Weighing the Options Re Joe Klein's "Inspiration vs. Substance" [Feb. 18]: I am a 55-year-old independent voter, and while my mind says Hillary Clinton, my heart says Barack Obama. I have had concerns about his experience, but as he bests Clinton in state after state, it is becoming clear to me that this man has the judgment to surround himself with people of experience who know how to face challenges creatively.

Thank you, Joe Klein, for reminding us that substance is important! I have waited too long for an acknowledgment that Obama's campaign lacks focus on the issues. Inspiration is not enough. Words are only as strong as the actions that back them up. America deserves a leader who does more than talk the talk; we deserve a leader who walks the walk.
