When he initially announced his candidacy I was enthusiastically in support of Obama. He's bright, articulate, smart and seems to have a firm grasp of the issues. My only question about him is his lack of experience. He's only been a Senator for a short while.

Realistically, however, it appears that Hillary has the inside track, especially since Bill is heavily campaigning for her. Even with all his troubles with Monica Lewinsky he's still a very popular person, and he is a definite asset to his wife. I do, nevertheless, have some reservations about Hillary. She was once a Goldwater Republican, and I still think she carries some of Barry's old views. In addition she was once on the board-of-directors of Walmart, which is the largest non-union company in the world, which means she is no friend of organized labor. I don't see the AFL-CIO endorsing her.

John Edwards should be the favorite of Unions, but he's having trouble obtaining there support. I really do like Edwards, but I must wonder if he got elected and his wife were to become seriously ill ( she has cancer ), if his mind would be on his job.

As for the Republicans, I really do think Gulliani did a splendid job as Mayor of New York, even before 9/11. Romney's flip-flopping, McCain I think has lost a lot of his charm, Fred Thompson's a joke, and the rest should save their money and time.

I will just be glad to see January 20, 2009 come...Bush's last day!!!!!

I agree with your last line, could not agree more
