If I'd be voting for the nomination, I'd vote for Obama, because I think he's more electable.

If I'd be voting for president, I'd vote for Hilary, because she has more presidential experience.

I'm currently still holding on to my Edwards Dreams.

I would be happy if either won. Obama is great, and he will probably win. And here is why:

Not all people support Hilarys opinions. Some have good, decent reasons. Others will not vote for her because shes a woman. Oh, sure, they make up some ecsuse, but thats how they feel. Its sexist, and despite the fact that she has potential to be a great president, sahe is probably not going to make, because so many people think that way. It disgusts me.

I really like Obama because he is a fresh face and seems like a real human being. He is for civil liberties, trustworthy, experienced in global concerns since he travels the world helping persons in need. He has a diverse background, (race, religion) and I could actually see him talking to other countries and representing the US in a positive light. Hate to talk about race but for real, foreign countries are tired of talking to rich old white men. Sometimes it is not all about politics but about people skills and equality.

In a 2005 post on the liberal weblog Daily Kos, Barack Obama argued that Democrats must not only try to defeat the Republicans, they must work to build trust in government:"The bottom line is that our job is harder than the conservatives' job...whenever we exaggerate or demonize, or oversimplify or overstate our case, we lose. Whenever we dumb down the political debate, we lose. A polarized electorate that is turned off of politics, and easily dismisses both parties because of the nasty, dishonest tone of the debate, works perfectly well for those who seek to chip away at the very idea of government because, in the end, a cynical electorate is a selfish electorate."
Why should I vote for Barack Obama in 2008? - Obamapedia
Obama's campaign for President is built on the premise that the Democrats must "disagree without being disagreeable" and unite America to solve issues of historic importance. He focuses on his ability to overcome partisan bickering, to work across the aisle, and to produce real results. The idea that someone would be able to unite America and get the government to productively work on important issues sounds idealistic. Understanding that cynicism, Obama stresses that Americans must embrace the 'audacity of hope.' Hope is an irrational belief, a faith in optimism, but hope is also a unifying emotion, one that resonates with people across the globe. By emphasizing that we should all believe in the possibility of a new type of politics, Obama has converted many people, including Republicans, to believe in the possibility of the anti-Bush, a non-ideological leader that respects those who disagree with him and works to find not the Democratic solution, not the Republican solution, but the best solution. Campaigning to replace Bush with a unifying leader, he has struck a chord across the country—as shown by polls, book sales, enormous crowds, and website groups. In this crucial juncture in history, he has the potential to improve how Americans perceive politics, leading to more trust in government and solving some very difficult problems.

All of the Democratic candidates more or less support the same issues and hold similar values. The candidate's Iraq plans, health care plans, energy plans, ethics plans, and education plans differ in details, but they all aim for the same general progressive goals: pulling out of Iraq, introducing universal health care, reducing America’s dependence on oil, battling climate change, strengthening national security, ridding Washington of corruption, and improving our schools. The specific details of the plans aren’t too significant; what matters more is the actual ability of the candidate to create the political will for change. Obama, unlike the most of the other candidates, has a history of working across the aisle and listening to opposing viewpoints, and is stressing a united America within his campaign. If he was elected, Obama would do a better job of not only passing the necessary legislation by incorporating other peoples points of view, but also persuading the American people that he is acting in their interest. An American president who is elected by saying, ‘we’re all in this together and we all have a stake in each other’ will do a better job of persuading Republican voters that America is moving in the right direction. If Obama’s nomination fails, another Democratic may be able to win the presidency, but the Republican voters would not respect— four out of ten Republicans voted for Obama in his Illinois Senate Race —the other Democratic candidate as much Obama. Because of his ability to appeal to moderate and Republican voters, an Obama election will improve the long-term image of the Democratic Party. We don't want another Bush...Ever.

I'm not voting for either of these two individuals. I'm more inclined to vote for people who make sense and care about what is most important. Mitt Romney looks better and better every day.

If they were both in the general election, I would have to vote for Obama. His views on Iraq don't change every other week.

Since B. Clinton just got $10 mill. from the Arabs, I definitely would not vote Hillary.

Obama.
Hands down.

He is way more intelligent.
He is a visionary.
He actually gets stuff done.

He's perfect.

Clinton is just annoying, and she can't decide what she believes.
