Re: [Dems2008] Sell Me On Obama

Thanks Rob you've put that well. I would like to
believe he could unite the country but if he can't, I
want somebody who will bulldoze policy through to get
this country back on track. Obama and McCain already
had a run-in back during the ethics reform deal, and
if you recall, the media played that as though McCain
put junior back in his place. I want to know that the
candidate this time will fight for us if we run into
another Florida or Ohio voting situation because
frankly, I'm sick of democratic nominees who take the
high road all the way to loserville.
