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,

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

Mike Huckabee Republican 0 3 3
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
