Clinton attacks on Obama have little effect in Wisconsin.
Comment: What great choices
#1. Vote for the bumbling bubblreheads billiary cliton and eatspeaches billy, i told a fib clinton, as the first lady, we get socialism.
#2. Vote for alaobama and we get to replace the bible with the koran.
Tough freaking choices.
Comment: the most inspiring "words" i have ever heard by barack obama, "don't feed your kids potato chips for dinner", not if that doesn't give you words of inspiration, well, i really don't know what will, no wonder everyone is voting for him, they don't know what to feed their kids
Comment: all the losers are coming out to endorse obama, kerry, kennedy, dodd, richardson, they can't win a race on their own merits, so they hope to ride into the winners circle on the coat tails of another loser, hopefully, obama
"the word"
Comment: "Wall Street has been riding high on collective fantasies: That key insurers are in fine shape, economic news doesn't count, the dollar isn't in trouble and more risky loans will fix the mess."
the obama words
Comment: to the dumb and dumbiest, those who take pleasure in the following of the "obama cult", who ask no questions of this person, who follow at his behest with nothing in their empty minds but that he "talks to people", and runs a campaign funded by who?
do any of you empty heads ever ask who is funding this new found hero who seems to have all the answers to all the problems that exist not just in this country, but around the globe, just look at the headlines of today, their are fires to be put out all over the globe, and yet we have someone running for the presidency whose answers are not those of a leader, but one whose very rhetoric we cannot afford to have in the highest office in the land, "words are motivational, but words will not put out the fires"
think seriously before you vote, we had eight years of bush and look at all the problems he has created with his "rhetoric of words"
Comment: as well as farrakhan, and sharpton, and jackson, and brazile, and don't forget the mrs., not enough wings to go around, and lets not forget mr.lewis, so admirable of him to turn his back on someone who has done so much for his cause
the white house, hmmmm, i don't think so
Comment: You are living in the past.This is 2008 and most americans are ready to elect the most qualified person no matter what color he or she is. Someone who can sit down and talk to people instead of at them.Someone who knows how to run a campaign instead of having to use their own money(hillary/romney).
Comment: not the past, the present, and the future of this country, and not based on the rhetoric of obama who has mesmerized those of you who have not bothered to listen to what he is saying, "which is absolutely nothing"
words can be very motivating, very inspirational, very moving, unfortunately so are cults, mr.obama, is saying just what he needs to draw people like you into believing his words rather than you scrutinize how, when, with what, is this change going to happen, YOU ASK NO QUESTION OF THIS PERSON, you just accept
just look at nafta, he has already put his wink and show to work getting the ire of canada saying one thing to his "people who believe he will CHANGE" and create millions of jobs because that is what he tells you, but he winks at canada telling them "its just an election ploy", it appears the only people who see through this "coming of the next messiah" are those who recognize him for what it is, "JUST TALK"
Comment: "NOBAMA" "NOBAMA" "NOBAMA" in our White House.

Comment: ...What I understand from your comment is the following:....by manipulation Obama brings so many naives into the street...But his speech has no substance and consistency. It is a real mess in his brains !...I think you are right!By the way, i recently signed up on S e n i o r Woo.com in hope to meet friends or more on Internet. Is it easy? I am 40+ mature woman. There are some hot pictures under the name KeightyKat there.
Comment: " Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world" that the U.S. will change for the better."
the black militant, hope you all know who you are voting for, media can't hide this, what cabinet position will obama offer him
Comment: Now that is scary.
Comment: just finished a book by john grisham, "the brethren", believe it came out in 2000, how very familiar it sounds when doing comparisons with the running of barack obama
the similarities are quite remarkable, to close infact to not take notice
Comment: After watching CNN the other evening after the Clinton Obama debate, I was disgusted with the biased reporting on that channel. There were four people discussing the debate - all of whom were for Obama and making negative comments toward Hillary. That is not fair reporting. I and my family know that Hillary made the most positive and informative comments but there was no one to take her side. I am planning on boycotting CNN and any other channel who does unfair reporting. Hey Guys!!! THE BBC IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD THESE DAYS. You have some competition there and I'm a viewer.
Comment: Actually the BBC has always been the most accurate.

Comment: "People are projecting things and taking things out of context," Gration said. "There's absolutely no question in my mind that Michelle and Barack are extremely patriotic, appreciate our freedoms and our values and everything else that the flag represents." as stated in today's new headlines
obama "refuses to wear the pin denoting the flag of the u.s., as well as say the pledge of alligence, they appreciate our freedoms and values, and everything else", was this before she made her statement about "the first time she loved this country" or after, more arrogance on the part of the obamas, little by little it will all come out about mr.obama, and perhaps mrs. obama, and his teachings from the marxist theology church he has attended, i guess hillary will not have to be concerned any longer, step to the rear hillary, the attack dogs have found their man
Comment: don't worry about it ladies and gentlemen, ralph nadar is coming aboard, perhaps as early as this weekend, there go your independents obama, and if the pubs bring their base around, mc cain will win, because the democratic base will be fractured between the clintons and those who cannot stand obama, if for nothing else but his arrogance, power to the people, oops, sorry again, to the carl roves who are probably backing nadar also, anything to destroy clinton, and those who will help the people of this country
Comment: IF, Indeed OUR MILITARY is undersupplied, shake the hand of one of the liberal idiots
who wanted to quit funding the war. Hell, if your a soldier ANYWHERE in the world..you're
gonna use whatever means you have to fight the enemy. Now, he votes against funding
the war, then turns around and says "poor, poor military man is forced to use taliban
equipment" You can't have two opinions on ONE SUBJECT...YOU ARE A LIAR AND THE
TRUTH IS NOT IN YOU. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...ONE NATION,
UNDER ONE GOD...
Comment: He's right in that we cannot quit funding the war while we have troops there. That is why Hillary Clinton has promised to fund this war until we can bring these guys home safely. I, for one, will be glad to see them away from that place and home where they can begin to rebuild their lives. They deserve that. Also, Hillary will make sure that once they get here, they will be taken care of in a proper way. Not just discard them aside like Bush has done in the past.
Comment: This goes out to ALL of you who are soo afraid that Senator Obama is terrorist "Sleeper Cell"..
For all we know, you could be a terrorist? You're bigoted & ignorant statement s are shameful. What if Senator Obama were muslim, jewish, black, indian or an Asian American? Does that mean he couldn't be an excellent president? READ THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Key word: UNITED! After you've read it, for God sake PLEASE get someone with intelligence to interpret it for you because obviously you are a failure to communicate. IGNORE RANTS are STUPID & best describes what we should do with your silly rants..
We all may have come over on different boats but we're in the same boat now. Get over it & lets make this work to stay UNITED!!
Comment: Have you ever heard you can catch more bees with honey than vinegar? I'm sorry ya'll's boy stumbled tonight and showed his inexperience. McCain as bad as he is, will be able to tear Obama apart. He needs better coaches. Debates are not speeches. He need to be able to respond at a moments notice. If he crumbles under pressure in a debate, how will he be useful for national security?
Comment: Yes, lets all vote for someone who tells us what we want to hear and tells us nothing real at the same time. I am a practical person and just because someone talks a good talk doesn't convince me to support him. I need something to back it up and Obama has nothing in his suitcase except well sounding words. HE COULDN'T EVEN MAKE UP HIS MIND HOW TO VOTE on how many occasions in the senate?
Comment: Now you are on the right track, buddy !
Comment: I have to agree with your comment also.
Comment: All this "EXPERIENCE" has America in the state of it is now......Bush's father had experience being President and see what he passed down. The Clinton years were so overshadowed by his scandals and partisan fighting that he didn't get as much done and he could have. All this "experience has been passed down to my generation and we are pretty much hated by many countries.....I say thanks but no thanks to experience. It's time for something different the "old" way has proven to be ineffective and dated.
Comment: My friend, you wouldn't want something, when you don't know what it will be ! Because the loudest hummer is not the best bee !
Comment: You cannot judge a book by the color of it's cover. Quit looking at this mans skin and instead look at mind and heart.

Comment: I have learned in my lifetime that white people only see things one way and that one way is their way. It is pointless to try to have a civilized conversation with them. No matter how many facts you give them to try to at least , reason your side with them is pointless.... They think they know everything and bottom line is they don't know as much as they think. Read further down at all the negative comments that are written about Sen. Obama with no facts to back up any of the things they write.... Is he inexperienced yes, but and so is Hillary. Bill was an ok President with no morals and we all witnessed that when he lied to our face. Sen Obama, like all Presidents, do not make all of the decisions by themselves. Considering his background, I'm sure he, like all of the other Presidents, will have knowledgeable people at his disposal to ensure that the decisions that are made will be the right ones for America. I've said this before and I'll say this again. White people...........JUST SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR AN AFRICAN AMERICAN....... WE CAN HANDLE THAT........WE ARE USE TO THAT........... YOU DON'T WANT CHANGE OF ANY SORT...... IT'S OK!
Comment: Sorry, but just you making a case about the race and take advantage...! That's why a lot of his supporters are completely out of control what they said. Many times they make a comparison of Mr. Obama with a new Messiah or Jesus Christ !! Don't you think it's a blasphemy and his puppets hurt all Christianity of the world ??!!!...And Mr. Obama loves these compliments and doesn't take any position . That's why his personality is not too far by...Hitler, Stalin and Poll Pot !!!
Comment: please do not make this into a racist campaign because there are those who think differently than you
mr. obama brings nothing to the table, his rhetoric "change", change what, change washington politics, how? where? when? with what. what does he intend to do, how will he do it, where will he start
he does nothing to explain his position, as you pointed out the president does not make decisons on his own, but you can be assured mr.obama will acquiesce to anyone and everyone on the hill to get this appointment to the presidency, because he is a politican first, last and utmost
do you honestly think he will walk in and start signing bills, lowering taxes, better educate the illiterate, improve the poverished people of this country, instill morality in those who have nothing but hate and bigotry in their hearts, improve jobs, improve healthcare
many mfg. jobs in this country are gone, they are not coming back, no matter what any politican tells you, the $28.a job held by those in the automotive industry are going by by, to the countries who will do it for $5. mfg. in this country is nil, and its called globilization, stop putting blame on bill, or anyone else, because it would have happened no matter who was in office, stop blaming nafta, you can go back to nixon when he visited china to open the door to globization in the 70's, and if you didn't want any of this to happen, why did you not vote for bucannan when he preached running for office against globilization, and everyone scoffed at him yelling "protectionism", i don't recall him ever being elected to the office of the presidency, where were you at this time, and others who are now yelling we are losing our jobs, immigration, healthcare, etc etc etc.
mr.obama can have the support of the unions in this country, because for all practical purposes, unions are "dead", they have been dwindling since the early 90's, and will continue to do so
so please don't blame racism on this campaign, just look to reason, and mr.obama lacks reason, if anyone cared about this country they would be voting for someone who is able to work for the people, mr.obama has not displayed that, every politician will throw five percent back to their constituents to make them look good, how as mr. obama worked for the good of this country though, i have not seen anything exceptional about mr. obama that makes him stand above any other politician
Comment: mr.obama has done absolutely nothing to garner the enthusiam that this country seems to be crowning him with, it is almost perplexing to try and figure out what this man is doing to attract the masses as he has, and the only conclusion is that carl rove has his finger in the pot, and is sending the masses in droves to put this figure on a pedestal as he did with george w., and into the drivers seat to be manupilated like a puppet as they did with georgie for eight years, and this country has seen what that has given us, "the house is not divided, it is falling down" not with blue vs red, but with hate, we will indeed bury ourselves because of it, as khrushev, former pm of russia stated would happen, it is finally happening, turn your flag upside down
Comment: ...What I understand from your comment is the following:....by manipulation Obama brings so many naives into the street...But his speech has no substance and consistency. It is a real mess in his brains !...I think you are right !!!
Comment: do not see this person as a viable candidate, though i look at mc cain as a maverick, a hawk, with his finger on the button pointing a missle at iran his first day in office, i can respect his honesty, which is at the forefront of his time spent in office, whether he will make a good, or great president only time will tell if he achieves the office at all
mr obama on the other hand i see nothing that would afford him the opportunity to be the holder of this office, unless there are the outside forces who wish it, and this smells of carl rove and the republicans, and those who wish to further their cause by dominance, obama will not fight the status quo, he will abide with them just wearing the democratic blue vs the pub red to achieve their objectives
a dictatorship need not have but one ruler, we seem to think there is power to the people, it appears more to be manipulation of the people by those in power, all one needs to do is look around you to see what is happening in this country, right down to the media and their front page lies
we are such an ignorant society to the detriment of us all, dumb and dumber
Comment: ...TOO MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING ! BUT THE LOUDEST HUMMER IS NOT THE BEST BEE !!!
Comment: Those who say Obama has no experience please answer the following
1. What experience did Bill Gates have when he dropped out of college to form Microsoft Corp.
2. What experience did Ghandi have when he decided to fight for India's independence
3. What experience did General Patton have in fighting wars before he took on Hitler
4. What experience did Jesus have before he started preaching
5 What experience did Martin Luther King have before he started his crusade
6 What experience did John Kennedy have before he ran for president
7 What experience did the founding fathers have when the declared independence form Great Britain
8 What experience did George Washington have before he led the war against the British
9 What experience di Winston Churchill have before he led Britain against the Germans
Comment: Tony2001,
Your post gives us an idea of really what is the brains of Obama???s supposedly educated supporters: absolutely nothing. It unfortunately makes me realize that today, four years of college don???t necessarily make the majority of our young adults bright. This is sad: the future of this country does not look good. Therefore, as a responsible democrat who loves this country, if Barkus Obwamussama is the democrats' nominee, my financial contributions will go to John McCain and he will also have my vote. I have never done that before.
Comment: There is a first time for everything!! That is your right.... your an American.
Comment: jonly your an idiot, please cast your vote for whomever you please. obama must be doing something right, because all you haters out there are crying about experience and all that bullcrap. so by saying hillary has experience because she was bills wife, your putting your foot in your mouth. while she was busy figuring out how to rule the world bill was getting busy with paula, gennifer, monica, and who else? anyone? just checking. if thats what you call experience then go ahead and vote for mccain. you'll still be a loser come november. :)
Comment: Hobbes007:
You are a typical description of Obwamussama's supporters: angry, rude, constantly intoxicated and unintelligent, even with a 4 year college "education". You sound in your post like if you were under the influence of some kind of illegal substance. I believe that you are aware that consumption of those stuff is against the law everywhere in the US. Maybe one of the hopes that president Obwamussama has put in your little brain is "free distribution and consumption of booze, marijuana, cocaine, ...etc." Those illegal stuff will become legal under Obwamussama's presidency. You are dreaming dude!
Comment: Jonly
please, rude? intoxicated? wake up, what has Hillary done that was so wonderful? I see nothing of substance in anything she says. If Obama is inexperienced than so be it. I won't fall for that same old same old. Look where we are at now and wake up and smell the coffee. We are rapidly falling behind other countries due to Lil Bush and his many missteps. We cannot afford to be making the same mistakes that Hillary or McCain will make if they are elected. They will not know how to make peace with other people, they will only antagonize them with the good old American shock and awe we have seen for the past 8 years. What a wonderful thought. If only you would see past your little minded diatribes about what Obama actually brings to the table, then maybe you would change your mind and vote for the best candidate out there. Obama 08.
Comment: all of these men had experience, do you honestly feel martin luther king just walked into the limelite, of course not, he suffered at the hands of cruelty for many years, he was experienced, as was john kennedy who grew up in a family of politicians and was being groomed for the presidency by his father joseph for years since the death of his older brother joseph jr. in world war II, he had many years of experience
one need not sit and be crowned the king, and be deemed not to have experience
no one steps into this position, including mr. obama unless there is motive to have him there, this is the highest office in the land, and only those who wish him to sit atop the throne such as the carl roves, will make sure he attains it
has nothing to do with experience, has all to do with political affiliation, read into that as you wish
anyone who thinks the president controls this country, better think twice about mr.obama, just another puppet on a string to do the will of the people, oops, sorry, the will of the plenty, and the plenty is "follow the money and that translates into power, and unfortunately, the people are not the power
Comment: good response!!
Comment: Yes, elect Hussein B. Obama because HE is a new Messiah of the world ! He is bringing the light and our hope on the Terra !! He will be the greatest Muslim on our Caliphate ! He will be the power and the greatness ! But remember... The Greek Trojan Horse !!!
Comment: The masses are so hypnotized by the preaching abilities of Mr Obama they have lost the ability to understand the consequences of not sending a nominee that can stand tall over a Rebublican. He is actually sweeping them of there feet like the best arena church leader. He uses church methods to frenzy voters who will be left mightily cold if he gets elected. His cabinet will be so mired in commitees that nothing will get done.
Comment: You are right ! I agree with your remarks ! ! Obama is "pushed" to the party nomination, just to be utilized as a "cheap coin" or a fishing lure against Republicans. And finally he will beaten as an inexperienced "chicken" by the "heavy weight political lions ". In the same time me and other Democrats will vote for McCain, against the hypocrisy and incompetence !
Comment: AMEN TO THAT!!
Comment: I am a man, but I have to say this.
I'm afraid Americans are showing themselves to be rather naive about women.
If they were an older, more mature people, they would know how formidable women rulers can be. They would not discount Hillary's potential so easily.
There have been few women rulers in history, true, but an astoundingly high proportion of such rulers have shown greatness: Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, even, on a lower level, Mrs Thatcher.
Of Indira, a veteran Pakistan-watcher noted that she was the only Indian prime minister the Pakistanis held in fear and respect. No wonder: in 1971 she cut Pakistan in two.
Grow up, Americans !
Can't you see it?
Iran will fear America the day Hillary becomes President. Ahmedinejab will look round his cronies and say: "Time to get serious, gentlemen. A woman is in charge in Washington: no more fun and games with America."
Comment: please, hillary will be a divider not a unifier. she will not get anything done if she gets elected. no one likes her because who needs another clinton in the office. obama 08
Comment: Have you verified that? Who told you that Hillary will be a divider??? Obwamussama obviously!!! Use your brain!!! Oh, I am sorry! I forgot that your frequent consumption of booze and illegal substance fried up your brain cells! Obwamussama is known to be ideologically at the left of Hillary, in other worlds, he is more liberal than her. How is he going to successfully have both republicans and democrats of a divided Congress vote for his liberal agenda?? He is telling plenty of bull$hit and you believe his crap!!
Comment: How come no one is talking about Hillary's inability to run a decent campaign with all her 'experience' and 'being ready from day 1'. Doens't the problem she faces with her campaign team show her inability...for the top job.
Comment: i think every one is loosing sight of the fact that this country was formed by people with little experiance but who held to an ethicle and bold leap into democracy and lived by thier ideals and hoped and planned the birth of our country with little time on the job and yet they managed to not only servive but create the country we call home no one begins as president with any thing but thier word and will to serve.
Comment: HERE'S yOUR pROOF HALLOW. I AM VERy GLAD yOU ASKED THIS QUESTION.
THIS pROVES THAT OBAMA IS THE REAL DEAL SON.
Obama proved persuasive enough that the bill passed both houses of the legislature, the Senate by an incredible 35 to 0. Then he talked Blagojevich into signing the bill, making Illinois the first state to require such videotaping.
Obama didn't stop there. He played a major role in passing many other bills, including the state's first earned-income tax credit to help the working poor and the first ethics and campaign finance law in 25 years (a law a Post story said made Illinois "one of the best in the nation on campaign finance disclosure"). Obama's commitment to ethics continued in the U.S. Senate, where he co-authored the new lobbying reform law that, among its hard-to-sell provisions, requires lawmakers to disclose the names of lobbyists who "bundle" contributions for them.
Taken together, these accomplishments demonstrate that Obama has what Dillard, the Republican state senator, calls a "unique" ability "to deal with extremely complex issues, to reach across the aisle and to deal with diverse people." In other words, Obama's campaign claim that he can persuade us to rise above what divides us is not just rhetoric.
Avian flu: Obama was one of the first Senators to speak out on avian flu, back in the spring of 2005, when it was a quintessentially wonky issue, not the subject of breathless news reports. There's a list of Democratic efforts on avian flu here; Obama shows up early and often. He has sponsored legislation, including what I think is the first bill dedicated to pandemic flu preparedness. It's a good bill, providing not just for vaccine research and antiviral stockpiles, but for the kinds of state and local planning and preparedness that will be crucial if a pandemic occurs. (I was also very interested to note that it requires the Secretary of HHS to contract with the Institute of Medicine for a study of "the legal, ethical, and social implications of, with respect to pandemic influenza". This is actually very important, and not everyone would have thought of it.)
"We recommend that this administration work with Congress, public health officials, the pharmaceutical industry, foreign governments and international organizations to create a permanent framework for curtailing the spread of future infectious diseases.
There were death penalty abolitionists, some of whom worried that Obama's bill, by preventing the execution of innocents, would deprive them of their best argument. Vigorous opposition came from the police, too many of whom had become accustomed to using muscle to "solve" crimes. And the incoming governor, Rod Blagojevich, announced that he was against it.
THIS IS A pERFECT EXAMpLE OF WHAT OBAMA CAN DO AND HAS ALREADy DONE, BRING DIFFERENT FACTIONS TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE A COMMON GOAL.
Comment: Who is paying you five cents a post to do all that taking up of space, and say nothing????
Get a grip!!
Comment: Progressive Action Score: 69
A score of 69 means that Sen. Obama has acted to support 69% of a slate of progressive policies in the 110th Congress. Progressive, forward-looking actions Senator Obama has taken to merit a PAS of 69:
Senator Obama cast a vote against the ironically named Protect America Act. The Protect America Act is a law now passed by both houses of Congress which replaces judicial warrants with executive prerogative and substitutes blank checks for reasons. The Protect America Act gives the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence the power to spy on your emails, your web surfing, your telephone calls and other electronic communications. All this is carried out without a warrant, which is required by the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
There is no supervision of the spy programs put in place by the Attorney General and the DNI, except by these two indivivuals themselves. No one has the power to stop them any more. They can search your records, sift through your private messages, watch you go from web page to web page, on the pretext of protecting America from terrorists, all without a search warrant. No one has the power to tell them no.
the Attorney General and the DNI, both political appointees of the President, have the power under the Protect America Act to order any American to help them conduct their electronic spying against other Americans. Under the new law, if they order you to take part in their spying operations, and you say no, they can throw you in prison. If you do not keep their spying on other Americans a secret, even from your family, they can throw you in prison.
The Protect America Act institutes Big Brother government in the United States. It betrays American liberty. It is a shame that the Act passed, but thanks are due to Senator Obama for casting a vote against it.
Right Wing Index Score: 0
A score of 0 means that Senator Obama has acted to support 0% of a slate of conservative, wrongheaded policies in the 110th Congress.
Comment: I truly don't believe in Obama's leadership abilites currently, however, at this rate he may be the next commander in chief. His first years in office will be the hardest because Obama will need to somehow focus on bringin this divided nation together.Then he will need to focus on the economy, Iraq war, foreign relations, universal healthcare, creating new jobs, repay all the promises he made to the special interest groups, and somehow continue to keep our nation safe from the real haters of the United States.
Comment: Yeah is short Epic Fail!
Comment: Uh, yeah, he is beating her, and pretty bad! The delegates are not just some round estimate that the news stations just throw up on the screen to give us a "some where in the neighborhood" tally. Also, some of McCain's supporters are going to swing over to Barack's campaign as well just because of the mere fact that some people feel that a woman should not be president. Secondly, Barack is not the same ol' politician-he won't even bite on the negatives that McCain and Clinton are throwing at him, or his wife. While Clinton may have a great deal of experience in foreign policy, Barack will be surrounded by people who know the system, and people who are on his staff, so yes, of course they will get paid.
Comment: But these people he will surround himself with, and who know the system are the same old ones who have conducted the old "politics as usual" that he bashes in his stump speeches. These people, according to Mr. Obwamussama's standard, are from the past (J. Kerry, T. Kennedy, ...etc.). So frankly, what does Mr. Obwamussama really want do as president???????
Comment: 1,178 to 1,024 with 1,025 remaining to be awarded. Thats a relative percent difference of 9.12%. How is that a HUGE lead? Those are AP numbers and we know how much the AP loves to skew statistics in favour of Hillary. Obama isn't uniting even the Democratic party or he would have the nomination already!
Comment: Zombiehero,
You are absolutely right!
Moreover, I think that the republican party has a real chance to keep the White House!!! Michigan and Florida will easily go republican in November if their delegates are not seated at the next democratic convention. Most of these people who's votes are in the process of being ignored by the DNC in their primaries should then logically vote for the other side! Dr. Howard Dean, think about that: you are going to screw up this party!!! I am disgusted when I hear Al Sharpton, the supposedly civil rights advocate, asking not to consider those votes because the DNC rules have to apply here, rather than on the super delegates! This is simply crazy!!!!!
Comment: By people who know the system do you mean people already in the system? So by that logic the poeple already in washington will continue to run washington? Where is the change?

BARAK LETS HIS RECORD TALK FOR HIM. HE COULD HAVE BRAGGED ABOUT ALL THIS. BUT HE HAS STA yed CONSISTENTLy HUMBLE.
Comment: His speeches are anything but humble ;)! His ads are not entirely truthful as well. Here's a nonbiased link: www.factcheck.org
Comment: Oh yeah, and Barack, unlike Clinton and McCain, has not taken any money from the lobbyists! Haha; You can donate to his campaign at www.barackobama.com
Comment: I think I recall a report about Barack giving money to charity he received from that slumlord. He did not give all of it to charity. So guess what? Unless he gives the rest to charity, he's still beholding to the slumlord. If I'm not mistaken though, in these kinds of circles usually when you accept anything from certain people, no matter what you do with it, you are thier slave for ever. Isn't the slumlord supposedly being sentenced? Then what do you think he will want as repayment?
Comment: He is hopeing for a Presidential pardon of course!
Comment: It has been very interesting over the last few weeks to note that Senator Clinton can only find the rather useless ???attack??? on Senator Obama pertaining to his eloquent, and intricately mastered speeches. Rather than find another flaw in Senator Obama???s campaign, Senator Clinton seems to underline the intellect of Senator Obama???after all, does she want Senator Obama to sound like President Bush? On Tuesday night, Senator Obama laid down his views; it was not just words that sounded good, but rather action that he has promised to deliver. Yet, in I guess what some would call, ???Survival for the Fittest,??? Senator Clinton came back on Wednesday with the same ol??? same ol???. It???s getting really old, and maybe she should try going this route, after all, Senator Obama has racked up 10 straight victories in the primary caucuses.
Comment: McCAIN"S WIFE CANNOT BE proud with the NEW yORK TIMES?
IS SHE proud of HER HUSBAND?
ONE DAy AFTER ATTACKING MICHELLE OBAMA, CINDy McCAIN finds herself in an akward position.
I am sure MICHELLE WELL NOT STRIKE BACK. McCAIN did a masterful job in taming his wife's new found voice of criticism against Michelle.
NOW it is her time to answer questions about her husbands affair in two thousand. THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED by McCAIN's former aides.
McCain already has issues with CONSERVATIVES this will not help his CAUSE.
CAN IT BE THAT HUCKABEE's pRAyers HAVE BEEN ANSWERED
LET's LOOK AT THE FACTS.
OBAMA has shown he can organize millions of people into an organized and effetive political force.
He has made the correct judgements consistently throughout his campaign. AND THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER. AT HARVARD AS WELL.
HIS TEAM IS A REFLECTION of HIM ORGANIZED HONEST AND HARD WORKING.
CONSISTENT, GENUINE.
LET"S LOOK AT HILLARy's campaign.
A lot of fighting and divisivness.
A lot of firing's.
A lot of bad JUDGEMENTS
CONFUSION AND pANIC as a result of bad judgement and wrong decisions.
THE BLAME GAME. IT's your fault, no its his fault, that's it you are FIRED.
LETs GO RACIAL My destiny is more important.
It is a reflection of her style. BROAD AGENDA's, BIG plans, that are blocked by gridlock, powerful lobbyist and her inablility to unite factions in order to implement a specific agenda. COMBINE THESE FACTS WITH SCANDAL and you are left with no HOpE and a BUSH in the OVAL OFFICE.
BEING president IS ABOUT UNITING THE COUNTRy. THIS IS WHy, not just anyone can become COMMANDER N CHIEF. BEING president involves making real time decisions very frequently. OBAMA HAS proven time and time again he has a "nack" for making calm, cool, correct decisions in a real time enviornment. BE HONEST LOOK AT THE CONTRAST in CAMpaigns. THE FACTS ARE THERE.
THE MEDIA NEEDs TO REALIZE THAT THEy are a tool of indoctrination. ANy GOOD politician can manipulate the media in their favor. OBAMA AND BILL ARE VERy good politicians.
OBAMA STANDS FOR REAL CHANGE. HE IS NOT A DESperate CANDIDATE THAT WILL SAy ANyTHING TO GET ELECTED. BARAKOBAMA is not a fortune teller he cannot have concrete plans ready until he has his complete pRESEDENTIAL team together. THEN HIS pLAN HAS TO pASS BOTH HOUSES. ONE step at a time. TO GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL is a political trap because things change. OBAMA IS A pro and will not fall into that trap.
Comment: Even though he has a lot of emotional appeal, I think we should be considering other things very seriously in this vote. Looking deeper at his policies does not lead to a satisfying result - he is voted most liberal senator, so how is he going to get Republicans to cooperate with him? His policy outlines on his site are very liberal offer no realistic way to pay for the unending promises he makes. And we just don't know how he will withstand a general election campaign. This is the presidency! If we have a person in office who isn't a personality superstar, but who gets things done effectively, who cares if her personality is less than perfect?
Comment: How many of you young people are ready to take care of your parents?
Unfortunately noty too many of us, and not many of us will be able to ever. Seriously, there won't be any social security, and housing prices vs. wage standards are absolutely repulsive. So what are we supposed to do? Unless someone manages to save social security and fix the economy. out of the last 28 years 20 of them were Republican run...and look at where we are. Yep, hopefully a Dem can fix it..otherwise the elderly are indeed going to be screwed. But people on fixed incomes have no particularly good reason to support the Republicans unless that income is fixed at over 200,000 per year do they?
Comment: You know the Clinton campaign has given Obama the kind of scrutiny that would make a proctologist blush. And the best they can come up with is that he used his good friend's catchy phrases??? For crying out loud, it was a bunch of one-liners that most 3rd graders could identify the origin!!!
Comment: People of color have been waiting for this opportunity all thier lives. They did not want to vote until now. I wonder how many of them voted for JFK? They seem to liken Obama to JFK. I still don't feel he is ready but if this trend continues well, you may not like him but he will command respect. Just like good old GW. I am a Hillary supporter. Maybe if her name was Harry and male, she may have had a chance. My concerns is even Edwards said that Obama's healthcare is a weak solution. Our citizens are in trouble. How many of you young people are ready to take care of your parents? I see a reverse trend of elderly being disadvantage. How about the housing foreclosures? We will need to wait a little bit longer for that to turn around. As for foreign relations, well I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if the other countries refuse to do business with America. Immigration, who knows. We know where the republicans are coming from, yet, people are willing to put all thier hopes that change will come. Unfortunately we need solutions for change to happen. He truly has no clue how to solve the issues we are facing.
Comment: People of color have been voting before now, even back when they KNEW their votes didn't count.
Obama doesn't need to have a clue - he has the skill and courage to bring together the best solutions that are already out there. WE AREN'T SHORT OF SOLUTIONS, we are short of politician that are beholden to US, the voters, and not to the lobbyists and moneyed interests!
Comment: He may in your opinion have what it takes but he will be busy. I hope all this hype of hope and change will be a reality. Because if it turns out to be another politician in office, America is screwed, royally...
Comment: Wonderful response!
Comment: You're impressionable. Live another 30 years and you'll be able to see why the older generation feel the way they do. Are you ready to take care of your parents or grandparents? Better yet, will you be able to raise your grandchildren. That is a reality in the world today.
Comment: cOMMENTS these days the media takes it job very trivial, It has faailed to inform the AMRICAN people how well prepared are the CANDIDETES to perform the most imprtant job, leading our country as the best in the world in all means, ECONOMICALY, MILITARILY, ETC ,ETC..... After the big experience with George W. Bush, the media seems not to learn anything. It just continues blind and go with the hysteria of the crowd.. REMEMBER George W. Bush when he was campaigning for president HE CAME WITH THE BRILIANT IDEA HE HAS SPOKEN WITH GOD, and the crowds got hysteric, as well as the media. No one used the brains, no one made the necessary questions Due to the failures of George W. Bush, our country is at the door of an economical bankruptcy in which all of us will be involved- no exceptions Thanks to George W. Bush???s poor skills for the job, we have plenty more enemies than in 2001, and we attacked the wrong country. He gave us a big bag of lies, no body questioned him. Apparently no body in the media world knew anything about Iraq. anything George W. Bush, said, the media passed it to us in hysteria. The media should inform us now during the process of electing the new president the REAL /RECORD ??? OF PERFORMANCE OR LACK OF PERFORMANCE ???OF EACH CANDIDATE. Hysteria just for the rating is no good. REMEMBER: When the father of George W. Bush, ended his term, he left the country in bankruptcy. Many, corporations were under the protection of chapter 11 of the bankruptcy law, among them Merri Lynch, Macys, Bloomindales, Lord and Taylor etc. etc. Two thirds of the American people were paying the mortgage late. Millions were unemployed. WHO RESCUED THE COUNTRY OUT OF THESE CONDITIONS????.BILL CLINTON! and when he finished his term the country had a surplus. When you participate in a process as big as the rescue of the country (with your family or coworkers), you learn a lot. Hopefully we will elect the right person for president, remembering the George W. Bush???s poor skills for the job and the consequences we are having and will have and the media hysteria that took us there without thinking twice.
Comment: McCain is already been caught have an extra marital affair. What else is knew. THERE IS NO WAy McCAIN can beat OBAMA
Comment: Anybody will be able to beat McClain at this point, even Hillary...
Comment: The polls have been saying differently for over a year. Hillary consistently loses to any leading Republican, including McCain. Obama has consistently beaten the Republican candidate, hypothetical and McCain. independents don't like Hillary, they like Obama. In Wisconsin exit polls, self-described Independents went for Obama 2-to-1 - similar to other states.
Comment: With that scandal? Come on. Anyone can beat McCain at this point. He's vulnerable right now.
Comment: Obama hasn't consistantly been beating McCain. Its only been in the last few week since super Tuesday. One thing this election should have told you is don't believe the polls. Obama isn't beating Clinton by enough delegate which means there are still a lot of Hillary supporters, ones that might not back Obama just as his supporters won't back Clinton. A number of Hillary's supporters could vote for McCain for a veriety of reasons.
Comment: You got that right!
Comment: LET's LOOK AT THE FACTS.

Comment: Well said eddiewhere. No politician can keep promise "XXX" - but Obama WILL keep the promise to open up the process and tell the lobbyists and moneyed interests that their influence is not nearly what they think (money won't buy legislation any more).
Elect a cowboy Oil Man with a (barely) MBA and what did we get?
Elect a war hero who wants to make certain we stay in Iraq until everyone else gets a chance to become a war hero, and what will we get?
Elect a power-crazed "loyal wife" that allowed her philandering husband bring disrepute on the White House so she would remain "viable" for the same office, and what will you get?
Elect a community-organizer, constitutional law professor who has lived multiculturalism all his life, and we will have a better chance of restoring some sanity and dignity to this great country of ours!!
Comment: What, you afraid that a woman will accomplish what a man has been trying to do all these years? Remember women have been cleaning up after men's mistakes all these years. Nothing new. Ask any wife, mother, grandmother. This may sound sexist but a fact none the less. I recall a saying that it takes a woman to get the job done right.
Comment: Hello, how old are you? Did you not remember JFK and Bobby involved with a blonde by the name of Marilyn Monroe? Obama if elected will have his hands full of promises he may not be able to keep. The one thing that doesn't cost money is having to bring a nation divided, together. Good luck. His administration will need to stop the economy from going into a recession, fix the foreclosure situation, devise a better national healthcare plan, repay all the special interest groups for thier support. Hey, theres a whole list of stuff he will need to do on his road to hope and change. I say we have to wait another four more years. All of you must be rich that you can wait.
Comment: Yes elect someone on the premise of change but is in reality the same ole kind of politician. One with no experience in foreign policy. That takes money from intrest groups only to give it back when he gets caught.
Comment: Obama will be our president at... latter Lammas !!
Comment: Yes, elect Obama because is a new Messiah of the world ! He is bringing the light and our hope on the Terra!! He will be the greatest Muslim in our Caliphate ! He will be the power and the greatness !!
Comment: Well said. There is no better candidate than Barack Obama.
Comment: Unfortunalety for all of us the american people the mediatake his job very trivial, for them the rating is more importante that the future of our country, it has failed to inform the Amerian people how well prepared are the CANDIDETES to perform the job, no any job but the job that will conserve our country as the best in the world in all means, ECONOMICALY, MILITARILY ETC ETC..... After the big experience with George W. Bush, the media seems not to learn anything about how to help the country in the right direction, just got blind and went with the hysteria of the crowd and thinking "rating, rating, rating" REMEMBER TRY TO REMEMBER, George W. Bush when he was compaigning for president HE CAME WITH THE BRILIANT IDEA HE HAS SPOKEN WITH GOD , and the crowds got hysteric, as well as the media. Who was worse the media or the crowds? No one used the brains, no one made the necessary questions to KNOW THE CANTIDATE,, WELL or how well prepared he was for the job. Due to the failures of George W. Bush, our country is at the door of an economical bankruptcy, in which all of us will be involved" "NO EXCEPTIONS"" Who ever reads this, piece, think about,you, your family, your friends, your business etc etc." all of us will be part of the bankruptcy.and will suffered it. Thanks to George W. Bush,'s poor skills for the job, we have plenty of more enemies than in 2001 and we attacked the wrong country,. He gave us a big bag of lies, no body questioned him. Apparently no body in the media world knew anything about Iraq. What a shame Anything George W.Bush, said, the media passed it to us. The media should waek up and inform the American people now during the process of electing the new president the REAL HISTORY/RECORD OF PERFORMANCE,OR LACK OF HISTORY/RECORD OR PERFORMANCE OF EACH CANDIDATE. hysteria just for the rating is no good.
REMEMBER: When the father of George W. Bush , ended his term, he left the country in bankruptcy, Many many corporations were under the protection of chapter 11 of the bankruptcy law. amongh them Merry Lynch, Macys, Bloomindale, Lord and Taylor etc. etc. Two thirds of the american people were paying the mortgage late..Millions were unemployed. WHO RESCUED THE COUNTRY OUT OF THIS CONDITIONS.
BILL CLINTON. and when he finish his term the country had a surpluss. When you participate in a process as big as the rescue of the country (with your family or coworkers, you learn a lot The media donot mention this facts now because probable they do not bring any rating.to them.
Hopefully we will get the right person to take all of us out of the fiasco in which we are DUE TO GEORGE W. BUSH'S POOR SKILLS FOR THE JOB AND THE HYSTERIA OF THE MEDIA..
Comment: I cannot wait for obama to win the nomination and get his butt torn by the republican scum machine....If he thinks Hillary is bad just wait..all the voodoo he put on his followers won`t work and those rabid fans will have to sit with their tales between their legs..Remember payback is a ***...Hillary sit back n have the last laugh..You are too nice to clean Bush`s mess.
Comment: How many messes have ben cleaned up for Hillary. Do some research on Vince Foster, then talk about cleaning up.
Comment: IT is TIME TO SEND A MESSAGE AND DELIVER THE KNOCK OUT BLOW.
TAKING YOUR GLOVES OFF EARLY IS NOT ALWAYS THE WISEST DECISION TO MAKE. SOME MIGHT EVEN CALL IT NAIVE.
ONE OF THE MAIN POINTS OBAMA MADE IN LAST NIGHTS SPEECH WAS THAT THE CHALLENGE of implementing change is JUST BEGINNING> THAT CHANGE IS NOT EASY. AND WILL TAKE A UNITED EFFORT from all not just a few.
CAN HILLARY MAKE HER LAST STAND IN TEXAS AND OHIO A SUCCESSFUL ONE.
"OR WILL THIS OBAMA WAVE , POWERED BY A THUNDEROUS MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE, SWALLOW HILLARY AND HER ARMY OF LATINOS" eddiewhere 2008.
OBAMA GAVE A TREMENDOUS SPEECH IN TEXAS LAST NIGHT.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SPEECH WAS WHEN OBAMA MENTIONED THAT SOME LEADERS SAY THAT I CANNOT ENGAGE OUR ENEMIES IN DISCUSSION. TO THEM I SAY YES I CAN.
YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN.
Comment: Indeed ! He did it a "tremendous" populist and demagogic speech !! And nobody believes in that speech...even himself, Mr. Obama ! It impossible to cover such wide spectrum of nation's problems ! Until now you show something what is not
useful for the Democrat Party. You did it according with your thinking level !! It's OK! Freedom of speech and opinion for all of us ! But now is our turn; for people of Texas, Ohio and Pen !...All times we to consider is much wiser and more credibility for bigger states in comparison with Lilliput states ! And nobody from
other states is not welcomed to
put any kind of pressure on our conscience. Let' make our mind ! You have to go in China or Cuba for
such of populist and communist propaganda !
Concluding, keep in your mind one thing; If I have to vote between Obama and McCain, I'll vote for McCain,
a great American Hero and over 20 years as senator. He is much better choice and he is not just
a "chicken" in the politics.!! And believe me; It will be a huge turn out of Dem's for Republicans !!!
Comment: EVERY STATISTIC AND POLL HAVE Unanimously INDICATE THAT OBAMA WILL DEFEAT McCAIN IN A NATIONAL ELECTION. THIS IS THE REASON OBAMA WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
McCain WILL BE DEFEATED IN A LAND SLIDE BY OBAMA in A NATIONAL ELECTION. McCain is not he best candidate to bring economic change. THE BUSH ECONOMIC AGENDA WILL BE CONTINUED UNDER McCAIN.
THE ECONOMY AND THE WAR are AGAINST McCAIN. HIS ONLY SOLUTION IS TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO"FOR A HUNDRED YEARS". WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS. NOT ME, PERHAPS HOLY ROLLER CAN FUND THIS HUNDRED YEAR AGENDA McCAIN HAS READY FOR ALL TAX PAYING AMERICANS.
HE WANTS TO KEEP THE BUSH TAX CUT'S INTACT. AS KARL ROVE MENTIONED IN HIS MOST RECENT ARTICLE IN NEWS WEEK, the REGAN ERA IS OVER. SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS IS NOT THE ANSWER.
THE MIDDLE CLASS WILL HAVE TO SUFFER UNDER McCAIN.
HE BELIEVES THIS AMERICAN SUFFERING IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT A MISGUIDED FOREIGN POLICY WHICH IS BASED ON FEAR AND NOT REALITY. IN FACT McCAIN'S AGENDA IS BADLY OUTDATED AND VERY UNPOPULAR AMONG MANY CONSERVATIVES IN HIS OWN PARTY, manY oF WHOM WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA OR STAY HOME IN NOVEMBER.
REMEMBER THE PROBLEMS IN IRAQ AND PALESTINE AND THE REST OF THAT REGION ARE
POLITICAL in NATURE. McCAIN is a great MILITARY MAN. BUT HIS EXPERTISE WAS NEEDED in TWO THOUSAND TWO, not now. WE NEED CHANGE. AND OBAMA WILL BE ABLE TO UNITE FACTIONS IN ORDER TO BRING STABILITY TO THAT REGION.
I AM LOOKING F
