"I am enthusiastic about Obama. First, because of his breathtaking intellect. But even more important, because of his capacity to inspire people to be unified." -David Slutsky, a worker for Obama.

"I've always been a democrat, but I've have skepticism about both sides. I originally believed in Hillary Clinton, but I moved to Obama. I see him as a powerful unifing force reminiscent of FDR." -Anonymous
