Why do people vote for Hilary and Obama?

I don't think obama will win for the very reason that the clinton campaign hits him so hard for. Inexperience. And not because he doesn't know what's going on, but because unfortunately you do have to know how to play the game. American politics isn't based on "who's the best candidate" it's based on who can play the political game the best. Who can raise the most money, who can get the right kind of press, who's got the best team or writers and stategists, who's got the most favors to call in, who can get their face plasters on the most magazines and TV ads, who can fool the masses the best. And unfortunately for obama he just doesn't have the Washington experience that Hillary does. I don't mean that as a slam to obama, I'm very cynical about politics and for the reason he appeals to me, but I don't think he can win.

Obama has almost as much experience as Hillary does.  Why do you think Hillary has so much experience?  Her experience as first lady?  Don't make me laugh - in charge of one thing (health care) that failed miserably.  She is in her first term as a senator, just like Obama.  She hasn't had any legislation she originated passed in her first term.  She's definitely a lightweight when it comes to experience compared to people like Dodd, Biden, Richardson...even Dennis Kucinich!

 

And to all those who are not from the U.S. saying how they want a Democrat elected because it would so much better for the world as a whole, I laugh in your general direction due to your utter ignorance of American politics and history.  You think that U.S. foreign policy will be drastically different with a Democrat in the White House?  You're in for a big surprise.  Most of you probably don't know much about the differences (small though they may be) between Republicans and Democrats anyway.
