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: Raven
Age: Why? Who sent you?
Residence: Queens is in the building
Occupation: Photographer/Filmmaker

Your Vote: I’m going with brother Obama. Things really need to change in the U.S. for my people. Hopefully with a black man in office issues such as the outstanding numbers with H.I.V and incarceration in the black community will be acknowledged and taken seriously. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Do gay issues affect your choice? Of course they do. They sign my checks!
