Obama is the 99th senior most in the senate and is not experienced enough for the presidency. Other than running his own campaign, he has not taken up any major responsibilities. I agree with the sticker that reads No Osama, NO Obama, NO Chelsia's Mama!

It's not too late democrats! Get Hillary on the ballot and up for official nomination in Denver so the dems can vote her in. Hillary can beat McCain! I do not want McCain, I want Hillary. So, please don't give me the media created fraud Obama! Dem party is forcing many Hill dems to vote for McCain, the enemy we know instead of the one we don't: Obama.

God, I hope so! I still can't believe that the Democrats are going to have that flip-flopper Obama as the standard bearer.
McCain is looking better and better.

As a former Hillary supporter I have been researching both candidates. The more I learn about Obama, the less I like him. You have a feeling you can't predict what he will do if elected. He has made 180 degree turns on the important issues in the last few weeks and consistantly breaks his promises. This, in addition to his 133 times voting present, makes me wonder if he doesn't want us to know how he would govern. The more I learn about McCain, the more I respect him. He is not afraid to buck the system to do what he believes is right. We hear about Obama being against the war, but he constantly voted to fund it and is now wiggling on ending it as pledged. McCains surge strategy has done more to help end this war than Obama. I just heard McCain speak today about education to the NAACP, and as an educator, I feel his platform is more progressive and will help improve the system much more than Obama's. Education is the key to America's future.
Some here are trying to blame racism for Obama's falling poll numbers, do they think people just discovered the color of his skin? That's absurd. I think people are losing their allusions, which explains the growing PUMA movement.

The Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll for today, Wednesday, July 16, says Hillary does a bit better than Obama against McCain! Hahahaha. She suspended her campaign and she is STILL beating Obama against McCain. The DNC really blew it this time, 'selecting' Obama as their anointed one.
Hillary had it right when she said she brings a lifetime of experience to the race. . . Obama brings a speech.
It's not too late, superdelegates. Vote your conscience at the convention in Denver. Hillary is STILL the one who can beat John McCain in November. I WANT A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!

After losing 5 of the last 7 elections there was a movement within the party to change that. Donna Brazille, in 2004 wrote,"Perhaps it's time to tap into the "Obama" factor: Scour statehouses for young, energetic, inspiring, and emerging leaders with the ability to connect the head and heart. Too many of the old Democratic guard have stayed in Washington, D.C., too long to fully recognize how most Americans live their lives."
This new philosphy however has left out the core Democratic principle many voter's have stood for and why they vote Democrat. The risk is high and time will tell if it will pay off. I don't think it will.

An Obama/Clinton ticket may appeal to some of her shallower supporters (but would they really show up to vote for it?)
However, many of her stronger supporters are horrified by the idea, as shown by reactions in blogs such as bitterpoliticz, blog.pumapac.org, etc, and petitions at pumaparty.com/nohillaryvp
