"But Obama is certainly not the creator of these concepts." I imagine, like most candidates, he got together a group of advisers on the various issues. "I had not seen the one on Iraq before" He has been talking about it for a while.

he has no significant accomplishment to his credit, which is an absolute fact -- nobody here or anywhere else has been able to produce evidence of any significant accomplishment or achievement by Obama. What nonsense. He's been able to get himself into the leading spot to be Democratic candidate for President, something less than 6 0r 7 living people have been able to do. If you think that that is not a significant accomplishment, go ahead, you give it a try, see how far you get! He appears to have run an excellent campaign which shows management skills. And he's an excellent leader/speaker, people like him, and he's intelligent. Good enough for me.

Gen Dems: The Party's Advantage Among Young Voters Widens by Scott Keeter, Director Survey Research, Juliana Horowitz, Reasearch Associate and Alec Tyson, Research Assistant, Pew Research Center for the People & the Press April 28, 2008 Trends in the opinions of America's youngest voters are often a barometer of shifting political winds. And that appears to be the case in 2008. The current generation of young voters, who came of age during the George W. Bush years, is leading the way in giving the Democrats a wide advantage in party identification, just as the previous generation of young people who grew up in the Reagan years -- Generation X -- fueled the Republican surge of the mid-1990's. In surveys conducted between October 2007 and March 2008, 58% of voters under age 30 identified or leaned toward the Democratic Party, compared with 33% who identified or leaned toward the GOP. The Democratic Party's current lead in party identification among young voters has more than doubled since the 2004 campaign, from 11 points to 25 points. In fact, the Democrats' advantage among the young is now so broad-based that younger men as well as younger women favor the Democrats over the GOP -- making their age category the only one in the electorate in which men are significantly more inclined to self-identify as Democrats rather than as Republicans.
