Who do you feel would be a better candidate for President: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. I used to be 100% for Hillary, but I have watched some footage of Obama's "Take Back America 2007" speech, and I admit that I was swayed somewhat. Both have stances that I agree with, and both have a few that I disagree with. Hillary has much more experience, but Barack seems much more personable, and he seems to have good ideas. I AM TORN!

fade_2_black: It's not that I'm easily swayed; as a college student, I have learned to think critically about all things, especially things that concern my family. I had never heard Obama speak before stumbling upon his speech, but I had heard Hillary speak many times, so I was familiar with her stances on things. In addition, I have checked out everyone's stances via the Internet. I knew that I agreed with many of Obama's stances, but hearing him speak helped to enforce what I already suspected.
As for me having six children with different men, that is just ignorant. I am married with one child and another on the way. I don't understand what my private life would have to do with my choices regarding politics, though. Seems a little pathetic, if you ask me.

I was torn in the beginning myself, but I feel that Hillary Clinton is the best choice. In this world atmosphere, and with everything that still needs to be accomplished in the Middle East we have to have someone with more experience than Obama. One thing that has consistently been noted about Hillary Clinton since she first became a senator, by both Democrats and Republicans and more than a few generals, is that she has immersed herself in all things military and has become very knowledgeable in military matters. She's been serving on the Armed Service Committee for six years, and has been an active participant, not just a sitting member.
I like Obama very much and he has some great ideas but I think he needs a deeper resume under his belt to lead our country right now. He would do well to be her VP if he were asked. Eight years of experience in the White House and he will be a formidable candidate and more seasoned politician.

I am more of a John Edwards fan but if i had to pick between Clinton or Obama i would be going for Obama, yeah i know that he is young and some would say he is not ready to be president but remember he has not been as corrupt by negative politics as bad as Clinton and what i mean by bad politics i mean flip flopping saying on thing and voting for another yeah Hillary said what she did was wrong and "if she knows now what she knew back then" she would not have voted the way she did for the war, Obama would be a fresh new face and new ideas to American politics.

Obama is an excellent candidate but Hillary is seasoned and experience and we need somebody with experience to clean up the horrendous mess that is being left with the Bush Whitehouse. I say Obama would be a great successor to Hillary.

Neither is a good choice for the democrats or America, if you can be that easily swayed I would be surprised if you dont have six children all from different fathers, your an easy target.

I will vote for Hillary, I'd like to see Barack Obama in politics longer, to mostly know who he is, although if he did win I wouldn't be disappointed.

As an Independent, I would vote Obama, but I cannot go along with his support of amnesty on immigration. So I'm not voting for him. Otherwise, he would be a great candidate.

Of course Clinton

Neither. Obama is less bad than Clinton, but that's the only positive thing I can say about him.

Rottenham Clinton is a liar, cheater, thief and murderer. No backbone to stand up to BJ when he was busy disgracing the office of the president. I'm all for Obama and hope he is the nominee.

Neither of them have good ideas - they'll tell you what you want to hear to get elected, then immediately forget you, unless you've got mucho bucks...
Remember - they're politicians.
