The question is not how much I'm in alignment with Barrack's platform.
It's how misaligned I am with John McCain's.
What about this, then?

Energy: Break our nation's strategic dependence on foreign sources of energy.

Health Care: Stop the erosion of affordable health insurance, save Medicare and Medicaid, protect private health benefits for retirees, and allow our companies to effectively compete around the world.
Iraq: Secure long-term peace and security is to establish a stable, prosperous, and democratic state in Iraq.
Homeland Security: Protecting the lives of American citizens, defending their personal freedom, and securing our land and resources.
Veterans: Provide for service members and their families while they serve, we must help those who return from combat to adjust to civilian life, and we must honor and never forget the service of those who do not return.

Sanctity of Life: Commitment to the protection of human dignity.
Climate Change: Establish a market-based system to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mobilize innovative technologies.
Ethics Reform: Leadership devoted to the public interest, not the special interest, and a government that fulfills its duties with unfailing integrity, accountability.
Space Program: Ensure that space exploration is top priority and that the U.S. remains a leader.
National Service: Create a Service to America initiative to strengthen the teaching and understanding of American history, culture and core ideas, and to inspire Americans to serve causes greater than their own self interest.
