“I see it as a lot of government being more people telling me how to think rather than allowing me total free will.   Whereas conservatives believe in less government.  And I kind of want the national government to only do national defense – stuff like that.”(Griffin Kearney, 18, student, Syracuse University, independent)

“Get our guys back out of the war. They don’t even belong in there.  And bring the oil prices down so everybody can make a decent living and can afford to go to work.”  (Dalbert Levigne, 66, retired, of Oxford, Maine, independent)

“I would say the gas prices, oil, – doing our own oil instead of having someone else do it and taxes – just taxes overall.”
(Maureen Stachurski, 53, of Baldwinsville, human resource director, Democrat)

“That we got someone in there that going to be able to maybe make some changes.”
(Joan Mastry, of Camillus, 77, retired from Verizon, Republican)

“I think it’s so historic that I have been watching and reading all the coverage. I watched the Democratic National Convention last week and then last night I watched Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention.  And I try to read as much as I can.”
(Allison Tong, 22, student, Syracuse University, Democrat)

Remember the presidential election is November 4.  For Democracywise, I’m Jeremy Lamb.

(Jeremy Lamb is a graduate student in broadcast journalism.)
