I like Hillary Clinton...Sorry...
I have and am voting for Barack Obama.
He wasn't my first choice and yes I originally felt that he was shoved down our throats but so was Mrs. Clinton.
We had several wonderful candidates who couldn't get a word in edgewise over the female or the colored guy.
Their voices weren't heard by the masses..And that angers me.
I thought long and hard about who to support when Edwards dropped out of the race and I'll admit that I picked the candidate that I believe had the best chance of defeating McCain.
But the trial by fire that Sen Obama has gone through since then, and the way he has run his campaign has sort of inspired me.
I was at the beginning an avid Obama supporter..Now I don't know what I am..
All I know is that we need something new,something better..And I NOW don't give a shit if Obama was shoved down our throats..
He is the right man, and this is the right time.
And if he isn't..I'll vote for the right Woman

4. That's exactly right -
Politically, he got game.

I've never seen anyone under fire as collected as he is. It is astonishing.


And if he don't work out, we got Hillary

6. This DU'er just can't get excited about the "Same old Shit"
I'll vote for and support either one but Dennis or John were WAY better. ...And were going to shoot for true change
not "Republican Lite"

10. oh ok. sorry, didn't mean to just assume like that.
Its late and i didn't get the sarcasm. My grandmother and her friends are the only black people i know who still use the word so Im never really shocked when they say it cause I understand the time they grew up in.
