Even though I'm a Bush supporter, I'm still wanting the Democrats to increase their majority and am still supporting a Democrat, John Edwards, for the Presidency.

Um . . . why?

As much as I support the mission in Iraq, I want the war to come to an end, so thats why I'm supporting John Edwards.  I will probably support the Democratic nominee whoever that is, unless it is Barack Obama.  With him, I will vote for the Republican candidate.

What's your beef with Obama?

He just creeps me out for some reason, to be quite honest.  I can't place my finger on it, but he just gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Some points about Obama:

After he finished his tenure as the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, he turned down  several high-paying corporate jobs to work as a community organizer in the roughest neighborhoods of inner-city Chicago.

He was a bipartisan leader in the legislature who helped reform Illinois broken capital punishment system.  He's worked to strengthen oversight of pork barrel spending projects and reign in the influence of the K Street crowd. I hope you'll take a look at his character before you judge him harshly.

Because he is black?
My guess is that OK for Edwards is still learning about Obama, much like most of America only knows him from his brilliant oratorical feat at the 2004 Democratic Convention.

I wouldn't infer racism from his comments.  He seems like an earnest fellow, not a racist nut.
