Hillary vs Obama for president

While it is of course understandable that people within the same party are going to agree on much, ti seems strange that the only two main democratic candidates for the presidency don't differ much on their policies and values.

It seems as though there's such a small elite inner circle who vie for the presidency amongst themselves. Is it possible that someone like Barack Obama could be a part of the establishment plans as much as any other candidate?

Many Americans are eager for change as well, but a change to what? Democratic or Republican political opinion. I think a lot of times, people get these unrealistic ideals inside their heads and they think they can materialize them while they are not feasible with the standard social platforms...such as death penalty sentencing for instance where it is easy to say we should take an eye for an eye. However, the answer is not always so easy.

CNN constantly covers the campaign and you can expect a vast amount of spin on the story as race continues. Analyst on Larry King may include a celebrity line up like Ben Stein. On Lou Dobbs, you're likely to find more pundit speak.

I don't always get a chance to watch TV, but when I do, the news is probably the most entertaining thing on. Everyone wants to know what's really going on. People want to be surprised by the events of the news. We are always waiting to see that next big headline. What could be more tantalizing?

How could there be, for so many decades, basically just white men to choose from for president, then all of a sudden in 2008, the democrats have a big ticket alternative race and alternative gender candidate. What changed? Is this inevitability?

Democratic debate goes easy

Democratic debate news - After much anticipation over the first serious presidential debate to take place between Obama and Clinton, you may leave feeling just a little bit disappointed for lack of conflict.

If you expected the two democratic presidential front runners for the 2008 election to have a heated debate, think again.

Much goes agreeable for the two candidates with the exception of few marginal differences such as how universal health care should be and how difficult it should be for immigrants to get drivers licenses.

As for the war, neither candidate offers the hard line edge that the republicans put on.

Whether or not you buy the right ring politics is a coin toss, since the party is so expectedly polarized this campaign season.

Who will be president? Well as we know this is still remaining to be determined, but no matter what happens, if the democrats win, this will be a quite historic presidential election.

Some conspiracy theorists would say that they are all involved. It is interesting to think that Hillary is of course espoused to a former U.S. president and Obama is, in fact, a distant relative of Dick Cheney....?????

Yeah, this is real! It may be hard to believe, but you can bet the presidential candidates are indeed connected.

Presidential candidates have agendas to keep. Is it true that the candidates are battling it out in a national arena of politics...? Or is it the case that we are just watching a play at the Grand Ole' Opera house?

It is said that the President can be predicted based on their connection to royalty. Now that we have players of a different ilk than ever before, are we still gonna be bound to this old wives tale of presidency?
