I think both of them deserve it. But based on the history of the U.S., I can assume that Obama will win the ticket for the race. KORNELIS

I don't think any American women will become president in America democracy. So, Barack Obama deserves the nomination. SALMAN MUADDIB

I think Obama is the best because he is clever. I won't recommend Hillary because she is very sentimental. RINA H

People of America tend to choose a candidate who has a "great" vision and mission in order to make a kind of "revolution" for the U.S. future.

Barack Obama knows what the people of America want in this era. He tries to propose the "soft" policy in his political policy. This is the right time for the U.S. to have a better figure of president than before. Overall, Barack Obama deserves the nomination. EMIL HARTANTO

Obama will win, U.S. needs change and this exceeds any negative side of Obama. KURNIAWAN SANTOSO

Obama has the character of a great leader. He is the strongest candidate. JOKO S.

Clinton deserves to be the first woman president of the U.S. SANNY

Like Australia, the U.S. needs a young leader with fresh ideas who has a strong commitment to world peace. In my opinion, Obama qualifies. WADIONO SARAGIH

I think Hillary Clinton deserves the nomination. ROBINSON PURBA PAKPAK

I don't think that the time is there that the U.S. can have an African American as their president. In case the Democrats nominate Obama, they will lose against the Republicans. There are more factors involved of course. FORBES WELLS
Bogor, West Java

The president of a superpower like America is expected to be a global statesman. But so far they have all been rabble rousers and war mongers totally insensitive to the feelings of the peoples of countries, especially those in the Middle East.

Hillary Clinton is no different. Obama due to his background seems more sensitive to the global situation and may be the best person to be the next president of America. YASH

I think Obama will represent the Democratic party because he's a charismatic and wise person. And most of all, he doesn't discriminate against people from race and hopefully from gender. CAROLINE
Jakarta

I think Obama should be nominated, because he is a strong, charismatic leader, an agent of change, who will bring fresh ideas, and a new face of American democracy. And if he wins the election, we could expect better American foreign policy in the future. GHIFARI
Surabaya, East Java

I choose Hillary Clinton for her experience, loyalty, sincerity, integrity. If you imagine how deep was the cut she suffered in the Monica Lewinsky case yet she forgave her husband sincerely, you will appreciate this is a rare quality in a leader. FRANS

America needs a change. Ideally the next president should be a young, black woman. Go Obama! ANDI BENSON

Obama should win the election. BABA HALIM

I'd prefer Obama becomes the president. U.S. needs reformation as well. BUNJAMIN

Hillary's the same as her husband. If American people want a change, they should choose Obama. I think Obama deserves the nomination. SRIKAN DIW

Americans may be ready for a white woman president but not a black president. Hillary should choose Obama as her VP. They will make an excellent team. PAT LISK
