I personally can't stand Oprah. She holds alot of the same views I do,it's true, but her personality grates on me bigtime. Obama, then, was not my first choice to be the Dem's candidate, but he is my choice now. We started backing John Edwards, as his views on social justice were very important to us. After Edwards dropped out, we were at a loss for a few weeks as to who would be our choice. Hillary's initial approval of the hellish debacle in Iraq and her flag burning amendment angered us to no end and we decided we couldn't back her. Obama is a good speaker and we had been watching his career for awhile, but we just didn't think that he could make it. As he has progressed, though, we have come to like him more and more. He courageously voted against the black check that has become Iraq, particularly, and education and empowerment, we have become Obama supporters and will definitely be voting for him in November.
