No clear choice has surfaced as a steady number of voters continue to appear at Missouri and Oklahoma polls and prepare for Kansas caucuses.
Duquesne resident Justin Warden cast his ballot for change, which he believes Barack Obama has to offer.
“Because it seems like, over 190 years, no one ever gave a black man a chance,” Warden said. “Just because it’s the White House doesn’t mean it has to be a white person in it.”
Warden doubts the war in Iraq will end, but thinks new leadership may be able to improve matters there.
Mary Boswell of Miami, Okla., cast her vote for Sen. John McCain at the Miami Civic Center because of his position on the Iraq War.
“He supports the war effort and I think we really need to be over there right now to keep them from coming over here.”
Grace Beauchamp, also of Miami, said she voted for Hillary Clinton because of her husband’s presidency.
“I thought he was one of our best presidents,” she said. “He’ll help her and be working with her.”
Veva Jackson, a 68-year-old retired consultant in Galena, Kan., planned to vote for Clinton at a caucus at the Franklin Community Center, where Democrats in the 13th Kansas Senate District are to gather tonight. She said she will support Clinton partly because of her gender and partly for her political views.
“She’s very intelligent,” Jackson said. “She says things I like to hear about the economy and health care and getting us out of the war. She seems really sincere.”
