That's one more vote for Hillary Clinton (if he can persuade his dad...)

May 4, 2008 |  6:32 pm

In the unusual position of running ahead of schedule, Sen. Hillary Clinton took her campaign caravan by a local Dairy Queen in South Bend, Ind., Sunday afternoon, picking up a Blizzard and making a friend with one would-be voter.

Also at the DQ were Dylan Panzica, age 7, and his dad. In his fist Dylan carried a few dollars to buy himself an ice cream for his birthday -- along with a Barack Obama pin that a volunteer for the Illinois senator had dropped by the house earlier in the day.

But Dylan said he was having doubts about his choice to support Obama: "My mom got mad at me," he explained. "She said nobody likes women anymore."

Clinton sealed the deal as she was waiting to order. The New York senator signed her name over Obama's on Dylan's pin.

Yawn.

Cute story.
I've already voted for Clinton in my state's primary and will be with her until the end. She would make a strong and effective President.
If Obama wins, I am on the fence...may vote McCain.

Obama is too inexperienced to be a President. He was only in national politics (Senator) 2 years before he ran for President, before that he was in state legislature only. Plus I don't like his association with Wright and his reluctance to denounce him and his anti-American speech until Wright had him against the wall. Not the leadership I am looking for in a President with our country in such poor condition.

I'm sticking with Hillary, because i know more about her, then the world knows about Obama! Not a risk i want to take!

...oh and if you're 7 you can't vote. I wish these 7 year olds would focus on the issues and forget about identity politics.

"Obama is too inexperienced to be a President. "

i think we need someone who is not ballsdeep in all the crap that goes on in washington these days, someone who is not influenced by connections and cronies, and has a FRESH look on where this country needs to be headed. i think Obama's inexperience will hopefully make him a better, if not one of the best presidents we've ever had.

to see utter cluelessness and some sauciness dipped in a dash of hope as sufficient or adequate to redress the failed policies and deeply encroached corruption of the government and nearly all its institutions in the past several decades, and the hostile takeover of the republic, driven by private special interests, really seems a far stretch. however, the return to a constitution based american republic and politics in the interest of the american people, is nearer than in many decades before; though interestingly enough, to make true change happen this time, to protest their choice and vote of conscience, perhaps we might even get to see millions of people write in the presidential candidate of integrity, RON PAUL.
