Jackson has a long history with one of Obama's chief rivals, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband former President Clinton. He counseled the two when the president's affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky became public.
But Jackson said his history with the Clintons doesn't complicate his decision to back his home state senator, calling Obama Illinois' "favorite son."
"It's not awkward at all," he said, adding, "I don't owe a debt to any of them."

Not only Hall
You'd think someone on the McCain campaign would've picked up on the fact that Hall is now a Democratic member of the House? And a progressive one at that?
They can't all be this stupid. I'm getting suspicious, they're really making this too easy.
And this is not their only problem on the music front. You may have noticed that McCain often takes the stage to the tune of "Johnny B. Goode". Well, don't expect that to be happening much anymore, either, because Chuck Berry's voting for Obama. And when it comes to unauthorized (and unpaid) use of his music, Chuck does not mess around.
