Or vote Biden or Richardson b/c God save our country if the newbie gets elected = who isn't even wise enough to realize what he DOESN'T KNOW yet; let alone play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey in the Oval Office! He clearly should have waited until 2012 or 2016. He's only 47, but he's such a baby that he's demanding to be King now :( Sadly the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Senator Obama is certainly NOT!!!! AND Oprah should stick with her own life and hawking her Book Club (which she can't even get right all the time either). JUST SAY NO TO OBAMA IN 2008 :( WE SUPPORT HILLARY '08 :)

I find it shocking that her fans would put up with such BS. _______________________________ It probably would have been terribly enlightening for you to have watched the Bill Moyers PBS interview with Dr. Ron Walters last night (12/14) on how race is playing out in the campaign? Dr. Walters is the director of the African American Leadership Center at the University of Maryland. He had some very interesting concerns to say about Senator Obama's campaign strategy. He pointed out that many African Americans just don't feel the connection with Senator Obama nor that he is actually focusing on the major problems which concern them most ie poverty, the fact that 50% of the prison population is black, and the mortgage/foreclosure crisis - which is especially hitting the black community hard. In fact Dr. Walters pointed out that Hillary's campaign staff had a much broader base of diversity than Senator Obamas! And she was very focused and in tune with the ISSUES of the black people, which is why the African American Leadership Center decided to support Hillary. (As much as women love Oprah -she just doesn't live in most women's world. AND Dr. Walters actually went further, saying some pretty surprising personal observations!) Even the Mayor of Atlanta, Andrew Young has cautioned that Senator Obama does NOT have enough leadership experience yet. And is also supporting Hillary Clinton in her bid for the White House as well. (This is from a black man who was very involved with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and the Civil Right's movement in the South) http://reddingnewsreview.com/newspages/2007newspages/andy_young_explains_why_he_is_no_07_091000299.htm Before you make such accusations about Hillary maybe it would be a good idea to try doing a little research first. You have a right to support the candidate of your choice, but PLEASE be more knowledgeable before stating your opinions about others. Andrew Card is a man of great influence in his community and obviously knows both Hillary (and Bill - sometimes as much of an albatross around her neck as a asset) very well. I take a great deal more credence for a candidate by the support given to Hillary by Dr. Walters and Mayor Card than I ever would from Oprah or Barbara. Hello JB from Boston –

Everything is a conspiracy and she is the only person with any grace, knowledge, etc. She has as much or more baggage in this race than any candidate of either party. To see the gushing by her supporters is just humorus. I am an independent taking note. Biden or Obama are the best choices from this group. The others just don't have it.

Where was all of this serpentine behavior when HRC was leading in the polls, preparing for her inevitable coronation? This isn't a "revelation," this issue has been known about for years and in the news a few weeks ago when Obama shared the story with high school students. Was there a noticeable, lasting fallout or backlash on his drug usage after he did so? No. What does that suggest? That the story had no legs in the media, despite Romney being the only Republican to condemn Obama's admission. So if it had no legs a few weeks ago, it wasn't for HRC's campaign to try and raise it again. If the Republicans were going to use it then it should have been the Republicans who raised it. Is it a coincidence that everytime there's an issue with HRC's campaign being responsible for airing Obama slurs that the scandal gets regurgitated "unintentionally" in the media, allowing HRC to enjoy the subliminal "hit" on Obama while she gets to claim ignorance, condemns the actions of the culprits and dismisses them? HRC hasn't been falsely painted with "high negatives," it's just a part of who she is after years of battling alongside Bill in the political trenches, rightly or wrongly. For all of you HRC supporters, if you can't see now that a vote for HRC means revisiting and reliving the lies, scandals, divisive, secretive, and retributive nature of the last nearly 16 years, then you have truly allowed feverish passion to trump reason. We've been there and done that with that type of degrading, demoralizing, non-productive politics. How in all that is right and proper can we think that continuing that path in January 2009 is going to be in the best interest of our country?

While I've never been for Senator Clinton, I find myself feeling somewhat sorry for her. I know that she entered this race with some high ideals and certainly the goal of winning. To date, I've not truly discovered her thoughts about what she will bring to this country as leader of the free world. Her comments sometimes differ from day to day. Her campaign has become very negative. . .not a positive sign to prospective voters, nor to the world at large. It seems to me that she is running scared, and the messages from her campaign are sickening.

Gosh it's nice of Sheehan to resign but he should have been fired for his irresponsible and borderline slanderous remarks. At least he had the good sense to walk away. Maybe Mrs. Clinton will now have the good sense to refocus her campaign on the issues instead of these ridiculous personal attacks.

Just use others in the campaign, then the blame goes to them. I expect Hillary thinks people will sympathize with her on this? Not a chance. This disorganized campaign organization needs to tell her to start talking straight to the American public. Americans are sick and tired of dishonest wiffle/waffle politicians who are out for themselves. That is why your numbers are dropping. No mud slinging on Hillary's part.

HOW DUMB DOES SHE THINK PEOPLE ARE? SHE IS THE SLICKEST POLITICIAN AND IS A FULL FLEDGED ATTACK DOG. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW THAT FROM HER PAST. This just makes it more clear...the MORE PEOPLE SEE HILLARY FOR WHAT SHE IS, THE MORE THEY DISLIKE HER.
