$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Hawkcreek', 'I') describe myself as a gun-loving liberal, but I find myself wanting to vote for McWhatshisname.
If gun rights are your single issue, McCain is a sound vote because Obama has either a D or an F rating by the NRA in his public voting record. Also there will likely be more friction on whatever bills get introduced by Congress with two different parties controlling the legislative and executive branch.
If Democratic policies (whatever they are and however they differ from Republican policies) are your more important drive, Obama is sound choice as long as you're comfortable with whatever policies the Congress comes up with being given probable carte blanche.
I'm not voting for either because I distrust Obama on domestic policy (as any government dominated by a single party) and I distrust McCain on foreign policy, so I'm comfortably equally unhappy with whoever wins. Naturally, these shouldn't matter to you if you are a subscriber of the death cult mentality that is so popular here...
