If Hillary does pull off some kind of miracle then I will simply write in and place my vote for Obama. I have two daughters both near age 40. And, neither of them have ever had the opportunity to go to the booth and place a vote without a Bush or a Clinton being on the ticket. I know this comment will probably simply sit in moderation as I am an Obama supporter. But, truly Hillary you represent the past and the old Washington. The majority of voting Americans have made it very clear that we want change. And, Obama is the only way we will get it. Voting for Hillary will simply be voting for politics as usual in Washington.

He still voted for an ill-conceived, illegal and immoral war and he still talks about us deciding what's best rather than understanding the anger regarding some of our actions in foreign nations (which don't justify terrorist attacks on innocent civilians). Even though we should not have invaded, we are stuck with a moral obligation to somehow restore some sort of infrastructure and stability to the nation and hope the Iraqis install a relatively democratic government. To show good faith, he should acknowledge our mistake and support the development of Iraqi oil resources with the majority of the profits going to the Iraqi people or regulated Iraqi-owned oil companies and very little, if any, going to us. While I like some of what he said, I still think he's another borrow and bomb conservative.

How important are the republican votes now? They won't even bother unless there is something else on the ballot and even then the turn out is low. There are about 800 superdelegates to be heard from and they need to know who can win in November not just the primary. They need all the states to be heard from and they need to take Florida and Michigan into account, even though they don't have state delegates, they have millions of votes to be weighed, even though Obama wants them to remain uncounted.

In Iraq we do need a good plan to get out of their, but it is not possible to leave their within the next year or two without an amazing plan that works for all. Also, if we shut down Guantanamo, it doesn't mean that the torture will stop, it will just move elsewhere. Besides were would we send our prisoners of war? McCain needs to stick with the facts and be a straight shooter if he wants to win this election. To all the nominees, playing games with the American people can only go so far and we are tired of watching you rip each other apart.

He will only hurt the little guy, the ones who go to work everyday and pay taxes. He will only hurt family's, just like he did his own. He will only hurt America and do the legal citizens any good.
