Although I'm from PA, so I guess I better carry my rosary and a gun to the polls. Right, Barack?

no, Im thinkin the same way too...somewhat, these aholes should be paying us to run for this office, then wed get the truth... Im sick of the whole selection scheme, have been for years... McCain is a numbnut, Obama a hood and Hillary a leftover... we are doomed regardless...and so is the war...

How sad that you would vote for McCain because your candidate did not win. You should listen to your candidate a little more as she stated she would do just that support Obama if he were the nominee. He has said the same thing. Think about what you are saying. Are you saying that the last 7 years were fine with you, the war, the economy etc, are you saying that you disagree with your candidate on the War, Education, Housing Crisis, Jobs, Oil, healthcare and all the other issues she has spoken of. So maybe tell me why you were a supporter of hers to begin with if the policy between the Democrats and Republicans aren't an issue with you.

Hillary has said to her supporters not to vote for McCain if she doesn't win the nomination, that - in her words would be a "grave error"

She also said that her and Obama are more similar on the issues that any Democrat & McCain

What are your thoughts on that?

A lot of voters may not decide until the nominees choose their running mates and that has a lot of impact. It looks like Obama is catching up on the poll!

I have one major difference in opinion with Obama.....he is way off on the lunatic fringe on abortion. I'm not even a huge Hillary fan, I just find her to be the lesser of the evils and the more experienced of the two D candidates. I am pro-life, but obviously if I'm OK with a candidates other policies, I can vote for a pro-choice candidate even if I disagree with their view....just in the hope that maybe better healthcare and better economic conditions may cut down on abortion (I did vote for John Kerry, but that was more of an anti-war and anti-Bush vote than anything). But Obama is off on the fringe...openly supporting partial-birth abortion, and opposing the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act when he was a state senator in Illinois (which eventually passed the US Senate unanimously, meaning even pro-choice senators had no problem voting for this legislation). Obama is even further to the left of Planned Parenthood and NARAL on abortion.

I also don't need Hillary to tell me how to vote. Not all that long ago, McCain's name was tossed about as a potential running mate for John Kerry in 2004...so he can't be that far to the right.

Personally, the one candidate I liked the most is Ron Paul...but God forbid any candidate stray from the R or D party platform and they get blackballed.

thats so he can continue to ensure the unwed sistuhs who fill the state run hospitals (who cant get any nurse in the country to work for them because the way they let everybody die) by walking in the emergency rooms with an earache with 3 cell phones snapped to their belts, and 18 gold earrings in their lips and nostrils will get waited on before the old white guy having a stroke who has been in there 6 hours ....

this aint exactly rocket science as to what Obama is really all about...IS IT??

No, MrK, you've been misled about the Induced Birth Infant Liability Act. It was a legal strategy and Obama recognized that.
