Our next President

Since Obama is clearly unelectable, can he nominate Hillary at the convention? She CAN beat McCain, and Obama could use the experience he will gain as VP for two terms. Otherwise, we must conclude that the Democrats WANT another Republican administration. In that case, I'm going to the GREEN PARTY!

Who says "Obama is clearly unelectable", besides you? No, Hillary can't beat McCain, and Obama can. We've had many fine presidents who people have felt "do not have the experience". In some cases ... like this one ... that can be a truly good thing. We want CHANGE.Not Washington DC business as usual. Your "conclusion" that Democrats want another Republican adminstration is a wrong conclusion. If you throw away your vote on a GREEN PARTY candidate ... then I am lead to believe that the people who think as you do, are the ones who are wanting another 4 years of the Republican party in office.

No matter how much $$$$$$$$$ he spends, there simply is not enough time for Obama to earn the trust of the 'vital center.' He cannot lead a nation when denying who he is or is not is a full time job. He and Hillary shared similar positions on the issues (until he turned RIGHT after the primaries), so what is the advantage to nominating a candidate with such little legislative experience and NO international experience in these times of fragile international relations. HILLARY is correct on the issues AND has the experience. HILLARY HAS EARNED the trust of voters by making the hard decisions when she is just as anti-war as Obama. HILLARY is FAR MORE LIBERAL AND PROGRESSIVE THAN OBAMA. HIS OWN CAREER WOULD BENEFIT FROM SERVING TWO TERMS AS HER VP. What is the benefit of selecting Obama because he talks pretty, or in the case of African-Americans, simply because he is black.

Actually, now that the Greens have nominated Cynthia McKinney, I can tell you I will not be voting for her.

Please know I have been honored by the Urban League and I am not a racist. I am Left of Liberal and a pragmatist.

Obama has been showing that he is nothing but another pol. He is even flipping on his flops. Yes, Hillary is the one to get him elected, but it will never happen. He is afraid of her and her abilities. If what is known about him now, was known during the primaries, he would have not lasted beyond the first primary. He belongs in church as a pastor, not in Washington as President. I am worried, oh so worried
