Friends in High Places

Hillary has a good plan? She had a social security and health care plan, but both failed miserably as I remember...

Endorsements do matter. However in some cases they go against you then for you. Obama getting the Kennedy endorsement is not necessarily a positive thing. Ted Kennedy is no JFK. Obama's problem is that although he has worked in public office for a number of years he just does not have the knowledge base that Hillary has. When they debate is often when you get the clearest picture of ones knowledge. Not when they are throwing flyers out or giving a rehearsed speech with glamourous words that someone wrote for them. Hillary seems to have a strong depth of knowledge on issues addressed in debates and Obama's knowledge seems to be very shallow. Hillary gets to the point with precise statements and Obama talks and talks and talks mostly around the issue to cover up his lack of knowledge. Can an endorsement help this lack of knowledge. I would like to say no, but America did elect Mr. Bush verses Al Gore. Do we want to make that mistake again. I hope not. I will support Hillary, She seems to have command of the issues and I believe will turn America around in a positive direction.

I agree that Obama seems like a nice guy and has high ideals. Unfortunately, I thought the same about Jimmy Carter, and while he is a great American, he did not work out well as President. I know lots of voters cannot remember, but I feel that the similarities are there. You have to be more than nice to get things accomplished in DC, you have to be politically savvy and able to shake hands with people even if you don't like them and have SPECIFIC plans to accomplish goals. Hillary has that and she also has my vote.

Ask Howard Fineman what he thinks about Hillary Clinton and if he answers you honestly, you'll understand why he hopes that endorsements matter this time when they seldom if ever have in the past.

Fineman says that "the Kennedy clan" endorses Obama. What does Fineman know that the rest of us don't? Since when were RFK's children, including the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, booted out of the Kennedy clan?

The same old, same old, carreer politicians as usual talking but never saying nothing.
Seniors in this country are a bunch of eggheads they fall for all the lies politicians tell
year after year. Obama, Hillary, McCain it doesn't matter the public will keep getting
the shaft until the old dinosaurs are gone from office. This is the ideal time for a viable
third party candidate, and term limits for the crooks in sin city.. When the voters act like
morons this is what you get. There is not a good candidate from either party. This country
is headed down the drain to socialism, you get what you asked for.

and Jamrock, your message is cool and all, but could you limit the spam to atleast 5 times an hour? Thanks :P

Edwards was snubbed by the media...they select and put on a pedestal the chosen ones. I started supporting Biden, he was snubbed. I switched to Richardson...the man came in 4th in Iowa and was ignored in New Hampshire by the media...and now Edwards...ignored because the media wants the sensationalism of a black and a woman running for president. I think I will just stay home this election.

It's a shame how the media uses venom to boost Clinton's campaign. That whole Obama turning his back on Clinton topic was completely blown out of proportion. Also, does anyone know who Bill Gates is endorsing? All that money would definately help a candidate :D

No matter who wins Bush is making sure that they start out in the hole with no choice but to raise taxes to cover his over seas spending policy, afterall he will go back to his comfy home get his taxpayer paid library and leave us with the bill an economy in ruins no healthcare and that after stealing from social security. I think he sould be tried for treason, forget impeachment.

Obama all the way. It troubles me that there is a possibility of Huckabee being McCain's running mate (seeing as McCain needs a reactionary to boost his campaign). The pair represent everything that is wrong with America.

Does anyone happen to know who Al Gore is endorsing for the Democratic party? I have yet to hear a reporter even consider his postion on this. Afterall, Al Gore is extremely popular these days and has had a lot of media attention. And being the former Vice President under Bill Clinton, one would only assume that he would be loyal to Hillary. So why hasn't anybody asked him?????

I find it very interesting that in the comments the only ones that are angry and want to call everyone else names are those who are connected with the supposedly most religious side and in unfettered support of Mr. Huckabee. Disagree but lighten up!

Looks like he snubs everyone equally! Way to go Obama! That wil accomplish a lot in the senate!
