And have you seen the video of an alleged plagiarism? http://www.primetimepolitic…

Deval Patrick defended Obama saying they share alot of the same ideas, but still, would it have hurt him to quote?

The author argued that, within a little more than a year, Obama has built from scratch a nation-wide campaign (with the accompanying organizational structure), that has taken on the long-established and very powerful Clinton political machine — and appears to be winning. He started out with much less money, and was mostly unknown — with the added disadvantage of having a name unfortunately similar to our biggest terrorist enemy. He’s either doing a fantastic job, or has surrounded himself with people who do a fantastic job (and admirable quality, either way).

There’s no arguing though, that McCain (or Clinton, for that matter) is more accomplished by virtue of having served in public life longer. However, none of the remaining candidates, save Huckabee, has executive experience. Being a legislator, even for a really long time, doesn’t necessarily qualify you for executive office.

I think you’re right about Romney’s strategy, although a Republican could still win, particularly if Clinton gets the nomination. One thing is certain — this is the most fascinating presidential race I’ve ever witnessed.

I also think Mitt knows a repub is not going to win anyway at this point; might as well endorse his strongest rival, who will lose bigtime, and then give it another go in ’12. It’s a good strategy.

But could I personally support someone who flat out lies? Out of the three left (Sorry paul & huck supporters) I do see myself leaning Obama as he hasn’t shown evidence of being seriously corrupt. But I haven’t been able to find evidence of real accomplishments with him either. Help me out here.

I do see that his church’s website has many statement that, if you were to use the word "white" instead of "black" or "europe" instead of "africa" would indeed be called terribly racist.

But people have certainly accused Mitt of religious based racism too, and I know that’s bunk.

I also have read about his opposition to some anti-discrimination lawsuit against Southern Illinois University. Apparently they had several programs made only available to women and preferred minorities. His statements appear to be more of an attack on Bush, though.

Hey, maybe if Hillary/McCain get the nomination, Romney and Obama can run independent ;-D

1) He took a detour from the career ladder to work in a low-paying job as a community organizer — something you don’t do unless you truly believe in changing the world for the better. None of the other candidates did anything like it.

2) He apparently cares more about kindness than beating a political rival. He saved Bill Richardson from an embarrassing public moment when he could have let Richardson twist in the wind (http://tinyurl.com/3xr2bx — paragraph 6).

I’m impressed that Obama "walks the walk." When he talks about Americans uniting to solve problems, I believe that he really feels that can happen, and wants to help us get there.
