What an exciting presidential primary weÕre having with so many good Democratic candidates to chose from.

My support is with the incredibly smart, hugely patriotic, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. A recent letter bemoaned the saturation of the media with Obama stories. I am somewhat confused as to how blame could be slanted to Sen. Obama as he has no control of the media.

This letter also questioned Sen. ObamaÕs experience in relationship to his ability to lead our country out of the mess from the past eight years. IÕm pleased to inform that when he takes office, Sen. Obama will have served eight years in the Illinois Legislature, followed by four years in the U.S. Senate. Oh, and by the way, he graduated at the top of his class from Harvard Law School, and went on to teach constitutional law at University of Chicago.

Sen. Obama has the smarts, the experience, and the calm judgment to lead this country back to a status of prominence and respect in the world. I will be casting my vote for him in June and I encourage all voters to do the same."
