experience vs change
can someone please explain to me why hillary clinton is the experience candidate? is it because she spent 8 years kicking off the whitehouse easter egg hunt? is it because she authored a universal health care bill which failed miserably? or is it because she spent one term more than Obama in the senate?
what political experience besides being first lady and a 2-term senator does she really have? Barack Obama started as a community organizer straight out of college. He served in the Illinois state congress before becoming a senator.
Hillary Clinton isn't more experienced. She's just been on television longer. She has more experience with lobbyists and special interest groups. We've seen that shes very disliked by republicans and wasnt able to get her universal health care bill passed. Why should we elect someone whom the republicans won't want to work with?
Barack Obama has co-authored and passed a number of bi-partisan bills. He does not have the DC-insider experience that Hillary does, but that's a Good Thing. I wish the media would stop perpetuating this notion that Hillary is more experienced than Obama, it just isn't true. Being first lady doesn't mean she's qualified to be President.

I totally love you.
I like Rudy Guiliani, but his campaign is completely puzzling me. Does he really want to win this, or is he just trying to pitch how great Florida is? Maybe he's going to move there and try to run after Jeb Bush leaves? Because forgetting, oh, THE WHOLE COUNTRY is just ridiculous. He knows he has to get THEM to like him too, right? I hope so, though it seems obvious that maybe... maybe he doesn't.
I've always liked John McCain because Democrats like him. I think he's a little war-happy, though. At least with GWB, you had no idea he was triggery when he was first elected. He had alcohol history, cocaine history, but he cleaned his life up, became a successful businessman, and turned the state of Texas around. He SEEMED safe! But McCain, we know what he's about now, and I think that his idea of devoting himself to finding Osama bin Laden might be a negative.
By far, I'm really starting to like Barack Obama. Forget his Washington inexperience, which I agree with you is absolutely ridiculous anyway. Republicans like him. Democrats like him. He gets what he needs to get done done. He wants to get out of Iraq, and is the only current candidate that can claim with 100% certainty that he would never have gone in to war, considering Hil's voting FOR going in.
Hillary sounds like Hillary. McCain sounds like McCain. Obama sounds... he sounds like a President.
i keep forgetting that Guiliani is running for president, it seems like he's running for Governor of Florida. It seemed a bit odd that someone's political career would go Mayor of city -> President of country. Granted NYC is -big- but it doesnt really represent the rest of the nation. Mayor -> Governor -> President seems like a more likely political path.
I'm so glad Hillary and Bill are getting called out for twisting the facts. Bill needs to take a step back and remember that he's running for president. It's starting to look like Hillary can't fight her own dirty battles so she's sending in her Man.
