The Sheer Size of the Crowds and the Enthusiasm.

I was late to decide on Obama during the primary season. I liked Clinton and *cough* Edwards early on. By the time it came to vote I had moved over to the big O's column and am I glad.

I was standing in line to vote in the primary still torn between Clinton and Obama. I wanted to vote for Obama but I was afraid he would not make as good a candidate in the general election as Clinton would. Then I told myself either of them could win this thing this year, so I went with my heart.

I admire Senator Clinton very much and believe that if she had won the nomination she would also be winning right now.

But honestly, does anyone think she would be doing as good a job of building a movement for change, not just at the top of the ticket but all the way down to dogcatcher?

2. I did vote for Hillary in my primary

and I do think she would be winning if she had won the nomination.

However, I agree with you that Obama is doing a better job of building a movement for change than Hillary would have.

I can't wait till Nov. 4.

Go Obama!!!

3. She would also be winning now, i'm sure!

But it would be an amazingly dirty campaign from both sides, but there's now doubt in my mind that the passion that Obama brings is much bigger than Clinton could ever have done, especially among African Americans.

4. Right!

It is precisely the kind of campaign Obama has been running that has made the difference. Not that I saw this coming, but I think his insistence that this is not about him (or John Sydney McCain) it is about us, America.

Senator Clinton would have fought fire with fire, souring the electorate with the same divisive tactics we see from the dark side.

5. I would have been thrilled with either - all about issues with me.

Either choice is history. I don't do "should have/could have". Focus on fighting in the moment, and be ready to enjoy the victory that it will deliver in the near future!
