After reading that Clinton is 10million + in the hole, shouldnt that be a HUGE indicator that she should drop?

Obama is rolling in a sea of money, which clearly means he has the backing of people.

I had this conversation with my roomate (who is black) and he said he was bafled because a newscaster mentioned a lot of the money was speculated to have come from the black community, but if you go with the typical demographic are large chunk fall into the financial minority.

One would think to stereotype things that the housemom's for Clinton would be able to raise more money.

Clinton, for all intensive purposes, should have bailed after Super Tuesday but there is an obvious extreme desire for both her and Bill to live in the Whitehouse again. I wonder if it has as much to do with power as it does with the historical aspect of being the first woman president and Bill being the first president to become a first spouse.

In the long run, as much as this campaign goes on like a timex it probably has done more good than bad for Obama in that it opened his eyes to strategy adjustment. I think Obama is much more directly involved in the management of his campaign than the other candidates are involved in running their campaigns.

I found him to be more engaging on a personal level than Hillary, he is definately not elitist or as aloof as he was made out to be.

... for all intensive purposes ...

Was this a joke at Fandros' expense or do both of you not know that the saying is "intents and purposes?"
