Although I like Hillary I cannot vote for her as long as Obama is in the race. Obama is more principled at this point in time.

He is correct in all aspects about the war in Iraq.

1. Kucinich is going to have a hard time
making everyone else in the race look too conservative (like he did in '04) as long as Obama is running. I think there are many other reasons to support Obama, but you named a very good one.

2. He's Definitely The Real Deal And I Look Forward To Seeing Him More Throughout The Campaign Season.
I like Hillary too, but I agree with you that Obama's most definitely more appealing of a choice.

3. I am a fan of Clinton and Obama

I have to agree with you about OBAMA at this point in time.

The other day I had left the tv on in my room and I could hear both of them speaking, one after the other.

His voice and his message just had a glow that made me believe there will be a New Day in America.

I dis not get that from her message and she is a great stump speaker.

She just sounded tired.

4. He's growing on me. I was very impressed to learn Saturday..
during his announcement speech that he was a community organizor and went to law school, NOT be become a millionaire lawyer but to equip himself to be a leader and do good works. That is very impressive.

5. Hillary might still be "for it" for all I know.
She seems to suggest that it is not being run correctly (duh)- but I cant seem to find a strong statement where she says never should have supported it for so long.

I've never, ever, even once heard Hillary respond to Bush/media like Obama did to Howard today- I'll be watching Obama based on that alone- he really showed that he can handle and shut-down those kinds of silly attacks.

6. besides that recent response to the direct question about the IWR
was bad. She was almost rude and condescending. I think that the question would not have been asked had she been clear and really protrayed the fact that she TRULY paid the price for it, BS! So someone had to ask her directly, shame on her, it kind of showed her true colors. Very unimpressive. I don't give a damn waht Carville and Begala say their paid pundit lackies.....

If she's the nominee, sure I'll vote for her, any Democrat over a Republican any day, we can'
t afford a Republican Cabinet more SCOTU Appointments, but I think she will not be a force to undue her husbands mistakes.

8. I'll support either one if..
..it gets to that point. However, we should hold Hillary's feet to the fire about the war vote, and we should check out Dennis Kucinich's web site for Sen. Obama's rather abysmal voting record. No, he didn't vote for the invasion. But, he voted for many other abominations that the administration has brought upon us.
In the meantime, I'll stay with Mr. Kucinich although clearly he has too much integrity for the job.
