1. Aw Mo,
I always suspected you were a god, but how in the heck did you manage to raise Jacques Cousteau from the dead?
Although, I must applaud your first effort. As would Al Gore.
Time for a sea-change, no?

2. Mo,
Great Burt Lancaster grimmace with that one gentleman!
little boy was so very cute! How hard you tried! I kept thinking of your poor camera man.
ah, clem at 3:03PM on Jan 8th 2008
3. I loved the clip of the little boy-and you all were so patient with him! I'd love to see more polling of young children (of course only when it is an age-appropriate question-which I'm sure most of your chosen topics are). They are so honest and uninhibited!

4. EXPERIENCE DIFINED!
Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton, claim is experience, (35)thirty-five years of experience, having been in elected office only (8)eight years or over (4)four times more elected experience than Hillary has had.
Experience is not Work Wasted, Do to Bad Judgement leading to Failure. Being the face of an (11%) rated Democratic Majority Legislative, Old People's Home, with nothing to show but failure is just another sign of experience based on work wasted, do to bad judgement, leading to failure. And, the Hillary Diane Rodham-Clinton lists goes on.
The election is based on the trail of TRIATHLON, (IOWA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND SOUTH CAROLINA). The Triathlon does NOT ELECT a leader it selects the chosen to be presented to the people as favored by the Gods of Fate for the People to then choose from. The Gods of Fate have dedided that they feel a Wind Of Change and the passing of the Torch of Generations must happen. In this election Change and the passing of the generational torch is the will of the Gods of the Triathlon.
Very Respectfully,
D. L. Graham

5. "This is not a philosophy class." Priceless.
That one gentleman was very Burl Ives-ish.

6. Aw Mo,
I don't wish to wax philosophic, but how priceless was that little dwarf in the second video?
For the last forty years, our elections have been about "sound bites." "Experience or change?"
Well, it looks like the electorate has finally woken up (is woken a word?). I don't think anybody is going out to vote this year based upon a slogan or one-liner.
Out of the mouths of babes, so they say.
God Bless.

7. Wow Mo, you really posted a brain busting question. Look at the results of the poll, they are neck and neck..
This is going to be a nail biter..
BTW.. with the way things have been run in the past 7 years, I TOTALLY choose change.
Most don't choose change because they are afraid of it. What is there to be afraid of? Things couldn't get any worse than the are now!

8. Aw Mo,
I wonder what would happen if you were to switch
"Change" and "Experience" with "Heart" and "Head?"
I've gotten enough "head" from the Oval Office to last me a lifetime. This time I'm going with my heart.
P.S., I'm never wrong.

9. WHAT IS WRONG WITH WANTING EXPERIENCE AND CHANGE. ARE WE ALL IDIOTS AND CAN ONLY HAVE ONE. WHAT IS ALL THIS CHANGE ANYWAY. YOU CANNOT CHANGE ANYTHING WITHOUT HAVING THE EXPERIENCE TO DO IT. I THINK THE LAW SDOULD BE 21 TO VOTE UNLESS YOU AE IN THE ARMED SERVICE'S. ALSO, MAKE OBAMA PLEDGE HIS ALLEGIENCE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG, WHICH HE WILL NOT DO. MAKE HIM TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW HE FIRST VOTED FOR THE WAR. ANYONE CAN SAY I AM FOR CHANGE, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYWAY HE IS GOING TO DO IT. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON OUR SOULS. WE MAY FEEL THAT IF OBAMA GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT BUSH WASN'T SO BAD AFTER ALL.

10. Wow! Close vote, Mo!
Haven't seen a vote this close since 2000 when they decided to vote for which pizza is better - Chicago Style or New York Style???
And I'm pretty sure I know how that guy ended up in the wheelchair...

Finally, I'm wondering which would be better... an experienced presidential candidate with a vice president committed to change... or a presidential candidate for change who enlists an experienced vice president.
Luckily, we now have our answer...

"Change AND Experience! Yes, it IS possible!"

11. Finn, Mama said that was heeeelarious!

12. Mo! In Spanish! It's so sexy!
But getting back to the video.... I loved, "Are you French?"
You're so quick!

13. Mo, quit being a caucus-tease and give us our top 5!
Gabrielle at 7:38PM on Jan 8th 2008
14. I'm with Gabby! We want the top 5, Mo!
And on a related note, I was just thinking...
If a toll booth operator ran for president, he/she could probably run quite successfully on the following campaign slogan:
Toll Booth Operator '08
"The Experience Necessary to Make Change!"

15. Who says Hill Billy has any real experience anyway? She was a WIFE-- where's her name at the top of anything that has EVER been accomplished?
It was Billy bought her the Senate seat. Where's the bills SHE passed as author and chairman? So she was ON THE COMMITTEE that helped some kids get health coverage... she takes credit for the whole bill on national television? For shame.
Obama actually has a lot of experience as the official, presiding head and leader... of civil rights rebuilding efforts in Chicago--building a coalition of people to work together in the community, successfully. Authoring and chairing bills that passed, became law and improved people's lives and impeded political corruption. Being PRESIDENT of Harvard Law Review.
Hillary never been in charge of anything officially, except the health care plan she designed with no input from anyone but her so brilliant self... then she wondered, resentfully it seems, that everyone didn't open wide to swallow hook, line and anchor! "Bah, Humbug!", Hillary!
And lets NOT FORGET that Obama TAUGHT CONSTITUTIONAL LAW for ten years.
PS. hey JOHN GIZA! have you noticed I've been using shorter sentences? Thank you so much for the heads up awhile ago. :) Your fellow Obamamaniac,
