I don't agree with him on everything; he believes that No Child Left Behind can be retooled and revamped, but I think it's unnecessary federal bureaucracy and a waste of money to even try. He's also the pro-choice candidate, and as a pro-choice woman, I want someone who is going to continue to support Roe v. Wade. Generally, though, he is the candidate most in line with my views. And he is inspiring--he has "it".

I won't keep jumping in after every post, but this is a great example of providing beliefs, facts, and feelings why you support your candidate. This is more of the direction I would like this discussion going.
Thanks snowy... do you have any concerns about specifics in Obama's platform that you hope to see in more detail later, or are you generally satisfied. Again, like Will... no gotcha's here, just trying to demonstrate how someone may ask for additional insight without confrontation.
With that... I'll back off and let things progress how they will.
