2008 Democratic Frontrunners

[GenevaPilgrim]

Looking back on this, does it ever blow your mind that Obama actually won? You mentioned the radical school & yet that seems mild compared to the things that were discovered a/b him as of late & yet America didn't care. I really think it could have come out that he was a former terrorist & he still would've won. Don't get me wrong-he ran a great campaign & his message of "change" really caught on but let's face it, at the time you made this we assumed Hillary was going to be our next president.

OMG BLINK SERIOUSLY

its really creepy :O

[humder]

Interesting watching this in hindsight.

LaRouche: 'Obama Will Get Chopped Down To Prepare Bloomberg Run'

Increase DecreaseJanuary 7, 2008 (LPAC) - Lyndon LaRouche was asked by a French member of the LaRouche Youth Movement yesterday what he though of Barack Obama after his Iowa caucus victory. He replied by situating the entire campaign as a farce being played by the hedge funds to get a Bloomberg candidacy:

[CheeezMaster]

It's called blinking, you robot.

[CheeezMaster]

why? would you like to be at war with iran?

[antiwarmom]

You're cute.

[67Fbirdman]

The Democrats don't have a serious candidate. This is worse than the last batch. I miss Lieberman.

[walshman64]

OOOO. great video on nothing.

[LJMmack]

You can vote for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards on deciderz(dot)com, a site that ranks politicians, past and present. You can also post comments there.

Joe Biden, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel are among other Democratic candidates that also can be voted for on deciderz.

Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore can be voted on, too!

To vote on deciderz, all you have to do is register and Fly Publishing will e-mail a log on password.

[barmpot1987]

Lovely eyes...but do you ever blink?

[bloganderson]

Do you ever blink?

[MidnightMike]

Great comments & right on the money. I look forward to your views on the Republicans

[NILgravity]

Gravel showed up to your dorm, and now you're basically stabbing him in the back by buying into this 'top tier' candidates.

[rockybalboa55]

so ur saying the only reason hes focusing on them is because there at teh top tier... mayeb he likes them more.... do u like u canidate just cause hes in teh lower tier, cause thats just as bad

[NILgravity]

fair enough I did assume he was going by popularity. though I still think it's a fair assumption.

[godislove92]

you suck emergencycheese, vote BARACK OBAMA 2008!

[utubeusername7734]

uh... no one answered any questions. why cant we force congress to pass a law allowing us to vote AGAINST candidates...then we might get some real ones

[berliita]

My current YouTube viewer's project is an EmergencyCheese marathon. I plan to watch all your postings from the beginning (i've only watched your postings from the last couple of weeks). I don't intend to watch them all at once. Probably three or four clips every day. I'll leave a comment every seven clips.

Well, here goes...

[boo1312]

You make excellent point...thanks!

[Cerebus555]

Smell the effin coffee.  Would you vote for a guy with a middle name "Hussien"? Dude, lighten up this is YouTube, not NPR

[charlied1989]

Oh Shut up dude

[beckweth]

Clinton is a Bilderberger. Look up Bilderberg - see who is really setting policy and running this world. It's a one party system with two faces.

[Champlaain]

obama is the only person running (who has a chance) that is still human. the rest are full blown politicians.

[votegilmore20]

I'm republican so it doesn't matter for me who wins the democratic nomination, but why do you think obama has a bigger chance than hilary?

[skylarportland]

It is because she "is a Clinton". She could be the top, most intellectual, experienced person out there and she will still lose to Obama others would say. She honestly outbeat Obama in the first debate, but nobody wants to admit it. She wouldn't be my pick, but at least be honest about it people!

[brent3234]

Have you overlooked Dennis Kucinich? He has opposed the war in Iraq from the start, and sent out an analysis criticising the resolution for the Iraq war to members of Congress. If you havn't already considered Kucinich, you will be pleasantly surprised to find a real human who has consistantly opposed the war in Iraq and fought for Univeral Health Care, workers rights, peace, and enviornmental protection amongst other things.

[deucepac]

ANYONE BUT HILLARY!!!!

[RogCBrand]

With such an early start to the campaigning, and a large crowd of candidates, there may be some big surprises in the next year. I wonder what the chances are for some relative unknown to jump in after the present runners have spent a lot of time beating each other over the head?

[DblOSmith]

Interesting points.

[chadely]

KUCINICH IS THE MAN!

[andrew197553]

but he's just a little guy. (quote from tommy boy)

[saveferris4734]

Can you please retitle your video "kissing Hillary's ass?" You think Barack's campaign is doomed by fox news attacks? Yikes.

[Lexdisya]

I agree that I would like the media to cover Richardson more, but using his race as a selling point for his campaign is dumb. How about focusing on his experience (as you rightly did) and his policy positions.

[Nominay]

The media (and I will include you as a part of it) cannot force people to like Bill Richardson.

[quixoto]

And on paper he just seemed like the perfect candidate. Too bad Americans don't read.

*ZING*

[Nominay]

of course there's no such thing as a perfect candidate .. at this point it's only better that our cynicism increase to where we like no one

[tulleskirt]

How's the weather up there in your ivory tower?

[goliathishere]

Barack Obama.I believe Barack Obama has the best skills and ability to bring people together to solve the problems facing America.

With all the partisan politics these days we need someone like Obama.

I think people need to listen to him and give him a chance before they just jump on the Clinton bandwagon. Some people say he does not have enough experience. Barack Obama may have less political experience but I believe life experiences are very important also.

[andrew197553]

it really doesn't matter, obama would never be elected by the country as a whole. (not because he's black), it's because he's a little too liberal.

[dragon1758]

Experience is good, but isn't everything. George Bush has experience, Cheney and Rumsfeld have experience up the wazoo, and yet they have pretty much screwed over this country.

Barack Obama, being a new, fresh candidate, brings a certain amount of hope for major change that Hillary just can't muster, especially after she makes statements that confuse voters about her war stance.

[DblOSmith]

...and about how she feels about homosexuality.  I agree 100%.

[andrew197553]

if obama gets the nomination, us democrats dont have a chance in winning a general election. its an unfortunate fact. same thing with hillary, we need better candidates or we lose.

[dragon1758]

I don't believe that's true. Whenever I talk to people, young people and older people, about the election, most people I talk to (Republicans and Democrats) say they would vote for Obama.

[chimaster123]

GOD DAMN IT! ITS NOT ABOUT WINNING AND LOSING andrew197553!

These people are running for the highest office in the land, maybe even on the entire planet, its not about "what party he/she is in" or "what race/sex they are"

people need to stop looking at this whole thing the way we've been doing it for the past 50 years or so.

Look at other candidates like mike gravel and ron paul

its about who can best serve as president, not if hes a democrat or republican

[andrew197553]

but if he is a democrat, then he has certain beliefs that i dont agree with. so it does matter if he's liberal or conservative.i prefer conservatives because they represent the people who work hard in this country.i dont see liberalism as a way to go.unless you want america to turn out like europe.

[691rrussell]

thats a ridiculously biased view

and a ridiculously bigoted one at that. Liberals arent hard working? what the hell? How dare you!

you base your beliefs off of assumptions and hear say, do your own fucking research

and for your knowledge, im a libertarian

[andrew197553]

libertarian? thats slang for liberal right. ha!

[BigDaddy1968]

Some liberal/liberatarian wrote: "GOD DAMN IT!"

Whooops! So much for Libs being 'Christians.'

LOL!!!

Thanks for playing,

[bergujac88]

Anyone but Hilary

[RoddyYoung]

Bill R for the Dollar.

[RoddyYoung]

over several decades, ha ha ha. Well put wit.

[Darkxeus]

I find it funny that some people think they know what is really going on in the world, yet cannot see what is actually there. Although, good points were made...nothing mentioned is even truly what will decide the coming election.

[FrankiFairy]

I find it so interesting as an English citizen to see how serious Americans take elections.

In England, when we are electing a new prime minister, it is not taken that seriously in my opinion.

It is amazing that politicians have now decided to use youtube to front their campgains.Not only does this show that they are relating to the younger generation of today, but understand that on here they will get their message across more. Freedom of speech truly lives on.

[nukepuppy]

well electing the leader of the planet is a lot harder and therefore more "serious" than a puppet.. per your example.

[RedJesper]

Hilary will just send Republicans into a "anyone but Hilary" mode.

[retort007]

get the word out on richardson!

[rockybalboa55]

John Edwards wants the nomination more.... JRE 08

[republicanconfederat]

i dont like any of am hilary dosent need experince to win she will win and win big in a primary she is a scary women god help america if she becomes president

[republicanconfederat]

i dont like anyone the democrats want to throw out but i especialy dont want hilary her husband was bad she will be worse and then there is barak obama a person with not enough experince 2 years in the senate and he thinks hes got all the qualifacations to run for president and i dont care if hes black are not but there are some dang evil people who are going to care and that will hurt him then john edwards now him i just plain dont like so lets see what happens

[krieD]

[jaydam1]

I sense this guy wants to prove something...That he's a damn good reporter.. Which ever media network that didn't wanna give him a job....just give it to him already! I mean He's got good teeth for crying out loud.

Obama 2008, all the way!

[chrispollock]

All the money and experience in the world won't make you appealing to voters or a good president. Obama is intelligent, articulate and has a positive, inspiring vision that people are drawn to. His attraction crosses racial and economic class boundaries. His lack of experience is made up for by all of his awesome qualities and grace. Obama all the way

[Steve4206]

Why the hell do we have to listen to the "news media " anyways They pick and choose who they want as a front runner .I think we need a President lke Dennis Kucinich and if the media came out and said that Dennis The Green party canidate & The Libatarian party canidate were the front Runners THEY WOULD BE!! AND YOU WOULD BE SAYING BARAK WHO ?

[jamesbondsv]

I think you did a good job with this video. Edwards can suck it.

[toddh19821982]
