Hillary's victory in Nevada is just one of many stepping stones to the nomination, as it is for Obama and Edwards. At this point, the most important thing to keep in mind is what the people want and need of a leader (actually leaders) as the president and vice president must function as a team for truly effective leadership; leadership that can erradicate the reversals suffered by the economy, human rights, humanitarianism and diplomacy under the GWB administration. Americans must vote to regain the right to be heard, the right to work, the right to privacy, and the right to due process of law -- all which we have lost under the current Republican administration. To me, the messages of Clinton, Obama and Edwards are similar in that they are all concerned about righting the many human rights and civil rights wrongs imposed since 9/11 in the name of security. Liberty remains the key to true democracy, and that is clearly something Americans must once again struggle for. What are we so afraid of losing that we are willing to give up the basic rights listed above? What is important is that we all vote on all levels (primararies, causcuses, the national election) to make sure that our voices are heard. Whether Edwards, Obama or Clinton wins the presidential nomination is really not that important as long as a viable presidential-vice presidential team is arrived at that represents the widest spectrum of American voices as possible, and that can help toward eliminating the stranglehold that America's greedy, bigoted, abusive and war-mongering elite has held on all levels of American society for far too long. I would vote for either a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket in a flash, or any combination with Edwards. I do believe that they all want the best for America, and that it is time to put people into office who actually represent what the middle and lower classes need, rather than what the entrenched interests want.
