Many will vote Republican simply because they always have in the past...regardless of what issues are on the table! It's the easy vote and has always been the easy vote! Who wants to admit to being a Democrat around the water cooler or a social event?? A large majority of folks look at you like you have the plague because they may presume you are a baby killer, or unpatriotic, or a same sex supporter, or whatever drivel right wing nation might stamp on your back! I have seen it happen numerous times! A good friend of mine told me he is voting for McCain because he doesn't belive in abortion! Zip. That's it. This guy actually got support from others in the room! It doesn't make sense and it's a cop out joke to vote for any candidate on solely one issue alone! Does abortion rights really affect the run of this country??? **** no they don't because what ruins this country are these trailer park *****s who pop out 5 kids with no job and no husband and live off govt aid because they are too uneducated to know better! And friends that's not a Rep or Dem problem...it's a US problem! "I'm gonna vote for McCain because he is a war hero!!!" So what!? Does that classify him as a better candidate?? No it does not! Period. You Republicans vote in George W and then have the audacity to say how landslided the character debate is between Obama and McCain! George W will go down as the worst president our country ever had to endure! Ever. Period. He makes Carter look like Kennedy!

Well you might want to get adjusted to fact that Obama will win the presidency! Go to Costco/WalMart whatever and get your water supply and hide in your bunkers because a change is coming! Let's try to go 8 years without living in fear! Let's see what a positive change can do for our country! Let's not vote in an upper crust puppet who flip flops more than a fish on a seaside dock! VOTE OBAMA...

Rothko, I have always respected your opinion and have occassionally agreed with your views but how can Obama promise a tax break to 95% of the people yet plan to spend billions/trillions? It is MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for 5% to cover his spending plan! Now I know you disagree with the war in Iraq but what about this

Body count:
In the last six months:

292 killed
(murdered) in Chicago;

221 killed in Iraq.

Chicago…. Who Runs it: Senators: Barack Obama & Dick Durbin
Rep: Jesse Jackson Jr.,
Illinois Gov: Rod Blogojevich,
Illinois House leader Mike Madigan,
Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike),
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of Mayor Richard J. Daley)
….. leadership in Illinois…..all Democrats.
Of course, they’re all blaming each other!
Can’t blame Republicans; they’re aren’t any!
State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County
(Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look ‘em up if you want).
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.
And he’s gonna ‘fix’ Washington politics for us?

Now if Obama can't fix a State that is controlled by DEMOCRATS how in the HELL can he fix AMERICA when our government is now controlled by the Democrats.
