Ok...I think that most people who answered are Rebuplicans so far! :) There doesn't seem to be much open-mindedness going on here! :)

I will be voting for Dennis Kucinich in the democratic primary even though his chances are very slim but if Kucinich backs out of the race I will vote for Barack Obama. A couple of months ago I would have said I would have voted for John Edwards if Kucinich would have backed out of the race but in last few weeks Obama has shown great ability to be a strong leader and will get my vote if Kucinich backs out.

Sen. Obama only speaks in general terms. I think he lacks any executive experience. He has only won one term in the senate and has not yet come for reelection in his own state. Second the odds of someone going directly from the senate to the white house with only senate experience has not been done in years. Most Presidents these days come from executive experience; Governors mostly because the job is similar. With this evidence i would have to say no.

I like him but I won't support him during the primaries. He has not given me any answers to the questions the democratic candidate is going to be faced with. John Edwards is the only candidate who has actually laid out a plan for many of the important issues, i.e. war in Iraq, poverty, healthcare, etc. I have not heard Obama or Clinton doing this.
I live in Travis County, Texas which is one of the very, very few democratic counties in all of Texas of which there are 254. I'm pretty involved in county politics here, and many that I speak to are supportive of Edwards also.

I think that he'll be a valuable contender in a few years but not now. I also fear that with the amount of racial radicals in this nation he stands a chance of being assassinated. Everyone knows that Jackson and Sharpton are jokes but Obama is for real and therefore a target for those radicals. State- Pennsylvania, area- North Central.

No I wont. I am in Illinois his home state.
The reason is I dont like his stands on some issues. One example is he voted to give illegals SS benefits when they have not paid into the system.

I am voting for Obama and I am from the state of NY. I disapprove of her being a senator here. She's not a New Yorker, she's a squatter!!!!!

No, North Carolina
Because he has no experience, he uses his race to get attention, he hasn't made any policy statements, he wasn't around for the election on Iraq but loves to second guess anyone who was. He seems phony to me.

Obama does not have the experience to lead this country at this point. He needs a few more years before he will be ready in my opinion.
