I think Obama is ok but, he is just not ready to lead our country out of this mess. He is a great orator but, he is losing ground with me because of his constant downgrading rhetoric of Hillary. Hillary can beat the Republicans and get Americans back to work. And make us better allies around the world. I believe this!

barbara, galion, usa/ohio

In the end all that counts is that a democrat gets in office. anyway the all time lows have already been hit.

LP, london, england

For those who recall the great Peter Sellers movie "Being There", which character does Barack Obama remind us of? Yes of course, Chauncey Gardener. He was the man who, like Obama, spoke platitudes about "growth in the spring" that important people took as wisdom. He ended up as President of the US. Life imitates art.

Jerry, seattle, usa

Race, gender, race, gender, black man vs white woman. This is all everyone is talking about. To be frank I really dont care what they look like, I want to know their plans for the U.S and it's international policies! For all I know Obama could be an axe murderer and Clinton a megalomaniac! But all anyone cares about is whether the black man will beat the white woman! Wake up everyone and focus on what they actually represent!

James, Bournemouth, UK

He reminds me of Tony Blair. The only good thing about Tony was that he was here and not running America.

M Bridgman, Norwich, UK

Its a shame that our voters are so gullible as to jump on the Obama bandwagon. We are going to be stuck with another inept President if he is elected. He preaches Change but offers no capability of delivering it.....because he is inexperienced, unqualified and basically a big bag of hot air. But there are so many people in the US that can be led around like sheep. Its unfortunate and its the downfall of our country.

Anne, Kenosha, Wisconsin USA

Obama is all talk and no detail -- great for the young. Just tell them they get all this stuff and it's all paid for by the wealthy and do it with enough flowery rhetoric to make them forget to ask how. Most of his plans are so naive they are an embarrasment to the Democratic party. If we do not get Hillary in we can just about concede to McCain now. They are making minced meat of Obama on right-wing radio already.

George, Washington, DC

Obama reminds me of Elmer Gantry.

akbar, Cambridge , UK

Thing with Obama, he inspires me to affect change myself and I live in London, UK. He gives me hope, that maybe I personallycan transcend the odds against me, vested interests, nepotism, even racial bias. He will be successful in office because he will inspire US, the people,all around the world to make change happen. I believe that Barack Obama is the right person to be leader of the free world and the United States of America.

Amanda, London,

Change is comming....

Uche George, London, England

Please take a look at Obama's voting record during the two, yes only two, years in the Senate. The most consistant vote is NV - not voting. I fear the man is all pie in the sky and no substance.

Linda, New York City, USA

ann, Pasadena, CA re your comment on Bill from Singapore, the US may not care what the rest of the world is thinking but what he means is that whilst America is heading towards possible recession China, Russia (and in my opion potentially India) are more than likely to become the next big super states/nations like America once was. Its called the bigger picture ;)

Rachel, London, London

Obama should be the ticket next time - he's far too inexperienced right now and all having him as a candidate will do is let the republications in again. Bad enough having an embarrassment in the White House for the last 2 terms, this will condemn the US and the world to a geriatric embarrassment for the next term!

Judith Blair, Cambridge, UK

"once McCain makes Obama's state/senate record public, Obama is done ..."
K Fergie, Toronto, Canada

Elected Officials voting records are Public information in the United States, and most other free Democracies, silly.

joe, socorro, USA/Texas

Barak is the only real canditate who can help America mend its poor relationship with most of the world. Unlike Bush who stinks of overconfidence and arrogance, Obama is a real human being with bags of empathy and humility. Exactly what you guys need right now.

AD, Glasgow, Scotland

Having had a modest political career myself there is no doubt that long exposure to the 'political machine' taints a candidate -it was Disraeli who said something to the effect "forget your principles, stick to your party" (I probably paraphrase badly but that was the sentiment).

Obama may give the impression of relative inexperience but if he has intelligence, wit and determination he would probably achieve far more than someone already into the scheming of big politics. The crunch is whether he can be his own man when the pressures mount from advisers, civil servants and lackeys - only US voters can judge that.

When electing a President you are electing for possibly/ probably eight years - so you have to ask whether you are electing someone who is and always will be what they are 'now' or someone who will grow in stature and experience. Obama doesn't look like another Bush to me - Bush is a world joke outside his own US support. The US can't do worse than the past 7 years.

steve mercer, Lot, France

It would be a tragerdy, should Obama win the election. Miss Clinton may lack in charm, but she is the only candidate, democrat or republican, offering concrete changes and although the world seems to be forgeting this, concrete change is everything that americans and America needs.

Keir, Leeds, UK

As J B Sheffield says: people state that Obama does not have the experience, what experience did Tony Blair have in 97?
True. And despite that lack of experience he managed to successfully trash the country in only ten years!

Martin, Welwyn Garden City, England

This contest reminds me of something I read in the mid 90's about the '92 election, when Bill Clinton defeated George Bush Senior. The writer said that in every election people either vote for continuity or for change, and that Bush's misfortune was to be a continuity candidtate at a time when people wanted change.
Ironically, I think that Hillary is now in the same bind. She's a very good candidtate, and I believe she'd make a good President, but she's a continuity candidate through and through. That's why she keeps on about her experience. Obama promises change, and people are flocking to him. In another year Hillary could have swept to power, but the zeitgeist is against her.

Richard Briscoe, Amersham, England

I think the rest of the World is looking for change from the only superpower, so much coverage in the media in Europe.

I think President Obama will go down well outside the USA.

Si, Abergavenny, Wales

We keep hearing that 'Hillary is experienced' - that's like saying that the au pair knows what it's like to be married. She has only three areas of experience a) a lawyer involved in questionable real estate deals b) a failure at healthcare reform and c) a two term Senator. It is her Senatorial experience that is the only thing that counts as positive and here she has the same experience as Obama - except that she wasn't very good at making decisions whilst in that position!

Ian Thompson, Tain, Scotland

I think it's time for all the insults and garbage being tossed between supporters of Obama and Clinton stop. If you really want to see a conservative Republican to win the general election at least have the honesty to say so. I think the main reason Obama is so popular now is that there was a Democratic convention in 2004, and out of all the speeches at this convention there was only one that caught people's imagination and made it seem as if the speaker was qualified to become president of the United States.

Many of us never forgot that moment, and no matter who was being talked about at candidate there was a part of us that said, "Yes, but we would prefer Obama." Gradually it has seemed more and more realistic, and people have begun to believe that hope doesn't have to be a daydream. But don't forget that Millary Clinton would also be a good President, especially following Bush. Let's not blow our chance like we did in 2004! Let the rest of the campaign be constructive.

Christopher Hobe Morrison, Pine Bush, Ulster County, NY, USA

The big Momentum behind Barack Obama which everyone talks about is so similar to the lead up to the UK 1997 General Election which Tony Blair won.

But the campaign behind Obama is something never witnessed before, the way modern communications have been used and the feeling and seeds that are being planted that it is People who bring about change. Also the enthusiasm for politics that has been created with young people.

People state that Obama does not have the experience, what experience did Tony Blair have in 97?

Hilary more and more each day is looking and sounding like the past, both tired and very wear. Her campaign is in melt down with sackings or being diplomatic resignations.

John B Sheffield, Newton, LA

The money they are spending is an embarrassment. Vote for Huckabee who isn't wasting the money like any of the others. He shows he has a sense of financial responsibility at least.

Dominic, Teddington, London,

You write, "[Clinton] argued that she has won the big state primaries, such as New Jersey, New York, California and New Mexico, ..."

New Mexico is definitely not a big state (population-wise), and its votes are still being counted.

Steve Cooper, Platte City, MO, USA

Some have said that Obama should be credited for "seeking to inspire a generation" disillusioned by past adminstrations. Well, how much more disillusioned will this generation be when Obama fails to deliver on the myriad of promises he is making??

Enough of the Camelot and fairytales. We live in the real world and given the impact that America and its leaders have on the world, it scares me that the people who will elect the next leader appear to be mistaking great oratory for great leadership. America can't afford a to elect another leader who has no leadership experience. Look at the deadly damage done by Geroge W. during these past 7 year.

Hillary is smart, tough and experienced. Yes experienced!! People forget the good work done during the Clinton presidency. Oh ye fickle American public!! Given America's abysmal ecomonic and global position, I would take a repeat of the Clinton era anyday!! Wait - once McCain makes Obama's state/senate record public, Obama is done.

K Fergie, Toronto, Canada

"I won't vote for Obama though. He would be too great an embarrassment to the US."

Doug, the US can't embarrass itself with Obama, As far as I know there has never been a US president who would have understood the rest of the the world / foreign policy, so a greenhorn is very welcome by me - at least there is a chance that he will learn something by accident ;)

Bela Patkai, Helsinki, Finland

B Gillman, Singapore, Singapore: You say that the Russians and Chinese are laughing at us because of our ideas and hopes for change? It shows to prove a lot of igorance there! Majority of Americans don't care what they think anyways!!

ann, Pasadena, CA

@ ALAN from the "UK" (if you actually are)

First of all you compare Barack to Hitler... and then you continue on to say that the American people's support of him is simply out of a media-induced ignorance and due to their lack of education etc etc?


You, sir, are the personification of willful ignorance. I will simply point this out for you consideration:

Barack Obama has insanely staggering amounts of support among the "highly-educated" (meaning college graduates), and the wealthy, as well as African-Americans, etc etc. Whereas, Hillary Clinton has her biggest support base among the "uneducated" (meaning those who did not complete high school or did not go on to receive higher education) and the poor (those whose households make less than $50,000/year combined).

Those SOLID FACTS alone disprove your little theory, sir, and they do a great job of revealing your overwhelming ignorance.

Please don't comment on such issues again until you have done your research. Thank you.

Rebecca K., Queens, New York City, New York, USA

Why on earth are people like Alan basically comparing Obama to Hitler just because he has some charisma? Obama's well-educated and bright enough to lead the country. He's certainly smarter than George W. Bush. George W. Bush served in the military and was elected governor twice but still was a horrible president.

Joe, London,

the Mid east countries as well as Bosnian Muslims are hoping for an Obama win.

Just sayin'

balija, Bubla, Lebanon

Has experience really made that much of a difference? George Bush had experience, (both mind you), and there wasn't a great outcome from either of those. Hillary would do well in office, but Barack offers new ideas. Half of being successful in office is successfully uniting all walks of American life. Obama is the only one to unite not only young and old, but black and white, blue collar white collar etc.

Obama doesn't talk politics. He gives the facts and goes straight to the point. We can all understand what he's getting at, which is what we all need.

Go Obama!

Nick, Richmond, VA

Barack has told each and everyone of you how he can change this country. It will take each and everyone of us to get involved and do our part to change this country. One man can't do it by himself. It is our country and we elect these people who sell us out every election year after year. Then we sit back and complain when things don't go our way. We want so much we don"t need then we are upset when we lose the things we do need. We allowed Clinton to ship our jobs to other countries {NAFTA] with Hillary pushing for it too. So what you want now is to give her 8 more years to give away what little we have left. Obama says yes let's help out our neighbor but it not a hand out. He says they must earn this by paying back. I do not want the goverment taking from my check for insurance. If we force drug companies,insurance companies to stop robbing us we can afford to pay for our own. Obama is brillant Back him he will make you feel proud again

Linda Diamente, College Station, Tx

Whoever wins this election will be the person who is best at winning elections.

James Kingdom, West Morland, UK

His credentials should be straight forward and easy to understand. When all the world was shouting in the streets to to prevent the war in Iraq, the US was in a goto war frenzy. All the experienced politians including Hillary were for a war that was not justifiable. We ALL knew there were NO weapons in Iraq and that the US was going to war for revenge on 9/11 even though it was understood by any intelligent person that Iraq had nothing to do with it. Well at this significant decision point Obama got it right when everyone else got it wrong. He has of course many other credentials but this specific point shows he is more fit than anyone else out there. Imagine we are faced with a similar dilema again. Who do you want in office? The person who was proven to have the correct opinion or the other who got it wrong irrespective of the evidence around them?

Marios, Nicosia , Cyprus

He stands for nothing BUT change. Isn't that great? He hasn't accomplished anything, he says nothing, has no agenda whatsoever. Sounds like the perfect candidate !!!

Joe, Waitsfield, VT, USA

Obama may be the only Democrat condidate that could possibly loose to McCain. In a contest between Hillary and McCain, I will vote for Hillary just to punish McCain then vote Republican on the congressional ticket. I hope for 4 years of split government similar to Bill Clinton's last 6 years in office when Republicans held both houses. This will both neutralize Clinton and deny McCain party leadership. I won't vote for Obama though. He would be too great an embarrassment to the US.

Doug Forbes, Columbus, USA

I hope Alan from London re-reads the drivel he has written and is aware of the irony.

John, sydney,

Why do all these commenters say, "What does Obama stand for, besides change?!" That's someone else's rhetoric being regurgitated by you guys. If you want to know what he stands for, listen to a few speeches. Or read his website. His policies are on there and he's not hiding them. Heck, read everybody's website who's running. It's actually interesting...

People are just assuming that the 90 second news clip or 1200 word article is the whole story, and are frustrated that the story isn't telling them what they really want to know about the candidate. It's not Obama's fault you are being given news that doesn't satisfy your questions. The info is out there about everybody's policies- if you are concerned about it you should read the policies before trashing the candidates in anonymous web talkback columns.

Craig Z, New York, NY, USA

I'm tired of all the people who go to EVERY single article about Obama and ask: "Well what are his credentials, other than being for change?" Or, "The only reason he is winning is because he's the feel-good candidate."

Time and time again, other commenters go out of their way to respond to these uninformed posts by showing Obama's vote by vote records juxtaposed against Clinton's, but they get IGNORED over and over again. Stop asking, start looking for the damn information yourself! It's out there!

Yes, Obama inspires, but he wouldn't have gotten this far (especially as a black man) without the intellectual force and the SUBSTANCE backing his charisma.

Richter, St. Louis, MO

Once again Americans are showing how gullible they are in selecting their leaders. They will end up putting a guy in the white house who goes around preaching hope and change and withno experience whatsoever in running complicated global issues and policy's. Wake up America! The world cannot afford another 8 wasted years! The Chinese and Russians are laughing at you!

B Gillman, Singapore, Singapore

As any top sportsperson would testify, winning is in the mind. Action follows thought, endeavour follows desire. The DNC is at a crossroad to choose between a charismatic leader who has the gift of leading others to believe and one who creates doubt across a nation.

It is so naive to criticise Obama for his rhetoric. He is seeking to inspire a generation disillusioned with the Bush-Clinton-Bush years to believe that this is not the way that things need to be. He can empower an entire country to find its place again.

People have talked about Clinton's appeal as the first female presidential candidate, but the US is not so much split along gender lines than it is along racial lines, so surely a candidate that can not only unite a nation along its internal fault lines, but across international boundaries as well, is the only candidate to back.

For the US and the world, there is no choice but Obama. Sorry Hilary.

Dan, Bali, Indonesia

I am so happy that the world has so much interest in our election process this year. As a 60 year old Vietnam Veteran and reared as a republican, I am simply amazed.

I live in a very small conservative town is Idaho, the most red state of all, and people are quite taken with Obama, in much the same way as JFK, perhaps, even more.

In my life, as a teen, JFK -RFK-MLK; then Vietnam-Iraq, most of us feel trapped by history. Perhaps, Obama is the way back home, away from the Neo-Holy Roman empire we created.

To me the Mega Ego tripping is over, we have re-define what it is to be an American in a big new world. This is what is scaring America is not the emerging black President. Unbeknown-st to most, is that this man may the only one who can place us in proper view. It is a mid-life crisis in this aging democracy.

We so want to return to something we recognize, as Barrack says the Audacity of Hope; maybe that is what we need, American senses needed change. God help us.

Boyd Jensen, Emmett, Idaho, USA

Regarding Alan from London's comments concerning JImmy Carter, Mr. Carter hailed from Georgia.

Watts Taylor, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Actually the whitest state is like Idaho and North Dakota, which obama has one.

Mell, St. Louis, MO, USA

YES for Barrack Obama! He has as much experience as the first President of this country had and do we not lift up his name as our great founding father! Do we look at George Washington as the one who brought the "great change to America!" I say again YES!!! and a resounding YES to Obama, the change that we need has come and is coming as history before has taught us!

Linda Robinson, Duluth, GA

Linda Robinson, Duluth, USA

American elections are like a roller coaster ride, with blips, shoos, ups and downs and lots of Oohs's and Aaahs' . One fail to understand the trend and get on with the real picture till the scenario is clear and visible, after primaries in Major states like California, Texas, Ohio and New York are done with. Clinton can proclaim that she has won major states like New York and California, but her loss in Nebraska,Ohio and the dip in popularity chart in bible belt and black dominated and ebony-states like Virginia, Maryland may dent her position holding the baton as a front runner. The whole picture is like some good ol' American war movie with Confederates and Yankees yelling war cries and shooting from their buts.Never the less, with its mega melodrama and intrigues, all the world eyes are glued to US to know the outcome of the contest. Will there be another hunt for Osama, and another war in the middle east, to search for the treasure hunt of WMD's like our Bush's hobby.Who knows?

sandy, New Delhi, India

Noone has asked Hillary this question yet.If Bill Clinton's legacy was bad was she going to run for this nomination and did she not enjoy the white house enough that she wants to go back again. i feel she has a hidden agenda ,democrats watch out for this lady.

nick james, winnipeg, canada

You mentioned the Giuliani strategy that backfired, please don't forget the Musharaff strategy when it comes to Clintons' tax release: She release her taxes AFTER she is nominated just like the Pakistani dictator shed his Army uniform after a kangoroo court certified his election to the presidency.
What a company to keep!

JOHN P, chicago, USA/IL

DickW (Aberdeen) is spot on. Barack gibbers on a lot about 'change'. When deciding who to vote for, people don't always necessarily want change 'for the sake of change', but improvement.

Despite this, Barack is the only Dem. candidate who can defeat McCain. Hillary is too divisive to unite voters.

Alex, Buenos Aires, Arg.

Leadership takes vision and the drive to build that vision into reality, and the ability to rally support amongst supporters towards achieving that vision....it's not just about good policy making. Hillary and Obama seem about the same when it comes to policy stances (except, of course, Iraq...and I can't believe she won't admit she was wrong). But, Obama can inspire hope. Hope that things can be better. Hope creates an energy and momentum towards change which makes the vision more realisable. Also, Richard Nixon had the most experience of any previous US President and Abraham Lincoln the least.

SD, London, UK

Hi, I am a woman from Canada and I am with you all Barack Obama supporters!
I wish I could vote and give my vote for this BRILLIANT CANDIDATE, OBAMA, to become the new President of the U.S.of America!!! Remember: your vote is not about the future of America only, it is about the future of the entire world. Barack Obama is crystal clear and clean he is will never play the "polical games of power" that other candidates are so experienced in. Barack is talented, reasonable, diplomatic and sincere to work together with all of you to CHANGE AND SHIFT THE DIRECTION of American history to the best and for the benefit of each and every Ameriacan and for all the world. He is not "ex" to anyone drafting "credits" for support ,he is CONSISTENT, good listener and will not undertake the job of the highest responsibility for himself, for to be in the Oval House, or for the draft benefits for his own. He is CAPABLE OF AND WILL DO IT FOR EACH AND ALL OF YOU.

Elena , Toronto, Canada

I hope Obama wins the election - I think he'll be a good President.

Jess, Ramsgate, England

She was in the white house for eight years and accomplished nothing, including her beloved heath care program. As an independent, I am voting Obama.

Aram Sahakian, Glendale, California

Obama is the new Jimmy Carter. Carter was an obscure peanut farmer from Kansas who was voted in because of digust at the Nixon-Ford years and Watergate. But Carter was a failure as a leader.

As for his platform, what exactly do 'hope' and 'change' mean? What will he do? In what respect does is his promise of change unique? After all, Hitler promised radical change.

Obama's progress is a kind of diana moment. He is the media's candidate and his success is a consequence of the intellectual decadence of modern society. Many people are now poorly educated; they have not read widely and instead have spent their formative years watching too much television. Their minds have not been exercised, and like a baby that never moved on to solids, the thinking has been done for them. They were spoon fed media-mush to such an extent that they are acutely lacking in critical faculties and are highly suggestible: They see the other people cheering for the charismatic young man, so they cheer too!

Alan, London, UK

I'm a Republican from New Jersey, USA.

As a Republican I hope Hillary wins the Dem nomination. She is so devisive with her ME ME ME, win at any cost strategy, she will lose the general election. Plus the absolute sleaze of the Clinton's is a turn off.

As to Obama - I completely disagree with his politics. But he is an honrable, decent man as is his family. That matters. Respecting your opponent is a huge deal.

During the South Carolina primary the Clinton's attempted to "ghetto-ize" Obama by comparing him to Jesse Jackson. That is a disgrace, and in my view, further deligitimized Hillary.

Obama has run a clean campaign. He has not played the race card and has run as someone who happens to be black and people are voting for him in droves. That is a credit to the racial progress America has made in the last 40 years. A credit to MLK's vision.

While one might hate the Clinton's for their selfishness.. their is respoect, but disagreement, for Obama.

John, Princeton, New Jersey

Politics is ultimately about campaigning. Campaigning is used with the hope and prospect of achieving success. Yet, success can only be gained after effective campaigning, which involves focusing on substance rather than form. Although the Blair government showed that the exception to this rule certainly did apply to it, that is, in fact, all that it showed – it was an exception, nothing more and nothing less. The Brown government has not yet reached its 1st anniversary, although there are signs emerging that it too is subscribing to a similar idea approach. Unfortunately for Brown, the British people have experienced this already, and we are not too be fooled twice. Obama has taken the right attitude of simply explaining the situation of the US, and the policy and changes he wishes to implement. He is a conviction politician and, unlike Blair, hides behind no smokescreen and shelters behind no rhetoric. As ever, one still hopes that Barack Obama will take his seat in the Oval Office.

Marcin Roth, London, UK

Clearly Obama does not resemble George Bush at this point in the campaign - he is a gifted speaker and smart as a whip. To suggest any resemblance is foolish rhetoric.
What does he stand for besides change? He stands for setting policies on health care that take care of the most vulnerable - the children in our country; he stands for reducing student debt through service to our country; he stands for realigning the tax system that disproportionately places the burden on lower income people; and perhaps most importantly of all - he stands for open dialogue - listening to those with whom you disagree - not being afraid of or intimidated by those who think differently - reaching across the aisle and opening conversations with all people regardless of party affiliation. He is furiously committed to the "United States of America" - not to the blue states or the red states - or the black people or the white people. He stands for the American people and we as a nation can accept no less.

Jan, Olathe, KS

Obama has more legistslation experience than hilary. Here are some of their voting records:

Clinton voted against an amendment in the Energy Bill establishing an ethanol mandate for refineries.
Obama voted for the amendment, which became law.

Clinton voted to expand oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.
Obama opposed the expansion.

Obama voted for an increase in fuel-efficiency standards
Hillary voted against the idea.

Clinton voted in favor of a measure that allowed confiscation of legally-owned hand guns during natural disasters
Obama voted against

Mell, St. Louis, MO, USA

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SF, london, england

You see how they keep changing the goalpost.
Barack Obama has today the popular vote, the most states and the most delegates. There is no way now that Clinton can catch up with him in the delegates.
Each victory he makes, they say, he should win the next one and the next one. What we have here? A bi-racial man just won the whitest state in the union, Maine. Nearly 2-1.
It is time Clinton concede for the good of the party. She lost.

Orhan Catan, Istanbul, Turkey

Obama reminds me too much of George Bush. Both wanted to change the culture in Washington- but neither will say how, and perhaps they don't know how. The words from both men are/were very good. However, the results, the details, the follow-ups and protection from unexpected results are lacking for both men.
Hilary at least has some accomplishments, and although you may not agree with her plans, at least she lays them out for inspection and review. Obama just insists he will "change" other people. Well, we learned how George Bush changed America, and we don't want another dose of that.

Lee, Virginia, US

But what's he stand for apart from "change" ?

DickW, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

Should Sen. Obama win the Democratic nomination and go on to defeat Sen. McCain in the general election, not only will it be symbolic of the progess being made in the attitudes of the American electorate after too long of a haze, but a President-Elect Obama will be a human symbol that serves not only to unite these United States, but one that simultaneously serves as a repudiation of dynastic politics and the penultimate repudiation of the disfunctional politics of the current federal administration for lo' these almost 8 years of arrogance and incompetence masked in hubris.

Edward B Woody Ryder, Greenlawn, NY/USA

Barack Obama ALL the way! I sincerely hope he wins because in him, is the change that America so desperately needs! Since I'm not American and I can't vote- all I can do is pray that Senator Obama wins.

Frida, Bristol, UK

An Obama win in VA, MD and DC will hardly crush the Clinton campaign. These are meaningless. The real test will come with PA, OH and TX. If Obama wins, God willing, McCain will crush Barack and Michele (sp?)

Mark, Chicago, USA / IL

Obama is so charismatic I don't see how anyone could resist voting for him--unless of course you understand that you can't run a country on charism.

Peggy Smith, Ph.D., St. Francisville, LA

Barrack has shown more confidence, ability and knowledge on the issues than any of the other candidates and therefore gained my vote.

Jennfer, Washington, District of Columbia

Obama determination is showing us that with a complete conception and determination we shall be able to lift the world,experience doesn't worth anything without conviction.

berthie matona, london, uk

Today I placed a vote, which God willing, will be another nail in the coffin of Senator's Clinton political aspirations.

Yes, I voted for Senator Barak Obama.
