Obama supporters...
Edited on Thu May-08-08 06:50 PM by Drunken Irishman
Thanks to the AP.



Barack Obama supporter Larry Levine, 59, is seen on his farm in tiny Hinton, W.Va., Wednesday, April 16, 2008. Levine, 59, who co-owns a theater and serves as the chair of two community organizations, says he gives about $50 or $100 online every few weeks and plans to keep doing that until he hits the legal limit of $2,300 for the primary election. He says he likes Obama's 'sense of the world', his life history, which spans two continents, and the level of integrity and respect throughout the debates, in trying to keep the discussion on issues rather than personality.

Aaron H. Alpern, 46, plays with his son Holden Mathew Alpern as they return home from a visit to a park Thursday, April 17, 2007, in Chicago. Alpern, an actor who's not always employed, is one of the army of small donors to Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama's campaign. 'I plan on giving every time I have a chance,' says Alpern. 'He has excited me in a way that no other candidate




In this image from video John Jolly, 77, and his wife Joan talk about Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., at their home in Portland, Ore., Monday, April 21, 2008. Jolly, a retired librarian, says he's donated online three or four times, totaling a few hundred dollars, because he sees Obama as bringing 'something new to the whole thing.' 'Every once in a while I felt like I had to chip in and help the cause', said Jolly adding that expects to contribute again.

Dan Cole, a 78-year-old retired teacher from Chicago, is seen at home Thursday, April 17, 2008, in Evanston, Ill. Cole, one of an army of small donors to the Obama presidential campaign, said he's willing to look elsewhere should Obama's campaign falter. 'What's of primary importance is that we get a Democrat in the White House,' Cole says. 'We're not going to fold up our tent and fall back to our hole if it's Hillary or nothing.'

Kriss Riggs, 60, a photographer from Blue River, Ore., poses for a photo in Bozeman, Mont., on Wednesday, April 16, 2008. Riggs, one of the army small donors for Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama's, D-Ill., campaign says Riggs she isn't one to spend her money on politicians. 'I've never done anything' before, said Riggs. 'This man has stirred me.'

Timothy Sweeney, 24, a medical student at Duke University, is seen in his home in Durham, N.C., Friday, April 25, 2008. Sweeney says started with a contribution to Sen. Barack Obama's, D-Ill., exploratory campaign in January 2007, and has given about $300 online overall to his presidential campaign. He did his undergraduate work in Chicago, where he said Barack Obama made an impression on him with his 'high-minded approach to things. Obama was 'just an honest decent man and I felt like somebody like that should be in the race,' he says.

6. Recommended. This is what Obama is about.
Uniting young and old. Bringing together black, white, latino, asian, native american... people of all different cultures and backgrounds for a common good.

This is truly a candidate who means what he says and says what he means. He has the honesty, integrity, intelligence, compassion, and empathy to be the leader this country has longed for.

7. "Sense of the world"... I like that. The other day someone asked me why
I liked Obama and I told them "because I feel I share his worldview" which I think is a similar sentiment.
