Hillary Clinton all the way for me.

I'm really happy that she won New Hampshire tonight.

Don't really care for any of the Republicans, but feel free to start another thread for any one of them.

...Where's Obama?

I like Clinton for the healthcare stuff, but I for some reason really like Obama. I need to focus in on why I like him before I vote for him. I'm reading his second book at the moment too, so that's interesting.

But anyway, I'm still thinking of voting republican for this election, even though I'm a dem. I'm from Illinois, and I'd be surprised if Obama didn't take it (never know though), but anyway I think it may be more important to vote for a good republican. In my opinion, Clinton and Obama are both good, but I'm worried which way the republican party will swing.

I switched the names (Bill Richardson/Barack Obama) and I made a mistake, and overlooked that I put Richardson twice.

Obama, but it's a little early to say for sure.

Hillary because I think Obama is going into it with the naive premise that changes can be made easily

It's a message, not a platform...I am pretty sure he doesn't think anything is going to be done easily.

Oh, such a topic.

I, personally, want a REAL liberal in office. Hence, if I were delusional, I would vote for Gravel. But he will not win either way.

The only possibility now is Hillz and Obama.

I will have to go with Clinton. My reasons are as follows:

1) Obama's health care plan is the same as Bush's. Hillary's is much more comprehensive, and provides health care for the entirety of our country.

2) Hillary talks about issues in her speeches. Obama talks about his mother, and how it was growing up. It's sad that everyone jumps on the Obama bandwagon when the only time he's ever said anything of substance is when prompted in the debates.

3) Hillary DOES have more experience. NOW. To pre-counter the "sittingbehindbillclintonisn'texperience" argument - either way, she's been a Senator for longer. And if I sat and watched someone work on Photoshop for eight years, I have a slight feeling that I would become proficient much faster than someone who has had no experience whatsoever.

4) Hillary is better with foreign relations. The large majority of world-leading countries have had females in high positions of power; Benazir Bhutto, Queen Elizabeth, the President of Ireland, the Prime Ministers of New Zealand, Finland, Mozambique - all are women. America, sadly, is one of the few remaining countries that is so sexist as to not have a woman in the utmost position of authority. We have already conquered racism, for the most part, yet sexism is still rampant. Let's work on that now.

As far as I am concerned, though, Gravel or Kucinich should have won. It's the media's fault that they had no representation. Whatever; it's too late now.
Why don't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me.

Not so much.

Actually, Hillary talks about her mom and how her mom was born before women were allowed to vote.  Speeches are meant to inspire.  He has added more about the issues after being criticized.

This is Hillary's third campaign for herself.  Barack has more legislative experience, including being a state senator.  It's not like he doesn't have any experience at all, so the photoshop comment makes no sense for the argument at hand.

You're joking, right?
