>I am really not into labels or firsts at all. Yeah, I think it would be kind of cool, and a good signal to the rest of the world, if we elected a black candidate. But that isn't why I'm for Obama. IMO he is a very rare candidate in our lifetimes. It's an easy choice for me to prefer him to McSame, who wants to build a bridge to the 20th century. (And not necessarily the latter part). It's a sign of how conservative the U.S. has become that this race is even close.

Can you list the policies of Obama's you support and believe are good for this country? The last you told me, you were not interested in policies and were voting based on your 'gut.' Hopefully that has changed...I can't believe you would actually vote for a president based on the media's portrayal of him...
