(11,746 posts)The first was a Senator here whom I knew personally, the one before President Obama was our Senator. I liked him and there was no way I could vote for Carol Mosely Braun.
The second was a judge whom I really like.
There may have been one or two more, I don't remember, but generally I vote straight Democratic.
As for President Obama I definitely voted for him in 2008. I too supported his idea of the surge in Afghanistan. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.
I don't know President Obama personally but I have good friends who are Illinois Senators and they know him well. I also know people who were in his law school class. This is an incredibly talented, brilliant man. You don't get to be editor of the Harvard Law Review if you're not brilliant. I didn't go to Harvard but I know quite a few people who did, and I can tell you that don't even get into Harvard Law School if you're not brilliant.
I have good reason to admire this man and to be proud to support him.
