    So I guessing you don't foresee the obvious "ten thousand bathtubs of blood" that Huck's presidency would bring... along with Homophobia carrying ten thousand guns.

    Nothing about this race should be about the color of the skin or the gender of the person. Let's focus on the issues and not the physical traits of the candidates. I thought our country was progress in the element of bigotry...some people are obviously a little further behind!

    When a president raises money,they CANNOT USE IT FOR PERSONAL NEEDS.DID YOU NOT SEE THE INTERVIEW WITH HIS WIFE.OMG lol,certain people are foolish.He will do his very best,nobody is perfect..The clintons are worst,I dont know wtf is wrong with a few of you.But I think you need to pay attention to the division going on,I dont think you've noticed that bill clintion not only destroyed him self,but turned everyone else against his own wife.Everything was written down,the speeches were remembered,he knew exactly what he was going to say.Now the fools who fall for that fancy old school politics nonsense.Needs to fckin wake up,this is 08,I dont believe people could be that nieve in 08.

    what are obamas foreign policies? his hiomeland policies are full of holes and have no ending - we will have to pay for him to try and cover checks his moputh has writtena d his backing cannot possibly manage to do - obama is telling people what they want to hear in nice rhetoric - he has never done anything for por whites - he must be a racist in that regard but HILLARY CLINTON has supported all races and has done for all races - she is a leader VOTE CLINTON - she is our only hope

    I think Mrs clinton is a very intelligent and appealing candidate if we look at her resume but at the same time her economic funds to run are pretty scary. If she becomes elected she will owe especial favors to many lobbysts and in the other hand the more her political history shows a Hillary been in politics for so long even for 8 yrs at the white house and my big questions is What about then? Why now the universal hellth care will be a done deal if it was NOT while her HUSBAND was president for 96 MONTHS. I have no afiliation but my personal feeling our taking shape and a name. We really need CHANGE, a REAL change and Mr Obama is representing that true concept of a REAL NEw era IN POLITICS for this country and for the REST OF the WORLD.

    What a fun novelty!! The Democratic party is so out on the fringe that they have a black muslim male going against a white female dike. All of this time you thought you were being intelligent / free thinking and these are the people you decided would make this a better country? Next Election why not try for a Transexual male Mexican with a boob job and see what voters "on the fringe" you might get with that one. The Mexicans and the Gay community. You Sure are making America look grand aren't you?!? Let's try the truth for once and forget about being "politically correct" You are vote whores who will do anything no matter how depraved to TRY to win the election. Your minds have been so warped that you logical thought processes have ceased to function properly at this point. You have gone so far out on a limb with your free thinking that there is no logic, common sense or even morality . You have in fact taken yourselve out of the race by your own ignorance for decency and the morality that this country was founded on.

      Your statement are rediculous, offensive, and unintelligent. Statements usually reflect the one who makes them.

    While the two democrats are beating themselves up in the news, The democratic congress is screwing the rest of the nation by stalling the stimulus plan. Where is Hilary and obama on this issue and why are they letting the coworkers in he senate screw with the people who need the stimulous package, at least the loan limits increased so some of us can save their homes and equity.

    I happen to be a veteran, a senior and recently started to work again after the mortgage mess, I was victim of it and now their the opportunity to gat back on horse and make some new loans to help the ones that need it.

    And where is Hilarry and Obama and why aren't they putting pressure on congress to make this happen, now.

    Specially in califronia where thr median loan is $550,000, it looks to me that democratic senators are proving the point of why we need a republican president, senate and house, even with the majority they still can't get anything done....

    It all Blah, blah, blah, depressing.....

      But Republicans HAD majorities in all three houses, and look where that got us? Our Beloved President used his veto once in the time the Republicans held all majorities, and how many times has he used it since then? And more than a couple that were on bi-partisan measures. Of course Dems can't get anything done if he's vetoing everything that's newsworthy... makes you wonder WHY he's using that veto so much now... yet we come back and blame the veto on the Democrats?
      Use your head, sweetie... it really IS more than a hatrack...

    I want an explanation to Michelle Obama's comment about having to seriously consider supporting a Clinton nomination in the General election. If Obama speaks change, the real change would be a woman. But that's not the change he is speaking of. He is speaking of skin color which is not what this already polarized country is going to survive. Slam dunk victory for Dems? noooo. They know how to lose and it will continue.

    I thought this was a space for discussion and creative interchange. "uclababe" is an example of what our universities sometimes produce. That university education is shining through in her comments!

    If IL. likes him so much. Elect him senator again.
    There's a little more a stake then for he did for IL.

    It is definitely ashame to read such hatred in people. These postings appear to show a lot of racism. Why is this? Because America doesn't want a woman President or a African American man as our President. You all need to learn about change and maybe you could look past the color of a person or the gender of an individual. I wish them both luck!

    • Posted By: Napachild @ 02/07/2008 12:28:08 AM

      Touche and Amen to that, needzchange!! There should be a lot more positive statements in these posts than what I'm seeing!

    I am Ademocrat of 53 years,
    But Hucks better then Obama.

  • Posted By: terravista @ 02/07/2008 12:27:50 AM

    if 90% of whites voted for a white candidte then blacks would cry and burn other peoples businesses screaming racism - white people stand up for your race - obama has never done anything for any race outside of blacks - he will not serve the por whites in this country. - judge obama by his angry attitude wife - wht did I ever do to her to deserve tahat wrinkled eyebrow

    Interesting...Pre-Super Tuesday, the media was talking about how the winner of CA was going to be the nominee for the democratic party. Let's see, Hillary was the CA winner and yet the media chose to downplay her big win. Doesn't it seem like the media (run by a majority of males) secretly want Obama Hussein to win? There is one thing I vividly recall learning in my college political class about the media, they are "King Makers." The media can make you or break you. Message to you "King Makers:" (We) the people are not stupid, we know you are secretly wanting Obama to win because you CAN'T stand the thought of having an intelligent woman become YOUR commander in chief. It's a threat to you. Furthermore, stop using the African American's "movement" for your own guilty pleasures. A movement which by the way is all fake, the real movement was in the 60's with MLK; A TRUE leader.

    • Posted By: Mastersockmonkey @ 02/07/2008 12:27:36 AM

      What did you want them to do? Downplay that he won more states? Downplay that he won more delegates? Downplay that he closed a double digit Clinton lead in a couple weeks?

    • Posted By: Screen7749 @ 02/06/2008 11:09:59 PM

      Hussein is nt his last name and you hav ethe nervr to bring up MLK when you yourself are full with hate. You need to go and pray and ask God to forgive you.

      Uclababa you are so true. This election is in the hands of our almighty GOD. I pray the best person takes home the bread.

  • Posted By: Realbill @ 02/07/2008 12:13:03 AM

    I have looked at the fact sheets. I have serious questions.
    First, I see that he went to college in Los Angeles (Occidentzl College), the Columbia University in New York, late Harvard Law school.
    You paid for all of that, doesn't sound like the roots he says that he came from. I don't know many middle class American families sending their kids to schools like that. Maybe he comes from a different middle class, or his church paid for it, or someone else. Can any of you answer this for me factually.

    • Posted By: Laverdadigo @ 02/07/2008 12:26:28 AM

      I agree with you. But don't worry everything will come out at the end. The only thing that have me worried is that because he is black people will be afraid to say anything negative because they will say that that is reacism.... I can't believe it. Obama will be untouchable because he is BLACK. What a thing!!

    all i know is that i was raised an american, and my dad was poltician and i watched him through the years attend sports games and everytime my dad took his right hand and put it to his chest and i did the same. where does Obama ever shown his loyalty to the flag of the United States. When my dad was sworn into office he had to make a pledge of allegance, im sorry i have not ever seen Obama do this. Plz to all americans do we want a President in office who can't raise his right hand and put it on his hearts to all you veterens how do feel about this speak up it's our flag its our country you should be ashamed of yourself Obama.

    • Posted By: Mastersockmonkey @ 02/07/2008 12:24:45 AM

      You need to get your facts straight. Obama pledges allegiance to the flag every senate session. There are videos to prove it. The video you are talking about was the National Anthem. No, he did not have his hand on his heart. He was singing along.

  • Posted By: whoeveriwanttobe @ 02/07/2008 12:24:42 AM

    comment dose anybody wonder why Obama never has his mother or his mothers family on camra? could it be that he wants everyone to believe that he was this poor black child that pulled his self out of the getto and worked hard to get where he is now. Dose he not want people to know that his mother is white and that when his father left her she ran back home to her middle class white family in thier middle white class neighboorhood? Please don't tell me to go to some wb so I can see how he wrote about his life. I seen his mother on Oprah right after his speech at the last dem. convention. I think that if your going to be the "honest candidate" please be honest. and his father was a muslim too. if he is I'm not sure. i don't know if he knows what he is or what he wants. I guess he's waiting for someone to tell him.
