		<description>Had this happened in a former Soviet republic such as Ukraine or Georgia the Western world would have cried foul doubting the election process. I have to assume it has to do with big-time media manipulation making Clinton’s lead a few weeks back of 15 percent in the polls turned in to narrow victory looking like a comeback. Meantime Obama is perceived like a loser while getting 36 % of the vote (only losing by 3 % to Clinton) in a mainly white state with lots of hardcore liberal Democrats. But it goes beyond perception. The media fraud in failing to report how things actually
stood could have persuaded many Obama supporters not to bother voting and independents choosing to cast a vote for McCaine.
  
Another thought. It is strange that the USA media is criticizing Putin for trying to find loopholes to extend his rule beyond the intention of the constitution while not raising the same issue when it comes to the Clintons.

But to me the most disappointing is that Clinton won despite her arrogant gesture to run thereby (should she eventually win the general election) denying a future truly deserving woman to become the first female President on her own merits. I still hope the American people sooner rather than later will put an end to this form of Banana Republic politics.

Normally I would not care so much for a Democratic primary but after years of harmful Republican (Bush) borrow and spend policies I’m afraid the country is right to be ready for good old tax and spend Democrats.</description>

		<description>I do not agree that women are a force behind Hillary.  I have  discussed this with many, many people and get the same answer:  Women dislike Hillary and will not vote for her.  How can so many opposites exist?</description>

		<description>I believe in experience in every field of life.  Since when experience doesn&#039;t count?
What matters is experience with the positive attitude. If we are setting experience is nothing I think we need to advise all those HR people working hard to get the right person fro the job! Obama onestly experience really matters!!</description>

		<description>Some woman just like the power thing, they don&#039;t care whom they back as think they are going to get more power. Instead of getting the right way.
Clinton did the wrong they it was a play she was doing, she knew she was going to loss, so she called in the big guns and big money to help her get it too, she dosen&#039;t care for the poor of USA or the lower mid classes either.

She wants the woman whom make big money.. I do think think their is one person whom should have won this election was Edwards and Obama, though truelth and not lies from Clinton, oh, they are calling me names, she is big bussiness and big lobbies too.

My husband I don&#039;t live above our means and never have either and we can&#039;t any help from our state at all, because of Bushes people. and our senates and reps of house, because after all the poor should get nothing at all.

We made last year 8,000.00. We have pay our health care insurance and etc. We haven&#039;t food or money to buy heat for our home no money, my husband did spc/qa work and he is great at it too, until Bush got into office and everything got shipped oversea&#039;s and amercian companies know that they could get away with not having programs in places. Because big bussiness dosen&#039;t care about that part of it. They want the big money and big returns instead.

I have fibrmylia and I can&#039;t get SS I am not sick enough, I also have asthma and hypertenion, when I got hurt on job WC said, I wasn&#039;t sick enough and I was making it all up. I worked a local hospital in this area isn&#039;t a great or careing hospital in this area, trust me ownly if you are from this town they don&#039;t want to hear you at all.

Clinton did nothing for me. She dosen&#039;t listen at all.. She is just like being a GOP in a dress and that why she dosen&#039;t really care about people like me and husband and work all our lives for what to be all taken away from us. Raised our children and even sent one son of to Iraq and came back with PTSD and what she really doing for VETS of this war.

WE NEED HELP NOW and WE NEED OUR JOBS to come back to this country and WE NEED TO THINK of PEOPLE OF USA first.

SHE can bring down price of oil tooo</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t underestimate the lift that was given to Hilliary due to her showing of strength and deportment in handling Bill O&#039;Reilly at one of her campaign stops the day before the primary.  Dems hate O&#039;Reilly.  Indeed, this contributed to her surprising, unforecasted result.</description>

OPEN YOUR EYES let&#039;s get in control of this country.  I know you all know that a woman can do a better job.  Think out of the box.</description>

		<description>What is the deal here ??? Do I detect that the CNN people were dragging their feet at showing Hillary&#039;s popularity ?? I got the distinct feeling they were rooting for Obama to win.  Well all you CNN Obama fans, she won.....deal with it.    I think she is the smartest candidate by far and she does have much more experience than he does.  I don&#039;t think he is tough enough, we can&#039;t have a President cause he is a nice guy.</description>

		<description>All it took was tears and talking about hair.  That while bashing hope and others, claiming you are the party of positive at the same time.

Wow.... how easily people are duped.


Bill Clinton walks out there and talks like he is running.  Hey women, vote for my wife!  She is so great, I lied to her and cheater on her.  But forget that and everything else... she is better than a fairy tale.</description>

		<description>First and foremost, Congratulations to Senator Clinton.  It&#039;s presidential politcs, and she did what she had to do to make this comeback. 

But a HUGE second..... FINALLY..... FINALLY.... YOU WOMEN UNDERSTAND WHA T IT IS LIKE TO HAVE YOUR MOTIVES QUESTIONED... FOR EXAMPLE... 
(and most infamously) &quot;Oprah and African-Americans support Obama because he is black&quot;...  Now  I read several posts fuming because it is being said that the women voted for her because she is a woman.  (the implication being, not because she is the best candidate).... 

Sucks, doesn&#039;t  it?

enjoy this  brief foray into our world.</description>

		<description>Guess all you Clinton haters get to hate a little more. ... She is clearly a strong candidate.  I like Obama too, but I have yet to hear how he would bring about the CHANGE.  He is a brilliant speaker, probalby would be an excellent Baptist preacher, but I don&#039;t know what he has done and that is why I probably will not vote for him.  You can say you are an outsider and you are going to do things different, but the reality is the people that will be there waiting for the next president will have an awful lot to say about that. ... just ask Jimmy Carter about his first and only term as president.  Clinton on the other hand is hated by the Republicans and some Democracts as well, but she has produced positive results.  I think if some of you put your emotions aside and use your common sense you would clearly see that she is the stronger candidate.  Vote with the knowledge, not with the Oprah fantasy. ... When Oprah says it it becomes right?  I think not. ... if you believe that then surely you think Dr. Phil is a genius.  The bottom line is Oprah has one vote, don&#039;t give her yours  without looking at the facts.</description>

		<description>Hillary Clinton&#039;s abilities far surpass any other candidate to lead this country back to its greatness and redeem ourselves with the rest of the world.  The criticism she has withstood far surpasses that of all other candidates and yet she continues.  A very sincere question from a woman voter, punched through the shield that all candidates must have to weather the abusive side of politics.  And then we saw inside Hillary Clinton.  She was more beautiful than I have ever seen her and reinforced my belief that she is best qualified to be our president.</description>

		<description>I am a woman and I would NOT vote for Hillary just because of her gender.

Actually, I don&#039;t want a female in the White House.    Women, including Hillary, tend to be too emotional, too moody.    Hillary has already demonstrated this.   She&#039;s up one day; down the next.   Tears, then smiles, then tears, then the smiles.

Forget about her.</description>

		<description>I am amazed that gender comes into this. Clinton is a hard core politician, which means gender is irrelevant. No words come out of her mouth that has not been discussed in great detail by a huge team of people. If people truly believe that Clinton being a woman means something, then you know very little about politics.

Take a look at her policies. They are all BS statements.  &quot;Hillary has proposed an Apollo Project-like program dedicated to achieving energy independence&quot;  ... how?  who?  costs?  who pays?  How does that trickle down to the consumer if the corporations ignore the project?   Bush has been making such statement for 7 years, where are the results?

Like all the politicians, they are wishy washy statements with no substance and the American voter is failing for the same stuff time and time again. You want change and yet vote for the same. Pathetic.   If you want real change from a candidate who has detailed exactly what he will do, then Ron Paul is the only viable candidate.</description>

		<description>Women that vote for Hillary have a blurred vision of a true leader.   There&#039;s no crying in Politics, especially fake tears.   Clinton is an emotional wreck, and she will be challenged feverishly by terrorists.   I pray for this country&#039;s safety if Hillary is elected.</description>

		<description>Dems Rejoice! - We have a formidable group of candidates to choose from this year.
Regardless of which candidate ropes the nomination, a win in November will be a significant improvement over the current administration.  I admire Hillary&#039;s tenacity and determination and Obama/Edwards ability to speak directly to the angst of a nation. Still undecided - but am enjoying watching democracy in action.</description>

		<description>I think that every Democrat out there out to realize that Obama is the one candidate who is truly the most viable option in a general election.  Sen. Clinton has megatives that make the Republican candidates&#039; mouths water.  Raise them 4%, and you beat her.  Obama draw in independants, and a lack of experience is a reason that hasn&#039;t stopped us from electing two presidents back-to-back who had absolutely no national experience before being elected.  If Democrats want to win the presidency, I think they ought to give Obama a second look.</description>

Not another Clinton.

Not ever, ever again.

I don&#039;t want the same two families running our country for 28 straight years, 10% of our history, no sane person would.
 
Dynasties are not part of the American way, we need fresh faces running the Executive branch, not the same old players...</description>

		<description>Women can make a difference and I am glad NH women did. Thank you! Its not about electing a woman President, its about showing that our perseverance and hard work and dedication (for our families, jobs, society) pays off. I really hope Hillary will continue to receive women support. 

I was unpleasantly surprised to see that among university educated people, those with post-graduate degrees favored Obama and not Clinton by 12%. I suspect this reflects the fact  that more men are likely to have masters and PhDs while women have only bachelors, and the very educated women become quite jealous of any other educated woman&#039;s success. Too bad ladies, you are doing your jobs, let Hillary do hers.</description>

		<description>My faith has been restored.  Thank God for the intelligent voters (especially women) in New Hampshire.  I&#039;m so impressed with the way they rose up against the media sabotage and unfair treatment of Hillary Clinton - I think I&#039;ll take my next vacation there.  She is giving them facts and the truth - not some bunch of cadences and choruses of &#039;we shall overcome&#039;.  The outlandish comparisons to JFK, RFK, and MLK is an insult to their memories.  Talk about audacity.  Obama&#039;s honeymoon needs to be over already.  The media needs to go back to REPORTING, not commenting on things they know nothing about.  The long-time commentators need to heed the advice they give legislators that have been around awhile - take a long, extended vacation until the year&#039;s out, and let us have our country back. The airwaves should not be for propaganda in the United States.</description>

		<description>I would most hope for a Clinton /Obama ticket for the Dem nomination because its a refreshing change and would be historic too!! Am I hoping for too much? It would certainly be a very healing process for these two to be on a winning ticket on the road to the White House! I certainly do not want more young soldiers to die in the useless war that is being waged in Iraq. Its about time we have a true government who feels for the people genuinely and want to bring the country together!  The NH primaries have shown us that economy is a great issue with people so lets hope the next primary  is also a good one for the best candidate!!</description>

		<description>My fellow Obama supporters, I understand your frustration and disappointment at the recent news from NH but I think ALL OF US need to stay positive. PLEASE do not fall into the selfish trap of becoming negative against other candidates. 

The whole point of Obama&#039;s campaign is to erase the hate in politics and to bring the best out of everyone.  This goes for the Hilary and Edwards supporters too. 

Remember, whoever wins the nomination, lets all support them and not make the same mistake the current administration has made. Let&#039;s bury the hatchet with the republicans and work together to improve our economy, save the environment, increase the opportunities for the needy and make the world a better place, with less hatred.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My fellow Obama supporters, I understand your frustration and disappointment at the recent news from NH but I think ALL OF US need to stay positive. PLEASE do not fall into the selfish trap of becoming negative against other candidates. </p>
<p>The whole point of Obama's campaign is to erase the hate in politics and to bring the best out of everyone.  This goes for the Hilary and Edwards supporters too. </p>

		<description>I am a young, middle-class woman from Des Moines, Iowa and working my way through law school.  I don&#039;t know how I&#039;ll pay off my loans when I&#039;m finished or where I&#039;ll find the money to pay for health care when my coverage runs out on my 25th birthday in two weeks.  I am troubled by the results of our caucus and feel compelled to reach out to the young, first-time, or undecided voters in New Hampshire. 

Hillary Clinton gets it -- this isn&#039;t a pep rally or election for student body president. It&#039;s for President of the United States of America.  I saw Barack Obama during his first stop in Iowa and I WAS fired up.  But when I met Obama after the event, he only stopped and turned to talk to me when I said I was a former staffer of a politico in Iowa. I walked out that night disappointed.  When I met Hillary Clinton, she listened to my story and was only interested in what troubled me -- not who I was or which student groups I could bring to her campaign.  

I&#039;m afraid Barack Obama&#039;s feel-good message is just that: the modern-day opiate of the masses. 

New Hampshire -- choose wisely. The pep rally in Iowa is over. Hillary Clinton&#039;s tears reflect what those of us that have worked in politics already know: hope is not enough. It&#039;s part of it, to be sure.  But experience navigating the minefields is what will sustain that message.  I suggest you all  witness the phenomenon that is Barack Obama.  He is no doubt an effective orator and will be a critical part of spreading the message about America&#039;s desire to re-build its image.  But I urge you to vote for the woman that is recognized and respected around the world.  Hillary Clinton will be the well-known, experienced and strong leader that America is in desperate need of to actually change our image around the world.</description>

		<description>This race was too close for a supposedly &quot;inevitable&quot; Hillary to claim victory over Obama. That is pure spin. 

Hillary is probably still crying as they both have the same amount of delegates, Obama and all of his supporters are still the true winners of this one in NH. 

The main deviating factor I saw, besides women voters, were there were more Independents voting on the Republican side for McCain. He has a strong standing in NH but I don&#039;t think that will be a factor in SC. Again, congrat still to Obama on this one. A 2% difference between him in Clinton in NH and she calls it a comeback. Wow. LOL!!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny how CNN wouldn&#039;t call it when it was so obvious at 54% reporting in.  AP called it first, ouch!  So desperate to hang on to the last string of that empty suit Barack.  Scary.</description>

		<description>Barack CAN make a CHANGE. He has changed his opponent already. Hillary has changed her tactic but she has not. She even shed a tear for us. She is a great politician and she is playing the game! The new Hillary is not genuine but it does prove that Barack can CHANGED America. He has made her CHANGE her game plan. (Note to Hillary: We are starter than that.)


Barack...you are right we have got to begin somewhere.</description>

		<description>WOMEN HAVE HAD TO FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE. THE RIGHT TO VOTE,EQUALITY IN THE WORK PLACE ,GOING TO PRIVATE MILITARY SCHOOLS ATTENDED ONLY BY MEN AND NOW THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL- THE PRESIDENCY. IF THAT&#039;S NOT CHANGE ,I DON&#039;T KNOW WHAT IS!!! WOMEN SHOULD ALL BE RALLYING AROUND HILARY AND GIVING HER THE SUPPORT SHE DESERVES. WE AS WOMEN SHOULD BE EXTATIC ABOUT HILARY. THIS IS IS NOT A TIME FOR JEALOUSY THIS A TIME TO CELEBRATE. HILARY CAN DO MUCH BETTER AT THIS THAN ANY OF THE OTHER CANIDATES BECAUSE SHE IS MORE QUALIFIED AND SHE  HAS MORE EXPERIENCE. SHE KNOWS HER WAY AROUND THE BIG D.C. AND SHE KNOWS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AND NEED.UNFORTUNATELY SHE DOESN&#039;T HAVE AN OPERA BEHIND HER TO RALLY THE SUPPORT FOR HER ,BUT SHE SHOULD HAVE THE WOMEN OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY BEHIND HER HELPING HER ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE . NOW THAT&#039;S CHANGE!!!</description>

		<description>Well.....  

I am so glad that the people in New Hampshire got it RIGHT.  Discourse is fine.  When it comes down to it, men have ran this country for hundreds of years. &quot;What a fine mess you have gotten us into&quot;.  

All I am saying is give HILLARY a chance.  We will not be disappointed.</description>

		<description>&quot;Clinton comaback&quot;?

Come back from what? the polls? Clinton was heavily favored to win New Hampshire and barely did - but somehow the spin doctors make that a &#039;comback&#039;.

Obviously, some quarters are counting on the gullibility or naivete of the American people to believe that somehow barely hanging on is coming back from being the front runner.</description>

		<description>As a Democrat, this is a dark night. I may be in tonight&#039;s minority, but this is a no brainer. For those in this country frozen by fear. For those driven by which candidate presents the best chance at beating the Republican in November. For those praying for a new direction for America.....this is heartbreaking.

Hillary is not the answer. Hillary will not change the perception of who we are on the world stage. Hillary will not slow the growing hatred that boils. Hillary has too many debts still to be paid. I would love to see a woman President. Hillary is the wrong woman.

For America. For our children. For an end to our fears and a beginning to our hopes.
Barack Obama for President.

Peace,

Michael</description>
