Before I die, I'd like to see Americans routinely have a 3rd choice in these important elections. But the 2 established parties tell you "you're wasting your vote" if you vote for a 3rd party candidate. That's simply not true. I wasted my vote by voting AGAINST the Republican Bush (by voting for Kerry, who i didn't like), when I should have voted for a third party candidate, just to build up another option for future elections. I think we can scrap the current election (it's the worst choice of candidates in my lifetime), and start telling these politicians we want more choices by not voting for the 2 party system. Personally, I'll probably vote Nader, but we should all pick someone other than Obama or McCain, no matter how obscure. Let them know we mean it when we say we want change. We need to get the ball rolling. It's not a waste to create more options for the future. I'm tired of this 2 party crap.

So let's be real folks, Hillary just doesn't work as his choice...way way too much baggage, and I'm not talking about the one she married or the ones under her eyes.

GO OBAMA 08 & 12

During that event I met many hard working State level persons who were with Senator Obama through the primaries. Trust me, I learned a lot of what happened on the campaign trail. And, I won't repeat them here. Deliberate political dirty tricks from the Clinton's and their camp toward Obama. They obviously would do anything and I mean anything to win. Because of that and other tawdry reasons, I ask why would he want HRC around again? She can't wash the dirt and mud off of herself to be presentable to America at any level much less be at Barack's side. This is one sixty something female Obamacan that will never go near a Clinton. It is time for change and Hope..........let's take a look at the seriousness of our economy and the war, and put the Clinton saga to rest. No more...it is over HRC.

Get over it, the Clintons have been in control of a dying party for far too long. Even Barack, as the new "party leader" fails to address issues of importance to most Americans; rather, just like McCain, he addresses issues by kissing butts with an eye on pleasing all of the fractured minorities rather than touching the reforms that people want. Illegals don't vote and people without jobs have every right to be angry with a government that is more concerned with dumping money into other countries for the benefit of American corporations, than with the welfare of its own citizens.

What does that say about the candidate's managements skills and appeal to voters? In a lot of ways, the fundraising is the "first primary": most of Obama's opponents dropped out when they failed to raise enough money to conduct a campaign. Point: THEY DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT SUPPORT! Hillary didn't have sufficient support, but she tried to pay her own way. She should have dropped out like the others! This was an entirely democratic process and the people have spoken as they will again in November.
