Obama should try the crying act. They may feel sorry for him to. But even more so that Hilary.

Two can play this game.

Hillary only talks big, so people will listen. Anything to win.
Clinton's have had their chance, now give a new face a chance.
She wants to get back in the white house, to steal more things she left behind the first time.
Also be able to tap Bills phone, read his mail, and paddle his butt when bad boy.

Last rob the white house of everything on the way out, after term served.

Hilary is lying through her teeth. She hasn't had experience in anything. She may have read Bill's documents, but never participated in foreign affairs.

As a citizen of Illinois, I do not think Obama should be trusted to be elected president. He was elected to be Senator here, and he can't even show up for work. I understand he is running in a presidential election right now, but he still has an obligation to represent Illinois and fulfill promises he made to us when we elected him Senator. He isn't setting a good example for how he will be as president. Also, on over 130 of his bill votes as State Legislator and Senator, Obama voted present, instead of choosing a yes or no stance; we need someone who can make firm decisions without worrying about political punishment from opposing stances. And finally, as aforementioned, he has the nerve to attack Clinton in regards to where her money is coming from when three of his political aides are lobbyists for major corporations including walmart. Hypocritical i think, thats a bit much.

POOR SICK MISGUIDED PEOPLE. THIS IS A SHAME!

In the spirit of CHANGE my friends pointed out that everyone has forgotten the Love & Peace of the 60's – are tired of the Good Times of the 90's – and are Wishing & Hoping for a brand New Tomorrow in NeverNeverLand. So have reworked the Janis Joplin ditty once again:

"Dear Oprah, won't you give me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Oprah, won't you give me a Mercedes Benz?"

"O'bama, won't you bring me a plasma TV? Dialin' for Dollars to stop Hell-ary. I wait for delivery each day until three, So O'bama, won’t you bring me a plasma TV?"

So much for running as a "Uniter of America" just same old – same old dirty politics as usual and a big bag of hot air to boot

Don't these people ever sleep?

No wonder they're all beginning to look like death warmed over and babbling on & on like a bunch of dead heads!!

Iowa, NH, SC, and the rest of these United States need to go back to the drawing board and move their primary dates later again. The folks in the early-bird states are sick & tired of the swarm of candidates knocking on their doors and calling at all hours of the day, especially over the holidays – when we'd much rather be spending pleasant time with our friends and families.

Whose bright idea was it to move Iowa to Jan 3 and NH to the 5th anyway?? Must have had "a heckofa New Year's Eve hangover" when they came up with that nobrainer

Sign me up for the No-Call list...

Obama is he getting SCARED again or is it a way to play the underdog after the Obama-Oprah hoorah? Who needs cash?

Obama the greatest cash raising machine known in the democratic circle beating Hillary on raising cash!

Who are we kidding now with mailings in the last two weeks!!!

Go Hillary44 08! http://hillaryis44.org/

What about Oprah? Is'nt she a special interest? Stop crying about everything Obama. You are no better or worse than the other candidates. Your whitewashing campaign will backfire. Once people realize you have a past yourself and that you use people ( Oprah ) and other groups for political advantage yourself, they will see what a hypocrite you really are. I use to like what you had to say. Now I find it nauseating. And as far as crying that the others are negative and the campaign is negative, you hav'nt seen anything yet. How are you going to survive the rest of the campaign if the relative mild attacks of the democrats are too much to bear? Give me a break and give me a candidate who does'nt whine and complain all the time.

Obama ought to know about negativity and deception. His entire campaign is based on it. Why is he asking for money from his supporters AGAIN? They've already contributed enough for him to outspend the other candidates by millions. He has dumped a ton of bucks into ads and his polls still drop. So now, get ready, here comes more whining about others saying negative things about him. What a light-weight! Get used to it, Obama. If you should accidentally come out on top, the Republicans will skin you alive.

It is very shortsighted to say "no money from political interests" as a political ploy. Don't let Obama fool you, America benefits from the money that is poured into a variety of needs, such as free medicines, healthcare clinics, re-education programs, etc. That money can be used for good, without bowing to special interests demands. Show you're smarter than a soundbite. TeMark R. Fort Lauderdale FLll Obama he's not fooling you- PAC money can be a good thing when used by a strong leader.

Clinton / Obama 2008

Talk about Mike Huckabee and the Bookcase or Cross incident!

Is that not the word "Hang" appearing over Mr. Obama's back in this cropped AP photo?

Go Obama go. Have no fear my galiant leader!! You've got the wind at your back, and my donation too, and you will win!! OBAMA '08!

Actually, that isnt what he is doing at all

Imagine my surprise that CNN did shotty research. I just got the email, he is asking for money so they can reach their goal of 500,000 individual donors. Right now they are short. They think it will send a great message if they reach that goal.

in this pick i see the word hang above obama also rack ,..,was the camerman fruedian ,.,.never the less i think hillary as the most experienced with the wife of a prez n nyc the world bussiness place.,makes her the best choice

If you thought the "floating cross" in the Huckabee ad was a subliminal message, how about the word "hang" in this picture behind Barack? Are you trying to say something, CNN?

Posted By Jason, Levittown PA : December 20, 2007 9:49 pm

Too funny. Every time I scroll past this picture now to read the Ticker, I can't help but think of this comment.

He is good at attacking, but when he is attacked back he cries. Senator Obama grow up. We need you as Vice President. Come on Democrats Clinton / Obama in2008 is a sure thing. The Repubs can just stay home on election. That ticket would be unstopable. BUT. I really think without each others strengths they will BOTH have a hard time beating the Repubs. It will take alot more then the POPULAR VOTE of the PEOPLE and they know it. Clinton 2008

I think the choice in cropping of the picture is unfortunate – it could be read Hang Obama – was the editor asleep at the wheel?

Obama is the superior candidate.

Go look at the detailed policy positions of Obama and compare with Clinton and Edwards.

Whose policies are more likely to be enacted (with support from centrists in the congress).

I will fight for Obama with my time, my treasure and if asked, my guns.

They are finally doing what I would have done, and are allowing us to actually donate to the campaign. Instead of soliciting funds, we can make sure they have the supplies that they will need to campaign effectively.

Oh poor Obama, he's being attacked by mean Hillary!!!!

Pray tell, when he went on the attack first back in October, that was alright by his groupies? I guess that Hillary was supposed to just roll over and continue to let Edwards and Obama bash her at will.

Pathetic!!!!

Let me tell you simple minded people about experience. It can be good or bad, and more often then not it breeds the same results. We've had Clinton politics in the 90's. There was some success, but mired in scandel. This is a new age, new millinium, and new issues this nation currently faces. It does not take rocket scientist to run this country, it just takes common sense and sound judgment.This country does need the same ole same ole experience, This country needs innovation. You cannot solve a 21st centrury promblems with 20th centrury solutions.

I will not waste my money on Obama because he is not electable.

Obama is not electable because: his inexperience, his poor senate attendance and voting records, his blackness, his personal flaws, his muslim background, his dirty tricks, his poor understanding of issues, his flip-flopps, etc.

The most recent dec 19 national poll from Fox News shows Hillary is ahead of Obama by 29 points (49 vs 20). And, the early state polls show that Hillary is improving her standings there. If she wins Iowa, Obama and Edwards can start packing.

Oprah effect didn't really sway voters
Talk show host's effort might even have backfired, poll says

December 20, 2007
Oprah might just as well have stayed home and hung out with her gal pal Gayle.

It was hoped her recent appearances on the campaign trail to promote the presidential aspirations of her friend Barack Obama would have dazzled women voters. But noooo . . .

Or so says a new poll released Wednesday by Lifetime Networks and Zogby International. The pollsters interviewed 500 New Hampshire women - to look at the views in this early primary state - and 1,000 other women across the nation to determine their perspectives on the upcoming presidential election.

And what the pollsters found was that Oprah made little difference in the way women are looking at the candidates.

In fact, with some groups of women, Oprah's efforts actually backfired.

In New Hampshire, pollsters found one-third of the women under 30 said Oprah "stumping actually made them less likely to support Obama." Seventy-three percent of the other women said it made no difference to their campaign choices at all.

Voters don't want "to have their entertainment figures involved in political support," explained Fritz Wenzel, director of communications at Zogby International.

The poll was taken during the Dec. 8 weekend when Oprah was on the stump for Obama in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

In New Hampshire, pollsters found Clinton leading Obama by 14 points - 39 percent to 25 percent, although 40 percent of the respondents said they still had not made up their minds.

More women head to polls than men
The point is the effort by Clinton's campaign to make her seem warm and cuddly may not even be necessary.

Women say they don't feel obliged to support Clinton because she is a woman; they support her because she is a strong, smart woman and a role model, according to the poll.

That is especially true for minority women who say they are more interested in supporting Clinton because she is a woman than they are in voting for Obama because he is a minority candidate.

And because more women head to the polls than men, the voting gender gap may also help Clinton outpace her rivals.

The gap was greater than ever before during the 2004 presidential election, with 67.3 million women voting compared with 58.5 million men, said Debbie Walsh, Director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

"There is great potential for women to play a major role in seeing who will become the next president of the United States," Walsh told reporters during a phone conference Wednesday about the Lifetime/Zogby poll.

Pollsters found 89 percent of New Hampshire women say they are likely to vote in their state's primary on Jan. 8.

Iraq isn't top concern for women
Sixty percent of all the women interviewed say this presidential election is more important than any other one in their lifetimes. They are concerned more about education, jobs and the economy and health care than the war in Iraq. (Although for New Hampshire women, the war was still the No. 1 concern.)

Other interesting data also emerged from the poll. For Republican women living in New Hampshire, there is a so-called Iowa effect - pollsters found women there are more likely to switch candidates if the one they support does not do well in Iowa.

For Democrats it's a different story. The majority of New Hampshire Democrats will stay with the candidate they originally choose, despite his or her showing in Iowa.

Voters were asked which presidential candidates they trusted the most. For Republican women, Mike Huckabee came in first with 18 percent. Mitt Romney and John McCain were tied at 16 percent.

About 32 percent of Democratic women trusted Clinton, followed by Obama at 19 percent. Obama was seen by 25 percent as the candidate who most represents change. But Clinton was seen by 23 percent as a candidate of change.

The revelation of the Lifetime/Zogby poll is that women are going to be a huge factor not only for the caucuses and primaries but in the general election. Which is why Michelle Obama - mother, career woman and keeper of Obama's socks - is out on the trail so frequently pitching to women and why Clinton and Obama have formed women's groups.

Now we just have to get more women elected at all levels of government if we really want to make a difference. You go girls!

I'm beginning to think most Clinton supporters are woefully uneducated based largely on their support of HRC and also on their sentence construction here in these comments. If you can not get your point across correctly, I wouldn't put much weight in your opinion.

Obama is just a Cry Baby. He knows pretty well he does not have the experience required to lead a world power like the USA. Now he is gone into Scare Mongering. C'mon dude, talk issues. Is the sky falling over you yet? Run and hide under Oprah's skirt..!

Hilaary .. 08

Every time I listen to a Hillary Clinton supporter, I end up giving money to Obama, whether it's a dollar, ten dollars or one hundred.

Online credit card payments are so easy!

So, you know what Clinton supporters? Just keep talkin'.

Each and everyday Hillary gives us more reasons not to trust her as a Senator, not to trust her as a woman and not to trust her as our future President. That's just the way it is.

Mary San Antonio TX

I don't know what you're on or what planet your from. Cinton has not given us any reason whatsoever not to trust her. You can say what you want but we stand strong and united in our support for HILLARY. And, that's the way it is.

Obama is asking for money from "We the People" who support him instead of corporations and lobbyists. Yet, somehow Obama supporters are the sheep? That just goes to show you what a sad state of affairs our country is in.

Obama/Edwards '08

To my fellows DEMS, why do we have to wait to Obama to be ready in 4-8 years, instead of now.
Listen, he is young, fresh, NOT ON THE LOBBIESTS PAYROLL. If we wait, they will get to him, remember, everyone has a price. We need to get him in before he OWES them!!!!!!!
I am going to give it a try. All my voting life I have waited for a guy like this. I am tired of politics in our country, but this guy CAN and WILL brings us back on the right track. HRC is the same old tired washington politics!!!!!!!
OBAMA 2008! FOR THE LITTLE GUY
Oh, and I am white by the way.
PEACE OUT!!!!!

Here's a little ditty Janis Joplin would have probably been able to whip up

"Dear Oprah, won't you give me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Oprah, won't you give me a Mercedes Benz?"

"Obama, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialin' for Dollars to stop Hell-ary.
I wait for delivery each day until three, So Obama, won’t you buy me a color TV?"

Obama is running the most deceptive race of this campaign cycle. He will do and say anything in order to gain power.

Instead of giving money to a campagine that cannot win,use your money supportintg a candidate that doesnt need to be lead around by a tv talk show host and one that is working towards helping ALL CHILDREN!

Obama is involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin Tony Rezko. Obama also linked to an alleged influence peddling scandal and was nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law. In addition three political aides on Sen. Barack Obama’s payroll are registered lobbyists for dozens of corporations, including Wal-Mart, British Petroleum and Lockheed Martin, while they received payments from his campaign, according to public documents. The Oprah Winfrey endorsement might have generated a lot of press for Barack Obama, but not a lot of impress, particularly among younger women, a poll released wednesday shows a third said they were less likely to support the Illinois senator because of the Oprah support. Older women, over 65, also showed they were ruffled by Ms. Winfrey stepping "out of her pew," as the daytime diva herself described it. About 17 percent of older women said the endorsement made them less likely to support Mr. Obama.

There goes Obama again Whaa Whaa. Who cares! "We cannot trust this inexperienced rookie senator from Illinois" No Obama

Why are you Obama followers such sheep? He says something and you all jump like jack-rabbits. Just because Obama is having trouble trying to raise cash all he has to do is accuse his rivals of unfair play and you all just blindly believe him and start your usual ranting and raving. Check your own candidate in the mirror first.

CNN I love this blog! Thank you so much.

Obama's power is great, no doubt about it. But what strikes me as outstanding is Obama's ability to run a successful campaign by connecting directly with the people of this great nation and not depending on the money from special interests.

Obama keep up the great work and know that your Presidential support is deep and phenomenally growing thoroughout this nation of ours.

Mr. Obama, in a time that this country needs a leader who will stand firm in the face of adversity and take this country back to a place of prosperity, how do you feel that you are that man when in your own words you state, "I am perhaps more tolerant of compromise on the issues than my friend was," when speaking of a man active in civil rights efforts. As well as stating that this country needs less lawyers, ar eyou and your wife willing to give up your licenses in order to make good on yoru own words? After reading your book I am left with more questions than you have given answers too. This is why my vote is going to be cast for Senator Clinton she is a woman with a vision, a dream and a plan to make it happen.

I never donated to any candidates before until Obama came along. And yes, everytime Hillary attaks, I give $$ to Obama.

Obama08!

Obama can have my vote and my money too. He's worth every dollar that I contribute.

I just sent him another $50.

Sorry, Barak, you can't buy experience. Come back in 8 years. I'll campaign for you then.

Posted By Robyn, San Diego : December 20, 2007 8:40 pm

Yeah sure and Bush/Cheney had all the experience, and look america's economy is almost in the dog house..dont make the same mistake america vote for the mixed race candidate for real change, and an end to divisive politics obama 08!

Contribute to Joe Biden. He is by far the best of the candidates. Does anyone watch the debates? Why would you vote for the "top 3" when there is clearly a better choice? These two are empty shells.

Obama is he getting SCARED again or is it a way to play the underdog after the Obama-Oprah hoorah? Who needs cash? Obama the greatest cash raising machine known in the democratic circle beating Hillary on raising cash! Who are we kidding now with mailings in the last two weeks!!!

Go Hillary 08!

So Hillary voted "NV" 75 times in three months. Whatever dirt is out there HRC has her hand in it. She may have overlooked her records. Apologise again Hillary before they come for you.

Obama 08

I had the wonderful opportunity to personally meet Senator Obama and his wife on two occasions.

Can't truly explain why I feel so supportive of the senator, except to say "he is a real person. . .an articulate individual. . .a patriotic American. . .one who I would feel comfortable inviting to my home for dinner. He and his wife are 'real people,' and they care deeply about the future of our country.

Experience?? Yes. . .he has experience through his work as a community organizer, an Illinois senator and a U.S. senator.

We need a change. . . from Clinton/Bush/Bush/Clinton. PLEASE take the time to look at Senator Obama's credentials. He is as - or more - experienced than former President Clinton, our current president Bush and others.

OBAMA 08!! All the way!!

If you thought the "floating cross" in the Huckabee ad was a subliminal message, how about the word "hang" in this picture behind Barack? Are you trying to say something, CNN?

I can't believe people are bringing up Oprah's support as if it's similar in any way to 527 groups. An endorsement and appearance by Oprah doesn't involve the transfer of money, just as endorsements for Edwards by Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon as well as endorsements by Bill Clinton or Barbra Streisand don't involve money.

527 groups skirt campaign finance rules by operating outside of the campaigns and raising millions of dollars that aren't regulated. For example, the Swift Boat ads were run by a 527 group. I respect John Edwards, but it's kind of inconsistent with his message to allow 527 groups to run ads on his behalf. While they're perfectly legal, they're kind of on the ethics boundary and hopefully will be outlawed eventually.

She did not accomplish anything in her travels abroad, nor was she in a position to as first lady. She might have been "official", but to claim this as "experience" in foreign affairs is disingenuous. She met people. Lots of people have met these people. Obama is on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. I won't even go into the experience that Biden and Dodd have, even as I am claiming that is not the most important thing. If it is what she is running on, it isn't much.

I think it's quite funny that most of the Obama-bashers have grammar issues.

Candidates Like Clinton who had ZERO experience before they became US Senators do not understand anything about legislating at the State level.

Since you guys want to bring up issues, let's bring up issues.

Voters would have to choose between a candidate who votes present as part of an acceptable legislative strategy; a candidate who authorized the Iraq war, hid funds in the Cayman Isalnds and received donations from corrupt sources' AND a candidate who authorized the war in Iraq, got every important Senate vote wrong and allegedly fathered a love child.

Take you pick and live with the consequences.

Please reflect on the following quotes:

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

— Abraham Lincoln

"The forbearing use of power does not only form a touchstone; but the manner in which an individual enjoys certain advantages over others is a test of a true gentleman. The power which the strong have over the weak, the magistrate over the employed, the educated over the unlettered, the experienced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly; the forbearing and inoffensive use of all this power and authority, or the total abstinence from it, when the case admits it, will show the gentleman in a plain light. The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He can only forgive; he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which imparts sufficient strength to let the past be put the past."

— General Robert E. Lee

Obama is a true gentleman. Believe that there are a lot of nasty things out there Hilary clinton can be attacked on. Yet, Obama true to his character has chosen to take the higher moral ground instead of wrestling in the mud with Hilary. he has the ability and power to call Bill and Hilary Clinton character into question –and rightly so– but he chose not to. Now, tell me that this is not some extraordinary display of restrain. By using racial and religious prejudice to attack a gentleman requesting nothing but the honor to save his country, Hilary demonstrates that she is beneath the dignity of the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America.

it's time to bring leadership with character, dignity, and honor back to the White House. Hilary and Bill's history demonstrate that they are not in a position to deliver on this.

So, Obama... Oprah isn't a special interest? Get off your soapbox and quit talking smack - you're far more guilty of shady politics. There's nothing lower than using celebrity to sway voter opinion.

Sorry, Barak, you can't buy experience. Come back in 8 years. I'll campaign for you then.

The Hillary supports who reek with anti-Obama being a cry-baby and unelectable: See you January 3rd!
I've had to look at the smirk on w's face for seven years- I don't plan on seeing your team smirk January 3rd!
Obama beats the gop WAY better than HRC- and that's what we need!
Because a person doesn't have Washington Beltway Politician imprinted on his (or her) forehead is a POSITIVE thing!
OBAMA 08!

I will say it right now, if some of my fellow Democrats are dumb enough to nominate Hillary, we deserve to lose. Gee, we could pick a candidate that Independents would fall in love with. Instead, some want to nominate a candidate that would be one of the most divisive Presidential candidates in history (that's Hillary for all of you that haven't been paying attention).

Oh well, if Hillary is nominated, I'm going Independent.

iowans please lets change the way washington does business, lets take our country back,and save this great land for our children, vote for the mixed race guy!

I wouldn't contribute 2 cents to this losers campaign.

He is not running scared, he is running a campaign with no outside funding. Duh!

Where do you think he would get the money to respond to the negative and some attacks that are downright lies?

CNN Why is my comment waiting over an hour. Is it because it supports Obama?

OK.....so how do you plan to spin the information that lobbyists from WalMart, British Petroleum and Lockheed Martin all had paid positions on your campaign staff? And no crap about "...I didn't know...."

Mr.Obama, I supported you right at the get go until Oprah came into the picture. Oprah and your wife overpowered you and made you look like a freshman in college. It makes me wonder from that day if you're really prepared for the job. Our country desperately needs someone with experiences to tackle the crisis that we are facing...trillions of dollars in deficit, less allies and more ennemies in the world, the middle class americans are suffering of high rise cost of living and much more...
You're a very likeable and inspirational candidate but may be not now...may be nine years from now??? Our country can not afford to train another president.

Obama voted “present” — instead of yes or no — almost 130 times.
I know a lot of people have a problem with Hillary but this is not good for Obama. And not a word from the MSM.

http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/clintons-hill-helpers-bash-obama-over-present-votes-2007-12-20.html

Real CHANGE is not scary its comforting
Go Obama! Lets make the USA a country of the people, by the people and for the people.

Not for CORPORATE Demos/Republicans
i.e. Clintons & others

WOW, Obama, wait a moment. Among all candidates, you are the top candidate on spending $$$$ on TV ads. The report was in just a few says ago.

I have to give Obama another credit.
Obama complain Hillary campaign mentioned his drug issue. Well, Mr, You talked the drug issue in your book yourself; You talked about the issue during the campaig to 13-14 year old kids, and you were not asked for, You are still talking about the issue the other day on your fundraising. You really want voters forget about it, or you actually profit from it ? Right, you are good at this, DRUG=POLLS

Obama is running scared! most of his caucas goers are young people.. who will not turn out, Hillary Clinton on the other hand has nothing to worry about.

Sounds like he's running scared!

Cha-Ching. I just donated to Barack Obama.

http://www.barackobama.com

To quote from an NY Times article today on Hillary's new attack tactic, by highlighting Barack's present votes in the Illinois state senate:

"The record has become an issue on the presidential campaign trail, as Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, his chief rival for the Democratic nomination, has seized on the present votes he cast on a series of anti-abortion bills to portray Mr. Obama as a “talker” rather than a “doer.”

It should be noted that Hillary has used a similiar tactic in the Senate called 'NV' or 'No Vote' in on a variety of topics including funding for abortions, the war in Iraq, and improving women’s access to health care in rural areas, temporary tax relief, to name a few.

According to the Washington Post’s Votes Database, between the period of Sept-Dec. of 2007, she was registered as a NV 75 times. This is within three months!!! I find it interesting that she is trying to portray Barack in a negative light when she has used this SAME tactic in the US Senate.

Barack's 130 PRESENT votes (out of 4,000 votes I might add) in EIGHT YEARS does not compare to HRC's 75 NVs IN THREE MONTHS.

Her attacks on these grounds are duplicitous and mind-boggling, because they will only turn attention to her own ‘NVs.’

Are you sure you want to go this way, Hillary?

Oh poor baby, Obama, he's getting picked on now!!! *sits and pouts* Please send me some money now so I can defend myself, please!!!!

Obama is PATHETIC!!! He has based Hillary Clinton personally for months and now some dirt is coming out on him. Think REZKO and we will have even more dirt to talk about!!! If God forbid he becomes the nominee, the Republcans will surely bring up REZKO and his suspicious dealings with Obama for sure!

Stop giving money to the campaigns!! It's a waste of money. They get an obscene amount of your money and waste it on attack ads. It's out of hand.

This isn't really news, is it? Obama has requested donations from his supporters, including myself, on several occasions following attacks from Hillary. He has raised more money from private citizens, I believe, than anyone else in this race. That's why he'll win.

Are people going to fall for that again? What a cry baby! So people are pouring millions into promoting Hillary and her agenda? Obama has Oprah trying to buy his presidency with her billions. Now that his star is sinking and Hillary's is rising, expect more "Poor me; Hillary's saying bad things about me." It's time for Obama to grow up, state his positions clearly, and stop whining,

"...new kind of campaign — funded by ordinary people..."

Ordinary people? As opposed to the freaks of nature who spend millions on his and all other candidates? He's digging deep in the barrel now.

It is a kettle calling a pot black. Last week I looked at Obama's contributors, he was accepting lots of money from special interst groups.

Remember that he was the first person including his wife who started the negative campaigns a few months ago, and recently in push polls.

We cannot trust this inexperienced rookie senator from Illinois.

And of course the other two candidates are not receiving similar treatment from his supporters. What a hypocrite, and of course CNN won't call him on it.

I guess neither Edwards nor Clinton can respond, lest they be accused of "attacking" Obama.

I know Clinton has 527 groups attacking Obama with distortions and lies, but does Edwards have such groups?

Can we get a list of 527 groups and who they are supporting?

I will not vote for a democratic candidate with a 527 group working against another democratic candidate.

I have never given money to a politician before...until now! I just gave Obama $50. I can't imagine the frustration of having to fight the big money smear advertising. It is especially difficult when you are fighting special interest groups and union money oh, and the Chinese. I don't know if I can give more but I will give up something to get this great leader some additional funds. I am very proud of the way he raises money and still maintains a clean race. Clinton's money comes from people who will want to be paid back if she is elected and we will all pay the price for that. I do not want a president who is bought and paid for.
