Perfect Game

Clinton has "caught" the lack of integrity from Bill. Wanna bet that when she loses the nomination, she and Bill will be HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If she can't keep her own man in check, how will she run a nation? My vote goes to Obama as I have become an 'Obamacan.'

I don't think that most people would argue against the notion that Hillary Clinton is intelligent and driven. The issue against her has to do with the way the Clintons have always done things - they seem to be more than happy to take the low road to win. They degrade the level of discourse and have insulted the American public with their blatant lies & double talk(I did not inhale, meaning of the word 'is" is). How many times in this campaign have Bill Clinton or other surrogates smeared Obama and had to later apologize because what they said were patent lies or attempts at fear-mongering? Obama could have countered easily with a reminder of just one of the Clinton scandals(so many to chose from!) but he never went there. I find that remarkable in a politician.

The fact is our country is in a terrible state - if we just keep electing the same type of people and expect a different result, we are fools and deserve what we get. I support Obama not because I am an idealist but because I am a realist - the evidence to date proves that 1)the Clintons always play dirty and divide people and 2)with division, nothing worthwhile gets accomplished in Washington.

To keep harping on Obama's lack of Washinton experience demonstrates a startling ignornance - do people really think that the president sits in a closed room and writes policy and makes decisions by himself? What you need in a president is someone who shows astuteness and judgement in surrounding himself/herself with the right kind of people to help him/her make the best decision. That is something that is a part of someone's character - not something that longevity automatically hands you.

It is time to look at the evidence and realize that without a new attitude in our leadership, we will only sink further.

Huckabee is very believable and genuine. I think he will do very well in texas, Wisconsin and Ohio. Everyone I know in Texas is voting for him. Despite what the TV and Radio says. He could still win and a brokered Republican Convention is possible. See the math below. GO HUCK!!!

The short answer is that if we can win Texas, Ohio, and Wisconsin then it will be almost impossible for McCain to avoid a brokered convention.

Here are the details of why. Right now McCain (assuming he gets all the delegates in Maryland) has 822 delegates. That means he needs 369 more delegates to clinch. Wisconsin, Texas, and Ohio are all winner take all by congressional district. Let's assume McCain only wins 6 congressional districts in these states. That brings the delegates he needs to 351. The only two somewhat winner take all states left are Mississippi, which we should win, and Vermont, which McCain should win, bringing his total down to 334. Pennsylvania is a strange state with each congressional district getting three delegates and the "party leaders" deciding the at-large delegates, let's assume McCain does well here and gets 64 out of 74, bringing his total needed down to 270. Indiana is winner take all by Congressional District but the at large remain uncommitted until the convention meaning no one can "win" them. Let's assume Huckabee does well here and McCain only picks up two districts or six delegates; that means McCain will need 264 more delegates from the remaining states.

The rest of the states allocate their delegates by either a proportional primary or a convention (with different rules governing these.) For McCain to prevent a brokered convention in these states, he will have to win 264 out of the possible 422 remaining delegates or 62.559%. So far McCain has only pulled off that large of a percentage in one place (DC) so this is highly unlikely.

So, our battleground is Wisconsin, Texas, and Ohio. If we will these states, we will likely have a brokered convention.
Conservatism can win! Huckabee can win!

Hillary Clinton is the only experienced diplomat and politician running for president. It is very sad see the media pushing Sen. Obama . His campaign money is the only thing keeping him as a viable candidate. This country will be in serious trouble due to Sen. Obama 's lack of experience. People please wake up!

IT IS ONLY BARMY FOR ANYONE TO TRY TO STOP A MOVING TRAIN WITH BARE HANDS. SANATOR OBAMA IS THE MOVING TRAIN AND THERE IS NO STOPPING HIM. WISCOSIN AND HAWAII ARE THE NEXT TRAIN STATIONS THAT HAS BECOME PART OF THE OBAMA MOMENTUM.

CHIJIOKE CHIGOZIE

As i read all the thoughts of the people who are writing their opinions, I have to wonder what kind of change are you looking for? Bigger dependency on Gov...Socialism...Black man...Woman? What we need is less gov, less taxes (like the fair tax system), less depenancy on forein oil ( like drill in AK and off shore), get rid of NAFTA, protect our borders, cut of all forein aid until we can afford it. If we could do these simple things then we would have the money for a new health care system and social security ( rembember we do not have it funded now). Now is the time to use some good old american know how and make the greatest country on earth the best place to live on earth.

I believe that playing the race card is simply more effective than playing the gender card and surely more electrifying when trying to motivate a base of supporters. Lets avoid the pink elephant in the room and call a spade a spade. Women are less likely to vote for a women to be president than a black person (who, often, would consider being black a large part of their own identity) would be to vote for a black candidate. What do the exit polls say black females are voting?

The reason this election is generating a lot of interest not only in America but internationally is mainly because of Hillary-- she is an international icon of grace, grit and intelligence. Imagine if Obama is running against another man, white or black. It may be interesting, too, but not as interesting as with Hillary in the race. Take the name Hillary Clinton out of the race and the election would simply be blas??.

The Clinton campaign has the media, the Republicans and the Obama hype to overcome. The American media has been too pro-Obama. The Obama camp has banked on the negatives that the Republicans have been hurling at the Clintons. Together, the media and Obama camp have been spreading the "hate Hillary", which is one of the Republicans' dirty tactics.

Compare Obama's rhetoric vs. practice, read:

Obama took his oath of office to be an Illinois senator on the Koran. Who do you think uses the Koran as their guide? The MUSLUMS Thats who. Do the people of America want a Muslum for a president? The people that attacked the World Trade Center were muslums. With obama as president they can attack America from within. "nough said.

No matter how Hillary's campaign strategy is drawn up, its greatest strength still lies in Hillary, her causes and her presence in all of the upcoming primaries and caucuses. She shouldn't take Wisconsin and the Obama threat to win it lightly. She should go to Wisconsin, make her presence felt there, articulate her causes and make the issues resonate among voters. She is still a better speaker and debater. Obama has been dragging the names of MLK and JFK and their causes in his speeches because substantially, he pales in comparison to Hillary. HIs big endorsements were strongly repudiated when Hillary won the big states of New York, California and Mass.

After reading most of these comments I have only two things to say:
a) vote for the candidate who will bring your soldiers home as soon as possible, as you are now occupying another country . If you know anything about history all you have to do is look back to when the Israeli's went into Lebanon , they were welcomed with open arms and cheers. Within a few months those same boys were being sent home in body bags. For several reasons , far too many to be stated here, countries do not like to be occupied by a foreign military, no matter how they felt in the beginning. They will rise up and revolt which is what you have here, not to mention the civil war that thousands of American troups could not hold back nor will they. Perhaps it's time to bring them home and get them prepared to protect their own borders.
b) vote for the candidate that has the best education package, as it is clear that many of you here have suffered dreadfully from the one you have at the moment. Unless this discussion is mostly made up of a small faction of illiterates that reside in the United States of America.

STUDY OBAMA FOR YOURSELF! DONT BELIEVE HILLARY! OBAMA DOES HAVE A SOLID PLAN. READ IT HERE:

Wow! Ignorance must be blissful. Hillary Clinton lacks integrity. She can't even run her campaign like the diplomat she claims to be. Does anyone remember Susan McDougal? If not google her and make the connection for yourself! Vote for Obama because simply put Clinton lacks integrity!!!!
