I dont understand you any more. I thought you cared about americans. now I see you are just like the others. Aleader will stand for what is right for America. You said you wanted change, My question is change of what. If you dont know by now you dont know. Billary is clearly the same as the past. Her mind set is the same as the rest. My friends and I decided to vote for any republican in protest of Billary, we want Change and that encludes the clintons. They are to poisened by washington to truely care about Americans. They been there all this time and Americans are still suffering. The clintons arent, worried about loosen their home, jobs, getting sick with no true health care. they're not cutting their medicine in half to make it lsast longer. they're not choosen between which bills to pay. My family shouldnt have to do this. my husband retired from the United States Marine Corp. I've worked any jobs thought the 29yrs of marraige with him, and we are still struggling to make ends meet, we now are taking care of my elderly parents because neither of them after working hard in america , can afford to take care of themselves.

I wish he could win but I've seen victory as an African American. I'm encouraged that one day an African American will be President. It is time out for white Americans and now other minorities to stop thinking that an African American doesn't have the intelligence that God created everyone equal with. I believe that Martin Luther King living was not in vain, because Georgia is his hometown. The Dream is still alive. The world and the economy, amongst other things is getting worst and worst . It is time for a change that only an African American can straighten out, and I'm a woman. I believe an African American should have his turn before a woman, Then other minorities, in which I believe is inevitable. Understanding that the Governor of Lousiana is Indian. That's a different mind. I would like to say that a woman in history disobeyed God first. She was easily deceived. So that has to be taken in consideration. I know it's Bible History. But, it is my belief that it is the truth of the world and is a part of World History. I also remember Jessie Jackson when he came close to being the first African American President. I wish that people could get beyond color and see that we need a change in Washington DC. I beleive that women saying that they want a woman for change is a facade. Hillary is White and that's all to it. Suppose it was Condelisa Rice an African American running against her, where does the experience goes then. I remember Condelisa(I hope I spelled her name right) saying she wanted to be the President of the United States. I was excited about Georgia doing the right thing and I have a voice and looked for a way to be heard. Obama is projected winner in Georgia and it was worth my vote. I wish he could

In many states, the candidates must submit to the Secretary of State a notarized Affidavit of Withdrawal. Any candidate who does not do so remains on the ballot, and any votes for that candidate are counted. This would be the case for any candidate who withdrew recently, including Giuliani. So, with the early votes not counted, and the votes today, John Edwards may have a surprising number of popular votes in these states. John Edwards is still on the ballot in Georgia.

Clintons are the status quo. They had 8 years to give us health care and failed. They lost Congress and left the Democrats *weaker* than when they started. They achieved almost nothing of substance in 8 years, and squandered their time in scandal and missteps. What makes you think they can do it this time????? What was that quote from Einstein about stupidity being repeating the same action and hoping for a different outcome? The Clintons were okay but ultimately a disappointment. And they haven't showed us that they have "changed" or matured in the intervening 8 years. And I'm sorry, but Hillary is essentiall yarguing that becuase she failed and stumbled on healthcare last time, she'll do good this time. Why? Congress has to approve it. And since the Clintons will win 51% if they are lucky, there is little hope of a big mandate and big enough majorities in Congress. Indeed,. they are likely to lose Congress because they will fire up the GOP base. We can afford to give the Clintons 16 years and risk having achieved NOTHING AT ALL after all this. I hope Edwards endorses Obama.

Clintons are the status quo. They had 8 years to give us health care and failed. They lost Congress and left the Democrats *weaker* than when they started. They achieved almost nothing of substance in 8 years, and squandered their time in scandal and missteps. What makes you think they can do it this time?????

This is a man who made several millions suing doctors and hospitals in his home state. As a trial lawyer, he helped destroy the healthcare system of his state. Many doctors and hospitals went out of business as a result of the many frivolous lawsuits he took to court. To me, it's great hypocrisy that he now comes around touting universal healthcare for all. He also touts his love for poor people but he has no problem spending hundreds of dollars for a haircut. If he cares so much about poor people, shouldn't he have cut his hair for about $15 - $30 like normal people do and then donate the rest to charity? I'm glad the people of his birth state, SC saw thru all the fluff and rejected him at the polls. And I couldn't be happier when his campaign came to a shameful end either.
