I think America is ready for Barack and Hillary. My only dilemma is I'm not sure who I want to be president and who I want to be vice president.

Clearly either of the two running (and ultimately winning) will be a dramatic change for the US. There will either be the first Black president or the first Woman president. Both have their advantages, strengths, and relative weaknesses.
The biggest issue is agenda and ability to change America. Hillary has had a great influence on American policy already. There's no doubt that while Clinton was in office she forced a good amount of policy and was key in some national agenda. She has also been instrumental as NY Senator.
Senator Obama has also made strides as Illinois Senator and is on a national movement to inforce change and promote unity within the very divide, United States.
The only problem is that neither of them is ready to remain in the background. They have both done their "behind-the-scenes" work, and are incredible candidates for Presidency. Both will undoubtedly increase international relations between the US and it's allies. I think both will bring about needed change to this country. What I don't think is that either one of them wants to dwell in the shadow of the other. Meaning, I don't think either will stand to be the other's Vice President. Their both Pilots neither is a co-pilot.
So I think we'll get one or the other not both. While I think they'll eventually work together on many issue because they're both in the same party I think the Democratic party would prefer one of them take the reigns and get a VP that will actually follow. Neithe one of those candidates is a #2.
Personally, I think Senator Obama will be able to achieve more of his objectives as President than Senator Clinton, but I welcome both of them for the 2008 races.

I saw Obama's speech today and he was tremendous. One of the things that I like about him is he never attacks the other side of the aisle. While the other candidates are busy taking shots at the other side, he talks about a united America where all voices are heard. I think this message could do well with the American public, as I feel that Democrats and Republicans are both tired of partisan politics and want a government that works in the people's best interest. I think one of the things that will also help him is the fact that he voted against the Iraq war from the beginning, so he will not have to explain why is changing his tune like Hillary and others will. I had been thinking about voting for Hillary, but now am thinking about Obama. We need a new direction, and I think he offers the best opportunity for change.

I think terrorists all over the world would be thrilled either way. Barack because he is one of those weirdos that thinks we can solve conflicts that have been going on for thousands of years "politically" and Hillary because look what happened last time a Clinton was in the white house...the planning of 9/11, the first twin towers bomb, our ships being attacked, our embassy's being bombed, an assassination attempt on a former president...jeez, no wonder we are seen as a paper tiger, and Bill is suppose to be the smart one of those two.

Obama politically can not choose Hillary as his running mate, as that would counter his message of 'change we can believe in'. Hillary Clinton is fatally associated with the old style of politics due to her connection with Bill. If Obama chose Hillary as running mate, he would have no chance of making it to the oval office. I think he'll choose Edwards or someone else besides Clinton.

I think Hillary/Obama would be better, Obama is young and inexperienced and I am not sure that he would be ready to take on the job of president. At this time at least, I am subject to change my mind, I know that I will be trying to find out more about him. I will be watching the 60 minutes interviw tommorow night for sure.

I don't think that would be a good pairing. Barack Obama has gained popularity. I don't see Hillary being willing to share the spotlight with someone so popular.

I don't understand how the man can be plotting 9/11 one minute, trapped in the mountains of Afghanistan the next, and planning a run for the White House in the next. Silly al Qaedemocrats!
