Every individual has experience. But unless that experience translates into wise decision-making based on sound judgment it is otherwise useless. Obama's experience working in the trenches as a community organizer dealing with people with intractable demands and resolving problematic situations provided invaluable insight and knowledge that has been tried, tested and true which gives me confidence in his leadership and problem-solving skills.
Obama's strengths including sound judgment tempered with intelligence, a sense of balance and justice are admirable qualities, not readily seen in the other candidates. In stark contrast to the cookie-cutter-type answers most politicians give Obama's are measured and thoughtful. Patience and reasoned logic indicates someone who is responsive rather than reactive. The current administration's reactive policies proved ineffective and dangerous. And after 7 years of that the nation is more than ready for change.
Experience is not an end to itself. Although Obama has plenty of experience it is his judgment that makes him stand out from the rest of the contenders. Instead of using military power Obama is more apt to utilize a host of tools available that actually solve problems rather than create more. What a welcomed change.
A commitment to competent governance necessitates objective reality. Pure politics, ideology, and/or party loyalty create false narratives. Those claiming to care about people without acting on are paying lipservice. However organizing poor neighbourhoods, taking on genocide in Darfur, opposing military action in Iraq are proof Obama is a man who acts on his convictions.
Furthermore not only does he appear to understand the complexity of issues that challenge the nation requires someone with communication, negotiation and diplomacy skills, Obama has those skills. Equally important with his sincere desire and yearning to lead the country in a different direction Obama can and will do so successfully given the opportunity.
Insofar as Hillary's \"experience\":
Extensive research including \"an interview with Mrs. Clinton, conversations with 35 Clinton administration officials and a review of books about her White House years\" establish Healy's credentials. Healy's research supports the argument that being a First Lady does not qualify as \"experience.\" Indeed it
\"... suggest[s] that she was more of a sounding board than a policy maker, who learned through osmosis rather than decision-making, and who grew gradually more comfortable with the use of military power.\"

I do not know who wrote it, but it is well worth reading if you want to know what Barack Obama has accomplished in the US Senate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\"This article entitled \"37 Bills That Barack Obama Has Written or Co-Sponsored in Just 2 Years in the US Senate!\" showed up on the website DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND way back in January. Very good reading.
\"Obama has been one of the authors of the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act (S. 2180) and
\"co-sponsored The Congressional Ethics Enforcement Commission Act (S. 2259),
\"The Curtailing Lobbyist Effectiveness through Advance Notification, Updates, and Posting Act (The CLEAN UP Act) (S. 2179),
\"The Transparency and Integrity in Earmarks Act (S. 2261),
\"the Medicare Informed Choice Act (S. 1841),
\"the Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act (S. 1151),
\"the Combat Meth Act (S. 103) which provides more money for fighting methamphetamines,
\"Dru's Law (S. 792) which creates a nationwide sex offender database and extension of Violence Against Women Act (S. 1197).
\"Obama has successfully pressured Environmental Protections Agency to change to issue rules for home remodeling and renovation \"that could prevent 28,000 lead-related illnesses each year, resulting in an annual net economic benefit of more than $4 billion.\"
\"Senator Obama introduced the Lead Free Toys Act (S. 2048), requiring the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to ban any children's product containing lead (before it all blew up a few months ago, which shows his vision and foresight).
\"He introduced the Genomics and Personalized Medicine Act of 2006 (S. 3822).
\"Senator Obama successfully passed legislation in the Senate to force the Pentagon to work towards an efficient electronic medical records system that will help ensure better care for our nation's troops, helped pass legislation that requires all soldiers to be assessed for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) after they return from deployments,
\"introduced the Spent Nuclear Fuel Tracking and Accountability Act (S. 1194).
\"He authored the Sheltering All Veterans Everywhere Act (SAVE Act) (S. 1180),
\"introduced the Homes for Heroes Act (S. 3475), which would expand access to long-term affordable housing for homeless veterans by setting aside $225 million to purchase, and introduced an amendment that became law providing food services to wounded veterans receiving physical therapy or rehabilitation services at military hospitals.
\"Previously, service members receiving physical therapy or rehabilitation services in a medical hospital for more than 90 days were required to pay for their meals.
\"Senator Obama passed an amendment to ensure that all service members returning from Iraq are properly screened for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and introduced the Lane Evans Veterans Health and Benefits Improvement Act (S. 3988) which would help veterans transition from the DOD health system to the VA system.
\"All of this in a matter of 3 years, not including everything he did in my home state of Illinois as a state legislator. If the next president can get as much done in 3 years as Obama has, I say we will be in great shape. He is the right person for the right job at the right time, and he should be our candidate.\"

Well, perhaps if the fixers of your state's early media horse-race had not connived to cut Kucinich out of the deabte there then he would have spent more time in Iowa kissing babies, shucking feed corn, and shooting at captive birds.
\"The Nation\", America's most widely read magazine of progressive opinion, has just endorsed Dennis Kucinich - cutting through the smokescreen of mercenary support bought for the other candidates by wads of corporate cash and hours of baseless \"journalistic\" advocacy in the corporate MSM. This endorsement is explained in the magazine as being based on the logic and coherence of the relative platforms and prescriptions expressed by each candidate - and on these bases Dennis appears to have won an easy decision.
Hillary and Obama lead on nothing. They both have avoided the most pressing and controversial votes that have come to the senate floor during the campaign, and shirk their responsibilitites to speak out meaningfully on the issues that alarm the entire country. Please have the wisdom and integrity to weigh this fact against their scripted arrivals and grinning reparte at one homey diner per town across your entire state.

I grew up in Rockford, Il, and went to the University of Dubuque - more than 30 years ago. Spending vacations in Bellevue,Iowa was the highlight of my teenage life.
Illinois and Iowa people grow up with similar values - raising kids, sending them to college, some coming back to work at family farm or in a family business.
Recently I learned of the loss of the Maytag factory in Iowa. John Edwards was comforting a person who had lost his job.
What are we going to do about the loss of American jobs, livable wages, health care for the poor and middle class - I believe in universal health care that is equal for all.
I believe that the the level of troops that we have deployed in Iraq makes us more vulnerable now to other nuclear powers.
I think that we need to elect John Edwards for President. I have seen him in California twice; he was one of three candidates that showed up for the First Presidential Forum on Global Warming. He left with the greatest applause.
Please give John Edwards a good look - I think that he remembers his roots,loves his family, and he will not fight for big business. John works hard to keep American jobs here .He will bring our troops home ASAP.
Vote for John Edwards.

Based on polling data at Real Clear Politics Clinton is leading in the polls and if I'm reading their data right, the trending seems to be favoring her at least through 12/13/07. The results are within the margin of error currently, but if the trending is right, it may be breaking back Hillary's way. Furthermore, Obama is facing a serious challenge from Edwards, who appears to be making a surge and his numbers are drawing him closer to Obama. In our view, Edwards does not have a real shot at the nomination long term, both from an electability standpoint and a resource standpoint. A win or even a close third place run though will keep him in the game for a little longer, but ultimately his campaign is going to succumb to the liberal, left wing lack of depth and intellectual honesty in his campaign. We think Obama will manage to weather this late inning challenge and hold Edwards at bay to finish a near second to Clinton. However, in our view, the Clinton campaign should manage to edge Obama out with a win in excess of the margin of error. Political Season says Clinton wins by a 5-7% margin of victory.

First, you say that if the caucus were held tonight, Obama would earn a \"narrow victory\". I think you should at least cite what evidence you're using to back this up. Nearly every time I've seen polls over the last few days, they've alternated between all three candidates. I have yet to see a consistent stream of polls that show Obama with a victory, let alone a consistent stream of polls with a lead for anyone outside the margin of error.
Also, I think the crisis in Pakistan will hurt Obama and Edwards more than you let on. If this is a battle of change vs. experience as the media and the campaigns have made it out to be, people who are truly on the fence will shift toward what they percieve as the \"experienced\" candidate in the face of bad news abroad. And you can't say that that's a construct created just by the Hillary camp...those big signs behind Obama say CHANGE instead of HOPE now for a reason.
Also, if enough people shift to Biden to make him viable in enough precincts where he otherwise wouldn't have been, that locks out Obama (and Edwards to a lesser degree) from those vital ABC voters who might have padded their numbers had Biden not been viable.
That's my apolitical analysis of the situation. I have nothing against any of the candidates...I'm just trying to look at it with a completely independent point of view.
