If 44-year-old Barack Obama  goes on to win the nomination he will square off against someone 25 years his senior in John McCain. That's the largest age gap between candidates ever. Bob Dole/Bill Clinton is second place.  I'm 27 years old, its like me running against a toddler.  No wonder McCain seems to have so much trouble taking Obama seriously.

He needs to start taking him seriously and fast, just ask the Clintons.  For some reason the senator from Arizona seems to think the experience strategy that obviously isn't working for Hillary will somehow work for him.  I think voters were turned off by his rather patronizing tone -- giving Obama a "news flash" that Al-Qaeda is in Iraq. I thought Obama handled it well, thanking McCain for the update and pretending he hadn't been reading the papers. He then reminded McCain that Al-Qaeda wasn't in iraq before Mr. Bush and Mr. McCain led us in there.

If they are the nominees, this exchange is the race in a nut shell. McCain reminds voters of his knowledge of the world and combat, and Obama links McCain to the war and the President and calls for change.

Dr. Ron Paul is are only real chance at change. He's been trying for twenty plus years. DC is in such a mess it can't be changed from the bottom-up, it needs to be changed from the top-down. America needs to stop trying to take over the world and concentrate on bringing this country back to a position that will gain respect around the world and bring pride back to it's citizens. close the 700 military bases around the world, bring our troops home and let them secure our borders and ports. Reinstate real tariffs and let the rest of the world mature on it's own. It took three hundred years for America to become great and only a hundred for it to collapse to it's current unrecognizable state it is today.

My name is Kevin Hirten. I'm a producer with a passion for politics. I work behind the scenes, but get a front row view of the issues and stories that affect Hampton Roads. This is the most exciting election we've seen in more than 50 years and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
