Re: U.S. Presidential election 2008

I think Obama should win the nominations. Hillary Clinton isn't much of a change, despite being a woman. The phrase goes "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." and I agree with it about her. She's nothing new under the sun, just another of the same generic presidential clones from the democratic side. McCain is the generic presidential clone from the republican side. What Hillary has going for her is that she's a woman. That's about it. Most of her experience isn't even applicable to the White House (unless she was a big part of her husband's administration, which would make me worried). Senators have a completely different job than the president.

In this instance, I think Obama's lack of experience could be a good thing. He will get to start from scratch, so to speak, and learn his job from the ground up, rather than having a couple more decades to color his perspective of what he should be doing.

Harboring fugitives from the law can be something as simple as giving an escaped convict a hot meal when they're cold. Guild by association has roots in law, not just social perception. That said, I agree with you. I find it strange that Obama goes to that church, being the kind of guy he seems and makes himself out to be, but I couldn't say I'm against him because of the place he goes to church. That's just ridiculous.
