For now, only look at Iowa, NH, and SC. Whoever does well in those three will be the nominee.

nationally, Clinton is the clear leader. In the three key early states, it's a tossup.

Regardless of the Iowa poll (up, down or sideway for Hillary), the bottom line is that the american registered democratic voters of all states, according to the recent Newsweek Poll of August 1, and closely supported by the NBC/Wall St Journal Poll of July 30, prefer Hillary Clinton (44%) over Obama (23%) and Joh Edwards (14%). Both Obama and John Edwards have declined or maintained their poll positions of previous month because of their debate performance or recent comments, while Hillary has increased her poll standing.

He has far more experience in the real world than Clinton or any of the other candidates.

Everything I hear and read about him furthers this. He was a civil rights attorney, he worked to rise people above their stations. He is the kind of leader that comes along once a generation if we’re lucky.

I’ve just read “the Audacity of Hope” and it was so stirring, so clear, so clearly written not by a ghost writer but in the voice of the man himself.

Barry Obama is the real deal, he’s the sort of fighter that we need oh so desperately in these trying times.

I would go door to door for this candidate and no other and I've never been involved politically in my over 30 years of life!

Based on his own words, Obama would look at any issue either foriegn or domestic with clear eyes and make decisions that were both humane and smart for our country and the world. The other candidates all strike me as fodder for lobbists, career politicians.

I remember how moved I was when I heard his speech during Kerry’s convention. He is indeed a uniter, someone who can bring this sadly divided dis union back into union again. People will put paintings and photos on their walls of this man in the same way they do JFK or MLK.

Mark my words, America and the world will prosper under President Obama. To see that happen I’d gladly travel to Ohio, to South Carolina, to Iowa, or anywhere else I needed to go to ensure he gets a fair shot. That’s all the man needs, is one good fair shot.

Given his due he’ll do us right. Do the research. Don’t be a lemming. Read about him, read his own words. They aren’t sound bites, they’re living, breathing, human thoughts full of compassion and common sense, stength and integrity.

Really look at this candidate. Do your kids and their kids the biggest favor of our lives.

"I think for folks raised inside the western culture this purposes few problems as we understand it."

and this..."Listening to Obama’s more direct bellicose rhetoric has a refreshing quality to it, and sounds like street smarts, staking ground...

What does any of this mean?

Stick to the basics....waxing poetic ain't working.

Listening to Obama's more direct bellicose rhetoric has a refreshing quality to it, and sounds like street smarts, staking ground; in a somewhat dangerous alley I'd like him on my side.

So when I play this revelation against our current experience in Iraq, how Sadam seemed to have better control, his infrastructure was working, sure he killed folks, but we too are now reduced to killing and torture. I am beginning to wonder if some genius that I am looking for in a presidential candidate is surfacing

FOURTH time posting because my other three were taken down. check out the obama campaign’s response to all the backlash of his statements!

CNN, if you don’t wnant to see this link again, you should start by posting it on your political ticker for all to see how wrong you were.

Is there some reason not to publish ALL the numbers?

You might want to hope your candidate DOESN'T win Iowa if you really want a shot at the White House!
