Well, just back from voting for the next president of the United States.

We had a record turnout for the caucus today. Much more people than I have ever seen show up locally to select a presidential candidate.

The race between Obama and Clinton has really galvanized people to action.

We will know by late tonight who the Virgin Islands delegates will vote for at the Democratic Convention. We are not a winner-take-all state. Each delegate either pledges his or her support behind a presidential candidate or remain uncommitted. The voters elect delegates based upon who they are going to support.

All of our committed delegate candidates have gone behind Obama with two remaining undecided.

Clinton has come here twice before while her husband was president, but has not made a Caribbean trip during her campaign. Obama campaigned here and in Puerto Rico.

From talking to people outside the polls I project Obama will have a landslide victory in the Virgin Islands and that he will win all of our delegate votes.

I want obama to win!! I really don't care that he's half-black... as cool as it is too finally see a change in politics... but he's so emotionally stirring and inspirational.. so much so that even the young people WANT to be involved in politics. Something that Hillary hasn't achieved. Just look at the differences between their campaign speeches... you can clearly see that Obama's crowd is much more excited and riled up than Hillary's. He even got Will.I.Am inspired to write a song for him featuring a band of celebrities singing with him!!

People always say how inexperienced he is.. even Bill Clinton!! how ironic because when he was first running for president, people were saying the same thing about him!

I think an Obama victory would be an awe inspiring moment for the world.

But beyond that, I believe Obama is the first candidate in ages who is truly willing to reach out to the world. Nations are willing to talk to here where unfortunate barriers have been set up by past administrations.

It is amazing how the United States is the largest consumer of most countries' products yet at the same time have such acrimonious relationships with them. Recent market events have shown us that we truly live in a world economy. The continued growth and success of the U.S. will depend heavily on how we relate in the future to those nations.

And even at home...Obama grew up in and around what the average American experiences every day. He was not isolated from it or introduced to it when his political career started. He lived it. That is more than enough experience. He lived it and has been in politics long enough to know how to change it. As much as his opponents talk, none of them except Obama has been exposed to what our poor, our young, our new timers and our old timers on a continual basis. Experience is nothing without understanding, empathy and capability.

Yes!

Obama had a better than 90% showing in the Virgin Islands Democratic Party Caucus. This means that all nine of the Virgin Islands' delegate votes will be going to Obama.

I am guessing Lucia may be celebrating too as Obama's father is from Kenya and his grandmother still resides in the country.

My favorite is Hillary Clinton. She is Bill Clinton's wife. Bill Clinton was a very successful president and I am sure that Hillary Clinton will be successful,too.

I'm Canadian. I don't vote in US elections, but of course am affected by them. That is why I have been following the campaigns fairly closely. I hope that I am wrong but there is something very akin to "used car salesman" in Obama's presence.

2008 election farce seems to go on forever. Country is in bad shape when all available for president is this hollow trio. I would vote for a black person or a woman for president but neither of these two. Yes, Obama talks about change. Talk is cheap, what are his plans, more taxes? Who knows? He isn't saying. No experience, hearing problem. Sat in church for years and missed racist diatribe. Clinton running as Hillary. Does she think we forgot her husband's adulterous affairs? Which still go on today. Will she be president Hillary? More healthcare snafus? She has a clear vision too, a path straight to hell. And McCain. Seasoned politico, Washington insider, just a democrat in republican clothing. Did we have a choice to vote for him? No already decided by media. Anyone one of these three screwballs you hope becomes president, well, hope you are happy with your choice.

Any thoughts on the massive response that Senator Obama received in the Middle East and Europe?

Apparently he is already being hailed as restoring the world opinion of the USA caused by President Bush's foreign relations policies.

Sort of throws a damper on Senator McCain's claim that Senator Obama has no foreign affairs experience, doesn't it?
