Lobbyists aren't bad as long as they are a non-profit organization, it's fine if the prez candidates takes money from the right organizations as long as he (or she) doesn't fall into corporate owner's pockets.
I would (if I could) vote for Obama. I always go with the liberal anyways, even McCain seems to be the most moderate conservative in awhile so I don't really mind who wins.

That's what you get when at least 1/3 of our country are bible-thumpers out west. I really do not want a president who makes his decision partially based on his religion, I don't prejudice against certain religions but take into consideration their blind devotion to it.
