I'm not going to leave John McCain out in the wind because he's a Republican, even though he's obviously at a disadvantage since I agree more with Democratic party principles than I do with Republicans.
In the post I made, I only highlighted the problems with the car, as I would have problems with any other car. The skyline is an engineering masterpiece, and amazingly good at what it does for that price point, don't get me wrong. I just said I wouldn't be caught dead announcing it's my favorite car, because one of my distastes is hopping on the bandwagon and liking something for reasons unknown besides, ''everyone else is doin' it''.
To make a conclusion, and to link my two points together since it seems to drift off. My point with the Presidential election is similar to that of my entering into the skyline debate. I, a Democrat look at John McCain the same way I look at Obama. I will look at their credentials, talking points, and strategy for reform, and decide from there. HOWEVER, naturally and as I stated, Obama/Clinton would obviously be at an advantage because my partial allegiance for Democratic values carries through to Democratic candidates and is rivaled by the Republican party, putting John McCain at an IMMEDIATE disadvantage. So to create a segway, the Skyline is the proverbial John McCain. I know the Skyline's past, the same way I know the Republican trend. I know it'll come in with hype, I know it'll come in heavy, have electronics and some 'omfg wtf how?' 4wd system, but I disregard this when the car is first revealed. But, these same trends will reveal themselves again in the car seeing as a nameplate in design will not change drastically but only improve itself. Since the trends are still there, being partisaned didn't lead me to disliking the car to a certain extent, but to eventually deciding that it's not the best car for ME.
