Obama is Christian, not Muslim. Still a good question though. The democrats don't reveal the number of votes during caucases. I suspect he got the majority of what, maybe 10,000 votes?

There were over 200 thousand...It was a record breaker.

Is it just me or does Huckabee look like Gomer Pyle?

We need a civil war...that is what we need....and to answer an earlier question I do believe that some fool or fools will take a chance at putting a bullet or bomb on either Obama or Clinton if one of them makes it into the office or even before then.

If that happens all legal gun owners like myself are royally screwed then and there will not be one thing we can do about it.

I don't think a President Obama would need to worry about assasination unless he had Clinton as a VP. Then I don't give him a year. She'll have him popped. Move into the White House and screech about the right wing conspiracy. Hillary must have her way.

Winning the Iowa caucus is like getting a hit in the top of the first inning in the World Series....it means nothing if all of the other at-bats end in strike outs.

I still think Obama is the anti christ himself.  He speaks well, people are so in love with him when they see him.  I am sorry but if you read the Left Behind series he reminds me of the anti christ in the books.  I read the book a few years ago, and when Obama made his speech at the Dem Convention.  People immediately starting saying he will be president one day, and fell in love with him.  Just a weird thing that the book sounds so much like what is going on with him right now.

Dano, what have you been eating.. inhaling?  Obama the way of the future?

edit-  well well well...

I'd hit it, the one on the right that is

He is actually Gomer Pyle's better looking younger brother.

Both women and minorities ( either racial, ethnic, or religious ) all do very well in the USA.   Obama and Clinton's campaigns are absolute proof of that.

No nation on earth has more laws protecting the rights of women and minorities than the USA.

What have you been snorting???

I simply cannot accept another president who disavows evolution. Huckabee speaks well, but his history as a fatty, his bad teeth and his god fearing ways speak leaps about his weak machismo.

All kidding aside... As a young, middle class, educated American I have been wholeheartedly ashamed and embarrassed by the ill political environment of Washington and the actions of our broken republic abroad.

Obama has my vote.

I believe Obama to be the pure change candidate (aside from Paul).  We don't need experience. We need change.

Taxes need to be raised, the debt needs to be paid down. Education needs to be center stage. Time to get real and clean shop.

I'm more sick of big business's hand in politics than I am of big government. The size of the government has grown under the republican admin anyway.

I'm sick of our over extended foreign policy and our HUGE defense budget. I'm sick of a weak dollar and our dismal reputation abroad.

America shouldn't be polarized between red and blue. It should be polarized between fiscally realistic and fiscally retarded. The current administration being the former.

You have been spending too much time at Starbucks, and consuming way too much caffeine.

Even Obama is called for a middle class tax cut.

Putting through higher taxes on working people would be an extremely popular thing to do during a recession like the one we are now in.

I read that Obama's speech was "historic" and will be remembered for generations to come, so I read the transcript.

It read like meaningless gibberish. No content at all. I highly recommend turning off your TV set to clearly see that "blah, blah, blah" means blah, blah blah, and nothing more.

You miss the point here.  Political speeches are supposed to make folks feel good.   They are not for things like laying out public policy.

Obama's speech was fantastic and inspiring.   It made you proud to be an American.

The only Republican that has a REMOTE chance of beating Obama is Huckabee.   And that is only if he uses his pull with God, and gets him to perform a miracle on his behalf!

You forget that Britany Spears said that she was the Anti-Christ back when she was in therapy while in rehab last year.

Don't you believe her?

Not too much goes over my head, but I'm open to the possibilty. Can you quote the passages that "inspired" you?

What parts made you "proud to be an American," and why did it make you proud?

Or you can lay out public policy while inspiring people in 2-3 minutes or so.

Like

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
