Jan. 7, 2008, 12:43 p.m.In all seriousness, there's only one thing that worries me about Obama. I'm genuinely concerned that some @hole is going to think that America isn't ready for an African-American president, and (G-D forbid) is going to try and assassinate him.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I suspect there are still a lot of people out there with this warped mindset.

Jan. 7, 2008, 1:41 p.m.When are party members going to stop worrying about their party and start worring about what good is for America. All Americans should look at all canidates and ask themselves who is best for our survival. I have only decided that I will not vote for Mitt who I do not trust, and Hillary who I consider is a power hungry woman who only brings more of the Clinton era. Ears are all open to the rest no matter what party.

Jan. 7, 2008, 2:09 p.m.I hope it's true, if so........ just goes to show that even republicans are sick of republicans. That's about as bad as it gets.

Jan. 7, 2008, 2:35 p.m.I don't think a black guy can get elected. I would vote for him, not that I'm going to, but I see race still being a large factor in politics. The same way as Romney loses a certain % of voters because he's a Mormon, there are those that walk among us that will not vote for a candidate because of her race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc.

Jan. 7, 2008, 2:37 p.m.not2needy I dont believe that to be true. What I do believe to be true is America is worried about America and are really thinking about its future. Not what party someone belongs to. I thought one of the dumbest tactics was from Hillary pointing so much attention to the Bush administration. Hey wake up! Bush is not running! Look at her democratic congress that seem to be able to do nothing and they will remain in office for some time now.
Even the Democrat voters seem to be waking up to this Clinton lie and see them for what they are. Enough of dreaming. Forget parties and vote for the best man to do the job.

Jan. 7, 2008, 2:51 p.m.Republicans are worried about Obama because he represents something they can't control: a repudiation of the past thirty years of politics, the extremism of the current administration (and the entire GOP, for that matter), and an embracing of mainstream American values. All the mudslinging in the world won't change that.

Jan. 7, 2008, 2:54 p.m.Obama should not even be seriously considered for the nomination, he has no leadership expierence, he has done nothing while in office, he has done nothing but put out retoric about change and not offered any solid ideas. He is running on glamour and smooth talk.

Jan. 7, 2008, 2:59 p.m.Here's a prophecy, the Republicans will lose badly for all the malfunction they have introduced into Washington D.C. and I might add most incumbent Democrats will also be turned away from any leadership role.
You Republicans, do not squander your money on campaigning since it will be wasteful, do something out of the ordinary, give it to the poor and elderly. You will lose, you should lose and most of you should be prosecuted not only for corruption but abysmal leadership.
Never in the history of America have we had such corruption as the present under Bush and Pelosi's cowardly inaction to stop a war America said, STOP.

Jan. 7, 2008, 3:19 p.m.Obama doesn't worry me. He'll be easy to beat. Anyone in the Republican lineup will be able to defeat him. Republicans worried, wishful thinking by you libs. lol

Jan. 7, 2008, 3:35 p.m.There are serious questions about Obama.
Barack Obama's American Exceptionalism
Politics â;; Unfortunately, Obama's broader vision for restoring U.S. leadership betrays all of the excesses of "indispensable nation" hubris that entangled U.S. forces in a host of dubious missions in the 1990s. Is that what Barack Obama offers the electorate â⻬" to be a more competent meddler?

Jan. 7, 2008, 9:47 p.m.As the only Lib in the family, I took abuses on abuses during the Clinton years. Over the past seven years I have heard the same family wish Clinton were still president.
They are absolutely disgusted with the Republican Party and not too keen on any of the Republicans.
The only thing that would drive any of them to vote Republican for sure, would be if Hillary were nominated on the Dem side, which is ironic because she is probably the most conservative of the Dem candidates.

Jan. 7, 2008, 4:27 p.m.To continue to say that Barrack Obama is a Muslim is an admission that Bush and Homeland Security is a total failure. So, you get to pick one: Bush and Homeland Security are a bunch of BS, or Barrack Obama is not a radical muslim. Which is it? You can't have it both ways.

Jan. 7, 2008, 5:07 p.m.Wolfie you know I am not a liberal but lets look at the Republican line up,
McCain, past his prime, avowed war hawk who desires illegals amnesty.
Romney, a phony just as his local newspaper has stated.
Huckabee, evangelical who would make our government a theocracy.
Thompson, you have got to be kidding, even Nixon knew and said he was not the brightest light bulb.
Rudy, the only attribute, he thinks is, 9/11.
Paul, now you have something like Obama but he worries me on the lack of knowledge concerning some issues.
So that is the Republican line up!! Can't they come up with something better?

Jan. 7, 2008, 6:08 p.m.Many here are talking about change. Well what change do we need?
1. We need to allow the Generals of our military make military decissions not Congressmen. Are these men and woman positions in the military there especcially for preforming that task?
2. We need to protect our borders. An illeagal allein is exactly that, illeagal and should be delt with in that manner.
3. Health Care- should be avalible but not forced upon. Has any goverment run program ever been sucessful?
4. Laws needed to be changed forcing race quotas. To be successful the best qualified for the job should get the job.
5. New tade agreements must be made with China and Japan that are fair and equal.
6. A new energy plan must quickly come into place and be enforced.
7. A balanced budget plan must come into place.
Here are a few now lets here YOUR ideas what we need. Remember this is YOUR election America, YOUR future. Whom ever is elected NEVER forget they are working for YOU:

Jan. 7, 2008, 6:12 p.m.The Republicans are not truthfully worried about any Democrat...their main objective is to keep the two party system. If an independent were to suddenly appear...then you might see some worried politicians; period.
Neither want what Congress ordered prior to 1790...the concurring...and the only way to reach this point is for both parties to follow the Bill of Rights, ratified 1790. For both parties to follow the correct procedure of protocol and not cause abrogation of the laws.
