I was watching my kids the other day with no outlets to news until in the evening. This was so because my wife got called to work at the hospital, sucks when it falls on the weekend. But anyway, I only noticed later that Hillary Cliton really got abused at the South Carolina primary polls by Barack Obama. Obama 55%, Clinton 27% – ouch, that’s going to add even more momentum for Obama. What’s the “Billary” team going to do now?

And by the way, just when I thought I couldn’t get even more reasons not to vote for Barack Obama, I now read that Ted Kennedy is endorsing Obama. The latter just so happens to be one of my most despised politicians, ever.

    Damn and Giuliani dropped out too. McCain stinks he’s got no charisma and he looks like the same starch shirt we’ve had in office for years. I don’t think I can rally behind him.

    I’m going to have to sit down an listen to all these fools’ platforms and pick the lesser of evils.

    thank god for non-stop media coverage for the next several months.

    GO GIANTS !
    Tiki for President….lol

    What’s your reason for not voting for Obama? Do you believes Obama can “transcend race” and bring unity to the country. He an Hillary have simular platforms,I would support either of them.

    Taking a closer look at the the upcoming presidents role in the international community. Our next president will have they’re hands full with the mess the GWB has created. Because most Arab/Islam nations treat their woman as second class citizens,I feel a woman would not be treated with the same respect as a man would. The same way America treats it’s minorities. And because of this the international community belives we’re talking the talk but not walking the walk.

    I don’t belive we can continue to ignore Americas history and it’s ability to be truly color blind.

    Can Obama “transcend race”? Quite so in my opinion, but for me that is not a priority. I don’t like his lack of experience and positions which are too fiscally left leaning.

    For the Internet crowd – users and technology companies, neutrality proponents – he might just be a good candidate, better than others. Obama understands technology best out of the bunch, and certainly I work in this space so I’d benefit.

    But for me that just still doesn’t trump what I fear can come to pass. George Bush’s mess isn’t that big, or at least I think it can be made so much worse. Obama for me is a step towards unresponsible socialism, I don’t think in a country like the US it can work well. There are too many free loaders.

    I also don’t care too much about reputation abroad. The dollar is falling over here whether we are liked are hated, and it has nothing to do with attitude but the market.

    Derrick, I don’t really understand you points about being color blind either. If it’s a point about some kind of a race issue (again I am not sure) then it’s really missed me. I don’t care that he’s black or whatever, I don’t want Hillary either :)
