It is a sad day when the democratic party is ready to elect a candidate who uses racist and religious slurs to beat her challenger. The Des Moines Register should be ashamed to support such a slimeball.

Holy shit! Enough with the religious banter already!!! I don't care what their religions are, I want to know what their positions are on all the important issues! Stop making religion part of the damned campaign.

Another reason this white guy won't be voting for Hillary. Others include her support of the status quo, her failure to support accountability against the previous administration should she win, the fact that she will be a magnate for partisanship, the fact that she can't speak out against a lot of the excesses of this administration because she supported them....

Otherwise, Barak Hussein Obama is an American citizen. Born and raised in Hawaii, (my current state of residence) and legally able to run for President.

The fact that Hillary, Huckabee and Romney and others have played the religion card doesn't mean that it should be played. I don't think Obama is right because he doesn't have more than a couple of years experience on the Hill. But that might be a good thing. His father's religion is of no concern to me.

Whatever the case, I find his campaign a lot more focused and less dirty than most.

I wish he would tell me that he won't let the Cheney Administration avoid accountability.. I met rethink my opinion of him.

Attacks upon Senator Obama which focus on the African/Arabic forenames and geneology are as pathetic as they are racist.
Senator Obama should focus on the racist nature of those who unjustly attack because of his origins.

What fairminded person would want to vote for a racist, for as everyone knows, racists are the lowest form of intelligence on the planet!

Obama will win this because most people are tired of racist in this country. America the world is watching.

I just watched that video:
http://www.youtube.com/.
It is revealing and amazing how much
Obama, beats young Mr. Clinton in charisma,
sincerity, honesty, and being comfortable
in his own skin.

Obama should be the one.

Thank you.
