Racists. The only reason Hillary did not divorce her husband was because she needed his help. Look what she is doing now with William. It is like they are on cloud nine but it is all for the White House. Once in there, if at all, Hillary will ahve her sweet revenge. I am sure she will also ne denying having sexual relations with that boy. Hillary you are not presidential - you are better off pushing for change outside the white house. Just do not cry, seeing you are a cry baby. Do not say I did not warn you.

Go Obama - you are the next president

All you ridiculous idiots. Hillary and William Clinton have a lot of dirty laundry. Receiving money form the Arab world - who is bringing this up. Now, a picture with the so called "slum Lord" has surfaced and all the Clintons do is deny deny deny. We do not know this "slum Lord". YEs, just like you did not have sexual encounters with Monika. How Hillary hired private detectives and used public funds to pay for this. The private detectives were to investigate all of William's girlfriends - sexual encounters or not and make them keep quite for good. William is lucky he was not impeached. Clintons are used to getting the black votes for nothing because the blacks are idiots in that they would rather have a white prson than thier own. Wake up blacks. You think the Clintos later on the democrats have you at heart. NO, all they want is your vote.
The Clinton's start these fights knowing very well they can twist them in the futre to their advantage - anything to win the White House. Common wake up

i believe hillary is the best choice, who ever watched "sicko" MIGHT like her a bit better, i totally agree with her on the health care issue. you know what? i bet the people who are saying hillary sucks are mostly men, right?? women don't have to right to be president? don't say that u don't another clinton in the white house as an excuse. what's wrong with the last clinton???

I think Michael Goodwin is the first to write about this factor. John F.
Harris and Maureen Dowd also touch on this factor. However, they are just
describing the peak of the iceberg.

Hillary Clinton is On the Ropes (Michael Goodwin, New York Daily News)
"The nostalgia for the '90s, a move for a restoration of the Clinton
presidency, isn't a persuasive rationale. The flaw was on display in her
speech - surrounded by Bill and some of his old aides, she was a tableau of
the past, not the future."

"She needs to come out from behind Bubba and the barricades and the imperial
court of handlers who create a bubble."

Hillary and Bill Clinton's time in the White house was during a much
different, much easier time in our country's history than the next eight
years will be.

I think the voters realize that Hillary's claim to experience was that she
had only some experience and that it was during that much different, much
easier period.

It is not all that relevant to the difficult next eight years. Her time has
come and gone.

I think that voters are seeing Bill Clinton as someone who rode the wave,
not as someone who actively created the good times. The more I read and
think about Bill, the more I see him as someone who wasted a fabulous
opportunity to help the people of this country.

I think that is underlying Hillary's drop in the polls and the loss in Iowa.
If that is correct, I don't see how she can regain the lead without a very
negative attack on Obama. I think that having Bill on the campaign trail
was the cause of her decline. It made her look like his puppet, reminded
people of Bill's failings to seize the fabulous opportunity, and reinforced
the opinion that she was of the past that was much different than the
present.

If this is correct, Bill's taking over her campaign in NH for the next few
days will only make matters worse for Hillary. Sharp attacks by both of
them against Obama will also reinforce the differences between the two
candidates. It appears that the Clintons have decided on an all or nothing
tactic to NH.
I encourage your reporters to check out this angle more fully and, if they
agree, to publish an article on this aspect of the race.

Running to redeem a father and now, a husband, is a story worth writing.
Much has been written about George W running to redeem his father's "failure" to "go to Bagdad".
Some has been written this time around about Senator Dodd running to redeem his father's failure-ethical lapses- and Governor Romney running to redeem his father's failure-his brainwashing comments.
The press has been nibbling around the edges of Hillary running to redeem Bill and herself. That story, however, is the most intriguing of the bunch.

In addition, an article written about all of these "redemption" runs would probably convince us that voters should never vote for a presidential candidate who is related to a president or presidential candidate. I think with just my information it is fair to say that redemption runs lead to poor judgment in the political decisions of a campaign and in presidential decisions, clouding both. An experienced political writer or writers would be able to fully research and present clearly the results of that research.

I think that Hillary Clinton would still be leading if Bill Clinton had been kept in the background. What I am seeing and what I believe the press is starting to report is that Hillary's race is all about Bill redeeming Bill and Bill's legacy and Hillary redeeming Bill, Bill's legacy, and Hillary's legacy. Obama and Edwards have been clearly stating for a long time that their presidential race is about America or about the middle class or about the other America, not about them. Hillary in NH is just starting to say that her race is not about her. But she just said that the race for her is very personal, suggesting policy but in reality much more telling.

What will happen is Obama will win the next election.
Time will tell. Clintons are out> so Edwards.
First time in history USA will have a black president,powerful not necessary good

The last thing we need is another, or the same Clintons in office.

I have been a fan of the Clintons, since forever; they could do no wrong in my book — until now. I have been waiting to vote for Sen. Clinton for years; however, I am terribly disappointed by the way President Bill Clinton is handling the results of Iowa and New Hampshire. What is happening to Sen. Clinton's campaign is not the fault of the press, so he should stop blaming them and stop the unjust attacks upon Sen Obama.

What is happening to Sen. Obama is just what happened to President Clinton when he first ran for president.

I'm so extremely disappointed that it has made me change my mind. If they react to not getting their way now, how will they react IF Sen. Clinton becomes president and things do go their way?

Like her or not, Hillary has what it takes to be president. Obama is giving us what we want to hear, fluff, promises, but nothing concrete. He speaks of hope, and makes promises. He would change things, but doesn't tell us what, or how. Since Regan, this country has been sold to the rich and the big corporations, though tax deals, tax cuts, tax incentives, tax credits, and subsidies, down to sales taxes the little guy pays, and they get to put in their pockets, instead of going to the state, county, and cities that provide the venue for their businesses. 7 years ago, we got Bush, and thanks to him, Cheney, the Neocons, and the Religious right, this country has been carefully taken advantage of, and bled of wealth, power, and credibility in the world arena.

Bill Clinton looks really "old". And his remarks about his wife — well — if he didn't mind embarrasing her in front of the world with his extra marital affairs — what would make us think he would change now. i feel sorry for Hillary — she seems like a good woman — maybe if she dumps him — her numbers might go up.

Some are working on a "Stop Hilliary" campaign. Did not know that President Clinton was a memebr of that group. That is the scret sauce: let Bill get out in the public with his HUGE ego, make insane comments, and he will stop his wife from getting the nomination! ALSO: talking about the press and Obama - when will the liberal press, both print & media, get to the subject of Bill's infidelity? I also wonder how emotional Hillary will get when she realizes that she is defeated? Maybe all of those years sticking with Bill, to have him as her power base, will evaporate and she will finally divorce him.

Democrats, Will not let these two dinky states determine the next democratic nominee, this is a decision that requires thought, and soon that will be apparent…..Change…….., it's in my pocket, and also occurrs when I take my pant's off….what does it all mean, and how will it be accomplished ,and who is the best for our government's stabilty,…………..

I just want to ask the question, They have talked about religon with Mitt R. and Huckabee, But no one has asked Obama. at least not that i've heard on the news. I realy would like to someone at least ASK. I think we all need to know
Thank you RDM

Here is a piece from NYT's readers posting to show why democrats lose the 2008 president election in January:

Lenedone Wrote “Question about Obama’s electability. Which States do you think Obama will win in the General Elections?

Here is my analysis of why he will lose badly to the Republicans:

(1) The Republican nominee will be either, McCain, Romney, Julianni, or Huckabee. The Republican establishment will throw it’s full machinery behind whoever that nominee is.

(2) Next, they will make national security and terrorism the main issue in the debate.

(3) Then, they will define Obama based on his own record or lack thereof, as weak on national security, inexperienced and naïve. (Have we not seen this movie before)

(4) Next, they will do what the media and the democrats have not done, they will research everything he has ever done, and then the 527 groups will launch those famous “unaffiliated” Swift boat ads.

(e) They will attack him and define in the Southern and Mid Western States as a real threat to the future of our country and to our children. They will note how frequently he has abstained or failed to vote as a US and State Senator, and will claim he cannot be trusted to make the tough decisions. (did you not see the early signs of this last night in the Republican debate)

(f) They will say that in an unstable economic climate do you want to risk your family’s bread and butter with this rookie.

(g) Then they will ask him, what has he ever done? (compared to the republican nominee the answer will be “not much really”)

(h) The republican 527 groups will also do what has not been by his fellow democrats, that is, they will question his temperament, and ask questions about his drug use, and insinuate that perhaps he still has a problem in that area.

(i) These 527 will unearth allege drug users and dealers who will say that they shared a cocaine session with him then, and that they know someone who sold him crack cocaine last year. There will be a 1,000 stories like these. These fellows don’t play nice.

(j) The Republican nominee will stay above the fray and say that they oppose these 527 groups and want them banned, but unfortunately, like John Edwards said recently about 527 running ads. against Obama on his behalf, it is illegal to contact them in any way. Remember Bush and Kerry, and Bush’s father against Dukasus?

(k) For whom did the country vote in the last elections when Americans were dying in Iraq and Bush was seen as running a poorly executed war? Did they vote for the war hero who promised change and hope, or did they vote for the man whose military service records seemed to have mystic properties, and who got us into Iraq in the first place?

(l) Many of those who feel inspired today by Obama will cringe from him after the republicans 527 begin their attack, and other will simply no longer support him based on the “real” Obama as defined by these 527s.

(m) Given all of the above, Obama will lose every Southern State, including Florida, he will also lose Ohio, and then he will have to really fight to win all the states that Kerry one in the last elections. I can assure you he will not win them all when the republicans are through with him.

(n) So tell me dear chap, how will Obama win the 270 electoral votes he needs to win the presidency? He can not!”

American has come a long way. Geraldine Ferraro once said, . . . "It was not long ago that people thought that semiconductors were part-time orchestra leaders and microchips were very, very small snack foods." Unquote. The point here is not to be so naive this time around. It's time to upgrade and get a women in the White House. Senator Hillary Clinton is capable of leading and I believe she has the qualities and experience in making foreign and domestic decisions. She has chosen a path to run for president in a land she loves. A path of change and peace. Win or lose Hillary Clinton is a winner. At this point she can claim victory for women and she has made an historical difference and a positive impact on the country since the day the women had won the right to vote. Wake up women!! Where is your vote!!

It is suspect that Chelsea Clinton is on the campaign trail with her parents but forbidden to speak. In pictures she looks like a mindless "Stepford" daughter. What in the world is up with that?

Lastly, I am against Clinton. I cannot bear to hear her pontificating as president for the next 4 years! She is calculating and too ambitous for her own good. Had she been taking care of her husband when he was in office, I believe it's a very good bet that that scandal would not have occurred.

Hang in there, Hillary. ALOT OF AMERICANS ARE COUNTING ON YOU! What about Clinton/Obama on the ticket? He can gain the much needed experience that he is lacking during his term as VP and take his rightful place as Prez next time around.

If you vote for any Clinton or Bush, you are throwing away our democracy, which was fought long and hard by our forefathers. What's the difference between U.S. and Pakistan or Russia? How can we get all excited if Putin wants to be the Russian leader for life?

I think no one has experience for the job except actual past presidents however that is why the president has the cabinet positions for.

Let's get back to basics. When you hire someone, first you have to sift through resumes of qualifications. Let's strip the candidates of their high-profile sound bites, party affiliations, personal backgrounds, type of sex, birthdates, (things you can't ask potential employees) and let their community service, foreign expertise, domestic intellect, and political record speak for themselves. If we just looked at experience and positive change they affected without the garbage, I think that the front runner would be obvious.

It is time for America to elect its first woman president! We need changes and Hillary
is ready to be America's first president and so should America. We, as a nation, always
trumpet that we are the most tolerant society in the world, where everyone is given a
chance. Yet, the male dominating society still tries to keep women behind, pushing them
back no mattter how well educated and skilled they are. Women throughout America,
unite and vote for Hillary!

Who the hell is Obama and where did he just appeared in the media?
I never heard of him until 8 months ago when he started to campaign begging for votes!
This guy does not have anything solid on his resume, except his good looks.
Thank you, but we've already got Paris Hilton, even though she is not that good looking.

New York State- WAKE UP! We need a real president such as Hillary not a celebrity like
Obama.

I am a loyal CNN viewer, but I have to say that I have been disheartened recently by their obviously biased coverage of this election. Obama HAS been given a free ride by the media and CNN has been the worst. I watch every evening and read cnn.com every morning; every headline in regard to Obama is how well he's doing in the polls, his awesome turnout at his appearances, how he is for change,etc. Change for WHAT exactly? He never says. Obama is a great motivational speaker, that's it. That's where it ends. He doesn't have anywhere near the amount of experience one needs to take on the task of being President after the Bush administration. He is not a straight-shooter like he claims to be. He can't tell you what he'll change, or how he do it. Watching people go crazy over Obama is really frightening for me. It reminds me of how many people could be led astray in Germany by Adolf Hitler! Obama seems to be a nice enough guy, but that doesn't make him President material. Seriously, this is the exact same way we got the President we have now, b/c people like him, he seemed like someone you would want to 'hang out' with,etc. The people I have who back Obama can't even tell me his stand on things, they "just like him"!!! This is a Presidential Election for a Country, not high school. It's sad to say, but you just have to apply the 80/20 rule in our country, even with elections. 80% of the general population is just plain stupid and have no logic. Sad, sad, sad.

How Ms Clinton so much emotion during the race over just one question. What is she going to do if she is elected to office and have to make serious decisions. Also why don't the candiates ever talk about what they are going to do for the Military Veterans. They are the one going to war and putting their lives on the line to let people in this country do what they want and that means even run for a political office. Congress wants to take away their VA benifits and don't want to give us a pay raise. But no one will stop them in giving themselfs a large raise. So I want to know what they are going to do to help the active military and the Retired personal.

Ex-President Clinton and his wife are grasping for straws! They are desperate because they are not honest with themselves to realize that the electorate wants a new direction to lead this country. We have had in the last 7 years a level of ineptness and backward leadership and now people are looking at someone who might be willing to change this nations future! I am voting for change and not the status quo any longer.

Hillary will get the job done. Obama's positions are only copies of Hillary's. I do not understand what change Obama would bring. He has not discussed any of the issues in detail that I have heard. Hillary knows the issues in detail and will accomplish her goals in office. If one wants change they can only find it in the ideas of the candidates. Personality has nothing to do with change. Solid ideas and experience will only bring change.

Obama talks too much. He talks of change, of new beginnings, but what does he plan to accomplish. I agree with Hillary, too much talk, not enough action or experience.

Romney For President!
And Why you ask…?

Ok, the Democrats…

Hillary :
She talk's alot about experience, but…what experience? Being a shady lawyer in a backwater state with a closet full of skeletons. Or maybe being the first lady now qualifies one to be the most powerful person in the world? NOT!

Obama :
He's always talking about change, the reason? Because he is a junior senetor who has very little experience in anything except local issues. So…presto "Change". This will all wear off soon. We have 11 Months to go and his message will wear thin early in that time.

Edwards :
He's just too angry, probably because he's been doing this for a few go rounds now and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

And the Republicans…

Huckabee :
Well gee wiz let me think of something. Christianity is his only message that resonates with anyone. So if that's your thing, he's your man. He's just not a candidate that can win…the nomination or the election.

Thompson :
Represents the current administration too much. You get the feeling he's getting his advice from Dick Cheney.

McCain :
He is a patriot, but thats sort of where it ends. Thanks for your service John! But It's just not gonna happen, whether you dilute the process by winning New Hampshire or not.

Ron Paul :
Great message. Getting back to the constitution, great. But many of his other ideas are just…out there. And he suffers an unelectable personality issue. Again, he's not going to win.

Giuliani :
Good man, was in the right place to handle the 9/11 crisis, but couldn't beat Hillary in a Senate race, why does he think he'll be President? Sorry Rudy.

So…Governor Romney. :
A guy who's a family man, finished at the top of his class, headed up an Olympics, has done great in business and knows how to run a government! None of the other candidates come close in terms of qualifications! Take a closer look for yourself and get behind the right person for the job!

America has come a long way. Geraldine Ferraro once quoted . . . "It was not long ago that people thought that semiconductors were part-time orchestra leaders and microchips were very, very small snack foods." Unquote. Let's not be naive this time around. Is this the time for a woman to lead in the White House? Yes! I do believe so! Senator Hillary Clinton is capable of leading and I believe she has the qualities and experience in making foreign and domestic decisions. She has chosen a path to run for president in a land she loves. A path of change and peace she believes is right. Win or lose Hillary Clinton is a winner. At this point she can claim the fact that she has made an historical difference and a positive impact on this country since the day the women had won the right to vote.

As a 72 year old daughter of a Kansan and someone who has felt so sad at how far down the USA has fallen in respect, I see Obama has our new hope. I am frightened that Clinton might win. I am suspicious of anyone who is driven by blind ambition.I get the impression she thinks she should be president by inheritance.When she talks about being a talker and rhetoric over reality, I want to jump through the TV.I would like to ask her how she would describe Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, FDR, Ghandhi, and the man who never held office but by words inspired beyond description, Martin Luther King.In Clinton's world, non of these men would be worthy to oppose her "great accomplishments."Her derision of women, her Tammy Wynette comments, her "I don't stay home and bake cookies." may very well come back to haunt her as well. I also find it hard to believe that the American people would be willing to allow nearly 3 decades of their presidency be controlled by two families. I cannot believe the American voters will allow democracy put at risk. I do think that will happen if the Bush,Clinton,Bush,Clinton parade continues.No candidate should be taking their election for granted because they feel they it is their divine right. A canamerican

Just a P.S. to my previous comment: Mr. President, if YOU ran today, you would be elected!!!! I would actively campaign for you.

Obama will be our next president. The Clinton-Bush dynasty must end.

I have never seen such a highly well financed campaign lose so much sleep over one primary before in my life. I am a Obama supporter, but anyone who follows the election should know by now that you cant win the Presidency nowadays without taking the South. The same goes for the primaries. If the Clintons were smart, they would concede the first two and work hard as galvanizing the women and pro Clinton vote for Super Tuesday instead of doing these onesie twosies with Obama over experience/change.

I think its ridiculous and an insult to the voters to make this about "likeability" and being "new". The next president will be a new president, we get it already. She needs to stay focused on how she can better affect change with a jacked up deficit and a contentious partisan Congress.

I think Hillary still has the best chance to get it done, but its unsettling to see her become unglued and rattled so quickly.

Sally
thanks for pointing out Barack's full name…i would never vote for a person with that name..or someone who is less than 5′-10 ….or wears plaid….let's discuss the candidates on merit shall we???

I think it is really interesting that most Americans would consider electing an individual with so little on his resume, what company in this great nation would hire a CEO with this experience, he graduated from law school in 1991? Graduating from Harvard or being a lawyer or the first for anything doesn't qualify you to be President. I am not judging Obama's character I am sure he is a really nice guy, but think about it we need to consider someone with more experience, this is definetly not a position that we should even consider, no matter how desperate everyone is for "CHANGE" to allow someone on the job training. I'd imagine he would make a great candidate in a few years. In the meantime I hope most Americans think about this and get it right this time.

Almost 30 yrs of Bushes and Clintons running America, that's the biggest problem facing America. Obama 08

I didn't like Hillary then in polotics
As a person she's okay in my book
Hillary has been a lame duck senator since she's been in NY.
If she hasn't done anything noticible for NY,
Whats to say shes going to do anything good on a grand scale?
If she wasn't associated with Bill, how much weight woud she be able to pull?
Watch her be the next Taft

please please STOP HER— BETWEEN THE TWO (HILLARY AND BILL)

WE WOULD HAVE A HILLBILLY IN THE WHITE HOUSE IF SHE IS ELECTED.

not only that david. she has a resume with 35 years of elected office experience to boot!

Oh wait, she only got elected once to the US Senate for NY

I agree, in 2008 why are women still dealing w/ ignorance and stero types?? We as a country should be beyond this! There have been multiple times Bush was seen getting emotional when he spoke about "his passion" for "his country" and that was fine so why sould Senator Cliton be held to a different standard?? I don't understand why some people are so afraid of a confident, capable women. Let's stick to politices and issues folks not age old stero types that don't help anyone in the long run!

January 7, 2008 11:58 pm ET

Is anyone paying attention to what a double standard has been set surrounding Hillary? If she is confident, assertive, makes an argument and defends her position, she's seen as being cold, unfriendly and "unlikeable." If she lets her guard down showing more emotion then she's seen as insincere, weak or incapable. It seems that no matter which side she shows, candidates, voters and the media are taking issue with it.

The other candidates in the race (both Democrats or Republicans) are supposed to be strong and aggressive and if they happen to show some emotion, then they are seen as being "more human" and "more likeable."

How is this viewpoint fair and in the best interest of our political system?

Hillary Clinton has the intelligence, strategies, experience and passion to change this great country to a great DIRECTION!!!

She has the leadship ability and will achieve what she said! Not only an excellent orator who promises anything only for cheating voters to support for him. Unfortunately, he never considered whether he can keep his promise or how to realize what’s he said. If a person says he can do anything, we should doubt his honesty, such as Obama! Change is good, but can change to a positive or negative direction! We should reminder 8 years ago, Bush also said changes.

Let’s support Hillary, because we love this country! We will not allow this country suffer another disastrous presidential term! I find the similarity between Barack Obama and George W. Bush!

I, too, think Sen. Obama would be a risk. I may vote for Sen. Obama in 8 years, when he has more experience but right now, I think he lacks the necessary experience to be a world leader. In a few more years, I'm sure he would have that experience. I beleive Sen. Clinton has the credentials needed at this time.

Wow I didn't realize America wasn't ready for a woman president until I heard the old same rhetoric and insults said about a women in man's world. Like…She's emotional, too passive today, too agressive tomorrow, too many moods, which Hillary will we see today as if it is PMS…her cackle laugh, old looking, pantsuit insults, her hair, her make-up, her relationship wth her husband…and etc.

America, I thought we were past that. I knew we were past most racist views but you still can't deal with a woman in a an authoritive position. Wow.

The media, aren't you tired of spinning…
whew

He may not be able to make her younger or taller, but… wait, what was the third thing he said?

People are so short-sighted. You just can't let the hate for Bill Clinton go, and can't believe that Hillary is her own person. What you have been able to let slip your mind is the condition the world was in when Bill was in office. We talk about the lack of rationale in the eastern countries where killing someone is a way of life; well, how do we differ here when we can still hate someone so bad, that we'll elect someone with the very same culture and background, as what we're losing our men and women in uniform over.

When its printed that our country will be destroyed from within - and all you Clinton haters are working against Hillary (no woman should ever be more successful than a man as history has shown) you will take a chance on someone who has ties to the Muslim culture - because he talks a good talk.

He's nice to look at, but so is George Clooney. Would we all vote for George Clooney to be President - because he is articulate and handsome. Maybe we should think about Chuck Norris who is Huckabee's recent side kick - everyone loves his movies.

Get a grip on yourselves because I hope that whoever does become President, the first thing she should do is look for some decent, honest, nonpartisan journalists and reporters and news people - who just report the news, and not their own opinions because they're looking to make a star out of an unknown.

You've printed and admired every sarcastic word the current administration has spewed into your face, dastardly, evil inuendos possible, and the actions of all the Republicans who have been arrested, some indicted and jailed for their scurrilous activities, most liberated in the courts or by the President, and yet, you turn around and continue to beat up on the Clintons. Maybe some day we can all be privy to having your lives laid out on the internet, every minute detail about your personal life - so grossly stated as was done to Bill Clinton while you all sat back and gloated……………………….I'll wait.

Be careful what you wish for - you may just get it! I may be 75, but I still have my senses.

Exactly, Mike.
It is just like every election - the media can play God with all of the candidates; they can spin comments and events as much as either party.

For all of us who can't quite make up our minds, it is unfortunate if the tide turns due to a push by the media.

An Obama/Clinton ticket sounds good; either one in charge is fine with me.

Every democrat knows that Hillary would make a very good president, she is very knowledgeable, extremely intelligent and a hard worker.

The problem for her is that she lacks the leader's charisma that Obama has. Unfortunately for Hillary, the very same weapon that brought Bill Clinton to the WH, is making the difference in favor of Obama today.

Who was a better PRESIDENT (…not husband) than Bill Clinton? Seriously

Bill left us with a balanced budget and Hillary will participate in the Pledge to the
flag of this Great Country.

Hillary emotional?….
com'on stop kiddin me.
She's only breaking down as she's beginning to perceive imminent loss.
Don't see her as being real.
Go Obama or Edwards !!

hehe, my comments keep getting blocked out! What I keep trying to say is the doesn't CNN understand Bill was being humurous making a pun on what Edwards wife said???

It really seems as if CNN has basically annointed Obama the nominee.

Its very disturbing to see this play out. I am on the fence about these two, but I am pretty sure at this point the way the media is playing it Obama will win.

Don't worry guys…just like the rest of us who have been complaining about Bush for the past 8 years suffering, you'll get to complain about Obama when he takes the White House.

OBAMA '08 & '20016

I think Obama with little experience is playing around like he just wants to win the game. Once the game is won, he won't know what to do with what he won. We're not into a game, we're dealing with the United States of America. And the place for the leader, is someone of great experience that knows what to do when the Talibans come knocking at our door.
Yes, we need Hillary to be our leader and a great leader she will be if chosen.

Wow - so now you can't have a strong character AND any type of emotions at all? I thought that the two traits could complimenteach other. There is a difference between showing your caring, human, compassionate side, and having out-of-control emotions that take you down the wrong path.

Perhaps we should have a robot for President - one who won't care that young people are dying overseas, or that children all over the world are starving, or that so many people in this country can't treat a diagnosis of cancer because the insurance company's CEO needs a new yacht.

Oh….wait……we already have that President!

I believe Hillary Clinton to be a strong, compassionate and intelligent woman.
I would trust here over robot-man anytime!
As for Bill, I agree with the statement that perhaps EVERYONE's spouse should be followed around, and all of their inappropriate, but well-intended comments, be shown on TV.

I'd love to see the both of them (Obama and Clinton) in the White House when it's all said and done. Preferrably with Obama as the President of the United States, and Hillary as the second in command.
I don't know exactly what is going on with former President Clinton, but his comments strike me as odd, and certainly uncharacteristic. He has done a great deed for this nation, in serving two terms but nothing lasts forever.
This is year 2008, not 1993! I completely understand that the baby boomers of yesterday hold much weight in today's politics. However, this is the age of the 80's babies. They are turning out at polling stations like no other generation has at such young ages and making it known that they are truly a force to be reckoned with. They are tomorrows leaders and anyone who seeks office must secure it's base. It is because of those guys that I can envision not only a female VP, but more so a black male as president of the USA? Change is a slow process, and very necessary in this instance. How many young adults do you know between the ages 18 and 27, who are the least bit pleased with the doings of today's Republican Party? Change is a coming… it's a new day and age in America.

Hillary is the best from the Democratic side, but she must have a complex when she refers to having feelings "not like some may think". We all know you have feelings and you probably are genuine. Don't degrade yourself. We all want to see the true Hillary so we have something tangible from the Democrats to vote for. Come on Democrats… give us a reason to vote for you!!

If Obama or Clinton become president while the Democrats control Congress, the only change we will get will be the spare change left in our pockets. Is there any doubt that the right thing to do is elect John McCain. He will cut wasteful government spending while also providing the strong experienced foreign policy leadership the country needs. Vote McCain.

i am a 65 year old black, american mail, who has and is living the american dream i have a masters degree in business and have ben sucessful in my business, i have watched a lot of elections for president doing my time, most have ben slanted to keep america, under white control, i belive it is time for change,and i belive obama is the one to make that change,menny speak of his experiencs i dont re-call in american history that we have a school for presidental training, if we do i am shure mr,bush did not attend or he failed, it seems to be a on the job training position,i belive the key is to soround your self with staff that has the ability to help you make the right decision,s for the people and country,and i dont belive they should be old white men who have spent a life time learning to, lie,cheat,swindle,&work behind closed doors for self gain as mr, bush and his group has done, our goverment should be transparent,the president should tell the truth,which this president hasent don,i belive obama can bring people from both side,s of the isle with new and fresh ideas that will put this country back where it belongs on the world stage.IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE, WE NEED HEALTH & CHILD CARE, JOBS,AFFORDABLE HOUSING,HELP WITH EDUICATION,ETC.

Hey guys, you did get my post up there, thanks.!!!! 1/7 9:15 pm et.

I wonder if anyone at this site has any comment about it ?

IF Obama does not win the White House………….

Will he do the Odinga and refuse to concede?

I might also add to might last comment that all of you Obama supporters who are dumping on Hillary now will need her supporter's votes if he is the Democratic nominee..turning off her supporters through your negative blogging is not going to help you in the future.

Having a Republican in the White House again guarantees the continuation of the Iraq war, spiralling debt, and a long recession.

Anonymous * … it's those who are blind who cannot accept it…. those who take the Bible (with all its discrepancies and contradictions) as the infallible "word of God". Geeze, wouldn't you think God could have been consistent instead of contradicting himself? … Wouldn't you think he could have figured out that the sun and stars don't revolve around the Earth? … Wouldn't you think he could have known the world wasn't flat and that "heaven" wasn't up while "hell" was down?
… Wouldn't you think he could have given us a correct reflection of the universe? … You evidently worship a pretty stupid god.

Hillary didn't break down. She got chocked up, and thank God she did. It made me realize that she DOES care, and that this race IS personal to her. It made me realize the depth of which she feels for this, our, Country. People, stop judging. Use your heads.

I like Barrack. I like John. And I like Hillary. But who do I think is the best candidate for the Presidency? Hillary Clinton. I DO think experience matters. Think about this: Obama didn't even finish his FIRST term as a Senator before jumping on the Presidency bandwagon. Would you hire a lawyer who bailed out of law school? Or a doctor who didn't finish his/her residency? Seriously? It feels great to have this surge of energy, but what will happen in the long run? I believe all three candidates are sincere about wanting to bring about change for this Country. It's just that Hillary is the only one that is ready now and in a position to do so. And will.

Hillary does not need to be younger nor taller nor prettier. She is who she is and she is just fine being who she is. I'm not voting in a popularity contest, not a beauty pagent and who can rythm more when they speak. I am voting for the best qualified person to be president and that requires action….past actions. Gauge your candidates based on the content of their resume and not their sex nor their looks. In this case, Hillary is the overwhelmingly obvious winner for me. You have my vote HILLARY and it is because you have the experience to make me feel secure about the future. You have my vote also because I have a wife, a daughter and a mother and I pray that when my daughter grows up she will no longer face the double standards I have seen on this national stage against you. I hope that the future will be brighter for my daughter as she will have a strong woman president to refer to and know that it is women like you who have defy the odds in this society to give her the true equality she deserves in this world. GO HILLARY! GOD BLESS.

Anonymous? I don't blame you for signing "Anonymous". If you are a pastor, and still support Bush, then you support someone who is willing to lie, cheat, commit crimes, appoint totally incompetent underlings, and murder babies, women and innocent men. You support someone who is willing to torture detainees who are innocent of any type of crime (but who have been turned over by someone with a grudge, or someone who wants to gain favor). You support a war against a selected tyrant and not others. You support an incompetent and stupid president who pretends to be Christian (when Christ wasn't about any of these things you evidently support).

My guess is you also don't believe in evolution, which has now been so massively evidenced, it's those who are blind.

There are various wise quotes in the Christian Bible, and one of them is "None is so blind is the man who will not see".

Anonymous? You need an eye exam.

Hillary; we need a strong character person as president, not a cry baby. Are you going to get emotional when you can't cope with Bin laden or the Taliban? or it's just a show to get sympathy.

You people make me vomit. You profess your blind love to these candidates — but in reality, you have no idea who will make a good president. You can't know. That's the whole point of democracry. If there was one correct political viewpoint, we'd all be part of the same party. Anyone who puts forth any sorth of exuberance towards one candidate is an idiot, and should have their voting privileges revoked.

Politicians distort the facts to get elected..check out http://www.factcheck.org..Hillary distorts about her own record and about Obama, and vice-versa..no one is innocent on this one.

Supporters distort the facts to support their candidate..people who afraid of Obama because they think he is Muslim or anti-American do so out of fear, ignorance, and discrimnation.

Both (Hillary and Obama) will have a tough time against the Republican nominee.
Hillary will polarize the Republican base to vote against her, Obama will have a tough time due to inexperience and the built-in racism among voters in the American south.

Hillary might be the best choice, but all of you Hillary supporters who are dumping on Obama now will need his supporter's votes if she is the Democratic nominee..turning off his supporters through your negative blogging is not going to help you in the future.

As I watched Hillary's angst, spread out for public consumption like a deli buffet, I couldn't help but wonder how she would react if Al Qaeda managed to launch another attack anything close to the scale of New York. Would she quietly but with determination send our military around the world to identify, locate and exterminate those who are the network that is islamic fascism? How would she fare in the midst of a battle with a Republican led Congress that is determined to deny her her desired legislative agenda? How would she deal with constant negative press and persistent twitting by the mainstream media (oh, I forgot…this is Hillary….she wouldn't get negative press as President). One of two things is true. Either she is too emotionally unstable to be President, being under the constant, 24/7 stress that being Commander in Chief demands, or; this entire Barbie doll breakdown in New Hampshire (at which the cameras were rolling) was another "wag the dog" contrivance on the part of the Clinton campaign. Either way, Hillary's best days as a national platform politician are behind her. And, an added benefit of her backing out of the Presidential race is that such a move would decrease, exponentially, the likelihood that we'd have to cringe in fear about an attempted Bill Clinton run for the White House in 2012.

I have been the Pastor of several churches in 19 years of ministry. In each of those four churches, my wife has stood faithfully beside me. It goes without saying that my ministry is enhanced by her presence. But it DID NOT prepare her to preach, nor did it prepare her to lead a congregation. Likewise Hillary's "hanging around" Bill's dallying self did NOT prepare her to be the president. On the resume given above, Ms Araktingi says that she is an attorney, and that makes her a civic leader…..GAG!. Two of her other "leadership" experiences have to do with being a President's wife and a Governor's Wife. My argument stands. Being the wife of a President and a Governor no more prepared her to run this country than my 36 years of marriage to a Dental Assistant prepared me to pull your teeth.

Micahel,

Look in the mirror. Your post only shows that YOU are the "INCOMPETENT LIAR". Try posting this crap in some bs forum. Not here buddy. Sorry.

Desperate times require desperate measures, I hope we are finally through with these two.

Go Cubs

Hi, Vince! Please know I'm very poor. But who knows…. I might win the lottery! If I did, we could both decide which best charity to give to. Anyway, good luck to your presidential choice and I sincerely pray that the U.S.A. will be blessed with a
strong and respected leader.

None of these candidates in either party are truly addressing whats wrong with this country. The only person who truly has a platform of change is the guy who wants to completely overhaul our government. It's a new modern-day revolution in this country that simply doesn't adhere to more of the same business as usual. Ron Paul is a constitutionalist and the only candidate that speaks the truth about our state of affairs and has a real plan to remedy it. No wars w/o declaration, freedom and liberty, small constitutional government. This is the new revolution. No Hillary, No Obama, No Huckabee, No McCain - you have to look at Ron Paul and listen to his message. He's the only choice we have for fixing the messes that both parties have established for more than 1/2 a century.

I like Eric's comments. Billery needs to retire. We don't want you two back in the White House!

Ms Araktingi:

Being a lawyer is evidence of civic leadership? Give me a break! It is the legal profession that has prostituted the legislative process to the extent that even the government is unwilling to take over public campaign financing, and tort awards are out of the stratosphere. Two of Hillary's "leadership" positions were as Bill's wife. I have pastored four churches, and my wife was standing by my side throughout that entire time (19 years). But to say she is the leader of our congregation? hardly. She will be the first to tell you that she wants no part of the political connivance that, sadly, also takes place in the ecclesiastical world as well.

When I saw Hillary having her breakdown in that cafe, my first thought is how she would have reacted to a Republican controlled Congress that managed to stymie all of her legislative agenda. Or, news that iran had just attacked an embassy somewhere (a reality that, in my own mind, hasn't happened precisely because of the man currently holding the office of President). There are, without a doubt, women in this country whose emotional strength would be of great benefit in the office of President. But, Hillary Clinton isn't one of them. Wake up, America, before it is too late!

Shame on you, Michael. You sound like the Swift Boaters who would rather be dishonest and try to defame someone with total lies than listen to what he's saying and look at his true background. I bet you haven't read his book "The Audacity of Hope". If you had, you would notice he's a genius.

But, I thought your type of slam and besmirch was owned more by the Repugs than the Dems. Evidently I was wrong.

PS: I met to ask as to what is Hillarious Clintons true lifestyle……

The more things change the more they stay the same – ever hear that?

ch-ch-ch- changes – Ziggy – yeh – now there’s an agent for change!

“Change for Dummies” read that yet? Yours for $19.95, but wait, there’s more, send in your money today and we will also send you the next sure to be best seller – “How to win elections and influence the electorate”.

there once was a man named Obama
who spoke of a land called Nirvana
he said change was his game and hope was his name
and all the people who heard this would follow

time for business – need to fly to New Hampshire – let’s see, new airline been in business a couple of years, young pilots with enough hours to pilot the plane, just not that many hours under their belt. Or, other airline, been in business long time now with pilots with a gazillion hours of flight time, maybe 35 years worth – decisions – decisions. Got some change? Flip a coin and hope for the best.

There once was a girl named Hillary
Who married a man named Bill
Wife, mother, first lady and senator all
Were titles she carried yet still –
“Experience – that’s just so old school!”
“Wake up smell the coffee you old fool!”
“You’re so yesterday in this new world!”
chanted the masses as they rushed by her shouting -
….all on their little rabbits feet.

“And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
There's no tellin' who that it's namin'
The loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'” BD

Hillary's emotional moment came yesterday because she is seeing her long awaited (and over the last year, expected) dream of the presidency disappear before her eyes because of Obama's now unstoppable momentum.

She's done and she knows it. Thus, the tears….

She'll make a great cabinet member or Senate Majority Leader.
Alot of great people haven't been able to win the presidency. Add Senator Clinton to that list.

It is so refreshing to realize that the american public has finally overcome bigotry and ignorance and are thinking of the best person that can work with everybody without prejudices and misconceptions.I know the USA is still a baby in conparison with Africa, Europe and Asia but it was time to grow up and behave like smart and educated adults.

As much as I appreciate Senator Clinton we really need someone who believes in the concept that politicians work for the people not the other way around.

Congratulations Senator Obama. You completely deserve to be recognized for uniting most of the people for the good of all the people.
You can count on my partipation support and vote.

Just make the Clintons go away - will be great for our country. Hopefully, it will be a 'blue ribbgon trail' for Mitt Romey all the way to the White House. He will bring us change and all for the good. God bless Mitt Romney…….

Unbelievable….simply….unbelievable!

The muslim nation must be sitting back and laughing their butts off at the prospect of "one of their own" being President of the United States.

Americans are proving…in general…to be idiots. How else do you explain voting George Bush in office TWICE…and now….voting for an INCOMPETENT LIAR like Barack Obama.

Think people…THINK…!

Bush beat out Gore because inexperienced George Bush clamored about change and leading this country in a new direction (despite have no experience). What he did have was MORE FLAIR than Gore…and the idoits in American bought into that FLAIR instead of looking at the records and experience of both candidates.

Hilliary Clinton was battling against Republicans for decades while Obama was hiding out at the university discussing ideals with freshman students. She is "hands down" the most knowledgable candidate in the Democratic Party.

The Bill Clinton presidency was some of the best eight years we've had in the past 30 years….and yet….for some RIDICULOUS REASON….people are forgetting that and spewing forth hatred for Hilliary.

Hilliary should have neutered Barack Obama and John Edwards challenge of the "status quo". If the "status quo" brings us back to the type of country we were under Bill Clinton's presidency…then Americans should be supporting the movement 100% instead of playing around with inexperienced candidates that have never brought about change in their entire careers.

Barack Obama is a racist (see the church he attends), closet muslim (family influence), with little experience (freshman Senator), and NO HISTORY of making any type of real change (the amount of times he skipped voting on measures as a Senator).

And…if he goes on to win…he will represent a third straight term of INCOMPETENCE in the White House.,,and a third straight term of American's going with emotions rather than using their brains.

Obama!

One thing I am tired of is politicians saying our country would be at risk for voting for someone. That is what Bush said and the country could not be any worse off.

There are a ton of posts here asking America to get past the gender issue and in the very same sentence make statements like "how about voting for a woman for a change." Then they go on to say it's okay that Hillary choked up but when Musky, a man, cried his campaign ended.

Never mind the issues. When Hillary is discussed it always comes down to "how about voting for a woman for a change" or "imagine what a woman as President will do for other women." So what if Hillary's health care program is unfunded and will cost tax payers more than they pay now. So what if she flip flops on Iraq and made a grand speech on the Senate floor emphatically stating she knew Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. So what if she puts down homemakers by making comments like "I could have stayed home having teas." Let us all vote for her simply because she's a woman.

That's as stupid as voting for Huckabee simply because he has religion.

She said "it's personal" and you better believe her. It's all about the ego, not about you, me, us, the country. She wants that golden crown so bad, she cried in front of everyone when she realized she may not get it. Weed out the egomaniacs and find a candidate that may actually be in the race for their beliefs, wanting to attempt to make the country better for us.

McCain in '08

Bill, you apparently cant make her into the only woman you want to make whoopie with either.

the obama train and the zombie voters, stops in Nevada

The Clintons and their supporters are showing their true colors in this campaign. While they may have different positions on issues than Bush, they essentially are the same. Resort to fear-mongering to get votes and to scare the public away from a candidate who is trying to inspire Americans to get involved and be a part of this process. People are tired of this brand of politics and the sentiment expressed by "Jeff from New Jersey". I'm sorry Jeff but we are not afraid, you can't scare us into voting for your candidate. It's time to end this brand of politics, and move onto a brand of politics that is positive, hopeful, inclusive, and inspires Americans to be a part of the process.

Jeff, jeez guess you got yourself really worked up. Hillary cries, whines and Bill pulls the "hillbilly" husband routine. Get over it. Clinton's got less experience in elected office than any Democrat running except Edwards. Gave Bush a blank check on both Iran and Iraq, tries another "mandated" health plan that crashed in the 90's and is straight out of Massachusetts' current disaster authored by Romney.

Clinton's a bright, effective and formidable campaigner plus a great Senator from New York. At 57, I'm not one of those kids that her campaign claims is empowering Obtama. What I have is a terminal case of "Clinton Fatigue". The Nineties are over and both Clinton's time has come AND gone.

Just imagine four years of embarrassment about Bill's continued womanizing. The leopard doesn't change his spots, and if you think Bill has reformed, you also look for another dollar from the tooth fairy.

Bill Clinton was a gift in his time…This is a new time and Obama is our gift for this time..He has researched all areas where our country is struggling and his new ideas are well thought out. This from a 78 year old Democrat woman.

I think that Bill Clinton will be happy if Hillary does not get the democratic nomination, because as a extremely clever politician he realizes that she will lose
against McCain. So, he wishes to spare himself the many months of useless campaigning and more important, to avoid the perception that her failure will be
his own failure and so darken his image as a ever succesful stateman.

And possibly, unconscientously, he does not like much to play publicly the second fiddle to his wife!

If you can't win by being manly, cry a little. If crying doesn't help, call on the husband. If Husband can't help, go under the knife and look younger and sexier…Sadly, husband said, he can't perform such surgery.. Oh well!
What some people will do to get elected…

Wanna put some money on that, lola?

I'm very uncomfortable that we have so many of our 40years and less voting for Mr. Obama but yet when the same people are being asked what his positions are - they don't know or don't even care as per CNN news report out of Iowa & N.H.

Well I belong to the 60 and over growd and I want to remind all of our voters just to think back what happend after the Nixon years. We where so fet up with the republicans, that we put somebody new and fresh, oh yes, no secrets was the spin at that time. Well we got Jimmy Carter, and during his years we had to deal with the Hostages taken in Iran, Interest rates up to 19% and high unemployment.

Please people wake up and research the candidates history and his/hers accomplishments before making your judgement.

It want do us any good, if the next president ends the war in Iraq and gets us involved in a confrontation on another continent.

I do have a problem with Mr. Obama always remarking that he did not vote for the war in Iraq - I'm shocked, that none of our press is asking him what he new at that time what nobody else knew??? What ever he knew he should have shared with Colen Paule, just maiby the men would have not gone infront of the UN and laid out the fact that Sadam H. had WMDs???
It can't be, that Mr. Obama is opposed to war, because he said, that he would send trops into Darfor/Sudan???
Please forgive if my grammer is not perfect, english is my second language.

I live in Wisconsin were my Grandmother-in-law will not vote for Hillary Clinton because she feels the presidency is a man’s job. Also, my five year old daughter has just found out that there has never been a woman president and would prefer the first female president to be either herself or her older sister. It amazes me to watch my daughter’s faces every time they find out something new about women’s history in the USA. For example; they were shocked that women could not always vote. Moreover, that women obtained this right to vote five years before their great-grandmother (mentioned earlier) was born. Personally, I am torn between Obama, Clinton and Edwards. However, when I hear news reporters state that women under 30 years of age are not voting for Clinton because they have not experienced gender discrimination, I am flabbergasted. I cannot believe this is the major contributing factor in their decision to vote for Obama. If so, I hope that we teach our daughters just how valuable our rights and history are as women. (Maybe if I only had sons I would see the world differently?)

jesslyn james: "It was then that I realized how much I love America….and how sad it has become. There no longer is any pride in being American….my God….how did this happen?

Oh ye of little faith. I am an Englishman who stood (and still stands) shoulder to shoulder with Tony Blair, my ex Prime Minister, when he declared to the US Congress that he stood shoulder to shoulder with America (over 9/11) in its hour of need. Throughout the Iraq war I have witnessed frequently American forces boys and girls fighting and dying for their country. And I have witnessed British soldiers getting wounded and dying as well. Each time I have heard of these deaths (British or American) I have felt so very sad; but oh so very proud. I feel for their loved ones every time.

I am sickened to hear American's proclaiming that "there is no longer any pride in being American".

There is much wrong with America and I will concede that; but given the choice of the American way of life - with its freedom and democracy free expression and right of choice, and ISLAM; with all of its oppressions; and its intent to world domination; is the real choice both Americans and British must make today. America, and Americans, wake up. HOMELAND SECURITY. This is the real big issue that is at stake in this Presidential election.

If you have 'no pride in being American' - you cannot be American. And you do not deserve the vote.

I like Obama, but for now, HILLARY is the best and will be the next President of the United States. GO HILLARY!!!!!!

Crying on national television!!!! I was wavering between Hillary and Obama but when I saw Hillary tearing up at that news conference all I could imagine was her sitting at the desk in the Oval Office of the White House, things getting tough, not going the way she wanted them to go and she sits there and cry!!!! Not a good picture!!! Not a good move Hillary!!! My vote is going for Obama for sure now!!!

I posted this once already, but I guess socks the cat ate my last post!

Has anyone on CNN or other news outlets counted how many times BOO!
( Barak O Obama) as I call him , said the word change in ONE speech?

Quite frankly America will get tired of hearing that word real fast folks, Any one
realize that its going to take more than change to change America, with the changes it needs? After Bush anyone would be a change!! How about voting
for a woman for a change. I'm not going to use that dirty word again. ok.

Wake up America, lets not make the same voting mistakes again, we're not voting
for the GUY to go to the allstar game. Let's not vote for the cute guy, the cute guy
the fun guy, the eloquent but hollow speech guy, that dumbs down our election.

Lets vote for change by voting for experience, intelligence, and ideas on solutions.

by the way , change is the stuff you find under your sofa cushion.

oops I did it again, I said the dirty word.

Go Hillary!

Many people, including myself, have wondered about Hillary's electability. Are Obama's chances better? I doubt it. Guess what? Any time you have experience, you have baggage. But it's still better to have someone who's been in the game for awhile to lead. Obama has a good start and may fare well better in the future, but hell, he just got out of the mail room; he's just too immature for the front office this soon.

President Clinton is responding to the polls, probably a mistake but hard to ignore. I believe Hillary Clinton is far smarter, way more experienced, and is likeable, if given a chance. Obama is a dreamer, and that's not always a bad thing, but he has some issue points that are problematic as well, including his approval of faith-based organizations as operators of Government programs (didn't we get this from Bush?), a continuing support of the always failing War on Drugs (Geez, I hope the War on Terror isn't this stupid), etc. He just doesn't believe in the Democratic principles the way I do. Hillary reflects my beliefs more succinctly.

And as far as Hillary being the first woman president, well, other countries have had women to serve them very well as President or Prime Minister. How long can America shy away from women in power without being seen as ridiculously out-of-step with the way of the modern world?

Patrick, are there young voters in those big states? If not, then your predictions will be right, but, if there are young voters, the same thing will happen…

Hiliary Clinton has a long history of active Civic Leadership.

A Lawyer, Governor's wife, President's wife, Congress Woman.

From Park Ridge, Illinois, a graduate of Yale Law School, Mother, Wife, Daughter, Politician.

It appears her Life History reflects her strong-will and true devotion to DUTY" for the American People.

History is in our Hands.

Vote!!

I am a staunch Democrat and think Hillary is quite capable. However, the thought of seeing Bill Clinton again for at least four more years, together with the suspicion both he and Hillary elicit, makes it impossible for me to support her. I read her near-weepy remarks in New Hampshire as being totally contrived. They just aren't authentic people…they care about their own legacy…especially Bill.
Finally, I would like to ask Hillary if Laura Bush would also have "experience" to be President, given that she and Hillary share a resume, in-part, as being former First Ladies of states and the U.S. Hillary has cut off her own nose by using this as her experience. It brings a reminder of the Clinton scandals that kept Bill preoccupied while the terrorists plotted. They had their day in the sun…filled with a lot of clouds. Bill ruined it for Hillary.

To chaos45 and Dan thank God people are seeing through obama! Obama is anti-American,anti-jew anti-hispanic .he does not answer any questions at his brainwashing rallies,he plays music to get the people going,and so nobody can hear him after the speech,in case someone asks him a hard question.Fox yesterday finally said on national t.v. that he is anti-American.He wants to change the world,and he means that. thats why is is so sincere.The thing is its scary change,He is going to meet with the muslim leaders fo the world when he is pres, and he will be one of them..And who is he going after now ? our young people! He thinks he can get the black voters because he's half black. wrong .

My Goodness…seems like we have a well-organized mass of Hillary operatives out en force to give the impression that this comment board reflects a "pro-Hillary" stance. Er, sorry you guys. We don't buy it. You know why? Because this is EXACTLY the type of "Old Guard" smoke & mirrors campaign trick which is turning people off from Hillary in DROVES! You can't fool us anymore with your "business-as-usual" campaigns and "Washington Insiders" terms of office.

Obama will give Shrillary the biggest drubbing of her career…and you know what? SHE DESERVES IT!!! She is the most hypocritical, fake, candidate to show up in years. So…keep filling up this board with comments, ostensibly from "normal, regular ol' citizens", but get this: We're NOT buying it.

[memo to Shrillary zealots: the noise you hear after Super Tuesday will be me laughing.... as Obama moves into the general election, and the Hill'ster heads back to Washington, astonished and wondering how her plans could have been dashed so completely by someone who didn't know "the game" as well as her]

Its quite incredible how politics works in this country. You have 30 percent of the country who still stands behind George W Bush, even with all of his transgressions the past 7 years. I'm amazed that Hillary Clinton is still polling in double digits, she has run a travesty of a political campaign. Clinton's support is made up of the same type of people that still support George Bush. Clinton supporters are stubborn and refuse to look at the race from an unbiased standpoint. They stick to Clinton regardless of what she says or does, and nothing is going to change their vote. Bill Clinton was better than George W Bush so therefore let's arbitrarily elect his wife because we pre-emptively decided she was the best candidate. Barack Obama is not the most experienced candidate, but does have experience. He's not the perfect candidate but he's the right candidate for the country at this point in our history. A good portion of the American public is fed up with the fact that America is no longer a representative democracy that operates for the people and by the people. Partisan politics which have drifted into the extreme have ripped this country apart, and we need a President who is a leader, who can unite, and who can inspire America to a better tomorrow. One person can't fix this country, its something we all have to do together. Senator Obama gets it, and embraces such a fact. It's not blind optimism and its not a false hope, we can right this country, we just need to do it together.

Can't find anywhere else to contact CNN, so am using this venue:

As someone who has watched every single primary, convention and election since I was in diapers, I consider myself to be fairly savvy in my understanding of the election process. However, CNN's graphics during the Iowa caucuses were so confusing as to mystify even an extremely interested and serious viewer. You made my head hurt as I try to figure out what your pie charts represented and how your numbers and break-downs added up.

C'mon now … aren't we trying to pull in viewers AND voters? Let's remove some of the visual bells and whistles to we can understand what is happening during the assorted upcoming polling processes.

You know, I CAN't watch Fox, so … a little help?

Senator CLinton will win in the big states and it will all come down to Cali.

Hillary is to divisive! She will never attract as many independents or republicans than Barack Obama has. Now sheis dividing the democratic party between men and women. Clinton's supporters how will she get enough votes in a general election. Please explain anyone, dont worry i'll wait. Obama 08

Maybe if he could make her younger, he wouldn't have to chase the interns.

It's all about ****POWER*****….Hillary/Billary can't stand the idea of not living in the White House again.

My heart and prayers are with Hillary Clinton through this presidential campaign. People in this world need to start having a heart inside of them and stop displaying so much negativity of who will be the best for president of the United States. Everywhere you go all you see, hear and read with this presidental campaign is he said she said things. Instead we need to learn more about these people as individuals who are running for president and how they are going to change the United States to make it a better world to live in. We have people who hold a grudge on Hillary because of Bill's actions when he was president. We need to learn not to judge people for others mistakes they have done in life. When I saw Hillary Clinton have tears roll up in her eyes this morning, I know inside it wasn't just about being president for her. This women is taking this campaign to heart. She see's what this world is turning too. She wants to be able to make that change for our country. I feel that communication is a key factor in Changing the World Today. We need to stop displaying so much hate and crimes in the world today but instead display the good this world has accomplished. When you turn on the radio, television, or even go on the internet, what is the first thing we see? A robbery, killing, or drug trafficking. What kind of example is that setting for our economy today? What is this displaying for our children? I have full confidence in Hillary Clinton when she is elected president that she will address these matters and make our country safe for ourselves and our children. I have full confidence that Hillary Clinton will bring our men and women home to there families from Iraq to protect our country and start addressing the issues that are occurring in our world today.
