You can never be sure, you can never fully trust the people you hire to govern, or the people to be governed. What do you do? I've decided this year to believe. To believe that our country can be healed. I've decided to come off the fence, and declare my support for Barack Obama
"The 'we' we've been waiting for to come and fix our problems is us!" It's time to take back control of this country, and put the scoundrels who have damaged our country into jail where they belong! If you live in Washington, please attend your caucus today! Cosmo

I'm Really Struggling
Submitted by JstPlnOnry on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 11:30am.on who to vote for. I know I don't want Clinton in the White House but I'm really torn between the other candidates... It's almost so bad I'm tempted to just not vote at all!

Don't Want Clinton in the WH?
Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 12:17pm.Bizarre Comment
Submitted by JstPlnOnry on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 2:49pm.coming from you of all people Robert.
Why would I vote by alphabetical order over issues? Why would anybody?
As for Obama, I'm just not confident he's ready to run a country successfully. Talk is cheap and anybody can promise the world to win an election but delivering on all those campaign promises is a whole different story.
Look at the story about Clinton Touts Puget Sound Restoration As Top of Her List in the O today... Then read the comments. Everybody knows she's saying what she thinks we want to hear and then if she ever made it back to the White House she'd never give WA State or Puget Sound another thought.

Yeah, the experience thing
Submitted by Guglielmo on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 4:08pm.Great comeback!
Submitted by ctqwn on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 6:16pm.I heard Clinton supporters at my caucus today throwing out the "Obama's lack of experience" card. My response is that we've had Howdy Doody and his puppetmasters running (and screwing up) the country for nearly eight years, and you're concerned about Barack Obama's level of experience?
I would be much more concerned about Hillary's good-looking, silver haired, silver tongued 200 lb. baggage being too heavy for her to carry into the White House.
You Mean
Submitted by JstPlnOnry on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 7:15pm.her 200 lb. baggage full of stuff they allegedly stole and destroyed before leaving! LOL!

It would easier
Submitted by DJW on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 2:39pm.If the candidates would name people to all of the cabinet positions. In my opinion the president is nothing more than the 'talking head' for his advisors who I would assume are quite a bit smarter than he/she.
As for my candidate............. To be continued. (At this point I have no idea). I'm going to agree with Ornery and state that I'm tired of Clinton's in power. Time for a change.
