Who will win the Democratic side ?

His momentum is astounding. The rest of February looks good. It's gonna be close, but I think he'll pull it off in the end.

The question that really comes up here is how will Obama perform on the 5th when so many states hold their elections. Right now it looks like Hillary is holding decent leads in most of the states, especially the big ones. However Obama has some momentum going for him, his did better then expected in Nevada and also took South Carolina by a huge margain. Now he is also has the support of Ted Kennedy which will be useful in helping to shore up some of the areas that he is weaker in. I think Obama has answered the biggest question that people had with him, can he win, with his Iowa victory, and I think that he will continue to gain momentum all the way up to super tuesday where he'll manage to pull off the victory and go from there. I think he'll also get helped out by Edwards, should the convention start with no person holding a majority I think Edwards will try and work something out to give his delegetes to Obama which should push him over the edge. This is going to the first primary in quite some time where it comes down to delegetes and convincing the superdelegetes to vote for you, but I think that Obama will be able to pull though in the end.

Yeah, it's probably true that Obama's team is using the same tactics as the "scumbags" of D.C.

Aside from that, it would be amazing to have a minority as the President of U.S. He's the son of an immigrant (which makes him most attractive to me, as I am also the son of an immigrant. and yeah he's good looking..but so am I. So, we have a lot in common we're kind of bff's).


Hilary has too much to protect, and Obama not much to lose. If experience is your concern, look no further than the current resident of 1600 Penn. Ave. He got in there, God knows how. If you're thinking "hey, what about Edwards and Kucinich. Don't forget about them!" please forget about them. Edwards claims he's for the middle class, wears jeans and an unbuttoned shirt, but pays more than my sister and mother do for their haircuts.

Sadly, America still hates minorities. We shall see what happens, though. Obama '08!!!! or does the apostrophe go after the 08?

Dear everyone, I wrote a lot. But I wouldn’t have done so if I didn’t think you would find it interesting and I think it’s important to know.
Everyone says Obama can bring change to the country. Why? His political views are similar to his democratic adversary Mrs. Clinton. Some people believe that he is above the scum workings of the political system because he is young, but after reading articles from the BBC he has campaign managers have been using some of the same tricks as in other campaigns. For example, all those homemade signs that people hold up saying how much they LOVE Obama, well those are made and distributed by the Obama campaign themselves. Pretty sneaky.

In light of all this and of all my criticism, I still HOPE/PRAY that Obama wins the primary’s. Obama did oppose the war from the start, PROPS DOG. He also said he was going to meet and talk to hostile world leaders in his first year in office. Also I read an article written by a man named Andrew Sullivan that made some valid points. When dealing with a war against radical Islam, “A brown-skinned man whose father was an African, who grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, who attended a majority-Muslim school as a boy, is now the alleged enemy. If you wanted the crudest but most effective weapon against the demonization of American that fuels Islamist ideology, Obama’s face get’s close. It proves them wrong about what America is in no way words can.” (Sullivan). Very well put. Also he seems to have let the babyboom generation pass him by and all its complexities. But I do know that Hilary is still the babyboom generations lapdog. I know you can tell that she is rigid, afraid of the right wing. She’ll never make any drastic decisions, Obama is free from this. But she did offer a good cry after the Iowa primaries so who knows.

p.s. Obama is straight sexy. If I was a girl I’d totally hit that. I hope he wins.

Yes. 100% true in my opinion as well.

While I HOPE Obama gets the nomination, it's not looking too good for him right now (unless he can convince Edwards to drop out, or, do what Kucinich did - convince Edwards to give Obama votes in states where Edwards clearly won't win). It looks like Clinton will get the nomination right now.

While I wholeheartedly support Obama and hopes he wins the primary for many reasons, I don't think he's going to. I think Obama SHOULD get the nod. However, I think Hillary WILL. I'm an Obama guy through and through, but I could get behind Hillary for the presidency if she wins. Unfortunately, many independents and republicans couldn't under any circumstances. I really hope I'm wrong here.

Obama. I think that Obama should get the nod. I am a Republican and I like this guy alot. For some reason, Hillary just gets under my skin.
