Senator Barack Obama:
This surprises nobody who reads this blog. So many Obama supporters have had their reasons questioned. Many claim that we are blinded by style and Obama has no substance. Personally, I believe that style is a vital cog to any president’s success. Why else would Ronald Reagan be viewed as such a great president to conservatives? It can’t be because he ran deficits and tripled debt.
But, Barack Obama inspires people who have never been inspired by a national politician. Voter turnout in presidential elections varies between 50 and 60 percent. Barack Obama’s campaign will likely increase that and voters will be more enthusiastic about their choice.
I believe that Obama represents a new style of governing. The temperament he has displayed is a major change from the cowboy style of George W. Bush. His first class education is based more on his own intelligence than his background. John McCain and George W. Bush both went to great schools that they would not have been able to attend on their own merit. I am not affected by the questionable associations of Senator Obama. Reverend Jeremiah Wright has yet to truly offend me. Bill Ayers associates with many important people in
Barack Obama’s policies are much better for the country than those of John McCain. First, he’ll let George W. Bush’s tax cuts expire. Those cuts benefited the rich and, while I am not against tax cuts for any group, the rich need to pay their fair share in order to pay for government spending that will occur under any administration. Obama also will push for foreign relations as opposed to military actions. Lastly, he is putting a major emphasis on education, and actually funding it.

Voter turn out has been increasing for a while, and I think at this point it's more about the lesser of two evils than being inspired or enthusiastic. But that's my opinion.
Congratulations Sen. Obama for being voted less evil than John McCain and President Bush?
None the less, I agree with the rest.
There is always a significant portion of "lesser of two evils" votes. However, more than many times before, there is greater enthusiasm from voters. That's why 200,000 people voted early in NC already. That's why more people voted in the Democratic Primary than ever before. That's why more people have given to the Obama campaign than ever before.
