The reason is obvious: The outcome of the US presidential election has consequences for the rest of the world - as your nation is among the most influential and powerful ones on the globe. I saw the image of the USA step-by-step deterior after 9/11. I don´t understand the stubborn political approach towards Iraq. The gap between the poor and the rich seems to get wider and wider, and a "green conciousness" in terms of resources and nature still seems to be a hobby for well-educated DINKs. What I hope for is Change. Although this word seems to be attached to the Obama team I believe that every democratic candidate could represent change - most likely not to the same extend, but change nonetheless. I hope that there will be a change in Amercan politics next year, because your nation always inspired dreams of better life - and you can resume to be this source of inspiration again. I´ll keep watching your campaign and election process.... Daniela As a European from Germany I´m truly interested in the presidential election campaigns in the US.

His roll might extend into the larger states. I have a feeling though it will be a lot tougher in California, Florida and especially New York to run against Hillary.

I guess millions of stupid fat people do. People can't you think for yourselves??? you need Oprah to tell you how to live your life? please wake up, exercise, lose some weight and look at how the rest of the civilized world is leaving their lives. America is heading in the wrong direction at the speed of life. people live their lives stuck to their television sets and allow the television and media to dictate their lives. Oprah is an idiot who forgot how hard it was for a woman to get to the power. I have no respect for her anylonger since she turned her back on Hillary. she should have sided with the women. but she is such a typical stupid woman, she sides with the men, typical women. instead of us smart women to unite together and be strong and unite against the hurt we got from men, we turn against each other and kiss us the guys who hurt us. or maybe Oprah couldn't stand the fact that there might be a woman out there more powerful than she is. I have no respect for Oprah what's so ever. she is an big time idiot. Obama stole all Hillary ideas and now he is turning into a major jerk. let's not forget that he put her down on national television many times. I don't like him and I don’t trust him. Hillary will make one good president, but I guess this country is way behind the rest of the world to allow a woman to lead. This country is pretty sexist so I am not surprised you will vote for a black guy who is inexperienced rather than vote for a perfectly good experienced candidate who is a woman. Well, I think you guys are making a big mistake for voting for Obama. On the day when you will have to vote for your president, the majority of people will vote for the white republican guy, and hence one more time there will be 8 years of long recession and republican, conservative and narrow-minded era. wake up and smell the coffee and vote for the right candidate who can bring the country back to the glory days of Clinton when the economy was booming and things were good. and one more thing, so what Bill cheated on Hilary, how many men out there cheat on their wives on daily basis? or how many physically abuse their wives? please wake up to reality. what's worse cheating on your wife or abusing her physically or emotionally??? please there is at least one case of abuse in every single relationship in this country. but how do you go on with your relationships?? you forgive and learn and go on, because you need each other for different reasons, money, children etc. so think straight before you vote for the wrong candidate just because stupid Oprah said so. Oprah please.. I have no respect for her what's so ever and I am a smart engineer and very educated and well traveled woman. but I know how this world turns and I hate to see smart women turning against themselves just because of jealousy. shame on Oprah. have no respect for her. who cares about Oprah?

Why? Let's get serious! I am in shock to see Iowa and New Hampshire citizens think this country is better off in the hands of a candidate who has little to no experience with making changes for this country and says nothing about how he thinks he is going to make any changes. He keeps talking about this country's need for change but doesn't seem to have any comments on what change or changes he's talking about. To vague for my thoughts about change. The young are all excited when they talk about Barack Obama but they don't talk about what kind of changes Obama is promising them that their getting excited about. I guess it's good enough to just say the word change to excite the young at heart. I say that's not good enough for me. I say this country does need a big change and the best person for that job is someone tried and true. Someone who can really make a difference someone with experience to make changes, someone not afraid to make changes, someone who doesn't just talk about change but has a real vision and plan about change. This country is in serious trouble - This is not the time to play babe's in toy land. Let's get serious, let's get real, vote Hillary Rodham Clinton - She really can make the difference. GET SERIOUS NOW BEFORE IT'S TO LATE. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE IN 2008 AS THIS COUNTRY MADE IN 2000 AND 2004. SAY NO TO PROMISES SAY YES TO TRIED AND TRUE! OUR COUNTRY BECAME GREAT ON THE TRIED AND TRUE. PRESIDENTIAL RACE 2008

I'm not one for caring about what Republicans think on anything, but I really don't want to spend the next four years listening to them bash her. The truth is Republicans want Hilary to win because they think they can beat her. We cannot allow them to have what they want. Obama is what our country needs now more than ever. If we elect Obama it would send a clear message across the world that Americans are as fed up with our Government as they are. The days of cowboy diplomacy is over. Obama can and will bring our country back together again. Not pitting Red states against Blue states, but once again making us the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

I'm starting to wonder how gullable our people really are, and if we're past the point of no return in terms of common sense. All of these polls are ridiculous. It doesn't matter who votes in the elections, but what really matters is who counts the votes. We've all seen what happened in OH and FL during the last election. We all witnessed electronic voting fraud, and the evidence is there for you to see for yourself. Feel free to search it on Youtube. Just remember that their is no difference between 99% of the candidates in terms of Democrate or Republican, and that they are all working for the international bankers, and private corporations (the same ones who own the Federal Reserve Bank). We are in a nation that keeps barrowing money from the Fed to pay for wars and other special interest projects, and we're paying for these things by printing more money. Why do you think we're experienceing hyperinflation right now? If you keep printing money then you devalue the money at the same time. That's why each one of us in the middle and lower classes is pyaing more and more for the same goods each year. The squeeze is for real. I'm not going to tell you that Ron Paul is the only one you can vote for, but please research his message. He makes excellent points on monetary policy, foriegn policy, and wants to restore our freedoms and liberties. He will reverse the Patriot Act, the Military Commission Act, and all the other Acts that Bush has installed to strip us of our freedoms. Next topic....take away our guns, regulate the internet to control free speach, and slowly we're transitioning from employees to slaves. I pray for all of us that we stand up and stop the elitist from slowly but surely creating a North American Union, and finally to a one world government. Think of it this way....is there anything good that comes from a Monopoly? You end up losing competitoin which lowers costs,and increases the amount of services and amenities we recieve (or have to CHOOSE from). Vote Ron Paul in 2008. Save our country and our constitution!

I like Obama very much but belive it not republicans want him to come at first place so that they can again use there dirty tricks and win.therefore think before you vote just don't ride the change wave and get nowhere. Young voter need to be more careful, otherwise we will have repeat of 2004 results linda hemmingsen

Like it or not, nothing succeeds like success, and wins in these early contests cause HUGE shifts in political tides. In 2004 when John Kerry beat Howard Dean in the Iowa caucuses it cause the total collapse of then front-runner Howard Dean's campaign, and launched Kerry, something of a collapsed second-tier candidate at the time, into the nomination. You're also fully incorrect about McCain beating Bush in Iowa in 2000. McCain skipped the Iowa caucuses in that year to campaign in New Hampshire, and the result of his win there catapulted him ahead of Steve Forbes and made him a major competitor in numerous other states. This is significant because McCain was a huge underdog. After winning New Hampshire he was a mortal threat to the Bush candidacy.

The simple act of putting a democrat in office with a democrat congress will account for the overwhelming majority of any change that will take place during a democratic presidency.

I don't believe that Mrs. Clinton would do that. People have to realize that just because she was married to Bill doesn't mean that she is Bill Clinton. It's true that Bill Clinton was a decent president, but Hilaary will divide the country more than ever. We need someone who can bring us together. I'm looking forward to SUper Tuesday when Obama will win. Remember "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.

The over fifty crowd is solidly for Hillary - they say. But then again, - according to CNN she and Obama were to win Iowa. I otoh knew instinctively that Edwards would come in either first or second. We have issues that are not being confronted by the entrenched politicians - Obama and Hillary. I think Edwards will get rid of the paid lobbyists who are really running America into the ground. It takes a lot more than "hope" and talking about "hope" to get things accomplished. John Edwards does get things accomplished. And he will continue to accomplish great things as president. If I really thought anyone could straighten out the mess we are in, I'd put my money on John Edwards. Unfortunately...we are on a downhill slide, and I fear no-one can undo Bush's mess.

Besides the ‘one’ election she won in New York, what other office has she been elected to? Being an assistant to a former President makes her the most experienced? The same President that was impeached. Do the people forget all the monthly scandals during the (Bill) Clinton Presidency?

She will be able to start making the major changes a whole lot faster than Obama could ever think of. His lack of experience, and not really knowing how Washington works, he is totally wrong if he thinks that he will be able to make any changes really fast. Obama, I believe that he thinks that he is the next "Martin Luther"! He is so wrong for becoming President for so many reasons. The major lack of experience will be the down fall if he gets the nomination. Please people, WAKE-UP AND LET US BRING HILARY INTO THE WHITEHOUSE!

The good-old-boys (and girls) type of politics is OVER. Barack Obama beats all Republican contenders in the polls. All the HRC supporters need to get on board and let's bring America back! I'm so tired of reading comments from the Hillary supporters that she is the only candidate who can win in November. A friend of mine sent a fake headline this morning that said Deanna Favre was going to start for the Packers in the playoffs because she's been married to Brett for the 16 years he's been a quarterback. Hillary was the First Lady of the Country- her HUSBAND was President. He has the credentials- she DOESN'T! The analogy was perfect- Obama 08!

She will get down and act like a street fighter but that is an image that Americans shouldn't want projected throughout the world.
