We Pick the Presidential Candidate Who Shares Our Worldview
~C4Chaos
Regular readers of this blog know by now that I’m pro-Obama. Not that I hate McCain or because I think that Obama is the political messiah, as caricatured by his detractors. It’s simply because, after considering the policies of both candidates (at least those policies that are important to me), their moral values and worldviews, intelligence, and overall geopolitical appeal, Obama is the *better* candidate.
That said, I still enjoy getting to know both candidates as the election day draws near. Yesterday I watched CNN’s special on Obama/McCain. Both of their stories are inspiring, yet worlds apart. Nevermind their political partisanship. There’s a big generational gap and differences in worldview between these two passionate candidates. Obama is a classic Idealist. McCain is a classic Artisan.

I think Obama's idealism is tempered with more practical ideas and solutions than people give him credit for. The neighborhoods of Chicago tested his mettle in the sticktoitiveness category.
Its humorous thinking about Obama as an ENFP. I can see it. I'm an Idealist myself (INFP), and so does that mean I'm required to vote for him? :)
I liked what Bill Maher said about Obama's and McCain's responses to how to deal with evil. If Obama is an ENFP, his auxiliary Introverted Feeling would give him a strong moral sense and at the same time his dominant Extraverted Intuition would balance that with being able to see morality in very nuanced terms. On the other hand, McCain's answer gave me the creeps. Its answers like that which lead to evil… not saying McCain is evil.
