Clinton or Obama? Tacoma Will Decide This Saturday
John McCain will almost certainly be the Republican nominee.Yet, the presidential nomination for the Democrats is virtually tied between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Below are some recent speeches they gave. Who will make a better president? Most of the rest of the nation no longer matters as their delegates for each candidate have cancelled each other out.
The nation now looks to Tacoma (and the rest of Washington State) to determine who will represent the Democrats. Tacomans often say they want to be relevant in the state and in the nation. Here's our shot.
Make sure to find your caucus in Tacoma (or Pierce County) and participate on Saturday, February 9th at 1:00 p.m.
The best guide I found from either party was Obama's Caucus finder. Pretty high tech, If Hillary has one, please link to it.
Here's Washington caucus training.
Here's one of the last chances to compare the candidates
Obama : New Orleans February 7, 2008
Clinton : After Super Tuesday
The Next Two are Humorous U Tube Clips. Please brace yourself.
Clinton : Humor. Tom Cruise Campaigns with Hillary. The best humorous political clip on U Tube I have seen. Amazing.
Obama : Humor ("Obama Girl" 100 million views. Most popular viral video on the planet on the election. Here for educational purposes)
