7. Yes, I would be disappointed if Sen. Clinton did not win the nomination

I support her, and believe that she is the Democratic candidate who is truly ready to be President starting at 12 Noon on January 20, 2009. I believe that Sen. Clinton knows the issues like no other candidate does.

Now, on to the next question: can Obama deliver on new leadership? I don't know, because I have not heard enough from him, substantively. I need to hear more from him than just some broad "politics of hope" message. I need substance.

I worry that some Democrats (specifically here on DU) are looking for some pie in the sky. They are looking for some Democratic savior who is going to come in and solve all of the world's problems.

And I don't share that view. I don't think ANYONE can come in and just make everything better again. George W. Bush has made a complete mess, and he has not run a transparent government by any means. The next President is going to have a lot of issues to sort through, and given the political climate, there are going to have to be compromises and consessions along the one.

9. I'll be disappointed if Edwards doesn't win the nomination

but then I'll replace his bumper sticker with the nominee's and get down to the business of winning the general.

[flvegan]

10. Yes, but not as disappointed as I would be if Hillary won.

[Clintonista2]

11. No to the first question, Yes to the second question

I think that any of the Democratic candidates can change the course of American politics at this point.

[ElizabethDC]

12. Yes, yes, maybe. n/t

13. anyone notice an Obama upsurge in the past 48...?

[LWolf]

14. I would be equally disappointed if either HRC or Obama "won."

I would not be surprised at all if neither of them wins.

I do not believe that either HRC or Obama has any worthy "new leadership" to offer.

Since you asked.

[dogman]

15. No, yes , doubt it.

Congress wont change unless we change the Congress.

[2rth2pwr]

16. No, Yes. Last question- I don't know if it could be classified

as "new" leadership, it would be different but not new. A guy who doesn't vote on controversial issues, who is not willing to take a stand is not really a "leader".

[rinsd]

17. Yes, yes and I think so. (nt)

[dmallind]

18. Not at all

Would be a bit surprised as he is quite a ways behind right now and Clinton is running an excellent campaign, but there is so little policy difference between the two that it is no skin off my nose which one gets the nod if one of them has to (as looks likely). I'd maybe be a bit worried that Obama would not be as effective a candidate in handling the full savagery of a 100% focused slime machine from the right wing, but that's about it.

[IndianaJones]

19. I would be disappointed. On the other hand, Obama is a fine man and candidate....

and I would get behind him 100%.
