying what he thinks we want to hear?

They are both saying what they think we want to hear. They need us to believe them and vote for them, afterall. At the same time, they may both believe what they are saying.

Voters need to remember that campaigns are largely based on hypotheticals and hopes for the future. Unless these candidates have psychics on their campaigns, there is no telling what can realistically be done with most of the issues on their platforms.

Will tax increases and other changes reduce the inequality gap and improve conditions for the average American? Maybe not and at least not immediately.

Will we be able to remove troops from the Middle East and/or will it have the outcome that we hope for? Maybe not and at least not immediately.

Will we be able to find Bin Laden and bring him to justice? Maybe not and at least not immediately.

Either candidate could completely flop as POTUS. Voting is similar to a more informed game of chance in that sense.
