"Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama are the historic ones -- seeking to be the first woman or the first black man to become president. "

Y'know, I think it's just as dumb to vote for someone because they are black or female as it is to vote against someone for the same reason. Or to assume the white guy from the South will be "like all the others". That being said....

Hillary just comes with too much baggage for my taste. The perception of her being "status quo" has reasons to exist. And, just a reminder, she's not Bill.

And did I not hear Obama say Reagan was the answer to the Big Government Problem we had accumulated in the 60's and 70's.... as if those Big Government fears were actually true and not just the GOP talking points of the day? Before Reagan we were conserving energy and becoming self sufficient. Was this the Big Government problem Reagan saved us from? Driving 55? The 1st thing Reagan did was take down the solar panels off the roof of the White House. Has Obama forgotten Ronnie got elected by manipulating a hostage situation? Deficits anyone? Trickle down economy?

Obama thinks that was what was needed then? Talk about Repug-lite! Or was he pandering to swing Conservatives? At any rate that stupid revisionist history statement puts me off him big time.

Edwards may not be perfect, but he is by far the best choice.
