McCain and Obama boost their leads

Thank goodness! | 12:50 a.m. Feb. 20, 2008

The McCain train is out of the station. It is rolling now. He will attack attack attack Obama. He already is attacking Obama. Same old politics.

Obama's train is chugging forward, not yet out of the station but moving. He is offering change and hope. New way of looking at things.

I wonder who will win in November.

PS -- McCain needs to find the perfect vp because at age 71 the people will start to question his ability to be president. Obama needs to publicly ask Hillary to be his vp. If she says NO, then it is off to Edwards. If she says YES, then the two need to be seen together having a formal dinner and then later eating tacos at a state fair.

The Shadow Knows.

Agreed, NEVER another Clinton in that House. Obama and McCain both have some serious issues, but what politician doesn't? Obama is much more classy than McCain when it comes to getting elected. How can anyone honestly love McCain for what he says and does to other candidates...it's so wrong!

How about Joe Biden for VP? Or how about Tom Udall?
There are a lot of great choices out there that would bring a lot more to an Obama administration than would Hillary Clinton

Now we are going to see Hillaryï¿½s scorched earth policy, slash and burn. If she canï¿½t win then her policy is to destroy everything and everyone including the Democratic Party. She is willing to loose her legacy and her dignity all in the name of power. I feel really bad for her if she does this she will regret it later in life.

Here is a great argument for Obama. Google Obama Mormons yes we can no you can't. If you're still undecided check this out. I'm so excited about Obama's win last night. If you're still one of those buying into the "all he can do is deliver a speech" mentality, please go to his website. It shows where he stands on the issues. I'll even go to McCain's website so I can become further informed.

Clinton | 9:22 a.m. Feb. 20, 2008

If I were Obama, I'd do everything in my power to ensure no back stabbing Clintonites managed to worm their way into my campaign. It's no secrect the John Kerry campaign, which was almost impossible to lose considering the public sentiment over Bush at the time, was poorly managed, and often ill-advised. And who were Kerry's advisers? Old time Clinton allies.

Make no mistake. Billary have their eyes on the White House. They did everything under the table they could to derail the 2004 democratic campaign so as to not delay Hillary's '08 campaign. If they fail to win the nomination this go round, they will again apply their ilk to derail the Obama campaign such that Hillary would then have one last shot in 2012.

The worst thing Obama could ever do is to name Hillary as running mate. She knows she can wait only four years max for a second chance.

Agreed--Obama needs to pull off wins in Texas and Ohio and send Billary back to the NY Senate. For the good of the country and her party, she needs to.

From the left or the right perspective, getting rid of the Clintons will be an upgrade for this country.

my two cents | 1:14 p.m. Feb. 20, 2008

Walter 8:59 infers that Hillary has dignity and a legacy worth losing. I doubt either is true. She's a far leftist. McCain is a leftist, and Obama looks a lot like Castro, IMO. I won't say what Huckabee is; I think it kept my earlier comment from being posted.

Utah for Obama | 1:36 p.m. Feb. 20, 2008

Now that Huckaberry is dissolved, and the feminist Witch is far behind the final battle is about to begin.
Obama was incredibly smart to use Oprah. Who could be better to represent your campaign? I am sure McCain won't be using his good friend, golfing buddy, and dedicated supporter Alice Cooper to represent his campaign. It would be funny if he did and maybe he could be his spokesperson to keep McCains supporters from falling asleep. I refuse to vote for McCain and I am disappointed in Romney supporting him. I will vote for Obama!
