28. Four years ago, McCain didn't scare the *bleep* out of me.

Also, I never saw Obama as someone with a halo. I think now he has sort of earned a halo. I would say fit him for a halo if he was a bit more liberal, but as it is, he has done really well. He gets my vote and I talk to people about voting for him. Bottom line is I support him more this election season than last.
