"I came because I'm still on the fence. I want to see him, and I want to see Hillary and make up my mind before Tuesday. The event that has me leaning toward Obama is his original vote on Iraq. My concern is his experience. But I figure if he can pull off a campaign this far, he must have experience."
~ Pat Payne, Albuquerque resident

"We need a cheerleading squad. I know it sounds kind of funny, but what happens sometimes is we have hecklers. A group of six or eight of us surround them and basically out-chant them." ~ Alex, no last name given, an Obama campaign organizer instructing volunteers

"We are finally excited about something for the first time in 40 years! Instead of voting against someone or something, we're voting for someone. The only intelligent people who aren't voting for Obama are people who are afraid he'll be shot."
~Louise Rose, real estate agent from Taos

"I think he can bring change to the United States. I think Hillary changes her mind a lot like she changes her underwear."
~Valerie Gonzales, personal care assistant from Albuquerque

"I think this time will be different. I think people aren't giving young people enough credit for caring about their own future."
~David Johnny, 33, responding to a question about whether young people actually would show up at the polls

"When it comes to the war in Iraq, he was against it from day one, and when he says we need a president who is right from day one, I think he's right."
~Stephen Salas, 19, of Las Vegas, N.M.

"He has the ability to understand where other people are coming from with whom he disagrees and to relate to them in a way which can bring people together."
~John Strausz Clement, 74, a retired minister who lives in Santa Fe

"They say Hispanics don't like him because he's black, but look at all the Hispanics out here. They want to make this a race thing, but it's not like that. People come out here to see his opinion on all the different issues."
~Jerry, no last name given, of Santa Fe
