Difference between Obama and others is consistency on the issues - for example - the Iraq war and unequivocal support for universal healthcare, anti-global-warming measures, and anti-poverty legislation.
re : seeing differences among us politicians - with the US media they are equal - in meaningless hype.
Obama is not more attractive because he's black - and that idea is part of a history of Black intellectuals being written off as "liberal tokens" by US racists.
Your voting for Obama because of his hype. I understand what your saying. He is very interesting I agree and I will probably vote for him, but please don't just vote for him because of his hype. I am voting for him because of his present views on health care, and the war. Plus his speaking ability and realness if you will is more apparent in him than in any other democratic candidate at this point.
I think the hype is great. Sure some people are going to vote for him because of it, but I think most of the people in America will look past the hype and find out that Obama is truely the man for the job.
people vote for odd reasons, in PA Obama was told that he may miss some voters because of race, and he replied "I also know that some will not vote due to my large ears."
Humor is a great antidote to hate.
Id just like to add that we each will make up our own mind. I respect 2 of the three candidates, but cannot imagine something that would move me away from voting Obama in 08.

And I have a large imagination.
