As for whether the country is ready for a balck or woman President. I think we are. But, that does not mean the Country wants THIS black, or THIS woman. Not voting for Obama or Hillary does NOT mean that I am opposed to blacks or women in general; just these specific ones. I object to the subtle argument that anyone not voting for Hillary hates women, and anyone who does not vote for Obama hates blacks. By that reasoning half og the democrat party are racists!
Obama has mastered the art of not saying anything. Everyone knows he wants change, but I don't think anyone has an idea of what change he will bring. I wish he would articulate his various positions, but so far, all I know is that he is articulate and good looking.

You are forgetting the "Kennedy Factor" Both Obama and Edwards are good looking haicuts in a sharp suit. That was all Kennedy needed to beat Nixon. If you remember the famous TV debate between JFK and RMN Kennedy 'won' by looking good on camera not by what he said.

I am afraid of both Obama and Edwards in that respect. Neither of them are experienced and both of them just blow whatever hot air that particular audience is expecting to hear.

Hillary on the other hand (isn't it amzing that both Hillary and Obama are one name people like Cher and Maddona?) has a LOT of negatives following her around. She is just not a likable person and that counts a lot these days. She also has tons of baggage from her past dragging bejhind her. As somebody who voted against her in two NY Senate elections I can tell yo uthat she has done NOTHING for NY in either of her terms. She has been setting herself up to run for President since 1999. She also seems to think she in entitled to ascend to the Presidency. They should use "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" as her campaign theme song as she feels she is Eva Peron...

On the Republican side, Only Rudy (another one name person) has the ability to beat Obama or Hillary in the general election but he seems to have no support from the party faithful in the primaries. We will see what happens on Super Tuesday but his campaign might be over by next month. I do not think Thomson, Rommney or McCain will defeat an energized Democratic party. Of the Reps running I would love to see Ron Paul win, but he is a dead horse.

This whole election is making me sick. I think is really is time for a new party to be formed, one that really represents THE PEOPLE's INTERESTS.
