There are a lot of reasons I voted for him. Overall I just like the way he thinks and I agree with him on more issues than I agree with McCain on. I also like the way he speaks and presents himself, I think he'll represent our country well, something we've certainly been lacking these past 8 years. I don't like the way McCain speaks to the public (with the exception of last night's speech, he spoke differently last night).

Technology played a big part of why I voted for Obama too. Technology and the internet are a huge part of how the world works today and I don't feel that McCain "gets it".

Education is another HUGE reason I voted for Obama. He has really shown his passion and dedication to education. Global warming and environmental issues also were part of my reason why I voted for Obama.

I don't want this to start anything, but I do want to share my feelings on the subject of abortion since that is also a reason I voted for Obama and I want to explain why. I think we can probably all agree that in a perfect world abortion wouldn't be an issue. This however isn't a perfect world and sadly abortion is an issue. I don't feel that overturning Roe vs. Wade will do much to stop abortions. It may keep some women from getting an abortion, but I believe a lot of women will still have the abortions just in an illigal, unsafe manor. I feel that the way to truly reduce the abortion rate is through education. Teaching and preaching "abstinence only" the way Palin wants to teach obviously doesn't work, if it did she wouldn't have a pregnant teenager. I believe that kids need to be better educated about sex and birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Both Obama and McCain want to promote adoption and I think that's very important also. Better support for single mothers is also very important.
