What is R-I-diculous is that the voting populace is full of naive hopefuls that think "change" means voting for a black man. Turn on your TV and see how the media is fueling this ignorance. Of course that is why he has an edge, he has accomplished NOTHING for the people. Obviously, you are part of bandwagon that is this state of stupor. After hundreds of years it seems that men will CONTINUE to dominate the Presidency, even worse now, it only takes a pretty face with a preacher rhetoric to convince the general public that you are qualified to run a country.

I'm voting for Obama because I want the government to belong to ME (us, the citizens). Noone in Washington has been taking care of us as long as I can remember. If you notice, Clinton is the only remaining candidate who is of her party establishment. None of the other candidates is really owned by their party, so others feel the same. The only chance we have of getting any real change in Washington is to vote for Obama. No, there is still no guarantee since 90-odd percent of the incumbents will win again, but there is absolutely no chance for meaningful change with any other candidate.
PEOPLE NEED TO GET OFF THE BACK OF THE CLINTONS! HOW THEY FORGET THAT MILLIONS OF CHILDREN GET HEALTH INS. BECAUSE OF HILLARY AND HOW AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE TURNING THEIR BACK ON THEM AFTER ALL THEY DID FOR THEM. OBAMA TALKS THE TALK BUT HE CANNOT WALK THE WALK! HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE AND TALKS LIKE A CHURCH LEADER NOT A FUTUREPRESIDENT JUST TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. GO HILLARY YOU CAN WIN!!!!!

The Clintons did nothing for blacks but put more of us in jail. Funny, after 20+ years of the Clintons, nothing has changed. In fact, it's gotten worse. I think I'm willing to take my chances on someone new.
GO OBAMA '08 fo change!!
Hillary has been a part of the Washington bunch for over 15 yeas; the same bunch that has almost destroyed our quality of life, our economy, and our good name throughout the world. We do not need her kind of experience sitting in the White House. Obama has been in Washington long enough to know and understand the ways of Washington but not long enough to have become a part of the long established Washington circus! Clinton has had 7+ years to introduce her ???many good ideas and opportunities for America???; why has she not already done so? She has been trying for 15 years to get health plan passed but has not been able to get democratic or republican support for it!

Before anyone votes for a nominee they need to research. Go to www.snopes.com and read a bout Barack HUSSEIN Obama. A background as a MUslim raised by Muslims..Think about it!!!!!!!!
Barack Obama is a member of the United Church of Christ, and has been for 20 years. That is the recognized successor denomination to the Pilgrims -- Obama is not a Muslim -- and I find it both disingenuous and remarkable that those on the extreme Right feel a need to continue to push such a lie -- it makes one wonder about the people over there.
Forgetmemenot, Just the mere fact that you capitalized HUSSEIN when writing Baracks full name immediately tells me you are an ignorant prejudiced uneducated fool. I am white and I will vote for Obama because he is the best candidate period.
Senator Obama keeps on saying: "I'll make mistakes", his wife said: "He'll make mistakes". If he becomes president, he' ll say: "Well, I told you I'd make mistakes"... I am extremely concerned about this. Young voters are empowered which is great. But, they would vote for a young, cool looking guy, instead of someone who reminds them of their mother. The psychology of this, does not compute with what's at stake. I actually happen to like Obama and his speaking abilities. Unfortunately, I know deep inside that he is NOT READY. That has worked for him too, because there is nothing to "scrutinize". I would actually like to vote for Obama in 8 years from November. Now every Hillary supporter has been giving contributions with "44" in them, from $10.44 to $2,299.44.
Meanwhile McCain is already targeting Obama's lack of experience, his cockiness and obnoxious ways. What is he going to have to say, when 35 years of experience, the right policies, CHANGE with experience and a heart, come to hit him, his old, worn out ways, his bad temper and constant outbursts of anger comes November?
Keep on blogging and telling people to donate to Hillary's campaign. Thank you!
Given that we have three branches of goverment, the position of President is overrated. While I admire B. Obama's plan for substantive change(s), I think he will have to deal with the legislative and judicial branches. He is not experienced enough to implement the changes with Congress being heavily influenced by special interest groups. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is, in my opinion, more capable to achieve what she is advocating.
I deplore the use of buzzwords such as likeability and electability. There is much more at stake than these two words convey.
Finally, whatever the outcome of the primaries are, the ultimate goal must be to elect a President who is a Democrat.

VOTE HILLARY!!!
How can you vote for a person with plausible statements and actions. I thought the reason Hillary and Bill move to New York was to help out the community and minorities but I was fooled 8 year ago. The reason they move to New York and run for senator is to get those votes due to the high delegates. They are from Arkansas so why didn't they move back to Arkansas just a strategic plan not to help anyone.
HILLARY THE FATE

Well, as I see it, the only difference between Obama and any other potential candidate is that he is man enough to admit that he WILL make mistakes, just as Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton (OH MY GOD, George Bush) and his father did. They all made mistakes and continue to make them. Not once have I heard anyone other than Obama admit that he's not flawless. I respect that in him. This world and country won't change the very first day the new President takes office. It's going to take a while. We all must understand that. I'm just sick of seeing the same ol' people in the White House. It's been going on long enough. How can there be change with the same old players playing the same old game. VOTE OBAMA '08

I'm a young Black woman who voted for Hillary and it was based on everthing important: policy and experience. Obama is a great guy, and yes, he'd make a better President than Bush (how low our standards are these days), but there's something about Hillary. She's a wonk and I appreciate that. I don't want to gamble on the next 4 to 8 years. I want a sure thing. Obama would make a perfect VP, but not a President.
Charisma, good speaches, and an almost spotless political background will only get you so far with me. I prefer my Presidents just a lil dirty, like they've been through the wringer and are still fighting. I like that I can see through Hillary and Bill. I'm not impressed with Obama's jedi mind tricks; he promises you the world, but can he really deliver? Its never been proven.
I'll vote for Obama if he makes it to the general election. Not because he's a Democrat (don't feel those punk @sses 80% of the time), but because he'd make a better president than McCain. But I'll only vote for Obama when Hillary is completely out of the picture.
'Cause Hillary is gansta, the epitomy of "Ain't Never Skird!" and I like her all the better for it!
I would like to know what experience everyone is talking about, what experience did Bill Clinton have when he became president. When you say that Hillary is a students of Bill's does that mean that she will repliacte everything that he did. Are you really saying that the way America is being ran right now and in the past is the way that we should continue to go. The change is that a black man is running for president and has validity in his approach to the world. No more unequal justice amongst minorities past presidents have always promised it but have never produced. The country is in trouble as we speak or don't you see that?
I have never heard a politician talk "at me" the way Obama does. He's an actor "acting" the role of presidential hopeful. A little Martin Luther King. Throw in some JFK. Then add a little (ironic) Bill Clinton. He's playing those characters. The man is a phony, acting his way towards the presidency. The country is in big trouble if he gets there.
you have it right wish more could see it
I agree with much of the discussion regarding the need for experience, however, it seems to be one sided. To date, there is lack of evidence of Hillary's experience. Although Hillary is a senator as is Obama, she does not have any significant experience and inferring the experience her husband has is not appropriate. What specific experience does Hillary have in governing economic, security, or legislative issues? If it is simply as a First Lady, then she is lacking experience as well.
Hillary has been a part of the Washington bunch for over 15 yeas; the same bunch that has almost destroyed our quality of life, our economy, and our good name throughout the world. We do not need her kind of experience sitting in the White House. Obama has been in Washington long enough to know and understand the ways of Washington but not long enough to have become a part of the long established Washington circus!

I don't get it.
Obama is a FANTASTIC SPEAKER! But, we need more than that for a President. We need someone who is experienced in communicating with other World leaders, someone who has strong relationships with other leaders in the US, someone who has seen and done more. I don't have a clue where Obama stands on a lot of the issues, abortion rights being one of them. Even his website does not address issues the way Hillary's does- clear and straightforward. Obama also touts that he voted against the war- well, he actually didnt because he was not in the Senate at that time, when the "evidence" (a.k. lie), was introduced. So, he can say it all he wants, who knows how he really would have voted? Probably "present" which has been his "cop out" over 60 times since he was elected.
It seems that the media is really controlling the way people are voting, which is so sad. Why aren't people looking at voting records? I don't want a President with no experience and wishy-washy voting
Obama is a fantastastic speaker but what has he done so far, nothing really compared to the clinton years and people do remember that gas prices were no where near what it was when the clintons was running the whitehouse. People had jobs back then and the house market was good. The media is something else, watch real close at the networks and see how they are giving it too Obama already, I want change too, I live in Michigan which has the highest jobless rate in America among other things. Look at some of the states Obama won, most blacks 80 percent plus voting for him. Then the media is making it feel like a black and white thing, it's not fair for the clintons because they did alot for black people. The Media is controlling this race, they know that Hillary has to win Texas and Ohio but they keep saying that she is in trouble. People watch this stuff and if they keep saying it over and over again, Hillary is going to lose. I like both of them but I have to go with the Clintons because I know what I'm getting, with Obama, we don't.
