"Obama impresses me as a person of high values, of a charismatic personality and plenty smart. I read his book, The Audacity of Hope, and believe it to represent my basic moral values." - Alan Elmore Greenville SC

From Irwin From - "Because he is not John McCain"

From Rhona Paul in Charleston SC - "I support and will vote for Barack Obama because he is intelligent, compassionate and a strong leader. He wants to bring everyone together to heal this country and make it stronger for everyone, not just the rich. We desperately need those qualities in our next President. Eight years of the Bush Administration has almost bankrupted our country. Bush only cares about making his friends and cronies richer and more powerful than they already are. It's shameful. Barack Obama wants to lift up the down trodden, help the middle-class reclaim their place as the backbone of America and have the super-rich pay their fair share. He wants to help EVERYONE get an education without drowning in debt shortly after graduating from college. He wants to see that everyone will be able to afford healthcare. Lifting up everyone will make our nation stronger and make our economy stronger. Barack Obama is just the man to get the job done."

The U.S. cannot afford to have one more conservative jurist appointed by a Republican president. For the sake of all the progressive advances made in the last century, we must have a Democratic president to stem the tide of disastrous right wing judicial appointments made by "Dubbia". - Doug Taylor
