I think the whole 2 party/electoral college system needs some shaking up in any way possible. I'm sick of all the hoopla too and we've got a whole helluva lot of campaigning/voting left. It would be nice to know if votes placed are actual votes counted (think Florida '02). The only chad I want to hear about is the African nation...not the hanging ones that need to be recounted...and recounted...and recounted. I’m really happy for Obama too.

I'm hoping he can keep up this winning streak. An Obama/Clinton ticket would definitely shake up the masses, but I just don't think it'll ever happen. At any rate, this is the most interesting presidential race we've had in decades, or ever. Obama winning in Iowa was like a breath of fresh air for me. I’m hoping he can keep up this winning streak.

I wonder will the face of a US President change the ideas people have on racism? High hopes, I know, but wouldn't it be a bit hard to say that you hate the figurehead of your country because of his skin color? I hope that Obama will come out on top.

I supported Edwards last time around, and if he doesn't get the nomination and Obama does, I'll support him. I'm just not a Hilliary fan.

By all accounts, Clinton and her campaign <b>despise</b> Obama. And I'm sure Obama and his campaign aren't terrible fond of her either. Besides, Clinton's narrative doesn't fit Obama's campaign. If Obama took Clinton as his VP, he would essentially be saying, "That whole change thing? Yeah, that was a joke."
