Obama however, does have experience. He has a type of experience which Americans need. His history in public service supports his position as a change leader. He is not a copycat like the Clintons, who will say anything and do anything to get into office...Now if Richardson is not running for VP, he should have been out their defending his ownership for the words Experience and Change.

People don't support Hillary because of her message (which is weak and pandering) they support her because she is a white woman! Obama's message is way stronger and promotes change but like the history in this country white American women will toss him back in the field when all is done.

BTW it was on the backs of black people that lead the way for change in this country so white women and everyone else could get equal rights. Thanks for not giving Obama a fair shot white women! I guess you still benefit from the oppression of black men.

If Obama/Edwards is just as good as Clinton why not move on to someone without the baggage? I'm not going to repost my thoughts from yesterday on all of the issues she lags behind in. When I was in school, if two kids were fighting, BOTH were removed as not to stir up the other kids. In this case, it's Hillary and the Repubs (Rove, Bush and the gang). All of my Rep friends generally have a blasé response to all of the Dem candidates but Hillary (foaming at the mouth).

Forget my questions above. Riddle me this my fellow blogers: If part of the Dems chances of winning the white house is a low Repub turnout? Why would you nominate someone who virtually guarantee a high Repub turnout possibly losing another tight election?

When voters say they want change, I don't think they mean a return to 1992 which is what Senator Clinton seems to be offering--at least this is what I have gathered from listening to her on the campaign trail. She's given us very little detail with regards to her plans or approach to specific issues, and I don't want to base my vote on rhetoric. I'm not saying Senator Clinton couldn't be a good candidate, but she needs to do a better job of explaining what it is that she brings to the table.

someone didn't read their history books correctly. The civil war was not about freeing slaves it was about saving the union. The emancipation proclamation freed slaves in the south after the south had already succeeded from the union and had it's own government. Freeing the slaves was a by product of the war and the north exacting its revenge on the south. Who knows what would of happen if Lincoln lived, he never thought blacks could be interegrated into white society and was a backer of sending the slaves back to africa.

As far as the suffergate movement only helped women get the vote, no access to higher educaton or jobs- the civil rights movement and affirmative action help women far more the women movement.

Senator Clinton is not authentic. She can take many positions on same issue depending on audience and will defend all of them. For last few days she is talking about change ONLY because she wants to show the people that there is not much difference between her and Senator Obama on change and on the top she is more experienced. She is even using Obama's words/phrases in her new stump in a planned way just to do that. Well that also says she knows she is not inspiring. Her own words does not resonate with people. She has to steal phrases/words from Richardson or Obama to get her point across.

35 years of experience of doing what Mrs Clinton? What did you achieve other than "still standing after 15 years of right wing attack machine". Why it matters to American people if you have fallen or still standing? What matters is what you achieved in all those 35 years. That 35 years include wife of Arkansas gov for 8/9 yrs and first lady for 8 yrs. These are not political posts or elected office. There was no way you could be a NY senator if you were not a 1st lady or had a last name of Clinton. Please support your claim of experience and strength and change with specific example. If you don't have the right judgement, can't provide the right direction to the country in difficult time like on decision of going to Iraq, then what your strength or experience worth anyway? Just campaign rhetoric, slogan is not enough conceal the fact that you have no significant achievement. This time it will be difficult to make american people fool like Bush did.

I think the idea of a Clinton/Obama ticket is all part of the bogus "Barack is too inexperienced" argument. Obviously, the Clintonistas know he's the biggest threat to her winning the nomination. He’s a better candidate and they can’t win on substance, so they need a non-specific reason to convince people that he needs more experience to help get him out of the way, preferably without attacking him too much and alienating too many of his supporters. Trying to paint him as needing more time and then having him as VP serves their campaign purposes and gets him the experience he supposedly lacks.

I still think Obama would refuse if asked to be the VP for Hillary, but I'm not fully convinced she would even ask him. After all, she would have spent the whole primary campaign telling everyone he's not ready, so how could she subsequently turn around and tell everyone he is ready to be "a heartbeat away" from the Presidency?

Why, a flip-flop like that could be a disast......okay, wait a minute, hold on. I just remembered something. We are talking about Hillary Clinton here, so I guess it is very likely she would ask him.

The fact that there are a lot of Clinton supporters saying both that Barack is too inexperienced, but also that he would be a great VP choice for Hillary helps to illustrate how little thought they are putting into their choice of candidate.

Wake up, people!! Barack Obama is a superior candidate to Hillary Clinton in every way if you just compare their respective records. What documented legislative successes has Clinton had? Why is she hiding her records from her first lady days yet claiming that same time period as part of her experience? If she is so “strong,” why has she not come out with a health care plan or written an op-ed about a controversial topic such as Cuba or refused to take the PAC money as Barack Obama has done?

Why will she not publicly state what her foreign policy will be as Barack Obama has done? Why will she not release her list of earmarks as Barack Obama has done? Point after point, policy after policy, experience after experience, Barack Obama is a vastly better candidate with the experience, strength and character to be a great president.

In any event, if the Democratic party is foolish enough to send the junior senator from New York to the general election, I am tempted to just stay home on election day, but that would increase the chance of a Clinton victory, so I would have to, instead, vote for whoever the Republican is. Unless, of course, Barack runs as an independent.

But enough about the nightmare scenario, I prefer to envision a day when President Obama recalls with pride how his grassroots support and tireless advocacy for the American people resulted in his landslide victory in the 2008 presidential election.

RH from Oregon I apologies if I offended you with my remarks earlier.

The true civil rights movement actually started with freed slaves during the late 1700's. Women’s suffrage moment is date back to the early 1820 or so. Do I believe there where and are still good white people who fight for the freedom of all… OF COURSE! If it weren’t for the blood spilled the promise of this country would have never seen the light of day. BUT, it was the mobilization of the civil rights movement in the south in the early to mid 20th century that opened the door for ALL PEOPLE in this country. There is no denying it! As for the Civil War, it was the result of the Union splitting not for the freedom of blacks. Where their good white male soldiers who fought for freedom of blacks… well Col. Robert Gould Shaw and his family are heroes to me.

The point of my post was I don't believe some white women are giving Obama a fair shot. Just like it would be wrong to vote for Obama because he is black. It is wrong to vote for Hillary because she is a woman. Voting should be based on the candidate’s deeds.

To me Obama would make a wonderful president. I'd vote for him if he were a blue alien from Mars with one eye because he has demonstrated his conviction to equality, he has great experience and most of all he is honest!
