Mary Malool's letter about Barack Obama gave no sensible or logical reasons why anyone should vote for him.

Add to that the African-American vote in Illinois and you have the real reason why he was elected. On another note it's almost pathetic that the Democratic Party has such a poor choice of candidates for the upcoming election. ...more
