Obama is my candidate and believe it or not, he has said and done some things that have upset me, like disavowing the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, but never once did I consider skipping the election or supporting the enemy. Was I disappointed – yes. A bit pissed off – you betcha. But, crazy enough to vote for McCain – hell no!

If you’re a Dem, you’re a Dem, and so whoever gets the nomination is who we fall in line behind to support. It’s called the bigger picture or for me, the lesser of two evils.
