1. The Obama's Have my VOTE!@!!! (look at this old pic of them)

[MiserableFailure]

2. Obama is the only top tier candidate I can vote for,

and still be able to face myself in the morning.

I will not vote for Hillary in 2008 if she gets it. Not sure about Edwards. But that is okay, because I live in New York, and my vote won't matter anyway.

3. Where were all the other candidates?

I know Hillary was there as well, but I was surprised to see that no other candidates could bother to make it.
