1. It's not
Some kind of crap I think the Obamatons are leaking. Look at the way the article was written. Obama is a very impatient man.

8. The sources weren't named is my guess.....
"former advisors say..." It's just poor journalism and one of my pet peeves when they don't name their sources. Somebody's trying to push John into a decision, I'm glad he's taking his time.

I hope he goes with the "seasoned gladiator" :D

2. Better Hillary than the Obamanation. I think it may be true. I hope it is but I would rather he hold
his fire till the convention but if he MUST endorse I hope it isn't Obama.I think that would tarnish him. But it certainly wouldn't get me to vote fgor him. Ever.

4. I with you Sara -
I think personally Health Care is the bigger issue here. Just imagine all of the other problems associated with not having Health Care fading away if we do adapt a Universal Health Care plan for the country. Obama's plan sucks eggs and I'm just not seeing John endorsing either, but if it has to be one, let it be Hillary.

5. I Can't Go With Either One... I Feel That Regardless Of What Either
one of them are saying, THEY are going to do what THEY want to if elected. Each one is just spouting words, just like all we heard from Reid & Pelosi. I find Clinton very calculating and some people she has supporting her really bother me. On the other hand, Obama seems "high" on his own personality! Kennedy & Kerry seem to have "picked" another loser!

I do realize that even here, some disagree with me, but frankly I just can't trust "words" anymore. Every time I hear Clinton start a speech I envision her with a hammer in her hand, pounding the podium as her voice rises to a certain crescendo and it turns me off.

While I hear about how WONDERFUL Obama speeches are, they are all scripted and "read" and it reminds me of Brutus delivering his "Friends, Romans Countrymen" speech!

It's just UGH for me!

7. I agree with you.
Neither of them appeal to me for your reasons and some of my own.

9. Me too!
I think of Brutus and that very speech, actually delivered by Mark Anthony who keeps repeating "for Brutus is an honorable man" (which he knew wasn't the case) and also "Brutus is ambitious" - well maybe he said, "isn't ambitious" but he meant BRUTUS IS AN AMBITIOUS MAN. Brutus had just killed his friend, Caesar, and this was the funeral oration. OBAMA IS AN AMBITIOUS MAN. I, too, keep hearing that speech!!!

6. I don't believe this is true. Many of her positions are opposed
to what he has been fighting for.

As much as I respect John, whether he endorses Hillary or Obama, I'm not going to take that as a decree. He is figuring in different characteristics to his decision than I am to mine. Doesn't mean I disrespect his decision making at all.

10. Personally, I hope he endorses no one
I would rather he not endorse either of the two remaining candidates. I have my issues with Clinton, but I have developed a stronger dislike for Obama.

His traveling Salvation Show, is all fluff. His messages are empty rhetoric, with very little substance or explanation. Not to mention how mean and nasty his supporters can be to anyone that doesn't tow the Obama line. They have developed into a cult mentality not unlike the followers of Bush in 2000.

The only person who offered the promise of real change in DC was John Edwards and he was kicked to the curb by the media, never receiving the coverage his campaign deserved.

Just my .02 cents for what its worth.

11. I am left cold with the thought of him endorsing. He made one big mistake when he suspended, he
does not need to compound it with a second by endorsing.
