You can say alot of things about the people running but you can say only this about Obama he refuse to put his hand over his heart and say the Plege of Alligence. Why, if a man cannot honor what so many Americans died for then he is not the man for me. I really don’t know who I’m voting for but I know it is not Obama.

There are so many valid reasons to vote for Obama, a man of conscience, honor, dignity, good character, and more than enough experience to be our President. On a practical level it is most important to acknowledge his “coattails”…..his ability to help other Democratics get elected. Obama will need a strong Democratic Congress to effect the many changes our Nation needs to make. He is part of a badly needed solution. Hillary, on the other hand, has no coattails….many Reps & Senators don’t want her on the stump with them. Lastly, she is consistently out-polled on the issue of Trust when put up against Obama. Why in the world would anyone vote for someone they distrust…..shades of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice/and all those other “experienced” folks(liars one & all).

Paul,

Religion should not be a litmus test regarding an elected official. Would you dislike Obama if he were a Jew or Hindu?

Please, judge the man by his record and political and business actions and not by which God he prays to. Otherwise you are practicing a fools errand.

For those who may be thinking about voting for Senator Obama:

Do yourself a favor and visit the website of Trinity United Church of Christ. This is Senator Obama’s home church based just outside Chicago. The web address is :
www.tucc.org

Please take the time to read carefully what his church espouses. Look at their news magazine. It is called the Trumpet; you can access it from the church’s home page. It seems there is an article this month relating to the honerable Rev. Dr. Louis Farakaan.

After you have done this, if you still believe Mr. Obama is your man, then God bless you.

I’ll keep doing what I am doing; which is to try and give people a little information to mull over when thinking about who to vote forin November.

Nevada! Think again people!! Obama may be inspiring and people believe that he ‘May” they say!!!
May is not good enough! The challenges we are facing and will be facing will be enormous and Obama has really not done anything in the past to prove he is ready to be our leader. Some say because he is a Man
Well do they say how he stands on Social Security? Ecconomy? War? He did vote no for the war ( High sight is bliss) and then he voted yes for the funding of the war??????? Does Obama say where he stands on Social Security?, economy? Or any other issues that are important on running the Country? NO!

THINK AGAIN NEVADA! because you as all the middle class people need to know and understand that just telling us will not be good enough. God help us all to see the light of what is ahead and that we vote for the most qualified!!!

Barrack Obama does not have may vote. He is not experience enough to run our country. He is a Jr. Senator from Illinois. What has he done for Illinois?
Not very much!!!!. He is an empty vessel full of empty promises that he can not make well on. Why? His empty words are change, hope, we can do it. How??? You need experience to have made changes and to make future changes. You need experience to bring hope to a reality. We can do it. Who is we the people that will believe these empty words? No we can not risk putting our Wonderful Country in the hands of an inexperienced. We are going thru crucial times, more challenges awaits us ahead so I am sorry I can not in true conscience vote for someone that articulates well but does not made his mark previously and that we need to give the benefit of the doubt that he will.
We can not afford to give the benefit of the doubt on Maybe he can, he might be able to pull it off!!! We need experience to bring us a better economic stand, we need experience to end this war, we need experience to bring global respect! Obama just does not have the experience, however he does have the gift of gab and we must really think again!!! We have!

Senator Obama has my vote hands down…I do not trust Hillary or Bill Clinton’s motives and their propensity and eagerness to engage in dirty politics…Hillary tell us why you should be President not why someone should not. That is not part of the interviewing process. You are interviewing for the job tell us why you are the best candidate ~ Barack has done this. We know exactly what we will be getting as a President…someone who is able to include all opinions in the process and the judgement to provide solutions for the greater good, preservation and the original vision and concept of this country ~ the United States of America. You know Barack is the best candidate…this is why you keep plagerizing his talking points! you have yet to have an original thought.

After 28 years of Bush & Clinton, Obama is a breath of fresh air. I hope Culinary’s endorsement is the first of many. Step up Nevada

What a hoot,60,000 Culinary Workers Union support. Was this the union leaders or the members? Seems a little strange that all of the member would go for this.
When Ron Paul will stop taxes on tips, giving that money to the people tat need it the most. Get our and be a delegate and vote for RON PAUL.
