I <3 Obama and voted for him in the primary. However, I met Hillary once when she was first elected to the Senate and thought she was lovely, real and I would be happy to vote for either in the General. What an exciting year!

[cynematic]

Awesome prizes--I'm a-hoping for the Obama tote, which I'd give to my mom, along with some Obama books (hint, hint!).

[Sherrie Sisk]

I'm playin'!

[Sheila Korman]

What a great bunch of prizes! Thanks for having this giveaway!

[Lesha]

I LOVE the Obama bag. Thanks for the cool giveaway! :)

[Daisy]

I'm in! And by the way, I like the new tagline. "Rage Against the McCain" was clever, too, but this one reminds readers of your positive attitudes and spin.

[Daisy]

Oh, yes -- I'm supporting Senator Clinton.

[Michelle M]

I heart Obama!

[Leticia- Tech Savvy Mama]

Wow! What a cool giveaway for an anything-can-happen election year! It certainly has been interesting to see how the primaries are playing out and can't wait for the General Election!

[Crunchy Domestic Goddess]

what a fun contest. :) i'm all for Obama. thanks!

[bonggamom]

Count me in on your cool contest -- I'm an Obama mama! Thanks for all the great prizes!

[Florinda]

I'm in, but this means I actually have to make a decision on the candidates, don't I? Our primary was so long ago I actually voted for John Edwards :-). But I'm leaning in the Obama direction these days, so you can put me in that column.

I love this blog and think y'all are doing a fantastic job here!

[Lisa M]

I'm an Obama Mama and have the t-shirt to prove it. After the last 8 years, we need new blood. Not old blood that votes us into a war that's cost us much more than money. I'd love to win the Obama Tote.

[Beckie]

I <3 anyone who isn't McCain!! LOL! Does that make me wishy-washy? I guess if I had to choose I am gonna say Hillary, but I'd vote for either ;)

[Kristin]

I am proud that a MOMocrats link is on my blog...and, my heart belongs to Obama! Thanks!

[jodifur]

I'm an Obama fan! Yes we can!

Putting the momcrats button on my blog right now!

[Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah]

Fine. I lurk and I support Obama.

(Anyone can out me with free stuff.)

[Christina]

The button is there, and I'm in for this contest.

(Although I actually want the MOMocrats beach tote - I'm still feeling "eh" about either candidate. I'll vote for whichever wins the nomination.)

[Gayla McCord]

I'm a Hillary supporter. I took the kids to hear her speak here in Indiana. We're hoping to see her get the nomination and to tap Evan Bayh as her vice.

[Jenn]

Sounds like fun; how awesome of you all to do this, I'm in too! I am supporting Hilary Clinton but am worried about the road ahead; being realistic. My two year old son says he has "no idea" who will win. Really. Check him out here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtoCnwNT3gg Too smart. My MIL keeps trying to teach him to say HC will win (and I hope she does) but what makes me upset is she bashes BO and seriously is that necessary? Love this site!

[MammaLoves]

How cool is this?? MOMocrats Unite!!

[Karoli]

I love all of it, but the Obama bag would look especially nice holding all my stuff when I go to the convention in August (DNCC willing) ;-)

[Summer]

Ohhh, what a cool contest! Add me to the Obama part!

[Colleen]

Obama all the way!

[Marilyn]

I'll support (happily) either Obama or Hillary, but if I had to pick one I would say Obama right now. Thanks for running a quality top-notch site, gals!

[Sarah Granger]

This is one time I'm glad to be in the minority. I'm all over that Hillary clutch for my daughter. She's collecting handbags and lunchboxes (anything she can carry all of her toys in), and she has a Hillary lunchbox, but no bag.

[Shelli]

Count me in! A Hillary supporter here.

[Jill Asher]

Can I put my name in for either candidate? I go back and forth.... though today, I cast my vote for Obama. ... at the end of the day, i will vote for either candidate... Go Democrats! Kick some Republican tush... I can't say the word that rhymes with glass and brass or grass ......I am a mom for goodness sake! :)

[Cheryl Free]

I support Hillary Clinton 100%! I've had repeatedly unsolicited and unwanted contact from the Obama campaign that I find totally annoying and frustrating!! They don't understand what "no" means. I've pretty much decided that if Hillary doesn't win the nomination, I'll start looking in another direction.

*Thanks* for the giveaway!

[Amy in Ohio]

PICK ME PICK ME

[Cheryl]

I love Momocrats and I've got the button on my site now. But, I'm undecided still. Maybe I'm leaning toward Obama but I don't know. How's that for being decisive?

[meanderwithme]

Oh, I'd love to go to the convention -- DH says we'll go and march in the streets if we don't have a nominee by then. Since my folks live 45ish minutes south of Denver, there wouldn't even be a hotel bill, and FREE BABYSITTING.

Schwing.

Obama mama here, but I do also *quite* need a MOMocrats bumpersticker for ye olde minivan. You know, to go with the Obama one.

[Amy in Ohio]

I didn't give the info you asked for:

Rooting for Obama!

My blog is under construction - nothing has been posted yet, but the button is there!

[Mamikaze]

I am a Mom for Obama. ObamaMama is fun to say.

[Miss Britt]

I was going to comment - but then I read Karoli's comment... and now I am too green with envy to think straight.

Is there room for me in that tote?

[Susan]

I am a voting for Obama- but with both oh what a wonderful world this would be!

[The Aitch]

Hi this is me leaving a comment to win some cool stuff yo!

[Jessica]

ooo me, me!
I prefer Obama.

[Kellyology]

Wow! So many prizes! I'm in.

[Lia]

Obama mama here!

[Laura]

I am loving the Obama prize - too cool!

[Caroline]

I'm a new blogger and absolutely LOVE your site! I am figuring out how to post your button this morning. Go MOMocrats! While I am "feeling" Obama, I just want a nom at this point and a democrat in office finally - lets get our party united already!

[Gudrun]

love that the Dems will win this year - hoping to see Hillary in office, but will be happy with either!

[ilinap]

I've been working tirelessly to boost the Obama vote in North Carolina. Our primary will actually matter this year for the first time in 20 years. I'll be putting up a grassroots video I just produced on my site soon. It's a piece about parents and why they support Obama. Stay tuned for more. Love what you're committed to on your blog!

[Allie]

I really enjoy the posts here. I'm a Hillary supporter. Thanks.

[Victoria Kondovski]

I love the Hillary bag. Very nice.

[andrea]

I'm an Obama supporter after being a die-hard Hillary supporter. Either way, I will be very happy!

[Kristin]

My mom and I are both Obama supporters. This would be a great gift to her for Mother's Day!

[whymommy]

Hi. I'm a total lurker here. Love you gals and your writing, and I'm so glad you're here.

I don't talk politics on my blog, but I'll say it here -- I'm a Hillary supporter. I think it's past time for a Mommy in the White House.

[mod*mom]

make the hillary totebag image at least as big as the obama + raise it up above the 2nd paragraph
