McCain or Obama? Obama or McCain?

August 3rd, 2008

by David Longshore

The 2008 US presidential election cycle is well underway.  Not surprisingly, the outcome of this election will have some (possibly major) effect on the Emergency Management and Homeland Security communities in the United States.  Whether you’re a supporter of (in alphabetical order) Senator John McCain or Senator Barack Obama, from an EM/HLS viewpoint, who do you think will prove a more effective leader for the EM and HLS fields?  Before responding, please consider those issues that impact the EM and HLS fields, including vision, funding, legislation, and loyalty.

Please note that Disaster Central’s professional standards prohibit interference in the political process through the providing of direct endorsements.  Disasters are non-partisan, and so is Disaster Central.  That does not, however, preclude Disaster Central’s readers from sharing their respective opinions of EM and HLS, and their relation to the 2008 US presidential election, in this blog.  We welcome your viewpoints.
