| well I just seen the heat between hillary and obama. I yhink hillary is a big mouth and political corrupt she would never get my vote. obama was trying not to sling mud but she wouldnt let up and then accused him of changeing policy. im not sure he would do the white house justice at this time but id put my money on him before hillary the more i watch her the more i dislike her. |

I guess I have seen a lot of hatred for Hillary already so im counting her out. I watched how Mr. Clinton represented his wife and how he slammed on Obama. I dont appreciate that. Its all dirty slimy politics.

The public mudslinging is much more tame than in the prior two centuries. The dirty tricks, carried out by surrogates not publicly sanctioned by the candidates (such as the push "polls" in SC) hark back to the days of old. The point I'm trying to make, is that the public bickering is quite civil. As far as the most recent democratic debate is concerned, it is a great example of experience--Clinton baited Obama, and he bit (he could learn a great deal about deflecting and countering, from Clinton). I am believing less and less in the debate forum as a quality method of thinning out the pack...it has become a means to produce a juicy soundbite; it is free (or low cost) advertising.

OK. SC primary just wrapped up, and Obama won, so I figured now would be a good time to elaborate on my earlier post.
I believe he would be the "agent of change" for America, in two ways that no current candidate can match.
First, is my belief that Obama is the candidate most likely to appoint a mixed cabinet (consisting of liberals and conservatives). I imagine that few people doubt the wisdom of George Washington, and this was how he ran his administration. I do not want a president with chief advisers who feed the "decider" what he/she wants to hear, such a person is even less desirable when the "decider" chooses to ignore members once an unfavorable opinion has been given.
Second, is the ability of Obama to court the youth vote. The media has begun analyzing the vote, and it is apparent that Obama enjoys a substantial amount of support in the 18-29 year old demographic. This same demographic tends to be the most cynical and apathetic when government and elections are concerned. I believe that the American principal of democracy works better when more people vote, regardless of the ideology of the voters.

On a cynical note, and applicable to any and all candidates: "change" is probably the oldest theme of campaigns, and it is most certainly the cheapest.
