Here’s hoping we get a best-possible combination ticket to vote into the White House this fall: Obama/Edwards. We’ll really see some change then, and maybe we can finally put some of the Bush nightmare behind us.

I agree with Copyleft that an Obama/Edwards ticket would be the best thing for this country. Both men have worked hard for people of all ages and races, and I believe they would take this passion and devotion into the White House.

Amen to Copyleft!

Although I think an OBAMA-CLINTON or CLINTON-OBAMA is the most likely and would probably prove unstoppable

In Bush we trusted, now we are busted

Edwards practiced extortion by channeling dead babies with juries. The result? Higher health care costs due to rising medical malpractice premiums.

Obama is a good speaker and a pleasant person, but being a “community organizer” and first-term senator would make him the least qualified president in history.

But if these fellows make you feel good, go for it. Just don’t complain when your taxes go up, when illegal immigration changes our culture to where it’s unrecognizable, or when the U.S. is the victim of terrorist attacks in our country.

Just smile and say “but he has worked hard for all people of all ages and races”. Whatever that means.

I think you meant Edwards/Obama would be the best. At least thet would be good for me. Edwards/anything would make me happiest.

There has been a nearly complete focus on Clinton/Obama since the beginning of this campaign what with the “historic” nature of them and all. Yawn.

As a result many polling agencies have blindly ignored all other candidates. Even when Edwards came in second in Iowa, he was roundly ignored.

Obama and Edwards as running mates is interesting. I am with the people electing Obama and either Hilary or Edwards as his running mate.

And Bush was qualified, and look where that got us. “Experience” is apparently vastly overrated—it mainly means “well connected with big-money interests,” and that’s the last thing we should want in a president.

As for terrorist attacks: the last one came while Bush slept through all the warnings, did nothing during the attacks (other than run & hide), and then attacked the wrong target in response. I’m thinking it won’t take much to better THAT record.

Edwards has the best message; Obama has the best positioning. Together they’ll make an excellent “progressive” team to move America forward and leave the neocon failures where they belong… forgotten, in the trash heap.

Its Obama and Clinton. Edwards will at best be asked to be vice presidential running mate. Unless Obama and Clinton decide to run together and become unstoppable.

Thanks to the comments of experience being overrated. I agree and look at Bush. Did you all see it coming when you put him back in office. A change must come.

With web stats like this (Hillary vs. Barack), looks like Obama is a shoe-in:

Ron Paul would beat either Democrat and all of the “Republicans” if the media (including the AJC) would end their biased censorship.

I’m encouraged at seeing Ron Paul’s traction in Georgia and across the country as the race progresses. Even with out all of the media attention the projected leaders of the GOP race enjoy, Dr. Ron Paul continues to grow more popular as his supporters spread his virtues.

If you have not considered Ron Paul yet, just search him on Google and learn what everyone else in the country is excited about. Ron Paul is a conservative: Lower Taxes, Smaller Government, Less Regulations, Strong National Security, Responsible Monetary Policy and Individual Liberties. More importantly he has consistently followed those ideals throughout his private and civil life. I trust and respect Ron Paul!

ANYONE who wants the troops to be brought home MUST vote for Ron Paul on February 5th. The neocons have taken control of the Republican party and want to take control of the world. To stop them, vote for Ron Paul in the Republican primary (which you are allowed to do in GA as a Democrat or Independent).

Ron Paul is the only candidate left that said he wants the troops home today and not just from Iraq, from all over the world. We can’t afford to keep our troops all around the world like we are doing.

He is also the only candidate that Wants to put an END to the WAR ON DRUGS and PARDON all of those involved in a non-violent drug crime.

Goooooood morning/ maybe obama and the ghost of strom would be the best combo since there is some wood pile in both of them or if that doesn’t work maybe obama and billy graham and since billy says he is colored blind.

To all you ladies in here or to all those who REALY care about health care..Do you realy want a 44th MALE president??? Or do you want the FIRST FEMALE president?? We women had to wait 50 years to vote after the black males got to vote..Do we have to wait another 50 years before we have a woman president?? What a CHANGE it would be to finally have someone in there who understands what it is like to be the object of sexist remarks, to be paid much less than men do for same jobs, and much more..All men are running against Hillary, a Morman, a former minister, a black, a former senator, a current senator, and more..However, they are ALL men, regardless of their differences..It’s time for the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT!!!

I don’t think Obama or Edwards are good enough candidates for what this country is going through. We need someone with substance and stability and has a knowledge of what is going on. Neither of these men haven’t a clue except they want to see “change”. Edwards would be a better forerunner in the race than Obama. Obama is just in it to change the status quo because of his race, and that’s one of the main reasons why he is getting votes. If he wins due to his race or his ability to fix the country then that proves why Americans are truly dumb!

Obama and Edwards would be impossible for Repugnicans to beat. The clowns they are stuck with are a bunch of idiot lunatics. And their “comment page storm troopers” sound shrill and ridiculous. They would not be able to stop The Law Firm Of Obama And Edwards and we would see a Class Action Suit which has these corporation worshiping pigs truly shaking in their shoes. America will rise again despite all your ruination, Repugnicans. All true Americans would vote for Obama and Edwards and a RETURN TO LAW for this country after eight years of total corruption from the oval office on down.

I believe you’re telling the One G-d’s truth.

The “Briarpatch” Bre’r Rethuglicons desperately “don’t” want us to throw them in is Rockefeller-front, Iraq war-voting, Hillary. The scandal and want of personal integrity, and the absence of an arc in her life of honor and genuine service to the People says it all: She is a grasping, card-carrying member of the bi-partisan false-elite which has been the Bush/Cheney faction’s accomplice in the High Crimes and Treason they have been committing since January 2001.

Obama/Edwards is the ticket.

South Carolina was a Pyrrhic victory for Obama. Despite his best efforts he let himself be turned into the black candidate. He’ll win Georgia now but he’s lost the nomination.

I love how the libs/dems are finally showing their racist stripes. Looks like you guys have a lot of spade work to do on race. The best part is that it is on display for the whole country to see. Hill and Bill are racists. They have taken advantage of the black vote for decades. Now Bill is out there comparing Obama to Jesse Jackson. This is just too much.

We’ll see, won’t we? I think Hillary has enough negatives to be shoved aside when it comes to choosing the nominee.

(By the way, anyone who thinks that choice is up to us, the voters, is kidding themselves. The party leadership will decide, as they always do.)

Clinton is Rockefeller is Bush, and “Bruno” is “whistling past the graveyard” of the unrighteous, ignoble plutocracy fixing to go down with their latest gambit: trying to slip Hillary past the Electorate (watch out for Diebold) and an anointed American Man “of color.”

Listen to the Wind blowing through the Tory Oak.

Grab you seats, fascists, the bus is leaving and you and your fellowtravelers better be on it…

…and leave the money you stole from us at the door. Try making an honest living the next time.
