I agree with Obama "here"..people are not only hungry for something new,they may in fact demand it in November and so be it. This is the system that we have chosen.For now,the system works,I will accept the will of the people,whatever it may be.I accepted Bush even though I did not vote for him.Who knows,if Obama is elected..there "may" be a thing or two I could agree with him on. I did not vote for Bush but I managed to support the WoT.Miracles can and do happen,Obama opposes "paid" lobbyists..I can see a hint of merit in that. No candidate is all bad or for that matter,all good!

No,I do not yet support "any" candidate. I was for Rudy but Republicans rejected him. I then supported Mitt but he too was rejected by his own party members in favor of McCain. I have always respected McCain until he became a "key" figure in the push for amnesty! Since I am not a single issue voter,I was willing to reluctantly give McCain a free pass and support him. However,he has now "adopted" more policy changes that trouble me. Suddenly,the use of water boarding is not torture when he once vigorously opposed it. He opposed the Bush tax cuts but now he wants to "appear" more conservative so no he "supports" them! So no..I not only do not support Obama or McCain,I don't support any candidate who is still in the campaighn.

Obama is stating a fact,I do not see this as posturing so that he can appear to be a moderate.We ARE the United States Of America,I'm sure that Obama does not "intend" to deny that political differences exist anymore than he denies ethnic differences. He is stressing that we must remain united or divided we fall.

Again..I do not yet support any candidate,I would be very interested to see if you support McCain and
was he your first choice from the start or is he the candidate that you must
"settle" for to maintain partisanship? Please answer my question,it would be most helpful in understanding your position!
