Plus, 4 - 8 more years would force him to actually vote on things that could come back to bite him come the next election.

One of the reasons so many people like him, aside from being able to speak so elequently, is that he hasn't angered too many people yet. That would change if he spent another 8 years in the Senate.

Indeed.

It is exceptionally easy to talk about change. There are many eloquent and inspiring speech makers in the the world. I want to know how he's going to change things, with specifics of tax policy or health care or foreign policy.

When someone starts to do that and their plans can be analyzed by economists or foreign policy experts or whomever it can become less inspiring. The whole call for "change" in and of itself is not impressive, particularly with such an unpopular President and legislative branch. The plans for change are what is needed to impress me.

Vice-President Richardson would be nice.

I like President Bornieo

I'm super bummed that I didn't get to go and vote Obama in the AZ primaries. I'm registered independent, and it turns out that you have to be registered democrat to vote in the dem primaries. Um...I'm new to this whole politics thing.

AZ is now looking at passing open primary laws. I think this is stupid. Why should someone be allowed to vote for and assist in deciding the Republican nominee is if they are not a Republican?

A good mashup of the Yes.We.Can speech.
Also I was able to procure a few of these a week or so ago from a friend who had them printed by Shepard:

Well, I'm pleased to say that Washington went for Obama- so far Hillary is trailing considerably.

While I would have certain preferences for a vice president the actual person chosen plays maybe a 1% role in who I'll vote for come the general election.
