I'm a registered Democrat - for now. I'll switch to Independent when I renew my driver's license next month. In the meantime: yes I decided between those two a couple of months ago when Obama gave his speech in response to the "problem" of his former pastor. He struck me as being the very best available antidote to the problems that have been caused by the past 4 presidents. We need something better than the same ol' same ol' politics!

Yes, I have decided. I have decided that no one tells the truth anymore!!!! They all just say what the public wants to hear. Just who can we believe? I just ask God to have the say so in this election. I will vote, but I have to say it is for the lesser of two evils. Mr. Obama cannot say that he has sit under the ministry of "that" preacher for all those years and never heard the "hate" he preached. I will never believe that.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD!
Faith is important. Our heavenly Father must be so disappointed in us. The morals of this country have decayed to the point you have to wonder if we have "any" morals left. May God have mercy on the USA.

There you go again. Falling for right wing propaganda, and falling for artificial campaign messages.

Everyone who is so disturbed by Rev. Wright's 15-second sound bites is believing the same old TV-generated caricatures. It ain't reality people -- it's TV -- and TV is about as phony and manipulative as it gets.

I'm voting for Obama, because I think he's the best of the three -- but he has a lot to answer for regardless. But nobody with good sense should expect him to answer for his minister. That's not the question voters or reporters should be posing to him or his campaign -- even if Bill O'Reilly tells you to.

Voters need to ask Obama: What have you actually done to change things during your political career?

If you look at his record, you see a politician that has played it very, very safe during his short political career -- when he wasn't busy making good on his book contract. Didn't he have a lot of work to do after getting in the Senate four years ago? With all the problems America has, how did he have time to write a second autobiographical book?

He says he opposed the war, yet he failed to challenge any of Bush's war appropriations requests. He did vote against that horrible bankruptcy bill -- that was a good thing. But
he also voted for the oil company tax breaks last year. New senators have mentors -- his was Joe Lieberman. He's a Constitutional lawyer, who like all the candidates, took an oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemied foreign AND domestic" Yet he -- just like Hillary and McSame -- failed to mobilize against the Bush administration's torture policies and trampling on our Bill of Rights. Furthermore, Hillary's health care plan makes a lot more sense than his, although none of the candidates have the best plan -- which is single payer.

The message of "Change" is simply a campaign-generated message delivered by an extraordinarily charismatic, inspiring, classy politician that caught fire early on, so his campaign decided to run with it. His record and his plans do not represent extraordinary change or challenge to the status quo any more than Hillary's.

According to the media it’s already decided! Who do we think we are, thinking we will chose who will be the President? It’s up to States with earlier primaries, delegates or super delegates, or the Supreme Court who will be president. I left out the ridiculous Electoral College.

I will be at the polls in November, but it will be to vote against all the bond issues that cost me money and not to elect a president.

When all the primaries are held on the same day I’ll consider voting for a president. Now it’s up to New Hampshire, Ohio and the other States that have the primaries in the beginning. Every four years this becomes a bigger and bigger farce.

I am unaffiliated and I am going to vote for Hillary Clinton. Obama is too extreme for America

I'm voting for Obama.His plans for our country is alot better than Hillary's and i don't like where she stands on free trade and her lobbyist firm trying to sell our ports to Dubai.Time for a new direction.

Yes, I have decided. I have decided that no one tells the truth anymore!!!! They all just say what the public wants to hear. I have never voted Democratic before but I am voting for Hillary Clinton because I think she has the best, hit the ground running experience.
I just ask God to have the say so in this election. I will vote, but I have to say it is for the lesser of two evils. Mr. Obama cannot say that he has sit under the ministry of "that" preacher for all those years and never heard the "hate" he preached. I will never believe that.

On one hand we have a bitchy female lawyer who is married to a lawyer and on the other hand we have a lawyer who is married to a bitchy female lawyer. This November one of these two lawyers will be up against a genuine American hero who is married to an extremely attractive woman who heads up a large beer distributorship.
Looks like a no-brainer to me . . .

"There you go again. Falling for right wing propaganda, and falling for artificial campaign messages."

(Yawn)

If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination as of right now I'll vote for her; however, if Obama wins, I'll vote for John McCain.

I simply cannot get beyond that if Obama is a reasonable man, how he could have listened to the nonsense of "Rev." Jeremiah Wright for more than 30 seconds. Please don't even get me started on his hate mongering with the "Black Liberation" texts by Cone which he upholds. If Obama would sever his ties to Wright and admonish his hate-mongering behavior, that would go a LONG ways for me.

It makes no difference, McCain wins.

"If Obama would sever his ties to Wright and admonish his hate-mongering behavior, that would go a LONG ways for me."

O great Sensei - you're kidding, of course. It's totally impossible for B.O. to "sever" his ties with Wright: after 20 years, he's been thoroughly inculcated with the leftist rhetoric of his trusted, longtime pastor- not to mention his many other associations and sources.

Even if he should publicly repudiate Wright and end his membership in the church, he would still have all those hours of indoctrination imbedded in his celebellum to make policy decisions with. B.O. is well beyond liberal: he's kissing cousins wiht Fidel and Hugo. Don't kid yourself, great master!

I just saw Wright's diatribe at the NPC. It was a predictable flaunting of his marxist liberation theology and leftist policital commitments, dressed up in sweet-sounding reconciliation garb. He was eloquently arrogant, and deceptively "convincing," just like his younger protege. And his noisy claque was eating it up. I fear many will swallow it - on the other hand, if there is any discernment left in America, it may indeed be the death knell for the leftist, nominally American Obama.
