What are we seeing here? Here is what we are seeing here!

We are seeing history being made! And there is nothing wrong with that! At the age of 58 I am proud to see this man have a chance, a very good chance, to run for President and do well while doing so. I do believe he is a qualified candidate. I believe his heart is in the right place and I believe he wants what is best for this country. I also believe that he just might be exactly what this mess of a country needs. A fresh start! I am an Edwards supporter. But I have absolutely no problem saying that if, Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I will gladly, proudly and sincerely support him. There is nothing wrong with this man running for President. There is something wrong though, when as Democrats, as a people, we chastise someone with the utter sickening and degrading remarks that I have seen here and other places. I sometimes wonder if I am reading remarks on a Republican site! We are better than the Republicans are, so let's start acting like it!

3. Regardless of who you want to win the primaries it is historic

as is a woman who is still the perceived front runner. I'll vote for the dem. candidate and I love seeing the level of the democratic turn out and the excitement of new voters.

5. Thank you! Here's a high five to you!

It DOES feel good doesn't it?

Don't let the bigots and the asses get you down - like the poor, they will be with us always. We'll just continue working to change the world around them.

And there are way more of us than there are of them, so we'll be alright.

7. and we are seeing the old order of the democratic party collapse

There is a contagious nature to this that is rare in politics and cannot be stopped

[roguevalley]

8. its time for the issues to drive the candidacies. I agree with you,

michaz. this is good times we are living in.

9. he will be the nominee and the next president

what is happening is contagious and cannot be stopped.

For us old guys we realize that we are not watching a black president but a black Jack Kennedy.

The old power of the democratic is collapsing and in a very few days they will be embracing their new leader.

He not only will become president he will become the most dominant leader of the Democrat Party and he will remake it as an experienced community leader.

10. I am not sure we are seeing a "Jack Kennedy" here.

I really think we could be seeing a "Barack Obama"! A man with his own ideas and agenda. There may well be similarities, but I think this can be a man who stands on his own merits!
