This is politics at its best!
A close race between two passionate candidates. People coming out in record numbers to support our party. A race that won't be decided until possibly 3 hours after the polls close.

This is what political junkies like me dream of... it wouldn't have been fun if Obama ran away with the nomination, would it? ;)

1. Agreed. And...
it wouldn't have been as fun if Hillary had run away with the nomination, either. :-)

This is going to be good. Two strong candidates fighting for the nomination.

5. Agreed
I don't want either of them to run away with the nomination. I want a passionate, close race where both of the candidates discuss the issues and we get the best candidate we possibly can.

11. I'm truly loving it.
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 09:38 PM by liberalmuse
My candidate is doing pretty poorly (Kucinich), but I'm very heartened to see the large turnout numbers, and this looks like it isn't going to be a replay of the 2004 John Kerry-takes-all type of primary. People are passionate this time around, and they're not going to let anyone tell them how to vote. This shows me that people are actually thinking seriously about who they want to be their next President (at least on the Democratic side).

13. Yup
South Carolina and maybe even Nevada should be exciting races to watch.
