@Why Latins will vote for Clinton

So what's the politically correct explanation for why the Latin community won't vote for Obama?

how about this. She's competent and offers solution instead of windy speeches about "hope".

She's competent at slithering about and not making a committed stand on any issue, just like "Slick Willie". She says and does anything to get a vote -- like her crying again yesterday. It seemed to work in NH, so why not try it again on the Day Before?

You think you will have solutions with the Clintons as president?!? Make no mistake -- the Clintons have so many political enemies, they will not be able to get anything done. We'll have gridlock from "Day One" -- a non-stop pitched battle with the Republicans.

Whitewater... Whitewater... Whitewater... Vince Foster... Vince Foster... Vince Foster... Inside investing... Inside investing... Inside investing... Harry and Louise... Harry and Louise... Harry and Louise... and who knows what else... These things may have no truth to them, but they will certainly make the the Clintons largely impotent.

Barack Obama is the only practical choice. And an excellent one at that. He has no hordes of political enemies. Even many Clinton supporters and even Republicans speak well of him.

And don't worry. Obama is a smart and capable guy who has shown he can translate his message of hope into action by many followers. This will produce for you the solutions you are assuming [erroneously] can only come from the Clintons.

You and the rest of the country will have a great time under the Obama administration.

I tried. I really did. I listened to five or six Obama speeches in their entirety. I read his book. I visited his website. I listened to his supporters. I saw the enthusiasm for him. I heard the punditocracy/talking-heads opine about him as a candidate. I tried to find out where he stands/stood on issues important to me. What I saw, heard, gathered and absorbed was basically: "Vote for me because I represent hope." Whoopee.

Obama's muddled "message" omits specifics, nuances his past and present votes for/against the war in Iraq and subsequent monetary support for it, elides his coke-snorting past, varnishes over his shady dealings with Mr. Rezko...and, the list goes on. I'm not impressed with: "Vote for me because I'm not Hillary."

I do remember the '90s. I remember Bill Clinton's time as our President. I made money. My portfolio flourished. We were (mostly) at peace. He did the right thing in Bosnia. The budgets were balanced and we even had a surplus. When I travelled, my dollar had value. We were respected around the world. We were engaged without being the bully of the world. In short, I was proud to be an American...abroad and at home.

I support Hillary Clinton because I want to return to the way America was when Bill was President. (Go ahead; insert your trite and lame Monica Lewinsky joke here.) Seriously, it was a good time to be an American.

Voting for Barack Obama just for "a change" is the worst reason to vote for anyone. I want that candidate to exude experience, be replete with competence and inspire confidence.

I like Barack as a person...a nice guy. As President, however, he's about eight years too early. He needs to come back in, say, eight years, after two terms as VP.

Hillary would be well-served by having him as her's.

Walter says "Arizona -- At 9 p.m. (EST) we will get our first look at the Latino vote in a primary out West.".

The polls in New Mexico - another strongly Latino Western state - close at 7pm. So it'll be worth paying attention to those results too.

You're more than welcome to it.

I support Hillary Clinton because I want to return to the way America was when Bill was President.

Come on, wake up. We're not magically going back to the Clinton wonder years. It's a long time since the 1990's. The economy is going down (not up like it was on Bill's "Day One"), we have a needless war we don't know how to get out of, and the political climate is far more vicious. The Clintons draw so much fire politics will just be a sporting event.

Obama represents a break from this nonsense. It seems many voters see this clearly (as 250,000+ contributors indicated with their $32M+ in January).

Um... I'm in a state that's voting it's primaries today and I hardly feel cheated. We moved our primary up to Super Tuesday and this is the first time in a generation that I can actually cast a ballot (or rather attend a caucus) where I can choose between candidates. I do wish there'd been more candidates to choose from even now. I'm delighted that my state has a proportional system, that my local district can choose someone different than the rest of the state might choose.

Am I getting a crash course in politics? You bet. Last weekend a friend of mine did a mock-caucus to answer questions she was getting about how they work and what to expect. I am tickled pink that a dozen folks showed up and that the county Democratic party is expecting our local supercenter to be filled to overflowing.

And I'm pretty sure this is how democracy is supposed to feel.

McCain and Ron Paul

Hussein and Edwards

That is all.

Re: "Barack Obama is the only practical choice. And an excellent one at that. He has no hordes of political enemies."

He also has no experience and no accomplishments in the Senate. When it's time to take a stand he votes "PRESENT." He did it in Illinois and he did it again in the US Senate.

The GOP is afraid of Hillary. Last night I saw Republican pollster Frank Luntz on Tavis Smiley practically begging the Democrats to vote for Obama. Yeah, because he knows it will be easy to beat him. The GOP won't even have to make anything up. All they have to do is examine his weak record and expose his relationship with Rezko.
