  LeCastor

  Sorry, I'm trying to work and give you a very detailed reason why I'm supporting Obama. Though, to be honest, I'll support Clinton if she gets the Nom. It's just not that deep for me; Just as long as it's a Democrat.

  First, I want to preface everything I say with the following:

  1) I was completely undecided up until the day of the primary. I watched some of the debates and thought Clinton came out better; I liked the clips I saw of Obama's speeches, I guess, but fiery speeches remind me too much of church.

  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.

  3) I liked Clinton's plans too, though, I couldn't really see much of a difference between them. Finally, down to the wire, I had to do a web test and figure out which one I agreed more with; It was Obama by 4 percent, so I voted for him.

  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 say I'm a supporter, but it's really just that I voted for him. I decided at the beginning of this race I wouldn't campaign for anyone until they got the nomination; I respect and admire both of them. I'm sorry if that offends you Le Castor, but it's the truth.
