Not her fault Michigan messed up there Delagate Count. Both Edwards and Obama are on the Florida Ballet, knowing it too was suspended like Michigan. Senator Clinton is the best candidate for President. A Clinton / Obama ticket would be unbeatable. My gut feeling tells me that Clinton can win without Obama, but I do not feel Obama can win without Clinton. This team would be so GREAT for America.

Americans need to do their research on each candidate, don't let the media determine your decision for you. Voters should not only listen to the debates, but also go back and look at each candidate’s record through out his or her service to America. Another problem I take issue to is cable news networks inviting the Presidential candidates they want to a debate. This is not fair to the American voter. Please let us determine on our own who will be the next President to run this great country! And no matter who our next President is....American people need to speak up and be heard!! Tell your local government what you’re not happy with. After all they work for us…. I agree with an earlier poster "Darrin" from Brockport, NY.

A conservative President will not increase your income taxes-- whether you make $40,000 or $400,000, your withholding will not suffer. If you have less taken out of your check, you end up with more money in your pocket. Yes, Republicans will also take less taxes from big businesses, but them those big businesses can develop products of tomorrow, invest here in the USA and provide jobs. Raising taxes never helps the economy. Do you want more money in your pocket?

I think its a shame that the R.N.C AND THE D.N.C can come into Michigan and esentially tell our voters that their vote doesnt matter because they are above the establishment and voters wants and needs. They take away our delegates because we dont play by their rules. We definately need a third party. It is a slap in the face of the Michigan voters to do that to us, we have 17 electoral votes and you better believe when it comes to that they will care, but care only for our electoral votes not our wishes wants and needs that drive us to vote as we do.

If this is to be debated that we are truly sick. Her assumption is that the Romney children are failures. Based on what? Let's take fact and not opinion. Romney is a politician - but a reality is he has turned companies around, the Olympics around, a state around. He is one of the best turn-around leaders there is. Our government needs a turn-around. Over course he can turn the automative industry around. It is time to use innovation to correct our auto industry. It needs a major overhaul. My criticism of Romney is flip-floppying on abortion.

Poor designs and new designs that had bugs still to work out were used extensively. Many designs used by General motors( like distributorless ignition ) were used 10 years earlier than Honda installed them on their cars. Of course General motorss had several problems with early distributorless ignition systems. Sure alot of the union labor in auto manufacturing are alittle overpaid but they cant be blamed for engineering and management decisions. The overpayment of these workers and other union workers had a positive effect by lifting wages and setting higher standards for other working class jobs. An example is when the U.S. had an abundance of union jobs the pay scale of non union jobs was higher to keep employees from fleeing to union shops. kind of reminds me of trikle down economics. hah hah hah ........ anyone believe in trikle down economics now?

I know a solution. Tax plans do not work. Lowering or making them higher doesnt work. The ECONOMY needs money. I can solve the economy problem and am wondering why no one else sees it as simple as I do. This country needs a new market one that the US is very good at. Well, what products do Americans export the most? I am not an expert but I see Coke Budweiser and Tobacco everywhere around the world. We sell chemical mood enhancers around the world at superior product quality and for cheaper cost than anyone else in the world. We need to tap into the new market that marajuana could offer our farmers and this country. We need a president that will step outside the box take a stand and recognize this opportunity to bring the US back to a top exporter, create jobs, help farmers and reinvigorate the economy. There is a demand for this product. A product that is safer than alcohol and all natural with little need for addities or preservatives. You can grow it again and again fairly quickly like tobacco. We sell, regulate and tax caffiene, nicotine and alcohol all which have pluses and minuses, marajuana has them too and we have the best farmland in the world. We could be the top suppliers in the world on a global scale. Imagine the possibilities if the tobacco industry got involved and started this market and got taxed. This country would be out of recession and a huge boost to the economy would occur and desperately needed jobs would be instantly created. Guaranteed. What are the reasons that these politicians deny this market that we could tap into? We would have such a boost to the economy we could fund universal healthcare like they have in every other civilized country. This country was founded by people with a pioneering spirit. We need a pioneering president to break new ground open new markets and rejuvenate this country and get us to love it and believe in it once again.
