    Double negatives and misspellings of country names ("don't see nothing.......Irak") do not help plead your case well. Don't complain about someone elses life accomplishments, when you can't even type a correct sentence.

    I used to like Obama, now I can hardly stand to look at him because of the way the media keeps shoving him down our throats. After all her years of hard work, Hillary deserves better. They never miss an opportunity to portray her in the most negative way possible. It's just nauseating. Let the people finish voting. Hillary will know what to do. The media wants Obama because they are bored with Hillary. I hope they all have good health insurance!

      That's not true. Clinton is the one who was shoved down our throats and she is having trouble because of her own mistakes. If Obama made as many nasty personal and incorrect comments as Clinton had, they would be calling for his head by now!

      I feel the same way, I just can't stand him now. I'm so sick of him I'm voting for McCain if BO gets the nom.

        first of all it's obvious that you really didn't care for obama in the first place, let's just be real about this. if your favorite team was the underdog you wouldn/t say i'm tired of them talking about my team i'm going to switch to the other side. i think that in the beginning you were hoping that he would lose as he was at first but now that he's winning and the media is talking about the upset now it's getting on your nerve. you are a undercover bigot and you really need to look at yourself in the mirror. i bet you've even said some of my friends are black which is often said when covering up black phobia.

        I agree completely. Did you hear the NPR reporter the other day describing how the media have fallen so hard for Obama she called it "the Obama swoon"? Wish I'd said that. Mr. Alter is one of the swooners. Who is he to decide whether Hillary should quit now? I too will vote for McCain if Obama gets the nod. I suspect Obama might be afraid that if he doesn't get the nod RIGHT NOW the bad information will get out and then the party will be stuck with him.

      This comment is hilarious because you never liked Obama, stop lying. You thought he was novel and cute, but never really supported him. You are just like Hillary, he was cool as long as he was loosing. He wasn???t a threat then so you felt comfortable listening to him. That was when you were sizing him up as a Vice President. Don???t be a sore loser because your candidate has made severe misjudgments. Why does everyone cry foul and pretend like a black man with the middle name Hussein, and the last name Obama, running against a political powerhouse could ever have it easier. That is very unintelligent and extremely unrealistic. I don???t care if he had his own television station, that is a lot of negatives to go against. If you are seriously trying to convince anyone that he in some way has it easy you are sipping the proverbial ???kool aid??? that everyone seems to speak on so frequently??? And you know in your heart that???s the truth???

      Haha, I laughed at this "Thank goodness that Hillary has more courage than you will ever dream of having Mr. Alter. When some big guy demanded your lunch money at school, I bet you just meekly gave it to him and went home with your tail between your legs."

      I agree with you 100%! Hillary should stay in because she's the best candidate for the job.

    Tired of the rich, the corporations, the media (which is a corporation)
    flocking to endorse another lovable fool for a candidate like BUSH?
    So why are they shoving Obama down our throats? Why is it Obama can borrow lines from JFK,
    Martin L King, and other people's speeches and make it his own, and that's okay? Why is it that Obama has no accomplishments
    in his record, while he rides on other's accomplishments and makes those his own, and that's okay?
    Why is Obama's wife is forgiven for not being proud to be an American since adulthood?
    Why is it ok that the Obama's don't have to put their hand to their heart in respect to our flag, when everyone else does?
    Why is it alright that they are allowed to explain and brush away things that would otherwise enrage us if it was anyone else -
    like perhaps a Mexican or an Arab? Is there a virus infecting what otherwise would be normal thinking people, making them
    gullable mindless drones. We are a human race, unique, with free will. We have the right to make informed decisions based
    on unbiased facts, knowledge acquired, wisdom from experience and lessons learned. But most important we must question
    everything! Don't let the media present you with their choice. Question everything.
    It's time to rise above the REMIX - Barack Hussien Obama is okay for music and hollywood.
    A REMIX President - wow, no original thought, and nothing there, how sad.
    FIGHT HILLARY ! FIGHT FOR US the still living!

      My sentiments, exactly.

  • Posted By: Intelligent MBA @ 02/25/2008 6:44:52 PM

    I live in Ohio and will be voting for Hillary Clinton. I am not sure where the survey data is coming from, but everyone that I talk with in Ohio is voting for Hillary. We are very lucky to have two very strong candidates in the Democratic party. Unfortunately Republicans are crossing the aisle to vote for Obama because they know that he cannot win the Presidency. I will be voting for Hillary Clinton and will be proud to do so.

      Have you been paying attention to the national polls? Wait a minute, that was a rhetorical question. I for one, know that you haven't because Hillary is losing to McCain by the same margin that McCain is losing to Obama. For someone so highly educated and "intelligent" you sure haven't done your homework.

  • Posted By: M.G. @ 02/25/2008 6:56:20 PM

    Senator Clinton should NOT bow out just because of the opinions some people and various news agencies. I take exception to the poster who claims to be female and then states we should not have a female president citing of all things mood swings. America has been demoralised by the actions of Bush Jr who wants to force our so-called better way of life on other nations who have been around longer than America. Senator Clinton is needed and if he gets the nomination I will vote for her. At the end of the night she can say she went the distance.

    I predict that Barack Obama will have more delegates going into the convention. However, the Super Delegates will vote for Hilary giving her the party nomination. This will divide the party with the rank and file party members being alienated by the Democratic Party elite, and it will insure that John McCain will be the next President.

  • Posted By: orbuckeye @ 02/25/2008 6:56:10 PM

    Fight on Hillary. Don't ever give up. Take it to the convention; try to use superdelegates; take it to the supreme court; use all the illegally gathered information; blow up the democrate party. All the better for us conservatives.

    I admit I am an Obama supporter, but if he hadn't offered the only real chance to lead our country back towards what it stood for at it's beginning I probably would have supported Clinton. However, after her comments and personality "turnaround" over the weekend, I see that she is really just "one of the good old boys" in a skirt. I had held her - as the potential first woman president - to a higher standard. Well, lesson learned...

    I have to agree with tombovera Obama has "NOT ACCOMPLISHED NOT 1 Thing" while being in senate and the "ONLY" reason he even got to the point where he is now is because of "OPRAH and HER MONEY".

  • Posted By: devilboy @ 02/25/2008 6:54:59 PM

    This is Georgr W. Bush all over again... At the end of it all, I will be confident knowing that I did not vote for him... so I will be able to complain, with a clear conscience....

    Michelle Obama = Omarosa

  • Posted By: zilbanne @ 02/25/2008 6:54:23 PM

    Hillary R. Clinton, should stay in the race until after Texas and Ohio, I'm an Obama supporter but still I feel Hillary has worked hard to get to those two primaries. After the resuslts from those two States if she doesn't do well and win by a large margin over Barack Obama, then I think exiting the democratic race would a good idea. II think Obama will be a great President because he can inspire many people and get them to work together.

    By the way, Barack Obama is a Christian and has attended United Church of Christ for 20 years.

    Neither are "savvy" on economical issues. Both of them want to repeal the tax cuts to the people and companies who create jobs for the economy. Taking away the tax cuts and giving the lower and middle class tax credits is not going to create jobs. You need $100,000 in investment to create a job in the economy. I doubt taxing companies more is going to increase that investment. Wake up and understand how economics work.

    Louis Farrakhan is a fan of Obama. That's enough for me. If you're curious about Obama, find out about his church, and see if you want to give the country to someone as rabidly Afro-centric as Obama.

  • Posted By: michael42 @ 02/25/2008 6:53:49 PM

    i think you are right, but you know that hillary clinton has always been ready to do every things for the lovte of the power..lost her reputation Too!!

  • Posted By: ms23 @ 02/25/2008 6:53:47 PM

    Does Michelle Obama remind anyone else of Omarosa?

  • Posted By: readyforchange @ 02/25/2008 6:53:45 PM

    Mr. Alter is clearly not comfortable with the idea of having a female president. The Clinton / Obama contest is not over. Mr. Alter needs to vote in his state, and end it there... rather than embracing his own version of negative campaigning. There are still plenty of Americans whose voices have not yet been heard.
    It is really easy to criticize a candidate who actually has a lengthy political record, including accomplishments, on her record. I do agree...it is difficult to criticize a candidate who has accomplished little more than some presidential campaigning, on his past.

  • Posted By: orbuckeye @ 02/25/2008 6:53:33 PM

    Fight on Hillary, take it to the bloody end, tear up the Democrat party. It will only make things easier for us conservatives.

  • Posted By: devalex @ 02/25/2008 6:53:28 PM

    I am really digusted on how fellow Democrats can be so abusive to eachother. Both Obama and Hillary are on the same side with essentially the same platforms. If you would actually go onto their websites and read about what each individual stands for you will realize they have almost the same views and ideas. Hillary next to Obama has a lot more experience when it comes to International politics which I feel is a crucial subject at the moment. The other thing we need to realize is that any Politician can promise us change, but when it comes down to getting the job done, do they ever actually follow through on change that was promised while they were campaigning. All I am saying is find out what Hillary really stands for before you past judgment based on something personal between her and her husband. I hope she does not quit, she would be a "great"" President. By the way Bill Clinton was one of the best presidents we have ever had and he did bring us some "change".
