But less intelligent people than I have thrown their support behind candidates far sooner without ever looking at anything besides the name. And like all other topics of politics, the definition of who is a lobbyist is open to interpretation. I do know the facts, but the difference between us is in how we read them. Now I'll go watch (in horror) the rest of the Bears' game. Duly noted.

On that I agree with you. There is one problem with your post, however. Obama does accept money from lobbyists. He refuses to take money directly from lobbyists but he is very willing to accept donations from family members and employers of lobbyists. If that does not count as taking contributions from lobbyists, then John Edwards does not accept contributions from lobbyists either. I am not trying to change your opinion about Barack, I just feel that you should know all of the facts about a candidate before you throw your support behind him. Barack Obama is a good candidate.
