    It is startling at how badly her orginization has underestimated the oppisition.
    Discipable is the word for the preformance of those that have managed her efforts from fundrasing to the ground game. The best thing the"Hillster" can do is go before the American people tomorrow night having massacured the orginization that has so badly served her house and say I have errored I have underestimated the compitation my campaign has failed me and has failed America and Iam sorry and with your help i will start anew.

    I don't think by republican attack standards this was not an aggressive campaign. I think the attack has been rather mild thanks in part to the elimination of attack dog Bill republicans are not going to hold off so expect a rough ride. I am from NYS and go for the hometown senator
    Right now it looks as if Clintons beef has no hoof ,legs,her campaign managers have snatched defeat from the paranas jawa of victory. It is discusting such a good senator with no ground game makes me wonder where her campaign managers allegiance lies .
    I WOULD FIRE EVERY ONE OF THEM for it is midnight in her campaign.
    If she is ever to run again let alown win the nomination .She must show the ruthless desire to set things right in her own house before she can honestly say:
    I WILL SET THINGS RIGHT IN AMERICA !
    The ax of firings must be swung decisive force. for her house is introuble racked from within by what at best can be described as incompetence,and actually might be treason to the middle class for if she goes down in hurrendious defeat her and our desires may never be reseructed from the sewers of republicanism and special intrests where the illegal alien drives over the middle class.
    The best thin Senator Clinton can do is go before the American people having having swung the ax and massacuring the incopetant in her house.
    The she can honestly say I will bring a better day to America.

    When Sen. Obama used (not plagiarized to me) words to mean something" I believed it was to give meaning to something that is stated in the "Declaration of Indepedence" and the words used by
    F. D Roosevelt when he referred to the attitude in the 30's " that we have nothing to fear but fear itself"'

    NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. I think we have more important things to campaign about then semantics. Grow up Hillary.

    Too early start slapping on high fives just yet, Obama has a long road ahead and a number of questions to answer. Hillary was easy. Most folks thought that she would be formidable opponent, but I disagree because of the negative baggage that the Clinton name carries and her voting base seemed to be just women. It was difficult to change white men over to her side and then losing the black vote because of Bill's remarks and Obama looking like a viable candidate and finally not reaching out to young voters. She was doomed. For Obama, now comes the hard work of convincing all of the electorate that you can lead this country. It easy convincing the Dems that your the man, but moving moderates and indies will be the battle between Obama and McCain. It is going to be an interest race.

    Maybe the Clinton camp should start to realize that negative campaign ads push people away from her. These negative telivision and radio ads only help Obama and his forward movement to the top of the Democrat ticket. You would think that Hillary with all her "so called" experience would know this by now. I guess not. Go Obama !!

    Whoever is advising Hillary is doing a poor job. She initially headed to Ohio and Texas to campaign--skipping WIsconsin and Hawaii. After being advised not to overlook these states, she heads to WIsconsin (briefly) and sends Chelsea to Hawaii only to lose, badly. One would think with an ex-president as help and 35 years experience she would run her campaign better than Obama's. There is no excuse, he's better at executive managing.

    Obama and Edwards...that's the ticket. With both of them in office, it can only make America better. They appear to have a sincere passion for making America a better place for ALL!! and once that happens, foreign Governments will begin to respect and trust us again!! because we as a contry would have changed for the best!

    Wisconsin is a sign of things to come in Ohio. Obama won among every category except white women. And even here she only really won among white women over 50...she barely squeaked by with a win among white women under 50. These are portentious signs. The voters in Wisconsin didn't care about Hillary's whining about Obama speaking without noting his source and they obviously think he has enough experience to be president. How can she say that Obama won't be effective against the republicans...after all, he's beating her handily...one of the most oiled political machines around. The voices of Hillary's supporters are becoming softer and softer while Obama's message resonates clearly. All she can do is become more negative which is exactly the last thing the independents want to hear in today's political atmosphere. Their policies are very similar and they would probably execute the office pretty much the same. The problem, of course, is that Hillary is such a divisive and polarizing figure that the most innocuous legislation would have difficulty passing in a split congress simply because it would have her name on it. The independents are realizing that if Clinton were to win the presidency (which is highly doubtful according to the matchup polling with McCain), it would be Ultimate Fighting Championships-Smack Down-Cage Match between Billary and the republicans from day one. America doesn't want this and Wisconsin is proving it. Her talk of experience is falling on deaf ears and the voters don't care. What experience does she really have that Obama doesn't? They are both senators. Being the wife of a president doesn't make you qualified just as the wife of an CPA can't do a tax return. Put a fork in her.....she's done.

    The longer we can hold off the Clinton machine...the better. And may we never be graced with that duo in office again. Hallelujah!

    Clinton has become a petty, screeching harpy, sounding like a woman scorned without the grace to accept defeat. I agree with Michelle Obama for the first time in my adult life I am proud of the steps America is taking to overcome prejudice, ignorance and intolerance. Both a woman and an African American are running for president where before only white males could hope to achieve such a position. Cindy McCain, who looks like shes drugged out all the time, should take the words as they were meant.

    Ah, the masses. So much of our well-being: economic, educational, international, budgetary ~ depends on the mystery of trust, especially as it relates to all people, not only people of stature. Clearly, through political savvy, the Clintons have increased their own family ~spoils go to the mighty; so here is where many of us 'get' Obama & his family ~ they do indeed 'get' struggle that ordinary families experience. With the poise of orators in an historical context, you would be hard pressed to find ANY so well spoken orator/leader, who has failed to engage the mass of his constituency in healthy choices, courage, debate, optimism, and yes, hope - who has gone into a powerful office, regardless of experience, and not succeded in progressing that very human longing. Hope is the only good by-product of troubles in life - ask my son, Jabez (named well before the popular book came out). As an elementary aged child, I was selected, it 1966, to attend a small Bobby Kennedy rally. Barak is the only politician since that eventual tradegy, who is worthy to pull the sword from the stone in my heart that froze me into the optimisim that I understood when hearing what Bobby wanted and died to defend. Part of me died with him and part of me froze that dream in time. Thank you Michele & Barack Obama, for your successful quest in retrieving that sword for me, for the common man, woman, child, First Americans.

    It is time for the Clinton to understand that American people don???t want he said, she said. They want something on the table. And frankly Clinton doesn???t have it.
