1. Good - So, Chris Dodd stops to be my favorite candidate among the declared

candidate. Obama is officially the one.

John and Al, time for you to declare. You are the two only ones that I prefer to Obama.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. despite my reservations, I would support him.

Oooh, pooooor hillary.

[Justyce]

4. I have a different preference, but I would

support whoever gets the Dem nomination.

3. Excellent

[depakid]

5. I wish him luck, but

don't be surprised when he says and does things that will come back to haunt him.

That's been a pattern the past two years, and I figure it will continue.

6. Fool. What a total fool.

Barack I would have thought you'd been smarter.

You're announcing waaaay to early. Early candidates usually get weeded out easily because of all the time to draw up the muck on them.

You better watch EVERY word you say as it will be twisted and changed in intention by the rethugs.

I really thought he would have had ANY political history class... One never announces so early if they are planning to win.

remember how Kerry turned in to the person who couldn't make up his mind. The republicans did a great job by giving him a flip flop reputation. And today they start on finding how they will label Barack to the public. Just more time now for Barack to live under the label... what a fool to have ignored political science. And it is one, it really is.

7. I think it's great he's announced early. Get all the idiotic rwingnut crap out of the way early.

Crap like comparing his name to Osama

Crap like saying he was raised by an extremist Muslim father

etc.


Although, he better be around for crucial votes since the Dems have a hair-thin margin in the Senate right now.

9. no, it's already proven to be a consistently bad thing.

Hillary can't even really run because the rethugs have labeled her "mean" so consistently. What ever they come up with on Barack (and they will) is only going to have so much more time to be driven into peoples heads. Really politics is a Science and candidates that announce this early don't last. He should have waited until at least next December.

8. Not always so... examples- Carter and Dukkakis

both were very early... also, Bill Clinton is in that group as well...
