Obama's Advantages vs. Clinton's

These two Democratic candidates will be a close fight until the end. However, both have advantages that can either benefit or hinder their progress in the race.

Mr. Quinnell stated in one of our classes during this past week, " Some presidential candidates have discovered a helpful secret in raising money for their efforts in television broadcasting and any other way to get their name out to the public. Obama is one of those Candidates that have found out this technique where as Clinton has yet to figure it out. But she is learning."
With this being one advantage that Obama has over Clinton, she has one of her own. She is known for Bill Clinton in his run for President.

Both Candidates have promised things such as a minimum wage increase and an increase of job opportunities if they're elected as President, but which one of these advantages do you think will result in a victory for one of these nominees on the Democratic side of the nomination?

One of the major hot topics for this election that effects the whole population is health care. I spoke with my mother on the phone who owns a pharmaceutical research company and she said she is voting on Hillary based on her health care promises. She did not get into great deal about Clinton's stand on health care because i had to run. If someone can chime in on this subject it would be great

At this point everyone has promises but who will have the strenght to fulfill those infamous promises.

Another way Obama is getting his message out their is through the internet. Just go to he's website, if you want to check it out you have to sign up. And if you do, in comes the emails. It is effective I must say. I really hope that if he wins he can deliver what he's proposing. Or any candidate for that matter. Anythings possible.

Im not really to sure about any of the promises these presidents have to offer on this election. Me being only 19, I was unable to vote during the last Presidential Election, but look at what Bush promised his people during his first and second election. I mean come on. By the time we qualify to draw out our social security, there wont be anything left. Need I say more?

Yes you need to say more; How or what do you suggest we "America" can do to fix the SS system?

First, I would like to disagree with the statement that says Hillary has an advantage because of her husband Bill Clinton. If your talking about his experience about the techniques he used to become president then I will agree, but if your saying that Hillary has an advantage of becoming president because everyone liked her husband as president I would disagree. Reason beings is because, Bill wasn't entirely loved by everyone after not telling the entire truth of his sexual relations. This is just one of his mistakes he did. There are other things that he may have done that gave him a bad name. Thus, it may have an effect on her.
