It's not very descriptive, especially the last one. McCain gets "victory", and Obama gets "failure", but their actual plans are not explained. Obama wants to slowly withdraw troops from Iraq. I can see how that would be construed as failure. But what does McCain want to do? Last I heard, he wants to stay in Iraq indefinitely. Some of the categories do not look at the whole picture. And, of course, this is to be expected, and everyone does it, but: Obama's side is a bright red, as if to say, "danger!" McCain's side, on the other hand, is a nice, soothing yellow.
