"This immediate gratification thing is going to get us into trouble. Let cooler heads prevail. Do what is good for America." Imo this is a mars vs. venus thing. Reminds me of when I was a kid "eat your vegetables, don't run with scissors, don't drive too fast, you're going to poke your eye out with that thing" ... trouble is very appealing to males, we are drawn to it like it's a magnet, that's why we tend to start wars. So when a guy is told voting for obama will only lead to trouble the reaction is "sounds good to me." We are hard-wired to take risks.

Mary: "Let cooler heads prevail. What is best for America is to have Hillary clean up the mess that George W. Bush has created. She IS ready from DAY ONE. What is best for America is the DREAM TEAM of Hillary and Barak giving Obama eight more years of seasoning. He can then lift our hopes and dreams when he is a more mature person at the age of 55 when he takes office after the 2012 elections. Why go for the crap shoot now of Obama taking on the Swiftboaters and their ilk in 2008. You know that is going to be vicious. Why take the chance now. Get off this emotional roller coaster and get real. The Swiftboaters are not going to play nice. This immediate gratification thing is going to get us into trouble. Let cooler heads prevail. Do what is good for America. koan: too late for that, although I will say that was my feeling for a long time. I think this is a watershed moment and time waits for no man. He is the right man at the right time. Becasue the people want him and they givethem new hope. The experience thing is not valid. They both have plenty of experience and any help Obama might need he can get from an endless well of seasoned people like Mario Cumo, John Edwards, Madeline Albright, Brezenski, etc. Obama can do a better job on the international scene. He is a rock star in Europe. Whether we want Hillary now or not is moot. Obama has hit critical mass and will sweep over the nation like a tidal wave. He will lock up the nomination on tuesday I predict. The good news is that the liberals and country has risen up and challenged the neo cons. And If something happens to Obama, Hillary willl be in the wngs and if something happens to Hillary, Edwards is in the wings. Once the dems get the presidency and both houses of congress they will start repairing the massive damage done by the neo cons and hopefully rescue the supreme court. Hold on John Paul Stevens, maybe the greatest hero in the US today-lol.
