Obama
Reason: McCain's pick of Palin

[Anonymous]

Obama, because the Supreme Court justices whom he appoints will determine whether my daughter's children and grandchildren enjoy the liberty and equality that this nation owes to them.

Obama.
Approach to foreign policy.

Neither - McCain is for the rich (and I'm not rich) and Obam talks a good game but I doubt he'll come through.

So will you not vote, or choose Nader or Barr?

McCain because I really do not like democrats.

I'm voting for Obama, but I have to say that the hypocrisy of many Democrats drives me crazy. We heard so much about the Democrats' support and concern for the "little people," and now we hear that if you are a reporter whose organization can't pony up lots of cash you won't have access to Obama et al. on election night (see today's Washington Post story on page A4.) Obama's huge support from "little" donors has been touted, and yet he's raised less (percentage-wise) from small donors than Bush did in 2004 (today's Post page A7). His fundraisers have found creative ways to bring in much more money than the FEC allows from any one individual. This, plus his refusal to take public financing, make me wonder whether he really does care about the little people. How about using some of that $150 million to help hurting people instead of blasting us with yet another ad?

Same here.

Obama b/c I am saddened at the state of this country right now and believe he will work towards undoing a great deal of the damage the conservative republicans have caused. He also represents my family and belief system concerning the world and our government much more than McCain (Palin is not even in the same universe-the thought of her ever becoming President if something happened to McCain is just beyond belief and terrifying for me).

Obama
1) International Relations. Can we avert further war and unstability in the world?
2) Social policies/Civil liberties/Supreme Court (reproductive freedoms, gay rights, women's rights)
3) Environment
4) Palin. I don't think McCain will be with us much longer and she is NOT capable of being President.

A few of my friends have raised some of the same points that your raised in your posts (re how Obama should spend his riches). This is my question. How much leeway does Obama have to spend the campaigns million on items other that campaign related. Can he legally just hand out $100 bills to the little people? now or even after the election? Also, given that the donors gave money to Obama to campaign would it not be going against their wishes to spend it on other matters?

I am not an expert on campaign finance law, there must be some limitations on what he can do with the money.

Obama:
1. Respect for the Constitution --- we need to restore the rule of law in our nation and improve our moral standing overseas.
