Donate to Obama
Super Tuesdays results were anything but decisive for either Democratic candidate. However, Senator Obama won the most states and the most delgates. The next several contests favor Obama, and if he can make a big push we will have a new face of leadership in America, after 28 years of Clintons and Bushes in the White House.
I’ve donated twice and will likely do so again. I encourage you to as well. Think about what you would use the money that could make a small contribution for: movies, beer, dinner etc. Instead, help shape the future of your country:
Go to Barack Obama’s site to donate today.

No, I’d prefer that we actually win the White House in November. John McCain would THUMP Barack Obama. While Obama is an exciting talker, he’s just that: hot air. The guy has no resume. McCain will be tough to beat by either Obama or Clinton, but at least Clinton is tested nationally and has the resume.

@Glen
I have to say, a 72 year old who wants to stay in Iraq for “100 years” would make an interesting contrast to Obama. McCain has also talked up going to Iran (”Bomb, Bomb, Bomb–Bomb, Bomb Iran!”). I think this would be a contrast Democrats would enjoy.
Incidentally, what’s this Hillary resume I always hear about? From what I understand she has been in the senate 4 more years than Obama, and did not hold any official position in the decade before that. I’m not sure if her role in the health care debacle was official or not, but either way, that’s not helping.

Hehe,
It’s already Barack Hussein Obama….
The most boring part about Hilary winning would be that we’ve already heard all the bad stuff about the Clinton’s and we would have to relive it all: some real estate stuff, a horribly failed health care plan, and a philandering husband (word on the street is that Hilary is scoping out Chippendale’s nationwide for her interns). I don’t completely doubt that Hilary lacks all shame and has pulled out all the stops in smearing her opponent, but surely Obama has engaged in more youthful indiscretions than recreational drug use and representing slum lords. I vote for Obama, because only the Republicans have the cojones to dip lower than Hilary in shameless political ads.

@Glen:
McCain’s ability to defeat Obama would depend alot of who the party choses to be his running mate. If Huckabee The Holy is chosen, Obama stands a good chance. Also, if Bloomberg runs as an independent, business people would probably choose him over both, but most of Wall St. and board rooms are Republican, which helps Obama.
Hillary is just a dried up bitter American B*&(E& representing division and conflict.
I know quite a few hard core liberals that would vote for McCain rather than see Shrillary in the White House.

Why bother? The Democratic Party obviously doesn’t trust its own party members and has set it all up so that the superdelegates will end up deciding it all anyway. Hell, it would probably be more honest for them to just pull the plug on the primaries right now and just let the superdelegates go at it right away. That would make those who actually thought their vote might count get over more of their anger by election time.

Oh, Dan, you cynical guy. Mark my words: Obama will pull it out before the convention. He will sweep or nearly sweep through to the Texas vote and then take either Texas or Ohio, making it impossible for Hillary to fight on without looking like a spoiled sport. In fact, as long as Obama wins Virginia today, I’ll bet you a drink for your next time out here that he sweeps everything (including the rest of the day’s voting) until Texas, and then wins either Texas or Ohio.
All you need to win is one Hillary win this month or a Texas/Ohio sweep.
And I saw your state went overwhelming for Obama over the weekend. I suspect you are too jaded to have caucus on either side though.

Josh,
Sorry, I don’t trust Obama. After all, he wouldn’t have even been a senator if Jack Ryan wasn’t such a screw-up. I just have creepy feelings about this guy, if nothing else just based on the cult following. Besides, I there isn’t anyone who would divde the country more than it already is. He is just too freaking liberal (actually, the most liberal in the Senate, which takes tons of effort). Of course, McCain is quite a liberal, even though so many try to play him as a conservative. Let me be the first to say, all the candidates this year suck. Man, is this the best the U.S. can produce? Disgusting.

RIck, the US needs someone to believe in. The Clintons are just the Bush family redux.
You sound pretty conservative, who would your pick be? Romney? Huckabee (talk about a divisive figure!)?

nhyrc,
To be honest, I don’t know. Regarding your point of someone to believe in, that would have to be Obama (for the people’s love of someone who is more pop-culture than substance). I guess it is a choice between foreign policy or internal matters. I tend to lean towards foreign policy, as that sets the stage for the future of internal policy. On the other hand, how do other countries view their foreign policy with the U.S., how will they respect Obama. I guess on that part, other countries would rather not deal with Bush or Clinton (though Bill was a hero here in China) and would love Obama. It is a sad situation. I am an undecided because I can’t make up my mind after weighing it all, not like the majority of undecideds who are waiting for the next great soundbyte (with no substance) before jumping on the bandwagon. I can’t even think of a good write-in. Of all the campaigns, Obama looks the most promising, though I need to know more about him (nobody really knows about him, but seem to be relying on pure emotion). Right now, I feel Obama is a demagogue (with an extra abundance of charisma). Of course, Bush proved what happens when you surround yourself with the wrong elements, so I am curious what an Obama administration would look like. I can get a feel for what a McCain cabinet would be like (not as bad as Bush), but that may be enough to push Obama way up on my scale.
R.S.

Clinton was a hero in China because of all the tech and military knowledge he gave to it.
Foreign policy is important, but Bush focused alot on foreign policy and neglected domestic policy, trying to “privatize” everything. It doesn’t work that way, especially when bridges are falling down. And for all of the “experience” Hillary is claiming, she rode on Bill’s coattails for 8 years, visiting lots of people but not making policy decisions (at least not publicly, and if her degree of private input was significant, we know who else to blame our Africa and China policy on).
In short, we really can’t do any worse and at least Obama is not trying to pit one group of Americans against another to win votes. BTW he is a University of Chicago graduate, so that is where alot of his economic and foreign policy influence would come from.

@Nan
Obama went to Columbia undergrad, Harvard grad.
Not U of Chicago.
