You have to pick the candidate who you agree with the most.
Since I enjoy having the ability to choose what I do with my body, and look forward to attending weddings of my gay friends, I choose to vote for Obama. Those are the two main issues I choose a candidate on. It may be shallow but those are my biggies.
I also am finding it harder and harder to respect people who think it's ok to take away those rights because their religion or personal moral compass says it's not ok. If you think abortion is wrong, don't have one. If you think same-sex marriage is wrong, don't marry someone of the same sex. McCain's administration is going to try and take away those rights, and frankly, to me, if you're voting for his ticket you're voting to take away rights of your fellow people and I just can't bring myself to respect people who want to oppress others.
