It didn’t sound that bad to me. It sure was easier than a few weeks ago when the audio levels were bouncing up and down!
By the way, I noticed something on your chart. Out of the 28 issues you list the only places where the Democrats disagree are cutting funding for Iraq, what to do with troop levels, prescription drugs and medical marijuana. In contrast, the Republicans are only in agreement on five of them. Even ignoring Ron Paul, you still don’t come close to such agreement as you see with the Democrats. This explains why a previously undecided Republican/conservative such as yourself would have such a hard time picking from the five remaining candidates.
Also, I didn’t know that Ron Paul is 72. For all the talk about how old McCain is, it’s really surprising that nothing about that came up in the last debate, when they asked a question about McCain’s age.
