Heh, that's from a Dutch organization too. Doesn't USA have their own sites comparable to these? And not biased ones funded by candidates please :p.

EDIT: http://www.electoralcompass.com Gives me a top 3 of 1: Obama, 2: Edwards, 3: Clinton. StemwijzerUSA was: 1: Edwards, 2: Clinton, 3: Obama.

Yesterday marked one of the biggest days of the political elections of 2008, Super Tuesday. Twenty-four states held their presidential primaries or caucuses, and the results, in my honest opinion are amazing. There has been quite a few extremely close races between the top-runners for each party. Here's a mini analysis of what has happened yesterday, for the democrats there are 1681 delegates at stake, and for republicans there are 1020 delegates at stake.

Barrack Obama has won Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, and Utah

Hillary Clinton has won Arizona, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee

New Mexico is the only state left to have a projected winner, but I feel that Clinton can make a come back. She's only down a little over a thousand. Even though Obama has won many states, Clinton is still in the lead with the most delegates. Clinton has 811 pledged delegates, and Obama has 639.


The race for the democratic nomination is going to be very tough within the coming months. The District of Columbia, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin all have yet to hold their primaries and caucuses. Those are going to be the key states that will decide if Obama or Clinton will be the democratic nominee.

I personally would love for Clinton to win the nomination, not only that she's a stronger candidate to run against the republican leader, McCain. Obama doesn't have a chance against McCain, IMHO.

I'm very proud of Clinton :).

I know this is double posting, but I'm sure it'll be allowed. I found this video while doing research on what Senator Obama has accomplished in the senate. And to be honest, I think this video tells a lot about Senator Obama. Check it out:

Seriously, that post is almost as sad as the one about the chain-letter..
This guy wasn't prepared to answer a question he obviously didn't expect, but how does this tell a lot about Barack Obama?

You should do more research, and perhaps start here: Kirk Watson's reaction to this on his blog

My point being that if you support a canidate, and endorse them, yet can't name an accomplishment on national television, why are you supporting that canidate? I've never seen anyone that couldn't name at least one thing that a canidate has done. More to my point is that voters don't take a hard look at the facts before they vote. That base their vote on what they've heard, and to me that's heartbreaking because our country is falling now more than ever, and we need a president that has the experience.

Clinton's never been president and so has no experience?

Secondly, what has Clinton ever done?

Thirdly, the whole point of the election is for people to vote on a candidate from what the candidate says they will do for them. How is the election not supposed to be won by what has been heard? That's pretty fucked up 8-)
