Although future S.C. appointees are extrmely important, the economy is the most important issue in my opinion. There is no comparison between the spend and tax raising platform of the Democratic Party compared to McCain's platform of lower taxes, less government and budget reductions.
Your pocketbook will be severerly affected if Obama or Hillary win the Prez. That lone issue should make you vote for McCain. The S.C. won't mean doodly if gasoline prices go up to $6 a gallon, your income taxes go way up, cut & run in Iraq, the military & intel. budget is slashed to the bone, more gun laws, etc., etc.
