I cannot think of one thing that Hillary Clinton has changed, except perhaps her mind on just about every issue, including the war.

Obama has one thing the Clintons don't have and wouldn't recognize if it dropped on their toes: integrity.

How many debates do you need before you can make up your mind on him? That's his point. His whole life is a legacy of change and opportunity and that is exactly what he's trying to relay to people. There comes a point when you've had all the debates in the world and the issues are still there waiting to be tackled. You have to decide then, which candidate has the ability to implement change in a way that moves this country in a forward direction. In that respect, Lizben08, there's only Obama.

I started this campaign agreeing because he does TALK a lot about change. Then I realized he has no plan for change, he has no record of change (indeed he has a record of old politics, Chicago style). Then I looked at Hillary with a record of change and fighting for America. I changed and will stay with Hillary!

If you (Lizben08 and Elenora8) were to listen to Sen Obama compared to Hillary. You can tell right off the back that Obama discusses more about "Change" then Hillary does. He focuses on the matter like any presidential candidate does, and he does not stoop down the negative politicks that Sen Hillary takes. He is constantly defending himself against the media and from Sen Hillary, but fortunately he still gets to deliver his thoughts and ideas for when he becomes president. Thank you.

I'm just not convinced that Barack cares about all of America or that he has the experience, record or friends we need in a President. His refusal to debate the North Carolina issues, just tells me he doesn't care. We need someone that is willing to talk to us and fight for us. I vote Hillary Clinton.

[elenora8]

He can stand up their and point that finger whinning like some little college kid..if he thinks ABC treated him unfair why does he refuse to debate her anywhere and anytime?? Why cluck cluck cluck cluck...Now Hillary even offered to debate him with a moderator for 90 mins they just ask eachother questions what was his response cluck cluck cluck cluck......

[lizben08]

Obviously doesn't want America to know much about his past. Has lots to hide.

[StopObamaNow]

Since he considers himself the "frontrunner" even though neither candidate can get enough delegates for the nomination, then it is time he finally faced a little scrutiny. He has not been truthful about who he is and what he believes in!

[wqvsaa]

Allow me to interpret what obobo meant when he said "it took us 45 minutes before we even started talking about an issue that really matters."

Obobo did NOT get to say "Hope" and "CHANGE" 100 times so now he is whinning like a little sissy.
