I wanted to add my two cents to see if it makes sense. This is one example why I like McCain although I am a democrat.

When both [McCain and Obama] were asked: "When does life begin?", Mr McCain immediately said: "At the moment of conception".

Mr Obama first said that answering the question was "above my pay-grade" before adding that he was in favour of legal abortion "not because I'm pro-abortion but because, ultimately, I don't think women make these decisions casually. I think they wrestle with these things in profound ways."  (from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7575808.stm )

Although I don't agree with McCain's answer, what I like about him is that he is so clear about his stance and he is not trying to please his listeners. Obama's answer clearly shows that he is trying to please his listeners. The problem with this is that I don't know where he stands and as a result, I can not trust him.

The second example, as I mentioned above, he talked about change, but chose a washington insider for VP. So I can never trust Obama.
