Perfect Game

Just the fact that she is not giving up is indicative of the strong, passionate, dedicated person Hillary is and what a great leader she will be. It's easier to coast along when the numbers are on your side, but when the going gets tough it's the real leaders who perservere and endure till the end. Only a person who has a great love of this country, and a huge desire to see people get what they deserve could push forward with a plan that would bridge the gap not only in this nation but abroad as well. I wish Hillary and her team the very best and she has my vote!

Steverose, I totally think that is a very good possibility. I had never heard of the man until this election nomination started and I do pay attention to politics and the news. I wonder how and with whose money he became an overnight boy wonder. Usually if it looks like bs, sounds like bs and smell like bs it is probably bs. I think we are hearing way to much smoozing and Hillary may not be the perfect candidate but I think she is a far cry from Obama.

Hillary's a meglomaniacal Communist Manchurian Candidate
Obama's a neophyte Socialist wannabe feel-good empty suit and downright dangerous in foreign affairs
Neither product of the bed-wetting left stands a chance
Too bad Ann Coulter isn't running - she makes the most sense of anyone on the political scene

Yes it is sad that both race and gender will diminish the status of our POTUS in many foreign eyes. I did a report in a social psychology class on some discrimination experiments which showed discrimination equal between race and gender, but gender discrimination was much more acceptable. Not only acceptable to be displayed or voiced, but also acceptable as a personally held belief. There is much less internal discord and pressure to change if no word (like racism) is in your consciousness to accuse yourself of. Women seemed to be the most discriminatory to other women. Perhaps they feel entitled to be so? I am just asking, no offense intended.

Thanks to JoeMB for this list

hay .....Remember who did G.H.Bush beat to become a president .It was one of the two minority(Jackson and the Greek)..it was his only chance to win.I see it the same this time .Except this time the woman has a chance to beat the republican.look for Obama to face McCain...I think Obama is getting Republican money(indirectly) to beat Clinton .

To Mystic Spirit:
a) The Clintons are from Arkansas, not Alabama.
b) Bill Clinton was basically raised by a single mom in a low-income bracket, a far cry from a silver spoon in his mouth.
c) If you want to tell people to 'wake up' re: Hillary Clinton's "experiance" from the "beggening" you might want to be able to spell those words.
d) As a physician from SC (and having heard Hillary speak on our health care crisis as far back as 15 years ago), I can tell you that her interest in fixing our health care system woes is genuine and long-standing. She is committed and persistent, and that is what will spell success

I have no idea who I will vote for at this point in time. We still have a long way to go, and I am perfectly
content to see what more I can learn. What I do know, as a student of politics for quite some time,
is that public office is all about POWER! The politicians say what will get them elected. Do you believe
for one moment, that proposals for Healthcare will be funded, just because they say so? Get a life
people!. Follow back into the 60 and see how much of what was promised came to fruition. Roe v. Wade
is here to protect women's choice. Do you want the government telling you what you can and cannot
do medically? That decision is a moral issue for the woman. The flip-flopping done is to give the public,
particularly what they want to gain the vote. Do you believe for one minute, that highly educated women
want government interference medically? Get into some reality and look at the condition our country is
in. We elect people for change, which they have not done in decades.

Im 24 year old Woman and race has never been a issue no matter the color of a persons skin and i live where towns are still divided but yet they say there not but i beg to differ this world has not changed and to me it never will things have gotten better but for the worse this world is falling apart and it does not matter who goes into office it would take 16 years to fix what damage has come upon America the not so FREE and to my vote does it really count are should just all the delegates and super delegates go vote and don't was't my time. I'm not a Dem. but i stand for Hillary Clinton and Woman all over the world and I am not a Rep. but I stand for Mike Huckabee and Christians all over the world but to me this is no longer a mans world and lots of women can't see that cause woman are weak and mean cheat and woman stay with them and it has been going on for over 100 years and every President leave the White House RICH are the are in with the mob JFK but look at the world from a childs eyes my son told me he did not want to go to the store cause some one will shoot his mommy. I think the right to bear arms is out of control kids bringing guns to school,gangs and we talk about a war over seas but yet most of us fail to notice its here in our own back yard we are killing each other now who can change that? But as i come to end this you can vote but is your vote going to change the world in 4 or even 8 years when we are in such a whole.

I firmly believe both candidates are with exceptional skills to be president of the United State of America. If only I could vote, I would have voted equally both Senators Hillary and Obama. However, this is impossible. I think American people should choose a democrat president this time. Because, a democrat president would be either a black African America (Sen Obama) or a woman (Sen Hillary) either of them are going to be the success of pure democracy in this great country over colour and race or over gender respectively but unfortunately I am not a USA citizen to have contributed by my vote. If it is Sen Hillary, she would not only be a woman president but she would be a woman and with a man who is her husband and an ex USA president where he is one of the greatest and he is a hero to many in politics in the world. Therefore, she would not be alone. Moreover, if it is Sen Obama he is a young American talented personality with huge of energy. Here is my biggest worry is I hope either of them would support promoting democracy in the world especially in middle east and assist wholeheartedly Kurds in Building up their own independent state. Because, I believe that American could make Kurds their permanent friends in the region for the best of both nations??? interests. Kurds have long been ignored, oppressed, and inhumanly divided so it would be the success of the world democracy if either of them or any next American president would support an independent Kurdish State....

Please!

The Amorphous 'change' premise, so lame and amateurish a political line, who would have thought it's the most effective bait for any sensible, thinking person. But, then, we are talking about group behavior. I guess the simple premise???s chameleon quality enables it to morph into whatever the individual listener's yearns for. Add to it some cues about inequality/injustice between whatever different social groups, and 'voila!' you have a bunch of people jumping up and down, chanting and ready for a revolution. Revolution for what? More importantly, How? They don't know; they're completely mesmerized the part of 'change' specific to themselves and overcome by the atmosphere. Once hysteria is sparked, it spreads like wild fire.
That's the latest, most powerful political strategy - not just tapping into people's emotions through their needs, but their emotional needs. Remember the exit polls for Bush's last election showed that 'moral values' were the most important issue. Stopping abortions and gay marriage was more important than the death of thousands in a war or anything else to them. So, you either invoke the fanatics or invoke the fanatic in people, because intense emotion is the one that keeps people standing determined in line to vote. Clinton needs to catch up on this tactic.
