What intrigues me most about his lack of experience is the fact that he will be willing to learn, as opposed to everyone else who thinks they know everything and will do what THEY see fit.

Another thing is that he wants to pull out of irag, which I'm all for. However he has said nothing about his exit stradegy, and saying he is going to do it and doing it without major repercutions is another mater.
On a side note, I saw cnn doing interviews with people inside Ma Fisher's yesterday, LOL

here's the biggest thing that struck me about obama (whom i support)
he doesn't have a whole team of speech-writers. he writes most of his speeches himself, with some help from one dude who i think is like 26 maybe. but still. i hear hilary give a speech and all i can hear is the fine-tuning to hit every major demographic and every talking point. obama is just someone i can respect.
I think Rob is right, Tony: from what you told me (and from what I've read so far), Hillary is "playing games" (like that time she cried in order to "soften" her image), and Obama is trying to be as genuine as possible.
(Sure, Ifm a foreigner, but Ifm genuinely worried about you guys up there )

You're right Marcus, I just tend to argue with myself for or against a candidate until I actually vote.

I really want to vote for Obama, but I'm not entirely sure he knows how to work with the folk's in washington to make things happen.
I live in Washington, and I'd work with the guy.
He's generally well-respected in the Senate which is far more than one could say for McCain, whose own party members detest him.

Well that's a plus for me
I acually turned on Rush today, to hear what he said about George Bush Sr. endorsing McCain. It was about what I'd expected, no one is conservative enough for Rush these day's.
