The main difference between Republicans and Democrats is the choice between hope and hate. Look at the 2004 conventions: Barack Obama was the keynote speaker for the Dems. His speech, entitled "The Audacity of Hope" was inspiring. The Republicans chose Zell Miller as keynote speaker. His speech, apparently entitled "John Kerry is an evil, evil man" was filled with half truths and intellectual dishonesty, driving the audience into a fervor.
I'd rather have hope.

yes. Yet he hasn't had the experience of being in a national election that would force him to be a bit more harsh. I'm a Moderate whom usually votes Republican. I like the man. I pray more politicians take the hint that they need to get along and do whats best for the country and put aside their unquenchable thirsts for power.

Yes I agree. And he seems highly intelligent. I hope someone who truly is a uniter, as he really appears to be, will get into office and start cleaning up this huge mess Bush has created. On the other hand, who would want such an atrocious disaster to fix. I pity the fool that gets in next.

i will bear in suggestions going to A&W and having them positioned a tray on my drivers part window. under no circumstances tried a eco-friendly River gentle drink I bear in suggestions those super oblong floor ice chests and having to slip an Orancge Neho of Orange weigh down or Creme Soda. They flavor so plenty greater effective from the bottles.

It is, and it's one of the things I like most about him. I just hope he can survive the trenches of political war when it comes to seeking the Presidency. I have been, and remain, a fan of Hillary, but if he continues in the same vein politically, I may have a hard choice to make when I decide who I will back.

I strongly feel that he is all show and no go. The Democratic party is currently trying to give this guy the charismatic JFK image. And he also was all show and no go. What Democrats truly need right now is a very strong candidate. Someone who is not a wimpy moderate. Someone who is far to the left and someone who is not afraid to tell it like it is. In other words, someone who will tackle the tough issues. And that has not happened for years for them at the executive level. Bill Clinton and his "consultants" made that party soft in the 90's and it has been getting softer and more moderate ever since. Especially on the illegal immigration issue. Obama and Hillary Clinton are not what the Democratic party needs right now. They need a hell raiser!

Yes!! I love the man's attitude and everything else about him. He's the first politician to come along in a long, long time that I feel can be trusted, that he truly wants to make a difference and not just make a name for himself.

I think Obama will be much like Jimmy Carter, and who needs another Carter.

He is the most refreshingly honest and positive candidate in memory
