Obama
After a brief flurry of primary activity, our voting choices are now limited to John McCain as the Republican candidate and Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton as the Democrat. As a Virginian, I am anxiously waiting for tomorrow's primary, especially since Obama and Clinton are neck-and-neck at the moment.
Either Clinton or Obama seem like reasonable choices and hey, at least John McCain is not Bush.
Clinton is now generally viewed as the candidate of experience; Obama is seen as the candidate of change.
I sense that America is on the cusp of change and whoever wins this election might be the catalyst. Do we want a wheeler-dealer like Senator Clinton or an ideologue like Senator Obama? Who can beat McCain and for that matter, do we care?
After a lot of soul searching, I will vote for change. I will vote for Obama.
I would like to see what Obama could do and if he's a bad choice, it's only four years. I am less interested in Senator Obama because of his race, then I am in his enthusiasm and attitude. He could make a difference.
