Most agents of change aren't worth a nickel. Oh, and I learned a long time ago that just because someone talks well, doesn't mean they're smart. If you think someone's smart, it just means they're smarter than you are. Change? Most agents of change aren’t worth a nickel.

They will learn, soon enough, that the price tag for Obama's idea of "change" is very steep indeed. Young, "change"-hungry whippersnappers: you ignore historical experience at your own peril. Namely, that "free" is wonderful...until you actually have to start paying for it.

Needed two halls and there were still people who couldn't get in. Then he went on to ID where 14000 showed up to see him. There were only 4000 Dem caucus goers in all of ID in 2004. Another huge crowd in MN and 20,000 in St Louis yesterday. Jeff is right. Obama's been turning young and old out in record numbers. There's nothing fake or phony about Obama and his policy proposals are solid. He's the smartest candidate running for president. Compare that to McCain who has reversed course 180 degrees and now thinks we should continue slashing taxes as if the $9 trillion dollars worth of debt doesn't exist.

According to history, blacks and women don't get elected either. But you're talking about a very pissed off country. Obama's "change" is hollow, but this country is desperate for change and he's the only charasmatic guy that's talking about it convincingly. The youth <em>will</em> turn out in droves this time; let's just hope they don't disappear again when they realize Obama is fool's gold. We'll need them to enact real change in the near future.

The question is, will Obama change history. In respect to getting the youth out to vote, I think he will. According to history you are correct. The question is, will Obama change history.
