CNN

I believe its a big mistake not to vote for Hilary,Because all she has been doing and all the experience she has. We feel a big time for a big change,
What better then a Woman to clean up this countries mess? A woman who is strong and convicted to the beliefs of her country and after all havent men been running things for to long lets get the new movement for a strong woman who can and will be the better president .DONT YOU THINK ITS TIME

YOU GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT? REWRITING THE EPIC HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT!

The lashing furiously out by Bill Clinton at Obama before the NH caucuses in labeling him Obama too green, could send people back to his vicious attack prior to the Iowa caucuses was nothing but openly racist attack from a person who twice was consecutive USA president. At the time many people did not discover the hidden racist and heinous nature of the Clintons couple. With the NH caucuses It took no long for reporters and the Nation’s and the world media to finally uncover who this couple, ready to do anything just to satiate their ambitions. Now it is compelling to briefly expatiate on such behavior. Prior to the Iowa caucuses, by saying that Obama is green, Bill Clinton did not mean that Obama is not ready, unripe or too young, incompetent to become president, but he used the metaphoric racist bigotry, a glass ceiling for black person who would never be allowed to confidently stride toward a promising future in the United States of America.

The Clinton couple had, from the start been engaging political campaigns that are long on sleaze and short on substance. Today, the Clintons called him the ‘kid’ and described the Obama’s policy praised throughout the world as a ‘fairy tale’ while continuing to pretend publicly to be “blacker than the Blacks (African Americans) themselves”, as if before the 1960s and 1970s they were portraying themselves Negroes.

This call to memory the time when in Hollywood’s film industry, for racist reasons white US’ citizens daubed their faces and bodies with soot for playing black characters in lieu and place of skilled Blacks. Curiously, some of today’s African Americans, descendents of the mentally enslaved Negroes are wholeheartedly are not only supporting but also applauding and claiming that the Clintons are their choices because they “are” black? All along Clinton’s campaign it was from the archetypal black drug dealer to the derogatory labeling “kid”. Here, again is the climax of the perpetual derision! Who better than Bill Clinton knows about telling fairy tale. In their desire to re-write the history of the African Americans’ achievements, now is all the civil rights achievements to LBJ, little to MLK!

How soon we forget! Isn't it the clinton's who were caught up in the white water scandal? And, didn't several people who were witnesses against them came up dead, murdered?

Some people think Barack Obama is all talking no action. Don't be surprise when he become the next President of the United States of America in November 2008, he will have a chance to work hard for the American people in action like he did in south side of Chicago as a Community Organizer. Infact, the all talking is Hillary Clinton with no action. "She think s too." As Dr. King had said " The fear urgency of now", Barack Obama is the right man for the Oval Office who will lead the American people in to the most Fundamental way. He will prevail on "Super Tuesday" to be the nominee for the Democratic Party. Eventuallly in to the White House.We pray for him ,and God bless him and Speed him all the way. Once again we will prevail. Then we all can say thank God Almighty we made it.

And by the way seaswell great speeches are only a fraction of what a good leader should be. It's just pop culture. This is not the #1 rock star or music interest this is for the United States presidency. And, can we trust the people that will work under him? Know who i mean? I like Barack Obama but am having issues with who will be under him and will there be exclusions from his fold?

G.M

If I was Obama I wouldn't be gloating about this endorsements. For my fellow hispanics, please remember this is the governor that signed into law the E-Verification Program in Arizona into law, making it harder for hardworking immigrants to find jobs or be able to live in that state. By the way please don't attack this post like I don't know what I'm talking about, I work for a national company as the HR Manager and unfortunately am in charge of the E-Verification process, if you also want to read up on this and see I'm not lying, therei s an article in the January maganize of SHRM talking about this and mentions this governor as having signed this into law.

An endorsement from someone that is contributing into so much pain really says a lot. I am behind hillary clinton all the way, I hope everyone out there reads up on the candidates, its not about words of hope, its about actually having done something.

1. America needs and wants change. Hillary is NOT IT.
2. America is ready for a female President. Hillary is NOT IT.

Obama 2008!! Let's bring real change to Washington.

Guess what middle class and poor folks. We all have been fooled by the" America Dream". It was just a dream for us, so we do need a change. Hello,Hello put your thinking cap on.

This country needs a change! Clinton is one of the THEM! It is time to turn the page! And with the support of Republicans....YES WE CAN!

GO OBAMA!! GO OBAMA! REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA!!!!!

It doesn't matter who Janet supports, Arizona always goes to the Republican.

Hillary doesn`t need endorsements.She can win by herself..

DONT FOOL YOURSELF BY MEDIA OR REPORTERS.
DONT PICK A LEADER JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUR FRIEND AND FAMILY.
CHOOSE A LEADER THAT CAN RUN THE OUNTRY.

I RESPECT OTHER JUST THE WAY HOW I WANT TO BE REPECTED.
I RESPECT YOUR OPENION AND I WANT YOU TO RESPECT MINE.
AFTER ALL IT IS A FREE COUNTRY. FREE FOR OPENION AND SPEAK.

REPUBLIC PARTY WANT OBAMA TO WIN DEMECRAT'S NOMINATION, SO REPUBLIC PARTY CAN EASYLY WIN GENERAL ELECTION.

YOU WANT TO MAKE CHANGES? YOU NEED TO DECIDE!!

i am an obama supporter but no matter who the candidate is i am still gonna vote democrat, cause i am tired of the bush administration. all the they care about is themselves, but i am also scare if hillary get the nomination we gonna lose again she is just too polarizing, too many people dont like her she flip flops too much.

Obama 08

I feel that, whatever Obama get endorsement or news, the media must report and cover immediate, but the opposite for Hillary, you guy has only reporting her down side, but whenever she get more endorsement than Obama and her good agenda or plans which indicating the benefits to American citizens, the media seems not interest or annoy all. It is not fair, why not be equal and let American citizen make their decision and choice.

Are Arizonians stupid enough to re elect a govenor that would support a man for prisident that has no clue what he faces. He will be a puppet for the old hardline democrats and you better wake up.

No in the south we do not need anyone to tell us who to vote for, but if you are in the south and do not beleive that we need change you are in the wrong place.
So get your mind right and do what is right for the south !!

“Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It took a president to get it done,” Clinton said, in a claim that her experience was more important than Obama’s soaring rhetoric.

Several African-American leaders objected to the comparison. On Friday, Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn, a powerful member of congressional leadership, signaled his displeasure with her remarks in comments published in the New York Times.

“We have to be very, very careful about how we speak about that era in American politics. It is one thing to run a campaign and be respectful of everyone’s motives and actions, and it is something else to denigrate those. That bothered me a great deal,” said Clyburn.

Way to go marginalizing what MLK did.

-Obama will be the president in 2008...no question...these endorsements falling his way are proof of that...people believe in him, even the big whigs, when have you ever heard of something like this happening, politicians taking a stand so early in an election year

-the republican party has been run into the ground singlehandedly (thank you bush voters) and right now our country needs a democrat- his name : Obama

-give the man a chance to change the country, to put us back on the map, help us gain respect from countries around the world, and enlighten Americans with a vision of a higher purpose.

-we will never have this chance again so carpe diem, fight for Obama to sit in the oval office, and raise the morale of Americans once again, something we have not had in our American political system for years

The whole "Did Barack Obama sell drug" issue shows a level of bigotry on the part of some in Hillary's camp. When it got revealed during the 2000 campaign that George Bush did drugs in the past, it was not a big issue. Furthermore, no one ever brought up the idea of him possibly selling drugs. However, when it comes to Obama's prior drug use, hypothetical such as "could he have sold drugs" becomes an issue. I guess this is because black men are all supposed to be criminals and drug dealers.
I was once a supporter of Hillary but this stunt turned me and my family against her. She stands to lose many black voters if this trend continues.

Bravo Obama supporters, your takes have been clear, concise, based on truth, fact and kept between the political lines. You guys are a class act and I am proud to today say that today, I'm one of you. I have looked at both candidates evenly and it has become blatantly clear that Obama is doing the best job uniting Americans and sticking with the issues. Hillary and her supporters seem to be spreading nothing but cynicism & negativity; that surley is no sign of unity. Thanks to both parties for being yourselves and allowing me to make an unbiased decision. Let's GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like we can add Senator Nelson (Nebraska) and Senator McCaskill (Missouri) to the list of people supporting Obama; not bad for someone who was supposed to have lost momentum post-New Hampshire! And a nice mix across the broad spectrum of the Democratic Party – from the hawkish Nelson, to the centrist McCaskil to the "liberal" Kerry – just an illustration that Obama can draw support from all wings of political opinion outside the ultra-fascist neo-con right.

Obama has leadership qualities like no one else running (and yes, part of leadership qualities includes giving great speeches). The president doesn't have as much power as people seem to think – they are more of a speaker and symbol for America than anything else.

Both Clinton and Obama could successfully be president, but as a country these days, we need to be inspired and united. Look how all of the candidates run their campaigns and treat their campaign teams. While other candidates fire managers and struggle along, Obama has inspired his team and kept everyone from the beginning. He knows how to inspire people to action.

Obama 08

BIG DEAL WHO CARES

Candidate Party Senate Endorsements House Endorsements Total
Hillary Clinton Democratic 11 69 80
Barack Obama Democratic 7 33 40
Mitt Romney Republican 5 33 38
John McCain Republican 11 19 29
Rudy Giuliani Republican 3 22 25

Ron Paul Republican 0 1 1
Dennis Kucinich Democratic 0 1 1

If McCain is nominated by the republicans,the democrates better nominate Obama. The only democrate who can compete with McCain for the independent votes is Obama.Hopefully Ms Clinton does not cry when she reads this comment,because she is the ONLY candidate who really cares about America.
Obama, McCain etc are ALL running not because they really care about America,but for PERSONAL reasons !

Wait and see who's gonna win on November..Republican candidate have the chance to win the election....so don,t be exited for Clinton and Obama,because they can't make it..Though they had there endorsement from.Hipolitano and Kerry and other big names celebrities ? i think they have a hard time beating REPUBLICAN PARTY.........ha.ha.ha.LOL

Anybody can come over here and read this article, this is the United States of America not Obama's States of America. Life is not all positive R.H, if there wasn't some dissention we'd be making decisions blindly. I agree with a recent blogger,
people are swept away emotionally by Obama's speeches. Whether that passion equates to great leadership is for the future to decide, i can't believe people would get breathless and drooling over a few feel-good speeches. Passion should be weighed with the ISSUES. Try telling a naive 18-24 year old that.

G.M

Dont be exited about your candidate like obama and Clinton,wether they were endorsed by Hipolitano or John Kerry......Because you dont know what will happen in this coming general election ,and Democratic canditates might not win.LIBERAL candidate couldn't make it !!! over CONSERVATIVE canditate.......

If I was uncertain who to support Hillary or Obama that uncertainty went out the window with her tears..Obama's got my vote...he demonstrates character and honesty.

President Clinton's legacy doesn't translate to Mrs. Clintons ability to do the same. Hillary will say anything to get votes. for example "No woman is illegal"
So Wake UP Hillary worshipers! Hillary doesn't care about your well being. She only care about winning the Presidency. She is not an economist and all that she said may not be true about how effective or efficiency in her economic plans. So don't believe all that she said. Her economic policy might sound good but it might not work. Fed. Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke doesn't even know what to do with this financial credit crunch mess. So please, Wake UP Hillary Worshippers!

Well, our country is better off without Clinton or Obama. Last thing the US needs right now is a President looking to spend more tax money, one who is soft on illegal immigration and one who has almost no experience or track record in domestic or international matters. Neither Obama or Clinton can point to any real accomplishments or leadership as elected officials. The Bush Presidency is nearly a disaster, but these Democrats are not the answer to the issues we face.

-
Obama – Napoli has a nice ring to it !!

Diverse ethnicity is the FOUNDATION of the USofA. Irish, German, Amish, Polish, Chinese, Italian, African, Greek, Japanese, Scotish, Jewish, and many others started this great nation in one way or another.

We have GOT to give them (Obama+) a chance to turnaround Bush's crimes, and make the world know we were duped. The US really IS global material, its just that we have been mis-guided.

Time for mis-guidance to STOP. Obama-Napoli in '08 will solve the problem, that's for sure.

Hello Governor Janet Napolitano, why dont you endorse Senator from your own state? I know even though endorsment mean not much at all. You endorse Obama, it means you have a vote for Obamza, thats all. it doesnt mean all people in Arizona will have have a vote for Obama. They vote what they think right for them. It is very simple.

Tristan Penton, come on we understand that you don't like Obama, but you post the same thing about him NOT lying about his drug use. And why not complain about "not inhalin" lol you are telling me you believe that. Or are you getting paid to post the same thing in EVERY Obama article?

GO OBAMA 08'

Well done gov, u've seen deeper than most of those old fashioned democrats who are embracing the mix message of EXPERIENCE IN MAKING BAD JUDGEMENTS and Pseudo-CHANGE the clintons and etal are spreading. I can't wait to see what kind of scam "Hell ary" clinton , oopss sorry Hillary Clinton will come up with to get the compassion or pitty of those naive democrats. After those fake tears, bill might advice his wife to get on her knees publicly and begg naive and blind dems to fall again for her tricks....Wait and see!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to support another women candidate! We women will remember this when YOU run next time! You better Obama wins and gives you some big job in DC.

I'm white, wealthy and was a republican and I say GO GO GO OBAMA, its time for change we have had our time now its your time.

g0 obama.............!! Time for CHANGE

Do voters really care about endorsements? What we should care about is whether we want to endorse a candidate willing to copy GOP attack politics verbatim.

For those who missed the dirty politics last weekend in NH (and then Bill's "clarifications yesterday", here's one voter's primer on the Clinton playbook:

Step 1: Slander your opponent
Step 2: Wait and see if you're called on the slander
Step 3: If called on the slander, decide whether you've offended a group you need to win the election
Step 4: If the answer to step 3 is "yes, we need that group," deny Step 1 ever happened.
Step 5: Hope nobody realizes what you just did
Step 6: If someone does realize what you did, see step 1 (slander them)

And now, the teacher's union in Nebraska has filed suite to disenfranchise the voters of the Culinary Union (see report in New York Times today). Of course Senator Clinton's campaign will say it has nothing to do with that but who are they trying to kid. If they think the tactic is underhanded politics, they can certainly talk the "Teacher's Union" into withdrawing their suite. The Clinton campaign won't and that will be an implicit endorsement of yet another slimy Rovian tactic: if the voters aren't going to vote for you, try to disenfranchise them.

I'll say it again: if you're woman or a man and want to vote for Senator Clinton solely because you think it's time we had a woman President, there's nothing wrong with that. It is high time we have more women leaders in national positions.

But please don't insult your own intelligence or ours by denying that Senator Clinton's campaign is using the very same trash and burn tactics that she's so criticized the right wing for using for so long. De-nial is not just a river in Egypt.

It was not fake, she was tired. Clinton does care but Obama has this presidential attitude thats makes himself sick out from the rest. He has the Macolm X vive. If the black people do not support him they moght regret it if he does not become president...we need a new horizon for a new beginning and Obama brings that. He is not just smart, he is more than us, he portrays the attidute that is humble and yet confident. He has a lot to prove so he will most definately be the best.

She's a great governor... a person who actually cares for the people she serves... I hope it makes an impact.

Heard about the New hampshire recount?

No matter how you cut it , Hillary Clinton would divide this country even more then Bush has , she is a lightening rod for all that is wrong in Washington.

OBAMA has a track record of crossing party lines, and bringing people together to find solutions , and SOLUTIONS is what this country needs right now , NOT more of the same , and "more of the same" is what Clinton brings to the table.

OBAMA 08

All I have to say is what an idiot this governor is. The people of Arizona really need to think twice before ele cting this person again as Governor. This Country may need new direction, but we need to know what it is. Obama has no record. He is like a preacher full of hot air and pretty words, but no substance that I can see. Not only is his record in Illinois sketchy, his record i2 year record in the Senate has been even worse.

Hillary is a fake, now she will use her tears to sucker women into voting for her like in NH. Bill's negative attacks on Obama are going to back fire on them. Same ole Clintons, they spin and spin and twist others rivals comments. They are just like Republicans.

Obama and hopefully Biden 08
All The Way!!!!

"Endorsements do not matter to voters; when will we realize this?

VOTE CLINTON-RICHARDSON '08"

chuck norris is gonna round house kick you for that one, besides if so then why is huckabee still in the race 0_o

I have found that the Obama craze is really localized here, and is making several people around the world nervous.

They all know about the Clinton administration. All they see is RADICALS jumping on the Obama bandwagon. Kind of like the 60s radicals backing George McGovern.

My dad actually called me and voiced his concern that Canadians are EXTREMELY worried about Obama getting elected .

It's also pretty lame of the Hillary supporters to come over to a positive Obama article to try and stir up trouble. What is that about???? This article is a positive thing for Obama and his supporters, why are you guys over here in the first place. ???You guys just look really derperate as I said earlier in one of my post. Hillary has already lost my wife's vote and is rapidly losing mine. Interesting enough it's her supporters that are doing the most damage.

It's really disturbing to hear so many Clinton supporters talk about what Barack won't do & how he can't do this, providing Americans with false hope or lacks experience. You guys are trying to undermind his endorsements by discrediting the motives of his supporters. Clinton supporters are going out of their way to try to tear down Obama. If you notice, most post by Obama supporters are that of just that, support. Obama supporters are not trying to demean Hillary from what I can see. America was built on hope & benevolence. I see none of this from Hillary supporters and that's a shame. You talk about Obama's lack of experience but where has George Bush's "experience" gotten us? I think we can all agree NO WHERE, unless your related to the bush family. Abraham Lincoln served number or terms as Barack before he took office and how did he do???? I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for yet but day by day just reading the post of the Hillary supporters makes me not want to be associated with her campaign. It seems to me like the Hillary supporters can sense defeat and are lashing out against Obama. That's not how you win an election; especially against a guy who is talking about uniting the nation and bringing about change.

If you look at Barack's rallies you see people of all races and all ages and genders. That's what unity looks like to me. When the truth is spoken and hope is being restored it is indeed does not see ethnicity nor gender. More and more I'm starting to believe that Barack deserves the shot that all of us at one point wants in our lives & that's a chance to prove ourselves and I for one just might be willing to give him that chance.

A hillary vs Mccain means a sure loss for the Dems
A obama vs anyone means a sure landslide win for the Dems

I love Jant Napolitano, I think she's very intelligent and authentic, most importantly she will straight talk to you instead of going around corners. I also like to see either her or K.B Hutchingson from TX to run for president. We need a candidate who runs on her own merit.

Meanwhile I support Obama, Which I think is amazing, he can truly be the leader to build a working majority in the legislatory branch to get things done. Hillary on the other hand is polarizing, some of the Dems might love her, but indepenents and republicans hate her. She might be able to win the presidency but it will be a very hard fight, much like the Gore/Bush fight, in the end she might win by 1% of the electoral votes. That means nothing will get done in congress. Dem need a landslide victory, not a close fitted one. And Obama can do the job if you guys just give him a chance.

Go Obama!

Yes.We.Can that's the message to all americans around the globe.

Did anyone see Shelby Steele on Bill Moyers last night? He is the son of mixed race parents (his father’s African genetics rule in his case) and the author of “The Content of Our Character.” He has a new book out on Senator Obama.

I would like to see Obama and Janet Napolitano on the same ticket.

Obama will lead America to a new promise.

The country needs Obama. Clinton represents exactly what has hurt the country the last 16 years; a country divided.

We Are Tired Of the same old thing... Example, the bushes... so why elect anather clinton...?

Go Obama

Ok, BILL clinton did some great things and a lot of not so great ones. Now how does that give Hillary experience?
I was in the same room as Colin Powell, does that make me a great military leader?
I spend weeks with a world-class painter, I'm I now Van Goth? No.
Saying someone else's experience is your own is a lie. She let GW go to war in Iraq, got nothing done in the Senate and voted against sending the same troops she helped send to war the money they need to buy things like body armor, etc etc. Is that the C-I-C I want? No.
Bill Jeff wants his wife to be prez and that's cool:) I want my wife to be healthy and able to walk right again. We both want good things for our wives, but I won't lie, cheat or slander another human being to do it. Hilliary learned all she knows about politics from watching Bill. Think about that.
I don't hate the Clinton's. They seem to be good people on a one to one basis, but another 4-8 years of in-fighting and scheming, no thanks. Get the job done, Obama.
Get the job done. Get our folks home, get money back in the system where little folks like us can at least see it.
Obama 08!

Hillary is a good candidate with ready answers to all problems;
And so were John Kerry, Al Gore, Walter mondale and Bob Dole.
Hillary is not going to win any more states than Al Gore and Kerry.
People (even core democrates) do not get excited about a Hillary ticket.
Obama can be compated to JFK and Robert Kennedy. Yes he had some drug
problem which he talked about in his book. Yes his middle name is Hussain.
And some more allegations might come up.But you know those things did not
matter to Iowa and New H. (he was a close 2nd) voters. And if I look at
both the candidates, I somehow trust Obama. He is perceived to be honest,
humble and truthful. I do not feel the same way about Hillary. I think
that's very important. Remember George Bush and Kerry. Somehow Bush was
perceived to be honest, humble and down to earth and that's why he won.
People say kerry lost because of swift boat thing. I do not believe so.
Kerry lost because of him and not for other reason. He could not connect
to people as Bush did. And Obama connects to people. And when people
connect to a candidate, they overlook allegation. People paid no attention
to Bush missing his military duty (which was a serious thing)

The so called republican attack machine is overrated. If they are so
powerful how come senators from West Virginia, Montana lost in 2006 ?
How come democrat got majority in congress ?

I do not care.I have already made my mind for Hillary.

It is my great honour and respect to my nation, as well pleasure to announce the next president of United States of America, BARACK OBAMA. God bless Obama, God bless America.

Obama is the only person who can actually bring everybody together. All republicans want to run against Hilary becasue they know they will crush her. They are worried about Obama. Obama can get this country back on track and give us a new face with other countries.

Not to sound sexist our anything, but all you woman are wanting to vote for Hillary Clinton for the sole reason that she is a woman. Bill and Hillary Clinton are two of the most corrupt politicians that America have seen. Women should vote for someone who can help change the country, not their social standing in the world. Obama 08'- Its time for change and that can only be achieved with fresh ideas.

Vivian, S.C. American people, this will be the right time for us to go back and look our mistakes at the past. I strongly beleived that our great nation do not need an emotional leader or even a crying leader. Wake up American people, this is the right time for a great change in our nation. We need a man with vison and smart. We lost John Kennedy long time years ago but he raise up again campaing for change. Barack Obama is the new born J. F. Kennedy. Thanks for all the endorsements from Barack Obama. And thanks for all the people that has endorsed Barack Obama. God bless America.

I am throughly confused. A decade ago and still today Americans are so caught up in the Christian morality of our political leaders. However, we are about to elect a black Muslim president. He keeps calling for a United America? Well, what he need is a president with EXPERIENCE. Don't you people get it? We are at war. We have our sons, daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, fighting and dying for our country. Barack Obama has no idea about real foreign policy.

All of the qualities Gov. Neapolitano attributed to Barack are dwarfed by the qualities of Hillary. Obama's antiquated oratory and unoriginal slogans of mere HOPE, CHANGE, and merely saying YES WE CAN without EXPERIENCE and SUBSTANCE to back them up MEAN NOTHING to Americans who choose to be careful, ratioonal and cautious about electing the next President of the US. They want to have a safe future with a President who has had experience, and not with one without experience to tide them over in critical times. In endorsing Obama, Gov. Neapolitano is trying her best to ingratiate herself with BARACK in the unlikely chance of Obama's going to the White House. But she is unaware that in doing she is launching an effort to make AMERICAN families SACRIFICIAL LAMBS in the future as a result of an UNTESTED, UNKNOWN, MYSTERIOUS
Barack at the White House helm. It is clear that Gov. Neapolitano will have no role in the Hillary administration; hence, out of frustration and spite for Hillary, she is laying a stake for a chance of a high position in an unlikely Obama administration. With her endorsement of Obama, Gov. Neapolitano has started the countdown of her political demise. After Gov. Neapolitano's term as governor, Hillary supporters will see her out of the Arizona political spectrum for good. Reason: the governor has ceased to make rational decisions. For the sake of Gov. Neapolitano's followers, the governor should exercise utmost prudence. Has she examined Barack's record as a unifier? There is none in the Illinois legislature, and none in the US Senate. By and large, the governor has made an irresponsible endorsement not worth the attention of prudent American voters.

Raymond Chavez: "Go Hillary and Bill!!"
real african – south africa: "Bill looked after you and so will Hillary"
Justin, Houston, TX: "If it takes another Clinton to fix another Bush's mess, I'm all for it"
Estrela: "Look it up Folks, the clinton Regime was the greatest of all time"

People stop bringing up what Bill Clinton did in the White House like they're credentials for Hillary. The candidate is Hillary, not Bill!! Don't just vote for her simply because you liked Bill as President (which I did). We don't see much "Go Barack and Michele!!" He's going on his own credentials. Remember, the candidate is NOT Bill Clinton! Just like George W Bush was definitely NOT his father once he got into office (I'm independent and I liked George senior much better than Junior)

Another cheerleader, who wants to hand the white house to the Neo cons.

We, that live in the real world know, it will take a heavy hitter like Hillary or Edwards
to take back our dear America.

Think, Vote to win.

Some people don't just get it, is this great country a Kingdom of Bush-Clinton families? Maybe change the White House name to Bush-Cliton House!!!!! Thank govenor for your great vision. Go go Obama we are whith you and God be whit u..

All I heard about is how engaging and independent New Hampshire voters are. Wow, they sure proved that wrong when they voted to uphold the status quo by voting for Hillary. All the Rasmussen polling shows that HIllary would lose to every Republican candidate in the general election, while Obama would hands down beat every one of them. If Hillary wins the primary she will be another John Kerry and the Democrats will lose. Obama is the most electable candidate. Go to the Rasmussen site yourself and check out all the daily polls...........Obama, because the times, they are a changing.......................

Obama's plan for healthcare in this country does NOT cover everyone! Hillary Clinton's plan DOES. Look at the facts: Obama says he will work with insurance companies to ask them to make insurance more affordable (good luck in that), AND he says that once insurance is "affordable" (whatever that means), that everyone will just go out and buy it – even young twenty year olds with low paying jobs! Yeah, right. Last time I checked, most young people thought they were "indestructable", and would rather go out and buy a new flat screen TV, instead of buying health insurance. Obama shows a real lack of understanding of human nature, when he says that young people will all rush out and buy insurance, all on their own! The reality is that everyone needs insurance – because we ALL have to pay for the irresponsible people who refuse to buy their own insurance, once those people get sick (the hospitals raise OUR costs to cover those uninsured people.) People need to pay their fair share. Obama doesn't understand this basic principle – scary! That's why he needs more experience, and time to study issues, before he could even think about becoming president.

I've noticed that many people, especially young people who support Obama, have NO IDEA of his specific proposals – they are just emotionally swept away by his grandiose "bible revival" style speeches. We need more than just public speaking skills in our next president – we need someone who thouroughly studies problems, pays attention, and develops solutions to our country's complicated issues. We don't need someone who watches a football game in the middle of a national debate (Obama admitted to this during the debate in NH last week. We also need someone who understands human nature.
West Wing." Reporters who think they are smarter than their audience – priceless!

As a Canadian its great to see Obama's health care vision for the U.S...We the Go Obama ...time for a change.

HIllary is endorsed by Latino mayor Antonio Villeragosa. BAM! take that Obama, all your latin votes are outta here!

This is in response to the comment that "JOHN" made in the support of the Latino Mayor endorsing Clinton. Obama don't need the Latino vote to win the presidential election. You can see what the Latino vote has done for Los Angeles. Your vote put a Gangster Mayor in Office and he has done nothing to bridge the gap between Blacks and Hispanics in Los Angeles. As a matter of fact, the gap has gotten greater. The economy in Los Angeles is jin disarray. Looks about like it does in Washington. Besides, their are more "Legal" White voters in California than "Legal" Hispanic voters anyways and those "White" voters are the ones that will be the defining factor when California votes.

Senator Clinton has one more term in the Senate than Senator Obama. The "years she spent in the White House" are not applicable as she the government's official hostess, not a diplomat of Senator. If Senator Obama is politically inexperienced then Senator Clinton is as well.

Hillary supporters are so rude, ignorant and right to the right, I think Hillary is really a Republican Right Winger in "sheeps" clothing.

Janet work for the Clinton administration in the 90's, yet she is against Hillary!

Kerry is no fans of the Clintons.

Gore will endorse OBAMA,...I am sure of it!

Richardson will endorse OBAMA!

Hillary cannot win in November.

OBAMA and EDWARDS will stay in the nomination until the convention when every state will vote....EDWARDS WILL RELEASE HIS DELEGATES TO OBAMA AND OBAMA WILL WIN THE NOMINATION AND PRESIDENCY.

OPRAH FOR SENATOR TO REPLACE OBAMA....I am sure Hlirray supporters are seating with anger!

ABC......................OBAMA/RICHARDSON FOR PRESIDENT

BLOOMBERG WILL ENDORSE OBAMA
GEN POWELL WILL ENDORSE OBAMA

Napolitano one of the best Democratic governors in the US. Read her record !! She would be an EXCELLENT choice for VP.

The Obama-rama is spreading westward, so get on board, so you don't get left behind.

Obama-Napolitano in '08 !!

Napolitano can't try to enter the national stage without the personal scrutiny of her personal life she has evaded here in Arizona.

Anyone and everyone here in Arizona knows what I mean. The deep voice, the masculine hair, no kids, never married, doesn't date publicly. Everyone here winks about it, but Arizona politics and international politics are different animals.

Is Obama Electable? A few of you have said that if Obama wins the nomination the republicans will keep the white house. However, this is highly unlikely. Hillary Clinton is highly polarizing and is hated by many Republicans. The republican base have not been energized as of yet due to their mediocre group of presidential contenders. Their turnouts have been significantly less than the Dems in Iowa and NH. If Clinton becomes the nominee, can you think of a better stimulus to get the Republicans Jazzed up and vote in Record Numbers?! Can anyone see Hillary Clinton winning any states in the South?!

Nepolitano is just positioning herself for Vice-President consideration should Obama wins. The country is finding it difficult to elect a woman president much less to elect the top two positions of the land. Nepolitano is just one shrewd politician.

I am Canadian. I am sure that everybody knows that whatever happen to your country does affect us here up north, one way or another. I have been following this campaing from the very beginning. I have listened to every candidate, Democrat or Republican, speak. Barack Obama is a politician I will never vote for. Why? Because he's a TRUE POLITICIAN- with every bits and pieces those words meant. In all his speeches, he seems to deliver only what a voter want to hear with extra flare. I'm not saying they don't do it all but Obama is so good at it, its almost sickening. I think he's biting more that he can chew here. Call it whatever you want America but he is spreading false hope. He says there's no such thing as false hope but do you remember your president standing behind the banner that said "Mission Accomplished"?. I hope every Amercian would look deep through these speeches that every candidate is giving. If we want to genuine, tell it like it is-look at the Macain and Clinton-now Clinton and Republican might disagree...but oh well, I am Canadian.

governor endorsements do matter, aren't they called super-delegates?

Guys, I lived in the US for eight years and am living in India now. But I love the US like it's my nation. When George Bush won his second term, the headlines in the UK newspaper (The Mirror or something) read, "how can 50% of americans be stupid!". And that's exactly what I felt at that time. Totally amazed at his second win after such poor handling. 10 years ago, the US was a country loved all over the world. Now there are many nations that either hate it, or feel that it's a bully.

The Americans now have a great chance to choose a leader that will reinstate that lost respect all around the world for the US once again. And that leader without a doubt is BARACK OBAMA! People gravitate to him for his honesty and great judgement. That's what you need in an American President now.

Hillary has all the experience but no sound judgement. The word politician in the negative sense is in her blood. She's very calculating and manipulating. She has tons of experience but tons of experience being calculating and manipulating just like any old politicians.

I hope the American women will not be blind in supporting Hillary just because she's a woman and she has a lot of experience. Just really think once what are the radical changes she's brought in her experience and how many times her judgement was wrong.

OBAMA for PRESIDENT 08! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Didn't someone say Magic Johnson endorsed Mrs. Clinton? What a combo! O that's right........he did endorse her.....I get it Bill and Magic had something in common except one thing Bill put a rubber stamp on it........Magic didn't....no wonder they have alot in common. Bring back our moral standards this country was built on!!!!!!!!

VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

It;s funny that the Arizona governor is going to help Obama campaign in Nevada. I've lived in Vegas 20 years and never heard of her so... I really don't think it's such a great endorsement, personally. Bigger deal that Hillary got NV Congress woman Shelly Berkley's endorsement, I HAVE heard of her and voted for her and she won her last election by a wide margin, popular.

...But an endorsement is just that. We're smart enough (most of us) to vote for the best qualified and best suited to lead our nation.

Great Post Ken in RI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the organizational behaviour studies, it is generally true that women leaders are casted into masculine role (by male dominated environment) that they have no choice but to act tough. Therefore, it is natural for a woman to choose another male as a boss in preference to the leader of the same gender as they thought their sister will be tough upon them. Moreover, it could be due to rivallary of womanhood.

Another endorsement for Senator Obama from Governor Janet Napolitano! Woohoo for Obama!! I think this is wonderful, and the momentum is building! I am so voting for Obama! This country needs a change from the Bush/Clinton/Bush era.

Obama is poised, gracious, positive, and articulate, something I have not seen from Hillary.

At this point, I guess my next question would be: Will Al Gore be the next to endorse Obama? I hope that we see it!

GO OBAMA!!

This is turning into a superficial popularity contest. I think NPR is biased against John Edwards. Poor whites are the new slaves in this country as are poor whites with learning disabilities. Do you see me with a wife? No, of course not. And i'm in my late thirties. There are social inequalities against whites that brew in my mind still and disallow me for voting for Obama. If whites woudn't get picked on in bus stations and for being inattentive than i'd vote for Obama in a heartbeat. Just because i have the guts to say what has happened to me in life doesn't in the least mean i'm racist. So go ahead and think that i'm not forward thinking even though i've written a book and 150 poems.

Skeptically,
Geoff M.

Since the economic state of my country is directly to that of yours I have always paid close attention to the politics of the US. One thing that is obvious to me is that a Democrat will be the next president of the United States. What is troubling though is the sheer number of people in the US that seem willing to allow a relative political novice to take the helm of the most powerful country in the world. Do you really feel that he has sufficient experience? I hear a lot of talk about change, but certainly not change for the worse, I hope. Mr. Obama is quite charismatic and with another term or two as senator would probably make a very fine president. What has he really done for Illinois? He has only really functioned as senator for two years. This in my opinion is not nearly enough experience for a person you are considering trusting with the fate of a nation. A mistake here could lead to a long term recession with hundreds of thousands of foreclosures on homes and personal bankruptcies. And on the topic of Iraq, you cannot simply just back out completely. Iraq will need to be able to maintain order otherwise the government will crumble and a more radical regime may move in. Then all the lives lost would have been for nothing. If you have not already guessed, I support Hillary because I believe that she knows what she is doing. I hope that you see the light.

Obama needs all the endorsements he can get!

# The President signed into law the Brady Bill, which imposes a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases so that background checks can be done to help keep handguns away from criminals.
# The President's Crime Bill will put 100,000 new police officers on the street. More than 1,200 communities have already received grants to hire 27,000 additional officers.
# The Crime Bill also punishes criminals by expanding the number of offenses eligible for the death penalty and implementing the "three-strikes-and-you're-out" provision.
# And, the Bill banned the manufacture of 19 specific types of deadly assault weapons, while simultaneously protecting hunters' rights by exempting over 650 hunting rifles.

# Under President Clinton's leadership, almost 6 million new jobs were created in the first two years of his Administration - an average of 250,000 new jobs every month.
# In 1994, the economy had the lowest combination of unemployment and inflation in 25 years.
# As part of the 1993 Economic Plan, President Clinton cut taxes on 15 million low-income families and made tax cuts available to 90 percent of small businesses, while raising taxes on just 1.2 percent of the wealthiest taxpayers.
# President Clinton signed into law the largest deficit reduction plan in history, resulting in over $600 billion in deficit reduction. The deficit is going down for 3 years in a row for the first time since Harry Truman was president.

All I hear is Obama saying what he would have done and will do – he never says what he has done because quite frankly he just doesn't have a whole lot of experience. I'm really sick of hearing how people want a change so they'll vote for him even if he doesn't have much experience.

Maybe I should apply for Chief of Surgery at my local hospital. I have absolutely no experience whatsoever in the medical field, though I dissected a fetal pig once in college (then promptly threw up), but that would make me a pleasant change to the current 'Chief of Surgery who's old guard. And I've been told I'm very likeable. What other qualifications are there? Anyone need an appendectomy?

NO MORE BUSH OR CLINTON , U.S need Obama for good.

Look it up Folks, the clinton Regime was the greatest of all time...........

JUST BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN GREAT WOMEN LEADERS IN WORLD HISTORY DOES NOT MEAN THAT HILLARY CLINTON WOULD BE ONE - SAVE YOUR VOTES FOR THOSE WHO MATTER.

The Realist, you must be working for Fox.........

I don't get endorsements, are we voting for obama, because oprah is endorsing him? I don't think anyone is jumping on obama because kerry is now endorsing Obama, i really think only a clinton can clean this mess, it took a clinton to clean after the first bush, now we need another clinton to clean up a second bush...........If you want Prosperous, excellent economy, Jobs, safer streets, no wars etc

Vote Hillary, if not than this country will remain the same no matter who becomes president 08

Go Clintons..........

Realist08-you are so correct. Obama will never win against the Republicans. They are too skilled at the art of personal destruction. Many people doesn't like Hillary because we all know her downside. The Republicans have been after her for years-there is nothing new they can throw at her. The fact is that noone really knows Barack Obama well enough; After the Republicans finish with him we will and we will have four more years of Republican scandals. I respect all of Barack Obama's supporters on this blog; however, the truth is the truth. The Republicans will dig dig dig until they expose everything they can and turn it negative on him. They will swift boat him like they did John Kerry. I am all for change-but I don't want to change from Bush to another Republican. I am not crazy about Hillary, but at least I know what they will use against her and it will not be anything new. It will draw less attention than what they will be throwing at Barack Obama. I just want to win in 08 and I don't think Barack is strong enough at this time to handle the Republican attack machine. If we knew more about him than it may be different. Please understand that I respect everyones opinion.

Let's get real!!the only change we will be getting is the change of a person. It's still the same old Washington way. There will be no compromise between Dems & Reps. Why will the other side compromise to strengthen the power and make the incumbent president more popular? The other side would like to be in position too. This is the truth. So if you Knuckle heads who are supposed to be educated and has lots of money will vote for someone who talks about change in Washington, then your are all truly DUMB. I knew a man who talked eloquently that he persuaded a nation to start world war II and kill jews. How I wish I could talked eloquently like this candidate and persuade the elite and young minds of Ameica to vote for me. Please vote for the right person and not the fresh face and likeable person. George Bush Jr, was very likeable and now what?? the young people think that its hip and cool to vote for this guy!! the elite thinks that this fresh face is good for them to continue their good fortune. You are all wrong!!! When Bill was president we had a good economy and everybody was living well. Hillary will get us back to the good old times. But anyways, the elite has spoken and the hip and cool young minds thinks that they had to continue this short fashion fad. Certainly we would rather face another four years of uncertainty because we want a fresh face and a good talker at the white house rather than vote for an experience person.

I keep hearing that Hillary Clinton has "Experience" but we should ask ourselves what does the 35 yrs of experience she claims to have consist of? Sure she was once The First Lady, but First Ladies do not make policy decisions. They do not have national security clearances so they can not view sensitive documents. While I do admire Sen. Clinton and realize that she is a smart woman, I also know that what she has the most experience in is being a Politician. The Clintons are seasoned politicians and have been in the game for a long time. Hillary has had her mind on becoming President for a while and has been changing her positions and reshaping her image to become more appealing to the masses. She's taken hardline positions in using Military Force and have taken a more conservative view on a variety of issues. In my opinion, the biggest difference between Barack and Hillary is sincerity. When Hillary speaks, can any of you truly say that you can take her for her word and believe that it is coming from the heart? Do any of you sincerely think that her tears on TV the other day was prompted by her remorse for the plight of the average American struggling to make ends meet? Wake up people....Hillary wants the presidency really bad and had thought that getting the democratic nomination would be a cake walk. Her apparent inability at the time to combat the Obama wave was what got her emotional for none of the dirty tricks she had attempted gained any traction( remember her senior adviser going on Air and highlighting Barack's cocaine use and other members of her campaign raising the question of "did he also sell drugs"....you know because all of us black men in America are drug dealers" ).
To conclude, people are warming up to Obama because he appears genuine and you can see true passion when he speaks of change and unity. That kind of passion is hard to fake. Yes he does not have a wealth of "experience" but many of our country's greatest presidents did not have "experience" when they got elected. Just some food for thought. Thanks.

If I got the message of change as being put forward by the Obama Camp correctly an "Obama-Napolitano" bid out of the democratic party only sounds fundamentally logical... by the way, am I thinking ahead of my self here?...

It is important to know that when I hear Obama talk about "Change" I hear a visionary leader sharing an idea. I hear a man asking me "what can you do for your country?" In Obama's message of change, I hear a rallying call around a national revival. Unlike the others who overnight (after Iowa) became agents of change, Obama asks me to lend a hand in bringing about that change. He speaks to a concept as fundamentally American as the star spangled banner. Not only that, he speaks to the issues and provides a unifying atmosphere everytime.

IF OBAMA WAS FOR CHANGE, HE WOULD NOT VOTE FOR AN ENERGY BILL WRITTEN BY CHENEY AND HIS COHORTS. IF HE EVEN STOOD FOR THE AFRICAN-AMERICANS, HE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST, GONE TO JENA DURING THE NOSE HANGING INCIDENT. HE DUCKED THAT ISSUE BECAUSE IT WAS POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT TO DO THAT. NOW HE IS INVOKING MLK'S NAME. I THINK HE IS A FRAUD.

You are right. Hillary has received many endorsements withing the last 10 days. Not mentioned by the media.

January 2008
1/11 American Samoa Governor Tulafono Endorses Clinton

1/1 New Jersey Rep. Donald Payne Endorses Clinton

I SEE AN IMBALANCE IN REPORTAGE. IT APPEARS MOST OF SENATOR CLINTON'S ENDORSEMENTS ARE NOT REPORTED. ENDORSEMENTS PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN SWAYING VOTES IN ELECTIONS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE UNDERMINED BY THE PRESS.

I am for Obama but I have nothing against Hillary. The simply fact is Hillary is representative of the "Old Guard" in politics. It has become clear that forward thinking Americans want to move past the partisan bickering of the past administrations and try a collaborative new approach that gets real results. It is for this reason that Obama has become such a media darling. There is an authenticity about him the people instinctively respond to. Hillary would do a competent job but it would be just another presidency. Obama's presidency will be the the change our nation needs and help to restore our tarnished reputation in the global community.

Roy, it sounds like you need a change...

Go Obama!!! Go far far away, like Kenya or Indonesia, barack where you came from!!

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born
in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from
Wichita, Kansas.
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two
years old, his parents divorced. Hi s father returned to Kenya. His
mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.?
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama
attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a
Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also
attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that
that he is not a radical.

Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this
influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned
to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct
influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham,
introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school
in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim
terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since
it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major
public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined
the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim
background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he
DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor
will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their
hands
over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential
candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest level – through the
President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

How can some called Hilarious cry on national TV to get sympathy votes, she should be laughing.

Hillary Clinton will WIN and again this country will move forward!
Knowledge & EXPERIENCE is vital for this country, Obama is only monopolizing on the idea of Unity. Hillary will bring that too, more than Obama could ever will.

Obama is a Senator for 4 years and he is qualified to be President of the United States? No way José!

I have never voted for a Republican for President, but if Hillary doesn't get it, I'll vote for McCain. If McCain is not the Republican, I might sit this one out.

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards - three great candidates for president. It was hard for me to decide on a Democratic contender until now. With all this bickering going on about Obama and Clinton, I just might throw my support behind Edwards.

Funny, because when McCain destroys Obama in the general election the Govenor will get to name his replacement. I vote she chooses Sandra Day O'Connor to fill the term.

Go McCain!

Oprah has a lot of friends and power. I believe she will crush hillary behind the scenes.

What did Gore and Kerry have in common? – They were both deadly dull to listen to whenever they opened their mouths. Sorry to say this, but Hillary Clinton has just the same problem. She is such a dull speaker that it's almost a form of torture to listen to her. Please let's not nominate another boring dullster! Obama is the only Democrat who's any fun to listen to, and that's why he's the Democrat with the best chance to win in November.

Interesting all around. I don't remember people getting so 'into it' during the last election.

People...issues are important. Where each candidate stands is indeed important and should be weighed equally before you cast a vote. If you let passion of the moment guide you, you'll have to live with what you get.

Ask yourself what IS the primary function of the President of the USA? Is it to make decisions left and right, all alone, concerning every issue in the world? NO. The primary function of the President is to inspire people, inspire the nation, build bridges, empower Congress to do it's work.

No matter who wins, an attempt will be made to surround themselves with good people.

When was the last time you watched the State of the Union Address, and felt goosebumps because of 1 singular persons capacity to inspire and drive a nation towards bigger and better things? Who can you envision doing that? The answer is very simple, and for me, absolutely no contest.

Obama, 08.

I am responding to Illinois Indie Democrat:

Tristan never said that Obama still uses Cocaine. If you read what that commentor wrote you will see that said that we have a right to know to what extent he did use them. Tristan never said he deserves to be condemned, Tristan said that we have a right to ask him this question without being labeled a bigot.

And, you know what? I think America has the right to ask people to please simply consider the social implication of having a President that snorted cocaine and was speculated to have sold the drug.

That was all. Obviously he is no longer doing it.

That was all. This is not about whether or not someone can bounce back or not or whether people make mistakes or not. This is about what the social implications of those actions were.

THere are 14 year old children who get upset and hit another child with a bat and kill them and they go to jail for life. There is forgiveness, but there is also justice.

There are people at 20 years of age who sell cocaine or snort cocaine and serve time in jail.

Obama would be my second or third choice for president, but I must admit it frightens me to think about him as President and I'm not so sure he can beat the Republicans. If we were really honest I think we'd see that America is very conservative and the evangelical Christians hold a lot of sway and force in the Republican vote. So, really, it's not about that. I discussed his experience and I want to know more about his drug abuse. simple as that.

I don't believe questioning this be a reason for people to tell me that i am pro-Clinton and engaging in hate speech.

Cocaine kills people. Cocaine ruins lives. it's not a small thing. it's not a puff of marijuana at a party. it's not holding your breath to pretend that you're taking in a puff in a social group once in your life.

abusing cocaine and speculations on selling it is a huge deal. It tells people, "it's okay, do it, write about it and you can still be President. This is a hole you can get out of."

It is a hole that you can get out of, but it's not a hold many people do make it out of. Time proves a leader.

I agree with Tristan. I think there is a celebrity factor here.

Hmm,
Anyone think that Janet may have a place in an Obama administration?? What about V.P.??

OBAMA THEME SONG;;;;Fellow americans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see.
I assure you, and I mean it- Now, who says I don't speak out as plain as day?
And, fellow americans, I'm for progress and the flag- long may it fly.
I'm a poor boy, come to greatness. So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

Now my good friends, it behooves me to be solemn and declare,
I'm for goodness and for profit and for living clean and saying daily prayer.
And now, my good friends, you can sleep nights, I'll continue to stand tall.
You can trust me, for I promise, I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya'll...

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-
I've come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.

I agree Tronte! This is not just about being a Democrat! This is about uniting America in one vision. Truth be told, we all have philosophical elements that fall under a Republican umbrella and a Democratic umbrella – it is the nature of our country.

Let's stick to the facts.

The endorsements are good for Obama. But we need to be fair to both Obama and Hillary amongst others. The main point we voters need to understand is who is the best candidate to steward America in a challenging time overseas as well as bring real changes in health, energy, education and science. We need an experienced person who could bring those changes. We shouldn't play down any candidate just because of an endorsement. Because in the end some of these candidates could form a formidable tag team to defeat any republican candidates in the general election...lets cheer for all our Democrat Party candidates and be positive.

Steve Landing in NJ is my new favorite hero....lol Steve Landing for President!!! I almost wanted to say Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa to Tristan. I like the way you so eloquently took him to tasks for try'n to get all "Shawn Hanity" on Barack...lol

Also, i really think people should think about why a Republican would prefer Obama to be nominated than Hillary Clinton and I think you'd probably find that the answer is that Obama has a dark past. Drugs, corruption and a religion that would clash with many conservatives that Obama would need to win over in order to be president.

I think that... I think that's why Republicans are going his side.

His naivety and inexperience will benefit them. It's a complex machine that governs washington and it is better for them to have someone with inexperience than with experience.

Rob, please don't call Hillary Clinton Evil Incarnate. That is not accurate and does not strengthen your case.

Hillary has 35 years of experience leading this country, she has never snorted cocaine or been speculated to sell it to other people like Obama and she is running for President because she has a great resume and is a great candidate. She was on the ground in Iraq and she travelled to the former Yugoslavia during the United Nation's intervention and advocated for universal health care long before anybody cared for it.

It is not good for this country to say such lies about a senator who has served this country well.

Each candidate wants to improve this country. Each candidate except one will be chosen and yet that one candidate needs the support and purity of each and every other candidate.

let us get back to the facts.

GO HILLARY!

OBAMA SCARES ME.

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ADORE OBAMA, TAKE A LOOK AT HIM VIOLATING THE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

http://barackobamacandidate.org/

AND FOR ALL OF YOU WHO IGNORE HIS RELIGION, TAKE A LOOK AT HIS CHURCH:

http://www.tucc.org/black_value_system.html

IN GOD WE TRUST!

GO HILLARY!

It is very exciting to know that many leaders – Republican and Democrat – are endorsing Senator Obama. These individuals – some of whom, admittedly, are "insiders" – realize the predicament our country is in today and see promise in this young man.

What a message it will send to the world that Americans have come to value the Constitution and the goals our founders had in mind that we are a country for "all people."

The sickness we experienced in the 60's and 70's when America gained world-wide news coverage because of its inability to give rights to individuals of color now has an opportunity to show we have "come to our senses." In recent years, our reputation throughout the world has been tarnished because of the indifference of our leaders.

America is a country comprised of people of all ages, races and religious beliefs. This is what makes us great. . .this is what has led people throughout the ages to come to our country in a hope for freedom.

My grandparents came here from Norway. It was a struggle, but they made a good life for themselves, their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They left a country they loved, but one where they couldn't live with dignity.

I'm extremely proud to be an American and, as one who has traveled to other countries in the past five/six years, I want my friends in other countries to look with interest at what may (I pray, will) be a different leadership in 2009.

God bless Barack Obama. May he be our next president! His win will offer a new hope to others throughout the world!!

Let Senator Clinton use her skill and leadership to support this new leadership! And let her husband and other former presidents join President Obama in his effort to reinstitute our credibility throughout the world.

This dialogue represents a strong reason for my backing Obama. Hillary is either loved, or hated. McCain would take many, if not most of the "anti-Hillary" votes. I just don't see Hillary winning the nomination, and certainly she would not win the general. UNLESS... the GOP candidate is Romney or maybe Huckabee.

Of course, I'm just an ametuer. I thought McCain was out of it a few months ago and look what he has done. Gotta admire the man's 'never say die" philosophy. Of all the GOP candidates he may be the one who could take the White House (I will work tirelessly to make sure this does not happen).

Bottom line, it's great that folks are fired up and ready to go vote. I hope all the people submitting comments will vote. It would be hypocritical not too.

Isn't this country great? Yes, it is. Can we rebuild it? Yes we can!

Go America in 08'!

Hillary often talks about Obama's lack of experience being a reason he can't be president...but what experience does Hillary have? I guess experience gets us a war in iraq, a huge deficit,making disrespectful faces while President Bush is addressing nation after 9/11, a trail of 51 dead bodies, a health care plan that does absolutely nothing but adds to the deficit and a whole bunch of hot air. I hope one day a women does become president, but Hillary does not offer anything good for this country. GO OBAMA beat they the evil encarnate!

Denis Kucinich to me is a sore sore sore loser. he needs politcal grooming.

Change Change Change. what is the change Obama represents that any other candidate does not.

I see that we lost our sense of reason and gone for showmanship

Well whoever wants to bet can bet it if Obama wins the ticket, the Republicans will return to the White house in 08. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. this is not the issue of what pollsters say. That is what will happen. Adios

One can argue for and defend his/her choice rigorously, endlessly. But, one has to ask him/herself what made him/her take that choice, why that choice. Is it the message, the image, the medium, the bandwagon thing? Did one search his/her mind, or the heart, or what s/he sees or hears?

I've just read the comments and the one that I think stands out by any standard is that of Don Laurie.

Read or reread it. Do some soul-searching. Forget about spins, endorsements, slogans, rhetorics, orations, charisma. Look at and dissect the origin. The background. The genetic source.

BLOOD IS STRONGER THAN WATER!

A small favor for yourself: read / reread Don's comments.

To echo his last words, GOD BLESS AMERICA.!

Let me add, GOD SAVE AMERICA!

Senator Clinton for President of the United States.
She is the one,
"THAT CAN GET IT DONE"

The Clinton's don't care nothing about the people of this country, all they care about is power.... Vote for someone who believe in us. Vote for someone who will unite us. Vote for Obama.

Nice, this definitely will help regardless of what many of you may think. Sure it may not automatically be a W, but I guarantee the more public officials you have backing a candidate, the better it is for their campaign. Not only for votes, but also for funding.

oh, and if you didn't know PMS is legal.

Hurray for OBAMA!!!! VOTE OBAMA 08

For all you Hillary VOTERS THAT THINK EVERYONE HATE HER you are being rather stupid. It has nothing to do with hate but with facts. America totally do not want a president who believe she's bringing change because she's a woman running for president.. Who in this nation want a president because she have a uterus? We want a president who will bring about a positive change. A change in this economy and from the suffering we faced during the last eight years.

Governor, have you read O's record? 89.4% absent from voting in the last Quarter. He is on the Homeland Security Committee of the Senate, yet didn't vote on the 9/11 Commission's recommendations on July 26, 2007........PLEASE Governor, think and scrutinize before you speak.

Should you want to check out his Congressional record go to:

Projects.washingtonpost.com/congress

Woman should not be a President simply because we have PMS and it is hard for us to control our emotions. That is a fact, like it or not. I am not for McCain because I am 30 and he is 71. He cannot possibly know what are my needs. I am a Christian but that doesn't mean I should support Huckabee. I think Obama and Edwards are the best candidates considering that we don't have that many options.

Cheers.

What the Obama campaign needs is more endorsements like these from well respected members of the democratic party!
Go Obama!!

Why do Hillary supporters imply that anyone who supports Obama a sexist Hillary basher? By that logic Obama supporters could assume that all Hillary supporters are racist Obama bashers.

PLEASE, let's just keep to the issues like why is my millionaire grandmother allowed to receive social security at my expense? There will be nothing left when I retire in 100 years. PLEASE WILL SOMEBODY TAKE ON THE WEALTHY RETIREES AND PROPOSE MEANS TESTING TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS RETIREES CAN RECEIVE!

Who Cares! The game of endorsements is OLD politics. I'd suggest that standing on your own and opening yourself up to questions direct from the electorate is the NEW direction. Hillary gets it and people will respond.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY SWEET TALKING AND CHARISMA. GO DIG DOWN DEEPER MAM.........

I'm a lifelong democrat, never considered voting republican. If Hillery wins the nomination, I hope John Mccain wins the republican nomination so I have a candidate to vote for.

Ah com'on, this endorsement is kinda like a 'who cares'? Even if she had endorsed Clinton, I'd still be saying that. Think about it, do you really vote for the candidate ur mayor/governor/etc endorses? How much sway do they really have with you?

And all u obama fans out there, I just gotta say: it's good to want change and be optimistic, but at some point, you gotta come back down to Earth and see who ACTUALLY did anything FOR change, and I am pretty sure Clinton actually did more for change than Obama ever did.

if obama wins , mcain is going to beat him so bad , and they will keep the house and why , because obama is lazy he never vote for any lesgilation or law that are important to people , and the guy has done nothing for anyone .... this is why i am voting for hillary , she has work .

Obama is for change, Hillary is for the special interest. You have to be stupied not to know that.
Henry, California.

Obama is the candidate to bring a TRUE NEW GENERATION of change to the American Politics...he represents the young people who wants to see a new light,new change..new fresh air in politics...i believe he would best represent the people of America.....we have tried the ones who have been in this for all these years and got caught up in the same redirect with no fresh vision for america....here is a man who has been in the politics for 20years devoting his life for CHANGE (check the records) while these folks are talking about junior politician...but hillary is only a junior herself as a senator...she may have experience because of her husband,but that don't matter to me...also i can understand why some DEM and some REB are scared of him...because once again he is young and fresh and choose NOT to get involved in there odinary tatics...Hillary say she is a AGENT FOR CHANGE...oh come on now....she collecting money from the same people who is ripping off America and also controlling Washington!!!! Let's vote for someone who is really for a change that won't allowed themself to get run over from the same people who is holding the top office hostage....there is a old saying if you start of the old way you will end that way...AMERICA WE SAY WE WANT A NEW DAY IN POLITICS,A NEW DAY FOR OUR EVERYDAY LIVING,A NEW DAY FOR CHILDREN AND LOVE ONE'S THEN IT'S OUR TIME NOW TO ELECT A TRUE AGENT OF CHANGE .....................OBAMA 08............NOW OR NEVER

Why would any politician want to endorse at this stage? There is everything to lose and mostly enemies to gain. Why do this before the primaries are over?
L.ynda

Hillery Clinton – Cold , calculating, looks like the cat who just swollowed the canary. Don't trust her, even too liberal for me and I consider myself a liberal.
When did being married to the president is the only qualification needed to be president. Without Bill campaingning for her she's a nobody.

This means that the masses of people support Obama. The world hopes and prays for an Obama victory. America's leadership wants Obama.

THe power is truly in the hand of the American voter to change this world. To bring America back to a positive light. This is an epic battle between:

Everyone's hopes and prayers, America's last chance for redemption
v.
Hillary Clinton's ambition

All you Obama supporters voting for him because is such a nice guy. Well his campaign is fueling that the Clintons are racists. Give me a break. You can say a lot of things but this is not one of them. I guess you can't say anything about him without being racists. All the African American leaders that loved the Clintons for all they did for civil rights now turning on them because Obama an African American running is disgusting. There is articles all over the internet about Obamas people fueling this notion. He will never get my vote.

I am a female, Hispanic Democrat from Tucson, AZ and I must say Janet's endorsement is a big deal. I have been undecided between Hillary and Obama. I respect Janet and many of her decisions as a gov. therefore I think it is unwise for someone out of this State to diminish her endorsement. I was surprised when I heard the news, I was sure she would back Clinton because of her association with Bill and his administration. I am still undecided, but I will say that Napolitano's decision has made an impact.

I feel as if I've been swimming in Bush's spit for the last 8 years. I'm surpirsed I haven't drowned! I believe we have just one more chance to right the direction of this country and our standing in the eyes of the world community and Barack Obama is the man to do it. Sen. Obama has said that change is not easy and can't be done overnight. Now that's honest!!! But we have to begin somewhere. Sen. Obama is a breath of fresh air - honest, intelligent, poised, emphathic, a very special human being who can inspire and heal us and bring us together as a nation. GOD, DO WE NEED THIS MORE THAN EVER NOW. Even Republicans respect Sen. Obama. I'm sure they wish they had him on their team!! Hillary is not the answer. Just because I'm a woman, it is assumed that I will automatically vote for Hillary, but those "tears" just turned me off even more. PLEASE FOLKS, see through her. And regarding health care, didn't Hillary promise that in her first 100 days as First Lady, she would pass through a universal health care bill? Or am I imagining this? And, has anyone noticed that lately and suddenly, Hillary - and all the other candidates - are throwing the word "change" into their political vocabulary?

I want to breathe fresh air again!! Thank you, Janet Napolitano for endorsing Sen. Obama.

Go Obama '08!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A BIZARE POLITICAL WORLD THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE LIVING IN!

Obama had never aggressed Hillary, he had all along the campaign remained positive, correct and gentle. He had never been negative. While the Clinton couple had engaged political campaigns that are long on sleaze and short on substance. Obama never apologized to Hillary for negative ad. How comes that because in Hillary’s own audience a sexist behavior manifested by an attendee could provoked a situation for which Barack Obama is not responsible and lead to an instantaneous retaliatory attack from the “women legion” to going after Barack Obama? The true winner at NH had in fact never been Hillary Clinton but the Republican hopeful who would ultimately emerge from the caucuses. All republican hopefuls know how divisive Sen. Clinton is in the American opinion, and how easy it would be for them to make short work of her as the democratic nominee, so are they feverishly praying God every night and every day to let them have Hillary as the democratic nominee so as to have their dream finally come true through a crashing defeat. For, they know in advance that no torrent of tears will ever save her. They all know that heir lachrymal or tear glands have dried out very long ago, as she never had emotion. The person whose question triggered her crocodile tears few minutes later wrote that Hillary Clinton is emotionless being. The People of the USA who are neither as naive nor stupid as the Clinton imagine too will sooner than later discover the reality. They cannot be indefinitely duped. Such a duplicitous behavior is just one of the numerous negative experiences that Sen. Hillary Clinton has. OBAMA MUST REMAIN CANDID. SUCH BEHAVIOR WILL UTIMATELY HELP HIM PREVAIL

The Governor of IOWA Vilsack endorsed Clinton. What happened? Al Gore came out and endorsed Dean in the last presidential election. What happened? People get too enamored with this endorsement stuff. It is good for the media to talk about but nothing to it.

I am a 27 year veteran and I support Senator Clinton. I think experience counts as well as getting things done. She knows people all over the world and has the ability to talk to anyone. I am "not" voting for her husband, I am voting for her. I hope she breaks the glass ceiling in place. I admire her for all the bashing she has taken. The reason no one says anything about OBAMA is because he is black . The press would pounce on it as racism. It's a shame, that everything said about OBAMA that may be a hint of racism is taken out of context. I don't think he should sail into the presidency without answering questions. Also, the fact that he missed 100 votes in the senate is not good. I will never believe that the senate would waste their time voting for 100 unconstitutional votes. He insulted every senator when he said all those "100" issues were unconstitutional and that it was their problem if they voted on them. If I missed 100 days of work, I would have been discharged from the military and given a dishonorable discharge. He needs to show up and vote on "ALL" issues. It is his responsibility as a Senator put in office by the people of Chicago. How can you be a leader of a Nation if you will not vote on controversal issues for a State. He needs a little more experience under his belt. We don't need another likable guy next door for President. We did that last time and look at the mess we are in.
A president who invokes fear and lies, a immoral unprovoked war, thousands of dead American soldiers, thousands of maimed soldiers, bad economy,no jobs.
lost homes, families devastated by this war, homeless families, no health care for thousands of American citizens. We need someone who can deliver not make us feel good. Also, because he is black does not guarantee him the black vote. This position is so wrong and can lead to disaster in this country. Stop hating and vote responsibly.

I agree that CNN is biased against Senator Clinton.

I am glad the GOD I serve, that when I stand in front of him to give account for me, he will not say, " because of your husband, I will condemn you.

GOD is not a respector of persons. The People who vote will determine the next President.

this discussion is uplifting and polemical and tense, but that's part of a democracy. It's part of running for office.

It's not good to ask another person who is asking questions to not ask them.

this is such an important election.

chuks – a global village. I think that is everybody's dream here. everybody! And I think that public transportation development in America is one of the best ways to achieve that! Chucks, why don't you ask Wolf to ask each of the candidates that question!

I think that would be awesome! Imagine trains and light rail and buses all over America!

It would mean that we would have an opportunity to mix, sit over coffee, walk down a plaza, in a garden and it's obviously the best way to conserve oil.

Susan, the news media did indeed cover the comments made by Calzone... a full year ago. Everything Calzone posted is false.

It scares me that voters such as yourself would rely on information you get in a chain letter email or posted by some random person on a blog instead of actually doing your own research.

Can anybody ask Hillary why she's gradually replacing her message of experience with change. Oviousely, she's copying Obama who started from day one with "CHANGE". That tells me she's gonna copy the same old people that put America where we're today. it doesn't take a lifetime to garner the necessary experience to lead a country. Leaders are born and/or made. Hillary can be "MADE" a leader BUT Obama is born and made. We all can see it in his message.

GO-OBAMA. MAY GOD SEE YOU THROUGH, AMEN.

Gov. Napolitano- THANK YOU for heeding all of the letters you received from us – your constituents.

America is at a crossroads and we are in need of REAL change. A change that can only come from someone who is fresh, positive, experienced, honest and most of all – truly hopeful for the future of America. We need to embrace a change that will propel us forward, not take us backward. OBAMA is the candidate who can see where we are now, can see where we should be and has the drive, understanding and ability to take us there.

And, with Hillary as his Vice President, we've got the best of all possible scenarios!

Thanks again, Gov. Napolitano for endorsing a candidate for REAL change. And if it were up to me – I'd love to see YOU as VP!

Since the world is a Global Village with America as the Village square, it is important that the Village Chief (US President)be a person whose personality would precipitate peace and inspire unity from America to all corners of the World.
oh! Eureka!! i've found it.
BARAK OBAMA FOR WHITE HOUSE. Be Positive. Be upwardly Mobile.
Go for CHANGE!
OBAMA '08. BE THERE.

Karl Rove and the Republicans will walk all over Obama. They are already getting ready. The Democrats will nominate another candidate that the Republicans will walk all over like they did Kerry and they, the Republicans, will win. They have been after Hillary for years and even they, the Republicans, admit she continues to stand. I personally like Obama, but I feel like he doesn't have the experience to resist the Republican attack machine. The economy is heading for a recession, stock market is down, unemployment is up, two wars, etc.......Times are challenging for me to vote on the hopes of change. I want to vote on me keeping my job, my home, and bringing down the debt. I am voting for someone that has experience with these things. I personally prefer neither-Obama nor Clinton, but I will go with the older and more experienced. If we were at a time of peace and prosperity than I may take a chance and vote for "Change". I know that regardless who is in Washington very little will change regardling people working together-change is slow to come.

And if ANYONE tells you Obama is muslim or took his Oath of Office on the Koran, They are Hillary supporters trying to smear or slander the Honorable Senator from Illinois. He's Christian and has never done that, A Fact Check has been confirmed:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/91424

Address this if you see it posted in any other forums.

I would like to know what Hillary's plans are for public transportation development and what plans she has that have earned her Amalgamated Transit Union's endorsement. They represent 180,000 bus drivers.

I think that's a great question. I haven't heard a presidential candidate talk about public transportation in this country and how behind it really is. Amalgamated Transit Union's endorsement of Hillary impresses me and I'd like to know her plans.

Don Laurie -

What Calzone from Ohio has written regarding Obama's Muslim beliefs is completely untrue. There are multiple problems with what this person has written. Please refer reputable source to look up information on Obama's history.

THE BOTTON LINE IS THAT OBAMA REPRESENTS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR...HE IS NOT CORRUPTED LIKE MISS Thing OLD SCHOOL ESTABLISHMENT HILLARY.. and can someone remind Hillary we are in 2008 going to 2009,2010 etc... and get rid of MR SLICK BILL low life CLINTON...he is soooo the past.. a horrible past...Hillary should to start dating SOMEONE "NEW"...perphaps Ellen Degeneres can bring some FRESH NEW votes for her

Is it possible to support one's favorite candidate without degrading (mostly with emotion based nonsense, untruths, and flat out lies) the other candidates? Politics is becoming more and more ridiculous as each day passes. This ihas become such an emotional process and if we are not careful, facts will no longer matter! Currently I am undecided as I feel I don't know enough about any of the candidates

What is it that this guy obama has that school girls,white women, both young and old, single and married are so hungry for? Are these people the original desperate housewives?

Thanks to Calzone from Ohio I got the anwser to my question thanks, and to think of all the men and women that have died over a Musllim war.

Who said Napolitano is popular in Arizona?

Our Sons and Daughter are dieing and This is who is running for President

Go Obama!!! We need a Leader, who can unite our political partys, and is respected by everyone. Obama is the One!!!

PS: Hillary and her supporters need to stop crying.

I am proud to finally see that a Democrat as strong and smart as Hillary Clinton is standing up to helping those that are suffering the most in this country right now with the proposal of an emergency economic stimulus package.

Our govenment has to wake-up and realize we can't afford to continue to police the world and let adverage Americans be left behind in cold without homes, heat and the necessities that we all need to survive. Way to go Hillary – finally someone has the Chutzpah, the BRAINS and HEART to tell the truth and not be afraid of what her opponents will try and throw back at her. Maybe voters will wake-up and realize she is the candidate of real change.

Janet Neapolitano, John Kerry or anyone who plans to endorse a candidate should just inform the candidate and not to the press. We do not care who you endorse, we have the ability to make up our own decisions

I didn't even know who the Governor of Arizona was, until the media made a big deal of her endorsement of Obama.
These types of endorsements only try to sway the voters, and I think most people are smarter than to put too much weight on them.
everyone needs to familiriaze themselves with all the candidates, the issues, and where they all stand.
I'm going to vote for who I feel is the most capable to do the job, not because of the endorsements they receive form other elected officials.

John Kerry felt forever slighted by Hillary berating his "getting stuck in Irag for boys who won't go to school." In retaliation, Kerry endorsed Obama. Now, what did Hillary do to Gov. Neapolitano to prompt her to retaliate and go Obama? People having axes to grind are using the primary/caucus season to vent their vindictiveness on Hillary. Gov. Neapolitano is the latest. Predictably, there might be more. What is becoming clear is that Obama is dividing, not unifying, the Democratic Party. To preserve unity, no Democrat should be endorsing anyone. Let the Democrats individually think for themselves free from political pressure form any Governor. How can a party splintered by Kerry and Neapolitano's endorsements win in November 2008? Moreover, this is the first and perhaps the last chance in many years for a woman to ascend the Presidency of the US – a testimonial that the American woman can lead as President and that White House is not exclusively for men. Gov. Neapolitan is not aware of this. His endorsement of Obama is an endorsement of an uncertain future for America in the hands of an inexperienced Obama. Crowing "Hope" and "Change" are not enough. They are meaningless and they can only mean GAMBLING the future of AMerica in the hands of inexperienced Obama. Somebody please resuscitate Gov. Neapolitano into rationality soon before it is too late not only for her but for her ilk. Another thing, Gov. Neapolitano's endorsement of Obama or any Democratic will be dwarfed by Arizona's going all the way for its favorite son, John McCain. So, Janet's endorsement of Obama bottom line is NOTHING and NO-WAY for Arizonians. Arizona will be red state come November 2008. Nice try ingratiating Barack, governor (obviously HOPING for better treatment from Barack than from the Clinton in a political past.

You people talk about Hillary like you have sat in her living room. You havent and you wouldnt like it if someone spoke of your mother in that way. So you need to stick to facts and not your personal opinions.

Calzone from Ohio your comments are very interesting. Wonder why news media didn't publicize this? Were they too hell-bent in focusing on Mitt Romney's religion? Biased reporting as usual.

I'm for Hillary!

I also wanted to mention that Republicans voted in Iowa and NH. I think they are trying in influence the vote. I know the have Reps. for Obama and no doubt will cross over to help Obama. I hope she pulls through like she did in NH. I agree that the latin vote will mostly go for Hillary, at least the majority of it will and she may win Navada. In any case she will do good on super Tuesday.

Go Obama! We need a break from the past. Clinton will only bring anger, division, infighting not only with Republicans, but also Democrats. It is sad how Bill (attack dog) attacked Obama and twisted history. Oh well, seems the Clinton machine will try to tear Obama apart. If we stick together, we will see an Obama in the White House with Richardson as his VP. Bravo for the endorsements; Obama appreciates THIS SUPPORT TO include his followers. However, he needs to continue talking to the people who have the power to overcome the Clintons and their mean and nasty machine. I really do not understand all the people who support HC but it is okay; Obama will win and will bring them along for the ride – he already has thus far by being the first to practice and the have the rest of the people who are running for the White House calling for change; this includes HC – SHE HAS FOLLOWED HIS LEAD. OBAMA IS A LEADER WHO WILL LEAD AND WE CAN LIVE WITH AS OUR PRESIDENT!

It ceases to amaze me that so-called strong willed women would vote for a woman who has been ran over by her own husband on numerous occasions! For a woman to forgive her husband once for cheating on her is admirable, but three or four or more times? What kind of self respect do you have to have to continue to look the other way? Looks like she needs Bill just as much as He needs her for their own political dreams! I was brought up by a single mother...now that was a strong woman! GO OBAMA

The candidate of "change"? Changing what? His socks? His underwear? Pocket change? When John Roberts interviewed Obama the morning after NH, he skated around every question. Never a straight answer. He distorts his own record and when people call him on it he claims their twisting his words. I'm a registered Dem, but if this guy runs, I'll seriously consider jumping the fence.

am glad to see that ppl are going with Obama…because bill is receiving pension for being president now the wife wants to be president so that will be 2presidential pension they will be getting….lol also there was the father and son who got elected to office (bush) now husband and maybe PRESIDENT…..is this what America is coming to….and i for 1 do not believe in that fake tare matter of a fact i watch in slow motion there wasn't no tear….Obama make America proud by winning sir so the world can cum as 1 at the table to negotiate for better than to say either this way or the high….am sorry but we have seen the same people take control of Washington and jack it out up…let's try someone who is fresh and is Not caught up in the gimmick and getting more lobbyist support,but someone who is for a REAL CHANGE!!!!!!!..OBAMA YOU SIR HAVE MY VOTE

Thank you Janet! You understand the need to have REAL change in this country. Another 8 years of a Clinton is not a change. Go Barack!

Anyone who calls themselves a Democrat and then calls Napolitano or Obama a member of the Democratic Socialist Party is in the wrong group. Go join the John Birch Society, you will fit in quite well. Obama, Napolitano, Clinton – all part of the same corporatist Democrats. The hell with pragmatic and conciliatory gestures. The Republicans have run roughshod over the Conbstitution for the past 8 years, destroyed the economic base of the country (thanks in part by the Clintonistas and the DLC) and are pushing us furrther and further toward Armageddon. No compromise with the right wing.

Cush – You posted: "I think it's good for the Obama campaign; whether it makes a difference or not, hard to say. But it is SOOO agreed: Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton would not be good for the country…"

No "Cush" it is not SOOO agreed. Speak for yourself. I think Clinton would be great for the country and Obama would be another G.W. Bush disaster. If you want to hate Sen. Clinton, go right ahead. But there are plenty of us out here who dont and would welcome another Clinton presidency. So, really, speak for yourself.

To Mary and Tristan: The cap lock button is to the left of the A key (on a laptop) and on the upper right of your keyboard (on a desktop). It's a good thing all of the candidates support better education!

Stop the hate, stop the anger, stop paying the media so much attention... listen to the candidates, find out ON YOUR OWN what they stand for, and make YOUR OWN mind up.

The majority of his commentary is a prime example of the devisive rhetoric and just plain blind anger towards those who are different from us that is tearing this country apart.

Be yourself, take responsibility for yourself, and respect others and their opinions. After all, freedom of speech is one of the rights that has made this country great, but that so few people exercise responsibly.

In the end all of this crap-talk and anger won't mean anything. Cast your vote ... in the end, that is all that matters.

I remember John F. Kennedy's funeral on television...I was six...I remember newscasters crying during the funeral. Believe me, Obama is no Kennedy, although he is very gifted at "speaking."

I also remember when politics was about respecting those who were elected.

I get disgusted when politicians smear one another, but I get equally disgusted when I see all of these blogs that aren't any better than the politicians, in my opinion, which doesn't really matter, anyway.

Isn't anyone interested in finding out what Obama's, or Hillary's actual plans are? I for one see America hanging by a thread financially right now, and DRASTIC action will need to be taken. Isn't anyone concerned over the fact that Foreign governments are buying our businesses and our real estate? How many people have or are about to, lose their homes? How many must die before health care is available to everyone? How many children have been left behind after the implementation of "No child left behind?"

Who cares if "Bill" could not keep his dingaling housed? NEITHER COULD KENNEDY. But I have to ask myself what kind of love and commitment kept a woman faithful to her husband anyway....(Both Clinton and Mrs. Kennedy)

I am listening BOTH to Obama and Clinton. I am looking deeper than a wonderful speaker, and what the plans are and will vote for whom I feel is the best candidate period.

Obama's endorsements are rolling in ...and who comes to Hilary's defense ... none other than Karl Rove... clearly the republicans are looking for the path of least resistance

I would just want to say that I hope Obama gets the nomination and Lou Dobs or Mike Bloomberg are drafted in as his running mate. Most of the American voters could then get the change they want and the experience to do it right first time. Common sense not party divides could rule the roost

I will leave now, but I will pray daily for whoever is reading this to be honest with yourselves. If Hillary Clinton had admittedly abused cocaine extensivly and for a long-time and was speculated to have sold the drug as well while she was immersed in that world, do you think we would be asking her this?

Why, then please, someone, tell me, why American can't ask Obama if he sold cocaine? Why can't we ask him how long he snorted it? Why can't we talk frankly about his record?

Why can't we play his tapes and stop them and say, "Hey, wait a minute, what did he just say? Isn't that the opposite of what he said on such and such a date?"

And then, someone please tell me, that if I ask you to do this – you tell me that I am being a bigot and playing dirty politics?

Isn't playing dirty politics telling me "My wife won't let me run in 8 years," and "my wife still shops at target," and "i lived abraod when I was 10 years old and this qualifies me for foreign policy management"

I MEAN – aren't those sensationalistic psychological games and lies?

and from what i see here ,is obama and john Edward attack on Hillary first because she was ahead ,so who ever started the fight is the wrong side.

Oprah asked if Obama is the man? Are you the man Obama?

I think Obama is the man, he is the real deal, his message is resonating in the democratic party and the republican party. Now everyone is talking about change.

Even without winning yet, people have already embraced his message. That is what i called a borned leader. What a magnetism.

Go Barack, fired up and ready to go.

It is a good thing more people and more Politian’s realize, Obama is the best choice for the country.

I am starting to think most of you on here are working for the various camps (Clinton/Obama)!!! The way you are personally attacking these candidates is unbelieveable and that is what we claim you don't like!!!

If you have a problem with decisions they have made in the past or what they stand for just articulate that...whether you like Clinton or Obama, one of them will be the the party nominee right before your very eyes and you will get a chance to express your choice by voting but don't be so hateful to anyone of them..

I personally am a Hillary supporter and nothing anyone says can ever sway me but I think the world of Barack I just won't vote for him that is what democracy is all about.

Just remember you will never find a perfect president..how perfect do all of you that voted for George Bush think he is now? Bill Clinton had a much better track record as a matter of fact you couldn't even compare....and by the way I am an African-American woman!!!

Vote Hillary!!!!!!

u think it is fair that john Edward and obama double team attack Clinton? if you think it is fair ,then don't say it is not fair that bill Clinton and Hillary clinton attach on obama!!!

The Clintons will do anything to get elected and stay in office. Do not for get America: "I did not have relations with that woman"; "I did not inhale" , and now in '08 its "I did not know about that planted question in the audience".....the bottom line is if Clinton becomes the Democratic rep. its over for that party. They will rip her apart. The republicans will vote for their candidate, the Independents and Democrats who hate the Clintons because of past embarrassment will also vote for the republican candidate end of story.

he will NOT win.

A couple of monthsago, the media had choosen Hillary as their favourite and their darling and Bill Clinton didnt have a problem with that.
No their is someone who can make a credible challenge for her front runner position, He is Wining and getting the endorsment of high profile Democrats and suddenly the media is no longer fair towards Hillary.
Obama is a great choice, we would depart from the politics of old and move towards uniting America. That is why he is getting these endoresments.

Speak for yourself Latina Voter.
I'm Hispanic and would rather see an Obama Presidency, than another Clinton one. Please no more blanket statements. And No, The LA mayor endorsement will have very little traction among regular voters. Among his allies, yes, but not the masses that can vote. Edwards supporters are always welcome in the Obama camp, and I hope Edwards gets some position in the administration if he doesn't get on the ticket for VP.

Si Se Puede!

tristan penton give it a break on the drug thing. people make mistakes and obama has been truthful about his past and hasn't tried to hide anything. americans believe in forgiveness ......... so should you. Volunteer for obama at his website, i have in new hampshire and i will be in south carolina, nevada, or both. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!! Jump on the OBAMA EXPRESS!!!!!!!

Now that Governor Richardson withdrew, I think is a perfect time to push for
Clinton/Richardson as a powerful team to lead us for the next four years. Go Hillary and Bill!!

to Latino voter in CA

Give it up. CNN is known for moderating things to death and dumping them at the bottom. Yesterday they NEVER posted my blogs.

Reply to:Calzone from Ohio

You are exaktly whats the down side with USA
You belive every lie Fow news have said despite they have been proven wrong and had to apologize. Obamas dad was not a muslim and that doesent even matter, what matter is how he will be as president, if i am right this nation is called the land of the free Calzone from ohio. He also has been a member of the christian church for about 15 years, but it wouldent batter me if he was a muslim becous THAT DOESENT MATTER! and about that school he went to in Jakarta , it is religius free, they even had a interview with the teachers on that school, both christians, buddists and muslims go to that scool.

You are afraid of Obama just becouse he doesent have two american parents, grow up, you are a racist

Let's face it Clinton is old school, this country does not need old fashioned politics running it's government as this nation moves further into the third millennium, and Obama has new ideas and approaches to solving this nations problems. If people think Clinton has anything new to bring to the table they are fooling themselves, look at the situation w/Bush, the republicans put George Jr in because of George Sr, and he turned out to be worse. So let us leave the past behind and move on to the future.

Calzone from Ohio, what you are trying to get at here just simply doesnt make any sense.
Obama is a Christian, and an American and with American Values.
Did Hillary' 08 put you up to this?

I just wish that Obama's supporters would have some substance behind their argument that justifies him to hold the most powerful job in the world.......The man has absolutely no experience of managing people....let alone manage a country of 300 m....... as Carl Rove pointed out.... he has done nothing in the senate to pass any noticable reform.......He has not walked the walk to be able to talk the talk that he is fooling a lot of people with.....He is a talker......I am voting for a doer...... go Hillary

I think her endorsement shows she can think for herself and not simply vote Hilary cause she's a woman! Furthermore I am grateful to Kucinich for asking for a recount to rid my state of the taint and doubt that has been given it . And furthermore OBAMA got 12 delegates here- Clinton only got ELEVEN

Looking at the posts of Obama's schooling , church backings of Africa , etc. why would Oprah endorse any other canidate? Has she bothered to build any schools here in America? We have very needy people right here at home in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Obama, his church and Oprah send their money first to Africa. And let's not forget, he is the Senator representing the state her show calls home. I will no longer watch Oprah after her little road trip with Obama and suggest others boycott her as well. Politics is not her call, she needs to stick to diets. Have they both forgotten that this is America first. Wake up, wake up voters of America or you might just end up calling America Africa. Our people need support right here at home. Why don't Oprah look outside her door at the homeless . Who's building anything for them?

OBAMA IS DA MAN.

Some of you’ve not seen the light enough and might end up stock under the family of Bush to Clinton to Bush to Clinton because i guess they are the only American family, think about if your family or someone else will ever get a shoot... pray for a change and go with Obama if u have this country interest in mind, or continue be a name bangers

Philly!

Tristan,

Your repetition of the "Obama sold coke" mantra screams much more loudly about how easy you are manipulated than it says anything about him. The claim is wrong, it's slime, and everyone knows it.

Do you take pride in simply spouting negative spin from Senator Clinton's campaign? I'm sure you are an intelligent, independently-minded person but your posts this morning suggest the opposite.

However, if you want Senator Clinton to lose, you should continue. As you may know, this attack line from HRC's campaign was viewed to be over the line by many patriotic Americans in the African American community. Bill's "boy" comments haven't helped either.

So, you're more than free to continue spouting that defamatory line of slime but you might want to think twice.

We have been BushWhacked and Clintonized enough in this country. Some body had better flip Hillary over because her GOOSE is cooked!

WHY DON,T YOU PUBLICEZE HILLARY 'S ENDORSEMENTS ,?
BECAUSE I KNOW AND YOUR TOO,SHE HAS MORE ENDORSEMENTS THEN ALL CANDIDATES PUT TOGETHER,
IT IS WIDELY NOTORIOUS THAT BEFORE NH PRIMARY , THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES AND THE MEDIA JUST PUNDITS ON HER EVERY SINGLE MINUTE,
CNN,MSMBC( CHRIST MATHEW).FOX NEWS ETC,ECT...........AFTER NH RIMARY
ALL OF YOUR ARE IGNORING HER,AT SAME TIME YOUR ARE PROMOTING OBAMA,.ALL OF YOU WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW AT THE END THEY WILL TIER OBAMA IN IN PIECES
AMERICA NEED A GOOD NEXT PESIDENT , AMERICAN NEED HILLARY CLINTON POR PRESIDENT OF THE US,

It's really fascinating, in a sad, put your head down sort of way, that people feel the need to belittle the other candidate in an effort to make the individual they support appear superior. Concratulations to all of the Democrats for getting behind their candidate and for coming out in such numbers. Concratulations to Hillary, Barack, Bill, Chirs, Joe, and Dennis, for having the confidence and the desire to even attempt to lead this nation. It is always easier for us to sit back and throw stones, regardless of the candidate, than it is for us to stand up and truly take a principled approach to discussions and differences of opinion.

I honestly "like" all of the candidates and I believe that all will be a decidedly correct step in the right direction. When it comes to "changing" Washington D.C from a legislative standpoint, people need to realize that the system is set up, intentionally, for incremental change. Every decade or so a piece of legislation will be considered "sweeping" be the press and those that back it, but in the grand scheme of things, all of the changes that we have seen and will see are still small steps in one direction or another.

While I will feel comfortable voting for any of the Democratic candidates in the general election, I have come to support Barack Obama. Not becuase of a belief that he can make "sweeping" changes to the system, but simply becuase when I listen to him, hear his passion, here his hope, I am inspired to make the changes that I can in my life, in my family, and in my community.

There is nothing wrong with healthy dialogue, their is nothing wrong with supporting a specific candidate, there is nothing wrong with hope. There is something wrong with attempting to belittle someone to make yourself appear bigger. It's what we teach our kids, perhaps we should listen to our own lessons.

oh, Calzone, I saw this email the other day...how misinformed some people are:

He's an American citizen. He converted to Christianity when he was 20. That Wahabi stuff was discredited - someone had the story wrong...I believe it was CNN. Perhaps his wife is a member of the United Chruch of Christ...oh yes, she is!! That's why he is a member.

yes, he used a Bible when he was sworn in. Not a Koran like some people slander. The only Muslim in Congress is a democrat from Minnesota!

So let's all be careful what we say...and the fact is, people change. When he was attending a Muslim school at 6 doesn't mean he can't be a Christian when he's 46.

Who cares Who endorsed whom?
That doesn't influence anyones vote.
Democracy doesn't work that way.
Obama lost NH, when almost every single paper and all the liberal groups there were vigorously advocating for him.
When will this obama-geek-squad snap out of the ciber-space?
Welcome to the real world people.

Wow! I'm really surprised but I still think Hilary will win the nomination! I think the party thinks that in a general election all those college students are going to run to the polls. I don't think it will happen! Obama will have higher negatives than Hilary when is all said and done. Obama has no experience and no record that he as even created change. He voted present in Illinois on a lot of legislation. If he gets the nomination the Dems will wake up once the media turns on him and the republicans start bringing out his record. I really don't know why so many people are blind to this but the Dems are famous for nominating people that can't get elected. I used to be a republican that went Ind. I really want Hiliary to win but I would never vote for Obama. Most of my friends that are Reps and Ind feel the same way. I know that people want the Rep. out of office but they will win the White House with Obama. I know I would vote for them or maybe Bloomberg. I really hope Nevada is smarter that the govenor of AZ. I'm really surprised.

people realize that obama is a different kind of politician and a different kind of human being ......... people realize that he will be a special president if given the chance. i will be volunteering in south carolina, nevada, or both. if you want to volunteer in those states or another state for super tuesday february 5th ............. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to congratulate my home state US Senator (Mr. Obama) on his endorsement from the Governor of Arizona. I would like to challenge Tristian on his charge. I think that you should get your facts straight and come to Chicago, Illinois where people who have known Mr. Obama for years can tell you that he is not a drug user as an adult. It amazes me that people use the fear card and do not know the facts of this man. He did drugs when he was a TEENAGER!!!! it is in HIS BOOK!!!! so get your facts straight. Mr. Obama did not have a father figure in his life, and he resorted to using drugs an an outlet for his pain. I would have thought that many people would sympathize with Mr. Obama, especially when it comes to not having your own father in your life and only relying on your mother to be both parents. His mother tried her BEST to raise Mr. Obama on her own, and I think it is sad and disgusting for individuals to judge him like this. It insults me and the rest of his constituents when people make these wild allegations about Mr. Obama. I find it funny how so many would sympathize with Hillary while she cries, but saying in the same breathe "O Obama is a cocaine user." Another false allegation is Mr. Obama being Muslim. Now I know a saying that is goes back to when my grandmother was kid, if you break up the word ASSUME what do you get? Exactly so people stop ASSUMING Mr. Obama is Muslim just because his middle name is Hussein heck I know someone whose middle name is Issac and he is Spanish so does that make him Jewish? I feel that this nominating process is becoming way out of control, and will only get worse because now we see a lot of issues within the Democratic Party on race and gender. I told my friends that I wish this process didn't have to come down to this because our country needs healing, and this will just create more problems for our country down the road. So I hope I am wrong in predicting this, but I believe this party will be divided come convention time, and through this friction the republicans will get back into the White House for 4 more years. I am basing my observation on the trend of complete hatred from both the pro Clinton groups and the pro Obama towards one another.

Thank you, governor Napolitano.

Obama will win the democratic primary and go on the win the presidency. Yeah!

Craig

Jon Corzine endorsed Hillary Clinton in Nevada.

Know what? That endorsement cost her my vote. Corzine is a tax hiker who is trying to make NJ fiscally responsible with irresponsible actions.

First he raises the sales tax in hopes of reducing property taxes.

Then he says we have a $4 billion shortfall.

Now he wants to double tolls on NJ roads and add new ones which will still make us short on covering the shortfall.

While he wanted the state to pay out $450 million over 10 years to build a state of the art stem-cell research center. That would have required bonds to be issued.

How about cutting spending and taking the education department to task?

You know what? Endorsements don't mean squat. Seems more like cronyism if anything.

What will you do for us for the next 4 years? That's what we want to know and judge you on.

I think it's good for the Obama campaign; whether it makes a difference or not, hard to say. But it is SOOO agreed: Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton would not be good for the country...

Why are we hating within our own party? Bringing people together should begin within our own party. Agree to disagree but remember, whoever the Dems nominate we have to support.

Clem you are so right:

Change is not accepting endorsements from the same health companies that stopped her the first time. Follow the money. For Clinton campaign to say you can't hope for change is ridiculous.

Hope becomes action. Like the hope of harriet tubman, the hope of MLK, the hope of women voting. Hope is an evidence of a spirit dwelling for something. Change is not Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quale, Clinton/Gore, Bush/Cheney, Clinton/??. Come on lets be real about this.
_______________________________________________________________

Change is not saying you're gonna fight the lobbyists when your campaign co chair is a lobbyist. Change is not being against the Iraq War from the beginning yet voting to fund it over and over again. Change is not saying that you think all Unions are special interest groups yet accepting the endorsement of one in Nevada.

Hope does become action...over time and your examples prove just how long. Is America supposed to wait till the end of his 'Presidency' before any action happens. Is he gonna just hope away the ensuing recession. Is he gonna hope us into health care.

If it takes another Clinton to fix another Bush's mess, I'm all for it.

Calzone from Ohio–

You are either a filthy liar or a complete idiot, and either way I thank God that I'm not you.

To Calzone from Ohio –

Question: Do you have anything better to do than to start false conspiracies? Get a life.

Tristan Penton–

1: No. It is not a big deal Obama snorted coke and smoked marijuana. You're talking about his actions as a child. If everyone who did something stupid between the ages of 12 and 17 was barred from the presidency, it would be a very small pool of candidates.

2: Do we have a right to know if he sold cocaine as a minor? No, we don't. First, I know of no evidence to support the accusation he did–in fact, in his memoir he spoke of using cocaine "a little" "if he could get it", hardly the words of a dealer who uses the stuff "extensively", as you claim. Second, even if he had sold it and he had been caught, his records as a minor would have been sealed. For good reason–it is both idiotic and morally repugnant to judge people's entire lives base don childhood indiscretions.

3: If Obama sold cocaine as a child, it would indeed speak "volumes" about his character–thirty years ago. His character today is another question entirely. Personally, I think it speaks volumes for his character today that he openly admits his past indiscretions and talks about how he was on a path to self-destruction, but with hard work turned off that path and made something of himself. Some presidential candidates (and presidents) have chosen to obfuscate the issue, presumably out of political cowardice.

I have no idea if you're a bigot or not, but I think based on your hysterical screed above I can safely conclude at least one of three possibilities

1: You are incredibly judgmental.
2: You are an opportunist, jumping on anything you think can damage a political opponent, despite monumental irrelevance.
3: You are a hypocrite who over-reacts to the shortcomings of people who have somehow stirred your antipathy, while excusing and ignoring the failings of those you deign to support.

I don't know which of these is the case–it may even be all three–but you would be hard-pressed to convince me at least one of the above isn't true.

When we start voting / electing base on sentiment or emotion, we now wonder why our president get it wrong on judgement, the consequence of which the rest of the world refuse to follow our leadeship. The genue cry we can not ignore is the one the families of lost soldier will contineud for the rest of their life as a result of judgement of elected official like Hillary who show emotion to win an election

Let's face facts. Obama is the candidate of big talk and big endorsements. It makes for great television moments and press coverage. Clinton is the candidate of action. She has gotten real results for many Americans: children's health care, homeland security funds, funding for Head Start, and passage of the Family Medical Leave Act. She also has traveled the world as First Lady as a national ambassador. So the choice is yours America: real results or good television. Which would you prefer in time of possible recession and a war.

Scott the keeper, dont be so quick to rally around Obamas "good judgement". Abc news has an article on their website today questioning his judgement. It takes a look at his relationship with Tony Rezko who has been indicted by the federal government. Obama asked him for advice in getting land and with a home purchase. Obama's response and I quote abc news was, "It was a mistake to have been engaged with him at all in this or other personal business dealings that would allow him, or anyone else, to beleive he had done me a favor.". The report also stated that Obama accepted more than 120,000.00 in contributions from Rezko and others associated with him. Is that good judgement? Dont be smug in your rebuke of Tristin, it looks like you need to do some more research yourself. Obama needs to be tested and vetted as much as Hillary Clinton has been. he also needs to answer what other business dealings he had with Rezko and how can we trust his judgement in place of experience when he admits his judgemnent is'nt always right?

1. CNN, are you being paid by the Obama campaign. Every time someone endorses Obama, it is a headline. YOU DON'T EVEN MENTION WHEN HILLARY RECEIVES HER MANY, MANY ENDORSEMENTS.

To the Governor of Arizona, I would only ask you to consider the following. In the last year, the news has been filled with young mothers and young women being killed: the pregnant Marine who had been raped by her murderer, the mother in Illinois presumably killed by her husband, Peterson (former police officer), the young hiker killed last week by the sixty year old drifter, the pregnant wife of Scott Petersen murdered and dumped in the San Francisco Bay....the list goes on and on. Add to these American crimes against women the rape victims in Muslim countries put in jail, forced female circumcision, gang rapes in Darfur....that list goes on and on.

And finally, today...on Cnn...the story of a man who wanted a boy; so killed his daughter.

Governor, perhaps it's time for a woman to be elected Pesident to stop the
crimes against women; a President who will fight to protect the rights of women and children. You have made a terrible mistake with your endorsement.

It took way too long for women to get the vote. We cannot wait any longer.

Let's make History together . Vote for Hillary Clinton, the first
woman President of the United States.

Exactly, Tristan! I, too am ATU, has anyone mentioned who we endorse? Go Hillary! As I said in an earlier post, we are all free to cast our individual votes regardless of endorsements but we know who has been the longest and hardest working backer of Unions, workers and rights of women. She has spent her entire adult life working on causes other candidates haven't even noticed yet.

Scott the Keeper: You posted "The fact that Obama exhibits good judgement would make him a foreign policy contender… Just good judgement is leaps and bounds over what we have now, and (I believe) better than hillary who comes in thinking just like Bush on foreign affairs… Definitely no difference in voting record…"

Okay Scott. I have been tryng to be civil when talking about Obama but your post which compares Hillary Clinton to George W Bush goes way over the line. If anyone is very like "W." it would be your boy Obama. He comes into this race nothing but an empty suit and arrogance. He gives a nice speech and spouts off about hope for the future but when hit up for specifics, he's never able to come up with an answer. It's nice to talk about hope and change, but I'd like to hear some common sense plans on how we're going to get there. Face it Scotty – Obama has no clue. No one is saying he isnt smart, obviously he is. He needs a little time, experience and most of all, humility.

People go to U.S Senate.com see how each candidate voted, on key issues they Obama/Hillary voted the same on all key issues. Hillary is more prone to respond to criticism Obama pretty much doesn’t care what anyone says about him. Hillary has laid down longer with self interest groups no fault of hers she just been in politic longer, but Obama is for removing lobbying on the federal level not the state level.

WARNING if you serve self interest groups how can you serve in the best interest of the American people until these politician get their hands out of these big companies and self interest groups pockets we will continue to suffer. To John Edward’s credit he has never received PAC money. If you voting on experience why you didn’t vote for Richardson he over-whelming had the best resume of all candidates. John Edward by a long shot is the least corrupt. Some of you people making comments need to research and get your facts straight if you’re going to commenting on these tickers are at least trying to make compelling arguments for your person of choice nothing wrong with campaigning for your candidate. Think about this doesn’t it amazes you that during jury selections the lawyers for the state (prosecutions) always target the more educated but the defendant lawyers(s) always target the dumbest. Hillary is constantly defending herself I will do this I can change, it’s not fair, defense lawyers try to win sympathy of the jury by painting how hard a life their defendant had so they will get teary eye and show leniency isn’t the comparison quite striking when you think about it.

AMERICA IS NOT TALKING ABOUT AND THAT MAKES ME SAD.

ON EVERY COLLEGE CAMPUS AROUND AMERICA PEOPLE ARE SMOKING MARIJUANA AND DOING COCAINE.

THIS ISN'T FANTASY LAND!!!!

THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!

AND TO THINK THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. TO THINK WE DON'T HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM AND THAT IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL TO SELL IT, MAKES ME SAD.

America will not be great if we don't admit this problem. To think we can't ask the question because someone will call me a bigot is wrong.

I am not a bigot. Not even close. I don't see color. I see a man that admitted to doing drugs. I see a man that is using hyperbolic rhetoric. I see a man that is captivating and going across college campuses. I see a man that was a professor and knows children.

And I want to know. I have a right to know.

I have a right to know. As an American that's not a choice – I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW IF OBAMA SOLD COCAINE!!!

WE HAVE A RIGHT AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I AM CALLED A BIGOT IF I ASKED THIS QUESTION.

DRUGS ARE A VERY BIG DEAL. A VERY, VERY BIG DEAL.

AND SELLING DRUGS IS NOT A NICE THING TO DO.

let's be careful who we endorse:

U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama

Born in Honolulu , Hawaii ,
Father: Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya ;
Mother: Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita , Kansas .
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii . When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced.

Father: Returned to Kenya.
Mother: Married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia .

When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim.
He Is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was, temporary.
In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya Soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over His son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's presidential candidacy.
Please forward to everyone you know.
The Radical Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

I SEE THE DRUG PROBLEM IN AMERICA AND BELIEVE ME, IT'S NOT RIGHT TO BE ON DRUGS.

IT'S NOT RIGHT TO DO DRUGS.

IT CHANGES THE WAY YOUR MIND WORKS!

COCAINE HAS LONG TERM IMPLICATIONS!

AND OBAMA ABUSING COCAINE FOR ME IS A HUGE DEAL.

WHAT DOES IT TELL PEOPLE WHO ARE ON DRUGS IN AMERICA?

"IT'S OKAY, DON'T WORRY? JUST WRITE ABOUT IT AND PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED?"

BELIEVE ME – TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO USE COCAINE AREN'T AS LUCKY AS OBAMA.

LIVES ARE RUINED ON DRUGS. IT'S NOT A LIGHT MATTER.

IT'S NOT A LIGHT MATTER TO BE THAT THE PRESIENT OF THE UNITED IS SPECULATED TO HAVE SOLD COCAINE.

THAT'S A BIG DEAL!!!

THAT FRIGHTENS ME!

AND I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE FRIGHTENED ABOUT THAT!!!

I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE FRIGHTENED THAT THERE IS SUCH A DOUBLE STANDARD THAT WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT.

Call me uninformed, but I have never heard about Janet before this . . so why should her endorsement mean anything to me.

Apparently I am the only person concerned with the fact that Obama never talks about how he is going to make change in American politics. He talks a good game but seldom discusses policy. Voting for someone who talks a good game but never takes any action, should concern the American voters but many of you on this board would rather vote for someone unqualified (and allow them to destroy the country even more than Bush has) then vote for the most qualified person. Bill Richardson actually was the most qualified Democrat but he had no chance of winning. John Edwards is our next best choice, but it is down to Hillary or Obama. At least Hillary can get things done. She is the obvious choice.

Now we hear that the "Iron My Shirt" was a set up by the Clinton campaign. The guy holding the sign had a Clinton bumber sticker on his car. She is so phony! And a very good actress. But what can you expect with her Hollywood friends writing her script. Oh, and remember when the Clinton's left office and took furniture that didn't belong to them to their home in New York? I can still see that video of the moving van bringing the furniture back to the White House !!

Wake up America! Vote Obama! Let's get someone new in there!

when are you african americans going to wake up – Obama is so far from being african it is scary!! Stop being fooled into believing he will look after the african americans! Rather follow Hillary – Bill looked after you and so will Hillary. When Oprah comes to South Africa – dont think she stays in the predominantly black townships – she goes straight to the Hilton Hotel – Go Hillary 08

David from Texas,

And Hillary hasn't been running for the Presidency since she decided to go carpet-bagging in New York? Please. I respect your intelligence. Don't insult America's. We all know she had a team of at least 10 working on a Presidential bid since '03 and that she was thinking about it long before that.

There is a old saying that is so appropriate for this blog:

It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than
open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I will be voting for Hillary, I like Senator Obama, and I like his speeches, but I need to know how he plans to do all this. I want to do a lot of things, but without plans, experience, ECT.....

Thank you........

Barak Obama!

Believe or not....... If you really want Democratic to win 2008 and take back the White House, you should vote for HILLARY.

This to all who want Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton,

I believe we left England that has a monarchy and now you want to establish one here in America... I dont think so. The presidency is not a right of passage. You should get it because you have a "popular" last name. Hillary's logic for her being President is that she was married to one....... I'm gonna marry Alicia Keys and then a year later I'm gonna come out with a CD. Since I was married to a singer that must mean I can sing and make a CD too. Get some common sense people!!!!! She represents everything in Washington that we want to change..

it's amazing that obama is the prospect for "change" but all of these big wig politicians are backing him....anybody wonder why??? considered that all these politicans just want to get on board for the ride and create publicity for their own interests and to further their own careers....guess we'll see if obama wins by who shows up in his bureaucracy.

Great Support!, Thank you!!

"Yes..We..Can..!"

justhadtosaysomething : If you really want to know-All you have to do is Research her record.

I agree with you David. As I stated earlier, the media is really giving Hillary a negative spin.

Interesting that some bloggers should diss Janet; Janet has worked hard, achieved a great deal, listened to her people, and is entitled to an opinion. After weeks of questions, however, I'm still waiting for an answer to the simple question – all Hillary's years of experience, what did they produce?? What has she done?

Obama does not even stand a chance against John McCain

AGAIN I ASK AMERICA!

I ASK AMERICA!

IS IT A BIG DEAL THAT OBAMA SNORTED COCAINE EXTENSIVELY AND SMOKED MARIJUANA?

DO YOU THINK THAT AS AMERICANS WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHETHER HE NOT ONLY SNORTED COCAINE, BUT WHETHER HE HAS SOLD IT?

THIS IS NOT PERSONAL! AN OBAMA SUPPORTER ABOVE SAID THAT I AM A BIGOT FOR ASKING THIS QUESTION!

THIS IS NOT A RACE ISSUE.

THIS IS A TRUTH ISSUE.

I THINK IT'S A HUGE DEAL IF OBAMA SOLD COCAINE. IT WOULD SPEAK VOLUMES ABOUT HIS CHARACTER.

Besides Magic Johnson, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Puff Daddy will endorse Hillary. Trust me !!!

Wow another endorsement for change ! I love that fact the Governor was not star struck by the tears or the baby suther act !!!!!! Cha Ching Obama

Tristan,

Don't just take the talking points from Hillary's website, read Obama's entire comments and you won't be lead a stray. Also, you give Hillary credit for things that she could have done with her eyes closed (which they probably were...lol) because her handlers told her where to stand, who to smile at, who's hand to shake, which camera to look into, what to say...etc... Come on now, that qualifies her to be the hostess for state dinners, but not president.

LOL... and where do you think Hillary was, when Bill "wasn't inhale'n...lol"... C'mon now, I like Hillary, but your making me go there... The fact that Obama exhibits good judgement would make him a foreign policy contender... Just good judgement is leaps and bounds over what we have now, and (I believe) better than hillary who comes in thinking just like Bush on foreign affairs... Definitely no difference in voting record...

Also, when you leave out information that changes the meaning of a statement, that's "taking liberty" with someone's words... Read the whole text. Especially the part where He said, "I don't know what I would have done, but I do know that I would not have authorized that war..."

Thanks for play'n Tristan

Obama 08

It is so funny these endorsements are coming one day at a time-so calculated as with everything else with him. These are so planned to capture media attention everyday-just to keep his name in the news. Hillary gets an endorsement and noone knows. Endorsements don't matter in the end; however, Barack needs all the help he can get because his lack of real experience want be enough. Barack has been running for president nearly the entire time he has been in the U.S. Senate.

So sad to see all this bickering going back and forth....

but you've gotta right to your opinion..

My question is.....I want to know what Hillary did...without Bill Clinton.....Bill also cheated on her.....if you want to give her props...it's for forgiveness...and I believe that teared up was fake...reason...cause you'll see the real her soon as she opens her mouth....I am all for a woman president...she just isn't it...

all her experience, 35 years....if you've got all that experience then what you've done hasn't changed much....

personally all of them lie to get into the office.....

better stop putting your lives and futures in the hands of somebody....those who are runnin this country already know who the president is...they just keep playing with folks emotions....

wake up people!

I am for Obama, but that doesn't mean I hate Hillary. I choose to look at CNN a litlle closer and began to wonder if they truly have their candidate of choice...thats another discussion for another day.

Change is not accepting endorsements from the same health companies that stopped her the first time. Follow the money. For Clinton campaign to say you can't hope for change is ridiculous.

Hope becomes action. Like the hope of harriet tubman, the hope of MLK, the hope of women voting. Hope is an evidence of a spirit dwelling for something. Change is not Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quale, Clinton/Gore, Bush/Cheney, Clinton/??. Come on lets be real about this.

poor Hilary..she taught this election is all hers to loose,a catwalk a crowned candidate by the democratic establishment.the Clinton demolition team are now ready to destroy Obama and edwards.

I hear the comments of how you cant support Hillary because of the attacks she has made against Obama. What about the reverse? Dan Abrams released statistics showing that the media has been slanted pro Obama anti Hillary. If her campaign has attacked Obama its because someone has to do the medias job and call into question his facts and record. If one candidate can be scrutinized, why not all? And do you think that Obama's hands are clean? he has attacked Hillary consistantly and has had others to do his dirty work. he can look clean and smile when the slanted media does his attacking for him. The voters in New Hampshire recognized this and so will America. Fairness and balanced journalism is needed. The truth may hurt, but Hillary has done nothing wrong in deffending herself and pointing out Obamas inexperience. Whats good for one is good for all.

What is Osma's back gruond ? Is he a Muslin ? I think it is a fair question since Mitt's back ground has come under questioning?

You want change? I am a democrat for RON PAUL!

After watching how Hillary and Bill Clinton have attacked Obama these past few weeks, my decision on my vote has been made. I will never vote for Hillary now. The country is severely divided and putting someone that would attack her opposition on a such personal level in the presidency will only further such divide. I believe the majority of America knows this.

Hillary is not going to be the democratic nominee. Do the math. I bet Edwards is going to give his delegates to Obama than Hillary. And even if she wins the remaining 48 states she will win it with less than 40-45% compared to 55-60% of votes by Obama + Edwards. By the way i don't support both Hillary and Obama.

Some endorsements matter. Oprah's endorsement did matter. An Al Gore endorsement would matter (much more for Obama than for Clinton). It would be the same thing if Jesse Jackson came out for Clinton. If 15 Nobel Prize winners for Physics said we could be energy independent in 10 years if we went with the ......

But I agree that high profile endorsements do is perhaps become a favorable news story for a candidate for a day. I believe that most politicians would prefer Obama because he brings energy and new people to campaigns. Clinton is just bringing along people who were always going to vote Democratic.

Unless with some supernatural power (from God), I do NOT see Obama winning this election. If Obama becomes the DEM nominee, then I will vote Republican for the first time in my life.

Obama has a different front from who he really his. I do NOT see him as a uniter. Besides, he voted against medical care for fetus surviving abortion.

Please America,please give OBAMA a chance to effect some vital changes.America is too advance to be run like a family business(bush-clinton-bush-clinton)Are there no other brains in America?America should set good examples to developing countries like ours;Moldovia

Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner Endorses Clinton

Endorsements are exciting, but usually turn into few votes. lets talk about character and the issues. People attack Hillary as not haveing experience and too controversial/polarizing. First Hillary Clinton has an excellent record of fighting for social issues and the rights of others including women, children and minorities. Her ongoing support for the troops and their families is also widely understood. She has a vast amount of knowledge in foreign affairs and understands policy makeing and building relationships. Second she has been tested and her character has been scrutinized. Obama has not. Read an abc news article on their web-site talking about Obamas hypocricy and connection to Rezko, a shady crook with an association with Obama. This type of connection is troubling. Hillary is'nt perfect, but she's passionate, empathetic, experienced and tested. Check out her website for her platform. it shows her courage and wisdom. This race is not over, its just beginning. Go Hillary!

Ok, the bottom-line is the country cannont continue to switch between Bush-Clinton-Bush -Clinton!

Let's stop the nonsense where do they stand:

Hillary

Sen. Hillary Clinton, born in Chicago on Oct. 26, 1947, is the first-term junior senator from New York. Clinton lived in the White House for eight years as first lady. Prior to that, she was first lady of Arkansas for 12 years. She is an attorney.

Sen. Clinton favors abortion rights, but says the U.S. must work to make abortions rare through family planning

Sen. Clinton supports development of alternative energy technologies and reduction of foreign oil dependency

Sen. Clinton is in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, and says it is important to document who is in the country.

Sen. Clinton opposed the troop surge proposed in January and has supported setting an Iraq withdrawal timeline

Sen. Clinton would let some of the Bush tax cuts for higher income households expire and she has made addressing the alternative minimum tax a priority

Barack Obama, born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961, is the first-term junior senator from Illinois. An attorney, he served eight years in the Illinois state Senate. He was the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review

Sen. Obama favors abortion rights and would leave the decision to have an abortion in the hands of individuals

Sen. Obama would establish limits on greenhouse gas emissions

Sen. Obama says U.S. borders must be secured. He supports the passage of comprehensive immigration reform that contains a path to citizenship

Sen. Obama opposed the Iraq war from the start and wants most troops withdrawn from Iraq as soon as possible

Sen. Obama says if elected president he will reverse some of President Bush's tax cuts.

2008 YOU DECIDE!

The dispicable tactics employed by bill and hillary in N H coupled with his tricks, employed with help from his mafia forces in Chicago today only serves to conferm that thay can't beat Obama without steeling votes.

Latina Voter in CA, Please stop the hating. I'm certain that if you had any guts you'd give your real name and the rest of us judge you according to your record. O bama is not perfect but he's brave and has a integrity to boot. Really, I don't what this infactuation with the Bushes and Clintons is? None of them have any sense of fair play, moral integrity. Bill Clinton was a coward just like G.W.B. Both sought out to establish themselves in conflicts of no necessity. (Bosia/Iraq) Afganistan wasn't what Bush wanted and he proved it by going to Iraq. Bill Clinton went to Bosia while making us look like fools and chumps in Sudan and other parts of Africa. Hillary Clinton is malipulative and callous. Not mention a common thief. (White House furnishings and silverware, etc., etc. After She escaped New Hampshire her husband wan't permitted to be seen on stage with her. Obama's wife was right there by her man because she has as much integrity hashe does. Did you hear his concession speech. Best in history winner or loser. By the way, none of the White House hopefuls are experiened being the president of the U.S.A. None of them have been it before, even as Hillary deceptively tries to make everyone to believe otherwise. Obama has a quaity not seen in any other candidate. He's willing to listen and learn because hee recognizes that no one knows everything or has all the answers. Thank God there's more than Bush's and Clinton's to elect as president. Never again. Never again. – Go Obama!

As an Arizona Dem I'm very disappointed in Janet..she should just let the voters in Az pick the candidate and then support whoever that might be.

In response to those Democrats longing for the feel-good '90s: Bill Clinton's presidency was an absolute joke. He never won a majority of the vote (even a loser like Dubya did that in 2004). His economic policies were bad, even though they weren't as bad as Bush's. His nation-building tendencies were ill-advised, at best. He reneged on the one promise he made that I believed: ending the discriminatory practice of "don't ask, don't tell" in our military. Bill Clinton has as much to do with the divisive politics in this country as George W. Bush.

Now, that being said, Hillary won't be Bill. What she WILL do is bring in some of the old Clinton people. Why shouldn't she? Those people have experience running the country.

You people can't see through the rhetoric. When Hillary talks about experience, what she really means is that she knows a lot of people in Washington (especially in the Congress), and she has a lot of people on her campaign who were intimately involved in Bill's campaigns and presidency. Experience, in this case, makes her a Washington insider. If you're cool with an oligarchy, then absolutely, vote for Hillary Clinton. If you're okay with two families controlling American politics for at least another half-decade, if not more, by all means, support Mrs. Clinton. If, however, you recognize that what we need is a leader and not a legislator (that's what the Senate is for), support Barack Obama. He may be a lousy senator, but he's an effective leader, which means the executive branch is the ideal branch for him.

I hope that the Democratic is not divided and impossible to reunite if the Clintons
do not stop the negative and bias campaign.

1). Obama was a University Professor.
2). He has been a senator for less than three years
3). He has snorted cocaine and smoke marijuana extensively, ADMITTED by him
4). There is speculation about whether he sold drugs
5). He has no, zilch, nada, nothing – NONE – foreign policy experience
6). He thinks that by saying, "I lived in Indonesia when I was 10" America will be like, "Oh, yeah – duh – of course! Of course that qualifies him as being the leader of the free world!"
7). He is a very, very, very, very charismatic leader.
8). HE WAS NOT EVEN IN THE SENATE WHEN THEY VOTED TO GO INTO IRAQ AND ADMITTED IN PUBLIC, ON TAPE THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW HE WOULD VOTE IF HE WERE THERE AND HAD ACCESS TO THE INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENTS!!!!
9). HE SAID HE WOULD NEVER FUND THAT WAR AND HE FUNDED IT!!!!
10). BILL CLINTON AND HILLARY CLINTON BRING THIS UP AND DISCUSS THE FACTS AND HE SAYS "THEY TOOK LIBERTIES" FROM MY WORDS?

America, I think you're not thinking.

LOOK AT WHO HE IS POPULAR WITH - COLLEGE KIDS!!!

AND COLLEGE KIDS – I THINK THAT IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT MARIJUANA AND COCAINE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES ARE AS COMMON AS THE IDEA THAT WHEN YOU GRADUATE EVERYTHING IS GOING TO GO PEACHY AND YOU CAN GET BY WITH FOUR YEARS OF PARTYING.

America, America, America, AMerica – where have you gone! Are you so gullible?

My, God, people. Now we have democrats trying to tear down our own candidates.

FACT – there is almost no difference in the candidates on the issues OR how they would deal with the problems in this country. And difference is so minor that it has little impact on anything.

FACT – It doesn't matter which Democrat from this field becomes president. If you don't get at least 60% of the senators and representatives in office to back them, we will still have the gridlock we have now.

As for those saying that Obama is attracting the Far Left Loons. Open your eyes. He is attracting the largest number of the centrist independent voters (no one will be elected president without the support of independents) and he is the democratic candidate with the backing of the largest number of Republicans.

I have no doubt that Clinton's tears where real. I'm not sure I buy her explanation. They were most likely unintended and brought on by lack of sleep, the stress of the campaign trail and frustration of 1) her loss in Iowa and 2) the polls at the time showing her 9-10 points below Obama.

The ticket will not be Clinton-Richardson, or Obama-Edwards. The biggest support in a general election will be if both Clinton and Obama are on the ticket, in either order. (Personally I believe the best outcome would be Obama-Clinton because voters tend to look at the presidential candidate primarily, and Obama has the draw from the Independents and some Republicans.)

No matter who you support, everyone needs to stop tearing down the other candidates. We all want the same things – and as I said, the candidates all agree on all the issues. I'm seeing the beginnings of the same politics of division that Bush created – and it isn't coming from the candidates – its coming from the public. Where is the unity that democrats have been crying out for. Stop tearing each other apart and support each other.

Whatever the outcome of the primaries, we BETTER start coming together, or we will have another four years of a Republican white house.

Obama great speaker but after having heard him numerous times in NH, beginning to wonder the specifics of his "change" paltform. Saw him twice in person and he never outlined what he was going to change or how.

Coby posted:

Look at all the Obama and Oprah haters. I do not understand why people hate on other people just because they support someone. This country is childish. Also to the person who thinks that Hillary wouldn't cheat in votes. You're going to feel real stupid if they find evidence that votes were tampered with. Don't make statements if you don't know the truth. Now everyone is criticizing Obama because he getting support? What kind of sense does that make?

You started out pretty good but then you reverted to type. Just because you support someone else you didnt need to make baseless accusations. At this point there is no evidence that Hillary tampered with any votes. There is no evidence that the vote count as tallied is not accurate. A recall has been demanded and we will see what happens from there. If you are giong to take others to task for being childish, dont turn around and do the same thing yourself. I suggest you take your own advice. "Don't make statements if you don't know the truth"

That is fantastic ! Obama gets another endorsement. Considering, Skid roe is only 150 miles away, I am sure the Governor recognized that Hillary was bought out by the drug maker lobbiest. The Governor wants nothing to do with Hillary a wormen who has experience in being bought out by powerful machines, that turn there back on the wellness of human life.

This is a prominent Governor who understands that Obama is the way of change with the support of the majority of American people.

Scott the Keeper!!!

EVEN WITH CLINTON IN EXPERIENCE!!!!

OH MY GOD – YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME AND TRYING TO KID AMERICA!!!

8 YEARS IN THE SENATE IS NOT THREE YERAS IN THE SENATE!

EXPERIENCE IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA IS NOT MAKING PHONE CALLS TO KENYA AND SAYING "HANG IN THERE, KEEP THE PEACE."

EXPERIENCE WITH HEALTH CARE AND A GOOD ATTEMPT AT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE IS NOT RIDING THE BACK OF THE PERSON THAT STARTED THE MOVEMENT.

EIGHT YEARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH HER HUSBAND AS AN ACTIVE FIRST LADY TRAVELLING THE WORLD AND TAKING ON HEALTH CARE IS NOT BEING A UNIVERSITY OF PROFESSOR!

Come on. Come on.

Likeability. Oh my God. Anybody can be liked.

Not everybody can deliver.

He hasn't delivered anything to me but inspiring speeches.

I agree. Who is endorsing Bill & Hillary...? We need to know who we are dealing with. Anyhow what matters to me the most is how and who will resolve the issue of illegal Albanians in Serbia... It looks like Albanians want independence now… We know Bill bombed Serbia in 1999 to stop "Serbian Tyranny"… Will it be done again and who will do it? I also wonder how Mexican issue will be resolved in America.

CHANGE. OBAMA. CHANGE. OBAMA.
UPWARD MOBILITY.
OBAMA.
I THANK YOU GOD.

J-IA these are just 2 that came on board yesterday ! there all latino

Henry Cisneros and Edward Romero Endorse Hillary for President
Former Richardson Supporters Cite Clinton’s Record of Delivering Results for America’s Families

Today, two prominent supporters of Governor Bill Richardson’s presidential campaign, former U.S. Ambassador Edward Romero and Henry Cisneros, the first Hispanic to serve as the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), announced their endorsements of Hillary Clinton for President today.

I would like to see Hillary Clinton as the first women president – 1st Choice
Obama would be my -2nd Choice they should both team up together as President and Vice President of the United States.

O-Boy!

Absolutely right J-IA!

Where is the enthusiasm about Amalgamated Transit Union's endorsement of Hillary Clinton? 180,000 bus-drivers!

Do you think that maybe Amalgamated Transit union knows that Hillary Clinton is probably the one that has the guts to move transit forward in America?

Oh and she's got a lot more too!

Robert Kennedy!!!!!!!

Look up everything he is doing. He is an attorney, a professor and has lead the way to clean up the Hudson River.

And let's not forget ARchitects and urban designers who are backing Hillary.

I think they know that she has the guts to stand up to this.

YOU CAN'T STAND UP TO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE!!!

IT'S LIKE GETTING INTO LAW SCHOOL AND THEN SAYING THAT THE CURRICULUM NEEDS TO CHANGE AND THAT YOU WANT TO BE DEAN!!!

OBAMA!!! YOU ARE DOING A DISSERVICE TO AMERICA!!!!

DES MOINES, Iowa — Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton has agreed to help one-time candidate Tom Vilsack, who endorsed her on Monday, as he seeks to retire a campaign debt of more than $400,000.

Can you believe this, this women is buying votes she the biggest joke since pee wee herman

TWENTY FOUR YEARS OF THE BUSH AND CLINTON DYNASTY IS ENOUGH.

TIME FOR REAL CHANGE

For America and the World – Obama is white and black at the same time and he is smart, so why not him? People who are against him are digging into anything and nothing to try to undermine his momentum. Obama could not win this election but non one would take away his brain and smile. The truth is that he is the real ideal image to represent America of this period of 21th century. Let's vote for the smartest candidate not vote for sentiments or other unknown affiliations with born dynasty...
c.ilivuziman@hotmail.com

Thankyou Gov. Napolitano, keep them coming. I agree, Hillary is unelectable. I am someone who has never shopped at Walmart as it epitomizes everything about corporate America I don't like. If this race was for an executive of a corporation that was solely interested in profit, well Hillary would be my pick. However there are just too many of us out here that refuse to end up with more big business politicians and no matter how you sugar coat it, that's Hillary. She is so disengenous it really is surprising that people don't see through her patrinizing attitude towards the voter. I just don't like being given the idea by the Clintons that somehow she has the bragging rights to the White House. Not if the American people have anything to say about it. It has nothing to do with being a woman, and everything with her past history that I would never vote for her and I'm sure I'm not in the minority on this. We need someone fresh that doesn't continue the statis quo of special interests, not even the Clinton special interests.

So What, thats just great. Everytime anything happens for Obama the media goes crazy. So what. Hillary haters, whats new! What happen to Hope. Well I hope the media will be fair. that's my HOPE! and CHANGE!

LOL

Bitter Billary-bots.

Phyllis from Los Angeles Janet Napolitano is head and shoulders above Hillary Clinton. Janet is ranked as one of the five best U.S. govenors. She is also the first woman to lead the National Govenors' Association. Janet's political career is based on decades of her own works. Hillary, on the other hand, has to rely heavily on the works of her husband simply because Hillary has no direct experience of her own other than Senator of New York.

Janet not only has the respect of Arizona democrats and republicans alike, she also has the respect from voters in states like Nevada as well.

Every single state budget Janet has signed has been balanced. She brought Arizona out of a billion dollar deficit to a billion dollar surplus...without raising taxes, something Hillary won't do. Hillary has already said she will increase taxes by reversing the tax cuts Bush signed into law. That tax reversal still doesn't fund Hillary's proposed mandated health care program.

Janet, as State Attorney General, was a huge advocate of the Arizona education system and the child protection system. As govenor Janet carries that same vigor when the state budget is put together.

It is even more telling that Bill Clinton appointed Janet as the United States attorney for the district of Arizona and yet Janet chose to endorse Obama instead of Hillary. Why? Janet's approach to the Arizona State health care system mirrors that of Obama's before Obama even knew what his system would look like.

I'm a republican and I won't be voting for either Clinton or Obama but I won't stand for anyone who thinks they can demean Janet when they obviously have no clue what Janet's accomplishments are. To say Janet is afraid to share the stage with Hillary because Hillary is smarter is just ignorant to put it politely. It is more likely Janet doesn't want to share the stage with a woman who is bought and paid for by big business and runs on the coat tails of her husband.

Yeah we noticed douglas ! latinos watched that move by the arizona governor who is not liked to much by our latino community ! so we will see what happens as far as reform for illegal immigration!

Regarding Janet Napolitano and the Culinary Workers Union's endorsement of Obama: I, too am a Union member, and although my International Union may endorse a particular candidate, we are still all individual vote casters. While we always look to our International for input as to the best candidate to address our particular concerns, we are our own vote. My vote will go to the most qualified candidate that has REPEATEDLY stood by orginized labor and women's rights. We all know who She is.

yep and i still remember how john kerry was when he lost to bush on tv ,he didn't even ask for recount and just said congratulation to bush ,that means he didn't even want to become a president and just want to be famous.

I wonder if Janet Napolitano has visited the website of the church that Obama is an active member of? If not, she needs to, along with every American citizen. Please, take the time to visit http://www.tucc.org/about.htm. How can she support Obama when the only people he is commited to are the Africans, not Americans? In order to join his church, you have to be of a specific race. Why is it only racism when white people exclude a different race?

The "right away answer" is, that at worst, he's even with Clinton in experience. At best, he's just even with Clinton in terms of experiences and like-able to boot...

Oh yeah, he opposed the most stupid war in history, from the beginning and did not choose to authorize an even more stupid war against Iran... I didn't even have to go to the net for that... But if thats not enough for ya, check out the posting from "tree" at 12:30pm up top...lol

Clinton can hate, but it will be Obama in 08

Obama,

Never mind the nose of the market, just keep your focus on the voters.
Remember with Jesus on your side things will work out fine!
God rules supreme, HE build up kingdoms, and HE breaks them down.
Have NO fear, for fear is not of God, just keep the faith and GOD will do the rest for you.... the rest being "the first person of your kind in the WHITE HOUSE."
You being in the white house is what most of Americians fear! In this day and age, it should not be about the color of one's skin, but UNITING AMERICA..

I am from another country, but watches cnn every opportunity I get to follow whats going on, so when you become president SIR, I would personally like to shake your hand, and to say, like the bible says "well done good and fiathful servant, you have been faithful in a few things, but now I will make you ruler of many." TRUST GOD MR. OBAMA..

Asking these irrational Hillary-haters to turn down the anger is like asking fish to give up on water. These people need their hatred of Hillary to keep going.

I'm just glad the public isn't buying it anymore. The more these people bash and attack Hillary, with their bloated, fire-breathing lies, the more sympathetic and resilient she looks. I really hope they keep it up. She could use more backlash votes.

Clinton 08!!

Hillary has done more for our country's children than Obama who hasn't done anything. #2 She helped Ireland with the Peace effort. #3 She went to undeveloped countries as 1st Lady & spoke about women's rights. Obama may talk about Martin Luther King, buty Hillary actually marched with blacks & white for civil rights.
By the way, even blck leaders of the civil rights era think that Obama was missing in action.
Shame on Napolitano for choosing Obama over Hillary. Shame on Kerry also. These endorsements will only galvanize the women toward Hillary.

I am an Obama supporter, but I agree with the poster who wonders where the announcements are about Hillary's endorsements. I want Obama to win because he's the best candidate and will be the best president–not because CNN likes him better than Hillary.

Why is it that every time Obama's mentioned a thousand idiots come out of the woodwork touting Clinton's line that he "has no experience" and "hasn't explained himself on the issues"?

Obama is known by anyone who's actually worked with him for being 1: extremely capable of getting bipartisan support for controversial legislation, and 2: incredibly knowledgeable on the issues, and he's presented very specific plans for what he'll do about them. Look at his website, for Chrissake, don't just babble on.

It seems like the average anti-Obama mouthpiece has an attitude that goes something like this:

1: "I haven't invested any time in looking at Obama's record, therefor HE HAS NO RECORD!"
2: "I haven't invested any time in looking up Obama's stances on the issues, therefor HE HAS NO STANCES ON THE ISSUES!"

It's like they're toddlers playing peek-a-boo. If I can't see it, it's not there!

This comes from a Governor who is 1 billion in deficit for Arizona. Ranked last in education. Can't build anymore schools. Overcrowded ratios. Lowest salaries in the country across the board in all jobs. Defys the supreme court on immigration issues. Yes, Obama, get her support and run this country further into the ground.

Kerry, well, we all know about him. Circle of losers united together.

and you guys are voting for obama base on his speech , tell me who can guranteed that he can make the country better when he become a president , same thing as those people voted for bush , you guys are taking a risk to vote for a person that might make the country worse.

OBAMA 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 then he will be voted into office for another 4 years because not only did america experience the change but so did the world.

I was also asking the same question? why Barack's endorsment are all day long on the Tv? Also mark this. There is a difference between READY FOR CHANGE and READY TO CHANGE. Barack is READY TO CHANGE and the one who is ready for change thats fine coz Barack is there to change for us. Please take every single message seriously. Thanks.

I believe these endorsents are irrelevant.
Voters make their own independent choices. It is really only the "opinion" of the endoser, nothing more.

What disturbs me is not the endorsment of Hillary or Obama but rather the division and tension between Spanish speakers(native Mexicans and South Americans) and Black Americans. It appears that Bill Clinton has forgone the Black vote for the Spanish speaking votes. No doubt this tension will increase as Bill TRYS to drive a deeper wedge between the two minority/majority. It is rumored that Richardson will be the running mate for Hillary IF IF IF she wins the nomination. This will only add to her divisive nature. Without the Black vote – NO DEMOCRAT will win the White House.

I just would like you all to know that here in Europe everybody wants Obama to win. If Clinton wins it will be all over again.

Why Clinton supporters keep saying that people should look at the issues of Obama, suggesting you would find a desert? What if anyone actually will do so, instead of just believing superficial and to easily cast lies? When you take a little time to go to the issues, you will find out Barack is very strong on the issues, and more, he is very similar to Clinton on many issues. So please, Clinton supporters, do not burn Obama on the issues, you are burning yourself.

Instead be lucky that Obama chose change and hope as his campaign team. Easy to attack, easy to claim it for yourself.

What if he had picked up experience as campaign team? Who of the two has most years elected in public office? Who of the two is most praised for wise, effective and bipartisan lawmaking? Who of the two said no to an attractive lawyers salary to build strong experience in doing community work in South Chicago? Who of the two has the experience of being right on one of most important decisions a leader will ever have to face, waging war? Who has the most experience in speaking up for what your conviction is, when not only your 'ennemies' but also your own party and maybe a whole country disagrees?

And be very lucky Obama didn't take fairy tales as a campaign theme.
Becoming first lady seems to me the modern version of the princess – fairy tale.
Working in South Chicago communities? I can be wrong, but I guess that 's not a fairy tale.

Latina Voter in CA,

Can you help us understand precisely what HER accomplishments were in the years before the Senate?

During the last debate, when she was adamantly asserting her record of "35 years of accomplishing change," her choice of the "change" she had accomplished during her White House years was Healthcare. There must be more. Help us understand, what are clear-minded Americans missing when they ask "where's the beef" to her "experience accomplishing change" argument?

By the way, if you say you want to vote for her because you think it's time for America to have a woman President, that's terrific. You have every right to do that and nobody begrudges you for that.

Looking forward to your answer.

sigh. I forget why I never read CNN anymore. I thought news was supposed to be OBJECTIVE.

Hillary's endorsements rarely do recieve coverage here, even when they are at the very least as equally impressive as Obama's. And what was that stupid "candidates kiss" montage about? Who cares if Obama kisses his wife like he means it! (give them a few years in the white house and we'll see how much he likes to touch her). And anyway, what does that have to do with what any of them are saying?!

I suppose when "Kids Chug milk, barf in science class" makes it as one of the headlines, you being to question the merits of a news site to begin with! Read the BBC!

And Vote Hillary! Hey, Obama's speeches might beautiful and inspiring, but HILLARY KNOWS WHAT THE HECK SHE'S DOING! WE NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS DC INSIDE AND OUT TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS BUSH (aka Cheney) MADE AND IT WILL BE 2012 BEFORE THE NEWBEE FIGURES OUT THE ROPES!!!

And, good speaker aside, yone bother to check that Obama's political resume is slightly less heftier than the current prez upon his first election. A Harvard degree and a few years in a high profile political position... think about it...

Get real people! If you elect a woman, (and no offence to women intended), just how much weight do you think she's going to carry in diplomatic circles amongst adversaries of the USA? Some of them don't even recognise women as having brains, let alone an equal seat at any table. Once again, her word will have to be backed up by good ol' American weaponry. And if you're ok with that, then vote HRC, because you're in for more of the same.

If you elect Mr. Obama, and he is as skilled at 'inspiring' people as it seems he might be, at the very least you stand a chance of being taken seriously elsewhere in the world, rather than the war mongering, oil drivin', bent on world-domination super-power you now project around the world.

How about reporting the story from the Las Vegas Sun that Clinton is trying to fracture the Culinary Workers' Union along racial lines?

She has enlisted the support of a local Hispanic politician, a man who was essentially put in office by the support of the Culinary Workers, to urge Latino voters in Nevada to support her in the caucuses, against the union endorsement of Barack Obama.

so don't just vote for a person because he looks cool and because of his speech was good, a person that 's good at speech doesn't means he can actually do the job good , who doesn't know how to talk? but can you actually do the job? and obama is a Cigarettes smoker ,, please name few things that he did in the past that helped this world or country a better place when he was a senator and don't tell me you have to search on the net for it ,since you are fully supporting to him ,then you should know the answer right away.

Yes they do see something... A job in his would be administration. Obama is not ready to be President. He lacks much experience needed to get this country back on track and get our respect back. The only one who can that now is Hillary.

Puntarenus

I firm Hillary supporter but I am against any endorsement announcements on news pages like CNN. These sources should be impartial and not post any endorsement announcements for any person running to be fair to every candidate. Any endorsement news should be posted on the candidate' s personal website.

I think American politics is not ment for the bush's & Clinton's alone.Moreover you can figure out that hillary won NH based on the tears shed.-good tactics.It was the only reasons why the compassionate women voted for her.
What amazed me is,all her campaign is to attack Obama,we europeans use to think american democracy is much developed than that.Those who have eyes should carefully watch Obama,how he carry himself on the stage.Think about it
Go OBAMA

VOTE FOR OBAMA/PAUL 2008

Name 3 things that Hillary has done nationally??? I can...

1. Voted for the Iraq war
2. Voted to fund the Iraq war
3. Voted for Bush to have the authority to go to war with Iran.

What else has she done??? Candidate for "Change" huh???

Oh yeah... She voted to name a couple of post offices...

OBAMA 08

jyfranca posted: "If Obama wins nomination I would love to see him picking his running mate among these folks,first Suzanne Malveaux,Anderson cooper or John King.These 3 people if become politicians will make wonderful candidates.I like their styles and substances."

If Obama wins the nomination he probably should have someone from CNN on his ticket. CNN certainly is doing it's best to influence voters his way. Before I go farther let me state: I am not an Obama supporter but I have nothing against him. If he should get the Democratic nomination, I will vote for him. What I object to is the way the media, in this case CNN, blatantly attempts to influence the outcome of elections. They should only be regurgitating information and letting the election process take its natural course. Today, I wrote to the FCC the message posted below and urge others to do the same:

I believe that it might be time for the FCC to caution CNN against becoming an arm of the Obama campaign. If one looks at the content of CNN's reporting and the content of the political ticker, one clearly sees the bias that CNN is showing to the Obama campaign. If CNN wishes to become an Obama supporter then the network needs to declare itself as such and stop professing to be a news organization for the duration of the Presidential Election Campaign. News organizations have tremendous influence over public perception of candidates during election cycles and should take all steps possible to ensure that their reporting remains unbiased. If they are unable to do so, they need to declare themselves supporters of one candidate and cease all attempts to appear to be objective organizations that disseminate news and information.

I doubt CNN will allow this post to stand. They will most likely edit it out, but here it is anyway.

Look at all the Obama and Oprah haters. I do not understand why people hate on other people just because they support someone. This country is childish. Also to the person who thinks that Hillary wouldn't cheat in votes. You're going to feel real stupid if they find evidence that votes were tampered with. Don't make statements if you don't know the truth. Now everyone is criticizing Obama because he getting support? What kind of sense does that make?

StopWatchingFoxNews,
Many of us were kind enough to answer your question yesterday about Senator Obama's "present" votes. And yet, unless I missed something, we're still waiting on your answer about precisely what Senator Clinton ACCOMPLISHED while she was in the White House.

Any thoughts?

Amazing how he keeps getting more and more endorsements, isn't it?
They must see something they like also. GO Obama.

Well that is nice that Obama is endorsed by another Democrat. But my question to you all. Does it really matter that an individual endorses a candidate? That is just one vote for Obama..... Do people really follow others beliefs or their own?

Go Hillary...

good job gov. we appreciate it . go obama

I thought we Democrats were better than this. Yes Obama and Hillary are both smart people and both have their difference of opinions.

While we allign ourselves with one of these great leaders we don't have to hate the other ideas.

Personally, I like Obama and will vote for him. If Hillary gets the nomination I will have to wait and see who the Republican Candidate is.

Any endorsement is appreciated. Hillary has many negatives, the worst being that she is so polarising. The last 7 years have been tough... and I don't think Hillary is the right candiate for the job in 2008. She would make a great Candidate in 2016 and she would have both experience and the experience in making changes by then.

For those who have never lived in Arizona, let me just share my take on this....it's great news....because Janet Napolitano knows how to get done to business....she worked hard to get Arizona back and track while addressing the needs of fellow Arizonans......and in what used to be considered a republican state.....I think it's great.....

Whether it actually matters to the voters, most likely not.......but as an Obama supporter and former Arizonan...it's a good day!

I think everyone needs to dial down the rhetoric. It amazes me how much supporters of the candidates are so vile to each other.

Endorsements mean something. Clinton supporters would be trumpeting an endorsement from a Governor. If Richardson endorses Clinton, then you can bet the Clinton supporters will be all over it.

How much does an endorsement mean? Depends on the person and the location. I imagine Napolitano's endorsement will help Obama in the Southwest. It probably doesn't do anything for him out East.

To all of those hater that doesn't' know well about bill Clinton ,here are the facts about him:

During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination.

Has anyone heard of this women? Uh...NO! Like it means anything. He can have all the people he wants to support his "CHANGE", but all the help will not help him win the nomination. For someone wanting "CHANGE" he sure does have a lot of people who have been in the politics for a long time?????? If I hear him steel another MLK speech again Im going to vomit!! ALL TALK, NO WALK!!!

To Wallace–

Wrong!!
Life long Democrat–even during my 24 years in the Air Force!

Wrong again!!
There is a Democratic Socialist Party!
Many members of the Democratic Party are also members of the DMSP –right in the 110th Congress are some members–including Nancy Pelosi. There are many more names you will recognize if you visit their website and subscribe to the news letter–and I'm not really sure if this particular state Governor is.

That said–all of her jobs have been for the government–and she is far left of center in her comments, and historical practices/agenda–which is why she was not chosen to run with Kerry in 2004.

There is no question–that many Democrats are also members of the DMSP–I can see why to. I'm not one of them. I believe a great nation–needs a great government, and that government has a strong social obligation. I do not believe that our government in our current free-market and global economy is adequately protecting the interests of most Americans–the reality is more Darwinian than Socialism.

Yep–check out the information, you'll see a lot of your party colleagues are DMSP members or supporters. I have no problem with that–Democrats have room for all points of view–that is what makes us unique.

I'm a capitalist–and believe the right to own a business and create wealth should never be curbed by government. However, I am in favor of fair taxation on profits from those endeavors–the elimination of the multitude of loopholes which allow the wealthiest in our society to evade the payment of taxes.

Hillary Clinton is RUNNING on her own RECORD. Not Bill's.

Post 2008 Primary
This is not real, But then again next to most of the comments on here...this is classic
WOW
JERRY< JERRY<JERRY<JERRY<JERRY<JERRY<JERRY<JERRY

(JERRY ask VP Obama and Senator Kucinich while on stage at one of Jerry Springer's shows) So does Hillary know about you and Dennis, making plans to ask for a recount if a primary doesn't go your way?
(VP Obama replies) Not yet, but she deserves to know. Dennis and I are suffering inside and we need to get it off our chests.
(Jerry Springer says) Okay let's bring her out. Here's President Hillary Clinton
(Crowd welcomes her to the stage and she sits next to VP Obama and holds tightly to his hands)
(Jerry says) Hillary welcome to the show.
(Hillary says)Thank you Jerry
(Jerry says) Hillary, do you have any idea why you're here?
(Hillary replies) I think it's about while Barack and I are planning our next State of the Union Address we're going to surprise Bill with a Supreme Court nomination?
(Jerry says) Not quite…Go ahead Barack, you tell her
(VP Obama looks into Hillary's eyes, and says) Hillary, remember when we were running for the democratic nomination for president last winter in 2008, specifically the New Hampshire primary?
(President Clinton says) yes, why?(she begins to look at both Senators Kucinich and VP Obama)
(VP Obama says) Well, I'm the one that put Dennis up to requesting a recount of the votes. I'm so sorry.
(President Clinton starts crying and says) You brought me on national TV to tell me this? You could have told me this at Camp David next weekend when we meet for Physical Therapy. I can't believe this Jerry(as she looks in dismay at Jerry)
(Jerry says to Hillary) Well, don't you have something to say to VP Obama?
(Audience starts wooooing, as Hillary begins to speak) Well Barack, remember when I had that teary eyed moment at the New Hamphire primary?
(Barack says) Yes?
(Hillary says) Well, actually Jerry(Springer) set that whole thing up.
(Bill Clinton barges to the stage and says) What physical therapy, you guys told me it was to deal with Foreign Affair Issues!!!!
(A HUGE fight breaks out on stage and Steve rescues Jerry from the fight and Jerry looks to the audience and says) That's all the time we have folks and remember…be good to each other.

I love Janet even more !!

Obama –> Civil Rights Lawyer, Professor of Law, Member of the State Senate in Illinois, Member of the Senate

Clinton –> Real Estate Lawyer, First Lady in Arkansas, First Lady in the White House, Member of the Senate

Where is the experience? Are you telling me that a real estate lawyer is going to be able to do more for the people than someone dealing with Civil Rights?

Also, why is it that John Kerry has endorsed Obama as well? This is not a fad, or trend. Obama has a tremendous amount of experience when it comes to what matters the most. Helping people. Hillary has only helped herself throughout her career, and doesn't care about anything but her legacy.

What is sad is to watch Democrats buy into the notion that it is just "Hillary" or "the Clintons" that the right wing hates and if we nominate someone else they won't get the same negative attacks. Well they are flat out wrong. The right wing hates what the Democrats stand for and they are licking their chops to attack a Harvard educated, junior Senator, from Chicago, that has no significant legislative accomplishments and no foreign policy experience. It will make Reagan/Mondale look like a close race.

I sure hope Janet is the first female POTUS. She was a great governor while I lived in AZ, and I was proud to help re-elect her. If Hillary is the Dem nominee, she will lose, and Janet or Al Gore will be the nominee in 2012.

By the way ... my wife and I were having a conversation about feminism and politics, and she made a very insightful remark that I would like to relate with all of you in internetland. The first woman POTUS needs to be an excellent POTUS for everyone. She must be a unifier that brings people of all backgrounds together to improve our great nation. If she cannot prove that she is an excellent pres to a large majority, there will be a feminist backlash (like the ones that happen every time women get more rights, read your history books or take a women's studies class). Then we won't have another female president for at least 50+ years. And that would be a shame. Bottom line ... feminists that support Hillary do so at their own peril.

O08

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!

AMERICA, ARE YOU TELLING ME IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL THAT OBAMA USED COCAINE AND MARIJUANA, ADMITTEDLY AND THAT IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL THAT IT'S A POSSIBILIYT HE SOLD THEM TOO?

I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF A CANDIDATE OF THE UNITED STATES SOLD DRUGS.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW THAT.

I THINK THAT'S A REALLY BIG DEAL. THAT'S A LINE THAT IS CROSSED THAT HAS SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS ABOUT HIS CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY HE'S SO GOOD WITH YOUNG PEOPLE????

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW GOOD OF A SALES MAN YOU HAVE TO BE TO SELL COCAINE OR MARIJUANA TO SOMEONE?

When the media reports on the endorsements that Hillary has, it is my understanding that several Governors and several Senators/Representatives who have endorsed her as well, then I might worry about Janet from Arizona.

The media is still biased against Hillary because everything is still only good stuff about Obama and bad stuff or nothing about Hillary.

It is also very funny that Obama is always talking about youth this and youth that and it seems his big endorsements are from older people who are liberals.

Hillary 08.

I am a 76 yr. old black female with graduate degrees and credentials and believe as follows: Hillary's suggestion that we go back to the America of the past that we all knew and loved is what is wrong in this country and the world and what needs to be changed. America has stomped on other countries and supported the worse dictators and suppressed minorities, the poor and undereducated of America and stole all of the resources of Africa and South and Central America and underminded the democratic efforts of workers and families in Cuba, Haiti, etc.,etc., then call them stupid, lazy and corrupt. I am sick of having my taxes spent to pay Israel to exterminate the Palestinians while telling me Social Security and Medicare are unaffordable. Just give me what you give each family in Israel and keep your Social Security. Obama suggests that we fight for a new America , an America that the world can trust , not back to the same old shameful ways that never worked: killing the Native Americans; enslaving Africans and children of color white people fathered with enslaved Africans; abusing and descriminating against Asians and developing a criminal justice system that is totally unjust. Obama just may have some ideas about real change that America should try.

CNN moderator, please post my legitimate comment. Thank you.

good pick up obama. OBAMA 08

John you are not giving Latinos any credit for having their own minds...what you're saying because a Latino mayor supports Hillary all Latinos will vote for her regardless of issues. Who to say all Latinos are Dems. I bet their are some Latinos who would strongly disagree with your statement. Probably would chastise you for even hinting that as a race their mindless and can't decide for them. In the future I strongly recommend you speak only for yourself it might hide your ignorance.

We must all help Obama to stop the bush-clinton-bush-clinton mafia... (if Hillary wins maybe the next time the president will be the brother of W Bush and next we can make a big big change with Chelsea Clinton)....

PERSONALLY I BELIEVE HILLARY CLINTON CRIED HER WAY THROUGH NH, LETS GIVE HER CREDIT FOR THAT STUNT

WITH THAT SAID, I'M SO GLAD DENNIS CALLED FOR THE RECOUNT THIS EARLY. EVEN IF IT DOESN'T DO MUCH, IT WILL TO AN EXTENT DISCOURAGE OTHER FANATICAL SUPPORTERS FROM ATTEMPTING TAMPERING WITH FUTURE PRIMARIES IN THIS VERY TIGHT RACE.

Thank you! Winners stick with winners.

Obama represents the people, Hilary the corporations. Just the truth plain and simple.

Iam not an american, neither do i live in the states, but i must say, that is time that americans embraced a new political powerhouse.

I have been following american politics for 14yrs now, it is sickening to note that the whitehouse a symbol oy peace, unity, freedom for the rest of the worl is being dominated by two individuals, Bush family or clinton family, why? i proudly support new faces to change our democracy.

From Toronto

For the person complaining that Hillary's endorsements don't get as much coverage...when is the last time Hillary has gotten a notable endorsement? All of Hillary's major endorsements came well before the Iowa caucuses when she still seemed inevitable. No one of importance has endorsed her since, to my knowledge (save a Congresswoman in Nevada). Hence no news coverage of the imaginary endorsements.

CNN moderator: Please post my comments. thank you.

Even if the tears were real considering all the pressure she's been under what's she going to do if in the white house facing more pressure than a campaign? Looks like a sign on weakness to me.

It appears that the Clintons hav made as many, if not more enemies in the party then friends.

It looks like the dems need to unite first, worry about the country later. For now, the GOP will take advantage of this division within the dems.

I am a canadian and I am seeing a movement in the US only comparible to that of the civil rights movement of the 60's. where the young rise up to the establishment and redifine the values of thier nation. Obama is the face of this movement. if he is elected president, a black man, from a muslim father who's first name rhymes with Iraq and last name with Osama and without the corporate sponsership of the other candidates, then truly America has grown up as a nation.

I don't believe endorsements do much. The Des Moines Register, a very respected newspaper, endorsed Clinton in Iowa, but she didn't win.
I think voters like to make up their own minds.
Also, if you read her statement, she still compliments Clinton as being a "strong candidate."
This race is far from over.

Hillary won NH by a small margin, but both her a Barack split the Delegates from that state even. So the only real benifit of NH for her was the "Come Back Kid" B.S. and she would ride that wave into NV. Since her win I haven't heard a peep from her campaign. With all these endorsements coming in it has been all Obama news. Hillary was annointed when she first announced her intentions on running, and the polls showed her to be the front runner. Know why? Nobody knew who Obama was, now that he is out and campaigning the margin is closing rapidly. She got all the endorsements early, because everybody assumed she was the canidate. Now that people are realizing there is a real chance for a real canidate out there who has more money than her, they are moving towards him.

My vote goes republican if she wins.

Napolitano's one of the US' most successful chief execuitves – according to Time. She's one of the 8 in '08 – women who could have made a strong run for President this year, had they chosen. In an election where illegal immigration is one of the top five issues under contention, she's a noted national leader on immigration policy. Her re-election for a second term showed a 16% positive swing. She has a negative rating of only 9% in the home state of the current Republican front-runner, and would decisively defeat him in a Senatorial election.

Does anyone else look at Governor Napolitano, and think 'Vice President'?

CNN, can you please post my previous4 comments.

Isn't anyone else tired of this fake show of emotion from Hillary? I can't believe that the American public would fall for it! And now, Hillary is getting sympathy becuase it's so hard to campaign for the Democratic nomination?

How about sympathy and pity for the thousands of single mothers working two jobs everyday just to put food on the table. Oh it's so hard to raise $50 million dollars for commercials, it's so hard to be scrutinized by the media. whaaa...whaaa..it's so hard to not be the front runner anymore.

You know what they say, if ya can't take the heat.......

Vote the true leader with the true message since day one, and not the pity party person who now sees an opening and is going to change up her whole strategy for votes!!

OBAMA 08!!

i think its a noble act on behalf of obama to donate himself for people like hilary to have something to talk about, she is so intimidated that she cannot make a complete statement without talking obout wonder boy obama, obama have donated himself as act of charity for people like hilary to have a fulfill life let her keep purnishing her little self, soon she will return to her husband and you will see the real hilary her true color will come out. just watch her

Hey since I'm a brain surgeon and my wife has been married to me for four years, would you let her operate on you??? Better yet, we've been married for four years, but she spent 3 of those years angry with me and not speaking to me...lol How much brain surgery experience did she really get just by being in the area... hmmm..

Nothing personal against Hillary. I actually like her... But we can't go back to 92' and if we did, I'd like to go back with Bill, not necessarily Hillary...

OBAMA 08

He should let me work for him...

JAKE: have you looked up OBAMA's record? He has been quiete a "Lazy" politician. At this point, he is talking, ALOT. Lip service. It's a shame to see many who have wasted votes on this man, and those that will continue to vote on empty words..but everyone is entitled to their opinion and choice. However, really research, and look up his so called "ghost" records.

Well now it's official. The democrats are prepared to make the same mistake that the the republicans made in 2001, put a dry-behind-the-ear for president so that the junkyard dogs could move in to feed off of his flesh and America's when he takes office.

Dick Chenny's war is not enough of a lesson? A nation gets the president it deserves!

RE: Jake, i agree. The proponents of "change" will always make unfounded, cynical comments about candidates other than the ones themselves support. The Governors endorsement of Obama is great news and it only builds the momentum for his candidacy. Its good to see rank-and-file democrats support Obama. Many of them see Clinton as unelectable in the fall.

Wonder who's going to win, in this struggle between the machine and the people?

Experience counts. I like Obama but feel he is too inexperienced. He would be a great Vice President with the prospect of running after Senator Clinton leaves office. Ask George W. Bush about that. If he had been a decent President he would have served two terms. He was a decent man, but a poor leader. I think Hillary has is the best prepared to lead from day one and I will vote for her on Feb. 5 in our primary. However, if Obama wins the nomination, although I am uncertain of his preparedness to lead, I will vote for him over any Republican. I will not stay home. I hope all people who care about this country and want change will do the same and support whomever wins the nomination

If Obama wins the nomination this long time democrat (actually helped the likes of Melcher and Baucus) won't vote for the Democrat. It sickens me to have a candidate not have to explain themselves on issues. As far as Kerry is concerned he wants nothing more than a cabinet post. If Edwards was ahead he'd endorse him.

Its just a matter of time before Bill Clinton endorses Obama. Just kidding. Both are great canidates but Obama is a dreamer, a visionary, his passion for changing the status ago is contagious and he is "the one" that will unite this country and make it better than it has ever been. Obama is a the only presidential contender that is fundamentally diffrent than any other canidate. It seems like all the other canidates are willing to say anything to get our votes, their views change subtly with every poll. Experiece versus change was a theme which Obama started with and now all the other canidates are incorporating change as well as a part of their platform. Obama created this concept of change which is now a plolitical buzzword, his views of the Iraq war have been consistent as he did oppose the war and said that if congress voted to go to war then he would support funding for the troops to ensure that they have the supplies they need. I would rather have sent more troops to Afghanistan and left Iraq to Saddam since he did not have any WMD's. We need change, not more of the same, Vote OBAMA.

According to CNN, Obama is the only candidate, Democratic or Republican to receive any endorsements from anyone. It's really interesting how CNN and the talking heads have the nation whipped into a frenzy for this one candidate. If one of the political parties or and individual we to attempt to exert this much influence over an election, CNN would be screaming "Dirty Politics" and screaming for an investigation. While I dont support Obama, I certainly dont hold anything against him either. I do however think its time to call foul when a major news outlet seems to have become almost another arm of his campaign. It's time for CNN to back off.

how can any sane person conclude that hilary has something to offer Americans, she supported the war in irag, Afganistan, she is guiity of
every atrocity commited by the bush Administration. she was there from the begin and since those clamouring for her to become president should point out at one action she took as a senator, she never spoke out aginst the Bush administration? she has always being a talker she is not a doer, she search herself and found not concret to give to the people she has misled, and the only thing that come to mine is to confess her sins and instead of doing so sincerely, no not a clinton she attribute her own action to obama, always a clinton style lie first and apologise later. she will apologise someday.

"Bill Clinton VS Obama"

"Bill Clinton VS Obama"

Who will be the next president.........

LOL...................You took those words out my mouth.

Bill Clinton was the 90's

We shall defeat Bill Clinton in South Carolina

OBAMA 08 for the 21st century!!!!!!!!!!!

Biologically speaking, Obama is neither black nor white.He is an American of both race. Maybe, it is his views or deeds that makes him black. So far, watching from a distance, I haven´t seen that. For me, he transcends this racial thinking. I thought, he should be in a better position, among other candidates, to deal with the racial issues in America, assuming unity is considered as a factor.

There are no pecfect candidates for president, as current happenings – including the unpredictable ones and handling of events will always decides who the best were or is, for the job. Again, that is very relative.

Although, likability is less a factor for deciding caditates´ competence for this job of such magnitude, but it certainly help matters a lot. Right now, in my view, Obama enjoys likeness from many.

If Obama wins nomination I would love to see him picking his running mate among these folks,first Suzanne Malveaux,Anderson cooper or John King.These 3 people if become politicians will make wonderful candidates.I like their styles and substances.

I also want to mention how the media is giving Hillary inappropriate coverage, meanwhile they are presenting OBAMA (As bill clinton said) in a fairy tale way. It really disgusts me how the media is playing this out as well.

1. the Senator from South Dakota (red state gov. that is very conservative)
2. The mayor of Atlanta (Black big city mayor..all black mayor will back Obama)
3. Senatory < –(learn how to spell please) John Kerry (Lost in 2004..bad omen)
4. the 60,000 member labor union of Nevada (Members will vote 50/50 30,000 Clinton/ 30,000 Obama)
5. Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona.. (Red state gov.)

Bill Richardson will be Clinton's runningmate and the Clintons are still beloved by Minorities (Blacks, Latinos, Women and me–I'm Black)

Why would you criticize Obama for changing his mind about running for president? He can better serve his country and his state as president.

Hillary will win in the western states no matter. The majority of Latin voters (Male and female) are for her. I also know that she will ran up the votes in the eastern states as well.

Actually, Ken in RI, I have gone to Obama's website and read everything I could find there. I think it would be wise for Obama to do the same. He needs to find out what his plans are and bone up on them so that he'll be able to give straight answers about exactly what his plans are and how he will implement them. He has failed to do that in any of the debates and in any of the speeches I have watched. He simply speaks in mind-numbing generalities and catch phrases. By the way, most of those young people who showed up for his rally the night before New Hampshire were there to party! With the top 40 hip-hop tunes blasting, the kids jumping up and down on the bleachers, and chants of "Fired Up and Ready to Go!", they were having the time of their lives. Interesting that so many of them didn't show up at the polls the next day.

This is good for Obama.

I give CNN much credit today for not hyping Obama to death.

Nevada is going to Obama .

These guys are backing Obama now not because of anything more than the fact they believe the 'change' angle is going to work.

The dozens of others whom backed Clinton up to the Iowa caucus did so cause they thought her experience and connections would blow everyone away.

Now the 'wind' has changed. Of course it could change back and forth 14 times in the next 6 months.

Its all politics folks.

Given history and experience (which by the way isnt a bad thing), as far as I see it a Clinton in the White House is the only way to turn around this ridiculous spending habit the government has now.

A message to Mr. Obama – a little less conversation, a little more action please.

The reason Hilary's endorsments don't get published is they were bought and paided for!

I think this is great for Obama. Of course her endorsement may only matter to some people, but I feel like this shows that women don't have to support Clinton in some sort of woman-power issue. The democrats currently have the choice between the first woman president or the first African-American president...so any attempt to portray Obama support as veiled sexism could easily be construed as veiled racism. Let's not play the politics of race or sex, let's consider the issues.

I am very proud of those women who can see far and make good judgement. We do not elect a woman because she is a woman as we are. We choose some one regardless of the gender because we have a trust in that person, confident and knowing that, that person will take us where we want to go.

Can my fellow women like me follow the good example of Iowa women. They are very brave. Do not put the brandy new wine into the old bottle and still label it new! It is not, it will always taste differently!

People outside US enjoys this primaries, Many here wants Obama to win and change American for good and acceptable before international communities. Obama I believe will be a symbols for internartional healing. Moreso, I'm not sure if he is a commited christian but he's living one. Bill and his wife attacked her but he did not even reply and to make things great, he's the only candidate who congt. Hillary on her NH win. Great Obama, keep it up and let Chrisitan in US learn what Christanity should be. I pray God help on your way to Whitehouse. Let change Bush-Ciliton-Bush........Clinton again? who knows.

Yeah!!! Another great endorsement for Senator Obama. Go Obama go!!!

I don't know if this will really do anything to help Senator Obama, but I think it is good news because it leaves open the possibility of an Obama-Napolitano ticket in the fall.

I like Governor Napolitano; she is a popular western governor from a traditionally Republican state that will be in play this fall. I would much rather see governor Napolitano as the first woman president than Senator Clinton.

Oh how easily the Pied Piper can get the meager to follow!

The only "change" Obama has ever made is in seeking out his own political gains!

This guy claims to be the leader of change, but more like the leader of "present" is the word he should be chanting, since his record indicates he never voted on a contraversial bill in either the state or US Senates, when he does vote, which is only about 50% of the time!

Obama ran for the US Senate on the promise of serving his entire term and not seeking the Presidential candacy, well that is "change", change of mind and slapping those he was elected to represent in the face!

So a guy who runs from making the hard choices, never delivered anything but pie in the sky lip service and is doesn't like anyone to see his prior record in any way but fantasy like he does! This is a leader who should lead Disneyland and not the lives of 300+ million people when he won't even give hard facts on how he plans to impliment his likeable slogans!

So looks like handing the Whitehouse to the Republicans who in a fight will push for real answers, bring up records and sit by listening to "Pie in the Sky" dreams!

The fact is that it hurts to lose. All of you who are insulting this governor and the may others who have endorsed Obama are angry because they did not endorse your candidate(s)...this is the plain fact, you can't escape it or fool us.

And to those who say endorsements wont influence voters, please be ware.
Didnt you say this at first about Oprah? That people went to Iowa, NH and SC only to see her not to vote for Obama? Didn't you say this?

Even if these endorsement don't influence voters as you are saying[which is quite the opposite] the Obama camp still benefits from them.

How? Well, they bring delegates and super delegates! Remember even before the Iowa caucuses, Hillary had a lot more delegates than Obama? Things are just evening out my friends don't be afraid.

The ideas that Obama is offering are way larger than Obama himself as manifested by the variety of people from all works of life...and its only going to get bigger. Baseless attacks against Obama himself will not destroy these ideas..if you want to do so you'll need to come up with something more appealing and practical than what he has.
So I'll urge you to safe your little hearts by not worrying too much about this.

Let's see a few of the endorsement since New Hamshire
1. the Senator from South Dakota
2. The mayor of Atlanta and her Junior Senator
3. Senatory John Kerry
4. the 60,000 member labor union of Nevada
5. Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona..

Doesn't this have any meaning to you?

It may be difficult for Obama to win in AZ because independents cannot vote in the primaries. Not to mention the online voter registration "mysteriously" went down the last day of registration.

Anybody But Clinton '08

Endorsements do matter. Janet has her superdelagate vote and can be influential to others with the same.

Hillary was endorsed yesterday by former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros and former U.S. Ambassador Richard Romero, saying she had a record of delivering results for American families. I did not see this in the news, CNN!

Hillary was endorsed earlier in the week by these South Carolina Dems:
State Rep. Jimmy Bales, previously supporting Biden;
Former State Rep. Joe E. Brown, previously supporting Dodd;
Retired Richland County Treasurer Tom Elliot, previously supporting Biden;
Florence County Democratic Party Executive Committee Member JoEtta Chewning

Hillary has also been endorsed by Jesse Jackson's wife.

There is a very long list of her other endorsements on the Hillary Clinton website.

Does anyone seriously think one can manipulate voters all the way to the convention by crying in front of the camera while her spouse it cutting and slashing at the main competition like a serial killer. It worked in N.H. And even there, the count is in dispute. I think the Governor of Arizona realizes this, just as other senior Dems are now realizing: you may cry your way to the convention while your subordinates cut and slash, but the general electorate won't fall for it in Nov. If Clinton is the nominee, watch all the Dems go down in a ball of flames. Gladly, a smart female governor was one of the first to realize it.

It seems like there are some imbalances reporting endorsements, contributions, and POLLS! As an Arizona Democrat I think Janet is wrong about endorsing anyone! She should be working on the budget not running off to Nevada.

What was that other thing...ISSUES!!! CNN and the population should be dissecting the plans and proposals made by each candidate not trying to stampeded the weak willed! I would like straight reporting not spin control!

HIllary is endorsed by Latino mayor Antonio Villeragosa. BAM! take that Obama, all your latin votes are outta here!

TO ALL CLINTON SUPPORTERS:

These endorsements are wake-up calls for Camp Clinton that there are leaders in the Democratic Party who DO NOT LIKE HER!

Even if she wins the nomination, she has her work cut out working against Republicans, let alone working with Democrats who don't like her.

We know she is polarizing, but to be this polarizing that even Democrats at higher levels don't like her is a powerful statement.

Selah!!!

Obama all the way. No fake tears, no lies-–just facts please-that's why Obama is the man.

Thats a good news for Obama team. Endorsement does not necessary mean a win but can pick votes and reduce gab. Endorsement of Obama by Oprah made a big impact in NH. Whats important is that Obama was able to get the same number of delegates as Clinton.
If America prouds herself of multi-racial and the diverse contry in the world then this is a great opportunity for America to show that the minorities' voice must be heard.
The Bush-Clinton Dynasty should end.

if hilary wins the democrats nomination am going to vote for the republican candidate. she and lou bobbs can have all the agenda to make the lives of the middle class better but if you do not have unity that is never going to happen. dubious presenters at cnn keep on with your intransparent reporting especially lou bobbs, wolf and and copper

well said Serge. This is exactly the type of people that make up the Obama camp. I have often said to Clintonites: "I am supporting Obama because Hillary campaigns for herself and Obama campaigns for the people." – it really is that simple regardless of how one would spin it.

Who endorses Hillary besides Magic Johnson?

I no I no Obama is all talk no action; unlike most I looked up his record when he was a state senator. Even though he had some controversial votes I will say this, even the people who didn't agree with him still had good things to say about him read below:

Pay close attention to his willingness to bring even those who opposed him into the mix and solicit ideal to satisfy all sided. (Especially what the police group whom he opposed said)

I would say that's a man of his word, who not only preach change but applied it even when he was a state senator. Unlike Hillary who will do anything or say anything. Obama whether you agree with him or not is consistent on his practical ideology towards change

Obama occasionally supported higher taxes, joining other Democrats in pushing to raise more than 300 taxes and fees on businesses in 2004 to help solve a budget deficit. The increases passed the Senate 30-28.

That's one reason Illinois business groups gave Obama a low rating, while labor groups praised him. But even Obama's allies say he refused to become a rubber stamp for their legislation.

"He always wants to understand an issue and think it through," said Roberta Lynch, deputy director for Council 31 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. "You have to make your case no matter who you are."

For six years, Obama served in a Republican-controlled Senate, so he and fellow Democrats only got a fraction of their bills signed into law.

During his last two years, Democrats controlled the chamber and he was the go-to guy on a variety of issues. He helped pass legislation overhauling Illinois' troubled capital punishment system and was a key figure in requiring a massive statewide study of traffic stops to look for signs of racial profiling. Although police groups opposed the legislation, they say Obama listened to their concerns and accepted some of their suggestions to improve the bill.

Even when he was in the political minority, Obama sometimes played a critical role. He helped write one of the rare ethics laws in a state known for government corruption and worked on welfare reform with Republicans.

He sponsored legislation to bar job and housing discrimination against gays, and he helped create a state version of the earned income tax credit for the poor. Obama also led efforts to reject federal rules that would have put workers' overtime checks in jeopardy

I'm endorsing Hillary – anybody care? I didn't think so.

Endorsements are like cults, they try to influence people to think like them instead of for themselves.............they are so yesterday.

For some who think that people endorsing Obama are helping to bring about change, they had better think what these endorsements are doing to the country with trying to bring it together.

Who ever heard of this mayor before today? Guess she wants her 15 minutes also. Anything to keep his name in the news cycle until people get so sick of hearing it we want to puke.

Gotta go, I am getting sick!!

Good Move.

Jack-K,

This Governor has an opinion about who she thinks can take this country in the right direction.

Your comment about the "Democratic Socialist Party" is funny. And highlights the fact that you're definitely lying about your affiliation or your simply giving into spin. If you were objective, you would know that Dems aren't Socialists. Just as all Republicans aren't Racists.

Why would many members of the democratic party, both liberal and moderate/conservative align themselves with Obama? Have you seen what has been done in Washington lately? NOTHING. There is too much gridlock. You can't get anything done. So, you need someone to bridge the gap, not someone who is so disliked by both parties that they won't get anything done. Which is why an Obama/Edwards ticket or Edwards/Obama ticket would be great.

No need to call people loonies. Contrary to popular beliefs, most dems despise "hand-outs".

Another Boost !

It's obvious that Obama is admired and respected.

If you notice, these negative comments against him–or even Hillary–are not his style. Why do people take joy in being negative? All the headline says is that he has received an important endorsement. The guy is a phenomenal entity, who is classy, well-liked, and who has served as an elected official for almost 12 years. He has the power to collectively heal the nation and enable it to adapt to our new political environment. What is so hard to digest about that?

Calm down. It's an endorsement. He is admired. He is respected. He is endorsed. People are voting for him-and THAT'S OKAY. In fact, for quite a large portion of the country, that's more than okay...that's excellent. All of this negativity and ranting is not going to poison anybody. Neither Obama, nor the governor who's endorsing Obama, can hear all this negativity–and none of his supporters are affected by it. Again, calm down.

Anyway to keep Hiliary from letting Billy to sit in the Oval office

Actually, Phyllis in Los Angeles, anyone with a few minutes to spare and an internet connection can go to Obama's web site and download an Adobe PDF of his 'Blueprint for Change' document, and learn exactly where he stands on every single issue, and what his plans are in detail. I'm sure Ms. Napolitano has already done this. Since you clearly have NOT, you are in no position to comment on what his positions and plans might be. Educate yourself before you fire off partisan criticism based on rank ignorance. It'll only take you a few hours to learn what Obama has to say, and that will be time well spent. You'll certainly be able to post less foolish comments in the future at the very least.

Endorsments are NEVER signficant unless it's one for Hillary Clinton huh Hillary supporters? I guess if Gore was to come out and endorse a candidate that wouldn't matter either??? Idiots!!

Obama wants to double the minimimum wage and peg it to the inflation rate. Nothing like rewarding those who work the least in high school.

American politics is funny. When Hilary was the commander in chief she got every endorsement . Now that she is a deep trouble everyone seems to be abandoning her for Obama. Well Obamania has reached fever pitch and even europe is caught up in the frenzy. Leading EU papers reported an enthusiasm arounf Obama calling him the black Kennedy.

Will Obama deliver? Maybe ,maybe not. I dont know for sure! Wwll Hilary too is to blaem for not being able to manage her own campaign .To me those are signs she wont be able to manage the country. A campaign where everbody does his/her own thing.

I dont know if Obama will deliver but going by the campaign management style if that alone was to be my measuring stick I give Obama 70/100 and Mrs Clinton 35/100.You cant tell if its Mark Penn or Bill or Hillary that is in command.total chaos

Sounds great, we're all for changeeeeeeeeeeeee

If anyone is truly supporting Obama, I think you should embody his calling for a new discourse in America. You can disagree without being disagreable.

I am for Obama but not against Clinton...I just think we need a clean break from the past and look to the future, period.

all the way to the White House , Go homeboy!!!!

God bless you!! – Arizona Governor. I hope many people in America will learn from you, and what Kelly and others have set in place. Obama is the only able candidate.

A good candidate will tell the people what he/she has in mind, and what he/she can do for the people. It is not a matter of confusing emotions with lack of words and ideas, and shed tears to win sympathy. It is shame to see a person who wants to be president of a great nation like USA, to shed tears with empty message, just to win voters favour.....what a shame!!!

Hillary is not a demon as most people make her out to be. Yes, she is a true politician–always calculating her next move. However, the idea to have two families dominating the political scene is somewhat unsettling. I think, in my humble opinion, that we need a clean break. I think that Obama represents that break from the past whether or not you like him or not. Furthermore, as an independent minded democrat, I think Hillary would rally the opposition so much that the election could be in the balance, yet again.

Sounds like Janet Napolitano doesn't want to share the political stage with another woman who is smarter than she is. Or maybe she just has a taste for fads and knick-knacks. Or maybe she decided to jump on the Obama bandwagon, swept away by the razzle-dazzle of his campaign. Too bad she didn't try to find out where he stands on issues, what his agenda is, and how he plans to improve America and the lives of its citizens. In the end, her endorsement will be about as important as Oprah's.

Thanks, Governor! We appreciate someone with good common sense and a penchant for honesty and integrity in candidates she indorses! Well done!!!

Bill Clinton Vs. Barack Obama. Who will be the next president?

May b governor is infected by Obama Flu

Good News! People hear Obama's message and are heeding the call. Endorsements do help, especially if a large number of people like the Cuminary Union in Nevada or high powered political types like Senator Kerry and Governor Napolitano weigh in.

GO AMERICA! GO OBAMA!

May be governor get a bunch of presents from Oprah. I guess Oprah will do anything for Obama to win this election coz she just want to cover up her mess. May be governor is a fan of Oprah.......???

Obama is racking up the endorsements, 3 in 3 days. Whether one alone is hugely significant or not, to keep them coming in visibly is quite a thing. The Culinary Institute-related union endorsement, then John Kerry's, then the Arizona governor. It makes for good press and adds to the momentum I would speculate, and likely helps with fundraising and other resources for getting out the vote.

I like Hillary too, but just noting some good apparent strategy here.

GOBAMA

This Governor has an impressive resume. She represented Anita Hill–and served as the Attorney General for AZ.

Here's my question. If she is such a "hot shot" in the Democratic party and so influential–why did John Kerry pick John Edwards instead of her as his running mate in 2004?

I gotta say–looks like the ultra-liberal's are forming by Obama!!

Even as a Democrat–that's a scary think due to the "really close" ties of the far left to the Democratic Socialist Party.

John Edwards believes–we can make changes in Washington–without having to open-up the "give away basket". His agenda–calls for tweaking the free-market system we all enjoy and appreciate–as the right thing. Not "blowing up" the freemarket system!!!

Think about this folks. If you're a Democrat who leans conservative–you had better stick w/ John Edwards!! Because Obama is drawing all the loonies–and Hillary is having to sway–very far left!! Perhaps too far to get the all important "center"!!

I'm sure all you Clinton supporters would belittle her if she endorsed Hillary. Talk about hypocrisy.

Oh gross

I think it's very sad that Kucinich is asking for a recount in NH because he heard rumors. It's sad that Obama and Edward's supporters have been brainwashed into thinking that Clinton's presidency was a joke and that 23 million new jobs and a balanced budget with surplusses, meant nothing to America. They would have you believe they are just like Bush. So now if Hillary wins a state, are we going to have a recount every time? It's very sad that these supporters are now using the same Republican talking points to smear the Clintons. I just wonder if Edwards had surprised people and won, would Kucinich still be calling for a recount. I am a Hillary supporter and I a say go ahead and recount, but casting doubt on fellow democrats because your guy didn't win the primary, in a state up until the day of the Iowa Caucus, was Hillary's to lose, is just sad. Recount the votes and if Hillary still wins, I expect Kucinich and everyone else who wants to bash Hillary and claim NH people are racist, or that somehow they cheated Obama, to issue an apology to Hillary. I will still vote for whoever wins the democratic nomination, but this is a sad day for our party.

Truckloads of Thanks, Governor!

I know you hear your people speaks
as well as your great mind.

Gracia's

Go Hillary...

Wake up AMERICA...

Agron
Michigan for HILLARY....

She actually resembles a male more than a female and does endorsements matter. Not really!

Endorsements do not matter to voters; when will we realize this?

VOTE CLINTON-RICHARDSON '08

Endorsements do not matter to voters; when will we realize this?

VOTE CLINTON-RICHARDSON '08

This is a very interesting endorsement for Obama. Napolitano is a believer in principles and pragmatism, just like Obama. It is easy to see why she would side with him.

Thank You Ma'am

Your State has always been an inspiration of HOPE, May God Bless!!!!!!

Go Janet! She is a strong leader of Arizona who didn't need a husband or father to teach her how to do the job.

Thank You Ma'am

Your State has always benn an inspiration of HOPE, May God Bless!!!!!!

All you wanna commmentators, this governor has much more experience than any one of you. She can see things that you can't see.

bush-clinton-bush-clinton does not mean change to me

Those tears won't work in the south and you can take that to the bank.

so what????

very much doubt anybody change their mind because of it... Oprah did not help...this endorsements either.....

Oh...I have to add. Why when Obama gets and endorsement it is news. And all the hundreds that Hillary get are a one line statement. Gee hate hits again.

Thank You!

Gee whiz, you can also tell by the type of endorsement, where the Hillary haters live.

So what?

Go-bama!

Glad to see that not all women are suckers for fake emotional stuttering from the likes of Hillary Clinton.
