First I’d like to say, I am white, not that race matters, and I am also in the so-called middle class. I like so many people believe that it’s time for change… I feel that all the older politicians with the so-called “experience” should be fired and this includes Hilary Clinton and John McCain.

The fact that one of the super pledged delegates wants 20 million dollars for his vote shows just how much Greed and Corruption is going on within the current politicians.

It’s time for a younger group to come in, a younger group with no ties to the oil companies, no ties to the big corporations, no ties to the pharmaceutical companies, no ties to wall street.

Its time for CHANGE, a new group with compassion and empathy for the middle class, compassion for the poor rather then the current Greedy, egotistic, self-serving and close-minded politicians that are currently in office, we need to deal with the problems in the USA, our dollar has never been so low, gas has never been so high, the price of food to put on our table is beginning to become out of reach for some people, the drop out rate in our high schools have never been so high. Instead, we are over in Iran fighting an unjust war. Rather then speaking with some of these countries to bring about global peace, the current leaders choose not too. I’m sure the people of these countries would rather have peace then war. Take a look at what is going on around the world, Global warning has begun, we all need to address this issue.

Again, I believe its time for change, I believe all should be Fired and I believe this will start with Obama…

Can we please be real about the W. Va primary? Hillary Clinton is campaigning to blue collar white voters that they aren’t smart enough to look past race. As much as people would like to think that race is not an issue, that’s what Clinton is banking on right now and I think it’s offensive. Obviously our country has a problem getting past the race of individuals, but to run your presidential campaign based on the number of voters from a particular race is truly un-American. If Clinton continues to run her campaign this way and does not get the nomination, she will be the reason voter turnout in Nov. is dismal. I’m a black male and I don’t believe W. Virginians are racist. I think they’ve been steered like cattle instead of being educated so that they could make an educated decision.

LISA COULDN’T AGREE WITH YOU MORE.

Hillary Clinton’s logic is flawed. She keeps saying that Obama does not stand a chance against McCain because he can not carry some of these states. When you have two democrats running against each other, splitting all of the Democratic voters, of course you will not have enough votes to out weight McCain. Now when you take out one of the two Democrats out of the race and add all of those Democrats together, you will far exceed McCain by a landslide.

What makes Hillary think that Obama can not swing those states, she is the one that is behind on Delegate votes, by states won and the popular vote, if anybody does not have a chance it is her.

It is time for her to step down and just go away.

As to the lady that Hillary refers to “It’s not over until the lady in the pantsuit says so”, I believe that the old saying is “It’s not over until the fat lady sings”. Start singing Hillary.

Good post Lisa. I’m so tired of the media pushing this “White working class issue” all of this stuff about race/racism has over shadowed the real issues and it has divided the party.

Clinton would be vowing to push forward no matter what the results were . . . apparently she’s an expert @ rationalization. She’ll probably show up, when Obama is sworn in, with her own bible in tow ready to be sworn in.

I think that Hillary should stay in this race until the very end. No need to be bullied out by the ones who think they know it all. Obviously a lot of people still want her in and her big win in W. Va. proves that.

Hillary and her crew are fooling themselves if they think their “scorched earth” policy will not hurt the Democrats in the fall. It is time to stand aside and take the high road.

Clinton’s overwhelming victory last night in West Virginia demonstrates her appeal to the blue collar hard working American wage earner that Obama has not been able to appeal to. The Democratic party needs to look at this very closely and remember that the last liberal that attracted the same constituency as Obama does was George McGovern and he lost in a landslide.

While experience does not seem to count for much among the Obama voters, there are a great many Americans who do value it and who know that without it we could be in worse shape than we are now. Surely there is a compromise that can be reached where we can have the best of both worlds.

Response to Lisa - Obama is just like every other politician except he is a smooth talker. He has very little experience, he is an elitist and has a black agenda. Have you not read his book? You do not think Obama has ties that influence his decisions? His associations with radical persons such as Wright , Farakhan, and Ayers are very disturbing to say the least. Neither Obama or Michele for that matter are proud of their country. Now I agree that IF Obama is somehow our next president (McCain will eat him alive) then we will have changes alright but I highly doubt they will be the kind of changes that you are hoping for. Furthermore, the economy is in the toilet because of Bush and Obama is not the answer. I feel sorry for you believing in the hype that Obama brings instead of the experience Hillary has and her determination to get this country back on track. Thanks to people like you, we are going to have Bush 3 for our next President. Kudos to you!!

Everyone please, remember hilary’s remarks, a candadite only needs the american hardworking white vote to win the presidency, she left out all other ethnicitys, Puerto Rico is coming up, remember Puerto Rico, per hilary’s comment: The American hardworking white vote is the vote that counts to win the presidency, vote obama 08

After watching a number of news shows last night talk about the exit polls in West Virginia, it really maked me wonder. Over 60 % of the voters were over the age of 60 and said they could never vote for a black man. These same voters helped put George W. Bush in the White House twice………some of them can’t afford food, medicine and gas but would never vote for a black man. Hillary R. Clintons’ campaign is 20 million dollars in debt, she started this campaign with the notion that she only had to win the “big states”, she never intended to campaign after Super Tuesday and has shown that she will to do anything to win……..Yes, let’s take a really good look at West Virginia and remember what we could end up with in November.

Why are people high on this big mouth politician, Clinton, she had 8 yrs and did nothing for the working people except set up our econmy for the situation it is in today…I will switch over to the R party to vote if she is the one selected to run, at least with Obama if he can get the house and senate to be realistic, may make some worth whhile changes that will help the future working class people who has to pay for all this mess, also why will the government not go after the ceo’s and others who made millions from the housing market to pay for the or bail out the problem, not the tax pauers who work for a living?

Lisa
I agree - it’s time for change in this country.
I also hope that if Obama becomes president that people will set aside their fears and prejudices and focus on the positive changes that will take place. We NEED to look beyond skin color and focus on character.

Wow Lisa, strong opinion there. I agree, there are WAY to many under the table ties with many of these politicians and gov agencies, but I don’t know about firing them. I mean, if Obama became pres, he could actually benefit from some of these ties, which he couldn’t do at all if these ties were severed.
I do agree, these relations to large companies and corporations do need to be lessened, but in a way, don’t we need to avoid burning bridges?

Of course race will be an issue, but if we focus on the things we have in common rather than our differences Dems can rally behind Sen. Obama once he is officially announced the nominee. I am continually amazed by Dems who say if their choice is not at the top of the ticket in the GE they will vote for the Rep. Well, that is just stupid…but if you don’t care about Roe vs. Wade, the economy of the middle class, healthcare, and not to mention the justices that will be appointed during the next administration then by all means vote Rep. If you think the last 7.5 years were bad how do you think we will fare after 12 years of the same Bush policies. Wake up people this country is in trouble is this petty BS is ridiculous get over yourselves and start thinking about the bigger picture.

I hear that it is time for “Change”. The youngsters want change. Youngsters have no experience and not nearly enough knowledge to make an informed decision. They are told hey…. I want Change, they say ok, lets fight for the cause. I wonder if you asked two “Youngsters” who are supporting Sen. Obama what type of change does he stand for you will get ….change in Washington or just change. He is not going to waltz into Washington and raise his almighty hands and create change. He is not the “savior”. He is a young man who has incredible ideas…so does my 6 year old, but I cannot realistically act on them and make a difference.

Do your homework Mr., Ms., Miss and Mrs. as you are so educated, use your knowledge adn check the facts and experience of all candidates.

Hari Krishners, Kool-aid drinking, cult following, I want to be part of a cause… Be a part of the American Cause and vote for the person who can change things to help us.

“Clinton has faced calls to drop out of the race because she trails Obama in delegates won, states won and the popular vote this primary season.” ~ Sounds like someone who won’t listen to Congress. Has her own personal agenda. Doesn’t work that way, you have to work both sides of the aisle.

Clinton also now trails Obama when it comes to the support of superdelegates, and her campaign is $20 million in the red.” ~ Sounds like someone that’s going to further bankrupt the American gov’t. How are we supposed to believe she can get the U.S. out of debt if she can’t get her own campaign out of debt?

As for West Virginia, never before have I seen a more racially biased state. WV is another country as far as I’m concerned, and insignificant with only 28 total delegates. Weightless in these primaries.

You can’t count Hillary out , there’s too much at stake for her dispite her many critics she remains focused and dedicated in gaining every single vote , she has even put her money where her mouth is , would Obama do the same if the tables were turned, NOt. take into account his questionable associations, his uncertain and undefined position on the Middle East, and Israel… Would he be as committed for the sole purpose of serving his country , Not. Power trip , would probably serve as the greatest incentive.

I wish Americans would take the time to look & listen to the media opinion outside the USA. If you listened to for example the CBC or BBC you would realize the most often question discussed is “why would USA a once world leader” vote for a Pres. whose only political asset is the color of his skin!! He as no leadership experience, no world diplomacy experience, no political negotiating experience at any level etc. etc. With so many crisis’ facing the world how can the Americans honestly expect this novice to complete in the real world of politics

Personally, I do believe the country is in dire need of change and a complete house cleaning, however, the real problems run much deeper than one person can handle.

We have career politicians that turn an elected position into a cottage industry; they get elected, then swim upstream to higher elected positions, lobbying and greater pay; eventually they have been in the industry so long, they forget why they were there in the first place.

These people end up making decisions for the people of our country who do most of the work, are more or less honest, actually care about others and in many cases end up downsized with little ownership of the true american dream.

Most of our elected officials have no concept of how to run a business , how to think strategically or how to empower others to a collective good.

President Bush sends a woman of color (Rice) to the Middle East to broker peace; say what? You can’t make this up.

John McCain, years after 911, has no concept of the Sunnis, the Shiites or what all the fighting is for; I guess Charles Keating and he failed to discuss this.

Hillary? she actually shows the passion to lead and wants the gig, but just didn’t figure out soon enough, that we live in a MySpace, You Tube, Facebook, perception is reality world; her word means nothing.

Now for the Obamas; they fit perfectly into our modern tapestry; Barack goes to law school but figures that being a lawyer is hard work; it will take ages to become a partner; why not try politics?

It’s a perfect fit; he gets Oprah to get him access and he’s on his way; write a couple of memoires of accomplishments not yet achieved, get a few book advances, a house through Tony Rezko, a couple of hip suits and ties and he’s ready for Washington.

Barack is a follower while Michelle is dying to lead; Barack follows his wife to Rev. Wright then follows him for twenty years; hack move.

It’s time for change but we can not continue to throw flawed candidates at a broken problem; we just need to fix the problem.

Once we fix the system, we will get the change we sorely need.

Wolf had better Play nice in his interview this evening with HRC. Enough said on that.. Way to go Hillary, Keep on going all the way to the White House.

It seems to me the question should be asked of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton’s, “can Sen. Clinton win without the African American vote.” Much speculation and analysis have gone into attempting to determine if Sen. Obama can win without the “hard-working white American vote” in the general election. Virtually no speculation and analysis have gone into determining if Sen. Clinton can the win the general election without the African American vote? No, he cannot win without a board base of support and neither can she.

Yet, I do not see Sen. Clinton courting the African American vote in the same way Sen. Obama is courting “hard-working white voters.” Quite the contrary, maybe she believes Sen. Obama has this voting block secured or because as, the most loyal Democratic voting block, African American do not require the same consideration to secure their vote. Despite how, Sen. Clinton and former President Clinton have engaged in covert and not so covert race baiting.

It is past time for a change, it is not surprising that Hillary is not getting out of the campaign, it is no longer about the party and the people, it about her ego….If she really cares about us as democrats and Americans who are suffering because of the last years of the Bushs’.
Then she’ll start banning with the Obama team and put together a coalition that would without a doubt trumple all over the McCain run to the white house…

The erosion is occurring and it is the early sign of a car that has traveled many miles and needs a rest. A car whose tires have worn thin, from the many states it has traversed in the quest for the Democratic nomination. This car has been forced off the road only to return battered yet unyielding. A car that has made wrong turns went through pot holes, run out of gas. And has required maintenance several times to keep it running. But what is important about this car is the woman who is driving it, and that is Hillary Clinton. These days she has become adept at driving backwards because she is no longer moving forward. If there was a time to take the car off the road the time is now. But her hubris for wining the nomination goes unabated, when the signs of dead ends are all around her. What is so perplexing is she has ignored her chances based on simple math. Super delegates who have wanted to make their move are taking their time because Hillary is holding up the whole process. And those who have come over to the Obama camp have expressed their dismay at the continued reluctance of Hillary to get out! The hemorrhaging of the Democratic Party has started in the wake of Obama’s win in North Carolina and the continued declarations by Clinton to stay in the race. As each day goes by the chances of her putting this behind her and letting the party heal is affecting the Karma that was so much apart of her initial run-up to the nomination.

All this crap Hillary is doing doesn’t help the Democrats at all. Hillary is all about Hillary. Me, Me, Me. “Look at me America”! Why aren’t you voting for MEEEEEEEE. Sometimes I feel like I’m talking about my 5 year old daughter…………….actually my daughter cares about others, she is polite, and when it is time to go to bed she goes……………………………..Hillary, go to bed.

CAMPAIGN “LOAN”?

How does one “loan” money to his or her campaign? How does the “campaign” repay the loan? We’ve all been hearing about this Clinton practice, but how does it work???

Why all the fuss about Hillary’s W. Virginia big win? Most of the Primaries that Obama has won (and he has won more contest than Hillary) have been in the double digits and some have been by more than 20 points. So why all the fuss when Hillary has only beaten Obama twice by double digits. I really didn’t expect Obama to win W. Virginia. How could he win there when there are voters (primarily white voters) who state that they would not vote for him because he is Muslim. Now this man has been a christian ALL of his life and this has not only been proven by Obama’s camp, but by political researchers and the media. To me personally it shouldn’t matter if he is Christian (and i’m Christian) or Muslim as long as he is qualified. To me when voters say they aren’t voting for Obama because he is Muslim its just a excuse instead of saying “i’m not voting for Obama cause he is a Black man. I believe this country has came a long way, but still falls very short. I shake my head at my fellow racist Americans on how we can allow an “idiot” to run this country for 8yrs to almost total ruin, but not a person who is totally funded by the people and for the people. Instead my fellow Americans would rather see another politician who is backed by PACS and Special Interest Groups who offer the same “Washington 2Step” politics. This country needs to do an about face or 180 degree turn back to the right direction and to achieve this OUR country needs a real “CHANGE” in the way its leadership prioritize, assesses, and implement sound solutions. Its sad to see that some of my fellow Americans would rather have a President who allows price gouging of fuel by Oil companies, sends our sons and daughters in harms way to fight an unjust war, deplete all the financial resourses that took us from a few trillion dollars in surplus back to trillions in debt, mismanagement of Katrina, and implement a foreign policy that has made more enemies for America. Now ask yourself is your racism, prejudice, and pride worth another 4 to 8 years of the same or even worst times? Hopefully you Mr. Cooper will agree to that “Change” is needed and now.

1. Hurry up June 3rd so all this bickering can be behind us.
2. Trustworthynes, sincerity, dignity, class VERY IMPORTANT!
Hillary, sorry same old same old isn’t good enough, experience or not. Fresh young energy needed, learning i.e. on the job training not so bad. At least Obama will have an open mind and not come in with staunch hatefulness and old issues and scars from past battles. Everyone knows you mean well but some how you do not seem believeable. You seem to stir up all the wrong emotions in people thus your popular votes. Your own contiunance with negativity (blame games etc.) divides your party. It also causes Obama supporters to distance themselves further and further from ever wanting to support the democratic party should you become the nominee (not voting or voting for an independent is more likely).

We can see Edwards on the ticket with Obama. Obama and Clinton ticket NOT A GOOD THING. You are too calculating and underhanded.
Sorry, but lots of people feel that way.

Why is everyone asking about what Hillary did to Obama? All the newscasters measure there words when it comes to Obama but when it’s Hillary they pile it on. “www” What Workers Want someone that will fight for them “www”

Vonne,
You need to listen to the news. 60% in WV didn’t say they wouldn’t vote for a black person. They said they wouldn’t vote for Obama. He needs to support the American Flag.

Obama supporters and others say that we will not be voting for McCain if Hillary is not nominated. DON’T TAKE A CHANCE those that say they will support McCain if Hillary

i do not think this country is ready for a black canadate who is associtating with people like wright, aires,farrakon?. do you

Why is it so many commentators are unwilling to believe Senator Clinton supporters when they are saying that they will not vote for, nor financially support, Senator Obama, especially if Senator Clinton is not on the ticket? I am one of those upper middle-class,middle age, college educated women who support Senator Clinton who will not vote for Senator Obama in November. Don’t tell me that I will “come home” in November. I could be wrong but I know I am not likely to change this opinion-aren’t women comically known for their long memories?

Why is it that more and more TV pundits who have given Obama a free ride are now saying that he does not have experience in many aspects of running the government. (We have already had nearly eight years of someone like that). Obama is an empty suit and the change that he talks about has never been defined in any his sermons.

We will be voting for McCain if Hillary does not get the nomination. My son, a republican had decided to vote for Hillary, in fact he voted for her in the primary. But, now he says that he will be voting for McCain. Obama does not have the experience that our next president needs because of all the problems our country is facing. I will be voting for McCain. In fact right after June 3, 2008 I will become a republican to be reay for the general election. My family and friends, supporters of Hillary, will be votinf for McCain. It is not that we don’t like Obama. Two reasons we are voting for McCain. One is that Obama does not have experience and because of the people he has associated for twenty or more years. We have a saying in spanish. “dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres”. something like “birds of a feather flock together. That simple. Two reason. We don’t like what Howard Dean, DNC chairman, Pelosi, Ted Kenndey and their likes have done to Hillary. I also stopped watching MSNBC because they sound just what they are “elite”. Hillary supporters, please join me with a revolt against the DNC and vote for McCain. No, I have never been a republican.

ps…..when was the last time in a presidential primary that a candidate has been expected to drop out of the race a day after an overwhelming victory!!??? the press is so anti-hillary, it is so obvious???? could it be that she is a woman in a “mans” world???? if barack wants the democrats 2 be victorious why doesn’t HE drop out??!!

why is it every night, someone is still bringing up the Rev. Wright ?
If a candiate is known by the pastor they keep, why is it no one has
mentioned the fact that the Clintons former pastor, Rev Procanick, was convicted earlier this year for child molestation?
Why is it no one mentioned the fact that during the Monica Lewinsky
scandal, that the Rev. Wright was an invited guest to the White
House, as a supporter to President Clinton ?
Why should the Clintons be treated any different than Barack?

It is clear to me that she knows it is over, she is just staying in for the good of the party…cleaning up the mess she made.

Come on Maggie, Cynthia and Annie Kate - you know Barack Obama is the best presidential candidate this country has seen in decades.
You don’t get to be head of any law review, much less the Harvard Law Review, unless you are really something special, and unless you are a J.D., don’t even try to dispute me on that.

West Virginia voted overwhelmingly for Clinton - I wonder why? John McCain called Clinton to congratulate her on her West Virginia victory but never once called Obama to congratulate him on any of his tremendous wins - I wonder why?

Hillary is my soror, so I know how well versed and tenacious she is. I supported my soror in my state caucus but when she and Bill started playing the race card - oh well, what would I know girls - I’m just another black Ivy Leaguer like Barack.

I am appalled at what I hear. I was watching the CNN and heard that many would not vote for Barack Obama if he were the nominee. Why? if Hillary wins I think those same folks would want the support. I have served my country and retired from service. I never thought I would see that race is still an issue versus qualifications and ability to do the job. I had to re-think whether this is the same copuntry I have served for over half of my life.

I have not decided on who will get my vote. I am trained in politcal science both undergraduate and graduate level. Iam so concerned about this election process based on whatI hear that I have had the thought of maybe not voting. Why not McCain. At least there is not this type of dialog in their party about race….yet.

I am white, I am educated, I am for Clinton.

lydia you are right. i have voted democrat my whole life-starting with george mcgovern in 1972. never thought i would ever vote for a republican for president. if obama does not drop out he will be giving the republicans another presidential victory. all the dems i know will be voting for him over BO. we can do this with a good conscience since we have great respect for john mccain. he has always been able to work on both sides of the aisle-

I was a Clinton supporter. However, the very negative way she has run her campaign using racism to divide truely turned me against her. It turns out she is not the womam I thought she was and if she wins I will not vote for her. I am a democrate, but if she wins I will not go to the polls and my husband said he will vote for McCain.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter. I think she is capable, smart, and strong and would be a wonderful leader for America. If she does not win the nomination which I still beleive she will, I would not vote for Obama even if her, Chelsea and Bill came and knoked on my door. Hillary would only be doing what she would have to do politically for her party. I, on the other hand, will vote my concience. I am not a superdelegate I am a private citizen. I will not be race baited like the media has been as well as the supdelegates and people like John Edwards.

Hi Anderson,
You had a really good show tonight, but I have to be just a little critical on how you guys are handling the Obama/Clinton stories. You showed Hillary’s speech about four times, mentioned how Edwards spoke better for Hillary than Obama, compared Obama to a monkey on a t-shirt and then blamed it on the racist who came up with the idea, and profiled Bill holding a baby while telling Obama to go change a baby’s diaper. Compare the coverage for Obama to Clinton and you guys are definitely Clinton supporters. Of course you guys have got to be for somebody. No problem. The rub is that your message seems to be presented underhandedly and oftimes not too objective.

If Hillary doesn’t get the nomination, I and my family are all voting for McCain. Obama is not the right choice for America right now. He is inexperienced and he has not proven himself ‘worthy’ of the highest chair in our land. His associations are disturbing and bring back memories of the 1960s liberalism which was polarizing and brought us Nixon, Ford & Reagan. Obama is idealistic but lacks any big ideas to create solutions to our present needs. Hillary is the sane choice for America, she’s not too liberal, not too right, she’s a centrist and she worthy of the chair after all that she has accomplished and has put up with in her political career. The reason the republicans aren’t so thrilled with McCain, is because he is a centrist too, not to much of a right wingnut, and not too liberal. If Hillary doesn’t get the nomination, McCain will win the election as many Hillary supporters will not vote for Obama. End of story.

I wonder why news media broadcasters say the vote in West Virginia is evidence that RACE is a part of the campaign. With 90% of African Americans voting for Obama—-was there ever a question that RACE was a factor??

Both Democratic candidates are great individuals. However, if chosen on experience and accomplishments in public office, it is obvious that the best candidate for the highest position in our Government is Senator Hillary Clinton.

I am praying that she wins in spite of the tremendous obstacles ahead of her. What ever the outcome, I support her and admire her for her efforts.

Dorothy-Madison, WI

We keep bringing up Rev. Wright because it does matter. Obama stayed for 20 years. Was he sleeoping or did he just say he was a member because it was the church to be in if you want to move up in Chicago politics? You don’t go to a church for 20 years if you don’t buy what they’re selling. It’s all about judgement. As a life-long dem, I’ll vote for McCain. I am after all a “typical white person”, what an insult that was, oh yeah I’m bitter too.
Mary S.D

I am very doubtful if Obama would be so popular if he were a black
woman instead of a black man. In that case I think people would be
saying she does not have enough experience. The people she is
associated with are too radical. She is not ready. It would not matter
that a black woman Obama was inspirational.
Sexism in the U.S. is far more prevalant than racism.
Hillary is the best candidate and the one who can beat McCain in the
general election.
I will not vote for Obama in the general election.

West Virgina showed america that we have a tremendous race problem in this country.
22% of the voters who voted for clinton admitted that their choice was influenced by race.
I wonder how many more of her white collar voters are willing to be honest and admit that they are also influenced by race.
I was also very surprised that Obama got more than 2 votes there

BEWARE……the same group (white working class males) would also NEVER vote for a woman for President.

If Senator Clinton is so passionately supported by her constituency, why is her campaign 20 million in the red ? Show me the money !

I am from New York and was a BIG Clinton supporter but as the race went on I listened and watch Senator Obama speak and was drawn to him.
I think the primary worked in Obama’s favor because like myself hardly anyone know who he was but as the primary went on we got to know and respect him as a candidate.
I did not vote in the primary and I know quiet a few people that didn’t either but most people I talk to have changed their mind about Senator Clinton and cant wait to vote for Senator Obama and no one else.
My boyfriend who has just registered to vote is so enthusiastic about voting for Senator Obama in the general election.

Respond to Cynthia in Florida.
I would like for you to explain to me Senator Clinton’s Experience. Has she balance a budget. Has she personally dealth with world crisis. Not because her husband did it, that doesn’t mean she has experience doing it. Hillary is not Bil. If your husband is a surgeon does that make you an expert surgeon. Senator Clinton can bearly raise money for her champain much more to run a country in crisis. I don’t want this country to be in furthur debt like her champain.

How can you say Senator Obama has a black agenda do you forget that he was raised by his single WHITE mother. You sound like one of those 22% in West Virgina that said race played a role in their voting choice. Don’t let the color of his skin fool you. With a slight change in his DNA he could have been white too.

Do you think that with the culture and beliefs of Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East that look down on women do you think they would listen or respect the opinions of Senator Clinton, keeping in mind that they control the oil fields. I am not going to mention her gas tax proposal it speaks for itself.

Don’t be affraid of change it is new and inventive ideas of young and inventive people that got us as far as we are in technology, medicine and farming just to name a few.

The white house need the change of a new and inventive person to get us out of the crisis we are in. To me Obama signifies OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW.

Respond to Lydia.
You and your son could go ahead and vote for McCain but i am telling you this. i am not prepared to pay $6 for milk, $5 for gas and the list could go on. Well thanks to your son we had to deal with Bush for 8 years wish tells me a lot about his knowlegde of politics.

But i will tell you this people said the same things about Bill Clinton he is young not enough experience to run the country but look what he did when he got into office he balanced the budget and left a surplus which is wife had nothing to do with.

Senator McCain reminds me of my Dad who was an accountant. and business owner. In his day accounting was done by hand but nowadays everything is done by a computer. My dad refused to learn how to use the computer and was still doing everything by hand. This would take him days eventually his business ran into the ground because he was afraid of change. Yes he has experience but not for the changing times. He was a great accountant in his day. That is how I see Senator McCain.

My question to you and eveyone out there is Does McCain have the experience to handle all the changes that this nation has undergone. Does he have the wit to come up with fresh new ideas of how to get this country back on tract. What are his realistic and attainable plans for American to decrease their dependency on foreign oil and how are we going to pay off our HUGE debt to China.
