I'm with you Bob! Everyone running has enough experience. We need someone who won't divide us any further, but will be willing to work with everyone, not just those who fear us or already agree with us, like Bush.

If experience is touted to be the primary factor in determining who should be our next "FEARLESS LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD" – why is not our Incumbent Vice President running for election – on the record of the CURRENT ADMINISTRATION"S EXPERIENCE?

We do not need the kind of "EXPERIENCE" the Bush Administration has burdened us with – in the World's eyes! – Thank you. Look at what we are left to deal with – in terms of cleaning up all the messes created by the current administration. The Republicans will be lucky if they are even able to take back control of Congress for the next 12 years in my opinion....

We need some FRESH thinkers in Washington, in order to establish the faintest hint of CREDABILITY with the rest of the World's nations. I will Take Obama in a HEARTBEAT over any of the other candidates from either party – even an Independant Candidate.

Any other like minded individuals out there who think the same thoughts – please respond!

CHANGE , YOU DEMO'S
DON'T CRY TO ME WHEN YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS WIND UP CURSING YOU OUT ONE DAY!!!
IF THEY ARE LIVING IN FREEDON AT ALL!

If this had not been used before, most would say ..Obama.... you are no Jack Kennedy.

Change can't be judged by WORD. If all the word is empty,
what will you expect from the candidate?

Change, change, and change is necessary especially when people with so called 35 years of experience intentionally undermined the peace and security of not just Americans but other innocent people around the world by voting to wage war this was based on fallacy. This is why it is so important that we have new generation of leaders who will make use of every available means in any given moment before resulting to the use of force. I do believe that Obama has enough experience to shape the future of America as well as the entire world. I believe this because his record of bringing people together is clear. Obama will eradicate the idea of bieng with us or against us. This concept has made the world a dangerous place for all.

By the way, how many years of experience does one need to be a good president? Is it 5, 10, 20 or 100 years? I hope you get the message. It is time for politicians of the old order to give way to agents of cahange like Obama.

They look like they're singing a duet in that photo-split.

Yeah! Watch out, everybody: Here come your new American idols!

Cue the baying hounds.

Would someone please inform Obama's supporters that race is not an issue. I can imagine the outcry should Hillary reveive 90% of the white vote. But of course that would be a vote for Hillary for the wrong reason. As usual, Bill was right.......just shouldn't have said so out loud

ABC News WILL print it

Come on, who says that Hillary Clinton has more experience than Obama. 8 years as first lady (an unelected postion)–does that give her experience? No it does not. She is in the first half of her second term of U.S. senator. Obama is in the latter part of his first term, but he has been a state senator as well.

If you count it up, Obama has had more experience in elected office than Hillary Clinton has.

Go Obama 08

CNN = Clinton News Network LMAO

I hesitate to bring this up because I'm afraid that we're getting into a race battle here, but I'm white and I support Obama. What I want to know is why we keep calling him a black candidate. If I'm not mistaken, his mother was white. Why can't we claim him as white also?

hey rechi i'm black and i voted for obama but all of the black elected officials endorsed hillary clinton. the black democrats are not being racist we are doing what iowa set the trend for, so don't cry because obama is winning be happy because unracist white people are leading the bandwagon now stop being silly and put that good guy in the white house.

Iraq is part of todays problem, but it is also the part of the solution.When the billions of dollars spent to no good in Iraq can find a better way to be spent in the US economy. Bring the boys home !

I guess using JP's argument, I would have 13 years as a lion tamer...I'm a teacher!

Wade – I don't think anyone old enough to vote should be referred to as "girls". Thank you for showing your sexism and reminding us women that we have a long way to go to be treated equally. Makes sense now why you won't entertain voting for someone who is intensely qualified to be president, but who happens to be female.

When your experience allows you to vote wrong on the biggest vote in the last 8 years (Iraq) I don't see how it counts for anything.

A boomer who saw Vietnam play out should have known better, and would have except for trying to position herself politically.

Girls, take heart, there WILL someday be a women candidate - not a wife following in the footsteps of her husband - that we can all support and that will be the 1st women President, but at this time we should be looking forward, not backward.

Of course we all expect change. Any president coming out of this election will have to be better than GWB.
Hope to see Barack will take John Kerry as a running mate. That team should be experienced.

CNN should show a graph by state showing delegates available,committed,uncommitted prorated states, how it goes to conventions, etc. it would be a great draw especially for those sports addicts now that NFL is finished . I'm an alternate delegate from Pa CD7. Most voters don't understand how the delegates are even elected,etc..It would be informative and increase your followers and prform a civic service.

JP- By your argument, then Obama would REALLY not stand a chance against McCain since he has even less experience than HiIllary. And even Hillary's critics- including Obama himself- don't doubt her experience.

Name me 5 president besides Reagan and Kennedy who had tons of great experience and was remembered as a great president.

I'll name you 2 who had only a few years of experience and changed the nation. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Can there be change with only 10 yrs Federal Experience....

Yes there Can!!!

If we look at the statistics, it's very clear that among black voters this has become a very racial issue as almost 90% of them are voting for Obama and that's the reason Obama is winning. If the whites also started voting the way black are voting, Obama will not win a single state. It's a shame for a democratic country when one group of people become tend to become so much racist. Sorry for America indeed...

Our country is at war, Our foreing policy is somehow broken, the economy is nearing what we may never imagine, and we are deeply divided. Any one who is going to become our next president must deal with these vital issues.

On The Job Training is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Not now, not ever for President... it's too risky folks. Look what happened with Bush. Clearly, Kerry had more experience. Wakeup.

Bill,
What does it really mean? It is fine that people desiring change voted for Obama and who chose experience voted Clinton. What percentage of democratic voters choose change v.s experience is the only significant factor to make sense of your post. Thanks

change ,shmange. All dems want something new. I think a shot for a woman to run the country is actually the most refreshing thing the U.S has had to offer in decades.

Thanks for NAFTA and the 90's hillary. now please leave this race gracefully

Still have NOT been able to figure out what HRC's experience is. Experience making bad judgements and sending people to their death is not the type of experience I prefer.

I really wish someone would clarify this "35 years experience" Sen. Clinton keeps touting–essentially since she's been out of law school. By the same standards Obama would have 25 years experience. I'm sorry but being the governor's and president's wife without national security clearance doesn't count for much. If someone doesn't start calling her on this soon, I'm sure the Republicans will– if she's the nominee. Not to mention if this is her main strength, it doesn't hold a candle to McCain.

What this actually means is that Obama voters voted for change and Hillary voters voted for experience. You did not give us the overall numbers Bill although they probably back up your premise.
