How Much Decisiveness Is Just Right?

Mickey Kaus suggests that McCain is too decisive.

No convention today! ... OK, it's on! ... The economy's sound... No, wait, it's going to fall apart unless I go to Washington tomorrow! ... We need a commission! ... We need to fire somebody! ... Get me Andrew Cuomo! ... I want ten more debates! ... But let's postpone the one we've scheduled! ... Do you get the impression a McCain presidency would be a bit exhausting?

But GayPatriot rants that Obama is too indecisive.

Strong and confident he may appear in image. Uncertain and indecisive he has become on the issues. His campaign slogans of hope and change have absolutely no meaning whatsoever. As he himself wrote, "I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views."

There's plenty of debate about decision,
and certainly no shortage of derision!
