I'm all ears - I have no real draw to any of these candidates.

Candidate of change? Seriously? Classic you are smarter than that. None of the candidates are really proponents for change. Not in the way you mean it, anyway. The only real change any of them are interested in is seeing their address change. Real proponents of change wouldn't survive in politics long enough for you to even learn their names. Every person in the race has been around long enough and compromised enough that the only hope for change you'll find is in their rhetoric. Once the winner moves into the White House they will begin their reelection campaign so they won't want to make too many enemies.
If you need a president to make you proud of the country then the country isn't worth being proud of anyway. Our nation is a great nation because of the people you meet everyday - not the douchebags on tv. The people that wake up every day, go to work, and try to improve life for their families. The people that have to make hard decisions everyday (are getting new tires more important than replacing the refrigerator this month?) are far more important than the people who talk year in and year out about medical care. The family that weighs the risk and decides it is better to start their own small business than spend another day working for someone else, contribute more to our economy than all the suits talking about tax code combined. The woman who is worried about paying for the kids' school supplies but still manages to give a couple bucks to the guy on the corner is doing more for the poor than all the jokers debating the size and scope of tax rebates.
Be proud of the country based on the real people in it, not the assholes that get elected.
