He is followed by an entourage of journalists whereas McCain is apparently sufffering almost a media blackout. Being press friendly is part of politics, of course, but it would be a shame if that backfired on Obama because the public fears conspiracy. I hope there is a failry level playing field and both sides have a roughly equal (albeit way too big) campaign budget as well as equal access to the media. I still hope Barack makes it though.

No, thank you, I will not vote for His divine Majesty, Lord Obama, God, saint, Messiah, and King. May I hazard a prediction? I don't think the rest of the country will, either. My worry is what will happen when we, the unwashed, vote against clear and repeated instructions. Cheers. My dear sir!

That forced me to the center, and continues to push me left. Here's one vote in the U.S. for Obama coming from a demogrpahic that is supposed to be McCain friendly.. Now if I can just find a few more I too started out very much on the right when I was younger, but the ‘conservative’ movement in the U.S. was kidnapped by the ‘evangelical’ right. That forced me to the center, and continues to push me left.
