As an outsider I see this as a critical moment in US history. The American people made a big mistake in voting for Bush rather than Gore. If Clinton gets the nomination it will be another mistake that the US could not recover from – because there is no doubt the Democrats will go on to win. The US clearly need to look forward and claim some economic and cultural credibility in the world. They need to be liked and not only feared. So which candidate do i and my colleagues think is best for the future? One clear choice: Obama. Read on.

ON CLINTON: We do not believe what she says. She is focused on wining at any cost. She represents the old politics of power and deceit. Her previous acts betray her current language. To her this is a personal goal and not a national one.

ON McCAIN: We like the guy. McCain sounds comforting and relaxed. In another timeline in US history he could be what is needed. But that is not what the US need right now. He lacks the energy and enthusiasm needed to pull the US out of social and economic gloom. Sorry McCain but you are too old for this generation.

ON OBAMA: He sounds and looks genuine. He is about wining for the US and not for himself. The Wright controversy is a distraction from the fact that this man is clearly what the US desperately need. I wish we had him in Australia! We recently changed government for a younger candidate like Obama and it has stimulated excitement and hope for the younger generation. Its made the nation feel more positive about itself. The US has the same opportunity in Obama. Hang onto him. He will llift your country out of despair and make America the loved and respected saviour of the world again.

LASTLY: How can you call Fox a news network? It is an absolute insult to human intelligence. It is more a comedy network. They have no shame.

Signed, a concerned world citizen.

Look, the issue here is that Clinton is the only candidate left who is capable of "fixing" America- if not, be prepared for a 100 year war and a historic economic Depression.

Obama has deep character flaws that have been exposed consistently, and no matter how he tries to spin his personal inner conflicts to the media, and America,- He is at best, an emotional pacifist. He is trying to appease white voters, and at the same time continue to support the anti-American, anti-mainstream rhetoric of his Church in Chicago. This just is not a man of integrity, nor deep committment to America or to anyone. For example, his recent endorsement includes Richardson, another politician he mirrors exactly in terms of loyalty and genuineness. NEVER OBAMA!

Since I am a "typical" white person myself, I must vote for Clinton, or McCain if he happens to be the nominee. I cannot go out to the voting booth and support a man who has himself verbally direspected me, and merely acts the part of a good President while on Stage. Barack- you are the epitome of everything that is wrong with "typical" Washington poiltics, and yet you propagandize that as the opposite of your true nature. Barack, you will say and do anything to get elected, and then spin your exact corrupt political tactics, so eloquently, against your competitors. VOTERS BEWARE!! You eitherther have uncontrollable psychotic tendencies, or worse, YOU ARE JUST A REALLY GOOD MANIPULATOR OF PEOPLE during times when all Americans are seeking a change for the better.
NEVER OBAMA!

This is what Bill has been doing all along, ever since S. Carolina. He's been trying to pick a fight, because he doesn't give a rip. He got impeached, and it didn't phase him, so of course a fight within the party doesn't phase him. Nothing will ever phase him.

And that's why I can not vote for Hillary Clinton. She cannot tell her husband to shut up.

She stole that idea from Obama. She was totally for war in Iraq! Not only that she voted for war in Iran just in the fall (2007), less than a few months ago. So, apparently she didn't learn from her first mistake and is still up for war. She just says that she is now against war because she is jealous of Obama getting to be the favorite with his position against war. So, what does she do? Simply steal Obama's idea!

GOBAMA and take you finally proud to be American wife and your racist preacher with you!

Obama has been open to the American people.

Can Hillary be honest?

GET THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION THAN PLEDGE ALL THE DELEGATES FROM THAT STATE, IT

IS A RULE (RULES ARE RULES) YOU ARE PERMITTED TO USE TO PLEDGE ALL THOSE

DELEGATES TO HILLARY R. CLINTON

become the next president of America in 2009.

This is how she will win:

The pledge delegates won in the primaries are not bound, by their splitting by percentages, won

by either Clinton or Obama.

Thus the true voices of the people will be heard, i.e. the great state of New York voted that they

wanted Hillary R. Clinton to be the Democratic party leader. But according to the rules of DNC

(RULES ARE RULES) she had to split her state's delegates and give a large percentage of these

delegates to Obama.

One of the other rules of DNC (RULES ARE RULES) Pledge delegates won in the primary are not

bound by that commitment.

We will not get into the dumb rules in some states; such as even if you win the state by voters

count, you can still end up with less delegates, because you won the caucus, which can wipe out

the votes of the citizen of that state. SAY WHAT???

RULES ARE RULES PLEDGED DELEGATES. IF YOUR STATE WANTED HILLARY R. CLINTON TO

Go, Hillary. Women have endurance and toughness as well.

On a more general point, if Americans would just stop and look at themselves they would see that ending a reliance on coal and oil and worship of the almighty automobile might just stop the rapid fall into depression that is obvious to anyone living outside the country.

He's a long-term senator who has run multiple times for the highest office in our land. And, yet, in all that time, he has never bothered to become better informed and educated on serious issues that our President will need to take action on... namely the economy.

It seems that McCain feels that he can run on a reasonably good record of bipartisan efforts and strong support for military action on our behalf. But, even on his pet issues, he's not impressing us lately. He clearly doesn't even understand the fundamental fight between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq. If he did,, he'd never have mistaken the fact that "Al Qaeda in Iraq" are NOT getting training from their RIVALS in Iran!
I'm no US Senator, but I do try to keep up on what is going on in Iraq and the "war on terror". And, even regular ol' me knew that Iranians and Al Qaeda are not allied.

1. Obama is the chair of the SUB-committee for EUROPEAN affairs under the main committee that is the Foreign Relations Committee. Now if you think Afghanistan is in Europe then maybe you should go buy a map... nah you aren't that stupid you're just that uninformed.

2. Have you ever studied finance or economics? When we invest in Iraq the money is gone. But when we invest in the US then it stays in the US and when the country turns around and can then get us out of debt. Not investing any money isn't going to do anything.

3. Just because you haven't heard him talk about it (which btw, no candidate will give out the specifics of their plans because it will be picked apart and destroyed before it even has a chance) doesn't mean that he doesn't have any solutions.

4. The only thing I agree with. But you can't hold that against ONLY him, that would be absurd. Bush and the rest of the right wingers won't allow any federal help with the housing crisis. It's too much of "big government" and saving the foolish for them, so to say that they're not trying isn't fair... there's nothing they can do, at least that isn't already being done.

Conclusion: Do not JUST listen to speeches. That last part of your comment told me EXACTLY what I predicted in the first sentence of my comment, you are only getting your view of the candidates through the TV. Go look at their records, check out their histories, and read what they've said about the issues or what other people have said about their stances on the issues.

Hillary is definitely the toughest of both candidates.
She has the experience and I tell you she WILL change the White House.
We don't need hope, we need someone that knows how to do it.
Go Girl!

Before speaking bad about obama read the senate record of both the candidates and you will see who has done more. He has also unified more people and has not sold out his party to win like Hillary. Hillary is a JUDAS !!!! And by the way he is not black he is mixed, get it through your brains.

If Barack Obama were a traditional, White American where would his ratings be???

Or if Hillary were a Black woman, where would this all go????

If you change views after these theories, then race and gender DOES in fact play a significant role in your selection...

Get over it... Obama is the rightful nominee. Thankfully, an educated well spoken politician. It's about time!

HOW LAX....

THIS country needs a leader that can do both motivate and lead yet not letting us be distracted with all the nonsense the media has helped boost over the last few weeks.

I have tried to debate with Obama supporters and most of them cannot tell me WHY they are supporting OBAMA. All they say is "He is Change".. That's it! Change like what?, like he's black??... "Ummm, yeah"... PLEASE GET REAL!!!!

I was extremely disappointed that last two elections when Bush won but it's more disappointing to read/hear about people within the democratic party berate each other. I support Obama and as much as I don't like Hilary, I will vote for her if she is the nominee as I DO NOT want McCain in office.

Obama STILL leads John McCain in the head-to-head matchup and STILL leads Hillary among Democrats? Not to mention votes, states and delegates. Why is he still here? BECAUSE HE'S STILL WINNING!
