Barack Obama for President

Anyone who has known me for any period of time probably knows that my views have usually been either conservative or moderate.  I have rarely backed a liberal candidate.  Well, this coming Presidential election is changing that for me.  Barack Obama has impressed me with his candor, calm demeanor, straight-talk and (this may sound silly) how well connected his campaign is on the Web. 

To me, he seems to be the NEW TYPE OF CANDIDATE... not one that is dependent on special interest money (he has more individual donors than any other candidate).  He is giving all of us individuals a voice and I am very happy to support him.

That said, I would not support a Hilary/Barack ticket (any way it's configured).  Fidel Castro recently stated that a Clinton/Obama ticket is invicible.  Senator Clinton (to me) is a very scary candidate.  She seems to be the polar opposite of the current President... swinging the pendulum that far to one side will not be positive for our country.  I'd like to see Barack join up with Al Gore... THAT would be an unbeatable ticket!
