1. I go with campaign and management experience and fundraising.
Although no Senator has been elected since 1960 and that was the exception that proved the rule.

3. I would go with the future and vote for Obama
Hillary is the past. Obama inspires people and unlike Hillary can energize people with his speech-making (like Bill). I don't think Obama has too little experience if you consider his entire career and everything he's accomplished.

5. Very undecided on that.
I really don't know. There are things I like and don't like about each.

NB. I'll support any Dem in the general election.

9. I'd loan you the coin...
...and if you wanted to do two out of three, that would be cool.

7. Obama.
Starting with issues, Barack Obama agrees with me on every issue except gun control (he wants to ban semi-automatic firearms, while I happen to like my guns.) Aside from that, he's very sharp.

Not only that, but he's shown himself to be a man of class and civility. While everyone else in DC was slinging mud at each other, Obama has been working to stay above that - complimenting Hilary Clinton when questioned by reporters about her running against him for President.

8. Obama, fresh talent - Hillary, they bring up the backdrop, the fact she's smiling, her demeanor
seems to have changed ya-dee-yada-yada! Hillary's team is using old playbooks with new backdrops. Like Bush she will say whatever it takes.

Obama hasn't as much experience but when you rate the collective experience between Cheney and Rumsfeld, (70 years) what do you come up with!! I have 110% in Barack's judgement!!
