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. Respond to Lydia.

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 Cynthia in Florida.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Hi Anderson,
