What is change??
If you want change, the real beginning of such change was glaringly staring you in the face last night! The Democratic party will nominate either an african-American or a woman as a primary nominee for the first time in history. That is real change and can't be as bad as any white male, greedy-ass, gun-loving Repub.

I was for change and supported Edwards, but now that I think about it, he was white and physically from the usual mold of the past. Either Hillary or Obama present prime evidence of real change in just who they are, which Edwards could never do without surgery. I also understand that just getting nominated by any party does not win national elections. Both these obvious candidates for change have to appeal to enough American centrist and left leaning voters to get elected; otherwise it is just a another Geraldine Ferraro moment.

Personally I now lean intuitively toward Hillary because I just feel she sees the changed world more the way I do, but my feeling is not overwhelming. I could be happy with Obama, and felt very satisfied and proud watching last nights debate. Good things are ahead eventually if we can manage to get one of these two elected come November. Always remember the need to complete the deal and what may be necessary to bring that about. It is an ugly process potentially, but it is all we have! Intuitively I feel good about our potential candidate, but am worried about closing the deal with America come November!!
