But if they could both work together - that would be awesome. I have hope again - for the first time in a while i think that America might actually come to its collective senses. I can hope. <BR/><BR/>BTW - my gosh - McCain is now coming across (to me) as a monster - we have got to win -we have just got to win.Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843810192461496497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337544384381799871.post-348995017816156472008-02-07T21:11:00.000-05:002008-02-07T21:11:00.000-05:00The other thing about Clinton is she is very polar...The other thing about Clinton is she is very polarizing. Similar to how Bush was/is. The difference is she is not polarizing just between dems and republicans, she causes a divide within the democratic base itself. However, I do think if she gets the nomination most democrats will end up backing her. Many will feel like they are voting for the lesser of two evils at that point though.<BR/><BR/>Not saying that is how I feel, but it is an observation I have made among many people.Osayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059846493862202035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337544384381799871.post-53834046030041859112008-02-07T18:20:00.000-05:002008-02-07T18:20:00.000-05:00I'll be voting for Obama next month; I'm amazed it...I'll be voting for Obama next month; I'm amazed it won't be clinched before then!

I think she is very smart, strong and capable and would definitely be better than any of the republican candidates. The reason I like Obama over Hillary though is he seems more genuine at this point and also I think his "lack of experience" is an asset since I think it is more likely to produce real, much needed change. He has never accepted money from special interest groups. He is fresh, young and has not sold out yet. That is what we need.<BR/><BR/>Well, Tuesday was exciting. <A HREF="http://www.kare11.com/news/elections/decision2008/decision_article.aspx?storyid=496523" REL="nofollow">We had a record turn out here in Minnesota</A>. There were traffic jams because so many people went to vote. At my location the traffic was backed up for several blocks. And that was just the caucus! I have never even seen that on an actual election day. So, I think people are finally waking up.<BR/><BR/>I am optimistic about this year and hope we can start moving in a new direction as a nation.Osayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059846493862202035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337544384381799871.post-64367029403146257872008-02-06T18:45:00.000-05:002008-02-06T18:45:00.000-05:00I like the way you think Gabe!
