I would rather Obama be on the top of the ticket if he has more delegates and he run with Kathleen Sebelius the Democratic governor of Kansas who has managed in 5 years to erase a $1.1 billion debt, get back her own National Guard from repeated deployments, improve state educational scores, not raise taxes and be ranked one of the Top 5 Governors in the U.S.

Mainly because:

1) Sebelius is an executive which none of the other candidates are, so she's actually run something a state.

2) She's older and more experienced.

3) Apparently she's the only politician in the United States who's managed to do a good job in the past 6 years.

4) Sebelius has actually FIXED an economy in the past decade. Since I think the economy will be decisive she'd be the best person for this.

Will consider a Clinton/Obama ticket. Clinton must stop looking up to heaven and talking about "the sky opening" and "everything being fine" as if this is actually what Obama supporters believe will happen. Also please no more insulting inuendo towards young voters. We've had enough pf thse from Clinton.

Will consider the ticket though. In the meantime Barack should definitely hang in there.

You might want to consider voting for someone like Ron Paul just to make a point Silenced. This is the type of issue the major campaigns need to just face head-on. I think in the next election (2012) they will.

To (possibly) cheer you up Bill Maher has long been a champion of your cause on HBO. Tucker Carlson (although an all-around idiot and one of the least likable people on t.v.) also supports it. So it is gaining popular support.

If you're in pain you should be able to get the medicine you need. Don't necessarily think people should vote for a candidate just because they feel sorry for them. Think you should probably consider them in office more. But again, we all vote the way we vote for a number of complicated reasons. Everyone makes the best choice they can. (I think it's Obama, but understand many believe it's Hillary)

I agree with your stance Silenced. There is no reason why people who need medical marijuana shouldn't be able to get it.

And on this issue Tucker is right. Just saying on some other things he's slightly confused. He's a weird psuedo-Republican so it's hard to explain.

I have decided to craft an appeal to older voters, in hopes of unifying this party and somehow saving it, before it once again goes down to defeat at the hands of the Republicans. Fully expect it to be derided, belittled and dismissed, but have to try.

Seriously what's so wrong with just turning over leadership to another generation? Don't take this personally this is the same argument I have with my parents and relatives over the phone. Even if you think you've done a great job (highly debatable) what's so wrong with turning it over?

No offense but 3 genocides on my generation's watch, a disasterous game-changing foreign war and the knowledge that we might have actuallly literally started the process of melting the earth would be enough for me to encourage my peers to turn it over. Especially if I were 60 and saw a young candidate who I thought could change things. I wouldn't vote for someone just because they were my age.

I don't get it. The man's 46 years old. It's not like he's 20. He's succeeded on every level. He clearly has the fastest learning curve I've ever seen. He had the sense to oppose the Iraq War from the start, before we even invaded. I mean even when you guys think he's wrong he's right. Look at Pakistan. He said to strike at terrorists inside their country. He said it would peacefully destabliize Musharraff and slowly bring reform. McCain, Clinton and Bush all got their panties in a knot screaming, talking about how it would cause world chaos. The CIA did exactly what Obama said. And you know what? It worked! Musharaff's party lost the parliamentary elections, but he was not thrown out and no chaos ensued. Now he's giving signs of leaving peacefully.

With all due respect your generation's favorite president, Bill Clinton had the world's foremost expert on the most important even in the history of mankind, global warming which is literally killing the planet and didn't listen to him at all for 8 years! This might be a sign it's time to pack it up, and turn it over. No one's going to put you on ice sheets for crying out loud. Maybe you can do what all elders have done in every society since the dawn of time: actually advise younger generations.

Finally I would just point out it was the young, naive, relatively inexperienced JFK who first inspired the Boomers so much in the first place. So it's okay for them but not for us? Please at least consider some of the attributes that our unifying, magnetic, idealistic young candidate might offer not only to ourselves but the world as well. Thank you.
