So it looks like we'll be getting the Hillary plan no matter who wins and "health care" is not really a rallying cry. For me it comes down to who wants out of Iraq the most so we can get our economy back in order. I think it's Obama. I'm waiting for my "got hope?" t-shirt to arrive.

It was a nice. However, the only specifics I really care about are in his voting record and not a book or any other pro-him propaganda he may produce. His voting record is not appreciably different than Hillary's. Or Edwards'. Or anyone else's with a (D) next to his or her name. Or John McCain's. I absolutely believe that people are getting caught up in a cult of personality with Obama. You don't stand out in the cold or wait in your seat for hours to listen to a guy talk because of his policies and ideas. You come to feel the fervor. Like religious folks get at a Benny Hinn revival. The Sun didn't play up the "rock star" appeal Obama's visit for nothing. I'm not saying Obama is not the best orator on the trail. I'm saying he's not so much a different kind of politician as he is just a different politician. Maybe that's enough for most people but it's not enough for me. Not that it matters. No matter who gets elected it'll be back to the same old same old, or it will get worse. As for Huckabee, well, republicans aren't looking for a savior the way democrats are. http://www.rumorsdaily.com/2008/01/21/troeltsch-examines-clinton-vs-obama-on-voting-record-differences/ http://demo.excelsis.com/clinton-obama-mccain-vote-comparison.html I read The Audacity of Hope.

Obama has written two books, including a massive 400-page tome all on positions and policy, and I've read both. Some of us have spent months, years even, doing research on the guy and are happy with the innumerable specifics we've learned. Mike Huckabee is a great speaker - much funnier than Obama, in fact - and not a bad looking guy; are his followers just easily led by looks and rhetoric?
