It is funny when bill clinton said that he smoked pot but did not inhail and also he never had sex with that women and now there are clinton supports that want hillary, we need for sure some one another in the whitehouse instead of another clinton so if hillary gets in that means this country has been under a bush or clinton for the past 20 years trying to make it 28 years, give me a brake there has to be some one another then the two familes. lets wait up america

Bradley still hasent taken his head out of his rear,,,,

liar,lair, all the money sent ??for what ?? do you not think we do not even understand how someone call , a flip flopper,wants to do anything to win,for what they will not do ( IS SELL YOU AND ME TO HELL) there is not one that has not try to make a deal- and it not with the Lord. thanks Dale

my mistake, I thought I was posting on the main page, not this single article.

why is there not a word about Dr. Ron Paul on this whole page?

Your lack of coverage of Ron Paul will surely backfire.

BRADLEY IS A SICK MAN!!!

I am a white, middle class ,middle aged woman. I support Obama and here's why.
He does have experience to handle the White House on "day one " as Hillary puts it. First he has proven to be a leader. He has taken his campaign from a virtual "who is this guy" to winning in Iowa. It takes commitment ,dedication intelligence, and strength. He has proven this by running a campaign where he was an unknown and comes out of the woodwork to surpass the knowns. He has built this campaign truly from grassroots.

The change he is trying to inspire is change from the same old politics. I do not dislike Hillary but it seems everyone else does. They will dog her from day one in the White House and once again NOTHING will get done. It will be the same old politics of bipartisnship and fighting beteween Rep and Dems. Red and Blue

Barack has also proven to be able to work across party lines to get things done. If you listened to the Republicans on the New Hampshire debates they all like and respect him. They also I am sure fear him a little because attacking him makes them look bad because he takes the higher road.

This country needs real change and voting for those that have been in Washington for ages is voting for the same old song and dance.

Barack is also intelligent and will surround himself with the same. You can tell he takes this very seriously and I believe he( or anyone else running for this position) would not even attempt to run if they didn't believe they could handle it.

What I find most interesting about this whole political process is the word or catch prase of this election CHANGE. I have been following Obama since his speech in Ill when he decided to run and no one gave him a chance in hell of winning.
He is the one that used Change first in his inspiring speech. Now that everyone sees this is what the people really want THE REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS alike have all FOLLOWED HIS LEAD all claiming to be the agents of change. If that is not an indication of a leader. I don't know what else is.

Hahaha, look at all of these Hillary plants!

Firstly, "Seg", Hillary Clinton wasn't president when those surpluses were created - BILL Clinton was (in spite of her and her ideas!).

And "Jeffrey" – Obama has MORE experience as an elected official than Hillary does! Being the President's life partner does NOT equal experience!! As far as "experience" goes, Obama has her beat there as well!

And this isn't even addressing Hillary's burning desire to invade Iran on behalf of her campaign's backers, or the fact that she's in the pockets of the major insurance companies these days.

Obama or bust!!!

Jeffrey:

You'll go with "experience and boring"? Fair enough about the boring part – it doesn't matter.

But what good is experience, if one's judgement is dreadful on the most important matters? Hillary has very bad judgement, and we should think about that.

Anyway, I don't mean to be bombastic, but a vote for Barack makes a lot more sense.

Best wishes!

Dollar Bill has not been sgnificant since he left the Knicks/.....

Having someone of such wonderful basketball and a little political expertise come out for someone of limited qualifications because they win one primary is phenomenal! Bradley's basketball credentials speak for themselves; his political credentials rival those of Carter, Mondale and even Mcgovern. What a coup!

Why isn't everyone remembering the budget SURPLUS and not paying attention to the huge W deficit? Sheesh. Hillary has EARNED the right to return to Pennsylvania Ave.

Bill Bradley, He's Tall thts All!

Um...last time I checked, we were voting for a President, not a Team Spirit cheer leader. I'll go with experience and boring any day.

I knew a Paul Vance from Blackwell Oklahoma. He used Drugs. I just wonder if Barack Obama will legalize POT. COOL

I LOVE what I'm hearing today in regards to the latest polls coming out of NH. Rasmussen has Obama up by double digits over Hillary. Could we be seeing a ground swell of support for the Illinois Senator? Hope so. Go home Hillary, wherever that might be?

I am a 57 year old white female that thought that Bill Clinton was a great President, but what I am seeing in this election thrills me. I am a product of the 1960's, just as Bill and Hillary are, and I truly believe it is time to pass the baton on to the next generation. I am so proud that the young people of this United States of America are so involve this year. (Young being under the age of 40) It is so easy to understand why they are backing Barak Obama, because he truly is the candidate for change. Being able to vote for a Black man may make our generation feel good about itself, but these younger adults do not even think about it. He may be inexperienced, but so was Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. We are the generation that taught this new generation to look past the color of one's skin and see who that person really is. We are the generation that lived through the Viet Nam war, Watergate, and segregration. We have accomplished many great things, but I truly believe that what we are witnessing now may be our greatest accomplishment.

Not only are these younger generations seeing a man that gives them hope for their future, but because of our generations accomplishments, they are able to not only communicate of others across the US with the internet, but they are also able to communicate with their generations with people all across the globe. They see in this man, a man that will be able to reach out to the world.

We are dispersed energy. Obama can inspire people, harness the energy of the people and focus them like a laser. He might not inspire all people but he inspire sufficient people to bring about productive change. It's not only what he do but what he inspire us to do as well. Get on the Obama train, bring the country together and end the division. United We stand. Divided We Fall.

Thank you, Mr. Bradley. Let's bring the country together and end the division. Welcome to the Obama family.

That's wonderful. Good call to back a winner Bill Bradley.
No more Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton. They are all the same and we have had more than enough of them to last a life time.

Yeah, like that'll make a difference.

All the remaining candidates (both Replican and Democrat) are wishy-washy. They are only interested and swayed by which group will benefit them the most and this is a day to day occurence.
Of all those seeking the White House, only one seems to have any true focus and no personal motives in seeking the presidency. And this candidate is none other than Barack Obama.
His honesty and down to earth approach seems to include the American public. The other remaining candidates focus on their individual ambitions and this is the single most problem the USA faces in their leadership in Washington.
America needs change...America needs Obama. America needs honesty...America needs Obama. America needs insight...America needs Obama. America needs a focus and leadership...all these come in a package deal from an 'inexperienced' senator from Illinois.

Great Endorsement if you look back and see, Obama is running the same kind of campaign as Bradley ran against Gore. Lie to core against your opponent. That cost the election at that time and it will cost us the election this time. This guy lied so much about Gore and may be advising Obama to do the same against HRC.

You idiot!

Thanks Bradley for helping us advance this history. It is time to change. Obama is the only candidate out there who can bring people together for a common purpose. End the war in Irak, fix the healthcare system, and fix the economy, restore our country image toward throughout the world.

Thanks,

Kokou

Go Obuma!!

Wow! Obama has locked up the dull and uninteresting bloc's vote. Kudoes!

Too bad, this is the final kiss of death for Obama. He is a wonderful orator, but in the e-mails I received from his camp there was no substance at all. Yes every four years someone promises change. I didn't like Bush's changes at all, he did the opposite of what he said he would do during his campaign. But Obama doesn't say what these wonderful changes are to be. Insurance for some does not sound good to me.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Edwards is right. Clinton is the cadidate of the status quo. She was annointed "front runner" by the media because her husband was president; she had the name recognition. (It is a joke how the media controls our thoughts).

What has Clinton done to deserve all the attention she has gotten? Where has she distinuished herself? Unfortunately, she will be in for the long haul because she has sooo much money (again, thanks to Bill).

Obama, on the other hand, is receiving the same free pass Clinton did months ago (didn't we learn our lesson with Bush- remember his free pass in 2000?). He makes the same naive promises that Bush made in 2000. It can't be done. We have a 2 party system that inherently creates competition between the parties. That is how it is, and how it will always be. Change does not happen by wishing for it. Change does not happen by asking those special interests- who have a vested financial incentive to resist change – to cede power. Change does not happen with grandiose oratorical preaching. Change is something that we need actively seek. Change is something we need to spend our entire day working for. Change is something that can be achieved, but only through hard work, struggle, and taking the fight to those who resist it. Edwards understands this, unfortunately, though we Americans are, again, blinded by money, and allow the media to make our choices for us.

While Clinton seemed to be the only one from either party who really understands that the devil is in the details (except for maybe Ron Paul, but his reasoniong is sometimes flawed) the Obama snowball is continuing to roll downhill. Her 30 second explanation of all the considerations involved in the possible withdrawl of troops was just one glaring example that showed the other candidates can throw out high level ideas, but really have not thought through the consequences. For some reason I still do not understand (other than who her husband is) there are many haters out there...who can never give a valid reason why they hate her. This whole contest is turning out to be very, very scary on both sides, but any of the Democrats are better than the alternatives.

My teen ager just told me it was ok to smoke pot and snort crank because Obama did. Obama YOU BETTER EXPLAIN TO MY CHILD NOW> I WILL HOLD YOU RESPOINSEABLE> YES I AM ANGRY

We have to rid ourselves of the Bush/Clinton era. They have divided the country. We must change the opinion of the USA from within. I believe Obama provides a fresh, strong and realistic approach towards achieving this objective.

Bradley gets it!

He so clearly and simply articulated why Obama should be, no needs to be the candidate!

I am surprised that the Clintons can't see this.

Bradley will help Obama in NH, he was very popular with independents there when he ran. He also helps some main stream democrats as he was seen as a positive figure.

I think the Democrats have three great candidates. Edwards, Hillary and Obama anyone of which will make a great president. However, Obama is an inspiration and is more likely to get consensus for the change we need in this country; but I also believe that John Edwards is very sincere and will be doing everything in his power to effect change.

It is also refreshing to hear Mike Huckabee talking about change in the Republican Party. He seems sinsere and trustworthy and is the only republican candidate that I thought was worth giving a chance from day one. However, John McCain is the most consistent candidate on that side of the fence who speaks consistently what he believes. Unfortunenately, his belief is far out of line with today's Americans He obviously is living in the past, and more over, putting another republican back in the white house means that change cannot and will not come regardless of his intention before he goes in. The strong forces of ideology power and corruption that surrounds the presidency of a republican president will only amount to dissasterous evil to this nation and the world.

Wow. A washed up politician from the most corrupt state in the country is giving out endorsements. I guess now he thinks Obama is going to win by a landslide.

Yup, that's right... idealism...that's all it is... idealism (from the right) got us into the mess we are in now... we don't need idealism from the left now....

After Bush it is Obama.....US going down hill. Whatever damage bush did is going to be finished off by Obama. After all it is about who you can have beer with...screw the economy, iraq war or healthcare. Lets burn america by own bare hands.

Why is it that whenever someone endorses Obama, it's front and center news on CNN. It would be nice if CNN played catch-up and announced the many endorsements Clinton has also received.

Bradley gets it!

It's time Democrats get it too. Obama will easily capture the Independent vote. That equates to a victory for Democrats.

Hillary can't reach Independents, especially young voters with their futures at stake. Wake up! It's time to jump on a new bandwagon. A movement of bipartisan politics.

Americans need to unite. Sadly, Hillary can never do it.

Amazing but expected that CNN is the last major network to put this announcement online. Not only last, CNN, but you hid it in the ticker UNDER the old Bill OReilly article. You're like a child with this stuff.
It's quite pathetic actually and extremely selfish and unprofessional of you.
You know Bradley's endorsement of Obama hurts Hillary, go ahead, be bold, do what you're supposed to do and put it on the front page of your Online!
I dare ya!

Is this really any kind of news? Maybe Bradley just wants to get on the "Vice" list?

Reliable Sources-- I have never before written to comment on a TV program, but I want to commend and thank CNN for deciding to play the democratic and republican face book debates again tonight. This is a terrific public service. Thank you for putting our (small d) democratic needs for information above broadcast network competitive interests!

Also, today's Reliable Sources program was intelligent and self reflective. I appreciate your report about the media's (I want to believe) 'unintentional' role in swaying public opinion while trying to 'report' the news. I applaud your discussion of the challenges of reaching high professional standards.

Barack Obama is bringing together catholics and evangelicals with his code word "hope". See Pope Benedict's encyclical "Spe Salvi" (Saved by hope).

I can see the Republican attack ads now. Testimony from LAtin American families who have lost loved ones to the drug wars, then this comment; "Obama calls it, "scoring some blow". We call it supporting drug cartels." Obama is political suicide for the Democrats. The Republicans will eat him alive. Swiftboat mean anything to anyone. That was a character assassination on Kerry for his decorated war service to America, not casual hard drug use. Suicide by 17 year olds and independents. Democrats need to make sure they get to the polls and make the right choice.
