I'll be voting for Barack Obama because I think he'll produce more change in Washington than Hillary Clinton.

If Hillary is elected president, it will be another four years of a Bush or a Clinton in the White House and I don't want the American presidency to turn into a two-family dynasty.

Hillary and Barack's positions on most issues are very similar.

They both have plans for universal healthcare and they both want to withdraw our troops from Iraq.

So, the decision for me didn't really come down to policy differences but my perception of who would be better equipped for the top political job in Washington.

This election has generated so much excitement, especially among younger voters. Four years ago, there definitely wasn't this much excitement for John Kerry.

On my university campus, there are so many people with Obama buttons and there has been such an effort to get people out to vote.

The only concern I have with this primary is that the massive excitement may make voters overlook the important issues.

For instance, Hillary and Barack's position on Israel has not been critically examined.

I think Hillary will win the Ohio primary but by a very small margin, which may not be enough to save her campaign.
