McCain is to old.. and he has cancer. So a vote for McCain is a vote for his vice president to be president.

"(CBS) The following are the remarks prepared for delivery by Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama on March 18, 2008 in Philadelphia. " Looks to me like he was looking at two teleprompters; possibly three. Reading his speech. I compared to a partial youtube clip and he deviated by misreading one of the words and covered it up really well by saying "and (original word)". But nearly all verbatim of the "prepared for delivery" transcript.

Don't have to go back that far. Bill Clinton's appearances on MTV and Arsenio were said to have "energized young voters"

The first is that Obama doesn't actually appear to bring such change. Sure, he talks about it, but with a bit of research you'd know that his campaign has been engaging in things like deceptive mailings, just like the other campaigns. Talking about change, obviously, is not the same as actual change. More important, however, is the second problem. The biggest issue being faced by the US right now is not a lack of positive, inspiring politicians. It's a huge economic crisis, the likes of which probably has not been seen in decades. Inspiring speeches will not solve this issue. What's needed right now is competent governing. Obama's underwhelming record in congress, unfortunately, casts doubt on his ability to do just that. He has star power, yes. But is he competent where it really matters? Nobody knows.

Are you asking what dems have won the election in my lifetime? JFK, LBJ, Carter and Clinton. I was too young to remember the first two.
Why do people act like it's a BFD that Obama is going to deliver the youth vote? The dems have ALWAYS had the youth vote. |

I very much remember him hitting the 'youth vote'. I was in high school the first time and college the second and he had that base. To me at times watching this election from a bit of a distance it sometimes feels like Obama is playing Hillary at her husband's game and doing it better. Of course when my fire fox spell check accepts 'Obama' as a correctly spelled word I will know he really has made it. |

Difficult to even analyze as the voting age wasn't lowered to 18 until 1972. The 18-21 age group voted pretty well that year - no doubt partly due to all the exposure - and then slipped from there for the most part.
I would bet that "Rock the Vote" has convinced more young people to vote than any one candidate.

If Clinton wins then voting doesn't seem worth it. Then again I'm in Hawaii and our votes mean shit.

I'm talking about getting numbers to the polls and participating and showing the passion that only young people can. Getting them involved in the process and feeling like they really have a stake in the system instead of the stereotypical apathy that's always associated with them. |

The problem with speeches these days is the people mouthing the words didnt have shit to do with writing the speech.
Fuck words, I believe in ACTION.

In this election youth have come out in record numbers to exercise their right to vote. Isn't this basically indisputable at this point? Maybe the numbers will dwindle as we go forward, but it's started off stronger than anything seen before.

It should concern anybody that McCain has aligned himself and his policies with a person who has been voted as the worst President in history, and yet he still stands a chance to win.

I disagree. Motivating a generation to get involved is huge no matter what the outcome. Many might stay involved long past this election cycle. That's even bigger.

Time constraints essentially prohibit this. Presidents and candidates can't spend days ironing out speeches while campaigning, or reviewing legislation, or meeting with public figures, and flying all over the world etc. The days of Lincoln in the 19th century when politics was slower and there was no mass media are long gone and have been for decades now.

People are choosing an idol, not policies. The success of this campaign will both stimulate future politicians to do the same and teach voters to expect inspirational talks rather than sound policies. Of course, this is a process which started a long time ago, and has been accelerating ever since television became prominent as a political campaigning tool. Still, it's hardly something to be happy about.

It's not rocket science, and a guy from a broken home who was able to excel and obtain a law degree from Harvard and become a Senator can probably handle it. If his heart is in the right place (those who know him personally probably have insight), and his speeches express what he really believes, and his political track record (albeit short) is consistent with both, and he's running against a polarizing candidate (Hillary) and a stay-the-course candidate (McCain), I see no reason why he shouldn't run.

The main difference lies in something that is another rather important part of substance, though: time spent acquiring political experience and knowledge. Hillary spent her time in the Senate buried to the neck in legislative issues - doing the work senators are supposed to do. Obama, on the other hand, spent his time in the Senate working on his public image, basically campaigning for an eventual presidential bid already. You are right. People are choosing which person they like better. Just like many people did in the 2000 election.

"It's not rocket science, he can probably handle it." Does that really sound like a good justification for making someone the single most powerful person in the whole world to you?

Obama has chosen not to spend his time in the Senate learning the boring, technical details of legislation, but rather building up his own popularity. That does not bode well for his desire and ability to learn.

Obama is surrounded by competent people, yes. Those competent people will often give him conflicting advice. He doesn't actually have two cents to put in, so choosing the right advice over the wrong advice is a matter of sheer luck. Once again: Bush. Bush had advisers, but little knowledge of his own. And look how well that turned out.

Obama and Bush are apples and oranges. Obama's entire life is one of a desire to learn and help. If it wasn't he never would have finished high let alone Harvard law school and then into politics. He's obviously ambitious (this could be good and bad), and I'm not saying he'd make a good President. All I'm saying is that I think his bid makes sense. |

The reason he won was likability. Moderates could identify more with the guy posing as a "regular Joe" than with a born bureaucrat like Gore. As for Obama... his entire life is one of a very strong ambition. Ambition, coupled with intelligence and charisma, is more than enough to ensure success. No desire to help or learn is needed for that. That is not to say that Obama does not have a desire to help. I'm sure he does. About his desire to learn, however, I'm less sure. More importantly, I am rather unsure about how good of an idea it is not to spend significant time learning the details of the trade before running for president, instead of planning to learn them after being voted in. Like you, I am unsure whether he'd make a competent president. Looking at the current US economy, that worries me. When the economy is failing, taking large risks seems like a rather bad idea to me.

Being a senator was the perfect opportunity to learn about the relevant details. Instead, he chose to spend his time on other things.

I'd like to add, though, that I would love to see him as president - 4 or 8 years from now, after he's gained more experience in the Senate, and has proven himself to be a competent legislator as well as an inspiring and charismatic personality.
