There are so many reasons to support Barack Obama, but I am finding less and less willingness to support Clinton if she wins the nomination. Her negative and back door and selective campaign strategies have reinforced the notion that she is only for helping people who can further her own ambitions.

I have exercised this right throughout the years because I'm a responsible person. Today, it's more than a right, I can truly say it's a privilege to vote for Barack Obama. I believe we all have a sixth sense that alerts us not only of danger, but more importantly - when something special is about to happen. I believe with every fibre of my being that Barack Obama is the best candidate to elevate the political discussion above the stench of "politics as usual." With the exception of John Edwards, the agenda of the other candidates seems to be embedded in the cortex of the brain where the quest for power resides. Barack Obama comes from a place of honesty, common sense and empowerment; he has made a multitude of citizens recognize the power within ourselves to become the force for change in making make this great country even greater. As America moves toward a more homogenous society - my vote is for a leader that stresses how much we have in common and that our differences, such as color, race, religion and gender are what makes our country so interesting and wonderful. It's a shame that so many exploit these differences for their own selfish gain. One thing I know for sure is that if Obama is not elected President, he and his wonderful family will be just fine. They have enough genuine love and support for each other to validate "It's A Wonderful Life" - But what a missed opportunity it will for the rest of us. Stay positive and do or say something nice or inspiring to someone today - and everyday.

Clearly, that kind of controversy wouldn't be in the best interest of either candidate this year. Puerto Rico is the last Democratic Primary contest with 55 delegates awarded Proportionally at Senatorial District caucuses in June. Regardless of that outcome, the Governor is also a superdelegate and that is a good vote to have in this close race.

He uses the same exact rhetoric that Bush used during his first run at the white house "I'll be a uniter, not a divider". Remember, talk is cheap, it's what you do. Obama is an inspirational speaker, not a leader BASED ON HIS MINIMAL RECORD. I will not vote for Obama under any circumstances and I think the democrats will not win in November if this guy is carrying the banner. I always was amazed at how Americans could vote Bush into office not once, but TWICE. Watching people fall for Obama's empty promises reminds me how gullible Americans are for pretty words.

In Michigan: Since Obama's name did not appear on the ballot, allocate a lower percentage of the delegates, say 25% based on the Jan election, then conduct a new mini primary or caucus to allocate the remaining delegates. A mini primary is one that allows polls to be opened for about 6 hours instead of the usual 12 hours. this would cut down costs. I further suggest that these mini primariaes be held on April 16, same day as the Penn primary, that way on April 16, the Dems would be sure of a definite resolution to the struggle.

Obama , I am listening for specifics and I have not heard them yet.

Clinton is running on her "Health Care" plan but it seems that the obvious question is not being asked. When she first attempted to revise health care in this country it was during the second term of her husband. She got knocked down, stomped and beat down by the republicans. She then lived and worked in the White House for the next "6 years" - how come she didn't try again if she feels so strong about health care, why did she stop until she decided to run for president by way of the New York Senate. Hillary only wants the Presidency as a professional goal she will not make universal health care a reality and any who believe that are believing in fantasy. Jesus tells his disciples when that ask how they will know the genitals for the true believers - he replied: YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THE FRUIT THAT THEY BEAR. Look at Hillary's life's work and then look at Obama's - has anyone every seen her dirty, marching or defending civil rights? PEOPLE PEOPLE PLEASE THINK – Sen.
