I am diehard pro-McCain and I think Obama is a socialist, but given the history of how we have treated blacks in this country, if I were black, I would vote for Obama no matter his policies. I can appreciate how historic tonight is going to be. I wouldn't vote for Obama because of it but I can absolutely appreciate it and be really, really proud of it. And especially on the 45th anniversary of the greatest speech of the 20th century. Did anyone see Juan Williams the other night after Michelle Obama's speech? He has been pretty hard on Obama but it was as if the magnitude of the situation hit him all at once. He couldn't keep the tears out of his eyes. Seeing that drove the point home with me in a very profound way. It's hard to explain. So, enjoy your moment Barry. We're proud of the situation. But here's hoping that Michael Steele or J.C. Watts or Herman Cain becomes the first black president in 4 or 8 years. How sad that some are you are so jaded that you can't see goodwill and kindness when it's right in front of you.

Yeah, the country needs change, the the repubs know it. That's why they've finally given McCain the nod. He has been lambasted in his presedential runs in 96 and 2000 by his own party, because he was too liberal for their tastes. He has always been an honorable man during his career in public service. He stood by his convictions even when it caused him grief within his own party. Nobody's perfect, but he definitely doesn't deserve the ire that he receives from alot of people on the liberal side of the fence.

Considering Mc Cain never supported observing MLK day, I might be exciting and historic to him. He's switch out from the negative tactics that haven't polled well. And, he's taking notes from the Obama campaign that has been more positive. Even people who won't vote for Obama observe that he always congratulates or praises his rivals before critizing them. They would say that he's pandering or paying lip service. Can any critic of Obama call this a sincere gesture? Negativity doesn't pay. Old news, so is this ad.

It seems to be a transparent fact that only certain opinions are chosen to be posted here, so I will sandwich my message between two lines and see what happens. I'm an independent voter. I have researched unbiased sources to make a responsible decision. John (trying not to use his last name which gets an automatic cut to the editing floor) is a moderate. MOderates serve the widest swath of people far better than one who sways to either side. His record of senate votes show a centrist voting style...voting clearly down the middle on issues of: economy, social issues, and foreign affairs. He is the strongest of the two candidates and worth an unbiased look. He is more likely to be the best leader for our country at this time. Just a thought I'm sharing, ... between the lines. VOTE Obama. VOTE OBAMA.
