He actually voted against the war. He's pretty much the only guy I know of....running, who does not need to spin his decision as to why he did it. He may be a Republican, but he's more of a liberal than what he's label as. People need to give him a chance and listen to him debate. We don't have to vote for Hillary or Obama just because they are the biggest names on the Democrat's side. ^^^ that’s why you should check out Ron Paul. He actually voted against the war.

I don't really trust that guy. Observing from the outside (I'm not in US) that's the feeling I got. I have listen to him talk, pretty smooth talker but then I am one also but I am looking for quality leader that have it in him or her to bring the country out of the situation that US is in now. From Economic to socio economic, just delivering speeches about changes does not mean he could have pull it off. As for Hillary, I'm game for a woman president but just because she is one does not mean she'll be a good one either. So far I have observed of Hillary, she's pretty experience. I find her quick and witty and I have to say that anyone could bring America out of problems, it could be her. America need a house cleaning. I would vote for Hillary (if I can vote since I am not American , I could not) so all I can do is just pray for her and her campaign.

I wrote this long comment... and it disappeared! O_O *sigh* Essentially, I'm leaning towards Obama, and I'm glad that Stewart and Colbert are back (albeit guiltily so). Also, the media have just been ridiculous regarding recent events, and I never get spam in my Gmail account. (Don't tell me I just jinxed myself =X)

I'm Canadian, so I am watching this whole thing from an outsiders perspective. From what I've read in the newspapers and seen on TV and such, I'd like to see Obama win, I think he'll do some good things. I wonder who Micheal Moore is voting for? I've seen his documentaries, such as Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, and even skimmed his book Stupid White Men.....boy, is he ever one opinionated SOB :( Anyway, it'll be interesting to see not only who wins the next presidential election, but what they do once they're in office. lol this is interesting reading the political discussion.

She may be calculating, but who in politics isn't? I can't help but wonder if she is considered to be too calculating and power hungry because she is a woman. Should a man exhibit the same qualities, I can't help but feel that he would be called intelligent and ambitious. E - I also question the Democratic candidates' electability. The nation is not ready to vote in a person of color or a woman as president. I think Obama would make a better president (if only because, as a whole, he is more likable than Clinton - a very polarizing figure - and will be able to garner more support), but when it comes down to it, white will win over black - such is the nature of race relations in a country in which institutional racism is firmly entrenched. And when you factor in the gender inequality created by the patriarchy, man will win over woman. And, unfortunately, I don't think Edwards really has much of a chance. Things do not look good for the Dems. Eh, maybe my husband is right and I'm being too pessimistic. Maybe Obama can win. Woo hoo! I hope that he's right. Anybody else enjoying unusually temperate weather for January? any – I also find it interesting that many in the Clinton opposition find her to be too power hungry.
