I'm voting for Barack Obama because, while many of his policies are the same as Hillary's, he stood alone as an objector to the war when she was posturing as tough by aligning with the Bush administration. It has nothing to do with gender or race. I simply believe that he's more honest than she is.
He also happens to be extremely charismatic and understands how to heal this nation and bring people together, not only from opposite ends of the table, but in ways that our culture(s) can't quite name yet.
I believe Barack Obama truly believes his campaign messages. I think Hillary is a career politician who believes that the ends justify the means.
But I have to add to that: I think it's really sad that so many Americans might find that their actual values and policy wishes might align with Dennis Kucinich, and then they don't vote to align with their conscience. (What... was he not tall enough?)
