Obama

I am supporting Barack Obama for the Democratic Presidential candidate. I generally don't come right out and say it, but this time I'm worried! In fact, I will probably vote for McCain if Clinton gets the nomination.

Despite the fact that Obama is a "Junior" Senator (as is Hillary), I think some people are just meant to be leaders. He has tried to stay out of the mud-slinging, he is pragmatic. He is not entrenched and beholden to the political and corporate machine on the same massive scale as the Clintons.

So please check out his site and really think him over between now and your primary date. It's going to take all of us because the Clintons have so much power. And they just want more.

WHAAAAAT?!!!! ;) i thought he was the anti-christ. tehehehe. ;) i'm surprised that you'll vote for clinton over mccain. it's a toss-up for me. i'd vote for mccain on the same reason as you mentioned, but his stance on most issues sound more of the same from bush. although, i'm not sure if immediate withdraw from iraq is such a good idea either... so hard.
but hey, i'm hearing now (9AM) that edwards is dropping out. i was actually getting interested in his candidacy, but i feel as though it would help obama. it shall be interesting how he comes out with his speech/endorsement. i've become such a junkie, it's a bit scary. wish we were in the car everyday talking about this stuff. :)

oh, i meant mccain over clinton. maybe we could have campaigned for him together. darn~ sounds like hillary is up by more than 20 points (according to those famous polls) in MA.
a friend here who was a staunch hillary support went to obama just as enthusiastically last weekend, after hearing his victory speech in s.c. amazing how he can inspire people like that. that speech brought tears to her, as well as mine, eyes. chills! ;)
