this is a great picture and it appears you are willing to speak your mind. Why not join us at america.gather.com and give us some straight forward answers to some of the hard questions? I for one would love to hear your take on some of the issues presented there!

Congratulations, Senator Obama. I knew you were going to win this. People are really tired of the divisive methods of politics-as-usual, and tonight, THEY SPOKE, didn't they. It is about time tired old politicians started listening. This is not about black or white; it is about putting this country back together again. . .

Now, about those young people who have taken over my Yahoo! email with all the discussion and strategizing for you -- more that 7,000 emails -- yes! I am serious! Can you believe the energy it takes? Well to that, I say. . .

OBAMA FOR AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. . .do you realize you also won the woman's vote in Iowa?
haha!
I am proud of my fellow female voters that they did not vote based on gender.

Good for them!

The womans vote also defeated him in NH. But now he has the full support of the Nevada culinary union that Hilary thought she had. Thats a huge coup.
Physcologically Obama is winning which always gives the upper hand.

Hillary has said this campaign is personal to her, but she's made it personal against Obama and that could have negative connotations if the public perceive Obama is being persecuted not only by the Repubs but his own party as well. Positively speaking, the public could see a strong man in those issues and decide he truly is presidential material.
