re: Clinton beating Obama,
What none of the pundits and pollsters seemed to understand was that many voters like myself, thinking that Obama was going to slam dunk Clinton voted for Edwards who needs support and should be at the very least, the candidate of Vice President. The Clintons had their time and need to move over and let fresh ideas take the stage. thank you
I'm wondering how many women changed their vote to Clinton after hearing a male (husband, boyfriend, coworker) make some disparaging comment about women after Clinton's moment of showing emotion on Monday (gettting "choked up")? B.H.
I would like to draw attention to Barack Obama's concession speech after the NH primary. It was highly inspiring and stood alone compared to the other speeches given last night. Someone in broad casting needs to highlight the quality of this candidates orations.
Thank you,
Ian Reddick
Someone in broadcasting needs to highlight the quality??? What do you mean??? That's all the news outlets do!! It's like every one is so surprised that a black man can speak so well ... What I am surprised about is that's all it takes for Obama to be elected President? His motivational speaking skills? He has NO Experience. Check out his Illinois legislative record ... he didn't vote on over a hundred issues, he just recorded that he was "present" ... he avoids making any tough decisions that can hurt him down the line. He criticized Hillary for her Senate vote on the Kyl-Lieberman Resolution, only to find out, Obama never took an interest to even vote on the issue as a US Senator. He has no experience! He goes on and on about how he opposed the Iraq war, based on what??? Divine inspiration??? Oh, that's great! CNN??? His wife??? What did he base his anti-war position on??? I was against the war! Should I run for president!! I wasn't briefed, i.e. by the Bush Administration, by the defense department, by the CIA ... Clinton was. She was lied to by the Bush Administration. If Bush hadn't lied, and there were Weapons of Mass Destruction ... what would you have thought of Clinton if she had voted against the war?? She made a considered decision based on Bush lies. Garbage in, garbage out! She made the best decision under the circumstances. A thoughtful decision. Obama had nothing to base his decision on. He wasn't briefed nor did he ask any questions of anyone --- and then he just comes out with an opinion!! And you don't even question it!! If it sounds too good, it probably is!!
To paraphrase Neil Armstrong ... Hillary's win in the NH primary is "One small step for the people of America, one giant leap for the people of the world!" Fifty percent of the world's population are women, 50% of United States population are women, more than 50 percent of the US voters are women, and after more than 200 years there has never been a woman elected as President of the United States. What far reaching change electing Hillary as President will bring not only to the US but to the world!
Hillary Clinton is by far the most highly and uniquely qualified candidate, who also happens to be a woman, to run for President of the United States! Hillary Clinton and her supporters want REAL change! Not the status quo that the other candidates bring! Hillary is the ONLY candidate that has the experience, the perspective and the courage to bring about REAL Change!!
Obama ... get some experience! Back up your ability to swoon a crowd with some real experience and leadership! Edwards --- go home! Take care of your family, get a real job - stop wasting your millions on running for president, and put your money where your big talk is ... taking care of the poor!
Obama and Edwards are both good men in their own way ... but just because they are a man, and historically, all US presidents have been men, doesn't mean that they have an entitlement to becoming President! Obama thinks that all he needs to do is be a great motivational speaker, with no qualifications or experience, and he can swoon and sway the voters. While Edwards thinks if he uses his alpha-male-attack-dog-trial-lawyer techniques he can bully and scare us into voting for him. The voters are tired of smoke and mirrors ... we want substance. Hillary is the real thing!!
New Hampshire made history by paving the way for Hillary to become the first woman president in the United States!!! I am proud to live in New Hampshire!
Just a quick comment and an admission of my own ignorance surrounding the NH primary process. I am an undeclared voter. I arrived to vote yesterday and must admit in all my years of voting I have never been so excited to vote for the candidate of my choice, who happened to be a Democrat. I was therefore crestfallen to be handed a Republican ballot. I had not realized that I had been auotmatically registered as a Republican by virtue of voting in the Republican primary two years ago and that I needed to renew my undeclared status months prior to voting in this primary. In the short time I was in my voting precinct it became obvious that there were others in the same situation as I. I wonder if other precincts experienced this from their voters. If so, this must have had an impact on the primary results. I have learned a valuable lesson and will be certain in the future to pay attention to change party affiliation back to undeclared.
