Everyone is arguing this Clinton obama election. I live in Indianapolis and we have our Primarys tommorow and for the first time in history Indiana vote will actually count. (With that being said anyone reading this from Indiana please make sure you go out and cast your vote tommorrow.) I will not say who I am going to vote for until after tommorow but I will say this I think both canidiates are good at their job and I think that they would both be a good President. I also think who ever does not get the nominatee should be the running mate for the other. This can;t not be a race thing and it can't be a sex thing because Bush has screwed up America so bad that we need a good person to get in their and clean up the mess that he has had so much fun making. And if we turn it in to a race or a sex thing that puts people like me in and ackward postion because I am a black female so who do I vote for. Now with that being said like I stated I think either of them would do and excellent job and like it has being said before both would do a better job thatn McCain and all three of them would do a better job than Bush. But the Democrats have the best solution for all of the problems. Especially to bring home our troops we can't afford to lose any more lives to this senseless war. So vote the best candiate outside of race and sex just don't vote for McCain lets put someone in office to clean up this huge mess we have. And Lower our gas prices man gas is 3.85 a gallon here.
Hillary Rodham ClintonHillary Rodham Clinton (60, Democrat) grew up in a middle class, politically conservative family in a Chicago suburb. Her politics changed during the civil rights movement. After earning her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1973, she began a career as an advocate for families and children, first working as a staff attorney for the Children's Defense Fund and going on to advocate as a lawyer, as First Lady of Arkansas, as First Lady, and as twice-elected U.S. Senator from New York. As Senator, she has supported policies including health care reform that promotes and protects middle class families, children and veterans. She has fought to strengthen and improve homeland security and is a critic of the bungling of the war in Iraq. She advocates for energy independence. She and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have one daughter.

Senator Clinton champions a Strategic Energy Fund (paid for by oil companies who must either invest in renewable energy or give part of their windfall profits) to promote clean energy technologies, increase energy efficiency and establish a market-based program to reduce greenhouse gasses. She supports reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050, and cutting foreign oil imports by two-thirds from 2030 projected levels.
Senator Clinton believes we must restore America's reputation in the world by removing troops and ending authority for the Iraq War, building a strong foundation of bipartisan consensus, forming global alliances and engaging our enemies in aggressive diplomacy so as to better understand and confront them, including in Iran.

Senator Clinton supported the Patriot Act during its initial passage and its reauthorization, but has been critical of elements of it and sought to have it modified. Clinton has also been critical of the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, saying the President lacked legal authority to order wiretaps without judicial warrants. She supports lesbian and gay rights, including civil unions (but not same-sex marriage) and federal hate crimes legislation.

Hillary's health care plan would cover all Americans - it offers a choice to keep existing insurance, choose from the same insurance available to members of Congress or opt-in to public insurance. It is non-discriminatory and portable. Her plan would be financed from "modernizing" the health system (i.e. electronic records) and redirected tax breaks.
Senator Clinton voted for the No Child Left Behind Act and wants to see its reauthorization expand to support early childhood education, improve teacher training, lower class size, enhance parental involvement, and eliminate environmental hazards in schools. She believes in attracting and supporting more outstanding teachers and principals, and paying them like professionals. She has announced a plan for universal Pre-Kindergarten and supports plans for improving college affordability.

Senator Clinton supports raising the minimum wage, balancing the federal budget, rewarding savings, protecting pensions, and cracking down on predatory lenders. She supports free trade agreements like NAFTA, though she's recently discussed the need to ensure labor and environmental protections and to evaluate every trade agreement as president.

Clinton is your choice. Slick Barry Obama will get destroyed by the GOP in the general election. Don't set yourselves up for disappointment, Hillary's been through the wringer already.

I can't believe anyone would even consider voting for McCain. To keep the same regime that has continued to destroy this nation.....................
Nor do I understand how anyone can make the assumption that others don't constantly write their Congressmen, women, and the President consistantly, just as much if not more than they sign petitions......
I feel bad for all the trees from the responses they send me by mail.
Anyways,....to Stacey.., I agree with you, and you make some very strong and important points.

We need to start looking below skin color and start looking at the red of all our blood; which is being spilled in alarming numbers in Iraq. Racial tension should be regarded as a diversionary tactic the Republicans throw to the media to interrupt the crisis of the war and the reciprocal effects of the war on our standing in the world at large.
The economy is in a tailspin, both here at home, and in the world trade areas. The dollars' buying power has diminished as has our gross national product. Less jobs means less production.

"In September, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. looked at the math ‹ and the aftermath ‹ of America's past elections in a Rolling Stone cover story entitled "Will the Next Election Be Hacked?" Kennedy noted that 80% of the 2006 midterm election ballots cast in America's 180,000 precincts will be counted by electronic boxes that leave no paper trail. Worse, three of the four companies that provide these machines ‹ Deibold, Election Systems & Software (ES&S) and Hart InterCivic ‹ have ties to Republican Party interests.
According to author and election watchdog Lynn Landes, in early voting in Texas, Arkansas, Florida and Missouri, "touch-screen machines are reportedly flipping votes from Democratic candidates to Republicans." Vote-flipping was first noted when the machines were used in the 2000 presidential election, Landes says, "and it always appears to favor Republicans over Democrats."
After the 2002 elections, it was discovered that Diebold officials installed an unauthorized patch on the memory cards of 5,000 machines in Georgia's two strongest Democratic precincts. A Diebold consultant told Kennedy that the patch would have made it possible to rig the election by putting a select candidate "ahead by three or four percent." In addition, the patches could "include a built-in delete that erases itself after it's done." "
Instead of being focused on whether Obama has experience or Hillary has reams of it, how about a real issue like the above. Why not write your representatives?

"January 23, 2007 - On Monday, two groups filed Freedom of Information Act requests seeking information regarding warrantless mail surveillance, which was authorized by President Bush through a "signing statement" that went largely unnoticed in December. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for National Security Studies noted in a press release that the statement was "attached to a statute that expressly prohibits opening First Class mail without a warrant," and said that the president was claiming "unprecedented authority." "No president has the authority to decide on his own what the law is," said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU said in a press release sent to RAW STORY. "From Pentagon and FBI surveillance of peace activists to unchecked NSA wiretapping, the executive branch is trampling on the privacy and free speech rights of Americans. The public needs to know if the president is undermining the democratic process by abusing his power and violating the Constitution." Earlier this month, CNSS director Kate Martin told the The Daily News that the "authority to open domestic mail without a warrant...would be new and quite alarming." "The danger is they're reading Americans' mail," Martin said."

Regarding Obama, I am not sure he is getting my vote either. I may have to vote for McCaine. I do not trust Obama either; this does not stem from any particular behavior of his that has been made public thus far. My instincts tell me that he is not to be trusted either. I wish that we did away with this two party system -- it is dysfunctional, restrictive, and undemocratic; not to mention the representational system we have. And then, let us not forget another super-imposition to the democratic process that has been invented --- the super-delegate!!! Sigh!! Can we muzzled Democracy any further?!!! And as technology has been such a help to modern-day man, let us not forget what it can do to obfuscate the vote -- the future of oligarchy in America -- is the manipulation of the vote through technological machinations and manipulations. Stop dreaming, and speaking "new age' nonsense, people, and wake up!!!

why would Mrs. Clinton decide to change her real middle name from "rodenhurst" to "rodham"?! To deny her Jewish roots? But why?!! I find her despicably dishonest and unethical. Her campaign tactics show us exactly what a underhanded, calculating, opportunistic, and shady person she is. I do not care that she is a woman. I have to sleep at night, knowing that I vote for a human being first, and a gender, second, and that if the person in question does not display exemplary human qualities, then this disqualifies her/him from being worthy of my vote (and for that matter, any vote).
