DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE MEDIA !!!! Obama Still Leads By 1 !!! Obama just came in a close second in Nevada which was an incredible accomplishment going up against the 'inevitable'. But everyone must know the facts. The media has such a desire to see Hillary and McCain as the nominees that they are totally misleading the public. The Democratic nominee will be determined by who recieves the most delegate votes....PERIOD ! Great Job in Nevada Obama !!!

Let's ask ourselves what exact changes need to be made. Change needs to be for the better and the candidates better know how changes are executed!! Remember everyone, we live in a world that is quite dangerous today. All the "change" candidates may presumably know something about balancing a budget, running businesses, or rallying the country, but we need experience in foreign affairs more now than ever!! Republican, Democratic, or Independent, read the candidates' website and any other "true" information you can get your hands on and vote accordingly. Be careful everyone who gets your vote, because it may impact our great nation for a long, long time!!

I'm still wondering what she accomplished in the Senate. For that matter, what experience did she have to win the Senate seat in New York State? A failed health care plan. Maybe if you consider table placements and seating world leaders at dinners in the White House she has significant experience over Barrack. Hillary is an anomaly of the Press. Her expereince is imaginary. Barrack is the candidate of true conviction and has an uncorrupted vision for America. As for the expereince, when he started as a US Senator he had eight years experience on the the state level which far exceeds Hillary's. Barrack means what he says while Hillary tells a Americans what they want to hear. American don't get fooled by the Hillary spin machine! Look at her Senate record. What legislation has she put forth and passed?It's time to stand up and really be counted. Vote Barack Obama 08 and get a say in the future of America.

In addition I feel that many of their policy flaws didn't show up until after Clinton left office (nafta, cafta etc.) And I really have to reflect back to their lack of support during the "04" Campaign. It shines light on the fact that they really wanted GEORGE BUSH to win so that she(Hillary) could win with little opposition atleast so they thought.

That crowd was probably not even from NH. This primary does not pass the smell test. Hillary is too cocksure about being the nominee she told Couric she WOULD be the nominee as did McAulifee. Both say this with such certainty even before the IA caucuses that it is hard to beleive this is not rigged. Hillary had a very small crowd for there to have been a massive turnout and for her to have won with 2% more of the vote. They called for more Democratic ballots early yet they say the independent vote was split evenly between McCain and Barack. If this is true we know those Democratics were not coming out in droves fo vote for Hillary. She is too dislike. But with the corrupt machine politics they could eek out a win for her just like they did for Bill. Note how both came within 2% only Bill lost. Even so, they get the same number of delegates thus the comeback kid moniker for Bill. The real story is going untold and that is how Barack has galvanized a movement in this country. Now if only we the people are allowed to elect the people's candidate instead of the dirty political rigging of votes that we have witnessed last night in NH. Obama is by far the best candidate. O you bet Hillary's crowd are sore losers. That crowd was probably not even from NH. This primary does not pass the smell test. Hillary is too cocksure about being the nominee she told Couric she WOULD be the nominee as did McAulifee. Both say this with such certainty even before the IA caucuses that it is hard to beleive this is not rigged.

The tears swung the minds of the delegates? (Bo ho) funny way to choose a leader, shed crocodile tears and you win. Just a thought. As a british person, I am at a loss.
