My friends and I were ecstatic last night when they finally called Obama the presumptive nominee! You would've thought we'd won the lottery. lol! The four of us have followed this election since before it even began.

On to November!

i have to agree, i am very very scared-- i don't even know who to vote for really... =/

As the mother of an almost 18 year old boy who would love nothing more than to join the marines after graduation.....anyone willing to end this war has my vote! I don't agree with everything Obama says, but I doubt there is a candidate alive that I'd agree with everything they said! So, Obama has my vote!

What a beautiful win! Well, we are not all they way there...yet! Obama is brilliant (not perfect) and is going to be the refreshing new start that American needs.

Isn't it nice that we can have this discussion in a civil manner. We all want the best for our families and our countries. None of us know for sure who is the best candidate to accomplish that, if any of our choices are. We make our decisions hopefully based on the information that we have available.

Personally, I just do not know if we can stand 4 more years of what we've had. We are spending too much money and too many lives on this war that IMO and Obama's we should never have started. We need to fight terrorism, no doubt, just don't think we are fighting on the right front in the right country.

There are too many big businessmen and Saud's influencing our country's agenda. The Saud's are not our friends. Most of the 911 attackers were from Saudia Arabia as is Osama ben Laden. We need to wake up and end our dependance of foreign oil as soon as possible. We need to bring jobs back to America. We need change, and I think that Obama is offering the right change for these particular topics.

I do not agree with everything that he says, but I believe out of our choices, he is the best one. He's young and it would have been better for him to run a little later with more experience, but the times dictated that the time for him is now rather than later. So, we'll see. At least he brings a little youthful enthusiasm and optimism to the picture.

Marilyn i agree with you about the current situation, and definitely about the candidates... we don't know who's best, that's true...
but as a jewish woman, it worries me that his pastor had such horrible things to say about israel and let's not forget the US... while Obama may or may not share those views it definitely says something for either his views or his judgment that he stayed at a church which preached such hatred about our country for 20 YEARS! i highly doubt rev. wright developed his views solely for the campaign... they weren't developed overnight, and that scares me about Obama...

i've been through the charismatic speakers that talk about change and whatnot... and it turned out badly, that's why i'm so weary about voting for him... not to compare him with anyone else, because as you said, we just don't know, and i truly hope that if he wins, the things turn out for the better...
[ETA: I moved almost 8 years ago here, from Venezuela, before it turned out the way that it did...not to say that he is like Chavez at all...but words are just words and i haven't heard anything other than a catchy slogan... (please feel free to refute that... let me know what he stands for better, etc) ]

I don't think that any candidate has captured my attention or my vote... i was hoping for hillary... but, sadly she didn't win... i'm really confused as who to vote for, we definitely need change... but i don't know who'll be able to deliver...

I agree with you.

It will be interesting to see what they (Obama and McCain) choose to say about each other.

I love this election. It's history in the making. I guess that's because I really have nothing bad to say about any of the candidates. I do want Obama, but McCain is a good man. I just want the war to end.

Since this is a friendly debate thread ...lol See what Judy says , she and millions of others including myself want the war to end...

Is this feasible? You just can't end the war that quickly, IMO we will have more of 911 in our country if that happens. They are not human and have no regard for human life.. So if we bring home our troops be prepared to have our country attacked .. God forbid..

What is the solution ? What are your thoughts?

I dont' know what the solution is, but i know damn well if they pull our troops out to soon, we better be prepared for more terrist attacks!

I am happy that Hilary didn't make it and that Obama did. In my opinion it will be a close race. Like some have mentioned Obama is not going to end the war that quickly if at all. I to wish it would end but its not that easy...

Obama's wife and what has been coming out is worrying me also. I agree with the above. I like McCain and hopefully he will win.. Sorry to my friends who are for Obama... Just my opinion of course.
