    TIME TO TURN THE PAGE!!!!

    Obama has brought so much positivity and a new generation of voters to the DNC that if he is not the nominee, the DNC WILL lose a large number of supporters.

    They have two fundamentally different views in their governing styles. Obama is for OPEN and TRANSPARENT government, not taking money from special interest groups. HRC is for special interest groups. This is THE MOST important issues because it ends up affecting HOW the people's interests are being represented in D.C.

    I was a long supporter of the Clintons and believe Hillary could do the job. But, what our country needs right now is a unifier, who can build relationships across party lines, without the baggage of the past, special interests groups, etc... Furthermore, I am shocked at the campaign of the Clintons. They are turning off voters.
    Obama is the LONGEST elected official in the democratic primary, serving for 11 years in the state and federal senate. He believes that education is an investment in our future and is willing to make community colleges free for our citizens. Obama believes the government should impose fines on corporations that pollute greenhouse gases, then using that money to provide ???green??? or environmental friendly jobs to urban and rural communities. This plan is the best long-range plan to boost our nation???s economy, create jobs and discover energy alternatives.

    Obama also supports Veterans Housing, physical and mental health care for veterans. He believes in diplomacy, before quickly moving to war without all the facts. Obama was against the war in Iraq when it was unpopular. Obama is for the working and middle-class family. He will put $4,000 towards each college student???s first year tuition. These are some of the MANY reasons I support Sen. Obama.

    A vote for Hillary Clinton today is a vote for the Republicans down the road. There is no one they would rather run against. There is no one who can unite them more. They are much more afraid to run against Barack. He can get independents and maybe even some disenchanted Republicans too. Wake up Democrats, or you will blow it again. The Clintons are the past; Barack Obama is the future.

    I have been closely watching the democratic candidates campaign at S.C.and i have seen a stark difference between Barak and Hillary. Barak represents hope and has been a great asset bringing new voters into the politcal process. Hillary on the other hand has a baggage and she is shunning voters out of the political process....who do you want as your president? I let you decide behind the certains. Felix in MN.

    I don't see much difference between the tactics of Clintons and Carl Rove. I detested Rove's campaign tactics and by the same yardstick, I detest Clintons' tactics. Although I am a democrat, if Clinton is my party's nominee, I am going to take at McCain closely. If he does not have any "deal breaker" views, I will vote for him. I hope there will be a third alternative. Are you listening Bloomberg?

    Hillary's "cheap shot" about Obama's having worked for a "slum lord" was in direct response to Obama's cheap shot about Hillary's having been on the board of directors of Wal-Mart for five years, for which she was paid a (not) whopping $18,000 a year. Why does the media continue to characterize Hillary's fact-based criticisms of Obama as "cheap shots" while dutifully reporting everything the Obama camp says about Hillary as if it were fact? Obama's response to Hillary's revelation about his connection to slum lord Rezko -- to shrug it off as only five hours of work he did as an associate at a law firm -- was typical of his arrogance in this campaign. Hopefully, further revelations of his long-standing association with this slum lord will be enough to make people see that he's got some unsavory baggage of his own.

    I'm not a supporter of either Obama or Hillary but I really think Obama supporters just turn a blind eye at some things. Obama hit Hillary first with the Walmart comment and Hillary followed with Rezko. BTW, working for corp America is not a crime, most of us work for corporations.
    Also if you look back to last Oct. it was Edwards and Obama who started bashing Clinton.

    It seems to help Clinton either way, because Obama has been wanting to play clean. Although, there is only so much you can take before you fight back. She knows this and either way he can't win. If he says nothing about her remarks about him he'll look weak. If he stands up and starts to fight back to look strong, he'll look like he's not the sort of stand up person her claims to be. To sum it up, Clinton is doing what her and Bill do best, play the American people like fools.

    Inspiration is enough....Bill and Hillalry are white trash.....she dresses like a bell hop and he looks like a dirty old man.....their tactics are dispicable.....she has accomplished nothing as senator. I don't want a CEO running the country....she doesn't inspire people to feel part of the process. Barack's talent in mobilizing people is what we need. Who in their right mind wants a dynasty: Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton....then maybe Jed Bush will run in eight years. Barack is our only hope for feeling good about being an American. Bill and Hillary have never taken the high road....don't you remember the mess the first few years of his presidency....they had no idea what 'they' were doing. They are the most corrupt poltiicians I have ever seen. As for the MLK point, Hillary purposely brought it up to bring in the race issue.....that was the Clinton's intention. It's about time the press began looking at the Clintons critically.
