  @ slakey, tangerine, lynx

  2) I read through Obama's website liked how in depth he went into the issues. I liked his Fiscal Plan (pay as you go), his Immigration Plan (provide citizenship for immigrant soldiers which I like.) Not new ideas, but so what. Nothing is ever new, in my opinion.

  Yeah, those aren't new ideas. i read through his website too. I really liked his civil rights ideas, but I was shocked at his pandering to the rural communities, and the lack of detail on a lot of items, including immigration, which was not elaborated at all. I also support CLinton's healthcare plan much more than Obama's (even though I have, knock on wood, excellent health insurance myself).

  To be honest, I've never actually listened to one of his speeches all of the way through, so for me, it has less to do with inspiring rhetoric and drinking the kool-aid. I like his policies; the same as I like Clinton's.

  I think you should listen to one of his speeches all the way through. And then another, and then another. And it might set in with you that the man is... not big on specifics.

  @tangerine - "Obama has been conspicuously silent on topics such as the prison industrial complex, the Zionist occupation of Palestine, and the economic underdevelopment of Africa." Yes, these are winning issues for anyone .. on Neptune, perhaps.

  Or maybe "plant black people" aka theroot.com, where this article came from? wtf?!

  Bottom line: half the country hates Hillary Clinton and will NEVER vote for her. Obama will crush McCain in the fall. End of story. If you don't care, fine.

  You seem very confident. Why do you think OBama will crush McCain?

  @ lynx - i voted for a republican in massachusetts also. all i'm saying is that "straight down the ticket" seems really sad to me.
