    i think Hillary's little comment is pathetic. The only people behind her are those who are voting for her simply because she's a woman. That's ridiculous and an embarrassment to the American idea. Her tears in NH prove only that she's desperate. Her comment at the debate only offers further proof. Enough women in America have dealt with an unfaithful husband or boyfriend, get over it. If you're dumb enough to stay with a partner like that, you don't have the right to complain about it. She knew Bill was unfaithful a long time before the country did, and it isn't as though it is one isolated incident. What is the saying "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". this has more than one application in the Clinton's case. First of all, she knew Bills infidelity was probable if not a certainty so she has no right to milk it, especially for votes. And second of all, we should learn from the mistakes of our past and not put a Clinton back in the white house. A close analysis of his presidency is to see the start of so many problems we have today, especially in the international sense, just ask anyone living outside this country with a moderate interest. It is truly disgusting that she tries to use her ill judgement as a means to get votes. What is even more disgusting is that there are Americans out there falling for it. If she's going to be so ignorant as to stay with an unfaithful husband several times over, what makes us think she will be proactive for the betterment of our country?

      Bill Clinton had good realtions with the world in his presidency. We did not have the problems that we have now with the world until Bush took over. I also travel and talk to many people around the world. Clinton was well liked and it is only in the USA where he got bashed so badly for his indescretions. Bill Clinton also had a good economic policy and we were in the black when he left the presidency. That is why he was voted in twice for the job. We need our country to get back to what it was. I belive that Hillary can do that and more. She is the one we need to lead this country out of this mess we are in. She is the only one running who can do that and she is up to the challenge. By the time Obama finds out what to do, too much time will pass. He needs more experience and he will get it if he is patient. We just need a strong leader now and he isn't knowledgeable enough for this job.

        Wow! You took the words out of my mouth. I did say that in an earlier blog and you confirmed it. guess I'm not that off target. Thank-you...

        • Posted By: ports @ 02/25/2008 6:36:23 PM

          You haven't been off target but it looks like there are some "Obamamites" and some "Rebublicants" who feel that we are doing them some damage because they are targeting us. Too bad for them but with a candidate with the knowledge and experience of Hillary Clinton, what can we expect.

  • Posted By: dswenk @ 02/25/2008 6:26:47 PM

    Its kind of hard to be portrayed as an emotional and kind person when your character beseeches anger, ambition, and grates on everyone's nerves! Bottom line is Hillary is a very mean woman, end of story.

    • Posted By: ports @ 02/25/2008 6:29:08 PM

      There you go again, spouting foolish talk about someone you don't even know. That is not debating, that is just envy talking.

  • Posted By: observer101 @ 02/25/2008 4:01:22 PM

    Clintons next step after the Obama pic scheme crashes and burns is to say she had no knowledge that was going to happen. Someone secretly put it up..." I did not have any knowledge of that photo" she will be saying as her fist will be moving up and down with the index curled over her thumb as she looks straight into the eyes of the American ppl. Funny THAT reminds of another little story of deliberate lying from a Clinton. They believe that we are so stupid as to think we dont know what they are trying to indicate with that particular pic....Desperation at its finest. Ports you say that its called being educated? Well you dont seem to be educated as to the Clintons "do whatever it takes attitude". I recall a certain incident where there was a certain real estate scandal, that a certain Clinton that was involved in, and there was some guy that was heavily involved in this scandal, that ended up dead in Arizona from suicide, Washington to Arizona dead with an empty breifcase...strange ...Funny how if he was still alive things might have turned out different for Billary. Or the Lewinsky scandal that we were at the height of and all of a sudden we launched cruise missles at Iraq for some goofy reason...Seemed to me the Clintons have a silly way of trying to make things go away, and still try to look angelic....Good thing is ppl still remember. Unlike other fools... Put that in "ports" butt and set fire to it.

      You are obviously not even in any league close to Hillary or Bill Clinton. Your filthy language shows the style of person you are-one who belongs in a pig "style". You spout lies and innuendo about people you couldn't measure up to with a teaspoon. Also, it is pretty obvious that you know it since you choose to use that kind of language with me also. Someone you don't even know. Why would anyone have cause to believe your filthy rhetoric then?

    ONE OF THE STRONGEST STRATEGIES HILLARy CAN IMpLEMET IS ATTACKING THE UNITy factor which is the driving force behind the OBAMA WAVE. WHAT HAppENS IF THERE IS A REpUBLICAN BACK LASH AFTER A NASTy presdential BATTLE. THEN WHAT? WHO WOULD BE THE most effective pRESIDENT in that scenario.

    CAN MINORITIES AFFORD TO TAKE THE OBAMA RISK. WE KNOW UNDER THE CLINTON'S MINORITIES WILL pROSpER as they did in the ninety 's. THOSE WERE THE BEST OF TIMES FOR ALL AMERICANS.

    LATINO'S ARE Loyal VOTERS. THEy WILL SAVE HILLARy . THERE IS GOING TO BE AN uproar because of the power and influence of the LATINO VOTE. THERE IS NO DOUBT HILLARy WILL WIN TEXAS AND OHIO.

    WHEN I THINK OF HILLARy I THINK OF My MOTHER. ROCK SOLID on my side no matter what. SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT IS "GOING ON" AND ALWAyS HAS My BEST INTEREST AT HEART. I IDOLIZE MICHAEL JORDON. HOWEVER I WOULD VOTE FOR My MOM OVER MICHAELJORDON. WHy I KNOW HER. MOST AMERICANS WOULD CHOOSE THEIR MOM OVER JORDON FOR president.

      By minorities , dont you mean whites? Seems like some are already pulling the minority card, Thought that wasnt supposed to happen til later in the election process. Looks as though the Dems are playing there whole deck against each other already and the REAL campaigning hasnt even begun.

        I just can't believe you could want a party in power who has trashed this country so badly. Even most Republicans don't want more of the same. Hillary Clinton will make short work of McCain.

          Im sure she will teehee..winkwink. Hillary is making short work of herself....Im not to worried about her now that she is stooping so low as to assume Obama is a secret spy muslim. Its so going to blow up into her face....no pun intended.

    IT is a two faced relationship because the CLINTON's have close ties with DUBAI. THE ARABS own more than twelve PER CENT of our economy. AND WE ARE heavily IN DEBT TO ARAB Financiers.

    IT IS OBVIOUS THAT voting for the IRAQ WAR has STRENGTHENED IRAN a hundred times over.
    IS THIS IN ISRAEL's BEST INTEREST?
    OBAMA IS very CONCERNED WITH THE RISE OF IRAN AND IS EAGER TO DIFFUSE the situation> Hillary WOULD JUST IGNITE THE FLAMES. WE NEED A NEW Approach.

    "TO SOLVE PROBLEMS we must CONFRONT THE SOURCE AND DEFEAT IT". eddiewhere 2008
    A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO RUSSIA DELIVERED THE LAST OF IT's NUCLEAR SHIPMENT TO IRAN.
    WE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED THAT SHIPMENT by confronting RUSSIA and making it clear that they cannot provide IRAN with nuclear materials. THE ex SOVIET UNION, EASTERN EUROPEAN nations and the five breakaway REPUBLICS in CENTRAL ASIA are the source OF THE WORLD's INSECURE NUCLEAR MATERIALS. BUT WE NEVER GO TO THE SOURCE and CONFRONT IT.
    THIS IS WHy WE NEED A CHANGE. THE SOLUTIONS ARE THERE WE ARE JUST FOLLOWING THE INCORRECT Protocol..





    THE Israeli/ Palestinian CONFLICT is what dictates political relations in the MIDDLE EAST..
    OBAMA WILL LEAD an ARAB/ISRAELI MOVEMENT FOR pEACE. AFTER ALL, THEY ARE THE ONE's THAT MUST CONQUER THE OBSTACLES that obstruct the PATH TO PEACE.
    WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA IS TO GET THESE TWO adversaries in the same room TOGETHER AS "MUCH" AS possible. WE NEED young JEWISH AND ARAB groups TO COME TOGETHER AT ALL LEVELS. OBAMA SHOULD SIT DOWN WITH THE TWO FACTIONS AND CHALLENGE THEM to build organizations that encourage interaction between the two groups. THIS IS THE type OF PARADIGM WE NEED TO FOLLOW if we wish to solve the challenges that face our COUNRy.

Or, maybe you'll do us all a favor and go away. And, please, please if you are still going to keep posting these deranged posts, can you please use spell check? It would make it easier for all of us to try to pay attention to your logic-lacking, hate-mongering idiocy. Have a nice day.

    Health care is one of the biggest problems that we have in this country and Hillary Clinton is the only one who is addressing it properly. Many countries have already addressed it and the people who live there are ecstatic about it. I have personally talked to many of them. Folks, there is no getting out of it, if you live long enough, you are going to have a health problem. For many it will mean huge costs. Costs which are not now covered by health insurance policies. If you think your policy covers the huge problems, think again. Insurance policies do "cap out". Witness the insurance company's investment into trying to keep Hillary out of the presidency. They know that she will bring the people the help that we need with this problem and they are doing everything they can to see that she doesn't accomplish it. Money is their "god" and they don't care what happens to us. Hillary needs your votes to insure your future. Don't let her down. She won't let you down.

    • Posted By: ports @ 02/25/2008 12:22:56 PM

      It is the Republicans who got us into the mess that we have now. We do not need another four years of the type of government that we have had so far. Poor economy, home foreclosures, health crisis, a war we need to end, and disrespect from the world. I could go on and on about what the Bush administration has done to this country. The McCain policies with give more of the same. WE need Hillary Clinton and the policies of the 90's when we prospered.

    Billary will ultimately be thwarted in THIER bid for the Whitehouse. Thank God...Having more of their drama ladened lives in the political scene for 4 years would be unbearable! I dont really care if Obama or McCain gets it, as long as its not her. Anyone who goes from being totally AGGRESSIVE to BAWLING like a wussy, then back to being aggressive again is not right in the head. After all do we really want a person in the Whitehouse that didnt even know what her "husband" was doing in the room next door. How oblivious was she really. The ORAL office was just a brothel to BILLY, and the Lincoln bedroom was a motel rented out to the highest bidder. These ppl had no respect for the Whitehouse. We were made to look like fornicating fools to the world thanks to those two idiots. As one comment said...Thank God for that blue dress. Even though Linda Tripp was an ugly scagg thank God for her taping Monica LEWD enski shooting her mouth off. Billary is a crooked duo that will stop at nothing including flash off there daughter for votes...Nice try but it wont work...P.S. I wonder if she ever gave back the Whitehouse goods (our taxpayer dollars), furniture to the Whitehouse...thats pretty sad to steal then 8 years later try to get elected into the very house you stole from...yeeesh

      Have you ever talked to a good therapist about your hate for women? It can be very debilitating. Really, you should see someone. It will help your anger problem too.

      • Posted By: observer101 @ 02/24/2008 4:13:33 PM

        To the contrary Im happily married, and that has no basis in this arguement regarding the crooked Clintons. I can spot a liar a mile away (what polititian isnt) and Hillary is definately a raging liar and supports her husbands sickening habits of womanizing. She has since before he was governor...YOU must approve of that type of behavior to be supporting her dumb ass.

        • Posted By: ports @ 02/24/2008 11:30:21 PM

          You may be happily married but I doubt the same can be said for your wife. You are much too angry. You cannot even pen a pleasant debate without resorting to name calling. You could use a good therapist and I mean now.

            Name calling awwww...Are you gonna cry too?...Its not name calling if its true. She is ignorant, and has the "Im entitled to" attitude. To bad she wont win...Looks like you will have to change camps and your tune...Like the Clintons.

      JFK has been memorialized as one of the greatest presidents in Washington. Well him and Bobby did the same thing. What a bunch of hypocritical morons. Look brothels have been a reality for years. If you are that prudish then you are a conservative hypocrit. Its okay for the Kennedy's to tarnish the White House but Uncle Bill does it and he's a sleaze? All the males whom have run this country have been sleaze. Now all the men are scared that a woman can actually do the job. AND do it right.

  • Posted By: ports @ 02/25/2008 12:01:12 PM

    Hillary is going to put a three month moritorium on home foreclosures. We need this badly right now. There are many people who are losing their homes and many more who are going to lose their homes. While this moritorium is in process she will fix the economic problem and get us out of the mess our country is in. It is obvious that we are in a depression. Hillary has the expertise that is required to fix the economic problems that we aare experiencing. This is a time to remember the 90's prosperity not a time for taking chances on the unknown. There are a dozen good reasons to make Hillary as our commander-in-chief. America, wake up, there are people in trouble and they need help. Electing anyone else is gambling on the future. Now is not the time to gamble with people's lives.

    HOW HILLARY CAN WIN AND DEFEAT THE GREAT UNITER. IT IS EASY.

    "HILLARY, defeating BARAK OBAMA SHOULD HAVE BEEN EASY. UNFORTUNATELY YOU WERE TAKING TOO MUCH ADVISE FROM THOSE IGNORANT RACIST CONSULTANTS OF YOURS.

    THE FIRST THING YOU MUST DO IS TRUST YOUR GUT AND DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE for the Present MOMENT. TAKE YOUR OWN ADVISE. SOMETIMES A PRESIDENT MUST CEASE THE MOMENT AND TRUST THEMSELVES. YOUR TIME IS NOW.

    COMMUNICATION- You HAVE TO MAKE THE AMERICAN voter feel your message.

    WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL YOUR OWN MESSAGE. CAN You MAKE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FEEL THAT SAME PASSION FOR YOUR MESSAGE.

    YOU HAVE TO RIDE THE OBAMA WAVE AND MAKE IT YOUR OWN. DO NOT FIGHT IT EMBRACE IT AND THEN ENGLULF IT.

    CONNECTION WITH THE VOTERS is what You are LACKING. GET PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT THE CLINTON MESSAGE. WE HAD THE BEST OF TIMES IN THE NINETYS.

    TECHNICALLY ATTACK OBAMA ON THE ISSUES. RALPH NADER KNOWS HOW TO ATTACK OBAMA ON THE ISSUES. HE DOES IT SO EFFECTIVELY AND ACCURATELY WITHOUT GETTING MAD AND ENGAGING IN PERSONAL ATTACKS. HE SMOKED OBAMA.

    IF YOU could ADOPT the NADER attack Platform on OBAMA and effectively use it in the next DEBATE YOU will have no PROBLEMS winning OHIO and TEXAS.

    AMERICA HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH IN OHIO AND TEXAS. VOTERS WILL VOTE FOR YOU IF THEY CAN FEEL YOUR MESSAGE. THAT MESSAGE SHOULD NOT BE CAMAFLOUGED WITH ANGER BUT RATHER THE CALMNESS OF A ROCK HARD LEADER.

    HILLARY you MANAGED TO DO THIS AT THE END OF THE LAST DEBATE.

    DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAPS THE OBAMA CAMP HAS SO SKILLFULLY SET FOR YOU. THEY LAUGH EVERy TIME YOU FALL IN. You should have saved the pamphlet and calmly surprised him at the DEBATE ON TUESDAY. THAT WOULD HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING.

    I JUST GAVE You the BLUEPRINT to EASY VictoY. RELAX HILLARY theY want You to Panic and FALL APART. You have to embrace the criticism and smile. GETTING MAD in Public is alwaYs a mistake. VENT Your anger out on BILL. YOUR CONSULTANS MAKE THINGS COMPLlCATED. MAKE YOUR MESSAGE CLEAR. REMEMBER HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME AND LOOK WHERE You are GOING HILLARY. YOU WON NEW YORK, and CALIFORNIA. THERE'S no waY You can lose if You follow this BLUEPRINT.

    THE TIME IS NOW

    YOUR TIME TO PROVE YOU ARE PRESIDENT HAS COME. TRUST Your GUT AND NEVER show anger" EDDIEWHERE 2008.

    Los Angeles 02/2008 DATELINE --- Do they care -I'm losing my house to predatory loan! IT'S amazing how many homeowners watch the race covreregae but will not fight the foreclsoure process. According to borrowerhotline .com, more than 70% of american homeowners accept their fate and eat the pain of a forclosure. This information is offered by Maher Soliman, the web site publisher and managing director for NLS.

    According to the website, in June this year the secretary of Housing and Economic Development of the Patrick administration Dan O???Connell took the initiative along with government officials and top mortgage firms??? executives from Massachusetts to develop means through which foreclosure can be avoided and the foreclosure victims can be aided.

    Delinquent Sub-prime loans were accentuated to be the main reason responsible for the soaring rise of foreclosure victims. Borrowers with bad credit history were allowed with high risk loans as they were tempted seeing the initial rates were low. The ravaging effect started when the rates of interest shot up unexpectedly high. Enactment of laws checking the foreclosure rates were suggested by Governor Deval L. Patrick.

    In April in meeting called by the Patrick administration it was suggested that the State should financially help to refinance loans to reduce foreclosure rates.

    Reforms aiming to help the debtors to catch up were planned and corresponding schemes were passed in 2006. The plan targeted to provide defaulting hose owners to catch up by extending the grace time from 60 to 125 days. Unfortunately the plan failed to go very far.

    NLS and borrowerhotline are consumer homeowner advocates pushing to stop foreclosure due to predatory lending practices. Call Direct at telephone 310-435-2628

    I just realize something. If Obama gets the nomination he may not be on a political demise. He has been attracting numbers of first time voters. i don't think McCain can beat that. On the other hand he will have a better shot agianst the hated Hillarybecause the Obama supporters will not vote at all because Obama won't be there. the numbers will then be more of the past numbers. Food for thought especially for the republicans.

    • Posted By: ports @ 02/24/2008 12:28:24 AM

      I also believe that we are not seeing a true democratic response. McCain wants to go against Obama, not Hillary. The Republicans feel that they can beat Obama but know that Hillary will be their demise. Obama does not have it to beat McCain and the Republicans are working to get him and upset the democratic ticket. Don't let this happen America. We could end up with another 4 years of The same thing that we have now. Our country can't take that. It will be disastrous.

      • Posted By: Politico Journo @ 02/24/2008 12:18:56 PM

        Ports: I have to wonder where on earth you get your nformation. The Republican party want Hillary; they believe her nomination will energize their bases. Why? Because they hate her to their bones. Why? Because she deflected their wish to impeach Her husband -- partly by saying it was a right wing conspiracy.
        They are infuriated and can't wait to trash her in a general election. In fact, Ann Coulter, the rabid dog mouthpiece of the right wing just endorsed Hillary, saying that "Hillary is smarter than McCain." There is no question that if Billary is nominated,, Republicans will be driving 100 year old grandmas to the voting polls with joy! Sen. Obama has crossed the line and now attracts all kinds of Americans -- he's no longer just the new kid on the block.
        The real danger to either Democratic candidate is Ralph Nader. He will obviously not win, this third time around, but he can siphon off votes, as he did when Gore ran, to help turn the general election over to McCain and lose the Democrats their chance at the general election. He is the real spoiler here. The Republicans have welcomed him to the election with open arms. Betcha they start pitching for HIM. What an unclassy guy. His ego is more mportant than his country. If Nader had any class, he would endorse one of the current candidates. One of them is on the same page as Nader was years ago about NAFTA. Go figure. jmb

        • Posted By: ports @ 02/24/2008 11:41:01 PM

          Grow up! The Republicans aren't going to want to go up against a Hillary because in a previous time they were twarted in an attempt to do damage to Bill Clinton. Do you realize how many times the two parties differ on issues or policies? One issue like that is not a deciding point. They want this election and they want Obama as an opponent. They believe they can beat him. All of the ideas that she has are the ideas that Obama tries to immulate in one form or another but she comes up with them first. If we want to win this election we need Hillary Clinton.

  • Posted By: cookie123 @ 02/23/2008 1:42:07 PM

    Senator Clinton trying to connect with the American people on an emotional level? I don't think so...it is an act of desperation (read: http://www.newsweek.com/id/43362). As a middle-aged single female with a child, I instinctually feel that Senator Clinton has had to discard her emotions for survival sakes. Her husband's adulterous affairs and lies were witnessed by the whole world; women across America were asking "why doesn't she leave that disrespectful liar?" and eventually we all knew why. Hillary needed Bill to advance her political aspirations, leaving him would jeopardize her plans.

    The kind of overwhelming negative attention that Senator Clinton has been experienced would surely deaden my emotions, making me wary of showing too much emotion to anyone - especially strangers for fear of fealing vulnerable. Trying to connect with the public on an emotional level will not work for Senator Clinton. God knows she is a fighter not a quitter, however I believe that her type of person is desperately needed elsewhere in our government just not as Commander in Chief.

    • Posted By: ports @ 02/24/2008 1:26:54 AM

      You talk like a woman who has let life beat her up and you just accept it. Don't teach your child that if life hands you lemons, you have to eat them raw. You can make lemonade. Hillary Clinton is a great example of a woman who has been handed some bad shots and she still continues to work for what she believes in. So the world has beat you up, well join the crowd. I teach my children that they can do anything that they want regardless of what the world tells them they have to do. You can pull yourself up and accomplish your goals. Don't tell anyone, even yourself, that you have to accept what others dish up. Hillary is experiencing negative attention because she is a woman and no other reason. It has been a revelation to me to see how many prominent people and networks feel threatened by that. More reason for her to work hard to accomplish her goals.

      • Posted By: twinoftwins @ 02/24/2008 10:46:11 AM

        That is funny, you think because people don't like Clinton it is they are scared because she is a woman. I'm an over 50 woman and I just plainly do not like her. I do not trust her one bit, and that is the only reason I would never vote for her. If there was a good woman running that I could trust I would vote for a woman. But because there is not, I will vote for Obama. How can you say she was handed some bad shots, because her husband cheated on her, well get in line. Most woman have gone through a lot more than that in life and with out much money or support that she has on her side, and have become even stronger than her. She is lucky her life has been so easy.

          She has gone through having people skew her for no reason than that she is a woman and people who like you who say they just don't trust her with no valid reason for it. Have you even read the crude words that have been slung at her. I haven't read one word calling Obama or any other man a Bastard but I have seen the word *** used countless times with regard to Hillary. These people are women haters and I call them at it. If you're a woman, you don't face the facts that women do get downgraded for trying to accomplish what men have always had and that is the presidency. Having the world sling shots at you takes a strong person to stand up to it and I applaud her for her strength to stand up to it. I happen to think that she is a very good person. Everything that she stands for is decent and good and she does not deserve this meanness from people. As far as an easy life, how would you know? Do you walk in her shoes? You are being judgemental without knowing her. You're the same as the people who call names, and if you're a 50 year old woman, you should know better. Shame on you.

            Oh my, using her words. Unlike some I do not lie and am indeed an over 50 year old woman. Maybe you should look up her back ground. Just because she can hide things and think we will forget does not make things she has done go away. The best way I can sum it up is her view is a little in your pocket and a lot in my pocket. That is how I have seen Bill and Hillary for years and that opinion is not going away, mostly because she has never come clean on anything she has ever done wrong, or Bill either for that matter.

              You give no reason for disliking a person and make bald staements such as "she is hiding things" but do not says what things. That is prejudice and yes, shame on you.

    In vain some political amateurs draw water in a sieve and they have a short memory what Clinton's family done for all Americans. Bill was the best President as economical policy from the last five decades. But some of "enemies" suffer by "memory vacuum" !They want to "sell" this country on an international market. They are targeting the all American people to splodge through the mud...Finally, all this stupid communist propaganda will be failed. When the Oprah's millions of Dollars will be gone into the Hell, all true Americans will wake up! Because our enemies want to bring a hornet's nest about one's ears ! But I hope wouldn't be too late !! I am sure OHIO and TEXAS will make the difference ! Penn will put the final seal !! But Florida and Michigan will stand up for their civil rights and will prevail on the last audit signature !! If we'll fail on our desiderata, our path diverge. Deuce take it ! We have to switch on the Plan B; We vote for John McCain, a great American hero. Amen !!!...

    Maybe Clinton can learn how to run a better campaign from someone who is "still in training". This "Clinton or nothing" attitude only proves my point.

      Are you saying that running a good campaign means you deserve to be elected president? Bush was elected twice and look at the mess he got us in to. We certainly don't need another rerun of that travesty.

      I'll go for that. His speeches are good. I still have to vote what I feel is in the best interest of my family. Unfortunately this election will not take care of my family only I can do that. I am a single mom and now grandmother raising her grandchild. What I write about I know. And your candidate should know the subject matter and stop promising things that are unattainable in the short term. He's offering hope and change, has no clue how to get it. I don't know if people really are buying it or they are setting him up for a slaughter. If the democrats are lucky enough to get the White House, I will support my president especially when I travel abroad.

    With major union endorsements, Obama is very hard to stop. Unions get out the vote, the media is giving Clinton benefit of the doubt. It will be clear on Mar. 4.

      What do mean "unions"?! An old fashion movement with couple of percents from all US workers ! On the other hand, the vote is strict secret.! Who cares about that ?! All voters have a full freedom to vote what they want !! You have to remember the people of Massachusetts dismissed Tedd Kennedy's endorsement !!!
