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 am proud to be in florida, but it is disrespectful to say that another state does not matter. all states matter and all votes count. nobody is going to win all 50 states.

I really doubt that this will even be over after super tuesday.As far as florida the problem has not been that they don't count ;it's that they just can't count.

Disrespectful or not, it's pretty much the truth due to the electoral college.

My strategy is to vote for Obama in the Democratic Primary, just to do my part to keep That Woman out.
Let us stop the dynasties this year, PLEASE!!!

I'm a conservative with a libertarian streak... or is it libertarian with conservative streak?
Either way, no one in the Republican party has me yet. Ron Paul is a little interesting, and out there, but I'm not sold. I love his old-fashioned view of the constitution, though.
I liked Huckabee as governor of Arkansas, but as president...... I don't know. A lot of my liking for him in AR was that he was an enormous breath of fresh air after the Clintons... Bill managed to take Arkansas from the worst state in the union to..... even worse. I think Puerto Rico had passed us by the time he left.

Come November, I don't know who I'll go for. I may go for some 3rd party guy for the first time.

Obama's mother is a white woman from kansas right. In this case native americans, mexicans, puerto ricans, italians, whites, asians, dominicans, and cubans are black.

Because some people in these races have more black blood than obama.

Yeah, well, I wonder if all of those "other people" have ever written gems like:

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"...

Or that they, "Found solace nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

- Barack Obama, as written in "Dreams of my Father."



This stuff is hitting my "inbox" from conservative relatives of mine every day now. As they say, "You aint seen nuthin yet!"

If that's the case, I'll be out of the country for the next 4-8 years.

The Kennedys dont have anywhere near the pull anymore that some people think they have. Massachusetts will vote Democratic no matter what, and I dont think their endorsement will make a difference anywhere else

Ok. Simple enough, I believe Obama has the roots to become the humble world leader that we need to represent our county. I believe Hillary along with Bill would have a stronger force within their control of the United States. I also see Hillary as more a more passionate delegate, yes... but also with a tendancy to react negatively in pressure situations.

Obama is an amazing and intelligent speaker and is the most influential to the younger generation. The next generation thats about to run america. Obama, I believe is going to cure our representation with the world in ways that would probably give Bush nightmares. As a universal president, I believe OBAMA would make our country proud to be Americans across the globe once again!
