The Ideal Presidential Candidate

The upcoming election is a classic one of a Republican versus a Democrat. A conservative, well-known senator from Arizona who bravely served his country and was a prisoner of war and a lesser known Illinois Senator whose depth of experience and young age raise a question in the minds of many regarding his ability to lead our country at this time of multiple challenges facing us. The ideal presidential candidate must be able to deal effectively with multiple issues facing the country. The threat of terrorism, the declining economy, and the war in Iraq are all key issues that the next president will face on day one.
The decision facing the American people has never been more clear- an older senator with more experience, more established conservative views and one who is likely to maintain the status quo or a younger more liberal senator with less experience but more likely to change the current environment/direction of our country. In a perfect world, the next president would be able to achieve our desired goals with as little sacrifice to our basic way of life as possible. The choice is an important one but certainly not an easy one.
