Obama - top rung, whooping handed to Clintons Options

[Hellfighter]

Obama lays smack down on Clinton. [s.Carolina]
My allegiance to H.Clinton's 'power' of getting her way started slipping when she voted in Senate last year to give Bush the all clear to strike Iran at his whim -ie, before the latest intel came out revealing the reality of nuke program there. Then her 'crying game' was a cheesy ploy, and finally her good cop/bad cop routine with Billy Boy throwing in sleazy nation dividing tactics into the contest was too much in my books.... So I can't get my preference 'Biden' so I'm swinging to Obama and his 'hope' for change to a new path for America- he's reaching out to bring everyone together compared to Clinton's pandering to demographics just for the pure sake of winning for themselves.

This things warming up bigtime- I'm still not sure if super Tuesday coming up will be the decisive factor -things can still swing around for everyone.
How are all of you finding the race lately?

I think Edwards needs to drop out. It's obviously a two person race for the Dem ticket. Right now, he's wasting millions of dollars that as he put it, "I just want to help all those less-fortunate in our country"... blah, drop out and send them money then.

Hillary is scared. I'm sure she thought she'd sweep through all the primaries and all the Dems would bow to her. The fact that Barack is giving her a real run, makes it interesting. She's starting to realize this is it... if she doesn't beat Obama, she'll never be president... well, unless the Republican party wins the election, then she can run again. I don't think she can wait 8 years though, if the Dems win.

All and all, I like Obama and his ideas more than Clinton's. Not that she'd be a horribly bad president, I'm just not sure about her past voting and then what she's promising... it's very hypocritical. Her plan to get all US forces out of Iraq in 60 days? Please. It just can't happen, even if we gave up and retreated... no way you can get that many people, equipment, etc out of a country that fast. Unless you went scorched earth.

I'm hoping Obama goes to the show and it'll be interesting to see who he chooses for a running mate. I liked Biden and think he'd fit in nicely.
