    Maybe Obama should get out. Hillary won Florida and Michigan. Lets not disenfranchise our fellow citizens who came out to vote. Largest numbers ever. The DNC in 2008 is a much worse disenfranchiser than the Republicans and the Supreme court were in 2000. If the votes are counted in Florida in 2000, she is ahead. And then we will see what happens in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Obama basically wins caucus states where older and working people are disenfranchised.

      Clinton's "win" in those states don't count because Obama wasn't on the ballot -- because they agreed not to campaign there!

        she didn't campaign in michigan, but chris dodd, kucinich and biden WERE on the ballot. ALSO, there was an INTENSE local campaign run by a congressional rep who CREAMS for all things obama, and it was against hillary, telling people to vote uncommitted. and SHE STILL WON FIFTY ONE PERCENT without having the ability to EVEN DEFEND HERSELF. as for florida, the MESSIAH ran an illegal cnn ad there. hillary ran NONE. i'm so sick of you morons

    So Hillary should quit because the media is drunk on Obama's snake oil has anointed him? Or Hillary should quit because right wing pundits, wolves in sheeps' clothing, keep praising Obama while trashing Hillary in order to help get Obama the nom becuase they know he is the easist to beat in November? Or Hillary should quit because Republicans crossed over in caucus states to help pick the weakest opponent .Obama?

    The media has proven that sexism is alive and well in American. NBC's Williams and Russertt are proof of it. Both soft balled Obama while being attacks dogs on Hillary. Woman bashing is OK. Holding Obama to the same standards as Hillary, of course, is racism -- just ask Obamanuts and various Afro/American leaders. The media members who aren't intoxicated on Obama's snake oil are cowarding in fear of being called racist!

    As Pat Buchanan put it the Republicans are not intoxicated or fearful. They will land on Obama with both feet.

    Obama will get the Demo nod only to be crushed by McCain as the last darling of the very liberal wing was in 1972 -- McGovern! Only a centrist has been able to beat a Republican. No liberal Democrat has beaten a Republican, and Obama is not going to be the first to do it!

    Would Obama's supporeters be good little cultists and drink the Kool aide after Obama tanks in November. Maybe that way the Democrats can nominate a centrist, so the Party can again hold the presidency!

    Why does the press favor Obama so much? He is so coddled by the media it makes me want to vomit. In addition, the man could not speak if his life depended on it. Next time he debates, count how many 'uhs' and 'ums' he says in his rebuttals. Also, why has the press not harped on him about not planning to attend the conference in New Orleans? Or, about the purchase of a home at the top of the market in Chicago for $300,000 BELOW MARKET VALUE from Chicago's most notorious slumlord?? WHERE ARE OBAMA'S DIFFICULT QUESTIONS?? OH, YEAH, WE HAD BETTER NOT PICK ON HIM AND HIS INEXPERIENCE, WE MIGHT BE CALLED A RACIST!!!

    • Posted By: Gamagail @ 02/25/2008 8:58:26 PM

      If Obama gets the nomination, what do you think is coming at him. will you personally feel better once he's dragged through the mud? What experience do you want him to have? All the candidates are senators. Joining the military and marrying a would be president are not on his resume so does that mean he doesn't have the capacity to choose a cabinet and lead a nation. It's unimaginable that one person could come along and say enough is enough we need a new way to do business. No president does it alone. When his cabinet consists of dems, republicans and independants who are verse in foreign policy, economy, trade, ecology and healthcare for all the world to see, then we will all be the judge of what experience has to offer. Our experienced leaders have torn us a new *** and so many people love it. We the people have put our faith in leaders who lied to everyone and have run our debt up and so much more horrible things than that. Not once have I heard let alone seen the current administration attempt to end the divisiveness of this nation. Is that not a worthy endevour? At one Obama rally you can see the people, you see the nation, together, unified. That says alot more than you give credit to.

    I just rember Carter had the same message as Obama when he ran as an outsider. What a mess we had to indure. He was and is a great man, but it was a disaster for the U.S. Mikebrr

  • Posted By: MEDICAL LDF @ 02/25/2008 7:29:35 PM

    JUST PAY ATTENTION TO ONE OF THE DIFFRENCES BETWEEN THE TWO. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN FORCED TO BUY SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT PARTICULARLY BE ABLE TO AFFORD? IT DOESNT FEEL SO GOOD. I AM ALL FOR HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE HOWEVER LETS MAKE IT AFFORDABLE AND THEN LET IT BE AN OPTION. IT SHOULD NOT EVER BE MANDATORY AFFORDABLE YES BUT NOT MADATED. LOOK AT THIS POINT YOU WILL PAY A FINE IF YOU DONT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER CLINTONS PLAN AFTER 3 TIMES OF NOT HAVING IT YOU WILL THEN GO TO JAIL. SO IF YOU CANT AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE YOU THEN GET AN ADDITIONAL BILL TO PAY GREAT! THEN YOU MAY LOSE YOUR JOB BECAUSE YOUR IN JAIL THEN WHAT ITS A DOMINIO EFFECT YOU CANT FORCE AMERICAN TO DO THAT. JUST MAKE IT AVAILABLE LIKE UNDER OBAMA HE SAID HE WILL LOWER THE COST THERE FOR IF YOU WANT IT ITS AVAILABLE FOR YOU............ THINK ...

    • Posted By: kyteacher @ 02/25/2008 8:58:04 PM

      You get so upset... with Hillary.... but Obama mentioned briefly during the Texas debate that HE WOULD IMPOSE FINES if he could not persuade all to "buy" into health insuance. Catch a rerun and listen carefully. He said it when he was pressed by hillary. She asked him "what would you do if people still chose not to purchase your affordable health care?"

    Recently I read that the Obama campaign calls the Clinton campaign "Jaws." That's because just when you think the beast has disappeared it attacks again. So, now it's Saturday, and after telling Barack and the American people on Thursday that she was "honored" to be on the same stage with him, today she's telling him he should be ashamed of himself, scolding him as if he's a schoolboy who deserves to be put in the corner.
    Hillary, make up your mind. Today I remembered the distinction which the sociologist David Reisman,
    in his book The Lonely Crowd made between inner-directed and other-directed people. Hillary creates the impression that she lacks an inner moral compass and therefore follows the advice of whoever's voice is loudest among her campaign gurus on a given day. Is that how she'd govern? Also, at this point she isn't doing me proud as a woman who is just about her age. In her unprincipalled vacillation she seems to be acting out the stereotype of the woman who can't make up her mind and/or who is letting herself be buffetted around by the tides of emotion within. Obama, in contrast, seems rock solid in his determination to keep the campaign as civil as possible, while defending himself when necessary. In doing so he creates an aura of integrity and assurance which is inspiring and comforting and, I believe, has a great deal to do with why more and more voters are choosing him as their candidate. We are so lucky to have him. At last, a leader as good as all that's best in our people and our culture.

      I disagree. Hillary can be honored to be at the debate with Obama and still speak out for her own campaign and in what she believes in. This just makes good common sense. Quit trying to psychoanalyze this woman who has the backbone to run for president in a male dominated world.

      • Posted By: misterjenkins @ 02/24/2008 4:15:14 PM

        Yes.. Hillary can be a hypocrite all she wants and I will look the other way because she is a woman. Another good point, enja...

    Should HIllary resign, I would vote Republican! i have no use for the likes of Obama; "lots of wind and no sail."

  • Posted By: Gemstone @ 02/25/2008 8:56:25 PM

    I have two big hopes out of this election! First is that Hillary Clinton get the chance to show America just how much she can solve the serious problems we face. The second is that the American public demands and gets a non agenda driven news service and support is 100% from both conservatives and liberals! We don't trust any of our news anymore in any form. visual, audio, print! GO HILLARY! Thanks for finally saying what we have been seeing about Obama for along time!

  • Posted By: phoebe @ 02/25/2008 8:56:19 PM

    Are you being paid by the Obama campaign? White men sure do have a problem with strong white women running for president!! It is so obvious that the good old boys are at work again to prevent Hillary from winning this election. You are a disgrace.

  • Posted By: carie0827 @ 02/25/2008 8:16:28 PM

    Why would any American who is not a terrorist choose to vote an islamic-facist muslim in that of Barack Obama? Any moron who does not read the facts and understand that Muslims hate America need to re-educate themselves in history. Islamic-facist muslims are responsible for more deaths of Americans than any other terrorist group. All of you who have voted for Obama should be considered traitors to America and need to be charged with treason.

    Hillary has a good resumee, Obama is just talking.....but this is not new...hardworking people never go anywhere...people need to learn how to talk like this guy. smile a lot, promise things and yes pretend you know what you are talking about, like this guy, or better yet, just repeat the things your opponent just said, but add more emotion, yes you will fool everyone, people will love you for that....

    If he had a little bit more substance I wouldnt be so skeptic....

    how much you got paid to write such none sense article? you should quit to write. The two candidate only has 2% difference now in deligates. That is not called a win. Period.

    ite 230 years is enough of the United States of Apartheid.
    230 years without female representation is enough.
    230 years without black representation is enough.
    230 years without black female representation is enough.
    Barack Obama would be perfect for the role IF he were female.
    Hillary Clinton would be perfect for the role IF she were black.
    Each has flaws. God made her female. God made him black.
    The USA can elect her president and elect him vice president.
    They are the best this country has to offer.
    Neither is perfect.
    But together there is a synergy that no man can put asunder.
    men have ruled this country with fists made of pre

    All of the news media needs to get real. None of the news media use Obama's middle name but they repeatedly use Clinton's. Let the American people know all the facts and stop being partial.

  • Posted By: pema1 @ 02/25/2008 8:34:20 PM

    Why should Hillary quit. All along Barack Hussein Obama has rely on his rhetoric and black who vote black. Clinton rely on her track record and performance. If Barack Hussein Obama win, I will definitely vote Republican McCain.

    Posted By: gingerbaque @ 02/25/2008 8:08:26 PM :
    Although Barack Hussein Obama attended the Trinity church, technically he is still a Muslim because he was born of a Black Kenyan Muslim.. Muslim cannot convert into other religion or they will be considered an apostate which means death through stoning. In the US he is safe from that threat. When he attended the Trinity Church, was he really being baptised and did he renounce Islam. If not then he is still a Muslim although he attended church.

    Anyway if he wins, I will definitely vote Repuiblican McCain not because he is black or muslim but because he as US President is willing to sit and talk with rogue nations and terrorists without any conditions.

    It will be a total let down to all those who have died in 9/11 and also to those that have been killed while serving to protect the security and interest of the US in Afghanistan, Iraq and countries in the middle east.

    • Posted By: KLW13 @ 02/25/2008 8:55:44 PM

      What? Barack's father was Kenyan, however he was not raised by him. He was raised by his step-father who is Polynesian. Therefore, Barack has never practice the Islamic Religion and never professed to being a Muslim. Everyone has the right to choose there on religion and he has chosen Christianity. I understand that you may not want him to be President of the US. But please get your facts straight before you publically speak about it and make asinine comments such as this one.

    Let me first say that while I do not claim Republican or Democrat, I typcially vote Democrat because Republicans tend to be too conservative for my taste. However, if Obama is the only one on the Democrat side, I will vote for McCain. I do not like Obama for many reasons, and I am saddened by the fact that I think many people have voted for Obama over Hillary because of Bill's past, which just goes to show you that some people never learn. I think many people have judged Hillary over things that Bill did with Monica, among other things. Obama is inexperienced, and Hillary has the political "balls" (excuse my french) to do business in the White House. Sorry, I just needed to get that out! So, in reference to this column, I think bowing out gracefully should not be an option. Hillary should fight it out to the finish

    why dont you people stop expecting god to come out of the sky to do everything for you and try doing something for yourself. my generation has seen you old politics screw everything up, obama might be a change for the better. and bush screw us so bad if we put a plant into the president's office it would be a change for the better so i think obama certainly can get us in any more trouble and maybe we can finally start using some common sense instead of old rhetoric!
