I think that Hillary Clinton should be president because she would be the first women president. I don't follow any of this so I don't know anything about the people that are running for presidents.
I dont think obama should have rejected hillary clinton for vice president. And there is alot of racism going around,like they said 95% of african americans are voting for obama and not Mcain.
Obama is stupid for not letting Hilary Clinton being a Vice President for him. He would of got all the Clinton fans for him and would of have an edge over McCain. But McCain chose Sarah Palin which got more female voters for McCain. But Obama has more African American voters for him so its going to be a good election.
I don't know much about the election because i don't watch it because i wanted Hillary to win and she is out so she cant win and i don't want it anymore.
Obama is not winning by a landslide because of Sara Palin. She is attracting some of Obamas young voters and also she is attracting more female activists. Mike Velino
Obama is isn't winning because like the kid before me said that Mcain is getting more female votes but Obama is still getting most if not all the black votes and its hard to tell if African women will vote for Mcain or Obama but as for me id choose Obama
Obama should have Hillary Clinton as his vice because a lot of people wanted her to win and if he chose her than he would have a lot of votes. Also the fact that Hillary has Bill Clinton behind her is a great help because he seemed like a great president and this country would be able to get back on track.
I think obama should be winning because mccain picked a women vice president and that bringing more women voters to make him president when Mccains is bringing in more african Americans as voter over the U.S -------- Nicholas Braga--------
The reason Obama is not wining because is because Mccain is attracting the older voters while Obama is attracting the younger voters who most of the time don't end up voting.
Okies...,First of all it was a smart idea for Obama NOT to pick Hillary Clinton to be vice president. When her husband was in office she was the one who pretty much ran everything. She's already had her chance, she's already been in office, she doesn't need to again and take control of a man who is perfectly capable of running things without her. Also, If you think about it, if we dont elect and black president all the other countries in the world will still see us as a racist country. In my personal opinion Obama should be winning and should be elected as president. But here's my theory..., Obama is black. And all of our presidents so far have been white. Also in the united states we have Neo-Nazi groups like the Aryan Warriors, and there's also then KKK. So if Obama is elected as president, I have no doubt in my mind that one of those groups will find a way to assassinate him. Anywho,Obama should be winning, he's not, but he really needs to.
i want obama to win at least he's trying to change things for our country and get us out of war he seems like he would do much better than bush is right now all bush has done is get our country in debt. ~carissa quaglia:]
obama is getting more votes is because he is a better canidate and palin is not the person for a president and mcaain is toold if he dies then she is in power of the presidential office
I dont think obama deserves to be president. He has made a lot of mistakes already and I dont think he will make the right decision for billions of people. He needed Hillary Clinton to be in the top two with him. I think she should have been president. I believe she is very strong and would make good choices for us.
obama is getting more votes is because he is a better canidate and palin is not the person for a president and mcain is told if he dies then she is in power of the presidential office
think that a lot of people won't vote for Obama because they are racist and don't want a black president. I don't understand understand why they might do that if they are racist because they should think about the community and hoe it would really be the best choice if the put their racism aside. By Eric G.
Well, it seems that Obama has some good policies but, he is not portraying his plain in office the proper way to gain a landslide victory in the 2009 election. He definitely has to make sure that his campaign will appeal to a more widespread audience than he currently has.
its stupid that Obama is leading and McCain is being put through a tough decision and Obama is stupid for not having Hillary for vice president then McCain would get more with Sarah plain so they would get even and it would be a better election.
i think that Obama is not winning by a landslide because, this probably has to do with Sarah Palin. Women are realizing that men shouldn't be the only one to lead or help lead the country.
I think Obama has good head on this shoulders. I think McCain is having a hard time because of who he wants for vice president. I also think Hillary Clinton should have stayed in the running for president. I think the US.Is ready for a change.
the reason why Barak Obama isn't ahead is because this country is afraid of what will happen if a black man is our president of the united states. so GO OBAMA! John McCain will die in like a year! and i do not want another George Bush in office. bring some color to the history books.
Obama is probably not winning by a land slide because people are dumb and judge others by race. Also because he did not take Hillary as a vice president and every one loves her.
Obama is not leading by a landslide because he is unexperienced. Even his vice presidential pick, Joe Biden, said " I think he can be ready but now he isn't. President is not a job that consists of on the job training."
Obama needs to tell us what he is going to change, I'm not pro McCain, but the two reasons to vote McCain are Sarah Pailin, she put the governors personal plain on ebay because she thought it was a wast of tax money, and the second is Obama himself.
How can you train to become president? Being "School president" or "Class president" wouldn't necessarily prepare you for being the President of a whole nation.
I agree with the article, this election, it seems that Obama, along with john McCain have not been very public about any thing, Back in 6th grade when i could care less about polotics I knew more about the candidates, but now that im trying to learn about either one I seem to be coming up with nothing
i think that both candidates would be good presidents but if i had to choose one it would be John macain/but either way we will make history because we will have an African American president or a female vise president
i think Hilary should win because she would be the first female president. and that would be very cool. in my opinion she would make an awesome president
i agree with Spencer that he should of picked Clinton for his vice president i mean it seems like she is more popular than McCains vice president and he would of gotten way more votes.
Although this story is about all the mistakes he made running for president I think this story doesn't focus on all the good and right desisions he made during his presidency run. Also in my opinion Obama can not do worse then Bush in any way shape or form. He would have to do better then Bush because all bush did was weaken the economy.
Obama isn't winning because has has made some attacks on Mrs.Palin. But with McCain and Sarah they are gettintg the female voters and Obama is getting the black voters.
This just proves what the press thinks about Obama... I won't say Clinton wouldn't have been a good chose for VP but I think Biden was just a better pick.
This is a very interesting race because, we have a candidate who is black, then a candidate who is old. There are to many people in this country who are racist or dont want an old president. Also it was a bad move by McCain to pick a woman VP. That hurts him a lot because there are a lot of sexist people in this country. But McCain did make a good move in anouncing his VP right after the democratic convention to steal the spotlight from Obama.
i think hillary not being obama's running mate is better for the democrats because hillary will help them be more influencial in the senate where if she was the vice pres. her abilities as a politician would go to waste. D Laine
okay, first of all, I don't know why obama would reject hilary as his vice president....smooth move buddy. but then again i dont really care because i dont want him to be president. i dont like any of the canidates this year...unfortunately. if i could vote, i would vote for john mcain...but whatever i dont know all that much about this presidency stuff.
I think that it is partly because he does'nt get into as much detail about his proposals and people would expect and the way he didn't do what is normally done as far as debates and offers with presidential candidates.
Obama is younger which in my oppinion may be backing some people away, thinking he is in-experienced. The fact of his skin color has nothing to do with it, as many people have posted saying the oppisite. Mccain seems to be bringing people in, but not just because of Palin. Obama's slipping behind, but who knows what could happen.
On the other hand mabe they arent voting for them because he is planing to let iraquies into the country. If that hapens there could be more terrorism in this country. And we all remember 9/11 Right.

Which is getting more female voters.

i think Obama would be a better president because in my apinion McCain is another George Bush!
Alec Mainiac
What McCain did by choosing Palin was an attack against Obama. McCain was getting the last laugh at Obama not choosing Clinton.
I don't know much about the election because i don't watch it because i wanted Hillary to win and she is out so she cant win and i don't want it anymore.
The first post does not make sense because Obama is not leading by a landslide, as it says in the title.
-----Travis Fiero----
Yeah thats true, the first comment really doesn't make sense.
Anywho, I don't think Obama should've rejected Hillary for vice pres. like that.

some of obama voters are now may be rethink their vote for obama.

both Obama and mccain are inadequate candidates. Hillary was the better candidate.

I think that Obama is not leading by a landslide because less young people vote and the majority of the young people like Obama

Obama is not leading by a landslide because he attacks the current system instead of saying how he is going to improve it.

I don't no who would win write now.IF oboma won then he might get shot because of racist people.If mccain wins hes very old so he might die very soon.

Sam your comment is a bunch of bologna Because no one will want him because he discriminates people.
Barack is the man. if we have him in office, we wont be in war for long. but mcain is war happy so we would be in war every year he is in office\

ok stephen how is it that he is the one discriminating against people people are discriminating against him!

I think Obama is leading because every on3e just wants a change they want a new kind of president in stead of the old people we have had for years.
if obama is elected i think that he might get killed as soon as he is in office and sorry if you like obama DCarlos
i think anyone is better than bush.

Racism is part of the reason that O Bama isn't winning but it's not completely the reason. I think that it's just other things that he has done.
i think obama isn't leading be cause he is considered a minority to many people.i do not think this but many people do.

hes not leading because everyone still thinks he is a muzlim and a terrorist. ugh* ignorant public will ruin us!!!

I HATE OBAMA
I have to say that accepting Clinton as a vice president would probably have been a good move, getting all the Clinton voters. And the women.
yea if i could vote i would vote for obama but i think more people would if he had chose Hillary as vice.
i hate obama!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont care because there both
RICH like me!!
I dont think this has to do with race but with political points these candidates have made
