    Anybody can be better than that bumbling fool Bush, so why not have this country move into the 21st century. The way I'm seeing it we're falling behind big time in education, health care,poverty, energy,you name it ( now the dollar is shrinking). I make great money and still can't get decent health care. As a country, America has nothing to lose at this point, we're already going down unless we can come together for a common cause.

    Hell, even webmasters on this board beat each other up for no good reason and it causes this place to not prosper as it really should. But no one likes to share ideas or is afraid of "new" people showing up on the scene with innovative ideas.

    maybe there are people out there, getting a little fed up and that causes them to rise up. "A change is coming", do not fool yourself, It's already begun.

        Obama is the only person who can save the future of America

            It's nice to see a our future president can actually speak the english language for 15 mins without a prepared speech in front of him.

            For all you naysayers, I can't wait for Nov. He WILL be our president and will make us a great nation again. It's gonna be a tough job repairing all the damage from the village idiot, but he will get it done.



            I am in Southern Jersey where people always vote Republican. I am actually hearing young 20-35 year olds saying that they would vote for Obama. All my friends have expressed they are voting for Obama. I am seriously considering for voting for Obama. Plus, my opinion influences about 20 other voters in my family. If he wins the Democratic nomination, I will support Obama.

                    If you believe in the war so much why don't you enlist. Or use your skills as a photographer to take photos of the war.

                                    The end of the speech where his voice started building in volume and the crowd spoke along with him was especially powerful.

                                            I personally don't care for any of the candidates, Rep. or Dem.

                                            Not one of them talks about what they will really do as president. Right now we have village idiot running the country, so any of the candidates seem better then that pathetic loser Bush. By the way why doesn?t anyone run on the platform that they will capture or kill Osama? (Not Obama) lol that right there is kind of scary, how close their names are.

The way I'm seeing it we're falling behind big time in education, health care,poverty, energy,you name it ( now the dollar is shrinking). I make great money and still can't get decent health care. As a country, America has nothing to lose at this point, we're already going down unless we can come together for a common cause.

                                                                        And what plans has Obama SPECIFICALLY brought up that made you say "Hmmm his plan is the best for America" really I'm waiting because I have yet hear of any specifics from you.

                                                                        Point me to some links or something that mention his specific proposals for this "change". Hell I can get on stage and say "Change this, change that, change, change, change."

If it gets that far the super delegates will continue to break heavily Clinton. Whether the party forces Clinton to take Obama as the vice on the ticket is the real question and does he take it?

                                                                                                        you are just dumb as a roll of toilet paper

                                                                                                            In today's political world one person in charge doesn't make all the much of a difference. The difference is does his/her party also have an overwhelming majority? If so then he/she has much more power to do what they have on their agenda.

                                                                                                            If you have a democrat president and republican congress and senate there is nothing that will be done except bring out the veto pens and hope they don't have enough to override the vetoes. Or you can have a dem president and a small majority of either party and nothing will get done at all like it is now.

                                                                                                            Until the country elects a president who is anti-establishment and bucks the current system but also elects brand new congressman and senators who fit that mold as well, then nothing in Washington will change.

That said he won't be getting the democrat nomination in Denver. If it gets that far the super delegates will continue to break heavily Clinton. Whether the party forces Clinton to take Obama as the vice on the ticket is the real question and does he take it?
                                                                                                                She already has over a 100 delegate lead if you count super delegates. she's wins NY and most likely Califfornia and some of those delegates aren't even awarded on Feb 5th. They're awarded by at party meetings, as you said, are heavily in Clinton's camp.

                                                                                                                "On primary day ? Feb. 5 ? 370 of the 441 delegates are allocated proportionally to presidential candidates; 241 of those 370 delegates are allocated based on the vote in each of the state?s 53 Congressional districts. In addition, 129 delegates are allocated to candidates based on the primary vote statewide. On May 18, the remaining 71 delegates are selected from among party leaders and elected representatives."

                                                                                                                "New York Democrats have a total of 281 delegates, 151 of whom are elected proportionally based on the results of the Feb. 5 primary within each congressional district. In addition, 45 are automatic and chosen from party leaders. At a state Democratic committee meeting in May, the remaining 85 delegates are selected."

                                                                                                                Based on current polls Clinton should get 221 of the delegates that are awarded on that day, plus MOST of the delegates chosen by "party leaders". even if she only got those additonal delegates proportional to the election results that's a total of 315 delegates just from those 2 states. That's puts her at 600 counting what she has now. even if she got NONE from Illinois( she'll get some ) and just 1/3 of the rest on Super Tuesday( she'll get more ) that's another 400 deleagtes. So now she's at 1000, minimum

                                                                                                                As long as John Edwards stays in the race he'll take votes and delegates away from Obama. Come convention time he'll have at least 400 delegates of his own. All he has to do is toss them Hillary's way and guess what, she'll have enough to get the nomination.

                                                                                                                too bad these kiddies have no clue how elections actually work.

                                                                                                                                Point me to some links or something that mention his specific proposals for this "change". Hell I can get on stage and say "Change this, change that, change, change, change."

They're awarded by at party meetings, as you said, are heavily in Clinton's camp.

                                                                                                                                    "On primary day ? Feb. 5 ? 370 of the 441 delegates are allocated proportionally to presidential candidates; 241 of those 370 delegates are allocated based on the vote in each of the state?s 53 Congressional districts. In addition, 129 delegates are allocated to candidates based on the primary vote statewide. On May 18, the remaining 71 delegates are selected from among party leaders and elected representatives."

                                                                                                                                    "New York Democrats have a total of 281 delegates, 151 of whom are elected proportionally based on the results of the Feb. 5 primary within each congressional district. In addition, 45 are automatic and chosen from party leaders. At a state Democratic committee meeting in May, the remaining 85 delegates are selected."

                                                                                                                                    Based on current polls Clinton should get 221 of the delegates that are awarded on that day, plus MOST of the delegates chosen by "party leaders". even if she only got those additonal delegates proportional to the election results that's a total of 315 delegates just from those 2 states. That's puts her at 600 counting what she has now. even if she got NONE from Illinois( she'll get some ) and just 1/3 of the rest on Super Tuesday( she'll get more ) that's another 400 deleagtes. So now she's at 1000, minimum

                                                                                                                                    As long as John Edwards stays in the race he'll take votes and delegates away from Obama. Come convention time he'll have at least 400 delegates of his own. All he has to do is toss them Hillary's way and guess what, she'll have enough to get the nomination.

                                                                                                                                    too bad these kiddies have no clue how elections actually work.

The republicans lose and lose BIG... In these primaries Dems are coming out voting 2 to 1 in the general election it's be a slaughter. Sure I'll take Obama as VP r vice versa

The carryover racism of their parents and grandparents is so ingrained in their soul that they cannot shake it, they can only rationalize it in a more politically correct fashion.

                                                                                                                                            This goes for every race.

Hard to throw the mud at a man who has used his legal background to fight big corporations and defend children plus has a wife battling cancer. However he's not the cool hip choice for "change". Whatever change means.

                                                                                                                                                One of the biggest problems in this country is the growing divide between the haves and the have nots. Every one of Edwards policies from economic to health care to the environment has that in mind. It's amazing to me that he doesnt have more support, especially from the middle class.

                                                                                                                                                Obama is a great speaker. But that doesnt make a good president and it helps, but doesnt overcome the fact that he doesnt have huge support among whites. And you WILL need the white vote to win in November.

                                                                                                                                                I would take any one of the Democratic candidates (Clinton, Obama, Edwards) over anyone of the bumbling fools on the GOP side. Mainly to allow the Democratic controlled congress a chance to pass laws and do some good. Im just not sure why Democrtas fail to understand that Obama will have a difficult time winning in November. The republicans will love to throw mud at Hillary but Bill has proven they can overcome that in a general election. With Edwards having no shot currently a Clinton/Edwards or Obama ticket would have the best shot at getting the job done come November.

                                                                                                                                                And on a side note its not racist or bigoted to point out that Obama receives only minimal support among whites and you need the white vote to win a general election. Thats just common sense and facts. Plus its fairly obvious that the black population is supporting Obama simply because he's black. It's not just a coincidence he's receiving 80+% of the black vote when his policies that would appeal to black voters and their economic status are actually less than what Edwards would push for.

                                                                                                                                                    NH and Iowa are very black states right?

                                                                                                                                                    Do they even serve fried chicken in either? Eh, I'm not so sure.

                                                                                                                                                    ...But Obama still won a great deal of white votes in those states.

                                                                                                                                                    So, I think you need to question why your "common sense" is telling you Obama can't win.

                                                                                                                                                    Now, when it comes to black people voting for him just because he's black, don't assume things.

                                                                                                                                                    Here's a story from yesterday about black women and their candidate allegiance:

                                                                                                                                                    Originally posted by MSNBC
                                                                                                                                                    The firming of her feelings for Obama reflects a shift in support that started with his victory in Iowa on Jan. 3. Three months ago, when The Washington Post first interviewed Hammond and several other African American women in this state, Clinton (N.Y.) had the support of 54 percent of black women nationally, compared with 35 percent for Obama. But Obama is now winning 60 percent of the black vote, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll.

                                                                                                                                                    African Americans are expected to make up as much as half of the electorate in South Carolina's primary, and black women as much as 30 percent of it.

                                                                                                                                                    As with women in general, there is a generational gap among black women. At Hair Menders salon, a short drive from Passion Slice, owner Margaret Bell, 63, has been unmoved by Obama's gains. She has backed Clinton all along and explains her support in terms almost straight from the candidate's mouth.

                                                                                                                                                    "I'm voting for Hillary because she's the only one who can go into that White House on Day One and get things done," Bell said. "He can't say that," she adds of Obama.

                                                                                                                                                    Bell's customers are mostly older, and most lean toward Clinton. But the majority of the twentysomethings and thirtysomethings who come through Hammond's door plan to vote for Obama.

                                                                                                                                                    "I think a lot of older people have the idea that America is not ready for a black president, and it would be easier to slide a woman in there," said Kristan Murray, 27, who was in Passion Slice for a wash and trim. "That doesn't leave room for a revolutionary mentality."
                                                                                                                                                    He didn't get the automatic support you would expect him to have received from the black population. It surprised me as well so don't think you are alone in your assumptions.

                                                                                                                                                            He was not the black favorite until recently.
                                                                                                                                                            There is more to it than just that of course. Iowa showed he could be viable which swung some of the black vote his way in SC. The Clinton campaign decided if that was the way it was going to go they were going to edge that along to make him the black candidate. 80% of the black vote shows there was a large % in the black community that pushed back to support their man based on their race. Which in reality is exactly what they Clinton candidate was hoping for as now they got facts to back up their claims that Obama is a black candidate and being buoyed by his own race. Now you will see the closet racism come in and see how many whites come out to vote to ensure what they thought wasn't possible will indeed not be possible this go round.

                                                                                                                                                            And you will notice this is not the younger white demographic that will push for Clinton it will be the 40-100 range that come out in full force to ensure their wants get fufilled. And because thats the largest % of the population they got the pull to make it happen.

                                                                                                                                                            And don't forget the largest minority group in the US is the latino community even though they tend not to vote in the same masses as the black community. The Latino community dramatically supports Clinton over Obama.

                                                                                                                                                            The best thing for Obama last night would have been to get 50-55% of the black vote and take in his 25-30% of the white vote. He still would have won the primary but with numbers that statistically look less threatening to the masses who oppose seeing a black man in office just yet.

                                                                                                                                                            It would be nice to wish the country was past the race and gender issues but the reality is it just plain isn't. And the more that CNN hypes up the fact with their Anderson Cooper "race vs gender" debates non stop, the more the issue will not go away but rise up.

                                                                                                                                                                        It's really a shame.

It seems to me the younger generations have much less of the prejudice in them then their parents generation. And thats a good step in the right direction. Wish it would happen faster but such is life.

I think his policies best reflect what this country needs right now. I am obviously outnumbered in my opinion. lol

Clinton would most likley be my preference between the two as I feel she can get in there and start from day 1 versus Obama who might need some on the job training.

                                                                                                                                                                                        However my point was its not racist to point out that Obama won SC based on the vast majority of blacks voting for him. It is racist however to throw out the n-bomb when referencing this as the original poster did.

                                                                                                                                                                                        It's not racist for a black man to vote for Obama and its not racist for a older white man to vote for McCain and its not sexist for a woman to vote for Clinton. It's also not racist or sexist to point this out.
