    This talk about about Clinton's "experience" being somewhat advantageous over Obama's lack thereof is very remeniscient of the same talk that i remember from the Nixon/Kennedy campaign when I lived in the U.S. in the early 60s, I think history proved who was the person most fit to be president. I feel that Obama's ability to inspire is what is needed to bring your country out of its doldrums and restore it to greatness. I wish we had someone like him in Canada.

    Thank you South Carolina, you have proofed the greatestness of the United States of America as a Nation created by GOD and still under GOD and will believe and aspire to be GOD chooosen Nation on Earth as we always pray and rant "GOD BLESS AMERICA"
    Where on this Earth where Jews,Christians,and muslims,white,blacks, natives and Asians live in peace and tolerence as GOD intended !!!!???. Look at the rest of the World where still human beings are killing other human beings because of their race, religion and political opinions.Common, we, as human beings, are better than this. We are the children of GOD with a common ancestor in Adam and Eve.
    Now, we as Americans understand what pressure and sacrifice was put on South Carolinians: put to choose between your race and your mother, that is very cruel!!!

    It might be useful if membersof the media respond to any suggestion that the 2/5 Florida counts by asking: "Do you think that the perception that the Clinton camp is trying to change the rules helps her prospects?" That's as absurd as the idea that over 200,000 people in Michigan came out in the snow to vote AGAINST her --in another contest that meant nothing-- shows strength." I don't know if the 2/5 contests will go for Obama. Unlike the first four, they will not be contested as "retail"politics . But I do know that a lot of this person's identity as a Democrat depends on the idea that we play by the rules.--it's the Rovian Republicans who are dealing the three card monte.

    On an issue of race. hey Obama got more whites to cross over than Clinton got blacks to cross over. If that trend were to continue elsewhere, Clinton should be worried. As for MSNBC siding with Obama.... they've been rather unfair to Obama for quite some time now. I'd say MSNBC is as neutral as they have been for awhile.

    Last time I checked, Obama's name was on the ballot here in Florida, no matter how much he wish it weren't. Floridians will be voting this Tuesday and if polls are to be believed, Clinton will win. Obama's labeling the Florida primary a "beauty contest" is really an insult to the voters of Florida who were screwed once before in 2000. If there's any poetic justice it's that the winner will most likely be able to get the Florida delegates seated at the convention in spite of the stupid decision by the DNC and its idiotic chairman, Howard Dean, to try and deny this.

    This is Ludicrous!!! Its pretty much obvious that the Clintons already conceded this primary since early last week when Hillary left the state and campaign elsewhere. The results were already been expected and should be anticlimactic.

    To me this is still a big plus for the Clintons because they were able to make obama stuck in SC for the whole week.

    With 10 days to go before Mega Tuesday wherein there are 22 states involved. That will be like 2 states per day, I dont think Obama has enough time to catch up with Hillary's built up leads on those areas.

    Problem I have with the Clintons. Is they want to turn back the clock. I don't want to look back. It's better to look forward. Looking back will get us no where but more trouble. I voted for 2008 , not the 1990's. The 90's were great, but too much damage has been done in the past 8 years getting back to the 90's would take a few decades to get to. And I can't count on Bill Clinton's expe... oh wait who's running this year??

    MSNBC is so disgusting to see one sided coverage biased in favor of Sen. Obama. Nut head, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, and his guest appears to be lackeys of the Obama camp. Without justification they are using their position to propagate hatred against the Clintons. Shame on them and MSNBC for dragging this channel to the standard of Fox news.

    What you are disgusted with is the inability of any Republican to inspire like Obama can. After 8 years of devisiveness, both nationally and globally, we need a leader who can inspire, a leader who can motivate, a leader who people natiaonally and globally can believe in. The details can be negotiated but to be able to inspire the effort is unique

    This could be a new day in American politics. Dare I hope for the destruction of the devisive partisan oligarchy in both major parties? Obama, please lead us out of our political malaise - together!

    Caroline Kennedy, the remaining survivor of the Camelot White House, has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, passing the torch to the candidate who offers hope and provides inspiration.

    Fitting.

    What you are disgusted with is the inspirtion and enthusiam Obama can create. YOu wish a Republican could do that. After 8 years of the embarassing dvisive policies of this administartion both nationally and globally we need someone who can inspire, lead, and bring about the kind of pasions that Obama can. The world needs inspiration from America

    Believe me HILLARY will fight back! SHE IS STILL LEADING THE NATIONAL POLLS! She is the only candidate who is ready on day one. She can easily defeat the Republicans. I want her to win since I believe on her vision and her experience. Obama still needs to gain more experience and HILLARY is already ready!

    GO HILLARY for 2008!

    If the national audience of non political aficionados was to be exposed to a speech by Obama such as he delivered tonight, in a general election setting, we could have a landslide, that is the power of Obama. Those insistent on casting Hillary as the candidate can expect a nasty election that she might squeak out a victory in, or might lose, as she is very divisive--a type of president that many of us are tired of. Enough Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton political polarization. It's been going on since 1988 and it's time we move on.

    It is going to be a long, hard, wonderful campaign all the way. We have three passionate candidates that are igniting the base, winning over Independents and convincing even Republicans to take a second look. Let's get behind the message of unity. The beauty of today's overwhelming win by Obama is that we are beginning to see the end of difference based on genetics - we needed this - now we can focus on issues.

    Why America should be controlled by 2 big families, like Bushs and Clintons?
