Subscribe to this? Are you kidding? You have this garbage out there, you keep spinning the campaigns, coming up with commercial slogans for the candidates and refuse to cover the issues. The slap down of the media by the voters shows you just don't get it. Based on the titles and issues you have on this morning, you have no intention of providing news.

as it is now there is no one will be able to change the country. our country is like
a multistory complex stucture how can senator obama could change. who ever
listen and welcome the statement change is very childish.

To make a change people ,politicians and elected members have to work together. Experience and understanding with communication should be the key factor.

nobody would be able to stop the war and bring the troops back. World is focusing on us we have to do the right thing. besides war economy also should be focused in addition to immigiration.

we have to pick right candidate .Its going to hard.

media as usual mess up the people. by interviewing a handful of available people
it should not come with results which misleed the people

Two percentage points is hardly a victory. Am I the only person who noticed how contrived Hillary's tears really were? If you watch the clip, right before Hillary "finds her voice", she glances at the camera to make sure the "moment" will not be missed! P-l-e-a-s-e…..The Clinton's are master campaigners. Hillary is not the best person for the job. "Come on people"

I am so sick and tired of speculation by the news media political know it alls about who has already won the nominations for President. Shut up and let the people do their thing and decide. One caucus in Dog Patch Iowa and one primary in N.H and the press has ruled a winner!!! Give us all a break and let the people listen to what the canidates have to say and we decide not the media. There's a long way to go.

CNN has become so full of itself I want to vomit. The "best" Political Podcast?
Give me a break.

I don't see how Clinton is a front runner. Obama is leading her so far in delegates pledged, votes cast in favor and percentage margin of wins.

I enjoy hearing from many of the people who report the news (not Lou or Glen) but I agree with Karen there is too much opinion and not enough facts. When you were visited by Michael Moore he got you moving, is that going to be necessary again? Issues might include facts on education, health care, employment, how low the Fed has to drop the rate to keep the republicans looking good, and other things that are quickly slipping away from Americans! GO HILLARY!

NO!! NO!! NO!! New Hampshire did not anoint two front runners. The media anointed two front runners. You can't have less than one-half of one percent of a nation's population anointing anything other than a personal sailing vessel.

The media is so charged and motivated to find and push the candidate/s that they want to see that they believe will generate the most news revenue and cash revenue from the news stories. Get it right.

New Hampshire simply pointed out the three candidates they feel most represent their collective beliefs and concerns in persons to run the country. With a difference of 2 percentage points (neighborhood of 7,500 votes) that is essentially a draw on which is more desired from the State of New Hampshire.

Iowa caucuses have not been going on for a long time…barely 4 decades, New Hampshire hasn't been going on too much longer as the front of the line.

There needs to be a SINGLE super Tuesday type format where the nation as a whole decides the primaries as opposed to being told how to vote by the media en mass. Shame on you CNN!!!!!

The truth is coming out. Starting NH, Americans are beginning to understand that in politics, endogenous is more important than exogenous - that reality and fact are more important than rhetoric and body language or charisma without substance. Americans are beginning to understand that Hillary stands for what the President of the USA should be and not Obama with his empty promises. Obama's leadership leaves a lot more questions to be answered but foremost, how can he be an agent of change without experience? How can he change what he does not know? How can he change what he does not have? Experience in economy, healthcare and security are all in Hillary's bag and Hillary can change them for the good of all America. Obama has a bag of experience but it is empty. He has nothing to change.

My prayers and Best wishes to Hillary and I urge all Americans (black, white, oriental, hispanic) to support Clinton because they will never regret their votes. We did it in NH. NH understands that it is issues, not body language, which stands out in this campaign and Hillary is all about issues. Listen to her carefully instead of cheering at her and you will understand just like the people of NH did - the issues matter,

"THERE IS SOMETHING HAPPENING IN AMERICA!" Since August The Honorable Senator Barack Obama has been gaining increasing momentum. In late December, the Obama campaign closed a huge double digit gap in New Hampshire. On January 3rd, the Obama campaign swept Iowa and on January 8th in New Hampshire, (largely a Clinton stronghold) the Clinton regime escaped defeat only by the skin of there teeth by 2 percentage points but not without deploying very NEGATIVE, UNDERHANDED, and SUSPECT tactics which will surely hunt the Clinton regime.

Despite the inflated overprojections from most polls days before the NH Primary, CLINTON IS NO COMEBACK . Never place too much stock in polls, particularly when vetted against reason, and it was unreasonable to expect a nearly 40 percent voting difference over a 2 week time frame from previous steady and consistent projections. However, the Obama campaign did make significant large margins of gain. The Obama Campaign drew larger crowds compared to both Clintons. The Clinton regime, should have coasted through NH but they limped out barely and it is reasonable for every expert to say that the Clinton regime is underperforming and some triumphant comeback is not the case as the Clinton regime continues to lose ground.

"THERE IS SOMETHING HAPPENING IN AMERICA!" and it is can be simply put that the Clinton regime "The Establishment" is losing votes and the Barack Obama Campaign "The Future" is gaining votes and delegates. CHANGE is on the Horizon and "Yes ,we can be the CHANGE we want to see in the World" when we BELIVE and VOTE for Barack OBAMA (A CHAMPION FOR THE PEOPLE and "THE PEOPLE'S CHAMP!")

OBAMA '08

Thank you Steven. CNN while you're it, why don't you put some links to the Senate site so people can review voting records (and make an informed decision), to medicare.com or sss.gov so they study the history of the programs and the costs (and make an evaluation of candidates proposals), to historyguy.com or globalsecurity.org. so people can begin to understand the complexities of foreign policy. Heritage Foundation has a view on immigration, how about some other sites? Have more guests on to explain monetary policy and then contrast with the candidates positions. How amazing it would be if a citizens had their own solutions! How amazing if the people actually had a voice.

I know I'm a wacko… I have Congress.org in my favorites. Come on CNN. America wants something different from it's govt. I would like something different from my news media. I'm trying to earn my right to vote. Help us out.

I agree with Todd, there should be nationwide campaigning with ONE MEGA TUESDAY situation where the media cannot wield the power they constantly abuse leading the mindless clone masses to vote in a manipulated-by-the-media manner.

Hillary won because intelligence won out - except for those people who want Oprah as first lady. The same Oprah who chose another country for her view of philanthropy - a segregated school no whites allowed. Where was she when the people in New Orleans needed schools, houses, anything? She took the usual oprah opportunity for a photop, posed in some water thing and away she went. I thik theU.S.is finally starting to understand who will actually do something for the disenfranchised people of America, black or white.

Please,put politics aside.A VISION has nothing to do with experience.Obama has the VISION.maybe if you have time,you can read your (HOLY- BIBLE) about the called NOAH….thanks

george, what in the world are you talking about, you sound like one of the news guys (and Romney) that just wanna hear themselves speak, what are you trying to say?

IS OPRAH WEALTHY ENOUGH TO BUY SOME JUDGES IN FLORIDA???? OBUMMER WOULD NOT EVEN BE A BLEEP ON THE RADAR IF OPRAH HAD NOT OPENED UP HER FAT…… WALLET! ITS HARD AND EXPENSIVE PULLING THAT TRAIN.

WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES… UNITE!!! I
T IS TIME FOR ONE OF US TO BE PRESIDENT. WE KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN HOMES INSTEAD OF SOME OTHER PART OF THE WORLD. SHE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT LOOKED OVER PRESIDENT CLINTONS SHOULDER AND BALANCED THE BUDGET AND GAVE US SURPLUS…. ALL OTHER CANDIDATES NEED ON THE JOB TRAINING, SPECIALLY THAT "JUNIOR" SENATOR. HE MISSED 130 VOTES AND HE SAYS HIS WIFE WON'T EVEN LET HIM RUN AGAIN IF HE DOESN'T WIN THIS TIME.

THE WOMEN I KNOW WILL SUPPORT YOU AND SO WILL OUR HUSBANDS DON'T BE AFFRAID TO TELL THOSE IDIOTS INCLUDING CNN TO GO POUND SAND!

I agree with Concorde. We must be responsive citizens on electing eligible candidate. On most issues, the Democratic candidates have similar bases. But who can be the best commander for executing the jobs? Does Obama have enough records to tell to what level he can run the job? Does he have deep enough connections to widely apart politicians and bring them together for the jobs? Does he have enough recognitions in the international affairs? Why he doesn’t think this job needs tremendous knowledge, skills but only visions, hopes? I do not see his sincere for obtaining such skills. He could be another Bush to act without discipline but enthusiasm. But unfortunately, the United State can’t afford mistake any more. We simply exhausted all resources into another recession. I simply lost most of friends in the world…

I was also bothered by his wife at beginning. Her speeches and manner did not make me comfortable to see her as a First Lady at all.

Jason–still living in fairy land of HOPE with realitycheck…next year she is going tobe your president as well….whether you see it or not it doesn't matter.

I am a resident of michigan and am triying to remain among the middle class. My husband and I both work for Ford and really connect with alot of what John Edwards stands for. I will now be voting for Hiliary Clinton because Mr.Edwards must not care about the hard working people of Michigan otherwise he would have made every effort to get his name on our primary ballots? How will this move affect Edwards and Obama? Dont they need Michigan's votes?

Both candidates worked hard in NH but the voters in NH are highly intelligent, well informed and as you can see, they voted on the issues. That is what we want. We want to hear FACTS. We what to see candidates' stand on issues, I agree with Karen, we want to see the candidates voting records, where they stand on ISSUES. I have hopes and dreams for this country, and I know it will require strategies, planning hardwork and some inside knowledge of internal and international affairs. When you go to apply for any significant job, you are required to have some experience or activities that relate to that job in your background. The job of president of the United States should not be taken lightly.

This is a critical time in our country's history. Women, democrats, republicans, independents, UNITE. Let's join to show the world that this country has indeed breached the glass ceiling. Men have been in control of this country and many countries for centuries and we see the world now in chaos, with war, genocides, threat of nuclear warfare everywhere. Women can resolve these issues without flexing muscles. Lets's give a qualifed, educated intelligent, knowledgeable woman a turn to run this country. I know we will see better results.

How legitimate are these NH primary voter fraud allegations?

As most of you know in NH you can register to vote on the spot.

Did the Clintons bring in bus loads of their Washington cronies and lobbyist buddies to vote in NH?

I guess when a former President’s vicious tirade of fabrications and Senator 'Experience' tearing up when inevitability seemed less inevitable were not enough, the Clinton Machine needed to implement their contingency plan.

I guess all the news stories is about how wrong the polls have been in the NH primary but what i haven't heard is that these are the same polling results we were hearing on the republican side of the campaign in NH and for some reason the projected winner in the polls John Mccain also was the exit poll winner on Tuesday night. There is nothing wrong with these polls, i think there just seems to be a little bit extra stuff going on and i am not suggesting race..I am just saying how come one side was right and the other so wrong with the same strategic polling? May be the media outlets can add this perspective to the discussions

Lack of Policy Detail Raises Doubts About Obama. By Mort Kondracke

MANCHESTER, N.H. - A door-to-door canvasser here for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) told me all during the weekend before Tuesday's primary that his team was encountering independent voters torn between Clinton and Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

Surely an anomaly, I thought. Then I ran into such a voter, a teacher taking her young daughter to campaign events. I asked her, "What about Barack Obama?"

"I've seen him five times," she said. "What he says sounds great, but it's all fluff. There's no meat there."

And that, I think, is one reason Clinton pulled victory over obama because his litany of objectives pretty much devoid of any details. Obama rarely engages in question-and-answer sessions with voters to give them a chance to draw him out.

Right now, he's a national Rorschach test, with voters reading into him their fondest hopes for what America can do and be. but the New Hampshire results indicate that Democrats aren't going to anoint him

He got the culinary workers but Senatorial endorsements aren't flooding in. It is time for Obama to put meat on the bones and show where the beef is.
New Hampshire, I think, served as a check on a runaway romance they might regret

WHO CARES!

Obama just isnt ready for the serious challenges that face the new President

THERE IS SOMETHING HAPPENING IN AMERICA..VOTERS ARE WAKING UP AND SEEING THERES NOTHING TO OBAMA BUT A CHURCH SPEECH

D- please don't be sour loser!!!! At least Clinton supporters were gracious enough to accept Iowa results. They were crying foul. This just shows what and who is obama supporters…childern.

The reason why 2% of Americans make 98% of the money in this country is because 98% of Americans are too hesitant to CHANGE. It is a fact that human nature is to stick to routine.
This is why Hillary Clinton is back in the lead. Too many Americans are afraid of CHANGE. CHANGE makes people uncomfortable.
But for the 2% that are making most of the money, they do so because they seek CHANGE. They do not settle for routine.
As for the experience factor, yes, Hillary Clinton has experience. But, if I am fielding a football team, and I have a choice between the years of experience of Vinny Testaverdi, and the talent of Tom Brady, I am going with the talent!
Barack Obama can bring talent to the highest position in the land. He can bring change to this country. He can FINALLY get Washington away from this "two sides of the aisle" and bring everyone to the center aisle to get things accomplished.
We cannot believe that Hillary Clinton can do the same as she is constantly mentioning her "fighting" with the "other side of the aisle".
Fighting with the "other side of the aisle" is going to accomplish little more than we have seen for too long.
If you truly want things to change, you cannot expect part of the problem to change the problem.

Am I the only one that noticed that Obama actually won on delegates, so basically he is the winner. Popularity votes don't win you anything, just ask Gore. Also am I the only one that noticed that Billary has been constantly "retooling" her campaign whenever she starts slipping in the polls. She found her voice, never knew she lost it. Her goal is to get to the White House at any cost, constant flip flopping to get votes show everyone that she is NOT the one for the job. Remember that we the people are hiring to fill the job of president. Would anyone of us hire a person who lies to our face, uses emotions to get what they want, and rides the coat tails of a past leader. We need a person strong enough to lead on there own. Billary is NOT that person. The big picture is, would other countries take the USA serious if she was the leader? The country might be ready for a woman leader, but Hillary is NOT the right one.

A victory is a victory. Obama's camp has attempted to avoid race as a factor. Just as soon as Hillary wins, the race card is played by not Obama, but his surrogates. Referring to the polls being so wrong. So it poses a question, if not several. If the exit polls were not right and our fellow americans from New Hampshire lied about voting for a african american, then can we not say that the remarks coming from South Carolina Obama camp is truely racist. So it is true and will be true, that the african americans in South Carolina will vote the majority for obama because he is an african american, not that he is compotent and ready to be president. He says the same thing George Bush said in the 2000 campaign, just he a little younger and far more articulate. Nothing better than a good word spinner. Hillary gets my vote.

Obama gives a bunch of fake speeches that give no details about his plans and programs because they are socialistic. Look at his campaign website. Under him the middle class will be destroyed to help the pandering poor.

No thanks

I am appalled at the suggestion that Obama lost the NH Primary simply because of his race. If Edwards had won NH I could understand the argument. However, woman have traditionally been discriminated against just as African-Americans have. Have we forgotten that there was a time when women were not allowed to vote in this country and had to fight for their rights as well? I can't help but feel that there are many Americans who are just as hesitant to put a woman in the White House as they are an African-American. Both candidates would make history if elected. I also can't help but feel that there are many African-Americans who will vote for Obama simply because of his race and not because of the issues at hand.

I think i would better explain what went wrong to the polls suggesting early victory to Obama.First of all the polls were not wrong at all the polls showed Sen.Edward would get 17% and obviously he got it.The polls also showed Sen.Obama would get 38 % and remember margin of error was +/-4 so mathematically Obama could get 34% to 42% and it was exactly he got 37%.These polls showed obama ahead of Sen.Clinton by 8 to 10 points.All these polls didnt calculate correctly.Lets calculate Edward with 17 Obama with 38 and clinton with 30 and others 5 the total is 90 obviously these polls didnt show where were these 10% and this is the reason confuses people.10% are undecided voters and late deciders.
The second point is that there are people who suggest race was a factor for Obama to lose.some suggest gender too was issue.But it is not true.
I have scientific proof why obama lost.
No.1.Media:The predictions of media that Obama would lead Clinton by double digit influenced lots of Democrats who like both Clinton and Obama.to vote for Clinton.Why?These democrats like both candidates and its hard for them to chose who is the best after realizing that obama would win by any means.They realized that if Obama won by many points it would be end of Clinton.These are people who would like to hear more about this campaign,they want to know candidates more and they are enthusiastic about issues. they didnt want this democrat race to end so soon.They voted for clinton to narrow the gap.Even if clinton lost by few points she would still have momentum to go on.
No.2.Economy.Remember clinton always says Bush uses terror as to create fears among voters to vote for him.Sen.Clinton used fear on economy to threaten voters that soon there would be recession,and many people who like Obama and would vote for him decided to vote for Clinton because they think Clintons are good to fix economy.
No.3.Bill clinton.This is the most liar person in USA.remember he can sell ice to eskimos.This is the guy who lied under oath.Bill clinton attacked Obama hardly by suggesting that obama is flip flopper on many issues including Iraq war.The truth of matter is Obama voted for fund for war to support the troops not to support the war.Many people bought this idea and they went for clinton.

Thank God other people are starting to see it. Obama talks and talks but doesn't say anything! It's all fluff, no substance.

Hillary is for Hillary and no one else! This is all about her ego and sense of entitlement. She believe that by staying with Bill after the many humiliating things he put her through she has earned the Presidency. Well Bill was the one jumping every woman around and he probably owes her a lot for that: BUT we don't don't. Just because she made the decision to stay with a liar and a cheater does not mean the American people owe her anything! I want and need hope in my future and Hillary is neither. She is the same old tired crap.
I am a woman very near her age and she will never get my vote. I will vote for a Republican before I see her back in my WH. Please ladies, how are you so blinded by the fake woman? Do you know what she will do if she is elected? I do…she will rip this country apart and we will have 4 more years of hatred and nothing getting done. Think women, please more more of the same Bush, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush Bush, Clinton. Don't you think we deserve our country back from the these liars?

If you havebeen apart of the past, you havebeen apart of the problem. The change we need isn't that of a black president but and honest president with new ideas and visions, and that candidate is, Obama. I would be ashame if I was Hillary or any of the other candidates to say they have experiece and have served time in the office making changes. What I'm trying to say is, look at our world today and were it stands, and listen to the candidates bragging about being apart of bringing it to this place. A lot of people just don't get it, especially the other candidates. If Obama was white or any other race I would support him for his belief, his vision, and most important of all, his inexperience. I really wouldn't support him if he had the kind of experience that have our country in the state its in today. New ideas, new visions is what we need and if a white, black, mexican or other can bring this about, I'm all for him. K-Romeo Southfield MI

Did anyone ever consider that the two party system is really just ONE big fraud on the American people.I think they just take turns lying to us all.

Again we must remind ourselves that the issues at stake is beyong Obama or Clinton.We are talking about issues that change the world, indeed, America for the better.We are talking about ability and capability.Does Clinton has these qualities.No.Does Obama has these qualities? YES.Obama represent generational change.He is agent of change between the past and present of America.Obama is the hope of the future.We must support him now.No emotions. No complain.Vote OBAMA EVERYWHERE YOU ARE IN AMERICA NOW

My instincts are not to trust Obama - not that I trust Clinton that much either. But I suppose at least with Clinton you know what you are getting and you know how she stands on the major policy issues - even if you disagree with her.

Obama is an altogether different matter - there is something of ex British Prime Minister Tony Blair about him - all style and no real substance - a superficial politician whose campaign strategy seems to be based on election because of who he's not and because he is "young" - that last one really gets on my nerves.

It is similar to the strategy that the young fogies Cameron and Osborne have adopted with the Tories here in the UK - say little about policy, elect me because I'm not X, vote for me because I am younger (in comparison). The reality is that Obama, Cameron and Osborne have as much in common with young people as I have.

It is symtomatic of the all style and no substance approach not just of politicians but of anyone who is in the public eye.

I find it appalling that people in New Hampshire voted to nominate someone who potentially could lead the most powerful nation in the free world because she cried. I also find it very disturbing that there is evidence that indicates poor whites couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black candidate. To see Bill Clinton distort Obama's voting record and call it a fairy tale after he lied under oath and said to the American people with such conviction "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" is difficult to stomach. He is not credible and if Obama wasn't as classy and sincerely genuine about change he would bring up the corruption and sleaze of the Bill and Hillary presidency. The Clinton's will say or do anything to regain the White House. As a neighbour to the north I implore the remaining states to rebuke the idiocy of New Hampshire and put and end to this campaign of lies and distortion by the Clinton campaign.

I have a great idea. Just have CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and FOX cast their votes and be done with it! I mean whoever they want at a particular time in the process is who will benefit. The question is will the media ever disclose any of Obama"s credentials or will he be given a free ride to the Whitehouse. I hope he loses just so the press doesn't have an invitation to the party.

Ron Paul for President 2008 ! The only candidate that understands the U.S. Constitution. The choice is clear !
