There is no doubt that Senator Obama is a terrific orator, but more than that he has also shown himself to be a very astute and intelligent man who understands some basic fundamentals - sees to the heart of core issues and pulls them forward - that Hillary doesn''t seem to understand. His prescience in 2002 on Iraq shows a man not just with intelligence, but an ability to see the bigger picture and intuition for what will follow. He has also shown the ability to be self reflective and to own his errors. His honesty also shines through - these are a tremendous and rare set of qualities to find in a leader.

Hillary may be older and may have been in the White House before with her husband, but I am sure that we can find many instances where she has demonstrated poor judgment, has failed to take responsibility for her own mistakes and has been dishonest. Indeed, if we are to reflect on the behavior that has been demonstrated by both Hillary and Bill in recent weeks, we have seen dishonesty, an inability to take responsibility for their actions and waging a willfully destructive campaign that is fracturing the party base. I can only suppose that they have convinced themselves that the means justify the end, that they are the only ones that America needs at this time and that to me shows a level of egocentric fixation and tunnel vision that I quite frankly find quite disturbing.

Let us hope that, for the sake of our nation, John Edwards wins.

And I speak with urgent sincerity fellow citizens.

There are many things that need remedy in our nation, and many goals that have been left unfulfilled, but without our Constitution we are not even Americans, so American concerns would be of no import.

And John Edwards is the only current candidate who has ever repeatedly spoken out publicly about restoring our Constitution, and after speaking with his staff and supporters I believe him.

While Hillary and Obama never mention it publicly. Although if you write them they will send back a very nice form letter declaring their allegiance to the Constitution, without explicitly promising to restore it.

Fellow patriots, you know how long I have advocated voting for an Independent candidate who vowed to restore the rule of law to this land, and I''m frustrated that Edwards would not leave the Democrats and register as an Independent.

But at any moment in time we must face the choices we are given, and if we don''t like them persevere so the next moment will be different.

And yet I''m not a reluctant supporter of John. If he had declared himself an Independent when he announced I would have supported him from the start. Besides his support for our Constitution I believe he is truly a brilliant leader, with realistic positive plans to move our nation forward instead of backward, or even worse, into further stagnation.

Mr. Kenya is done.

He can go home to father now.
Maybe he can fix the problems in his homeland.
He has proven to immature to run for president.
If he were to win we''d see a HUGE influx of Kenyans into the U.S. (and they''d all be kings, tribal leaders, etc.)
