Honestly, inferring that a vote for McCain is to adhere to an "extreme" on the Republican side is to ignore reality. McCain has been one of the most moderate Republicans ever in the Senate or any other position, and his long voting record shows this, while Obama's very short and very left-wing record shows him to be the extreme candidate of the two, regardless of what the Obama worshippers in the media would have you believe. Like Churchill said: "Facts are stubborn things".

But what scares me the most is how Obama switches positions on issues depending on the aurience he is speaking with, so we end up knowing nothing about what he truly believes in, besides his belief that he should be President.

It's a bit frightening, to be honest.
