Judging from the responds to the ad, Its amazing that Obama's supporters are 75% and Hillary's are 25%. CNN polls might not be right unless its same people that are always responding to CNN blogs.

Gee, how terrible. That just means Obama comes without preconditioned responses, predetermined opinions, an ability to integrate the information given him by wise counsel, and a willingness to actually listen to the people he would govern and maybe, dare I hope, address himself to OUR needs rather than his own.

Too bad that people do not read enough history to know that up until the last 10 years, Washington was able to solve a few challenges when people of all views reached out to one another to solve problems rather than create them.

I am new enough on the national political scene that I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views. As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if not all, of them. Which perhaps indicates a second, more intimate theme to this book–namely, how I, or anybody in public office, can avoid the pitfalls of fame, the hunger to please, the fear of loss, and thereby retain that kernel of truth, that singular voice within each of us that reminds us of our deepest commitments

Hillary should be ashame of herself.

Why? He has yet to tell me any specific about what his "changes" would be. He talks about change and everyone thinks it's time for it. Well listen up people Bill Clinton said the same thing when he was running for President. Obama says he is different. He is not. He is just using people emotions and telling them what they want to hear. I'll listen when he starts telling me what he is going to change not just that we need to.

The Senate gave Bush a package of options. Obama says they were wrong for doing that. Now Obama says he needs all those options if he feels he needs to go back into Iraq. This is the same two talking stance of an any old same old politician. There is no change here, same old say what ever then contradict that when expedient. He said he was to be listen too because he was always against giving war powers to the President. I guess he really means he was against giving them to that President. There no trust in his flip flopping. Obama wants the same powers for himself as president that he rejects senators for giving Bush. The Senate gave Bush a package of options.

Seems like she's hurting her own chances instead of Obama's. Why would she want to do that? This race is getting waaaay out of hand and the attacks by Clinton are very, very unnecessary. I guess when you lose you have to start attacking? (Question mark?) Well at least one candidate is taking the high road. And strangely enough, that candidate seems to be winning this race. Wow. Who would have thought?!?! Hillary is very, very desperate.

If not, Hillary is going to divide the party and they will loose the election come November. Remember desperation leads to destruction. Voters should be aware of this polarization.

Judging from how many posters have said this very same message, in various forms, throughout the internet today (and even on this very blog), it's apparent that the email went out this morning from Clinton Headquarters that this would be the internet message of the day. Once again, tactics instead of issues from the Clinton campaign. It hasn't worked yet...I wonder why they think it will now. Perhaps it's all they have left.

But it is not necessarily a policy change that people seek. Having Obama as Commander in Chief is frankly terrifying, and even Angelina Jolie now supports the surge (for whatever that's worth). Thankfully, we have a "maverick" non-Clinton, non-Bush in the race who nevertheless is not likely to lead us to defeat in the GWOT--introducing President McCain!!
