I believe they would both be a great President. I voted for Obama earlier this week (advanced voting is pretty cool) for several reasons. 1) He is inspiring and his hopeful message is welcome, 2) I believe he is more of a uniter than Clinton and would be able to bring the country together more easily than she wouldMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429515669891311223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19417552.post-66500762060359971962008-02-02T18:15:00.000-05:002008-02-02T18:15:00.000-05:00Ken,Yeah, I just don't get the whole "hope-monger"...Ken,<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I just don't get the whole "hope-monger" thing. I suppose having hope is a sign that one is not totally cynical, which is apparently a requirement to enter political life these days. <BR/><BR/>Although I don't agree with several of his policies, I think Huckabee has managed to do some of the same thing on the GOP side, bringing a more genuinely Christian perspective to Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593282201891349177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19417552.post-77908067623382388662008-02-02T16:43:00.000-05:002008-02-02T16:43:00.000-05:00Dan,I appreciated reading your insights on the Dem...Dan,<BR/><BR/>I appreciated reading your insights on the Democratic side of things. As one pretty much surrounded by Republicans and talk radio, it is hard to get a true balance in conversation. As a pastor, I declare independent and feel (in most instances), my vote is for me to make in the booth - not for public knowledge.<BR/><BR/>One thing I find discouraging in this is comments from the Ken L.

I think that can be answered by examining his character in public service, in the Illinois State Senate, in the U.S. Senate, and in his work organizing folks and helping fight poverty and other awful social conditions in some of the roughest neighborhoods of Chicago.<BR/><BR/>Why doesn't he stop bickering with Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593282201891349177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19417552.post-3557317825410258772008-01-31T11:46:00.000-05:002008-01-31T11:46:00.000-05:00I'm becoming increasingly more frustrated with thi...I'm becoming increasingly more frustrated with this primary process where the few get to have the say of the many. No doubt, John probably would have done pretty much the same on Super Tuesday as he has done up until now, but I feel, as does Peter, that our voices have been taken away by all the special voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
