The Question Is…
Obama vs McCain – what do you think?
Bob Cronin, Belmar & Daniel Downey, Neptune
Bob: I think McCain should stay home. Its no contest. Hes just another Bush with a different head.
Dan: McCains going to win. All the people who were for Hilary are not going to vote for Obama, theyll vote for McCain.
Chris Wilson, Neptune
Id say Obama. I think he has good leadership qualities and I think the country is ready for a change – and I think hes the man to do it.
He has my vote.
Im looking forward to a President Obama.
Charlotte Pritchard, Ocean Grove
I like them both. I havent read enough to really make a decision, but Im leaning toward Obama.
I dont think that anyone owns Obama and way too much of our lives are controlled by special interests.
I like the fact that most of his contributions have come from average people.
Tony Perillo, Asbury Park
McCain. I think hes the better candidate. Obama has no experience.
McCain is a real patriot.
Rich Gore, Asbury Park
I think McCain is a good man but I think the right wing republicans will have some control of his administration.
I like Hilary as vice-president. She was my choice over Obama.
Im counting on the democrats to win.
John Jost, Weehawken & Dr. Barbara Tempalski, Hoboken
Definitely Obama. We dont want 4 more years of Bush mentality and we need to get out of Iraq.
If McCain gets elected, well be in Iraq forever and gas will be at $20 a gallon.
McCain is a nice guy, but we dont want him to run the country.
Were not sure of Obamas international skills or how much hell get done, but we prefer him over McCain.
Jeanine Hanewicz, Brookfield, Conn., Kate Memoli, Asbury Park, Theresa Warnagiris, Poconos, Pa., Robyn Jones, Harveys Lake, Pa., & Susan Bisaha, Asbury Park
We all agree that Obama is the one, there isnt really any doubt.
We cant have four more years of anything remotely related to George Bush.
And the vice-president Dick Cheney.
God bless America. Its a great country that needs new leadership.
Teresita Harper, Ft. Lauderdale, Toni Esposito, Oakhurst & Juliet Fidrych, Bayonne
Obama. Hes got great ideas. Hes very diverse and he hears what the common people have to say.
He wants equality for all the people.
