Small business owners who are the backbone of the economy and low unemployment generally get hurt by raising minimum wages. When they are hurt, they have to layoff employees. What good is a minimum wage then? Don't vote your pocketbook – Obama's center of the universe is the people's taxes. You support him and he decides how to distribute. Judging the effectiveness in his use of funding in the Annenburg project, that should be a huge concern to voters. But the bigger concern should be foreign relations and how many eastern and fundamentalist Islamic countries view him as a tribal brother and potential ally with them. Is Obama strong enough to resist the temptation of not just American, but global, infatuation with him? If he does get himself elected, we better hope for a Republican Congress to implement important 'checks and balances'. Just thinking…..

This is something you need to think about if you are planning to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. Do you think McCain cares about the average American? – Think again! In 26 years John McCain voted against increasing the minimum wage 18 times. In the same 26 years he voted for tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of America 27 times. Why should that matter to you? McCain believes in a trickle down economy. You know if the wealthy get wealthier they will share with you. Obama believes in a trickle up economy, higher salaries for workingmen and women. When they earn more money they are able buy or keep homes, resulting in more employment in building trades. They buy clothes for their children, resulting in more Wal-Mart and GAP jobs. They will purchase new trucks and cars that will keep auto workers employed. Now what is better for this nation a trickle down economy or a trickle up economy? This republican is voting for Obama because we have tried a trickle down economy for eight years and look where this nation is now! Could it get any worse with Obama/Biden?

Mike, quit trying to pass yourself off as a disgruntled Republican.

The tide has turned, people are having their eyes opened and I predict Obama goes down BIG in November.

Of course Obama is beating McCain!

If a real conservative would have won this race wouldnt be close.
I'm supporting Obama, I'd rather have a liberal that calls himself a liberal than a liberal that calls himself a Republican!!!!
