Street Talkers: Election ’08

Thirteen months from now YOU will choose a new president. So, if you know more about YouTube’s Obama Girl than you do about Barack’s policies, if you’re hot for Hillary yet don’t know her take on gay marriage, if you’re McLovin’ McCain or a Kucinich chick just ’cause you think he’s “nice,” you better start doing your research. Recently, we asked 10 of our NYC-based readers this question: If the election wree held tomorrow, who would get your vote?

Name: Sara
Age: 24
Residence: Astoria, Queens
Occupation: Student

Your Vote: Clinton, even though she says she is only personally pro gay marriage but not pro gay marriage politically, I think she would be more likely to support gay marriage once in the white house, opposed to Obama who says he is only pro civil unions.

Do gay issues affect your choice? Yes, gay issues definitely affect my vote. Primarily the issue of gay marriage.
