Dee, Indianapolis, IN — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 02:32:51 GMT

How can we draw any inferences to the campaign of any Democratice candidates when 70% of the precincts only amounts to 1600 voters. The Republican caucuses have 45,000 voters - certainly enough to make some judgements. I find it hard to extrapolate the success of any candidates campaign on the basis of so little input.

Five days and counting

If he wins NH and SC it's 'three strikes and your out' for Slick Hillary !

70% of caucus go-ers voted AGAINST HILLARY !!

Who's 'inevitable' ?

To GB above,
^^^
The dynamics of the caucus will be dissected tommorrow but if it is true that Obama brought in a good portion of republicans and indys, then I beg to disagree with you.
There is no way we are going to win with just democrats...which is what u get with HRC. Only JRE and Obama bring anything apart from dems to the table.
Even if Obama loses the nomination, he already has a legacy that will shine on forever...when last did anyone bring repubs and indies to the party the way the results tonight appear to indicate.
And my last word is: ALL HAILL ANN SELZER AND THE DMR POLL.

Obama wins

Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 02:45:16 GMT

I agree, Jeff, that Obama has the best shot in the general election. But not because of the polls. I think those polls this far out are pretty meaningless. But analytically, he's likable and he would enter without a reputation for being a partisan attack dog, nor lacking authenticity. He won't energize the GOP nearly as much as Clinton would. Plus we've already seen strong indication that independents will support him.

Shtuey — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 03:38:21 GMT

I must have hit my head on the toilet and woke up in an alternative universe where people think a completely inexperienced, almost one term Senator is capable of leading the United States out of the mess that King George is leaving behind here, and around the world (hmmm...same resume as Edwards, and Clinton, though Clinton got reelected, and did get to pick out the china pattern for the White House). The chair of the European subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (Obama) has not even seen fit to convene it once! No foreign policy experience, no executive experience, a virtually non-existant voting record as a state rep ("present" is not a vote), a desire to rekindle the radioactive fires of nuclear power in America...Karl Rove did you type all these pro Obama responses? You are one clever dude. With any luck Bill Richardson will make a showing in New Hampshire and we can put the boy-man from Illinois to bed. In 8 years, if he has proven himself an effective leader in the Senate, then I'll think better of him. Folks, being a good lookin' idealistic guy who gave a good speech and the '04 convention does not qualify anyone to be President; not at this time in history anyway. If you want change then elect someone who can bring it; someone who has brought change to his home state as Governor: Bill Richardson. A two term governor, Secretary of Energy, Ambassador to the UN, a seven term Congressman, a five time Nobel Prize nominee. He's raised the minimum wage in his state, brought health care to every child in New Mexico 5 and younger, has passed an energy program reducing NM's greenhouse emissions, stimulated a stagnant economy, helped convince the North Koreans to shut down their nuclear reactor while all Bush did was rattle sabres...I could go on. I'll take that resume over Obama any day. Don't throw America down the tubes on good looks and platitudes. Richardson for President!

"Not me. Not me." The media is skewing this thing people. There is no democratic process in this country - witness George Bush - and certainly no place for an intelligent, strong, disciplined woman who can make men cry with how smart she is. That's the real kicker and they can't take it.

Ever since her senatorial campaign when I heard her say "but 'ay, this is New York," I've waited with bated breath for her next adaptation. As I heard her addressing Iowa she sounded strangely mid-western and down to earth. What's next, Hillary, a speech thanking the academy? BTW, I'm another old baby boomer who is ready for change. Go Barack.

Yes, what you have done truely marks the beginning of the next 100 years. If Barack should become the next president your state, and her people, will appear right along with him in the annals of our country's history. What faith! What hope! I feel the burdens of a divided country on the brink of unity.

UH...Hate to tell you this, Rick, but if Obama was born before 1964 and after 1945 then he is a baby boomer. So unless BO is younger than 42 or older than 63 then he is a boomer! BTW, Chris Matthews licks Obamas booty each and every night. So he is not your most objective source.

Rick and Kit,
I'm assuming when you say the Baby Boomers had their chance, you're referring to the two B.B. Presidents, Bill Clinton and George Bush, and not the voters of that generation.
The polical philosophy of the Baby Boomer generation is very varied, but we are, after all, the generation that supported, and/or marched with M.L.King Jr., demonstrated against Viet Nam, refused induction into the draft, and watched as three of our political heroes were assasinated. We're still politically involved, and our opinions on the war, the economy, the government, and the courage of our generation to recognize the need for and bring about change began long before before this presidential initiative. I campaigned for Bobby Kennedy in NY in 1967, and attended one of the earliest fund raisers for Barak Obama in Virginia forty years later. It's a frame of mind, not a generational thing.

An Obama/Wesley Clark ticket or A Hillary/Edwards ticket--Either way the Dems have this former Republican/Independant's Vote--Time for each of us to unite and take back/return this great nation to it's former glory---Our respect and world wide image must be restored from years of Bush/Cheney/Rove disgrace--Let's unite to again be the most admired and respected country on this planet--U.S.A.---0

Im a diehard Democrat, but an Obama(Osama) win, the Republicans will win in Nov, 2008. My Democratic choice is Hillary. Huckabee would be nice for the Republicans.

Im shocked that Obama won. However, Im thrilled that democrats came out to show there opposition to the meglomaniac GOP president in place now. It was a good night for America. The turnout shows that there will be change. Not keen on obama though..

Yeah, people like you just don't want to move on. You just want to live in the past. I think it's people like you who resort to being radicals, using violence when everyone else seems to want to move towards a progressive period. Of course you have the right to support whom ever you want. You are entitled to not want to support Senator Obama but what's it with the name calling? On a day like this, you could at least congratulate him and move on to the next stage. Goodness gracious, what does it take to move you people? So I guess it's all about you and your own interests, huh? Can you at least understand that a tiny white state had started something that could make history? Obama could prove to be a bust. However that begs the question in my opinion. I think it's all about a country that's tired of the bickering, tearing down, and bitter partisanship. What will you do if those young folks are for real? Are you going to move away? Are you going to use violence to curb the progress? Will you accept any change at all unless it comes your way?
