Why Do I Love Obama?new
Ideologically, Hillary and Obama aren't much different. Ultimately, this race comes down to credibility, and I have my own complex reasonings for wanting Obama to be our next president.

Why John Edwards' Policies Caught On, But He Didn'tnew
John Edwards ended his '08 presidential campaign where it began, in New Orleans.
