How to decide

Super Tuesday is fast approaching, what's a voter to do?

I wanted to offer some interesting websites that help a bit in getting more specific information on each of the candidates. I would also highly recommend going to the candidate website for the serious plan details, that back up the sound bites. I would also take into account your "feeling" about them as well.

I disagree with several Obama views, but not by much, and he inspires me. And more importantly, he seems to inspire many.

We just saw the movie Bobby last night. There were loads of news clips of the real Bobby Kennedy on the day leading up to his assassination as well as his speech explaining his running for President. It could have been given today. He spoke so plainly and truthfully-it was really moving. He moved people. He acted on his word until his life was cut short.

Today, Teddy, Carolyn and Patrick Kennedy endorsed Obama. It reminded me that optimism in the face of what seems impossible and hopeless is just what is needed. Courage to believe again in what our country can be. Who each of us can be.

OK. OK. Here are the resources:
