Andrew Sullivan distills the choice

There's a lot to talk about, and argue, and debate, and wonder about in the upcoming election. From one vantage point, things are extremely complicated. But from another, perhaps more accurate point of view, things are actually quite simple.

Conservative columnist Andrew Sullivan reminds us how simple things really are:

"If you believe that we can tackle domestic problems and the rising debt without raising any taxes, then vote for McCain. If you believe that the problem with the last eight years has been an insufficient use of military force and an insufficiently aggressive hostility to other great powers, McCain is your man. If not, Obama is the right choice."

Simple. Beyond all of the other stuff- the Clintons, the VPs, off-shore drilling, number of houses owned, Jeremiah Wright, flag pins, race, the glass ceiling- all of it... we need to keep our eye on the prize.
