In the race for the 2008 White House the American voter is quite inundated with information regarding the likes of big-money, big-name candidates such as Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton. While main steam media tries their best to mold the American perception to believe that the 2008 Presidential race is merely a contest between the two corporate big dogs while chomping at the bit to name another Clinton president. In due form, the mainstream media seems out of touch with the American people and the upsetting youth, failing to recognize just how badly voters want change.

And he is consistent in his value toward life as he has voted in favor of a ban on partial birth abortion except in the case to save the mother's life.
