Is that Karl Rove in the red sweater?

we don't need a leader. We need a figurehead. I don't know how anybody could be in control of a nation of 300 million. We just need someone to tuck us in at night and tell us everything will be alright. That's what presidents are supposed to do.

I don't see why people vote for someone because of their race. Look at Massachusetts, most people voted for Deval Patrick because of the race card. In two months on the job he has been a complete disgrace. This is the problem with Yuppie Socialists, they never get to live like the rest of us so they pick stupid reasons to support candidates. We need a leader with guts, someone who is strong, someone like Elliot Spitzer.

The Edge, I don't work for his campaign but, yes, I'm a huge supporter of Barack. :) Vanessa (oh, and yes, I'm a she)

p.s. He's also white, by the way. His mother was white.

Hova, He's black, yes, but he's Catholic, not Muslim.

He's black and muslim? please tell me the democratic party is not serious? This is like when Al gore picked Jew joe Lieberman as vice president and lost by .02%. I guarantee if he had picked John Kerry he would have won by a landslide.

Vanessa doesn't sound too much like PR (wo)man, now does (s)he?

Michelle really stole the show. She gave Barack a great introduction--she was charming, funny, inspiring. Barack was...tired. I love the guy, but the poor man looked exhausted. He was still solid, though. I hope he got a good night's sleep.

I was there and it was great. Michelle Obama introduced her husband on stage. She is a wonderful speaker - geniune, insightful, smart. Barack was smart, funny, humble and very handsome... He cares about average folk. People believe in him for a reason. He has what it takes to lead this country out of this horrible & misguided rut.

Yeah. Cheney has TONS of experience. Rummy, too. Look where that's gotten us. The most experienced president we've had in the last 20 years was arguably George H.W. Bush and apparently the nation was ready to hand power over to an Arkansas governor.

Politicians--from BOTH parties--aren't exactly known for their supreme intelligence. And, really, none of the candidates thus far have been all that impressive. All they are, are personality figureheads.

I like how Obama says "race". Dude has no experience. he's the Ralph Nader of 2008 [4] Posted by: jojo | March 10, 2007 10:04 AM And look at all the experience Geo Bush has and where it's gotten us...

Democrats need to take back their political party. Enough of Hillary, Lieberman, and the rest of the cowards that have been in-step with Bush throughout his "War on Terror".

do you really think they'll run together? that seems a little too radical for a party as cowardly as the democrats-- that is, fielding a ticket with no white men and no southerners. i'd love it, though.

Obama quoted saying that he's "bigger than Jesus". //he didn't really say that ///nice that people gave so much money to Hillary's future running mate
