As I watch the election from the other side of the world, I personally cannot believe how so many people have begun to take this so personally. I have watched the media play favorites and the people follow like mindless sheep. What happened to the audacity of thinking for yourself and doing your own research of the candidates and what they stand for... Now to be honest with you Obama and Clinton are politicians and when this is all said and done they are going to be alright and will be friends. I find it funny how all of the political pundits where all saying that Clinton was going to have to drop out after she lost both Texas and Ohio. Once again she proved them all wrong, not only did she win Texas and Ohio but she took Rhode Island too. I am glad that this election has taken all of the twist and turns that it has taken. I believe it is good for our democracy that this election has gone on as long as it has... This is making both Clinton and Obama appreciate the American electoral process all that much more and also people who would normally not be involved in this right that our nation provides us are now involved. In February which was Black History Month Obama took all the contest and now it is March which is Women's History Month and now Clinton has won. I guess we are just trying to honor these two in their respective months.

As a card carrying Democrat I am just glad to see history being made. I also realize that it is important to make sure that John McCain is defeated in November. We cannot have four more years of Bush policies. They have endangered the safety and the reputation of America. McCain if need be will have us in Iraq for 100 years. This is a dangerous mentality! Oil is costing $104 a barrel while prior to Bush being in office it cost $24 a barrel. So in the span of seven years oil has jumped over 400 percent. This is amazing that Bush's friends in the oil industry have been getting richer and richer (while paying more taxes) and the middle class has shrunk. America is in the mist of a recession and it will only get worse. The best thing for the United States is to elect someone who will change direction of our nation and I personally believe that either Clinton or Obama is that person or they on a joint ticket are those people.
