Presidential candidates

JDCountyNews said in the Prentiss Forum:

Quoting Thomas Sowell, Clarion Ledger newspaper today, "Obama gave $20,000 of his own money to Rev. Wright and as a State Senator, directed $225,000 of the Illinois taxpayers' money for programs run by Father Pfleger. In the U.S. Senate, Obama earmarked $100,000 in federal tax money for Father Pfleger work. Giving someone more than 300 grand is not just some tenuous, coincidental association". Does the racist attitude of Wright and Pfleger influence Obama? Will it affect white voters? McCain has an age issue among other points of interest in his long career. Will age be an issue at the polls? Obama vs McCain, who is the best candidate for leading this Country?
