I'm really hoping Barack Obama wins the Democratic Nomination and then the Presidency and it hasn't even been hard for me to make the choice between candidates as some would expect with a potential for a couple Firsts for the United States; first woman and first black and ii guess im supposed to vote for Hillary since im white and a woman but to me she's way to seasoned a politician and i for one can't stand politicians one bit, they make me sick to see them or hear them which is why i gag when hearing a speech by Hillary.
John Edwards is way to pretty and rich for me and he seems way to religified for my taste, (i like the separation of church and government) let's keep it that way is what i say.
Barack Obama may be a liar like all politicians but he's relatively unknown and so when i hear him i don't gag or puke in my throat and want to turn the tv channel (yet) I mean im not like most and i don't believe everything he says but it sounds good and coming from someone that's not like the other candidates that's quite refreshing and i believe why he's beating up Hillary at every turn.
And i don't put any stock into him not having experience, i mean how can he do worse than what america has had the last 7 years with the Bush administration? Im sure he'll be surrounded by just as many political advisors as all the other presidents so i think there'll be nothing more to worry about than the same old gripes that people always have after they put some lieing fool in the White House and then wonder about their decision.
I would bet on Barack Obama at Bodog and win (i just may) big cause there's nothing now that Hillary can do to win the nomination they now are hoping Obama does something to screw up himself or that the press digs up something damaging and believe they are working hard on that as well. He's to charismatic and Hillary is Polarizing and a bit scary (sorry girls).
Barack should put a good hurt on Mcain as well since the republicans can't even come close to matching funds or people turnouts like the democrates it will be a record beating by Obama and the Democratic Party this year.
I agree in principal with a lot you have said here. The worry I have is that the democrats are still to divided and must come together soon or MCcain will come out on top. This country needs real change now. And as you said, Obama's lack of experience (at least of being a politician) makes him most attractive. And yes, he will be able to get wise people around him to help where he has less experience. Nice post. Bravo from an American friend...
