He claimed he wasn't planning on running for President as long as the other candidates. Yet it is well documented that he has been planning on running for president since he arrived in the Senate, since he was in law school, and even since he was in grade school. Now when these things are pointed out his response is not to attempt to defend himself by claiming that he was in fact telling the truth, (or admitt he was lying); but rather to respond by making the issue that people were talking about his childhood. Apparently his childhood is only relevant when he is claiming it as his foreign policy experience. No one was criticizing Mr. Obama's drug use per se, simply pointing out that it opens the door for all sort of messiness in a general election. The larger point is that we don't know alot about Mr. Obama and that carries a risk. His popularity is largely a honeymoon period he benefits from because he hasn't been in the public eye for long. To confuse that for electability is quite ignorant. Mr. Obama's willingness to discuss this so openly puts him in a very tough position. When it becomes an issue in the general election he will have to address it at lenght or risk being a hypocrite. This will not be a help to him. I also find it quite hypocritical for the Obama camp to constantly stress Clinton's high negatives, but when th Clinton camp points out vunlerabilties of Obama in the general election that is wrong. I also heard that the Obama camp claimed that the Clinton camp has gone negative because they were losing when the race was positive. It is clear that Mrs. Clinton began to slip after the Philadelphia debate when the entire democratic feild went negative against her including Mr. Obama. For the Obama camp to now claim that Mrs. Clinton went negative first is the type of bold face lie that has become the mark of Obama. Railing against the system does not mean you are telling the truth. It just makes you lies all the more hypocritical. Obama can be trusted to tell the truth only if you are too stupid or brainwashed to know what the truth is.

Why did you disqualify Dennis Kuchinich form you little party? Maybe he would talk about Impeaching the criminal in the White House? Personally I'll take an Edwards/Kuchinich ticket or a Kuchinich/Edwards ticket. That way one can get this occupation over with and the other can file charges against Bush/Cheney and Co. for war crimes and Treason. It is treason for outing an active Valerie Plame. As for war crimes- -lying to Congress to get us into this farce, torture, and because of the lie we can't begin to count the number of dead Iraqi citizen's, but we do know how many American Father's, Mother's, Sister's, Brother's, Nephew's, Neices, Grandchildren, Boyfriends, Girlfriends and loved ones that have been lost. Saddam was hanged for murdering less. Just because he leaves office he is still guilty of his crimes and should be prosecuted. Iraq shoud extradite them and try them under Iraqi Law. Hey, Iowa!

She's claiming 35 years experience--as what? First lady of a rinky dink redneck state and then as of the US. Neither position is elected and neither qualifies as "experience" if you ask me. By the way who says experience should be the big factor here? Our founders had the good sense to leave the job to only native borns over the age of 35 as I recall. So that leaves Obama or Edwards..I like them both. I wish they'd make a deal to become a ticket..they'd knock out Hillary and probably clean the floor with the Republican Flip Floppers and the Fundamentalist. Go John, Go Obama, either one. I'll vote for Obama first--I think he's the most likely one for a complete change, but I can easily vote for John should he come out on top. --I'm a registered independent.

Politics no exception. Hillary Clinton has accomplished a lot, yet this campaign has given me the opportunity to get a better understanding of Hillary. Certain situations make it impossible to conceal the person/politician an individual would have you to view them as from the one they actually are. Over time it becomes for many easy to distinguish. This campaign has revealed a lot about her character that one might not have been aware of previously. And it shows what many fear about the capability of some women to attain to such responsibilty and authority. I do not mean to imply that women can't be president. We've seen around the globe proof to the contrary as to that fact. But let's not be coy about this because after all this is America the most powerful country in the history of mankind. It's not women that come into question here, it's a particular woman. And that woman is Hillary Clinton. I believe in order to get this job she'd sell her soul if it were her's to do so. But all evidence being brought to bear shows that she's certainly willing to argue the point. I admire most people for their accomplishments in their choosen fields. Politics no exception.

At the cnn you tube debate there were supposed Republican undecided voters who were discovered to be liberal Democrats. So in this poll how do we know these 23 "undecided Democratic" voters actually are who they SAY they are? Now wait a minute !

The CNN poll released on Dec 11th showed him performing the best against all Republican candidates, better than Clinton, better than Obama. When will the media start focusing on Edwards instead of the two "rock star" candidates? I hope people will stop using electability as a reason to support Clinton, who was the only Democrat in the CNN poll to actually lose to Republican candidates. It's time to start focusing on Edwards, the real candidate for change in Washington, the candidate with the best environmental plan, the best health care plan, and the only one who seems to realize that you can't serve the people while you take corporate donations.

Why is John Edwards being ignored by the media? He is an extremely viable candidate who polls as most electable and has a lot of popular support from both parties despite this lack of coverage?
