Comments on: Why Obama Won South Carolina

Increased Turnout Among Young And New Voters, Desire For Change Fueled Obama's Victory

[alphaa10-2009]

In the South, Obama campaigns in receptive territory, but there is still much ahead to upset or stall the campaign.

Native Southerner Edwards was disappointed, despite his appeal on a wide platform of economic justice-- redeveloping American prosperity, and helping the middle class recover from the Bush years.

Son of a textile mill worker, Edwards knows growing American poverty and declining middle class prosperity brings doom to this nation.

Written to the Rustbelt, and other blighted urban areas across America, the Edwards platform fits the whole country better than a strictly regional appeal to the South.

On Iraq, Edwards-- unlike the others-- has a definite timetable and plan to extricate us from a regional civil war that has raged longer than WW2. Unlike Clinton, he has no intention of an "Iraq Lite" into the indefinite future.

Since poor healthcare is the chief burden of poverty, Edwards offered the first, and most comprehensive of national healthcare plans of the three candidates.

Clinton''s healthcare plan is closer to the hopes of those who want no plan, at all. Clinton''s plan relies on strategic private "partnerships", which sounds like HMO advertising. Strangely, Clinton continues to get cash from the same people who opposed her first effort at a national healthcare system. For his part, Obama stood in the senate lobby during a vote to let seniors buy drugs from Canada-- later revealing he gets money from the drug industry.

Why Obama Won?

Two U.S. soldiers were killed in separate bombings in Baghdad, the military said Sunday.

Many Americans know Senator Barack Obama will end the Iraq War!

3,934 U.S. Military Dead in Iraq as of today.

This may have a little to do with it.

Sen. Obama always makes the point the Iraq War should never have been authorized, no matter how well its going, the Senator claims the U.S. should never have went there in the first place.

What other choice do we have, Hillary and Bill?

Can anyone honestly - repeat - honestly tell me what stepin fetchit junior REALLY stands for?

Not that I love Hil - any Dem running is a gutless wonder, as is Ronnie Paulistinian...but this is a hypocritical boy wonder who stands for nothing except charming the Hollyweirdo and Victicrat crowds.

We vote for America - not for boy wonder. The guy is already on record saying he won''t defend us, ergo, anyone who votes for him won''t mind another 9/11.
