I think Obama will get it. I'm still on the fence. I like Hillary but since Oprah got on his bandwagon and told everyone she supports him, it seems he can't be stopped.

It'll get ugly if it's really close!

I'm not an Obama supporter so I don't really care what he does, but for any Dem. to have a chance, photo ops. with Ted Kennedy aren't a good idea. That "Kennedy ultra-liberal" smear is the one the GOP loves to recite. The pics of Kennedy whispering into Obama's ear and Obama listening intently are going to haunt whoever is the nominee.

It came out wrong. In response to "Obama has the mojo," I meant to say Hillary "has" the voters in Florida who have been disenfranchised.


Sorry floridasandy, but this (Florida) is Hillary country! And the democrats NEED Florida, both as a cash cow, and because unlike South Carolina, our state matters in November.

NObama 08!

I think Obama will take it! I think all the endorsement for Obama from governors/senator(s) in red states will influence voter direction.

If it's between Hillary and Romney, Michael Bloomberg might decide to run.

I hope for Obama but I'm afraid, as someone else mentioned, that Hillary will get the superdelegates. We'll have a better idea (maybe!) after next week.
