I am more concerened about that and where they stand morally also, on abortion and gay marriages,which as a Christian I am opposed to. So, it will be very difficult for me to make a decision. I agree with someone earlier who said Blacks are not monolithic in their thinking and there are a majority of us who are trying to vote consciously.

My sister in Christ, please remember that just as Blacks are not monolithic in their thinking, neither are Christians.
I think that your statement, "which as a Christian I am opposed to," perhaps purposefully, perhaps not, implies that a pro-life stance is the "Christian" vote. I am a Christian and I believe abortion is wrong, but I don't believe this moral issue should be legislated. Do I believe abortion is wrong? Yes. Do I believe its a sin? Yes. Do I believe what I consider sinful should be conferred on the rest of the nation? No. Thus, I am pro-choice- I don't believe its any of the government's business.
