NOT who do you WANT to get it, but who do you think WILL get the demo nomination. I know at this point it's probably still anyone's guess, but who do you THINK is gonna get it?

(I personally am a Republican, but obviously, I am interested in who gets the Demo side of things.)

I know, this is such an interesting race and we are all very much interested in who will get the nomination.
so far, i would have to predict Obama and would bet money. His momentum is flying through the roof.
Of course, this could change and anything is possible. But from what I have read and the polls I've seen, Hillary is slipping fast. Ted's endorseing Obama didnt' help much.

I am a registered republican who desperately wants to be a democrat. I really feel like the republican party has abandoned all things that originally drew me in. I have closely watched the democratic race and pray to God Barak Obama wins. Otherwise, I'll have to settle for John McCain. If its between Hillary and Romney, I'm finding a third party.

Default Why is the media ignoring Edwards?

Obama wants to EXPAND ON THE NAU AND NAFTA FOLKS.

Hillary I cannot fathom.

I think Obama will reach more new voters, undecided voters and disenchanted voters than anyone else. What's more, it seems that he's one of the very few--perhaps maybe Ron Paul--who are actually trying to raise expectations of our mainstream media to focus on issues that people really need to hear, discuss and understand.

For him being a Democrat, I don't get a sense that he's a party-first kinda politician. He seems to be one of the very few who, at his core, actually cares more about the broad cross-section of Americans rather than a narrow constituency or party-related interest group.

I want Obama to win. An election with McCain vs Obama would give us two good candidates with clear differences to choose between. But I'm afraid that Hillary is the establishment favorite within the Democratic party and she'll get the nod.

So the voters will be left to decide who they're going to vote against.

I am soooo fighting against falling into these kinds of thoughts...it has been so long since I've dared to believe that good will triumph over evil, positive over negative, truth over hidden agendas. Keep the faith! Positive actions flow from positive thoughts...

IMO Clinton. Obama may have the MoJo, but Clinton has the Superdelegates.

Frankly I think Obama is example of the left wing of the democratic party.Look at his record and that of hillary clinton and it is clear neither is a bluedog democart.So in the end the democratic candidtae will be from the left wing of the party.Kennedy certainly wouldn't endorse anyone he does not think will lead from the left wing of the party.
