Ok, first I should say I lived through the Reagan years and found nothing good about anything that happened under his administration, no matter how many people he made feel good. His total time in office was a disaster. So again I state, any reference to Reagan does nothing but make me feel uneasy.

I'm not trying to argue that Reagan did good things, I'm arguing that he could. He was able to move people to his agenda. In my opinion, it's one thing that no president or candidate has been able to do since.

As far as nuclear power, I am a Nevadan who is in favor of the Yucca Mountain Project, enough said.

Ok, fair enough :)

Some people look at Obama and see something new, I look at him and all I do is flash back to McGovern and Carter. Both of whom I like and have great respect for, but neither was what the country needed at the time.

I don't have much experience with either but right now it does feel the country does need something drastically different. It's an opportunity to repair our party, which has done little to reassure independent voters that it can actually achieve what they say they can. I don't think Hillary would do this.

Obama supporters keep talking about how we need to compromise and stop the fighting. Would someone tell me which things that we have been fighting for we should abandon in order to have this peace? I really don’t think the other side is going to change just because you ask them nicely, do you? I think Obama supporter are naive in thinking Washington can be easily changed. They seem to think by being nice and logical change will occur, I suggest they study the Carter years.

I don't believe it can be "changed". I think it needs to be looked at more realistically but be open to compromise and reduce partisanship. Hillary automatically incites partisanship. Just mention her name to a rural independent voter and see the response. Her health care plan is also a perfect example of why her "fighting" isn't realistic. Mandates will not get passed by republicans. This, to me, indicates the flaw with our party. We can't fight our legislation through. If we fail, we get nothing and we do not do justice to the people we support. There has to be compromise and Obama seems to understand that.

I think the 2008 election is going to be a contest between a group of people, none of which should be in the White House, thank goodness that in Nevada we have a box on our ballots for “None of the Above.

As far as my political affiliation I’m a Democrat that has read every book Abbey Hoffman ever wrote.

You would vote "none of the above" even though you've been a long time democrat? You are in a state we could and should win in November. I hope you don't choose the "none" option.
