How are you voting?

perhaps in the actual election. irregardless of how much you know, you have heard one or the other speak at some point. perhaps you liked what you heard, or feel he speaks well. i wouldnt dare vote in the actual election, i dont even know the difference between republican and democrat

Hitler was probably one of the best orators ever. Just go watch some of his speeches and see how worked up the crowds get.

That's pretty much why I think people need to actually know a little something about who/what they are voting for. Just because someone speaks well (including Obama) doesn't mean they're automatically god-like. In the case of politicians, I would actually be more wary of someone who speaks well. Luckily, it doesn't seem as though Obama is the sort that is just talking nicely so he can get the crowd behind him. He actually seems to have a lot of really good plans, though they might be a bit overly ambitious. I don't expect that he will deliver EVERYTHING that he's promising, because I don't see how it's even possible.
