I was talking to my mom today. She was telling me that she hasn't felt this way about a candidate since JFK. She says it's amazing to see how one person can have an effect on so many diverse groups of people. I'm Obama all the way.

For the undecided people (or even the decided :D ), take this short quiz to see which candidate your views align with.

Mine was Ron Paul - which didn't surprise me at all. :)

Be careful taking "opinion" surveys of this type too seriously. Most sites of this type, Votechoose in this case, don't explain to the quiz-taker the "weight" they've given to the choices you make. So you really have little idea of the "bias" they've assigned your choices.

Thank you for that, HoneyKiss. I was going to vote for Edwards but now that he is out, I've been really undecided. The vote chooser helped me, even if I'm voting for someone I don't necessarily love.

WHAT 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?


The Facts:

Senator Barack Obama
1996-2004 (Illinois State Senator)
2005-2008 (United States Senator)
12 Years of Elected Office Experience

Senator Hillary Clinton
2001-2008 (United States Senator)
7 Years of Elected Office Experience
(FYI George W. Bush had 6 years in office before the presidency)

Barack Obama is more experienced to be President of the United States.

35 - 7 = 28 years of zero elected office experience for Hillary Clinton.

Again, what 35 years of experience is Hillary talking about?

Here are the remaining 28 years

8 Years (Lawyer)
12 Years (First Lady of Arkansas)
8 Years (First Lady of the U.S.)
28 Years of Zero Elected Office Experience
I thought I was the only one wondering what she was talking about.

I took the quiz on votechooser and I'm an Obama Girl! :D But I already knew that! LOL! :D

txdiva 02-05-2008 08:09 PM
Surprisingly, I'm an Obama Girl, too! :D

RedefinedDiva 02-05-2008 09:05 PM
Obama is predicted to have won Georgia and Illinois! He's the MAN!! :D

BlessedOne04 02-05-2008 11:40 PM
Hilary is winning alot of states. Barak really needs California.

I have to get this off my chest:
If one more person came up to me yesterday and said Vote Obama, they were so going to get snapped on. And if I tell you who I voted for, do not give me the side-eye. I will vote for whoever I feel. Also, do not tell me that I am no longer Black because I didn't vote for Obama. Shoot, I'll vote for Mitt Romney, if that's what I feel is best.

I understand some people are a little excited, but please have some have some business about yourself.

Thanks,
Management

I believe that this shows that he cares about everyone, not just the big money or big vote states. Of course there were people attending the rallys from other states like PA, MD and NJ which is also a Super Tuesday state.
He also took the time to come to MN Saturday to a standing room only crowd of 20,000. And it paid off.

Hillary has ticked off some of the old Dem guard here by coming on Sunday to a small venue and acting as if MN really didn't matter. We may not have a huge number of delegates, but she forgets this is the home of Humphrey and Mondale. And those old guard (Humphrey's descendents) still have friends in the party. Bad strategy Hill and Bill.

Oh btw, in spite of Super Tuesday, I am still and independent and have yet to choose a candidate since Edwards dropped out. But an Obama/Edwards ticket does appeal to me. But I need Obama to be more concrete about his plan for universal health care.

He had better won Illinois. :D

observations from last night...
 
Obama won 12 of 22 states;
Despite not capturing California or NY, Obama about broke even with HRC in delegates earned last night;
According to exit polling, white men (J. Edwards' absence?) and to a lesser extent, Hispanics, are beginning to trend toward Obama;

Obama carried the Dem primaries in Idaho and Alaska .....yeah, Idaho.

I think I read that Obama reported $32 million raised for January. (Reports estimated HRC at around $10m). Money follows momentum.

...could make for a really interesting November.

His margin of victory in Illinois was larger then Clinton's margin of Victory in New York, which I find interesting.

It paid off in Delaware, too :)
