Summing up a person to others, using the term, they’re one of us, goes to the point of a persons character. Which of these two candidates is one of us? Who relates to Americans better? Who do we want to lead us? Political genius, Harvard grad lawyer, with radical associations and plans to expand government, therefore raising taxes or Navy grad war hero, who plans to shrink wasteful government, therefore cutting taxes. I’m one of those white people who never felt Obama’s race mattered. To me it still doesn’t and never will. Are they one of us goes much deeper than race or gender. Who’s one of us? An ultra liberal or middle of the road conservative? By a black man becoming the nominee, speaks volumes how far we’ve come. I’m proud that hurdle’s been jumped. Now it comes down to who relates better and can be trusted by the majority of Americans. That will never change or should. It’s who we are and who’s one of us. I’m confident we’ll get it right and McCain will win.
