Mr. Obama is riding a mega-wave of hype and sympathy. A Cinderella-story is always more interesting than day-to-day politics, another 'new-JFK' more than a face well known to the public for over 16 years. After nearly 8 years of unending domestic and international catastrophe, what this country needs is good, old-fashioned, boring leadership - not a Cinderella story. If Mr. Obama continues to prove himself a good politician and leader, he'll get his shot at the presidency. This time around, we need Hillary.

My reason is purely objective: America seems to be unaware of the fact that the state of the country is dicey and needs someone with experience and not someone who dazes the public with rhetorics. I see that America (young) needs some form of excitement, but they should realise that the white house is not for hip hop ( which dominates the charts nowadays) or for inspirational or motivational talkers but for those who know the economy and have some form of experience. America represents democracy and not ethnocracy! African Americans should please vote objectively and not the way we vote in Nigeria (tribal sentiments). Texas Ohio and Rhode Island have just shown that they have the economy at heart and are not swayed by mere words or excitement!!

Most are not finding a lot there other than (Yes We Can). Some of his foriegn policy positions clearly reflect his inexperience and lack of understanding of the world situation. Likewise his proposed domestic solutions to correct an economy that is being torn apart by a combination of high energy prices, rising inflation, the loss of millions of high paying manufacturing jobs and a slow slide into what may possibly be one of the deepest recessions since Jimmy Carter. I believe Obama will be a Jimmy Carter clone, he will probably be elected as a Washington outsider, move there and prove that fact to be true. He will not be able to move any legislation because he has no connections. The final result will be four years of stagflation punctuated with high sounding speeches, proposed solutions that go nowhere and a lot of YES WE CAN.

Far from the arrogance he displayed these past few weeks. He's not a happy man tonight and I loved the look on all the pundits faces when they saw Clinton racking in the wins. They all counted her out long ago, and I am glad to say that I didn't. Hopefully the media will start to see that Obama's not the "Golden Boy" they thought he was. C'mon everyone don't be fooled by Obama's self-righteous preaching, let's put someone in the White House that will know what to do when things get rough.

Obama first lied about the conversation, but after a week or so finally admitted to his campaign’s mistake after he was called out on the subject by the media. The deceitful idea of misrepresenting and denouncing his debate words as simple debate rhetoric to Canadian officials was clearly unethical. However, there is the fact that Obama initially lied about the incident and eventually came clean after the media called him out on his misconduct. Obama’s conscience clearing moment came after evidence was presented to Obama in the form of an undeniable existing memo and should obviously trouble his supporters. Paper shedders would most likely be a popular piece of office equipment in an Obama administration – sound familiar? Indictments are more likely to come from misrepresentation of facts and lies rather than the unethical behavior his campaign staff. Obama’s deceptive actions have, in essence, cost him the primaries tonight and any future chance at the Democratic nomination. Obama’s supporters, potential undecided supporters, and last minute voters tonight, who overwhelmingly went for Hillary in Texas, view Obama as the same as any other politician who is willing to lie in order to make him or herself look flawless to his constituents. Consequently, his unrealistic message of being a special type of politician who can be trusted and a candidate of some kind of change are forever hindered as the truth about Obama becomes clear. Obama’s past and lies are finally catching up with him and Senator Clinton has no need to unload the kitchen sink on Obama. As mentioned. Obama is perfectly capable of misrepresenting himself, flip-flopping, and exaggerating during his well-rehearsed and well written stump speeches. Needless to say, Obama’s speeches will become very old rhetoric over the weeks to come as he faces demise in Pennsylvania.

It turns out he is actually not a different kind of politician at all and neither apparently are his supporters. We went to vote in our precinct caucus in Dallas County, Texas, and were told by the people at the front door that we were too late and that the inside doors were locked. So we went and hid around the corner and watched them let lots of other people in. We then went and found a police officer, told him what they had told us, and with his help had no trouble getting in. I am so totally amazed by the audacity of it all. After this treatment by the Obama campaign, you can be sure that this candidate is not the kind of CHANGE that I am seeking. I wonder how many people just went home and were not counted? I think I know how the Florida and Michigan voters must be feeling about now. I totally get it. I see now why they do not want to vote for a candidate that does not want their vote to count. I am very impressed with Mr. Obama and his campaign operatives, very UNFAVORABLY impressed. Up until this incident, he had my vote if my candidate of choice was not the nominee of the Democratic party. Should Ms. Clinton not secure the party nomination, that vote just switched to John McCain. I got to witness firsthand why Obama is "confident he'll win nomination."

I believe her plan is to muddy the water so much so that if she does not get nomination, Barack will be so damaged that he will not win the general election, thus setting her up to run again in 4 years against Mccain. I don't put this past the Clinton's. They will act as though they support the nominee, just as they did with John Kerry, all the while knowing if their Democratic candidate wins, the Clinton plans will be in jeopardy. I can see through them, I only hope the rest of America will as well.

We Can! Senator Obama is the strongest and best ever hope that America has to heal, to repair its economy and to revive a global image. Enough of the Clintons. I had been a Clinton supporter (president and senator) since the 90s, but in the past months I have grown so disappointed in both of them now, and despairing in their wake for personal power. Hillary's throwing her hat into the ring is the height of arrogance, naked improper ambition, and disservice to the unity of the country and the Democratic party. Yes! We Can!

I don’t know the law well enough but doesn’t the constitution trump party rules? 19th and 26th Amendments prohibit the federal government and the states from forbidding any citizen to vote due to their sex or age (if over 18). Nothing specifically addresses the issue of denying a citizen the right to have his/her vote counted regardless of “a political party” rule but I have to believe that the right to have a citizens vote count would be upheld over a political party “rule” no?… Dave K, WA State Constitution vs. DNC rules?
