Obama could have done something to salvage his presidential bid and once again he took the wrong path when he picked the weakest link and went with the "safe” VP. I wish him good luck. It's too bad he could not see the fact that he need it to Woo the base of the party that supported Hillary and Biden is not going to do it for him. Biden accentuates his weakness and he would have been the best secretary of State. I am there, for the first time in my life I am supporting a Republican.

Whether Senator McCain or Senator Obama wins they are going to be fine. If Senator McCain wins will you be fine financially - with him planning to keep the tax structure the same as President Bush or will you be better off under Senator Obama's plan that will give those of us making under 150,000 a tax break.

So I guess tit for tat.. too bad I am not a delegate. I firmly believe Obama is the better candidate. No, he doesn't have the 'experience' that the elder McCain has but then again, at this stage in our countries demise, I am more than willing to give a younger, more energetic candidate the reigns of our country. Honestly, as much as I hate to say it (as a white male), I feel that there are a lot of Hillary supporters who won't be voting for Obama strictly because of the 'color' factor. I feel that Hillary didn't have the popular vote, she had the 'color' vote and that will carry over to the presidential race. As a New Yorker, I will not be voting for anything that has to do with Hillary Clinton.. that includes the Senate. Her empty promises to upstate New York about Jobs, income and education were just that.. empty and the typical rhetoric used by politicians to gain a seat - regardless of what lies and deceit that has to be used. You promised upstate NY 200,000 new jobs Hillary! Where are they? As a republican, I can honestly say I won't be voting for McCain. So I guess tit for tat.. too bad I am not a delegate.

He voted against funding to prevent teen and unintended pregnancies (3/17/05). He voted against public education for emergency contraception (3/17/05).

You should have left well enough alone and let Hillary lose or win without such gross manipulation and crude bias-it's left so much bitterness and disaffection.

Meg Whitman is perfect. She is accomplished--former CEO of Ebay. She helped to grow a small internet business into a global giant. She understands the needs of a small business owner. Remember , it is in small business where most new jobs are created. Meg Whitman is not unfamiliar to Americans . Many people have interacted with Ebay by either buying or selling items. Plus, by selecting a woman, McCain would show respect for all women--something Obama hasn't quite accomplished yet. Meg Whitman would be change you can believe in.

While the Democrats try to narrow their base by trashing Hillary and her supporters, by threatening Hillary with their thuggish tactics, the Republicans try to expand their base by trying to appeal to disaffected Democrats. This is how the Republicans have won through the years. And for all of their talk, Roe v Wade has survived Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. It will survive McCain. This says it all.

If this woman or any so-called Hillary clinton democrats truly believed in her and her vision, there is no way they could align themselves with the failed policies that McCain wants to continue. Simple truth is that these folks really have no beef with Obama in terms of policy because he and Clinton views are very similar. It all boils down to the fact that there are some people in this country who will just never vote for a qualified man who just happens to be black. You can hide behind whatever excuse you want to purport but it is a smoke-screen and you don't want to acknowledge or to confront your own racial bias. It is sad because true democrats who share the same vision and values would never vote for policies that are against everything that democrats stand for which is "the average american citizen". For those who say you will vote for McCain, go ahead!

Seriously though, if there are Clinton supporters who feel that Senator McCain best represents their interests and values, then they should by all means consider voting for him. However, others who are continually threatening to do so because of stubbornness, hurt feelings, perceived media bias against Senator Clinton, etc. do very little to make themselves appear as members of a conscientious or educated (I know) electorate. Especially if you feel that Clinton's primary platform was most in tune with your personal beliefs. The fact of the matter is that Senator Obama's platform is SO similar to that of Senator Clinton's. Honestly, the biggest differences that anyone was able to discern through the multitude of primary debates was their distinct personalities. Unity ticket?
