When listening I get this feeling if we can get him elected maybe just maybe there is hope after all. I can honestly say I have never been more passionate about politics than this,
True, I am passionately preparing to move to Taiwan judging by the contenders from both parties.
so much I am actually worried what will happen if the same party is elected.
Or the other party.
I am so sick and tired of war the bashing of people with different ideals, or who question the government only to be blasted by the media and called sympathizers.
QFFT
The Republicans had their chance it's time to give the Democrats a turn and see what they can do.
The same thing?
Hopefully humanity won't fail me this time on this subject.
Welcome to the United States of America.

Obama combines a simple and compelling message, with gritty nuance and command of the very real problems facing the world. Most of all he understands that America doesn't function in a vacuum, that the world is one body, and each part contributes to her healthy funtioning.
It is a singularly powerful message: the world faces near intractable problems, but hope in the future is never misguided.

That's a great talk I hope his figures in polls will be closer to what they are in Germany by the time of the election.

Part of the hope based on his campaign fund raising strategy is that when he makes it to office, he will be less accountable to lobbyists than any previous modern president.
I like that we're focused on registering new voters right now more than anything else.

The last 4 democratic presidential campaigns were run poorly. Clinton only won because of Ross Perot. This isn't stupid celebrity crap (although there is a lot of that still), this is a grass roots part of the campaign.

I'm actually excited about both candidates. Perhaps that is due to the Bush situation but I think both are an improvement, big time.

if you think mccain is a big improvement to bush you either are not following the campaigns carefully or are choosing to selectively ignore the majority of what gets reported.

from the little that i know obama sounds like mccain except a he's black and a socialist

No matter what, the president will always do a poor job, and no matter who the president is, the same job will be more or less done. It is this reasoning that has made me think of the president as just a ceremonial role, the embodiment of the people, aka the Head of State. And if it comes down to McCain and Obama for that role, then Obama all the way.

Are you attempting to be funny? Or do you really have no clue what a socialist advocates?

I hate Obama's desire to tax the wealthy into oblivion, but whatever, might as well give the other party a chance. Honestly, if the Democrats can't win in November, they will never win a presidential election.

Obama has a desire to "tax the wealthy into oblivion"?
The tax policies he's advocated have shit on Wilson, Harding, Hoover, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, and Carter in that regard.
