I'm an undecided voter, but I am thrilled to have 2 strong candidates to choose from.
Reading the letters, I will say that the attitude of the Obama supporters is a real turnoff. The nastiness is not doing your candidate any favors. The man should be able to win on his own merits, not by tearing others down or by blowing him all out of proportion (Lincoln?)
And 2 factually incorrect pieces of information keep cropping up that should be corrected. Obama did not spend YEARS as a community organizer. He did it for 2-3 years between college and law school. The kind of thing you do to build up your resume while taking the LSATS, if you have an interest in politics, like working for NYPIRG. It's not bad, but it's not THAT impressive.
#2, Hillary Clilnton was NEVER a corporate lawyer for WalMart, and she did not work for WalMart. She was asked to be on the board when they were getting criticised for not having any women on the board. She was the first female member and was in fact responsible for getting them to put together the first plans for environmentally friendly stores. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/20/us/politics/20walmart.html
Let's win or lose on the truth. These candidates deserve no less.
