Hillary draws her votes from all groups in the primary while Obama draws his votes mainly from college students who are tired of old politicians.This partern of voting for Obama may not favour him in the general election if he scales through the primaries. If Hillary wins the primary,my fear is that the repubs will still remain in the WHITEHOUSE because USA is not yet ready for a woman president. Please make a wise choice,this is the country that rules the world. Hillary is politically more stable than Obama and even the other candidate in the repub.

I question his credibility ever since he did not show up to take that crucial vote on Iran and conveniently stated he was campaigning. The other three democratic presidential candidates took time away from their campaigns and voted! I now feel that he is even less trustworthy when he questions Edwards' credibility due to 527's. He is one to talk. Obama is receiving help from 527 groups here in california. However, the media's darling was once again not questioned about this.

That said, the person who will represent America to the rest of the world must be articulate, sensitive to other nations,and someone who we as Americans will be proud to be the leader of the Free Nation. The person elected should prove to the rest of the world that we are "free thinkers" in America, we love our freedom and we want a change. In my opinion, that person is Barack Obama. He speaks clearly, honestly and with conviction. From all I have seen about and heard from him, he is the best hope for the next four/eight years.

His actual votes obtained on Jan 3 & 8 will be much less. Obama counts a lot of support from university and college students in Iowa and New Hampshire. Unfortunately, many of these students are out-of-states especially in New Hampshire, and the voting dates (jan 3 & 8) are during their winter breaks. For example, as it appears that Iowa require these young students to return back to their campuses for the caucuses, it is NOT promising that all these YOUNG students, who said supporting obama over the phone to pollsters, will go back to their campuses on Jan 3 and spend hours for the caucuses.

He draws a lot of supports from university and college students. While they may tell the pollsters over the phone that they support Obama now, many of these young kids will never spend a few hours to show up to caucus or vote because (a) a good TV show or football is in progress, or (b) they are out-of-town students or residents. In the 2004 election, only 17% of the eligible voting students showed up to vote. In addition, as the caucus or voting dates draw near, the voters will think harder and will not vote Obama because of: his inexperience, his color of skin, his indiscretions when young, his muslim background, his dirty tricks, his flip-flopps in policies, etc. In short, he is not electable, and it would be a disaster for the democrat party to nominate him.

To say that Obama would "only help the blacks" is an incredibly ignorant comment. One could say the same thing about many women only seeing Hilary for the support she can bring to women. I believe that Hilary Clinton will not provide the country with what it needs at this point in time; a strong progressive influence.

I will say this… polls are meaningless especially when they are this early. You should not depend on polls or be influenced by them, like I said they're meaningless. Polls are a waste of time and who knows how erroneous they are. Good day. Morning everyone!

Edwards may drop out as well if he comes in third in Iowa. Most of those votes aren't going to go to Clinton. Richardson, Dodd and Biden will almost certainly drop out the day after Iowa.
