    Wow, it's such a tight race! As to Johnny Mc Farland from Minnesota, you have absolutely NO evidence to use against him that he would be a terrorist. The only thing you could have against him is that he's black. Are you a racist? Are you encouraging others to be? It's OK if you don't vote for him, or if you don't like him, but making false facts up is not ever OK.

    Native American Boy, it is sad that you have been brainwashed to be that paranoid. Terrorism is based in building Terror, and you my friend are feeding on it. This is what they mean by destroying us from within, by dividing us with stupid theories and paranoia.

    You know I am quite fed up with all the digs that people love to throw at Senator clinton. I am an independent voter, and I really feel her compassion much more than I fell it from Senator Obama. He has all these celebrity at his side and keeps taking shots at Hillary. Wheather you get money from people on the street or from lobyist, it is still a contribution. I did not vote for then president Clinton, but, the man was one of the best President ever. Bringing this country back from a debt of about $200, billion dollars. I feel that Clinton is ready to take this charge as soon as possible, but I really do not believe that Obama could handle it. I see an eloquent talker. But, talk is cheap. As and independent voter I am bending to hillary.

    It is Clinton who represents the common worker not Obama. He is winning over people only with charisma which won't help us much if he gets to Washington. Clinton has the experience to lead this country and make the "change" that we need. She has admitted that voting for the war is a mistake; has Obama admitted anything about his past? No, he avoids the issue. Look into his relationship with the Chicago slumlord, look into his father's past. His is a first term senator who is in no way prepared to run this country. Clinton is seasoned, experienced and ready to make the changes necessary to put our country back in order! Do your homework, think and YOU will see.

    I do agree Obama is about possibilities, but so is the lottery. Just like the lottery, there is some chance we might get lucky and he may be a good president, but if you look at her proven record, diplomatic ability, and experience, she is the only choice. I'd rather not play the lottery with the presidency....

    Obama represents the common worker and the poor and he means what he says unlike Clinton who is acting. She sat quietly when the Wal-Mart board was oppressing the workers . The 35 yrs experience shwe is talking about did not give her the wisdom to vote NO for the war. She went with what appeared to be the popular thing. It appeared the Interest groups were for the war and she went along. Forget about Universal Health care under her how can she take on people who are financing her campain. ? Think and you will see

      I see people flocking to walmart all the time. But goes to internet and start writing BS. In what way is Obama a poor worker? Both the candidates had mediocre beginnings.

    Should Obama get elected, you will all regret it. You have no idea. He does not represent this country, but rather his own movement! I would rather see Huckabee win than have Obama lead this country.

      Wow, that's not what I posted at all. Apparently it got edited along the way so please disregard what's there and I will never post to this site again!

    Should Obama win, you all will regret it. His movement is not a movement that will lead this country to greatness but rather backwards. I'm tired of hearing him quote JFK and MLK. Why can't he run on his own merit; oh, wait, he has none. He is trying to win votes by envoking our memories of what we perceived to be great men in JFK and MLK. Remember folks, JFK would not have won a second term. Obama is clearly NOT the man to lead this country. I would rather see Huckabee win than become Obama-land!

    Hillary chosing Obama as a running mate would go against her rgument that he is not ready, should something happen to Hillary. With his speaking ability, he would be best s Secretary of State. Thus giving him the foreign affairs experience he needs. Plus, imagine he abd Bill Clinton as ambassadors for the US, fixing all the wrongs that Bush has done. If Obama waits and gets 4-8 years experience learning from what no one can argue is an extremely knowledgeable woman in world affairs, he couls easily go done as one of our countries greatest presidents, something blacks and whites can all be proud of. If he is elected now, it will be the same mistakes as Bush and then listen to the racist lash out. History shows us that when you move a movement forward before its time, you only set it back.. I am by no means a racist man. I am a gay man who hs seen many gay issues fall because they were pushed before their time., I believe Barack is destined to be the first black president this country will have, but not in 2009. Listen with our heart and start the fight so many want, to take back the peoples government. But, vote with your head and let Hillary use her experience to fix the mess that Bush has us in. That must be the first goal and thats Hillarys area, Then we can all sit back and watch a talented well spoken, and experienced man give the people back their goverment.

      Sir Jpb516,
      I have listened to many who say that this person or that person has experience to lead the country. Well lets take a look at what we have in office right now. Here we have a man who flunked out of college, lied about his military career, who lost businessed his father set up, became govornor of the state of Texas, Econmically destroyed the state budget and school system, became President elected twice with no experience and took us to war on a lie, shot the economy by letting jobs go overseas in the global economy, let the housing market crash. As a country we are not respected in world affairs, our dollar is not worth crap, we have high unemployment, our schools are the worst in the free world, and i can go on. So Sir where was the experience?. Anyone with a plan can run this country. And as i see it we cant do much worst than what we have right now. These politicians cant even fix social security. And i can fix that and have no experience in Washington but im educated. If you belive in Obama and im not saying that im a supporter because im not nor am i a great Hillary fan. Look at the issues that effect you everyday and make a choice on who will get us, and i say us out of this mess we are in because my friend we are in a mess.

    What experience are we talking about ?Hilary Clinton was the wife of the US President...not the President as some seem to forget, and is a US Senator. just like Senator Obama.
    Time for the man that is not run by others in Washington, that does not use NOTES in front of him written by others in his speaches or by herself so as not to forget key points, believes in what he says for us and for everyone, and who promises to bring real change to the US

    Such selected memories and narrow views of those who only want to hear or see what they want. You want fair and balanced read and listen to the whole story. Go back in time, ask ''''Where are the Clinton papers?'''' Ask about all the illegal activites that should have landed them in jail. Fighting to defend your country is noble, running from terrorists is cowardly. We have no choice, or do you think we do? Wake up and grow up. Experiance and leadership counts. The first priority is the war not the economy. I would much rather have someone who fought in a war than someone who slept next to an adulterer and a liar and claim experiance that way!

    IF NOT FOR THE LATINO"S OBAMA WOULD HAVE WON CALIFORNIA. HILLARY OWES A LOT TO THE LATIONO"S IN NY< NJ NEVEDA AND OF COURSE CALI.

    OBAMA HAS A VERY GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING THE NOMINATION>BUT HE HAD TO GET THE LATINO VOTE. OBAMA HAS JUST WON NEW MEXICO.

  • Posted By: lramsey@sewanee.edu @ 02/06/2008 4:48:34 AM

    Just one suggestion: put Clinton and Obama together on the Democratic ticket in November, and we all win.

  • Posted By: ToniKamau @ 02/06/2008 3:58:14 AM

    For a potential grandma, Hillary still looks firm and crispy. Congratulation.
    When Chavez or Sarkozy visit the White House, there schould be a tension in the air....
    Concerning wisdom and foresight, I would rather expect more from Obama and McCain.
