Lesser of Two Evils

From Yahoo News:

"With Wall Street in turmoil and the economy in shambles, whichever presidential candidate convinces a swath of persuadable voters that he gets it — and can be trusted to lead the country back to fiscal stability — could well win the White House.

"A recent AP-Yahoo! News poll found that 18 percent of likely voters are up for grabs — undecided or willing to change their minds — little more than five weeks before Americans choose between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.

"A large chunk of these voters say they are hurting on a personal level from the country's economic woes, and, like everyone else, they say the economy is the top issue. Most haven't decided who would best solve their problems as president; neither candidate has an advantage on handling the economy.

"Simply put: Most are looking for a better life and a leader to help make it happen — and most haven't found what they seek in Obama or McCain."

While I can empathize with the sentiment, I'd have to say we have a case of lesser of two evils here. I mean, I don't think McCain is the best thing since sliced bread, but for Christ's sake, people, are you really even considering Obama?!
