    Judidibug please listen closely. Only ignorant, racist, bigoted people would make a comment like "I fear his name". So quite frankly America doesn't want your vote. You are of the past. Slavery and Jim Crow are done and it aint coming back. Get over it. Obama is clearly the better choice. Americans of all races support Obama, including a majority of white Americans who've voted so far. He does salute the flag during the PLEDGE. That famous picture with Clinton, Edwards and Richardson was during the NATIONAL ANTHEM, distorted. Not every one puts their hand on their heart when at a baseball game during the anthem, watch it on tape. However, everyone in America puts their hand on their heart during the pledge of allegiance. INCLUDING OBAMA! - "Every since I've been in grade school." Furthermore to call him "someone from outside" running the country is false. He is all American. Born and raised. He is a product of our fine diverse nation of immigrants and PATRIOTS, including his grandfather. You are "my friend", who wants to vote for McCain because of your racist views, NOW ON THE OUTSIDE. Most true blue Americans aren't like you.

    Jonathan must live in an "Alter"-nate universe if he truly thinks Hillary will quit. Why should she ?
    She is the best and most qualifed candidate that the Dems have, and unlike her opponent, she has the substance, not just the style, to lead this country to where Obama can only " hope "and dream about.

    Yes, the current polls are in Obama's favor, but I, for one, still have faith that the American voters will recognize Obama's campaign as being one of marketing a product that doesn't even exist. Motivation is a wonderful thing, but without any concrete direction or original ideas of his own, Obama will lead us
    nowhere .......SLOW !

    In 2007 Obama's own wife Michelle, spoke publicly about her husband, and this is from a direct transcript of her speech:

    ''And then there's the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house, and that guy's a little less impressive. For some reason this guy still can't manage to put the butter up when he makes toast, secure the bread so that it doesn't get stale, and his 5-year-old is still better at making the bed than he is.''

    She also said that the TV version of Barack Obama sounded really interesting and that she'd "like to meet him sometime."

    With National Security high on the list of campaign issues, I don't understand supporting a candidate who can't even secure... a loaf of bread.

    Has the American public grown so used to the thinly veiled "Sneer & Veneer" press tactics of the current administration that we do not even recognize it in a new candidate ??

    Hillary, in contrast has taken on the big drug companies who are gouging the American public once before, causing them to spend 100 MILLION dollars to defeat her efforts ...AS THE FIRST LADY !

    As President, she will have the power and clout to finish what she started for our sick children, veterans, parents, and the rest of us, and work her determined and focused way, down the long list of issues that face us as a Nation.

    So the only cure for this Obama deliirum,( that seems to be spread by word of mouth,...his !)
    is a good dose of reality and facts that should cause any informed voter to welcome an incurable case of
    "BARACK-NAPHOBIA" : a sobering fear of electing an unqualified and inexperieced President..

    - S. Holmes

    First of all, "I WILL MAKE CHANGE AND WE WILL DO IT TOGETHER AMERICA" any F**K'in MORON THAT PREACHES THESE EMPTY WORDS WITHOUT TELLING YOU HOW HE'S GOING TO DO THIS IS A B.S.er, LIKE A HEAL ALL ELIXER SALESMAN BACK IN THE DAY any F**K'in MORON THAT VOTES FOR A GUY LIKE THIS, MOST LIKLEY VOTED FOR BUSHWACKER ! and look what you ended up with after listening to Bush's B.S. GREAT JOB GULLIBLE AMERICANS ! Hey Fools, There's a war in Kenya going on forever, and the first thing Oboma will do is send troops over there to stick our nose in somebody else's business again to try to solve somebody else's problems because his father has ties there. He's like a preschooler in politics "Knows Nothing" about running a country, and "Knows Nothing" about the other worlds leaders, he's never met with them, he only knows just about what you know "NOTHING" So why don't you run for President? The Hillary / Bill team already ran the country, well think about how much better the country was economically. Oboma has 1 year in the senate of total politics, and for the Kennedy's to endorse him is no big deal, Royalty? Come on a drunken mistress killing (ok he let her drown) thinks he runs the world, "Lame Ted"? endorses him, is a national joke. All the good Kennedy's are deceased and we're left with the wannabe's. The media reports all the facts? "There a Joke Too". Oboma started the badmouthing about Hillary, so Bill and Hillary retaliated, to defend them selves, same thing as if you hit me. I'll hit you harder. bigger, better, otherwise don't start and the cry about it for the sympathy from the mental midgets to come to your aid. and it's not about race? "B.S". Oprah is putting allot of her egg$ in one basket. You voted for Bush too didn't you? "Your Votes Are Our Future" Hey Country you did a great job with voting Bush in and then voting him in again? Go ahead and use your some more common sense and play with your new Obama toy, that may be hazardous to our future. Take the chance if you have nothing to lose, Haven't you lost enough?

    God help Us if Hilary doesn't win. Has everyone forgotten 9/11? Do you really want a PRESIDENT with a name like OBAMA? Not me! I will NOT vote for him period. Even if it means another REpublician in office again. I truly do not think this country is ready for a Black President either. A woman president yes . Men have had 200 plus years to mess this country up. Let a woman try to fix it .

    Hillary,
    I am behind you 100%. This editor is a fool and probably one of those cowardly males voting with their genitals and not with the "head on his shoulders". You are wise, tough, brave, and the right HUMAN BEING for the job.

    • Posted By: Meri @ 02/25/2008 6:01:20 PM

      Absolutely, this was the same idiot that said Hillary would not win in New Hampshire THE NIGHT BEFORE SHE WON. The way the male-dominated media has covered this campaign is disgraceful and is the exact opposite of any sembelence of journalistic ethics. If anyone should pull out it should be Alter for being a male chauvanist pig and Obama for being an Empty Suit who should have never run in the first place. Women across the country are getting madder and madder at the way the press has treated Hillary BECAUSE she's a woman. And Alter is, I don't know, but he's not a journalist. That much we do know.

    Hilary is a piece of trash, pure and simple, that's why she is losing!

    There was nothing genuine about Hillary Clinton's so-called valedictory moment. It was the sheer faking of sincerity. Not only is she insulted that Obama is competing with her, she is apoplectic that he is defeating her. I am not amazed by the dishonesty of the Clinton's. What really amazes me is how the press still believes them to be genuine..

  • Posted By: girlygirl @ 02/25/2008 6:00:25 PM

    So biased! Hillary is the only one "man" enough to take on the job and know what she's getting into from the start, with the experience to get the job down NOW. Some of the Obamans need to rethink the wagon they're on and do what's best for the country, not let the fact that she's a woman get in the way of their voting pride. The "good old USA" doesn't have the luxury of on-the-job training with Obama. Foolish article. Shame on you.

  • Posted By: ks243 @ 02/25/2008 5:59:50 PM

    How can Hillary withdraw gracefully? She hasn't run gracefully. In 1992, an inexperienced Bill Clinton ran for President. His only "qualification": Twice-governor of a small state, just like Jimmy Carter. At that time, Hillary offered herself as a co-President. Her only qualification: private practice lawyer. Today Hillary has repeatedly stated that Obama lacks experience. Yet Obama has more experience than either she or Bill had in 1992. Thus, she lacks integrity and logic. People who lack integrity cannot be gracious on any point.

    I think that she should stay on , until she has the chances. I will vote for her, and I will vote for her in november, not for Obama, I have not heard in he's speeches anything that indicates real change, he starts with one issue and finishes with totally different think he is not focusing on the question . If he is the nominee the Democrats will loose in November. Porion.

  • Posted By: LeAngela1975 @ 02/25/2008 5:59:19 PM

    I am confused as to why the media says we are not seeing the "real" personal side of Hillary Clinton. As a former Clinton supporter, I think we've seen too many sides of Hillary in this primary run. I had to question myself and decide whether or not I believe she will be stable enough to be president of the USA. The crying, then the mud slinging and then the hugs and adoration after more mud slinging...at the least, it is confusing to voters and her supporters. As a African American woman, I believe anyone, man or woman, regardless of ethnicity or race, can be president, but I believe our presidential candidates should reflect stable and consistent views on issues and not have such extreme changes in behavior. Our USA is becoming more and more unstable in economy, in security, in health, in environmental issues, we need a stable president to help pull us together and get us back on track.

    From Lincoln Leroux, Canberra, Australia: Politics is a dirty game by nature because the power stakes are so high. It's time the Clintons played hard ball, the way the Bushites did. Hillary has shown us all the family, warts and all, including her tough, admirable mom. Why no pictures of the Obama gene pool - the Kansas mom and the Kenyan pop - are they dead?

  • Posted By: thecitizen @ 02/25/2008 5:59:04 PM

    I would encourage everyone to deeply research each candidate before reaching a decision. This means to look at the candidates from multiple angles. There are many resources available, but please don't choose just one. I like fairvote.org which gives details about voting records. In addition, check out the blogosphere, transcripts from TV interviews and debates, and maybe even senate.gov. There is no excuse to be ignorant in this age of information. Remember, it???s your vote.

  • Posted By: Gr33nw3nv @ 02/25/2008 5:58:39 PM

    Honestly, I'm ridiculously tired of hearing how Barak Obama is a Muslim. If you're going to spit out insults, be honest with everyone and admit it has everything to do with his race and nothing to do with his ideals. If Hillary had reduced the snarky comments and planned for anything beyond Super Tuesday, she could've made a better showing in delegates.

    The part I find most amusing? The more time Obama spends in the state he's campaigning in, the more likely he is to pick up voters. The longer Clinton is in state? The quicker her numbers fall. The more words that come out of her mouth, the more she'll be picking up the shattered pieces of her political career.

  • Posted By: Ready4arealprez @ 02/25/2008 5:58:36 PM

    THIS IS THE STUPIDEST ARTICLE i HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Wake up America! Hillary Clinton is our ONLY HOPE! The media is so ignorant that they think they can win elections, Hillary is trailing less than a hundred delegates and the media wants us to believe this is reason for her to give up???? PLEASE spare us. Hillary Clinton is the only choice. Barack Obama is not electable and will be landslided by the republicans in November. I think that is why the media is doing this--the media is controlled by the republicans!!!

  • Posted By: beachthugs @ 02/25/2008 5:58:34 PM

    If she loses March 4th, pulling out should be considered. That many losses in a row would be tough to overcome. She's on a terrible losing streak. It's amazing how people are so angry over Clinton versus Obama. The fight should be Democrats versus Republicans. Everyones playing right into the Republicans hands.

  • Posted By: D. Smith @ 02/25/2008 5:58:29 PM

    Bravo, Jonathan Alter...!! BRAVO! You have said all that I have been thinking about this whole campaign war between Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama! I could not agree more! Perhaps Ms Clinton could have done better had she left her husband at home...and gone through this campaign on her own. It seems HE
    wants to be back in the White House as much as she does...and I think that is a hindrance to her campaign in more ways than one. In addition, it probably would have been better if Hillary had presented herself as a woman...instead of shouting and forcing her comments as a man would ahve done. Good God! Don't those folks have an excellent sound system? Or does Hillary, being coached by her husband, think that it is appropriate to shout and snear forceful and some men do!? I think she should give it up gracefully....and spend the next four years (after Obama wins the election) to change her apprpoach and tell Bill to go to his office and do what he does there!!!! She did NOT need him (with all due respect for Bill's presidency and all that it did for this country) - and she has to present herself as herself..minus the tears...pulease! Thanks!!
