Obama is brilliant and rational, and his judgment would far better serve the American people than exaggerated and overstated experience. Character counts more than embellishment and malicious intent.

Not to mention the race-baiting being done by the media, including CNN ie. Anderson Cooper 360 story on minister Wright (old news). Which is exactly what David Gergen said to steer clear of in his article about re-focusing on the issues!

To NOT recognize that he actually balanced the budget when he was in office is just rediculous. All Americans might want to think twice about experience when it comes to the economy. If I were Hillary and had this "brilliant" economic man in my pocket, I would certainly brag about it to the world. I have had my own business for years. If I were to leave it in the hands of someone that didn't have experience would be absurd. Wake up America. By supporting Hillary it's a sure shot of success. Obama is a long shot.

Why should government be different? The "wealthy" get the same government, lousy as it is, as everyone else.

The economy is key, but so is the situation in the Middle East. Don't get ahead of yourself Wolf. The Dems still have to pick a candidate.

There is also an 800 lb gorilla in the room that wasn't present in 1992. It is called the Iraq war. The economy is key, but so is the situation in the Middle East.

And we are not stupid about this! Vote for McCain and we will be dragged into the bottom ever deeper. He has voted to enrich the more affluent, rob the poor and the poorer and increase our deficit even more by using trillions and trillions to further the cause of the Iraq war. Now, where on earth do people use their resources to finance an unjust war, that benefits no one, and allow his own country and its citizens to languish in poverty and many to die a slow death? This is what is on the map if McCain becomes our next president. Of course it's about the economy! And we are not stupid about this!

She is such a hard worker and so determined to do well. Obama seems a nice enough person but can't begin to compete with Hillary. Maybe in 8 or so years he should try again. I don't think he should even be offered the VP position; he's just not ready... if anything happened to Hillary, we'd be stuck with Obama- someone who will have to learn as he goes.Obama's big talk with no dues paid is not a fitting background to run for the Presidency of the USA. Additionally, the Democratic Party will have to be scrutinized much more carefully by me and others because of their allowing someone like Obama to come so close to getting their nomination- don't they screen their nominees more closely than that.
