    Ummm... You do realize that the Democrats and Republicans have separate primaries right?

    Hillary and Obama are winning the [democratic] primaries because they are the only two democratic candidates. They aren't running against anyone else - especially not a republican (I'm assuming that's the "change" you're referring to).

    You think having a woman or black president will be revolutionary? I think it will be more revolutionary when more Americans understand the process of actually electing said president. Unfortunately we seem to be headed in the other direction.
    It's been headed the wrong way for some time now. Do they even teach basic civics in school anymore? Maybe the question should be does anyone pay attention?

      You know, at first I was a little sad by the quote above by 4thandalonglongwaytogotosane.

      But then the humor of someone so earnestly and excitedly describing democrats winning "almost all" of the democratic primaries as "astounding" set in, and I do have to say I think it might be worth Americans forgetting how elections work if we can have more moments like this to share.

          Sneaky like a fox or sneaky like the crabs? I don't even know what the hell you're talking about.

            Obama, McCain, Clinton

            There isn't a solid leader who deserves to be president in the group.
            I'm not going to get caught up in the "first Black man or woman President" fever. I don't care what race or gender the next president is, they just need to be able to command the respect of the House, Senate, and other world leaders, relate with people from every income, fix healthcare, the national debt, and illegal immigration. I'm also not thrilled that America has become the world police. Bring all of the troops home except the ones that are in Iraq right now.
            Is this to much to ask? probably. It seems like this country got in way over its head a long time ago.

              No president has been a POW. Lets vote McCain to right that wrong.

                  Just because he was a POW doesn't mean that he's fit to be Commander in Chief. Sure, I admire and respect the guy for all he's done, but kids come back from Iraq everyday with their limbs blown off. Why not elect them president?

                    Thanks for reiterating my point.

                      No, I'm pretty sure it won't. My brain works on very limited resources, and I have no inclination to decipher riddles. Never mind. I understand. Look at that. I'm marginally less dumb than I previously thought. I thought what you're referring to was obvious. It has been weeks after all. Not as obvious as all the titties bouncing around here lately, but not really a riddle either.

                        Name three people you'd rather see become president.

                        EVERY election people claim all the candidates suck. Nobody survives a primary or general election without getting picked apart, fairly and unfairly.

                          I would choose Flava Flav over Obama right now as a viable presidential candidate. I like his catchphrase more and he knows how to negotiate with whores.

                            There aren't 3 perfect candidates that i have in mind, I'm just not crazy about the big 3. My vote is between Huckabee and Obama. Since Huckabee isn't going to make it that far I guess that leaves Obama.
                            I already stated what I expect my perfect president to accomplish (in 2 terms) in my previous post. I have very little faith that Obama or the others will be able to do these things.

                              you only get to elect a human being. your only hope is to create a robot that you control. a manchurian candidate.

                                What many seem to be trying to say is the two PEOPLE vying for the Dem nomination are not nearly as qualified as some would like. The history that might be made will be news for about a month, then our new leader will have four years of hard work ahead of them. Personally I am hoping the next President elected will be the most qualified to fix some problems. If they happen to be black or female, great, but I am more concerned about what they do, not who they are.
