If Obama can weaken McCain's standing regarding foreign policy, he'll have an excellent chance of winning.

As it is, I'm quite happy he's besting McCain on the economy right now, considering it's now the #1 concern of voters.

Of course, Obama could make up for losing New Hampshire with a win in Mississippi- where Rasmussen now shows him down only 6 points.

"We've got to show him the facts on the ground."

Izat sum playing up the inexperience meme? I think it is.

Of course, McCain nearly flunked his sorry ass out of the Naval Academy, while Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review.

If she's so adamant that she would be the best president, maybe she should have run a better campaign.

If I understand such situations, it's usually the one losing a political contest who makes demands of the one winning.

McCain's getting off to a bad start here.

I'm actually surprised that Clinton does so well in Kentucky. Hasn't it been trending Republican in recent years?

Perhaps this says as much about McCain's lack of support among the traditional Republican coalition as it does about Clinton's newfound support from Appalachian voters.

This is one of the things I've never liked about Clinton and her campaign.

She's NEVER gone after McCain with force the way Obama does. She criticizes him, but it always seems reserved, and polite. Obama hits him with a sledgehammer.

So much for women voting Republican this fall.

If Cuba hasn't made 'fundamental reforms' in more than 40 years, it's apparent the current policy (i.e. the Embargo) is not working. A new approach must be sought, which seems, for the best results, to include some kind of diplomatic outreach on the part of the United States.

In short, SHUT UP MCCAIN!!

I would not be at all surprised if a significant percent of Novick's supporters are backing him precisely because he has a hook for a hand.

A hook-hand would certainly make me think about voting for someone (I would probably also have other reasons).
