Who do you think is going to get the nomintation and why. I left Edwards out because I think he took himself out of the race with the blog incident but you can weigh in on him too if you like.

I want the responses of all parties...I never said you have to support either one. Does anyone else think that Obamas lack of political experience might be refreshing. He does have experience of a different kind by jumpstarting community action in blighted inner-city areas...

If Hillary Clinton became president, that would mean we have had the same two families (Bush and Clinton) in the White House for something like the last 34 years! I believe people want something different.
I don't see where Hillary has so much experience. Obama may have a little less experience than Hillary, but that may be a point in his favor since he has not had the opportunity for corruption yet. Hillary's years as first lady do not, in my opinion, count as experience.
I think Obama has a good chance against Hillary. I also think the news media is trying very hard to make the country think Hillary has a chance. Really, do the Democrats want to waste this golden opportunity at the White House on Hillary? It remains to be seen, and will be interesting.

2 losers.
Is _anybody_ else going to run??
Addendum:
Ok, since you clarified,
Obama lacks the experience to be an effective leader. He seems to be a nice guy, but that is not what is needed in the presidency. That position demands a person of power and true leadership.
Hilliary lacks vision. She is stuck on her private agenda, which appears to be fully socialistic in nature. Neither is she a viable candidate.
Edwards, maybe. But he withdrew, so that is not an option now.
Kerry, maybe. He does have the charisma to swing it, if his past doesn't catch up with him too soon.
Guilliani, maybe. He hasn't made any effort yet, but he might capture the Republican nomination. He also has the charisma to be a good candidate plus he is an experienced executive officer of a large city. That's good background.
The nominations are still 'up in the air', so it's going to be an interesting time.

I think if you are going to vote for Obama just because he's black or Hillary because she's a female you are choosing for the wrong reason.
Obama's stance we should start pulling troops out of Iraq really soon could be a mistake. But then my crystal ball isn't too clear on that.
Hillary I don't care for because I think she's more interested in power than what is good for the country. I do like her refusal to say whether or not she would change her previous vote on Iraq. That is the past and is unchangable. What is important is what the goals are.
But I could be wrong on both counts.

How is electing Hillary vote casting for a "substitute"? did no longer this u . s . take a turn for the worst after bill's president and it is generally extra of a similar below Hillary's admin?

Between the two, I think Hillary has the best chance. She is a lot more experienced at politics and she, at least has a record to run on. Barak is a flash in the pan and he will fade over the next year.

Hillary is evil incarnate and Obama has little experience in politics. Of course, I'll put my money on Hillary to win the nomination since the media loves Bill.

Neither!!! I BELIEVE that we need to get any of the Democrats or Republicans OUT, period. What has either Party done for this Country in the last 20 years, besides bicker at each other ?

Obama is certainly the more trustworthy of the two, but this is politics and you never know. The Clinton machine is pretty powerful. I doubt anyone can beat it.

Well, I wouldn't count Edwards out yet. It's still early. I have to learn more about Obama, but I'm leaning towards him. Hillary I find too untrustworthy. With Whitewater and all.

Neither is in support of protecting our freedoms. Only interested in a power grab by giving a false sense of security and redistributing people's money and valuables. One is a thief (Hillary) the other is mindless (Barak). I'd like Barak if he stood for something, he stands for nothing. Hillary needs to be in prison for obstructing Justice, among other things.
