-Keep religion out of policies and laws.
-Repeal Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy and lower taxes for the middle class.
-Have an optional health care plan available for everyone that equals the congressional health plan and for those who wish to keep private insurance, lower premiums and costs. (Note: Children would be required to have insurance either private or public, adults would not.)
-Refocus the health care system on prevention, not treatment.
-Increased grants, scholarships, loans for college students with the requirement of some sort of public service in return.
-Stop torturing prisoners.
-Reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reduce emissions.
-Take the money we're spending in Iraq and invest in the infrastructure of our country.
-Consider how to address Social Security by raising the cap on the amount paid in for those with an income over $200,000 (proposed only)

-Work rationally to accomplish these things. This means working with Republicans not alienating them. It may mean sacrificing a "perfect" solution to get to one that will pass.

You did better than many Obama supporters can do. I might print this out and put it in my "who will I vote for" folder.

They have a story from the New York Times reportedly linking McCain to a lobbyist by the name of Vickie Iseman back in 2000 and sources say that they may have had 'relations' ...more to come as the story breaks

Lol. I'm a political nerd right now, and for those people who say he never talks about anything in his speeches a lot of that was mentioned last night in TX.

Oh geez. At least this isn't "he fathered a black child." Of course, I heard Obama fathered two black children so he isn't one to talk.

Actually, since the beginning Obama has kind of monopolized the "well-educated" vote based on exit polls. This link was posted elsewhere on GC, but I think it shows how many people (including this reporter) mistakenly assume that Obama supporters don't know why they are supporting him.

No mistake. Some don't.
