2) Just because people see Obama as the lesser of two evils doesn't mean they're "worshiping" him. If he makes it into office--we'll see just how well he does, but frankly, if I've got to choose, I'm choosing Obama, because I LIKE my rights as a woman (notice the bill Republicans are trying to send through that basically allows health care providers to prevent women from accessing any birth control), and I would like to not keep paying taxes out of my rear end while oil company CEOs making 100 times what I do in a year get off easy because they're in the President's pocket.
I'm really not even political, frankly, but it seems like a no-brainer for anyone under the age of 60 who makes less than 200K a year.

I think that's very well said. Anyone making less than 250,000 dollars a year will benefit under Obama's tax plan. That's 95% of taxpayers if anyone's keeping score.
And I'll admit a self-interested pitch there--Obama's tax plan benefits me to the tune of several hundred dollars a year. And I don't mind telling you that I find that a compelling argument, as much as I'm sure I'll appreciate the great, glowing pile of nothing I'll get under McCain's tax plan.
Add to that the possibility of finally getting some version of universal health care in this country, and I'm willing to forgive the rest.
