i am VERY excited to vote in this election. watching Obama’s victory speech in Iowa gave me goosebumps..it was that good and awe-inspiring. I couldn’t even watch the results from NH…it was too stressful.

@blurb: Sorry to respond so late. Re: your question: not Bush, that’s for damn sure. Was forced to go with the lesser of two evils.

I was about to write a long diatribe about what’s wrong with the system, but we’ll be here for hours… In short, the system is f’ed, and politicians can’t be trusted. My personal solution is to try to have the right kind of interactions in my corner of the Earth and hope it affects change in people. In the meantime, I, with my Libertarian ideals, will insist on keeping my arsenal in the event that I might need to protect myself from ever-encroaching dregs of society, the government itself, and/or a zombie invasion, and keeping “the man” out of my business.

This has by far been the most exciting election I’ve witnessed. Granted, since I’m Norwegian and sometimes a bit absent-minded, I haven’t always been that attentive of the primary elections in the US of A, but now I feel like popping some popcorn and cheer loudly for the good guys

to Nancy - Hillary’s a person people either love or hate - there don’t seem to be many people who have a neutral opinion of her.

(Definition - polarize - cause to concentrate about two conflicting or contrasting positions)

I’m excited about this election and I’m in Iceland. Then again, I am an Americanophile. Which isn’t in the dictionary because almost nobody is one except me. But that’ll all change when Obama gets in, oh yes.

I must admit, Obama is a great speaker no doubt about that.
But I think it shields his majority left-leaning positions on real issues because it’s easy to get caught up on his performance.

I want a true moderate, an independent. Somebody truly in the middle that is willing to compromise and above all - isn’t a democrat or republican.

Where’s my man/woman in the center, that isn’t bought by labor unions or corporate lobbyist and maybe agree with at least 50%, that will really unite this country?

I don’t see that today.

Obama’s “dynamic” speaking style is reminiscent of any self-help seminar. Additionally, I resent Oprah and Iowa telling me who I will be voting for this November. New Hampshire got it right. Keep it going.
If Obama eventually wins the nomination, fine. But it would be nice to hear something from him other than his pump you up prose.
It seems even Charlie Rose was jumping on the bandwagon. I don’t get it. And I won’t even start on Huckabee. President Huckabee?

It’s refreshing to think someone who admits he drank too much beer in high school/college (like me) is also smart enough to be president (unlike me).

I like Hillary but I could have gone to high school with Barack. And it’s about time someone my age ran this country.

I’m leery dynastic politics and the polarization of Clinton and leery of Obama being all talk and no action. Obama truly is a breath of fresh air, but if elected can he get the job done? I’m not so sure. That said, I think it might be time to give the man a shot. Obama/Richardson might be a good ticket. No whities in the the White House!

what do people mean when they say hillary is too polarizing?
