Barack Obama ‘08!
So I’ve been reading up on the upcoming Democratic presidential candidates. We have Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards.
Now let me state first hand so it’s open and in the clear: John Edwards is your classic scumbag politician. First of all, he is credited for making medical malpractice the issue that it is now, as he loves to sue the life out of doctors. Secondly, he’s the world’s biggest hypocrite. For example, he’s strongly against Wal-Mart and is trying to help its employees form a union (you can decide whether that’s good or bad), but then he uses his political power to coerce Wal-Mart to get him a Playstation 3 on launch. Stupid!
So yeah, I don’t like John Edwards.
I think Hillary Clinton will be a good president, but she is becoming too conservative for my tastes.
Then we have Barack Obama. I agree with almost everything this man says. See this article for his voting record during the past eight years.
So in the end, I think Barack Obama has my vote for 2008. Of course, we’ll have to see how the primaries turn out, but if he makes it as the Democratic presidential candidate, he’ll get my vote.

I am compelled to point out that John Edwards never coerced Wal-mart to give him anything. IT was a staffer of his that asked Wal-mart for a PS3, and Edwards (when he found out) declined it.
You don’t have to like Edwards, but at least get the story right
