    • Marilynn, I do believe it matters what kind of Democrat is in the White House. Call me cynical but I do not trust the Clintons. And the fact that I just referred to them as the Clintons reveals another problem: they come as a package, and that seems like a recipe for disaster. WHO exactly would be the President? I think we're seeing some of that dynamic in play right now and it's very disconcerting.

    • I understand your passion behind John Edwards but don't you think that if he was really meant to be the democratic candidate he would have a bit more support. I think that even though the media weighs in a lot on how we "should" vote; a good percentage of people in this country are educated enough to make their own decisions.

    • Honestly? No, I don't because the media is going to have chosen whoever for us. On an honest level playing field John Edwards would be president, and I refuse to vote for their choice. I won't dignify dishonesty by participating in a farce of Democracy.

    • Doesnt anyone think that HONESTLY no matter what Democrat ends up getting the nomination; we are in pretty good shape. All of them are qualified and committed to running this country for the people of this country; no matter how dirty politics become...they all have the people of this country in mind!

    • smorrisey, How? Do you think Janet Reno helps Clinton? Ted may endorse Obama, but RFK Jr. endorses Clinton. The polls still show Edwards beating every Republican. Clinton and Obama beat none.

    • The distinction between Obama and Clinton cannot be sharper these days.

      As I peruse the many editorials, news articles, political and news websites, this is what I find:

      When Clinton is being discussed, all the talk is about their internal politics, Bill's legacy, the problematic specter of a "Co-Presidency", and of heir below-the-belt tactics, etc.

      When Obama is being discussed, the focus shifts to the American people, the citizens of the United States, and what his candidacy means for the history of our country. There is frequent mention of how citizens form all walks of life, age, race, and social class are inspired towards action by Obama's message and what it means for the direction of our country.

      For me, the decision of who to support is a no-brainer.

      American politics should be, simply, about the people. And politicians ought to be public servants who work honestly on our behalf.

      But the greatest of politicians do something else: they spur us on to reach for something greater than ourselves, a higher purpose.

      This election should never, ever be about the self-serving 'legacy' (whatever it has been, is, is not, or will not be) of the Clintons or their internal affairs.

      To the contrary, Obama shows a mirror to the people in which they can see their greatest hopes, their greatest possibilities, and that we can reach for what know is possible.

      And that, is what we need right now, more than anything.
