CNN

Where is your coverage of John Edwards or Ron Paul? Why so much coverage on Rudy Giuliani when had such poor showings in the primaries so far? This is not just a contest between Hillary and Obama, which by the way would not change much in Washington.

Please tell these Ballot Bowl reporters to stop comparing registered hispanic voters in Las Vegas and whether having spanish language in the Obama and Clinton camps as a negative to South Carolina's Illegal Immigration issue's…and whether or not it will hurt Obama and Clinton in South Carolina.
Can this get anymore rediculous?

On the subject of illegal immagration many of the canidates have stated they should go back to their country and get at the back of the line. I agree that what they did was against the law but in reality what would the cost be to forcefully send them back? Also, if they are entitled to the our legal system how long could that delay the process of sending them back?

Where is the Ron Paul Video????

Is CNN Biased too? where are the other candidates?

First of all, no candidate should be excluded. America was built on bold ideas and the electorate should hear as many as possible.

Second, all of the candidates are liars as they speak of what they will do as President, including Ron Paul. He should know better since, according to the Constitution, the Executive has NO POWER to enact these things; that's Congress's responsibility. He can approve or veto and even suggest, but that's it.

Third, I'm Mormon and I WON'T vote for Romney. The LDS believe the Constitution to be as sacred as Scripture, and Romney only knows how to use it when it's convenient, such as blantantly opposing gun rights (It's a collective right? Then is Free Speech a collective right, too? How about only being able to worship collectively? Or collectively quartering in our homes? Get real and read the Constitution!) as Governor and then being an avid gun owner when he needed to break out of his Blue image.

Fourth, we need to be actually attending our Civics classes and participating and learning. The Congress voted for War. They're the only ones who can stop the war, too, via a treaty. They KNEW that the Bush Admin intended to topple the then current Iraqi (and Afghani) government(s), so there'd be no legitimate government with which to sign said treaty.

So, are they all stupid and incompetent? If so, they shouldn't have their jobs. If not, then they are equally complicit and derelict in their duties and equally deserving of being impeached/removed from office. Or even more justified, tried for treason for gross unConstitutional violation of their oath of office.

Ron Paul raises the level of debate in this election. He was the candidate who introduced the much-needed issue of "blowback" to the debate.

If you really are an independent, and are tired of the same old superficial silliness that passes for "debate"–check out Ron Paul on google and youtube. Ron Paul knows the issues and talks specifically about them. And he ties them all together with real, consistent principle.

I agree with Will in VA. Maybe the reason they haven't posted any Ron Paul clips is that there are more Ron Paul clips on youtube.com than probably all the other candidates combined!

I want real change–respect for the Constitution and respect for individual people. I'm voting for Ron Paul today in NH.

Big media think they have the right to set the terms of political debate in this country. But nothing can stop our growing coalition for peace, prosperity and freedom!

Join me and the many thousands of others who are voting for Ron Paul in 2008!

Where is Ron Paul?

It is amazing how during the actual ticker I have to CTRL+F Ron Paul to find any mention of him. However most of the comments left are about Ron Paul.

CNN and Fox, do you not see what most of your internet viewers want?

VOTE FOR RON PAUL 2008.
Ron Paul, Fix America!

FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE!!!!!!!!!! EXTRA EXTRA

INDEPENDENTS IN IOWA WHO VOTED FOR OBAMA ARE ACTUALLY REPUBLICANS WHO SWITCH TO INDEPENDENTS BEFORE THE CAUCUS. SO AS NOT TO BE DETECTED..... THIS WAS DONE UNDER THE TABLE BY THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY TO ENSURE THAT CLINTON WONT WIN THE PRIMARIES
AND THEREFORE AVOIDING THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE...CLINTON AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS. HA HA !!!!! OBAMA IS A FAR MORE BEATABLE OPPONENT THAN CLINTON. Scary stuff...examine your surroundings folks....

The commander-in- chief should not be seen crying in public.How could he/she react in the face of a tsunami,sept.,11 or katrina?The president of America is the president of the world and getting emotional in public will not go down well with citizens of the world.A vote for Clinton is a vote for emotions,we don't need!GO OBAMA!

Didn't McCain get the memo in 2000

ok... so McCain always seems like he is going to slump over and die,
Romney seems to have the right energy to take this position

Ignoring Ron Paul's campaign will not make it conveniently go away. His views must seriously threaten the "free and unbiased" bureaucratic press or his views wouldn't be so uniformly silenced. It is obviously not in the media's best economic interest to allow the american public to be influenced by Dr. Ron Paul. Just how far will the news demogogues go to subvert the electorial process by promoting only candidates they deem worthy of coverage? Perhaps we should just do away with free elections and let the press appoint the next president. They, like the federal government, seem to know what is best for us humble american citizens. Who needs to hear about adhering to Constitutional rights and freedoms?

CNN needs to cover ALL of the candidates, not just the front runners. Google "Ron Paul" and read about a candidate that would sweep the elections if he received the amount of media coverage that Obama or Romney get. Wake up America, the media is very very biased.

There is only one candidate that voted against the Iraq war. There is only one candidate that voted against the Patriot Act. There is only one candidate who will put an end to our involvement in NAFTA and the WTO and bring jobs back to the American people. There is only one candidate who believes in the Constitutional rights of the people, and a government of the people by the people, not for big business by big business. There is only one candidate who is not owned by big business and will not accept money from them. There is only one candidate who wants medical insurance for all Americans. And that one candidate is Dennis Kucinich and these are the real reasons he was not invited to the New Hampshire debates and given very little time to speak in the debates he has been in. He is the only candidate that is truly for the people and not big business. Vote Dennis Kucinich and return this nation to the greatness it once was. Dennis all the way!

Where is Ron Paul? RON PAUL 2008!

Not including the opinion of Ron Paul in this list is either a unprofessional oversight or pure election rigging. I don't even live in the U.S. but your foreign policies impact me and Ron Paul wants to leave Iraq (as do most Australians). It is obvious that Ron Paul has had a major impact on voters who do get to hear him speak. He is obviously a popular and unique candidate judging by the record-breaking amounts of public donations he has raised. If nothing else he is newsworthy and entertaining. So why do Fox (and now CNN) act like he doesn't exist? Why won't they publish his opinions in full? Why is the media afraid to represent the candidates equally? Why is the media deciding the next president instead of the people?

Ron Paul says he'll give the U.S. a free market and no regulation. That means CNN and FOX can grow without government interference in media ownership. These media empires should be happy! If they're going to be biased, why not towards Ron Paul? I don't understand what is going on but it smells like fish and it's starting to stink!

Come on CNN... Where is Ron Paul in the list. There is a storm coming in this country, and hopefully soon. We're going to make every corporate executive work in a sweatshop... overseas in asia somewhere, where they sent the rest of America's jobs... Ron Paul is the best candidate by far, and becuase he represents all that the status quo doesn't want to accept. We need to get rid of the Federal Reserve... A bunch of cigar smoking bankers, with accountability to nobody, controlling the financial future of the entire country for their own profit! Americans have become so blind... and they live in a media matrix. Americans have now learned only how to believe, and forgotten how to think.

I would love to hear someone other than John McCain talk about going after and getting Osama Bin Laden. John McCain seems like he is the only one that has not forgotten those men and women serving overseas fighting and dying to protect us. Any candidate that wants to go after Osama Bin Laden is the leader I want for President.

Dear Bruce, Glad to get your attention and thank you for reading. Next step is please keep up the good spirit in reading on about Obama and do undertand the Clinton machine is inclusive of people since 1965 (as you say) in the white house.

No need to remove hats and lets keep our hats on for the voting day.

Vote Obama and God bless!

McCain has way to many skeletons in his closet and constantly reminds us about his war experience. I respect his service to this great nation, I too am a vietnam vet but as a presidential hopeful he needs alot more that that.
From taxes to immigration i dont trust McCain.. he spends way to much time with kennedy. Cronyisism at its best. a real insider.. In the Nevada primary I will reject him n Huckster too... One Harry Reid is enough...

Vote Romney...

Obama supporters and everyone:

Check out this very moving video that changed my mind about Obama

Interesting how, even as our country declines in an abyss of bureaucracy, runaway spending, undeclared wars, and government intrusion, that so many Americans still want big government solutions. It is sad to see in the debates that the Republican candidates bristle and get annoyed at Ron Paul for mentioning the United States Constitution, rolling their eyes and making funny faces as though HE is the radical. How far our leaders (and our citizens) have detoured from the values of liberty and small government and the ideals that people are always smarter and better equipped to solve problems than bureaucracy. I hope we wake up soon.

Ron Paul: The last sane Republican

I vote for Dr. Ron Paul , because he seems to be the only candidate " THAT CAN READ THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.

Conrad,

You obviously have gotten sucked into the bogus media hype about this election. In case you haven't noticed there is still a long way to go and many interesting things will happen to surprise/shock you. Stay tuned...

Thanks God for the 1st amendment which suffered its greatest blow from the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002.

Obama-Clinton 08: Change with Experience

A call to Americans to be better, rise higher and be a world leader is more than hopeful – it is critical to the future of the globe. Diplomacy and high achievement by the greatest superpower is mandatory. The US needs to rise above it's need to be a world beater and become a world builder. Obama represents the first time a politician has shown some guts since Regan. Educate more, reward the overachiever, heal the sick, empower the middle class...stop dumping Billions into hostility and move millions into "buying" support – through health and education. Educated, healthy friends of the US will support strong future economic growth and profound national security.

Hilary is the old guard...her "change" IS the staus quo – same old regime for 16 years. Edwards...won't beat Obama since he slid into the mud with Hilary. Rally behind hope, rally behind the future. The past has passed.

FOLKS, LETS GET REAL WHEN THE DEMS.&REPS. ARE ALL DONE, THE DEMS. WILL HAVE OBAMA/EDWARDS vs HUCABEE/McCAINE & THE DEMS. WILL WIN IN A LANDSLIDE VICTORY...CHANGE IS IN THE AIR...GOD BLESS AMERICA

Would you vote for Hillary if she wasn't riding the coattails of her husband? Alot of people feel obligated to vote for Hillary because Bill was so well liked. Funny thing is – I was leaning towards Hillary before she and her camp decided to try and blast the other candidates (Obama and Edwards) on a personal level. Doesnt that seem a little desperate? It sure turned me off. Now I have to decide between Obama and Edwards.

I am still pulling for Duncan Hunter- despite being ousted by FOX and ABC – He came in third in WY! Go Hunter

As I read these comments I am dismayed at the ignorance several of them show. From your comments it is plain that some of you people are simply to stupid to be voting. Two quick examples out of dozens I might cite.

Hey, "Obama Cheated": To begin, the Do Not Call List specifically exempts Political Candidates; and lastly, it isn't a STATE Law it is Federal. Please surrender your voter registration card.

Hey, "Laz": Hillary had 35 years with Bill in office? REALLY? That would put him in office continuously since 1965? They got married in 1975, so were they shacking up for 10 years? Please surrender your aluminum foil hat.

As pointed out why does know one talk about Obama's religion? He was at an extremist Muslim school but know one seems to knoqw, why? But Romney's religion is all over the place.

I feel most of the canidates are talking about experience and how much of this they have .Our so called president was suppose to have all of this experience and the best part is that his father was the president also. And none of their experience has gotten us no where so people need to stop with I have this and I have that it don't matter. Our presidents experience has gotten us in a lot of mess. We need some thing different and that is Obama. He is the only one that I have seen where he wants to do something different than waht has been going on in the White House and that is nothing but a bunch of crap!

Obama/Edwards 2008 equals same result as Kerry/Edwards 2004!!

Flip-flopping is the same, but then you add in the fact of little experience and no action what do you think will happen!! If McCain or Rommney get the Republican nomination and Obama gets the Democrat nomination we will have another Republican sworn in, in a little over a year!!

OBAMA CAN TALK A GOOD GAME, I WANT TO SEE ACTION!! HE HAS HAD TWO YEARS WHERE HE COULD HAVE SHOWN THIS "CHANGE", SO WHERE IS IT!?

A FEW EXAMPLES:

Saying Clinton made mistake by voting on Iran Revolutionary Guard....Obama didn't vote!!

Clinton already put through a plan for universal health care, but Obama has just talked about it!! Someone should tell Senator Obama that while in the Senate he can submit bills to make universal health care available to the American people (THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DOESN'T HAVE SOLE CONTROL OVER THIS)!!

Obama has talked about bringing people from the other side into his office (i.e. working with Republicans). I remember seeing this from HRC during the 90's, most notable with the healthcare issue. I have never seen Obama work with any Republican to get a bill introduced!!

JUST REMEMBER THESE TWO THINGS WHEN YOU VOTE!!

CLINTON STANDS FOR CHANGE THROUGH ACTION....OBAMA ONLY STANDS FOR TALKIGN ABOUT CHANGE!! SO WHERE DO YOU EXPECT THE REAL CHANGE TO COME FROM????

ALSO REMEMBER THAT IN THE 90'S IT TOOK A CLINTON TO CLEAN UP AFTER A BUSH....I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER ONE THIS TIME!!

Why isn't Ron Paul on that list?

Dear Isaac,

Clinton era with Bill was fortunately the 'bull' era for the economies of scale thats led to not only posotive Americans financial markets but global markets as well. So we can commend Bill for the budget surplus efforts and but also tribute to a positive financial times globally.

I rememeber 9/11 as Bush celebrates his victory in Florida, I wondered why Bill did not make border security and national threat a top concern after being provided facts on the actual intelligence. We could have avoided the threat and save lives.

Recession is the Clinton diversion from the real issues and I am quite certain that once we stop the war spending then we can correct inflation positively. Seriuosly, Hillary is not going to solve the 'recesession' she claims when she supports the Bush war plans in the middle east.

Hillary flip-flops and should focus on current issues that can help prevent future threats and stand against the Bush doctrine.

Vote for Obama and we will end the war, bring home our fellow soldiers, focus on American leadership, tackle extremism with allies based on global efforts, secure our borders, divert spending towards health care, education and alternative energy no more war spendings.

I thank you Isaac for your comment and I hope the explanantion helps.

BALLOT BOWL?!

Can you commercialize this thing any more, CNN?

Why don't you fill up your Ticker with corporate logos and fancy banner games?

You know what I'd really like to see on this article is a shoot-the-ducks game and an ad for a dating site.

I mean, if you're going to call it a "bowl", why not have some cheerleaders dancing??!?!?! That's very informative.

In the meantime, I'll spend all my time looking at the CSPAN ticker...

O' Chris you sound like the two boso's should get the congressional metal of honor right???? Come on both should be serving time behind bars

Hillary is our Choice...

Hillary will be the come back girl as we arrive at Super Tuesday. she has the experience to take us out of recession and bring our Troop home. This is no time for a rookie in the white house. The stake are too high guysssss...Let get serious...We are not playing...

Vote for Barack Obama!

It would do Hillary good to support Barack as the Dems. nominee and win the white house bid for the good of the party.

The republicans are just excited and hoping to have Hillary win as she's got a long list of poor conduct starting with the spoils of watergate to her insincere influence in special interest grous & lobbyists.

Bill Clinton will only bring negative sentiments to her campaign and should avoid participating in the campiagn. Although a good man he is but his mistakes haunts both the voters and the white house.

Vote for Barack Obama and I urge all Hillary supporters to read the hidden facts and look at what wisdom can do for our country – wisdom is a gift from God!.

Vote for Barack Obama and we will have a fresh start in regaining respect, leadership and unite the divided country & world.

Vote for Barack Obama and we will see the changes that we so ever long for and we shall once again believe in the American dream – read the Obama plans in the white house and his objectives.

Barack Obama is not only a candidate for real positive change but a condidate that stands for the unspoken for and he stands for the opressed.

God bless Barack Obama and God speed the American Dream.

I vote for Barack Obama for better quality of life and security for all Americans in this world.

I vote Barack Obama for the policies he brings towards wonderful future for my family.

Barack Obama is the 'one' who will propel success for the next generation of Americans in this global economy and securing American future into the next millenium.

Barack Obama will bring unity to the United States Of America, people of all states, race and religion to be the first of his multi-ntaional states to foster peace and prosperity for the rest of the world to learn from.

Americans wants real positive change and to once again to trust an individual who can walk the talk, Barack Obama is the one individual.

People from Asia, UK and Africa are very excited about Barack Obama especially about his political experience, strenght in policies, agenda in the white house and more importantly about America a friendly leader of the world.

I was in doubt of Barack intitally and I spend an enormous time identifying the facts about each candidate – Hillary, Obama and Edwards.

Based on my own personal research and combining with 30 other researching voters who are in doubt, we together identified – Barack Obama as the next best President what America needs to meet the new challenges and set new priorites for the American people.

Vote for Barack Obama and you are voting for your children and for a better future for all Americans.

We all know Rudy’s stance on books. When Ron Paul stood up to him and explained that 9/11 did not occur in a vacuum, but rather the attacks were a reaction to failed American policy, Giuliani (the mayor of New York on 9/11) was astonished. "I don't think I have ever heard that before and I have heard some pretty absurd explanations for September 11th." So like any respectable debater, Paul gave Rudy a reading list, which vindicated his argument. This list including the 9/11 Commission Report and a book by the former head of the CIA’s bin Laden Unit, Michael Scheuer. Unfortunately Paul doesn’t understand the mind of Rudy. The books he assigned were filled with big words, no pictures, and rational arguments – virtually assuring that the former mayor (during 9/11) would not look at them.

Given that Giuliani (who was mayor during 9/11) hasn’t dropped out of the race and apologized to the American public, one can only assume that he hasn’t been doing his reading. So I have a solution. Giuliani should see the new film, Charlie Wilson’s War. Though based on a book written for adults, the film contains few sentences, making it an apt choice for the former mayor.

The story follows Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson’s crusade to supply Afghani militants (mujahideen) in their fight against the Red Army. Almost a billion dollars of sniper rifles, bullets, machine guns, rocket launchers, antiaircraft guns, grenades, surface to air missiles, and an array of mines were given to these fanatics. The logistics and politics of Operation Cyclone is the topic of this film, adopted by Aaron Sorkin. Witty dialogue and outrageous characters make this a madcap adventure into the dark world of politics, complete with Mossad agents, strippers, and evangelicals.

While one can read about blowback and the devastating consequences of clandestine intervention, seeing the deeds done hits viscerally. It seems, as Bismarck said, that to retain our appetite for sausages and foreign policy, one ought not see them made. But this is what we want. Americans should be disgusted with the fact that we helped arm Muslim extremists – that their tax dollars were given to terrorists and murderers. What Charlie Wilson’s War does is unflinchingly expose the American people to the corruption and danger of our world-policing foreign policy.

Those familiar with Congressman Ron Paul and his philosophy of nonintervention will see Charlie Wilson as his antipode. Whereas Paul stresses staying out of the internal affairs of foreign nations, Wilson dedicates himself to the proposition that everything is the business of America. He, like Rudy Giuliani, clearly had never heard of blowback – the concept that our actions can have unforeseen implications.

In the polarized world of Wilson, there is only Good and Evil. At the time, Communist Russia was the Devil himself and had to be stopped at all costs…even if it meant sending weapons to bin Laden’s friends – the future Taliban. And while there was no explicit mention of bin Laden, there doesn’t need to be. Whether we armed bin Laden is irrelevant. The movie makes it clear that we allied ourselves with religious zealots, including Gulbuddin Hekmatyar (who is now listed as a terrorist). Even if we didn’t directly fund or train him, did we not support his cause? Were these rebels not labeled "freedom fighters"?

A powerful illustration of this flip-flopping comes when some powerful Congressman goes to the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan to chant, "God is Great" in Arabic. Imagine doing that today! And this is exactly what Ron Paul is decrying. He understands that the world is complex and changing, filled not with monoliths but nuance. He is too humble to profess to mete out perfect justice.

Eventually Wilson gets it. So does he seek to rectify the situation by eschewing future intervention? Nope. The solution is more money – this time to build schools and infrastructure. Afghanistan was to become the 51st state, for America to rule and westernize. If the medicine isn’t working, reasons Wilson, the only answer is a higher dosage

Contrast this view with that of Dr. Paul. Just as the Soviets of yesteryear were the boogeyman, today Islamofascism is. And just as some said we needed to accept totalitarianism at home to fight the Red Menace abroad, so too today do we have the neocons who sound the clarion call against the archaic notion of rights and liberty.

But Paul says we need to understand blowback. We need to understand our enemy if we ever hope to protect ourselves. Our war against the Soviets created unintended consequences. Who knows what the War on Terror will create. Unless there is a direct threat against America and the retribution is targeted and declared, all intervention must necessarily be deemed unwise and intrusive.

Far from an archaic relic, Ron Paul’s foreign policy of noninterventionism is the only viable one for the real world. Ron Paul is the only one sensible enough to understand that no council, Congress, or commander-in-chief can rule the world. How can a man like Giuliani, who reads only neoconservative tracts with titles like World War IV, be expected to understand much of anything?

Like Giuliani, Wilson snarkily demeans this philosophy when he responds that America’s inaction is a result of Congress’s "tradition." But there’s nothing wrong with a tradition of peace and obeying the Constitution. It’s the tradition Ron Paul wants to bring back.

What disturbs me the most, however, is the real Charlie Wilson. On CBS’s Sunday Morning, an interviewer asked him if had any regrets. He brazenly replied, "None. What’re you gonna regret?"

I’m not sure. Maybe it could be the arming of butchers and despots who killed thousands and paved the way to September 11th. Just a thought.

January 7, 2008

Max Raskin [send him mail] goes to high school in New Jersey. He was a summer fellow at the Mises Institute in 2007.

Lame Duck President equates to; A little too late for that now. Let's move on and concentrate on our future. We have a new President to elect.

I am so proud of Obama. When everyone said it couldn't happen, he made it happen. I believe Obama represents the future of America. He is appealing to the young people, and it will take the younger generation to create change. A change in culture, in lifestyle! I think Clinton has a very twisted view of Change. She says that she is living change and has brought about change in America. I mean come on!! You did it eons ago. Americans are now leaving it!!!! It is now.. it will not be change...It is the humbleness and passion that matters and this is Obama! Look how emotional she got when she was attacked by Edwards... I think she is arrogant and it is reflecting in the polls. Clinton needs to stop acting like America owe her for her good dids in the past.

It's good to see Ron Paul get a mention in some mainstream media, especially since he finishes higher than Guliani in the polls. Oh wait, nevermind........non of the mainstream media soucrces have the backbone to even TALK about a canidate who raises tons of money from PEOPLE and not CORPORATIONS!!!!! Definietly not a bias here or at any other news source. ANyone picking up my sarcasim???

VOTE RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA DOESN"T HAVE A RECORD!!

Obama's Views Have Changed With Time

By CHRISTOPHER WILLS – Dec 22, 2007
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — If he wanted, the Barack Obama of today could have a pretty good debate with the Barack Obama of yesterday. They could argue about whether the death penalty is ever appropriate. Whether it makes sense to ban handguns. They might explore their differences on the Patriot Act or parental notification of abortion.
And they could debate whether Obama has flip-flopped, changed some of his views as he learned more over the years or is simply answering questions with more detail and nuance now that he is running for president.
The Democratic senator from Illinois hasn't made any fundamental policy shifts, such as changing his view on whether abortion should be legal. But his decade in public office and an Associated Press review of his answers to a questionnaire show positions changing in smaller ways.
Taken together, the shifts could suggest a liberal, inexperienced lawmaker gradually adjusting to the realities of what could be accomplished, first in the Illinois Legislature and then the U.S. Senate.
On the other hand, political rivals could accuse him of abandoning potentially unpopular views or of trying to disguise his real positions.
Take the death penalty.
In 1996, when he was running for a seat in the Illinois Senate, Obama's campaign filled out a questionnaire flatly stating that he did not support capital punishment. By 2004, his position was that he supported the death penalty "in theory" but felt the system was so flawed that a national moratorium on executions was required.
Today, he doesn't talk about a moratorium and says the death penalty is appropriate for "some crimes — mass murder, the rape and murder of a child — so heinous that the community is justified in expressing the full measure of its outrage."
Then there's another crime-related issue, gun control.
That 1996 questionnaire asked whether he supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns in Illinois. The campaign's answer was straightforward: "Yes." Eight years later, he said on another questionnaire that "a complete ban on handguns is not politically practicable" but reasonable restrictions should be imposed.
His legislative record in Illinois shows strong support for gun restrictions, such as limiting handgun purchases to one a month, but no attempts to ban them. Today, he stands by his support for controls while trying to reassure hunters that he has no interest in interfering with their access to firearms.
Obama's presidential campaign contends that voters can't learn anything about his views from the 1996 questionnaire, which was for an Illinois good-government group known as the IVI-IPO. Aides say Obama did not fill out the questionnaire and instead it was handled by a staffer who misrepresented his views on gun control, the death penalty and more.
"Barack Obama has a consistent record on the key issues facing our country," said spokesman Ben LaBolt. "Even conservative columnists have said they'd scoured Obama's record for inconsistencies and found there were virtually none."
IVI-IPO officials say it's inconceivable that Obama would have let a staffer turn in a questionnaire with incorrect answers. The group interviewed Obama in person about his answers before endorsing him in that 1996 legislative race, and he didn't suggest then, or anytime since, that the questionnaire needed to be corrected, they said.
Since he came to Washington, one piece of legislation that raises questions is the USA Patriot Act, the security measure approved after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
When he ran for the Senate, Obama called the act a "shoddy and dangerous law" that should be replaced. After he took office, the Senate considered an update that Obama criticized as only a modest improvement and one that was inferior to other alternatives.
Still, Obama ended up voting for that renewal and update of the Patriot Act.
Another disputed issue is health care.
Obama was asked in the 1996 questionnaire whether he supported a single-payer health plan, in which everyone gets health coverage through a single government program. The response was, "Yes in principle," and probably best to have the federal government set up such a program instead of the state.
Today, health care is a hot issue, and Obama does not support creating a single government program for everyone. In fact, rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards have criticized his health proposal for potentially leaving millions of people uninsured because they wouldn't be forced to buy insurance.
Political analysts don't see much danger for Obama in the changes. They aren't major shifts akin to Republican Mitt Romney's changes on abortion and gun control, so voters aren't likely to see the senator as indecisive or calculating.
"I think they allow for some adjustment," said Dante Scala, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire. "It depends on whether they're changing the core of what they're about."
In the general election, the Republican nominee would be more likely to go after the first-term senator on another front.
"If Obama is the Democratic candidate, I don't think the Republicans will be attacking him on a particular issue," said Dianne Bystrom, director of the Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University. "They'd be attacking him on his experience."
Obama's Democratic opponents, concerned about turning off voters who dislike negative campaigning, haven't been aggressively using his shifts against him. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign does quietly argue that they amount to a pattern that should concern the public.
Clinton spokesman Phil Singer noted Obama's positions on handguns, health care and the Patriot Act. "Voters will ultimately decide whether these are significant shifts in his views or not," he said.
One area where Obama's campaign acknowledges his views have changed is on the Defense of Marriage Act, which bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages. In January 2004, Obama said he was opposed to repealing the law. By February, one month later, he supported a repeal.
His campaign says Obama always thought the Defense of Marriage Act was a bad law but didn't believe it needed to be repealed. After hearing from gay friends how hurtful the law was, he decided it needed to be taken off the books.

Let's face it if Hillary Clinton was not in this race,Obama and Edwards would be extolling the successes of the Clinton Administration and what we had back then compared to now. Obama is no JFK or RFK, no experience, just a lot of pretty talk. Hillary knows how to talk the talk and walk the walk. Also I'm so ashamed of the women in this country we finally have a smart, intelligent woman in the mainstream of politics and some women are trying to deny her breaking the glass ceiling. It just goes to show women are still jealous of other women and need to have a man telling them what is good for them GO HILLARY......

Where are the Ron Paul highlights? He was in the ABC debate and made some excellent points. At the very least, he should have been listed. Looks like CNN is is starting to go the way of Fox News and omit candidates – shame on you.

I think that it's high time that Hillary stop talking about her experience and try to look for a way or strategy to win the peoples vote.It's high time that she stops chasing shadow and face the substance.She should make hay while the sun shines.

Chinnu,

Try again. H.C. doesn't have 35 years of experience so your example was poor.

It's high time that hillary stop talking about her experience and try to look for a strategy to win the peoples vote.

Senator Edwards, I would NOT vote for you because you are making your case only on of the expense of Hilary Clinton.

Gentleman?! What is it? On the debate you ware like a Hyena over her, before her suit... Is that a simple jealousy lire most of American women (surprise for me, even Pakistanis are more advance in this meter and Bhutto was killed from her enemies).

Second, do you deny that "Clinton's machine" work peaty well for americans for 8 years ?

It is partly your fault. Why didn't you win the Election in 2000? Now you are blaming Hilary that America is really in a big ...

You still play your ego agenda, Sur! Obama will be chewed and spit from Republicans, because he has not very much to offer then word "Change" (He sounds to me like those communist leaders who had been feeding the people only with nice word and hopes of future almost heavenly life; UTOPIA, eh , worked for some period).

Americans , please, just do not compare him with JFK.

If you really are talking from your heard, it is not late you to make some REAL CHANGE- make sure Democrat to be in the Oval office this time even that is not you.

As I rite on a CNN goes a Braking New about Iranians? I imagine Senator Obama in the Oval office with pence full of..

Wake up Americans, it is very serious , do not blow it again!

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Obama campaign violating state law by placing automated phone calls to numbers on the Do Not Call list. Former State Rep. Sandy Keans, a from Rochester, said she received a call.“This afternoon, I received a pre-recorded phone message from the Obama campaign attacking Senator Clinton even though I am on the Do-Not-Call List," Keans said.

Senator Barack Obama won the Iowa Caucuses. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson placed fourth. But did they really earn their finishing positions? The answer may be surprising. In the now past ABC New Hampshire debate before the January 8th first-in-the-nation primary, the rules were that only the candidates who finish in the top four slots in Iowa could participate, meaning that second-tier candidates who placed fourth could live on to continue their campaign another day. In the last hours before the Iowa caucuses Obama, who wanted to pad his victory and hedge his bets, approached Joe Biden with this, proposal: In precincts where Biden had a local official loyal to him, and if Biden wasn't viable, then Senator Biden would tell his organizers to move his supporters over to Obama en mass. Conversely, in precincts where Obama had more than enough supporters, he would lend people to Biden to ensure Biden a fourth place finish so that he could,continue Joe Biden actually considered the proposal. An anonymous source close to Biden told the Washington Post that the strategy could be "viability for victory."When the media found out, Obama's camp admitted that the conversation took place. Biden, who when asked about the proposal at a campaign event said that the deal could "probably" help both campaigns; however he later rejected the deal on "moral grounds," a source in Biden's Iowa organization told the Rev. Rob Times on condition of anonymity. History recorded that Joe Biden placed fifth in Iowa, and subsequently dropped out of the race. On January 4, the day after the caucus, the New York Times reported strong rumors that Obama made the same deal to Bill Richardson that he previously offered to Biden, only this time the deal was accepted.The Times article describes not only the rumors, but gives an eye-witness account and confession of an Obama official telling Richardson supporters that a pact had indeed been made between the two candidates. "That's what the leadership has said," admitted Deb Copeland, an Obama volunteer as reported by the New York Times. "What we're concerned about is we heard of a few people going to Hillary. And we want to keep you together," she told the Richardson supporters at the 64th precinct. Volunteers for the Biden campaign told the Rev. Rob Times that Obama organizers used the same speech about a "pact" to lure supporters in at least two precincts where Biden was only a few supporters shy of viability.Representatives from both the Obama and Richardson campaigns deny that such a deal was ever struck, yet first hand testimonies clearly paint a far different picture. The Effect in the end, the effect of backdoor wheeling and dealing between campaigns is that Richardson's fourth place finish could be artificial, and Obama's victory margin is larger than it would have been in a democratic system. Our democracy is based, in part, on the concept of "one man, one vote," and a vote by a secret ballot, free from the judging eyes of neighbors and the media, free from bribery, and free from the influence of political activists. Had the Iowa contest been based on a ballot, and had caucus voters cast a single vote for the candidate of their choice as is the most fair method of picking a president, then Obama may have come in second and Richardson in fifth. If Obama's victory margin had been smaller, or if he placed second, then the dynamic of the race would have changed drastically. Edwards, Clinton, and even Biden may have all come out of Iowa in stronger positions than any of them have.In part, the system is to blame, but those who took advantage of it and exploited it for their own purposes, namely Barack Obama and Bill Richardson, are not without culpability and their misdeeds should be remembered in the minds of voters.

A lot of people have dubbed this the "change vs experience" election. However, it has been implied way too often that we have to choose between change and experience, while i think a good balance of both is necessary. Thatis why I will vote Clinton. Obama undoubtedly promises to bring the most change, but he brings nothing on the experience side. Clinton, on the other hand promises a fair amount of change – the first woman president, a Democrat following a Republican president, a renewed focus on health care and America's image abroad. But she also brings a lot on the experience side – she was working on impeaching Nixon before Obama had finished college. She has spent 7 years in the senate and army generals unanimously admit her superior national security knowledge, she brings with her a team of people that include a former President and a Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. So between a promise of plenty of change and no experience and one of moderate change and plenty of experience, I definitely choose the latter.

Obama he has managed to avoid media bias against Clinton. "Obama, through an unprecedented convergence of luck has never before faced serious attack yet, Media refuses to show he is a phony, someone whose lofty rhetoric isn't born out in his own public record. His lack of foreign policy experience and showing he isn’t ready to lead in a dangerous world. His votes in the Senate to fund the Iraq war even as he tried to position himself as the strongest anti-war candidate. facts show he always supports the war, voted twice in 2006 against bringing America's troops back home, votes for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater, voted with Bush on posturing S 433 which allows the Bush to suspend any troop withdrawal! Record also shows Obama faced with tough choices always gave in to pressure from Bush admin and corporate lobbyists. Obama voted for Bush's energy bill, sending more than $13 billion in subsidies and tax breaks to oil, coal, and nuclear companies, voted with Repub to allow credit card companies to raise interest rates over 30 percent, increasing hardship for families. "He talks about change but has no real record of making change. Lastly his use of the race card will not play well nationally, We are absolutely sick of obama saying hes not running on race, but thats all he offering and all we are talking about!!!!, he is a self proclaimed Black Racist. Again media attacks Romneys Mormon faith but refuses to discuss obama church. Go to website to know what he believes. http://www.tucc.org/about.htm. I think the media needs to be held accountable! ALL the candidates should have been given the same treatment. All these OLD men who own these media outlets are afraid of an educated strong woman like Senator Clinton. Is why they attack her on clothes, wrinkles etc...And refuse to show her in any positive light. They have completely lost CREDIBILITY CNN, MSNBC etc...Are just the “Enquire on TV.

What the heck has happened to the GOP? They use to be about peace, small government and saving money. Now they are the opposite. Ron Paul is the only guy who is genuine and they treat him like a crazy person. O' well, America land of the free and home of the brave, Or at least it used to be.

Experience does not necessarily mean GOOD experience. The Clintons are beholden to the same monied interests that control both parties in Congress today (due to constant and costly campaign fundraising). Hillary is beholden to the special interests who are funding her campaign and would lobby her after her election. Remember the Sub-prime housing loan crisis?: President Clinton's Wall Street-loving Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin changed the rules to let commercial banks do what they had been prohibited from doing since the Great Depression, namely bundling home mortgages as if they were commercial paper, thereby avoiding corporate responsibility and financial risk. (Treasury Secretary Rubin then was promoted to Chairman of Citibank, which is one of the prime offenders in the Subprime crisis. Did no one learn from the earlier Savings & Loan Crisis? When it comes to greed, Clinton Democrats were no different from Reagan Republicans.) Remember bankruptcy reform?: The credit card companies and banks won, at the expense of consumers driven to bankruptcy by uninsured health care costs, thanks equally to both political parties in Congress. Likewise, the Clintons and the Bushes love the Saudis and other Middle East oil countries equally. They have been bought off by them. Those are BAD experiences for America. Like the Clintons' propensity for gutter politics. Enough with these Democrat Karl Roves! Go Obama!

Here is one simple reason why Obama will lose:

Obama voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive? Born Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA)

Even if he wins Democratic nominee, the Republican will use that against him in the general election.

With Joe Biden dropping out, I have to choose somebody else. Senator Clinton has the ace-in-the-hole in her husband which is, for me, her strongest case. I think Barak is a much better negotiator, but John Edwards would fight for the middle class, which is what most of us are. Therefore, I will not hesitate to vote for whomever gets the Democratic nomination and will feel confident he/she would do better than the administration we have endured for these past two terms.

I'm deeply concerned that all the "Republican" candidates laughed at Ron Paul's assessment of our foreign policy.

First we have a former Mayor of one of the most corrupt cities in the US claiming his stance on foreign policy should trump that of a multiple term congressman. All because he presided over the collapse of the twin towers. I'm sorry, but last I checked, if a catastrophe happens on your watch, you didn't do your job. And lets not forget you were pretty much a liberal before the unfortunate events of 9/11.

Second, we have a former Governor who has switched his stance more times than Peyton Manning at the line of scrimmage. He also employs illegal immigrants at his mansion.

Third, we have a Senator from TN who is best known for his appearances on Law & Order. Sorry, but fictional cases don't count, senator. And you laughing at Dr Paul's assertions...assertions that are backed by scholars throughout the world...speak volumes about your ignorance.

Next, is the former Gov. of Arkansas. He presided over what? His state went from 49th to 47th in education. That's not something to be proud of. Also, quit trying to adopt Dr. Paul's stances. You have no intention of reverting back to a constitutional government. If you did, you wouldn't be pandering to the religious right.

And finally, the Senator from Arizona, who claims his combat experience trumps everyone else in the foreign policy debate. Mr. McCain, you should actually take the time to study our nations history before you spout off to the American public that your policy is gospel. history proves that you are, in fact, wrong "sir."

It saddens me that these men dismiss out of hand a foreign policy they've never considered. If they'd considered it, this country wouldn't be in the mess it finds itself in.

Praise to McGovern for his suggestion: impeach Bush & Cheney. What is the Congress waiting for? – - – Response to another comment: Barack Obama can't be everywhere. He has accomplished amazing things in Chicago. He is exceptionally intelligent, smart & wise for his age, and articulate; not the average American qualifications. Let us be grateful.

Seems you have left out any information about Kucinich. Don't you have enough reporters? I think many in the nation would like to know what he is doing and it appears you might be one of those "campaign killers" that you aired this evening on CNN

I believe the in the aspirations of the American Constitution and strongly support Barack Obama as he stands with its principals.

Hillary had 35 years with Bill in Office and the economic surplus is simply the bull market of capitalism thats gave us the good times. We enjoyed it from our own hard work and mean time Hillary was busy spending lobbyists funds while Bill got in trouble with moral ethics in the white house.

We, the American people, have had enough and we want wisdom not experience with straight talk plus honesty in the next president.

Barak Obama has proven wisdom, insight and strength in his achievements with passion for a positive change.

Lets vote for Barack Obama, he will lead us to a better America and a safer world.

Lame McCain, thats his name he has no brain.

Using his mom to slander candidates is as lame as it gets.
He is almost as embarassing as Hillary

McCain like a wimp calling names from a safe distance in a school yard.

Excellent coverage again, and I enjoyed seeing the ABC debate as I did not have access to that when it originally aired.

I don't understand how Obama's poll numbers are rising and Clinton's are falling, especially after that debate. She is clearly so many strides ahead of him when it comes to being a pres that can get it done starting from day one. However, I also understand how sick people (including me) are of watching the U.S. deteriorate and would vote for anything that seems non-Washingtonian. Unfortunately, I think with Obama as the nominee, a rep will win the WH unless that goofy Huckabee gets the rep nomination. If Clinton pulls off the nomination, I think she'll be the next pres no matter who the rep nominee is.

This is like a real life soap opera and I'm loving it. Keep it coming, CNN.

Mitt is the only canidate that does not mix words . and has a proven track record not like OMABA OR JESSIE OR AL SHARPTON

McCain's a cancerous time bomb ready to go off. Even if he somehow gets elected, his melanoma is rediculously likely to come back and kill him before he finishes a term anyway. Any doctor who checks out McCains history will know it. Look it up yourself.

I'm an independent in NH and Mitt Romney blew away the competition tonight. He definitely convinced me to vote for him.

I was between McCain and Romney, but tonight, Romney strongly, intelligently and passionately showed (1) Mitt is tough on illegal immigration while McCain still wants amnesty and just calls it a different name, (2) Mitt is an economic genius who will cut the income tax and corporate tax, and eliminate the death tax, while McCain has proven to align himself with the most liberal senators against the Bush tax cuts, (3) Mitt is youthful, energetic and a problem-solver while McCain seems a bit tired and petty, and (4) Mitt is a Washington outsider and an institution-reformer, while McCain is an old Washington guy bouncing around the same, failed policies.

I'm convinced NH saw their man tonight- Mitt Romney.

I wish CNN along with other news programs would give John Edwards more air time. He by far did better in the debates yet since he is not in first or second position the focus is on the other two candidates. Big mistake. His numbers are climbing. He would be the best person for the job. Is it because he did not take corporate monies or lobbist moneys cause after all the news programs are corporate. Maybe he should be in the pockets like the rest of them in order to gain attention in the primaries. I was one that did not believe that there were weapons of mass destruction (before the war started) yet I had to listen to news outside of my own country to get news that supported by thoughts on the war as our news stations had no guts. I probably will have to do the same thing in regards to the election and as far as impeaching Bush well we would have to impeach Cheney also as they are two peas in a pod so where does that leave us?

the only backbone McGovern and Carter have ever and still have is yellow.

While the American economy goes down the sink and Wall Street plummets this year, it's so comforting to know that we have scores of narrow-minded paranoid dupes who are actively campaigning (especially in the South) against the Mormon candidate. It was the well-concerted effort by many Evangelical ministers in Iowa who thwarted the Romney campaign. We all know Pope Dobson was rooting for the Huckster from the beginning. He finally came out of the closet and is gloating about the "Christian' candidate. I'm just sure the Huckster will use his business savvy to mastermind our complex economy with his divinity degree from Oachita Baptist College. Then, he will deploy his cerebral army of has-beens, like Ric Flair (professional wrestler), Chuck Norris, etc., to sell scores of cheese wiz in the can, by the caseloads to the Chinese, so that they don't just dump their American dollars on the world market, as its value continue to tank. After all, Chuck will give them all a swift kick. Besides, I'm just sure the whole world will magically be charmed by the Gomer Pyle, with the smile and want to buy cloudy Arkansas diamonds at full price. Besides, we don't need no Wall Street elitists, right Huck. Just play the class warfare card. I'm just sure your Jesus would. South Carolina is next. Praise the Lord and stop the Mormon cultist, right?
And furthermore, the Barney Frank crowd in Massachusetts is hell bent on getting revenge against Romney for his four years of conservatism in the bluest state in the Union. Frank probably called on the scores of jounalists from the Image Maker Machinery, in order to artifically prop up Mc Cain in New Hampshire from not only the newpapers, but to the television media as well, with the silly mantra, "the comeback kid". The forces of both the right wing anti-Mormon bigots and the left wing liberals are committed to stopping Mitt Romney. Romney may be the "rich" candidate, but he earned it and has also worked his gluteus maximus off the most, as well. He has also been the most positive of all candidates. His attacks against his opponents are sound and factual. Sounds like the American way to me. Trust me, once Romney gets bumped-out, the Image Maker Machinery will suddenly commence in drive-by journalism at those candidates they once artifically propped-up. Then, that will pave the way for the Democratic nominee. What a shame. Americans of conservative persuation will have primarily the bigoted wing of Evangelicans in Iowa, South Carolina and many other Bible Belt areas to blame. I know of several Evangelical friends who have already told me they too are discussted with them.
LET THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BEGIN.

Since Obama is preaching about giving government to the "people" I do wish someone would ask Obama what he has ever done for the citizens of Southern Illinois. Maybe he is well known in the Chicago area but there are many people in the state who do not live in Chicago. What has he done for those people? As you know he is a Senator from Illinois. His work for the state can't hold a candle to what Senator Durbin has done. I feel all who hear Obama should seperate his speeches from his actual actions.

It will be interesting to see if John McCain is still a smart ass after New Hampshire.

Hillary is the only one who has been making posityive changes for the past 35 years. It is not just a n inspirational speech for her. Experiance is not leprosy .

Do't you want an experienced, well informed neuro surgion to operate on your brain rather than a likable , inspirational speaker who promise to make change.

Hey voters out there! Politics is a very complicated subject...
Politics is not about looking good or trying to lecture people...Obama is the one beeing artificially prop up, not Clinton. The latter can actually do the work and bring us back to stability and confidence. Gop supporters and Independents are voting for Obama because they want somebody that they can easily tear down during the general election.. Think about it! In real politics race can not play a big factor, but experience count... This is the first nation in the face of the planet... Carefully select a 'Leader', not a talker or an immature.. Let us not mention Edwards; he's looking @ obama shoulders for running mate like last time; but this time he is not getting.. Even the most sublime forces of nature will not let it happen or let America in the hands of 2 immatures!! If they get the nomination, that will be it for the Democratic party!!! Thus, I'll be campaigning and voting for McCain or any other GOP nominee..This is not personal or the race for the Senate.
YOU ALL WANTED GORE, BUSH WON... That is how it works... YOU ALL LIKE IMMATURES AND VERY ENERGIZED GUYS, but Clinton will have the most delegates at the end of the dayyyy.. Don't be last to line up to vote for her

I want to see if John McCain after NH is still a smart ass.

Serge Smart ass comments are getting annoying as Hillary.

Hillary and Obama plan to pull the troops and and let Iran take over and control most of the world oil with nuclear weapons is scary.

Two words "President Pelosi"

I am watching the rerun of the debate. I am saddened that Hillary threw such a low blow on Jon Edwards. Perhaps, she and Mitt Romney could combine their resources to continue to mudsling, versus addressing the issues.

Obama / Edwards should be the ticket for 08!!!

At some point people in this country are going to have to WAKE UP! Our country is slipping so fast down the stinker and it seems as it everyone is sleep walking as if nothings happening. As the saying goes you have to STAND FOR SOMETHING or you will fall for everything. TAKE A STAND....if any President ever deserve impeachment more...Clinton had impeachment troubles over lying about sexual favors...my God how much worse is all that the Bush/Chenney admin has done to us: Lying to Congress about the reasons for going to War, Violating the geneva convention and thus possibly daming our brave military because if we don't honor the codes of war then neither will other countries and not to mention violating the laws by leaking confidential CIA information and lying about. On and on they continue to destroy our already fragile country. Will we just continue to allow it?

No democratic candidate is going to destroy thier chance to reach across teh aile and get something done after they win the Whitehouse in November. This is the type of arguement youll hear only from somebody who has nothing to lose. And the american people would stand to loseas well, when things become even more partisan than they already are, with such punitive actions – even if Bush deserves it.

It would serve everyone best if you let Bush be remembered on what he has done to our world and let that be punishment enough for such an arrogant self-centered fool.

Let him be forgoten, or worse.

CEO and founder of RxPop.com says, “U.S. citizens are offered a health care system that is not only disgustfully inadequate and inefficient, but a complete and total moral ignominy. If the U.S. cannot adopt a more economical and stabilized health care system, citizens should be able to turn to Canada for help. Denying them this right could cost them their lives and that is unacceptable!”

Over 46.6 million Americans are uninsured, with 15.9 percent of Americans lacking health coverage.

Census data show that 46.6 million Americans were uninsured in 2005, an increase of 1.3 million from the number of uninsured in 2004 (45.3 million). The percentage who are uninsured rose from 15.6 percent in 2004 to 15.9 percent in 2005. The number of children who are uninsured rose from 7.9 million in 2004 to 8.3 million in 2005.

My fellow Americans, wake up! It’s time for drastic change in U.S. Health Care Policy.

Remember every single vote counts, including YOURS!

Where are Ron Paul's views? Come on CNN, I thought you were better than Fox News....

Thank you Senator McGovern for taking a principled stand. We need more Statesman with courage to come forward and make themselves heard. I suspect this sentiment runs deep among people and leaders of both parties. I hope this will bring other leaders from both parties forward to speak out.

This is clearly a popularity contest, sure I'd vote for Mike Huckabee if I was selecting a next door neighbor.

It is about time that a Democrat showed some backbone!!!

It is far better for McGovern to keep his mouth shout, and let people think that he may actually know something, rather than open his mouth and totally erase any doubts that he knows anything at all.

In other words to sum it all up....no one on both sides has any balls to impeach our dictators?
