politisite, thanks for the continued coverage.

As an update:

Record turnout is expected, due in part to the warm weather and the heated political race.

State election officials forecast a record-setting primary turnout, as Senator Barack Obama sought to record a second Democratic victory and Senator John McCain looked to revive his second bid for the White House.

In the Democratic and Republican primaries here, a large group of voters who are not registered in either party hold significant sway over the outcome. Those independent voters, 45 percent of the state electorate, are free to cast ballots in either primary, and they were vigorously courted by Mr. Obama, Mr. McCain and several other candidates.

On a day that felt like springtime, with temperatures expected to reach 60 degrees, voters flooded the polls at a steady pace throughout the morning. The secretary of state, Bill Gardner, predicted that at least a half-million people would vote in the primary. The last time both parties had open contests with no incumbent, in 2000, nearly 400,000 voters turned out, or 44.4 percent of the voting-eligible population.

Your statement that Obama would not give you the time of day for a short interview says it all.

I bet Obama would be scrambling over dead democrats to get you to interview him, if he were dead last in the Polls.
Sort of speaks volumes about a man who when running for President and immensely popular may not give the time of day to any little guy,especially once he is in power. Something to think about people.

Barry:

Obama has Secret Service and some of Clintons advisors. Both limit access. I have been to three Obama events as media. I tried to take an angle shot of Obama. Secret Service told me to go back within my area. I took the shot than moved back to my area. The Clinton advisors are protective of questions from small media. We have editorial control and not much to lose. Small media ask the tough questions. With CNN,, CBS, ABC, and NBC they make deals prior to getting an interview. I won't submit questions for reveiw.

I'm hoping we get Obama/Edwards in 2008!!! We need to move this country in a brighter direction. Here are some great candid videos of John Edwards.
