I like my democratic presidential nominees like I like my coffee...

Obama hasn't passed one piece of legislation. Sure it's easy to SAY what you stand for. But he hasn't proved anything about what he stands for. Most politicians have political backgrounds with bills they've passed and proposed. Obama has basically nothing to his name.

Dear God, I hope not. She needs to just exit the political scene. Like, forever.

She needs to exit the living scene. Sweet Jesus, I hate that woman.

Okay. Aside from the obvious counter that if he never did anything the people of Illinois wouldn't have elevated him to the US Senate, one of the most prestigious elected positions in the country, Obama has done plenty.

And until people start looking at them like that, we're just perpetuating the issue.

And what bothers me the most is... Would Obama really be as far as he is, if he wasn't "black." I mean, he's as good a candidate as any the democrats could offer, but really.... he only stands out from the others because he is "black." Clinton only stood out because she's female.

I agree with the general sentiments here; it shouldn't matter what someone's race, religion or gender is, what should matter is how well they'll do the job they're up for. However having said that, if the fact that someone is black or a woman has encouraged people who might not normally take an interest in politics to take an interest in politics and inform themselves on the issues or get involved politically, I think there's at least a good by-product there.

Obama has avoided talking lobbyists' money throughout his campaign and now he is asking the whole DNC to do the same. That's probably already a step in the right direction.

I find it interesting that people can just lie off their faces and get away with it.
