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 believe there is definately a calling for change and this could trickle over into the Congress voting as well. Many people are starting to see that Clinton isn't about change. I think that she set out to prove that a woman could be a lawyer, congresswoman, and then president, starting back in the 70's. Nothing wrong with that at all, but her plan has been to go with the flow with the "boys club" to show them that she's just like them. That's not change at all.

I do like how Obama seems to be upfront with his skeletons, etc. When asked about smoking pot, "yes, I inhaled... that was the point" I thought that was great that he's owning up to it and moving on. Personally I don't think America cares about candidates pasts. We voted in Bill Clinton who evaded the draft and smoked pot. We voted in George Bush who was an alcoholic with DWIs and a cocaine charge. It should be about how they can help our country now, not 2 decades ago.
