I sincerely hope that all the new voters/first-timers, do their research. Obama is so new that even someone like myself, whose first presidential vote was cast in 1980, has to do a ton of research on him. My biggest concerns are his inexperience, this rezco mess, and concerns that have stemmed from his church; the United Church of Christ in Chicago.

As for Rezco, I am more than a little worried about the judgement of Obama. He knew this person for well over a decade. He helped Obama's political ambitions for most of their "friendship." I say friendship because you'd have to be very naive to believe that their relationship was anything less than friendly considering the huge amount of donations Rezco generated for Obama and the land deals that they were involved with. I know Obama admitted it was a "boneheaded" move, but it was beyond stupidity considering Obama knew he had presidential ambitions.

Don't close your eyes to what the republicans will do with this Rezco-gate. This will not go away. Rezco is in deep legal trouble and Obama had real ties with him. The elephants are going to trample him with this mess.

Then as I continued my research I read how Obama relagated to very mundane and simplistic legal tasks when he joined his first law firm. Why? Because he needed to learn the ropes. Do we need another president "learning" the most powerful position of earth as he goes? That is more than worrisome. I mean if he could admit that he needed to learn his legal trade slowly, then why the heck can't he get some more experience in Washington before he tackles a job that affects every american?

Lastly, is his pastor and church. I don't know about you, but my chuch and my pastor have a very significant affect on my life. They are my spiritual guide. But, I will be fair; and just strongly suggest that it be researched. Some might conclude that this comment could be racially motivated. It is not. I am a minority. My best friend is african american. There are just some things that truly bother me. You will have to decide for yourself. It is the United Church of Christ in Chicago. I think tucc.org You might have to do a web search if that is not it.

Obama seems to be a man with many attributes, especially as an political orator. He appears to be on the road to a very promising career in political service. If he gets the nomination I cannot, in good consicence, vote for him until I am sure that he can run this nation.

All I know is that I am an American and a Christian (democrat) first and my heritage, while very important and precious, comes second.

I pray that all of you do your research.

I am so happy to hear about Ohio, I have been praying for Hillary for months now and I believe that Hillary will be our next President. This country needs her, and while watching her at the Texas Town Hall last night, when she mentioned taking our Constitution out and dusting it off, there was an outburst of applause. The Bush Administration has all but destroyed our Constitution, trying to rewrite what our forefathers spent months writing and wars and lives to defend. We need Hillary Clinton, and I pray that those who are undecided will look deep into their hearts and ask themselves, who would they want answering the phone at 3am. Hillary is much more qualified, Obama knows this, yet still wants to run a campaign that merely repeats the same thing over and over again. Hillary voted for the war, most of us would have given the information the Bush administration supplied to congress. Bush lied, we all know that, all but Obama it seems.

Possible sidebar story on Texas polling accuracy is that, failing to learn from their California experience, pollsters continued to poll in Texas without much use of Spanish speaking pollsters.

And just one more piece of information. Senator Obama is being supported by Senator Joe Lieberman as the candidate of change although he has endorsed Senator McCain. The point is Senator Lieberman helped support Senator Obama's Senatorial Campaign in 2006. His vote was the last vote that pushed through NAFTA. Senator Obama has said Senator Clinton was for NAFTA. If Lieberman voted for NAFTA why would he not reject his support as the Democratic Candidate. You decide. I have to get back to calling. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT.

Hey everybody. Joe from Oho. I have encouraging new! I called for a few hours and still calling (my target is 100 today) found that the undecided voters are leaning towards Hillary especially the seniors. The issues that concern them are health care, VA benefits and Obama's lack of experience. I am getting a good feel about OHIO. My instincts don't usually prove me wrong. Keep calling if your out there. Hillary could use any and all support. WIN ONE FOR THE BUCKEYE STATE!!!
