And there's the marijuana community.

Obama is clearly seen as more likely to change federal marijuana policy than Hillary.

Every national poll conducted has resulted with the vast majority of Americans being OK with a doctor being able to prescribe it to people.

Every poll has shown a range of 70% to 80% yes on the issue.

This group is largely ignored right now. This is the group that will sink McCain in November as he is clearly seen as anti-pot.

Our lawmakers are out of touch with the people.

I have always voted Republican. But not this time and for this reason only.

<<Hillary had a huge lead, the aura of inevitability and then lost it.
Some of the credit has to be given to Obama.>>

Definitely true. He has run a good campaign. It also helped having the press on his side in the beginning.
