Good Morning Everyone

This morning I would like to talk politics.
Everyone is welcome to chime in. I really am looking for answers here. I deliver the USA Today paper every morning at the hotel, and I see the front page news articles that are all talking about Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama and who is leading in which state. I still don't know who is ahead overall..It does not matter to me really who one chooses to vote for. I have "Asked Geves" the campaign and I get links to web sights that want me to join or contribute money. I do not have time to watch the news often.
I feel that if I am going to vote then I should know who I am voting for. There is a rumor that says Hillary is going to legalize Marijuana...This is not something I want to have happen. Until I heard this rumor I thought I would vote for Hillary.. What I am wondering is;
1) Has anyone else heard this awful rumor about Hillary?
2) Are they the only two candidates left in the race that we have to chose from?
3) What are their platforms?
4) Who stands for what?
5) What do we get if we vote for a candidate?
Please feel free to chime in here and let me know what the country stands to lose by voting for either of the two candidates.
Much Love & Many Hugs
Nancy
