 Hillary Clinton looked shocked by one young man's question Friday.
Hillary Clinton looked shocked by one young man's question Friday.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Voters ask a lot of the nation’s White House hopefuls, but Democrat Hillary Clinton looked particularly taken aback by a request from one attendee at a Friday campaign event in the Los Angeles area.

"Hillary, marry me, baby," a man yelled at the New York senator as she finished her economic address and prepared to take questions.

The crowd erupted in laughter, and Clinton looked genuinely shocked as she turned to face the questioner.

"That is certainly the kindest offer I've had in a while," Clinton said to loud cheers.

But she added immediately, "I'd probably be arrested."

Clinton visited delegate-rich California - one of the more than two dozen states to vote February 5 - to lay her economic stimulus package.

The shouted proposal was markedly friendlier than an incident in New Hampshire Monday, when a man yelled at her to "Iron my shirt."

"Ah, the remnants of sexism - alive and well," Clinton responded then.

kruger, if you think the teary-eye chokey-throat schtick was authentic, I trust you bowed before Her Majesty at the wax museum. When candidates defy the pundits, they go into the balloting firm in their conviction that they will prevail despite the odds or the prognostications, or both. Hillary and her husband were instead making (a) light of the primary's importance and (b) excuses for the loss. That's called a set-up. It set up Hillary as underdog, so that the story of her victory would not be just another story of a primary win, but instead a BIG story of a SURPRISE BREAKTHROUGH! This sort of thing happens all the time in expensive elections; you can even trace the provenance of the various set-up "plays" to particular consultants, with some of whom I happen to have worked. There were all kinds of manipulations in that primary, but was it "rigged", like CNN's GOP "debate" in Florida? Nah. Not really. Nothing like the '60 NH primary was bought by Joe Kennedy. That was clear-cut. Things aren't about fat envelopes these days; favor-trading and patronage jobs, sure, but mostly they're about who's better at manipulating the major U.S. media, which long ago gave up attempting journalism, along with any pretense of objectivity. You may think these comments partisan. They're not. It's still a great and lovable country, and its system of governance works in spite of the politicians and their fixers.

kruger   January 26th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

to all the clowns who say they the elections in NH was rigged, I say this – get a life. You folks make me sick. Her win in NH made the political pundits and the likes eat their own crow. To me this is fair and square. Stop whining. Infact it is the likes of Chris Mathews, Tim Russert et al who had injected the race issue. Add to this list the boyish looking but venomous Tucker Carlson and Mikha Brezezinsky. The latter was tolerable for awhile and now this woman thinks she has earned her right to talk ill of the Clintons. She is just as arrogant as her old man Zbignew Brezeznsky. Of course I am waiting for the day when Tucker Carlson is made to eat his other shoe. Of course this was the famous episode on CNN's "CROSSFIRE" a few years ago and after that he was booted out and then the program was discontinued. It is so very clear in my memory. Was a great day for me watching Tucker Carlson's face.

Now, maynard. Just because the answer to all three is Yes, doesn't mean that you should pose loaded questions. Shame on you.

Worship Hillary Indeed! Cast your spent condoms at her feet, your recycled hemp to carpet her way! Bow down! Prostrate thyself! Spare not the seed that brings human desolation to the Face of our Mother Gaia! Let not Nature be denatured by the unnatural natures of the ones not Her creatures! For the High Priest Munchausen of Oslo has prophesied that this generation of the Time of Buum and Ur will see the Incarnation of the Mother so long awaited! Behold, Gaia's Vulcan belly is in heat! In the New Solar Year She will come at last, bringing judgment upon the soldier and the banker alike, and restoring to the Sacred Place the holy trade in carbon indulgences! She will disclose to us Her merciful intent for the perfection of our bodies in Her Likeness, and give unto us the sacred blueprints of the Temples of Prius and Gyna, that both breeder and Sapphist might enjoy the Blessed Sacraments of the Turkey Baster and the Loving Dispatch of the inconvenient! It shall be Her pleasure to cool the waters and bring Accord to berg and burg!

WORSHIP HILLARY!!!!

I would marry Hillary in a HEARTBEAT! She is a babe that has power. My two favorite things in a woman are age beauty and power. She has them all.

Hi DJ. Please look at the end of either the "I Do Have Emotions" string or the "Clinton Gets Emotional in New Hampshire" string, herein. You're exactly right. Possibly more so than you think.

DJ   January 13th, 2008 5:15 am ET

This is so fake. Mrs. Clinton Knows it. This was complete setup to get attention in the media. Oh My God......... I want to cry, well Hilary did. I'm a democrat, if she wins the nomination I would vote republication first. The campaign is so dirty with their tricks to get votes. I want to marry you, huh.? Who thinks of these crazy punch lines.

The shouted proposal was markedly friendlier than an incident in New Hampshire Monday, when a man yelled at her to "Iron my shirt."

"Ah, the remnants of sexism — alive and well," Clinton responded then.

An no one is able to connect the dots that this was a perfect set up for Hilary to have planted this person so she can play her gender card which she does as well as she plays the tears?

Patson-G   January 12th, 2008 11:50 pm ET

Well, " hell ary " oopss my bad! Hillary has to remember that it doesn't take a woman to act and/ or like a man to be a "strong woman"..... being iced cold, frigid and faking your emotions don't make a woman strong. Maybe deep inside she never accepted herself as a woman or had trouble dealing with her womanhood, remember she said while in college, she was the one who approached Bill, not the other way around. Now the question is what do we call a woman who take the initiative of going after an unknown man???? Maybe her failure in playing fully her role as a suppove woman sent her husband into another wonan's hands.
Did she really forgive Bill ? is she still married to him out of guilt ? is Bill just fighting her battle this hard ( jeopardizing the love and admiration American and the World have for him) to give her the White house and de facto get her " forgiveness"? If she doesn't elected as president will she still be married to Bill? She need to do a serious introspection before defeat turns her into an implosion.

You are absolutely right. But for the Clinton supporters John we are fighting for the respect of not only this great woman but the for respect of the democratic party. No one can honestly say Obama is the one. We can't stand in silent of this.

Clinton will boldly take us to where no man has been before. clinton 08

Alvin   January 12th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

During Clinton's regime, the world has a very high regard for the United States. The economy was on the rise... so and so... Sadly, the world's view of America changed for the worse. I would love to see the old America again, reason why I would go for Hillary. Change is not bad, however, a tried and tested experience counts more. Change has drawbacks- uncertainties. But, if change is coupled with experience, you certainly have something.

James Brown ( Independent )   January 12th, 2008 9:08 pm ET

The kind of experience that Hillary Clinton brings to the table is " more of the same or worse". She is a lightening rod for all that is wrong with Washington , and every time Bill opens his mouth , its another vote for OBAMA......."thank you Bill".

Obama has a track record of crossing party lines and bringing people together to find solutions , and SOLUTIONS is what this country needs.

OBAMA 08

Amy   January 12th, 2008 8:35 pm ET

Hillary-ous!!! As a female, I find this type of gender pandering as simply pathetic.

I want a woman one day as President. But one who can make us proud that she earned her status on her own merit. Not on her husbands name, his experience, and her tears. Hillary is not the right woman for the job. We have many better women to choose from in this country whose last name is not Clinton.

Charles Best   January 12th, 2008 8:35 pm ET

You know the old saying, Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never harm you, keep up with your dream and you just may be our next president. You have my vote.

Clinton and Obama are all style and no substance. Edwards is the only choice for the nomination he will change things. The only change Clinton and Obama will perform is changing the sheets for big business.

Hillarylover in Texas   January 12th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

I agree w/ you John, Scotland, United Kingdom. For myself – I am beyond words. I know I shouldn't let anyone of this Obama bs get to me but it does. To me its the principle of it all. Obama is not good enough to run. He shouldn't have run. Had he stayed out maybe Biden would still be in. Which we all know all tons more experience. The media playing with minds is unbelievable. The weak minds. Die hard democrats are not playing into anything Obama is saying. If you read the blogs the more he speaks the more people become convinced he is just a broken record. As an american I cannot keep quiet even though I agree with you sir. As we speak this is beginning to unravel and the democratic party is doing nothing.

Doesn't everyone see how foolish it is to make a news story out of what someone heckles? It just encourages other people to do it, which then gets reported on, and we the voters are missing out on what the candidates say about real issues.

Jack Jett   January 12th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

I think it was Chris Matthews......only the question was directed at Bill

John, Scotland, United Kingdom   January 12th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

The democrats are in danger of throwing the general election if the Clinton and Obama camps -and their supporters- don't calm down. There is no doubt Obama ia a brilliant, inspiring orator and is hugely exciting for this reason. There is no doubt Hillary has experience coming out of every orifice. Furthermore, there is no doubt America and Americans need change.
But what would they do as Commander in Chief ? How will they embody change ?
The issues must be at the forefront in deciding who can deliver what America needs right now and for the next few years.
The cynics and conspiracy theorists need to step aside and allow for constructive
and detailed debate on the issues most important to Americans, as opposed to hi-jacking message boards with posts one would expect from High School students.
This election is not about Black v's White, Woman v's Man. It should not be won by the candidate with the most catchy slogans or with the best comic response to heckles.
America votes: choose carefully. The World can't wait forever for you to get it right.

Roger Amante   January 12th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Edwards doesn't belong to bug companies, NAT, but he belongs to the Council of Foreign Relations. So, Edwards may have the illusion of a good cnadidate, but he truly doesn't. He has little experience and he is the deifintion of a democratic pushover. He always follows the democratic party and never follows his own beliefs. That kind of weakness is unacceptable in any president.

Ron Paul 2008

and kucinich isn't that bad. just because he saw a ufo doesn't have anything to do with how he is as a president, Kris. He actually has good values and stands up for the American people. You should look him up too.

KayTee   January 12th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I can not believe that if Hilary is elected, that we will be lead by none other than Bill Clinton (you know the one that signed into law the biggest tax increase ever).

CensoredByCNN   January 12th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Why would anyone want to marry Hillary?

NAT   January 12th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

i'm a minority living in Pennsylvania (a black young guy who goes to college) and i think the best candidate now is Edwards – he has no relations what so ever with any of the big companies – drug and oil so IF he gets elected i think he might and WILL do something about cooperate America greed that is going on unchecked ravishing the middle class right now. But since he hasn't accepted any money from this BILLION dollar companies, he is GREATLY underfunded. So who is the NEXT best thing?
OBAMA? come on people this is a guy who is willing to talk to people like Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who openly have called America "the dwelling place of the devil". In other words, he is willing to COMPROMISE with people like these- people who deny that the HOLOCAUST has ever happened. COME THE HELL ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So although i can't vote for the primaries, I will be more than HAPPY to vote for HILARY on the general election. AFTER SHE HAS WON THE PRIMARIES that means.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all the African Americans out there do not forget that no president (other than Lincoln, of course) has done more for the African Americans like Bill Clinton. Which by the way won him the honorary African-American title.

IT IS NOT WHO YOU ARE (black, white, man, woman, gay, staright) IT IS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE???? WHAT HAVE THEY ACHIEVED??????

I can't remember one thing Obama has claimed to have achieved other than saying: ' I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO OPPOSED THE IRAQ WAR"........ although he wasn't even in the SENATE at that time...............good one there Obama.......haaaaa

Sue   January 12th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

4 Reasons why Hillary should NOT be the democratic nominee:

Hillary Clinton might win the nomination, but there are a number of problems with selecting her:

(1)Recent polls have shown that 50% of the country won’t vote for her in the general election under ANY circumstances, so she’s already playing on a really short field. It’s tough to win if half the country has turned its back on your candidacy and you don’t know for sure if you have the full support of the other half.

(2)The republicans want to run against her because they have 20 years’ worth of dirt against the Clintons to regurgitate in swiftboat ads during the general election.

(3)She needs independents to win, and Obama polls better than her with independents in general election match-ups.

(4)Bloomberg’s group, Unity08, has made it very clear that unless the parties nominate candidates that are NOT polarizing, they will place a very well-funded independent candidate (i.e. Bloomberg – who has up to $1 BILLION to spend) into the race. In other words they will throw in a SPOILER. Bloomberg is Ralph Nader X100. Hillary is the most polarizing candidate in either race, and she’s the one who 50% of the country won’t vote for in the general election, and who has a greater problem attracting independents – and the polls show this is in a two-party race WITHOUT a spoiler. So, the presence of a spoiler in the race is going to hurt Hillary (i.e. democrats) the most. Given these facts, I think Unity08 has been formed to stop Hillary from becoming president.

I think if democrats insist on nominating Hillary, we will for sure be in for 8 more years of republican rule.

Good Lord, have these people absolutely no shame. This guy is obviously as a plant hoping to generate the male interest in Hill.
Clinton Inc. must think we are all turnips that fell off the truck last night.

Kris   January 12th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Obama supporters are hilarious. It is sad to see how much you fall for speeches instead of focusing issues and policies. And now you take Kucinich – the man who saw a UFO – seriously.

This is so sad to see.

Roger Amante   January 12th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Hey everyone! Just wanted you to consider another strong candidate. Just take 5-10 minutes and your vote may actually change. Look up Ron Paul at Wikipedia, or ww.ronpaul2008.com. Against the Patriot Act. Supporter of gun rights. Never voted to raise taxes. Against Patriot Act. Against Real ID Act. Against IRS. Graduate of Gettysburg and Duke (has a masters). Delivered over 4000 babies. Voted against war. Wants states to decide on abortion rights. Acclaimed by Ronald Reagan. Flight Surgeon in military. Look him up. You'll see that he stands for America more than any other candidate.

Ron Paul 2008

NC   January 12th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

There were 27 delegate votes to be had (22- earned; 5-at large) in NH. At the end of the day Edwards had 4, Clinton had 12 (9-earned; 2-at large), and Obama had 13 (9-earned; 3-at large). Check the record and do the math.

Michele   January 12th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Hillary is a member of the council on foreign relations. So are most other candidates except Ron Paul. These people care more about other countries than America. Do your research people. I used to be a blind democrat and follow the leader but now actually care enough to research the person that wins my vote.

James Smith   January 12th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

news wire- 12 Jan 08
“In exit polls of voters in last Tuesday's New Hampshire presidential primaries, people in both parties named the economy as their top concern, including 38 percent of Democrats and 31 percent of Republicans. Of those citing the economy, the most votes went to Hillary Rodham Clinton for Democrats and John McCain among Republicans — and each won their party's contest.”
The economy is getting worse, and that favors Hillary, whose plan echoes the successes of the Clinton years.

Butch Dillon   January 12th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

If anyone would know, Hillary should know whether sexism is alive and well. She lived with a sexual viper for over 35 years. Who's she kidding??? The stories from her campaign are becoming revolting because of their plasticity if nothing else.

Max   January 12th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Thank you Tom Davie!! Wow a post that actually makes sense!

Clinton and Obama need to explain what, besides Iraq (the issue de jour) they are going to do with our foreign policy. How about dealing with China, Russia, India and Pakistan, not to mention fundamentalist countries such as Saudia Arabia where, the irony is we buy their oil to drive our cars but they don't allow women to Drive IN S.A. This is really messed up. We should be boycotting countries that continue gender apartheid.

To Queer Planet– Please weigh in all the man-made disasters when spewing your population overgrowth (overblown) figures. The REAL problem is delivery of food and water resources to the populations, not just the limited resources. Try dealing with corrupt African governments like, um Mugabe and Kibake. Think about the Tsunamis, earthquakes, mudslides, terror attacks and wars that kill more people than we can count.

pat   January 12th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

i am so dissapointed in all ted turners networks that they cant stay out of politics an just let the canidates duke it out. that they have to degrade a canidate such as hilly clinton, ted turner has a woman problem, an in his small mind no woman is going to be president. so hill keep blasting hillery every chance he gets through his news media. poor ted jane said no in 97 so your taking it out on all women.start giving all the possible candidates what they earned an respect then as equals . your news staff has coninually blasted hillery clintons campain fron day one. start being fair. hillery go girl.

Washington Voter   January 12th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Hillary is such a phoney as are her groupie supporters that she hires to plant "fan" comments on news sites like these... Fan frolicking assumes that the average American reader is an idiot and that elections can by peer pressure...

If she wins the candidacy based on her democrat diehard loyalist fanbase, she won't beat McCain in a general election... She's too fake, republicans and independents won't voter for her, and Americans are sick and tired of the media campaign spin game...

cole   January 12th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Clinton sounded more like Obama this morning addressing the Michigan crowd.
She seems willing to borrow whatever it takes to win but what can she really "deliver"? I think the news needs to downplay her victory in NH. She only won by 3%.
It wasn't overwhelming. Think, America, what's happening here?

NC   January 12th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

If you check the fine print, you'll discover that although Clinton won the popular vote Obama won the delgate count (ie. electorate) in NH. Do you recall how Gore lost the election while winning the popular vote? It's not enough to be POPULAR; a candidate must be 'elected' by the electorate.

The media has trivialised this election. As for the bias against HRC, it is so blatant that even Wolf Blitzer has fallen for it. The exception is almighty Lou Dobbs. Hate him or love him, i have found him to be open-minded as far as 2008 is concerned.

PS. Obama is just a dreamer. Go Hill

Charles in Salt Lake City, UT   January 12th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Hey CNN - I've had a perfectly reasonable comment "in moderation" since 3:04 am and it's now 12:14 pm. What gives? It sort of defeats the purpose of a dialogue blog when you're so untimely. Maybe if the moderators would pry their lips off from Hillary's derriere they could do their jobs.

Unless, of course, that IS their job.

Please, Kucinich a little elf of a man who married a British woman half his age, only eats vegan, flaunts that "hey look at the woman smiling on my arm" "it's because I am vegan ' believes UFO's will take over if he isn't elected...already told his supporters to vote for Obama has NO OBJECTIVITY.

For those who want to dispute, I had dinner with the man and his very lovely wife in Litchfield, CT in September. If you need verification of that, email me, I'll be happy to show you the invite, and the pics.

Therefore, Kucinich has no moral authority to claim election rigging when he already has committed to Obama.

And for those who are thinking of trashing this or me, I am an Obama supporter. Go to CT on his website and you can see I am hosting a KO and fundraiser for him.

Now, LET'S STOP THIS CRAP. The lackluster, status quo GW repuks that are running are bashing the dems.....THE DEMS need to stop bashing each other. Lest you'll end up with a HuckaDOODLEbee and Guiliarcheaterani ticket in the White House.

The book introduces a great man by the name of Nicoloae Carpathia Which ended up to be the Anticrist . This man was described as the new Romanian ambassador to the U.N. He was young, dashing, charming, persuasive, well dressed, well spoken, and no blemishes on his record. This man was very popular with with his colleagues and the people. He was in the lower house of deputies and rose to the occasion from nowhwere to unseat the President of Romania without an election. Everyone become under his hynotic power. Now the story goes on in the next books -Tribulation Force and of course, Nicolae. The Barrach Obahma story–in most respects, paints the same story.

I love you Oprah and all those who support this brother, but my gutt tells me these are the years before the coming of Christ.

Shame on all you liars and gossip monggers.Obama is not a better politician than Hillary.Because he won in Iowa with his Illinos planted Iowans so he is THE MAN.Hillary will prove that she can win on next saturday again,and after super duper Tuesday,it will be all over.

Response to Mike Eugene of Oregon

In reference to recent polls suggesting more blacks are angry at the Clinton candidacy. All the blacks I have spoken with are voting for Clinton. Also very few blacks participate in polls. I will not being voting for Obama just because he is black. The United States is in a crisis and we need someone that have the experience to run the country and that is not Obama or Edwards.

Charles in Salt Lake City, UT   January 12th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the favorite catch-phrase nine out of ten Hillary lovers like to post repeatedly is "you go girl"? Like it's some sort of retro 70s mantra or something? How tedious.

For those who are too young to recall, the Yugo was a poorly designed, uncomfortable, cheap little car that couldn't get up to speed, failed to live up to the hype, fell apart, and was soon forgotten.

Hmm...

Hillary - yugo girl!

Why does she have to dealwith all these sexist remarks? While no one can dare make a racist remark at him. Are women not human? Discrimination is a discrimination, gender based or race based? We should not tolerate anymore sexist remarkds thrown at Hillary.
This is Hillary's time. It's time to change the world leadership. Men have created enough war, now it's time for a woman to put an end to all these choes!

Check the past elections... it is typical for those in the area of the diebold machines to vote one way and those in the area where paper ballots are used to vote another way. This is not the first time this has happened in New Hampshire, I really don't know what all of the fuss is about... the election was not rigged. Get over it, Hillary won! If Obama with all of his drama would have won, should us Hillary supporters be out in the dumpsters checking for discarded paper ballots? This is so ridiculous. New Hampshire spoke and Senator Clinton is their candidate! Hillary Clinton for President!!!!!

Alice Black   January 12th, 2008 11:58 am ET

CNN – you need to start asking Obama real questions one-on-one, and stop just showing his "canned" speeches! You also need to be fair when showing each candidate – show them in the SAME setting – don't "cherry pick" to give favoritism to your favorite candidate (obviously CNN coverage favors Obama). When you show a clip of him giving a speech – also show a clip of Hillary giving a speech. When you show a clip of Hillary answering a real question, show one of him answering a real question too! You need to try to be UNBIASED, and show where candidates are on real ISSUES, not just who gives the best "religious revival" speeches.

Give Me a Break   January 12th, 2008 11:52 am ET

"Hillary is the only candidate to propose a viable economic plan to help keep our country out of a recession."

Jack,

With all due respect, one of her "proposals" to help avert a recession is a "90 day moratorium" on foreclosures. This is nothing more than political pandering to people who are hurting financially and in real danger of losing their homes.

Just how does she expect to create and enforce this moratorium? Is the Federal Government going to make a law telling banks and mortgage companies what to do with legally enforceable contracts? Is she going to plead with the lenders and local government agencies to stop all foreclosure proceedings? Her "plan" has no real substance...it's merely an attemp to tell folks what they want to hear.

Truth be told, there IS no way to keep are country out of a recession at this stage, and politicians need to be straightforward with people.

It's Econ 101, Hillary. Declining home valuations, resulting in reduced buying power + a weak dollar resulting in higher import prices + higher energy cost + tighter credit lending standards = less consumer spending which equals recession. Just tell it to us straight.

Chris, Orlando FL   January 12th, 2008 11:24 am ET

From CNN.com...

Early victories appear to have boosted Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in the Democratic nomination battle, with Clinton the choice of nearly half of registered Democrats nationwide.

Clinton is at 49 percent in the new poll, up nine points from the December survey, with Obama at 36 percent, which is a six-point gain from his December standing.

Obama finished first in Iowa's Democratic caucuses. Clinton won in New Hampshire.

"Clinton has re-established herself as the Democratic front-runner, especially among Democratic women," Schneider said.

Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina is a distant third, at 12 percent, with Rep. Dennis Kucinich at 1 percent. The sampling error for the Democratic results is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

More than half of registered Democrats polled consider Clinton most likely to win the Democratic nomination.

"Clinton is also seen by Democrats nationwide as more likely to have a clear plan for the economy, Iraq and health care. A potential Clinton victory also generates more enthusiasm among Democrats than the prospects of Obama winning the party's nod."

GO HILLARY!!!

Diebold?   January 12th, 2008 11:20 am ET

For those that mentioned Diebold as tampering with the votes on behalf of Hillary...it is obvious that you do not know Diebold's history. They are a STAUNCH REPUBLICAN company. They loathe and detest Hillary. I suppose they could be tampering if they felt Hillary was the easiest to defeat in an election against their GOP candidate, however, my husband has worked in Finance for many, many years and with the top execs in finance and politics, and it is well understood, so far as I know, that the candidate the GOP fears the most is Hillary, so I don't think they want to be running against her. Karl Rove came out recently smearing her and making remarks about how electable she is, which leads me to believe they fear her.

c ilivuziman   January 12th, 2008 11:12 am ET

An other fake question – we know she plants questions she wants to be asked before her meetings. The question of marriage is undoubtedly a faked one because she looked like she knew about it before and her responses and jokes were obviously long prepared.
The public seems not liking her real profile and wants her to look like – she is trying to be who the public wants her to be -Yesterday, she went to meet American-Latinos and commented that she was there for votes not for diner! Wow! She would do anything to win votes...
I hope she is not counting on my vote...

I think its great that Barack belongs to an all black church whose stated mission is loyalty to Africa. I do agree that people should remember their roots. However I don't really understand where this fits for the rest of us should he be elected President. Oh well, turnabout is fair play I guess. I also have a problem with Granny in Kenya. Should she be preparing corn for the animals at 83 years old??? Given the explosive conditions in Kenya at the present time, perhaps Obama should be using his persuasive tongue to talk Grandma into a trip to the U.S. Did the charm not work when he tried to get at least a temporary visa ? If he tried!!! He does have the school in Kenya and I have to give him credit for that. Of course, the school can't be used at the moment because of the current conditions. But ,very nice try Barack. Our schools could use some work too I think we are about 28th in the world in science and math. Last but not least , he does read the speeches better than anybody , and I mean bar none.

Nevertheless, I just feel that this great country is in such a mess that it needs more than nice tries and great speeches so if I could vote I'd have to go with Hillary with Obama as a very capable vice. MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!!!

Shaun Gerhard   January 12th, 2008 10:18 am ET

K Cseri   January 12th, 2008 10:10 am ET

Aileen Murphy you are 100% correct!!!! Your post is THE most intelligent one I have seen on any blog that pertains to Hillary or Obama.

I have one more thought you didn't cover, all the people saying that "women" feel sorry for Hillary being picked on so they run out to vote for her. I resent that!!! These remarks imply that women vote on emotions rather than their brains, like we aren't very bright. I think more women use their brains to make decisions than men do. Men are the emotionally immature people. Women run homes, raise children, work outside jobs, take care of their husbands, they can't function on emotions and do all those jobs at the same time, so please people stop saying that.

Phil, Memphis   January 12th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Sadly, we want honesty from our candidates, but the voters and supporters posting on here don't see any problem spewing lies and hatred. BTW, the "iron my shirt" asses were from a radio show that does pranks, they were nopt Clinton plants. I'm not going to vote for her, but if you vote against someone, at least do it for the right reasons, not because you are sexist, bigoted or just a plain creep. Will the liars and haters get out of the discussion so that honest Americans can share legitimate ideas and thoughts and try to make the right decision to elect someone who can help save our country?

Jack   January 12th, 2008 9:49 am ET

Hillary is the only candidate to propose a viable economic plan to help keep our country out of a recession. Where is Obama's proposal? Has anyone actually read his economic plan? It is a mess.

I wish some of these black leaders could get racial things off their mind. Our friends in the black community are doing well economically, educatrional, and income from sports, self employment businessesi f they put forth an effort like others do. I grew up dirt poor and white. I could have screamed racial prejudice a million times in the work force, only thing is I am white and blonde. Most comments are not really meant in a racial overtone and most younger people don't even know what it is. For God's sakes, quit bringing it up at the least of a comment. I guess they just like being heard every now and then. I have black friends, and we joke over racial comments and have a good time with it, cause we have put it in the past.

She'll make a great president.

Lisa   January 12th, 2008 9:16 am ET

Tina – Hillary is claiming that she is being treated differently because she is a woman, but she is the one that is demanding to not be treated like any other candidate.

I have heard some women complain that Hillary's being called Hillary is sexist because the other candidates are commonly called by their last names. It was Hillary's decision to run as "Hillary" to not be confused with the other Clinton – Bill. But is it sexist to call Hillary by her first name? Doesn't Mitt Romney often gets called Mitt instead of Romney, and Rudy goes by Rudy rather than Guilanni?

Hillary complains that people speak about her appearance because she is a woman. However, I have heard lots of criticisms about male candidates – Dennis Kucinich, Fred Thompson being spoken about negatively about their appearance; and Mitt Romney being compared to movie star looks. So it seems that male or female – our culture does make comments about appearances.

The "it hurts my feelings" comment if said by Ron Paul (who is attacked mercilessly by his opponents) or Mitt Romney who is frequently attacked by his opponents as a flip flopper would never expect or demand their opponent to say something nice to them.

Also the it hurts my feelings statement stemmed out of something that was not stated by Obama; but the comment from the NH moderator that the people of New Hampshire didn't like her as much as Obama. So here people expected, demanded that Obama soothe Hillary's hurt feelings? This doesn't make any sense at all. Also, for him to expect to do that after she had just been so negative and attacking him and Edwards.

Hillary's complaints of being treated differently because she is a woman is not because others are being disrespectful to her – but because she is expecting to be treated differently than any other candidate or else she will cry "you're picking on me." Not a very strong role model.

What would she do if Castro or Hugo Chavez insulted her? Would she call them sexists? They both insult Bush frequently, and nobody seems to be distraught over that.

+++++++

SORRY GABBY, BUT READING POLLS FOR THE PURPOSE OF POLICY MAKING DOES NOT MAKE A GOOD LEADER. AS SUCH, CLINTON WAS A FOLLOWER (OF PUBLIC OPINION), NOT A LEADER.

Polar Capsule   January 12th, 2008 8:41 am ET

Hillary didn't win Vermont, both Obama and Hillary got 9 delegates out of it, so.....the desperatation to disillusion oneself, remember it's not he populous is the electoral, so it's not the population, its the number of delegates. If a comeback is a tie...then the American Dream is a lie....
But Hillary has the best hands on the DC machinery to make some small changes. Obama would be a large step change. What do we want?

Too Little Too Late. I will not vote for Billary in the general election. I now think Obama has no chance of winning the primary. That's my opinion only.

I would sit out this election before I vote for Billary. I hope John Edwards can win.
I am going to send a donation to John Edwards' campaign tonight. I am urging my friends and relatives to send small donations to John Edwards' campaign as a protest to the race baiting Billary and Bubba.

America's first black president. HA HA. Now I know why Bubba could never find a minority for the Supreme Court, secretary of state, and other important positions.

Especially the Supreme Court. How about an Asian American, African American, or Latino – Latina? It all fits now.

My donation is going to Edwards. I hope others will follow me to help Edwards stay in the hunt.
__

I will send a small donation to the Edwards campaign in a few minutes. Thanks for the idea.

You know something; I always wondered why the first "Black President" never appointed a minority to the Supreme Court because he had three chances to do so. What happened, Bill, couldn't find any "fairy tale" minorities? Maybe they weren't rolling the dice or shucking and jiving the right way.

Boy, and to think I supported them. They can just forget about it now
-–
I agree. Will send small donation to Edwards campaign today.

BR   January 12th, 2008 8:06 am ET

And yet nobody claimed Obama's anti-abortion interruption was a plant........even though he not only didn't seem surprised, but had a seemingly well thought out statement once the protesters were escorted out.

As for the NH votes, get a life. There is not only no evidence that this happened, but as someone else said, Obama is shuffling the little easily swayed young voters. With the overcrowding, of course surplus paper ballots would be swayed toward him. Also, if paper votes are found in areas where he is favored over Clinton, that too would sway the paper vs. machine votes. I guess Kucinich has nothing else to waste his contributors' money on, so why not a recount in NH? It seems that even if Obama comes out the winner (highly unlikely), they will each still have nine and nine delegates.

Ronald   January 12th, 2008 8:06 am ET

Do we really want another four to eight years of philandering in the White House? Remember the 'good ole days'? That's the kind of experience this country can do without! Has nothing since 1980 taught us anything? Steer clear of the insincere.

If the prominent African American politicos turn on the Clintons in an unjust fashion, they will have committed political suicide. The race card in respect to the Clintons will not fly. End of story.
___

That's your take on it. My take is that John Edwards should get the nomination.
I wouldn't vote for Billary for Dog Catcher.

By the way, I don't think Obama has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the primary or the election. I do not believe in blindly voting Democratic just because I am a minority.

I LIKE MIKE HUCKABEE. I don't like warmonger McCain. I wouldn't vote for Giuliani the adulterer if his name was the only name on the ballot. I don't know about Romney even though I respect him more so after I heard how he felt about his father marching with Dr. King.

Sam IA   January 12th, 2008 6:48 am ET

It matters that america accepts this trash as news!!!!

Michele   January 12th, 2008 6:36 am ET

Does anybody remember the following item relating to Don Imus that I saw on the cnn site:

NEW YORK - New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is expected to tell Rutgers students what she thinks of the controversy surrounding Imus and the school's basketball team.

NBC News has confirmed that Clinton will be giving a speech at Rutgers on Monday.

A campaign spokesman said, "The Eagleton Center for American Women and Politics had a standing invitation for her and we felt that it would be an appropriate time to discuss the role of women in society given all that is happening."

My response is HA HA HA. WHAT A HYPOCRITE WHAT HILLARY AND BILLARY ARE DOING NOW IS MUCH WORSE. NOW SHE CAN GO BACK AND EXPLAIN THE REMARKS MADE BY HER, HER HUSBAND, BILL SHAHEEN, BOB KERRY, MARK PENN, HER ASSISTANT, ETC. ETC.

FORGET ABOUT MY VOTE, BILLARY. IT WON'T BE COMING.
HELP JOHN EDWARDS STAY IN THE RACE IF YOU CARE ABOUT WINNING IN NOVEMBER.

Irene   January 12th, 2008 6:35 am ET

I'm sick of the media and others saying that Hillary had "planted" the 2 guys in the audience to make those comments. Give me a break!!!! I guess they can't find anything else to find fault with!!! She will make a great President, She has my vote!!!!

CC   January 12th, 2008 5:07 am ET

It is ridiculous for anyone to think that Hillary can bring back the 90's.
Too much credit is given to the past President what about the Congress. What could Bill have accomplished without the Congress? Every era has its own challenges and what we need is someone who has a little foresight and owes Special interest groups very little favor.

John B   January 12th, 2008 4:50 am ET

Whatched "The Campaign Trail" on CNN again this week. Seems to be a more tabloid-like show that E!. The whole Hillary-tearing-up saga is getting old. The woman got emotional for a few seconds. So what? Since when is showing emotion a sign of weakness? On the contrary, I think. To even suggest that all that was fake, is so ludicrous its almost funny. And why do CNN insist on showing photographs of her with peculiar expressions either on air or on the website? This supposedly objective news provider seems to be using only sarcastic females and threatened males when it comes to comments about Hillary Clinton. The joke is on you though. She is taking all of this in her stride.

Bottom line is this. America does not have time to muck about with people who do not have the experience, policy and resolve in place to be the president. The person elected needs to be able to step behind the desk in the Oval Office tomorrow and start doing the job. Hillary has policy in place for every one of the major issues, Iraq, the economy, health care. And thats apart from the legion of policies she has already been able to push through congress, that already have a positive effect on the society. America does not have time for a person who still needs to learn the ropes of how do deal with foreign leaders. Only Hillary has the experience and policy in ready to deal with redefining America's role in the world.

DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF DISREGARDING EXPERIENCE. AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE TIME FOR IN-HOUSE TRAINING IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Vote for Hillary!!!!!

Charles in Salt Lake City, UT   January 12th, 2008 3:04 am ET

Cute story, but be careful not to miss the real point.

The real point being: If Hillary Clinton had lived up to the promise she made to us all back in the days when her husband was fooling around with zippers and cigars in the Oval Office and actually put together a workable, National Health Care system, this young man would never have been able to make such an outrageous proposal.

He'd be in a hospital somewhere, getting help.

And So Glad we are finnally going to have a woman president!!

Eric Coffman   January 12th, 2008 2:48 am ET

Oddly enough, a marriage proposal to Hillary might have shocked her due to it's REAL emotion. Something her personal life has lacked for a while now. The latest news seems to be all about Hillary's emotions, but they were a ruse. A very well planned one! In Nevada and elsewhere, Mr. Obama must face the non-streaming reality that Hillary will be only another dry eyed, halting voiced, well televised performance away from pulling another "drillary" (Dry Eyed Hillary) on the gullible electorate and the lemming-like media. As Bill oddly tries to squelch a man who is trying to sell Hope, Obama must find a way to rise above this Clinton cold-marriage power pact which seeks some sort of twisted recompense for Bill's dirty deeds of the past.

Danie Viger   January 12th, 2008 2:30 am ET

This women is going to be president. Simply for the fact that most of the country hasn't grown since the sixtys and unfortunately, there are still many many racists. Just being real! Obama is smart, articulate, but definitely not main stream presidential looking. Also the fact that he is firsy generation american and the first in his family to be born and raised here, just that fact is going to derail him! Go ahead and print this and save it to re-read on january 1,2009.

All the way to the White House.!!!

HIllary 08!!!!

veronica   January 12th, 2008 2:22 am ET

It was explained tonight that the numbers matched up to the polls correctly when broken down to specific areas in the state where each were doing well (rural -obama, cities-clinton for example) rather than the overall numbers of the "total" state.
So, let the count begin. There is nothing to hide.
No one would try this when there are paper trails of these machines (explained by a New Hampshire voting official tonight)
This is a tempest in a teapot!

Sounds like sour grapes. Obama 's own people were quoted as saying they missed the red flags when he asked his New Hampshire crowds who was undecided, and one-half to one-third were raising their hands.
Apparently, they decided at the last minute.

(Will you print this , or does it not go along with your bias for Obama!)

Jonathan   January 12th, 2008 2:21 am ET

Why does the press insist on giving coverage to such nonsense. The election should not be about color or gender but character and leadership. Lets get it right, cover character and leadership not stupidity and silliness.

Jamsnuget,

Regarding your fear of a "Muslim" as President:

1) Barack Obama is a lifelong Christian. The effort required to learn this is less than that needed to write your post.

2) In my hometown of Washington, D.C., yesterday, a young woman was arrested for alleged murdering her four young daughters after concluding, through her Christian religious beliefs, that they were possessed. Based on your own standard (see your concluding point about a Muslim man killing his daughters), Christians must be disqualified from the presidency.

Regardless of who wins in 2008, let us hope that he or she understands the vital importance of the separation of church and state.

Hillary '08!

Joe Boyer   January 12th, 2008 1:35 am ET

Clintons&Bush: similar tactics. Whatever axis of.... supported Bush, now supporting Clintons. In Democratic primaries the votes should be counted in scrutiny. If Clintons get the nomination, independents like me, tired of partisan politics and partisan revenge seeking, will vote for any Republican. Half of the Democrats may not show up or moderate Democrats may vote for a Republican. Obama is inspirational to independents, moderate Republicans and majority of the Democrats. This is Democratic party's last chance or may be the last chance for two-party dominated politics (I doubt so but wishful thinking). We need a leader who can work with the American people and their representatives in the congress. We have serious issues affecting all of us. Obama is an historical chance if he does not get drowned in Clintons' blood bath. Presidency is a very personal issue for Clintons which was obvious in 2004 elections. Did they want Democrats to win in 2004? No of course..They wanted to take over in 2009. Obama's candidacy and "fire" must be a big surprise for them..Otherwise (although they blame Obama for this), Clintons would get the free ride!! We have to thank Clintons though for their "touchy" comment. Presidencial politics is not a children's game!! It should be for the best interest of the American people, not for the personal ambitions! As we get more involved, we will see who is genuine, who is not!!

teshuus   January 12th, 2008 1:34 am ET

Amercian Voter   January 12th, 2008 1:28 am ET

I am all for creating history- with a qualified person with some experience, gravitas, and a track record of achievement to be our next President.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has earned my vote- Barack Hussein Obama has not with his 1/2 page resume that is mostly about being a community organizer. God- My local city council member qualifies more. And, with his smirk and attitude that he is just waiting for his coronation, he is scary.
I have never voted for a Republican all my life- I will if Barack is the Dem nominee- that is a risk we cannot allow in these perilous times.

I never seen so many stupid people to think the NH vote was rigged. These must be the same hanging chad people and the ones who destroyed the Super Dome. It would take a moron not to see that the media is trying to do a number on the Clintons. No way was Bill's remarik about a fairy tale a racist remark. Come on dummys get a life. Also you might want to ask Obama about his connection with Antoin "Tony" Rezko a subject of a Federal Corruption Investigation. Rezko donated $60,000 to Obama's campaign. What will he receive for that? Also he paved the way for Obama to save $300,000 on his home in Chicago. Why doestn't CNN ask hard questions about this? I know Fox network will not investigate. They worship the Republicans and wouldn't tell the truth when it bites them in the butt. Wake up America before it's too late. If you want to set America back two hundred years then Vote Edwards or Obama into office. (Please help us Lord) We need the Clintons back in office. Don't forget the balanced economy and the three trillion dollars left in escrow that Bush gave away when he came into office. Then he stupiedly declared war on Iraq at tremendous debt to the United States. Lord help us and put Hillary into office.

DR IAN WOODS   January 12th, 2008 1:21 am ET

is absolutely insane for you to say the NH election was rigged.i disagree with you 100%.it was over confidence that cost Obama NH election.i am no a fan of Hillary but hse really worked hard for the NH victory so please stop this rigging stuff ok.i am particularly happy that Obama lost the NH election so he will be adequatley prepared and know that i is not over unill it is over like in soccer.

One thing for sure is that Americans need change and YES WE CAN.Yes we can make this change Happen and i call on all able body Americans to join hand wih Hope In THIS CHANGE WE ALL BELIVE IN

Likely reason is simple: Different demographics in areas that use machines vs. areas that use paper. Much more likely than a rigged count.

Tim Calhoun '08, Moreno Valley, CA   January 12th, 2008 1:15 am ET

To the poster named Hillary!: your argument about a Hillary Clinton presidency changing the way we think about gender and inspiring young women could just as easily be applied to Obama and blacks. Having said that, gender or race is an ASININE factor to consider when voting for a candidate. Vote the person, not the race or gender.

Derek: since when is Hillary a minority? The majority of the U.S. population is female.

And finally, to all those who say they vote for "experience": if you really believed that, you would have supported Joe Biden or Bill Richardson, who trump Hillary on experience by far. Even Obama has more years as an elected official than Hillary does.

USALover   January 12th, 2008 1:15 am ET

Surprised that there is this much hatred among Americans for their own people. If you hate each other so much, then there is really nothing that the rest of the world has to fear about the "strongest country" on the planet (or in history as John McCain characterizes the USA).

The fact is that you have great patriots vying to serve your country. What possible offense could they have commited to elicit the venomous, hate-filled comments from members of this forum? It is really interesting.

Let us look at the candidates. Each has in his or her pen way served this country. Hillary has been fortunate to have her service noticed because she came on the scene when there were very few women doing the things she was doing. But her record is no more impressive than Elizabeth Dole's. Besides, for the past 30+ years, her husband through whom she got substantial name recognition, has been in the public eye. If anyone is eager to evaluate her "experience" do not look at the derivative activities (those things she did because she was the First" lady of the US or Arkansas) but what she's done in her 8 years in the Senate.

Obama, to many is a political neophyte. Perhaps so. But he's come of age when people of his race who are like him are in abundance. Had he come along in the 60s and 70s (when there was very little competition) then we'd be talking about his experience as we are of Hillary's. The age difference matters. And it has to be recognized.

Some have said Obama is all about poetry. But please tell me if the history of our great United States has not been shaped by great words. Take the US Constitution – We the People. Take Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Take John F. Kennedy's Inaugural address. Take Martin Luther King. Why was Reagan great? Why do we go to Church and why do we choose one Rabbi or Priest over the other? Why did Bill Clinton give 3-hour long speeches? Because words matter and how the words are said can drive the history and influence the destiny of nations. We should therefore not under-estimate the power of words said by one who sincerely believes in what he/she is saying to heal the wounds of the United States and of the word.

Good luck but please cut down on the hate angle.

Tom Davie   January 12th, 2008 1:06 am ET

You fail to mentioin that the hand ballots were not even close to the amount of computer votes.

You put up numbers that were something like this earlier

91k for clinton on machine

81k for obama

20k for clinton on paper

23k for obama

Its not like 50% of the vote was on paper.

Seems to me that the difference on paper was Obama CRAMMED the voting stations full of folks who had never voted before AKA young people .

Older folks tend to vote earlier, and young people vote later. The polling stations were overwhelmed and therefore they needed paper ballots.

in the end. It seems like Clinton THUMPED Obama with registered mainsteam Democrats, and then Obama crammed the polling stations full of young people.

Yknow, KIND OF LIKE HE DID IN IOWA ?

The insane thing about all of these conspiracy theorists is that they are just trying to put a spin on something to give them some sort of edge in the other states. Not that I blame them....almost all of the bs you read in these comments(on all political stories) are people spinning with their own political agenda(That includes the pro Obama, Clinton, Romney, McCain and pretty much everybody else groups). For the record I am in independant who is still undecided. I plan to vote on 2 things.....the person who I feel agrees with me on the most(and most important) issues, and who I feel is lying the least. I hope all of you are planning on looking at the issues more than what the news media and slanted comments that appear on every political article out there. God Bless America!

How can Hillary be a bad role model for children:

1. When she did not do drugs while she was in Wellesly college and at Yale

2. Has been elected twice as a senator from NY, which was not her home state, winning counties where conservatives ued to win

3. Is now contesting the primary to be the first president of the largest democracy in the world, and

3. In the process wining all the deabtes against male opponents (some of whom are clearly ganging up on her) with knowledge, intellect, sense of humour , compassion and command of the issues?

Wilhemina   January 11th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

The "Times Newspaper" in London, England has an article on Hillary's thinking, it refers to her statement about the Civil Rights Act only happening because a President LBJ was able to push it through to pass; therefore, with Hillary's thinking Nelson Mandela wouldn't have gotten anywhere without FW de Klerk, India owes its' independence to Ernest Bevin, not Ghandi, and of course AMERICA is free today thanks largely to the politically experienced Lord Shelborne, rather than dreamers like George Washington and his friends. The reply to this article was that it is better to have the "dreamer" than someone who goes along with the status quo!

Maris   January 11th, 2008 11:52 pm ET

Conspiracy theorist in the Obama camp need to stop worrying about superficial things like "implanted" people in her audience and her expressions. Focus on your candidate and if he has the capacity to deliver on his message. There are more important things to worry about in this world, and electing a qualified president should be on the top of your list. This is just media propaganda, and Kucinich is looking for free media coverage...he's broke. Obama folk's need to stop being sore losers. Get used to it, because he is destined to lose more and more once his repetitive, vacant, teleprompted message, dies out. GO HILLARY!!! Smart, beautiful, and QUALIFIED for the job.

This outburst, combined with the "Iron My Shirt" fellows outburst, combined with the emotional outburst weren't happening when she was the clear front runner. For now, Obama is running his campaign with more integrity. You dont see people hecking his race at his shows(yet). You dont you timely see burning crosses, men in white sheets or skinheads either. Obama will inevitably reach the White House even if it doesnt happen in this election. He demeanor, candor, and style transcends nearly every social level. He can sit down and discuss his agenda with Ludacris, and still handle himself with the upmost eloquence in the highest circles of society. Amazing!

"Likeability" and superior "oratory skills" are good attributes to have, more so for a church preacher than for a war-time President.

Which of the two Democratic contenders would be stronger in figthing the Islamic extremists?

Which of the two conteders is more likely to balance the budget and strengthen the econmoy?

robbie   January 11th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

I find it amazing how the supporters of Obama are all reffered to in derogatory terms (fools, idiots, imbeciles, etc) Americans havent grown up and still believe that Obama belongs in the field doing manual labour. You maybe the wealthiest nation but trust me, you don't seem particularly enlightened...Get an actor?..you already did!..his name was Reagan. Truth is, after Bush, everyone is an improvement, but when will Americans realize that if you don't lead the change that the rest of the world is demanding, the decadence implanted in your society will continue to grow.

Supporting someone because they show emotion (cries) or makes witty remarks to make us laugh, or happens to be female, is, with respect, decadence!

All this shows just what a terminal case of sour grapes y'all have.

But now it seems the media are bending over backwards to "soften" all they can about Sen. Clinton.

jamsnugent   January 11th, 2008 10:50 pm ET

"Problem with a black president", surely not I. I think that several black leaders might have made a good president. One I can think of -right of hand- would have been Barbara Jordan, a U.S. House Representative back in the late 1970's and she is a woman. Another might have been Martin Luther King. Both great speakers and highly motivated to the proclamation that "all men are created equal." These individuals were definitely born out of due time. So I have no problem with a black president nor a female president providing that whomever it might be has a good foundation.

I do; however, have a problem with Americans putting into the highest office of "our" land a Muslim who will take the oath of presidency on the Koran. A nation founded, by our fathers, on which Christian principles were the pillars of strength. Not so anymore! We have developed a hasty attitude in turning aside our heritage, giving our promises which we inherited, to any and all that come here or have lived here regardless of race, creed or religion.

We fail to recognize that there are those here among us that would rather fly other colors over and above the very flag which our fathers bleed upon the ground to protect. There are religions here, as well, that do not support the foundations of the freedoms forwarded each of us, such as the Constitution of the United States.

Equal rights for women is just such an issue with those of the Muslim faith. Their religion does not tolerate such practices. Look at the middle east, a vastly Muslim world. Would you give up all you have here and take up residence in Saudi Arabia. Equal rights of those of a different religion, such as Christianity, the Muslim faith does not tolerate; furthermore would rather all Christians convert or die! History does not lie, in that what it truly reveals is the fact that Christianity and democracy cannot co-exist in the mind of the Muslim. Read up on your history, study the teachings of the Koran but be very careful in what you vote to accept the office of the president.

Recently, reported on CNN, a Muslim father shot and killed his two teenage daughters because they were too American. Many stories, of this kind, taking place right here in America, the land of the free.

Think, Think real hard.

The deficit. NO canidate is talking about it.. 9 trillion, 284, billion a year to service. It is evident we all want to cut taxes, but WHO pays for this mess that was created by Mr. Bush.

What about Haliburtion,. Mr. Cheney is very quiet.

MORE PROFIT IN WAR THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE RESINATING IN THE GDP OR THE MIDDLE CLASS ECONOMY?

Wake up Bush supporters. You are drowning with the rest of us.. U just don't realize the brand name on the noose.

Obama must be kicking himself for going for the 'youth' vote and HATE vote.

People for obama are emotionally 15 years old. They HATE EVERYTHING in the 'establishment' and think all their HEADS SHOULD BE CHOPPED OFF.

They dont care how much experience Obama has, since he has a lot more than his followers do. So he looks like a GENUIS to them.

They dont care that he has no way to bring republicans together because of the fact once the election is over, he has to BATTLE hardend and experienced politicians , many who are republican and have been in washington 20 years.

According to the rhetoric, he needs to what? Impeach every senator so he can get them to do what he wants?

All I know is that reading all these comments everyday one thing is clear.

Omaba is a CONDUIT for malcontent radicals, and other irresponsible immature people to WHINE about what GEORGE BUSH has done to the united states.

Its ok to be pissed off about Bush, but NONE of it had anything to do with Hillary Clinton.

"For me it's Obama all the way. Obama doesn't have the trail of lies and scandals"
--–

No, Obama's trail of lies and scandals just hasn't come out yet. There is not one person in this race, Republican or Democrat that doesn't have skeletons in their closet. Every politician does and if you think Obama is any different you are extremely naive.

Which candidate cut a hole in the America flag while illegal aliens cross our border in the background?

Which candidate suggest Hillary was gay on-camera?

Which candidate wears an eye-patch like a pirate?

And, did you know there are THREE women in Arizona's Primary ballot? Not just Hillary

http://projectwhitehouse.wordpress.com/

Arizona has produced a slew of candidates for the highest office in the nation. That's right, more candidates to choose from. While the country and its political pundits are focused on tiny East Coast states, some ten Republicans and fifteen new Democratic candidates will appear in the Arizona Primary ballot this February. An effort sponsored by The Tucson Weekly, an Arizona alternative newspaper, has opened the gates for a stable of dark-horse candidates.

As with all politics the sparks are already flying. Candidate Sean "CF" Murphy responds to a political ad filed by Democratic candidate Doctress Neutopia in which she desecrates the American flag by cutting a hole in it. Follow the antics of America's grass-roots candidates by tuning in to the campaigns blog.

If the prominent African American politicos turn on the Clintons in an unjust fashion, they will have committed political suicide. The race card in respect to the Clintons will not fly. End of story.

Yes, Yes, Yes – Thank you very much for your ability to shape the election to racisim and sexisim. Thank you.

The Media is great – you know everything, You scene everything annnnnd you have done everything. Hillery is polorizing 'so say you all' and you can proove it by interveiwing people that swear such. Get Real!

Obama can do no wrong – of course you're pushing his winning. Obama is the real God. Keep giving him a free ride. You don't love your County you love the profits your books and ratings recieve.

mike kaplan   January 11th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

You people suggesting fraud are just hilariously STUPID.

If you're wondering why Hillary won, maybe you idiots should look in a mirror- apparently, large numbers of women are getting really angry at the ridiculous Hillary hatred displayed by ignorant backwards morons, and responded by coming out in large numbers to vote for her.

All the polls that had Obama in the lead also said that up to 40% of the voters were still undecided right up until the last minute- that's the explanation for how the polls could have been wrong. But seriously, you Hillary haters may end up getting her elected, by creating a backlash of sympathy for her. I like Hillary and I like Obama too, but when I read the ignorant nonsense you human trash are spouting, it makes me want her to win, just to see you people humiliated.

Keep up the good work, morons.

I got a reason for you to shut up. You have no clue about the results of the NH election so take your fantasyland vote counts and go back to Myspace where you belong. But I guess we should take your word for it and those must be the correct vote totals because the election officials would give a nimrod like you the tallies. What a goon!! Hilary won NH, get over it !! It's time we stop these pre-polls and just let the American people vote without the media constantly trying to decide for us before we vote!!

Bill Blake   January 11th, 2008 10:25 pm ET

Finally, a little light is been shown on the hidden racist attitudes of the Clintons: They make references to Obama in a manner that reveals their dep seated feelings about Blacks. Those are the feelings that dictated Bill Clinton's refusal to appoint Blacks to senior positions in his Cabinet even though he had 95% of the Black vote. He didn't fool me, but many Blacks didn't realize the slight: they claimed that he was the first Black president! I guess those who thought so will now recognize the dishonest man he has always been. He and his wife just don't think much of Blacks!

Mata   January 11th, 2008 10:13 pm ET

C'mon How is this ever a story. The fact that we focus more on somebody shouting Marry Me than the actually issues is why we are in this situation in the first place, Because everyone votes for a democrat or republican every single time just cause they were raised that way. When was the last time we focused on the issues. In one of the Debates on CNN a women asked Hillary if she liked gold or diamonds better. Thats a great question cause what she likes better will make up peoples minds on who is the best person to lead the country. If our political system continous this way then we are headed to the craperer as a country and as mankind. So to everyone let's not vote for people cause they are cool vote because they have a plan to change the country and have some intregrity and none of the canidates in this election have any, and the one who comes close is Mcain. If bloomberg comes as independet then he should be the president because he has the best record when it comes to the economy.

Craig, Carrollton, TX   January 11th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

James   January 11th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

The fact that she the ONLY WOMAN running for presidency is ENOUGH for me to vote for her. But I am glad I have better reasons to vote for her. She has the BRAIN and the SMARTS accompanied by years to EXPERIENCE in the political arena. She examplifies BEAUTY with BRAIN. Vote for her.

Ben E.   January 11th, 2008 10:09 pm ET

GO Hillary!

It is funny. A couple of days ago, CNN put up an article on the front page for over 24 hours that some random Clinton supporter booed Obama. Then some one makes an outrageous remark such as "Iron my shirt" and it seems that it got buried in this article. Nice CNN, way to show equality in reporting non-biased headlines.

The only thing thats bothers me is the interview Obama had on the Ophra show, he wants to send troops to Africa to protect the woman and children, thats sounds like another war ! I'd like an answer from Obama. Sure every Country needs help, Why us ( usa ) I know his father is from Africa !

There was once a women not much unlike Hilary who was talking to Winston Churchill. They quite disagreed on many things, and at one point in the debate, she burst out, "If you were my husband, I would poison your coffee!," to which Churchill responded without skipping a beat, "Ma'am, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."

I feel the same as Churchill :)

redbloodedtruth   January 11th, 2008 10:04 pm ET

Ya know, it is true. About 50% of our children are raised by a single parent, and truth again is this parent is usually a woman, BUT NOT ALWAYS. She may have left school to birth the most precious face she has ever seen. Low pay is now a double edge dagger because shes a single-woman-mom. Its not just in Harlem, hungry little runny nose children (boys & girls) are in our reservations and in every county, city & state. They come in every color, size and need imaginable. THIS IS THE REAL ISSUE. THERE FUTURE DEPENDS SOLEY ON OUR JOINT DECISIONS. Theres not a lot of time my friend. Our earth is ill, our oil addiction overwhelming and your child says, "Mommy, can I.... will you....?". And mommy will... BUST HELL WIDE OPEN!! Children ALL OVER AMERICA have medical care and annual vaccines with no threat to the parent of bankruptcy due to a program created many years ago by someone who is a mother too.....ya know?

Jose   January 11th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

And this is somehow news because? Come on news media, let's get a little more real or at least give the appearance that you're reporting news and not propaganda for the Clinton Machine!

Eva   January 11th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

I'm stunned by the venomous statements from women, who should know better. From men who feel threatened, I expect no better.

Positions of power are a challenge for all women, especially when in a man's arena. No strong, capable woman escapes being demonized when she competes with a man. Men who are threatened by strong women who pose a challenge have historically resorted to putting that woman's reputation and character into question. It happens in corporations, in rape cases, and in politics.

Notice how the other characters are not attacked for their views, positions, gender or race. Have you heard anyone, including the media, refer to Obama as a black man who has publicly stated that his children are his wife's domain and he 'helps when he can.' Have you heard any Southern white men comments about Edwards, who has chosen to stroke his ego instead of helping his wife heal from cancer? What about concerns about the fact that Huckabee, a minister, as president of a country that separates church and statei? Guiliana whose morality I would question – while mayor of NYC, he publicly flaunted his mistress (now his wife) and even slept with her in Gracie Mansion – while his wife and children still lived there? I can go in, but I am sure you get the picture. So, why thenare most attacks on Hillary about her gender and marriage. I've even seen cruel comments about her daughter – as mothers, this has to enrage you. It certainly does me.

Women, if she's not your candidate of choice, do us all a favor – stop helping men do what they have always done, and certainly don't need your help doing. Who knows, the next woman in the hot seat might just be you. And then you'll know how horribly unfair and hurtful it is.

Let's apply the same standards to all candidates and evaluate them all using the same criteria.

Esther   January 11th, 2008 10:00 pm ET

Carole   January 11th, 2008 9:49 pm ET

@ Henrietta Jones.....You must be terribly uninformed. What on earth makes you think WE are voting for Hillary because she is a woman? I think WE are voting for Hillary because she is much more qualified and experienced to run this country than Obama is. He talks a good talk BUT he doesn't come close to having the experience to be President. Hillary has the experience to be President in this extremely volatile time in our country. It has nothing to do with him being biracial. It has everything to do with inexperience.

HILLARY 2008, 2012

Obama maybe 2016....This die hard Democrat will have to see what Obama does in the next few years.

HILLARY PRESIDENT 2008.....NOT BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN.....BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN WITH THE EXPERIENCE TO BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!

While I'm fascinated that you show your support, I must say that only about 5 out of 122 comments as I post this actually said something about the article we're commenting on.

I must say though, that it's good to see humanity in general, and Americans in particular, still have a sense of humor.'

another Hillary " press friendly " moment. Why doesnt someone ask her about her comment that Obama has not done his "spade" work?
If I republican said this, they would be asked to leave the race. c'mon people quit being stupid

Jesse Vasquez   January 11th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Praphrasing the words from a Simon and Garfunkle song, " Hilary, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you "; you will accomplish your mission, to bring about a better future for all Americans and the world; it's hard to read the venom that is spewed on the comments boards for the various candidates of either party; whatever happened to civil discourse? paraphrasing Voltaire, " I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it "; Go Hilary!

Sandra   January 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Why does everyone feel people are picking on Hillary? I hope some of the world leaders out there don't say anything mean to her or she may "cry". It's interesting that after she got a little teary for a minute she started to attack Obama again. Doesn't sound like she was too upset, just play acting. Of course if things get too bad in the White House she can always get her husband to fight her battles. If she wants to be Commander in Chief of the U.S. she'd better be able to take as much as she gives. She has spent weeks making nasty comments about her opponents. She needs to either quit making snide remarks about everyone else or take what is thrown ar her. There are millions of people in this country, why do we have to have only Bush and Clinton running the W.H. I would write-in Mickey Mouse before I would vote for her.

Shannon   January 11th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

There have been four weird events that I can think of:

1. The psycho with the bomb.
2. The psycho with the knife
3. The nut shouting 'iron my shirt'
4. The nut proposing marriage.

The oddity of these events probably has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman. It's probably more about the fact that she is a Clinton. This circus will follow them around as long as they are in the public eye. I'm an Obama supporter and I highly doubt that there was vote tampering in NH. I'm also black and I don't think that a large number of people would claim to pollsters that they were supporting Obama only to vote for Hilary due to race. I'm sure that they could have used any one of her assertions, such as lack of experience. I've heard blacks give that as a reason they are supporting Clinton. I think a more likely reason is how they poll women of multi-voter families. If someone called my house asking to know how my wife and I would vote, we would probably say they're we're collectively supporting Obama (especially if we're standing right by each other). To be honest though, even though my wife tells me she's voting for Obama, I'm not sure she won't pull that curtain and vote for Hilary. She may just be avoiding a lenghty discussion. If anyone needs to know what's going on with women voters these days, one just needs to watch a few episodes of Survivor. I feel that an Obama presidency will do more for gender equality than a Clinton presidency. As a man, I would feel that she is simply riding the coat tail of her husband. It's been done before, ala widow's taking over the office of deceased congressmen or govenors. I also feel that she comes from a previledged background. An Obama presidency levels the playing field for everyone; rich or poor, black or white, naturalized immigrant or citizen by birth. I really hope the circus ends soon. I would hate to hate to listen to conservative pundits bash the Clinton's for another four years. This nation is split 50/50. If we're going to have a cage fight, I would rather see Laura Bush win the republican nomination. She is certainly as bright as Fred Thompson. I'm only joking. I really hope some can bring some common sense to the office and unite us all. I don't want to hear of anyone wanting to take on the republicans.

Dear "George W."

You wrote[sic]"January 11, 2008 5:35 pm ET

She is so fake..Im suprised she didnt start crying. Go home to Bill and leave the country alone. Only a mentaly depressed idiot would vote for you."[/sic]

At lifewriter.writing.com you'll find a mentall depressed person. You'll also find one who isn't an idiot, who doesn't support Hillary, nor any other politician for that matter.

I do not know why you felt the need to bring stigmas into this thread, but it's attitudes like yours which make the world harder for people to live in. Only when "mentally depressed idiots" as you call them, or as I prefer to refer to them, simply mentally ill people due to any number of chemical conditions beyond their control, speak up, such as myself, and defend against words and attitudes like yours, maybe only then will perfect people, perhaps such as yourself? begin to be more understanding and compassionate.

You're wrong. I'm not for Hillary because she is neither of the above, and she holds none of the values I look for in a good and worthy human. I'm a clinically depressed person with bipolar disorder, and I would never vote for Hillary Clinton. Know of what you speak before you spew lest you look like the idiot.

Aileen Murphy   January 11th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

Talk about being dividers rather than uniters. It is not Hillary that is to be blamed. It is all the hate mongers who write on these blogs. Nothing can be said about Hillary that the hateful people do not spin to insult and denigrate her, no matter what the article is about. Anything at all and Hillary is: plastic, a liar, phony, always has plants, always has a hand in rigging vote counts, doesn't connect with people, is a man hater, is power hungry, does not care about the country, is riding on Bills coat tails, does not have a thought of her own, is part of a Monarchy or Dynasty, only listens to lobbyists, etc., etc., etc.

Why all this hate? It is all so false that you are showing how totally ignorant you are. You are so spaced out, you cannot even keep to the post at hand. Why all the rigging comments on this thread?

Do not forget that during the Clinton administration, all of the hate mongers could think of nothing better to do than to give Ken Starr more false fodder to continue one investigation after another. All the wasted time and taxpayers money was a crime perpetrated by sheer hate. After all was said and done, nothing criminal was ever found. Will the hate mongers among us ever learn? Just think about all the additional good the Clinton administration could have completed if so much of its time was not wasted on these hateful, made up allegations and investigations.

Your cynicism is so overwhelming, it is a wonder how you can look within yourselves and not see the dividing that you are doing, for no good reason. Think before you speak or write. Does Hillary deserve the horrible allegations that you throw into her path, or are you just thoughtless, mindless, ignorant individuals who have fun jumping on the band wagon because you probably cannot even understand the issues that Hillary brings up and/or her responses to the questions posed to her. She is profoundly intelligent and because you either can't understand her positions or will not use your God given brains to analyze what she is saying, you simply post irrelevant, ignorant, non-substantiating remarks because of your unfounded hate.

Grow up and involve yourself in the adult world. If you have proof of your hateful remarks, by all means, post them with your concrete examples. Otherwise keep quite and go cry in the corner because no one wants to hear what you have to say.

You will never win with that BS approach! If Gulianie doesn't get prostate cancer you never win NY Senate. You got lucky, it won't happen twice. Go Obama!

Sam I Am   January 11th, 2008 9:18 pm ET

Many of these negataive comments are cruel and unproven.

Hillalry has paid her dues for taking on 'the establishment' during her attempt at providing health care for all, an issue that is on the front burner today. Her approach is more realistic than Obama's whose rhetoric talks about hope and cumbay ya.

Democrats and Republicans hold honest differences of opinions on the issues and will not hold hands together on stem cells, gay rights, health care, etc and sing we will overcome. Ironically, bringing people together requires compromises and Obama glosses over that while attacking Hillary for seeking progress through compromise.

I will vote for experience and substance . . . go Hillary!

IowaJoy   January 11th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

I'm so proud of her. Simply by running, she is putting herself out there for any insult and accusation that anyone–anyone–seems to feel is his or her right to throw her way. She's exposing hypocrisies, inequities and injustices that have gone ignored for decades. Daily the scabs are ripped from our countries wounds and, as a result, infections are exposed for what they are. Idiocy.

It's easy to be an Obama supporter. People are afraid to criticize or critique him. Therefore, an Obama supporter can simply share the rhetoric of the moment.

Clinton supporters–those who believe in what she can do for the country–feel a portion of the pain she must feel when being accused of unlawfulness, deceit and other negative traits some feel is their right to spew.

As painful as it is....I'm glad her candidacy is showing what has been our country's dirty secret: We who live with the benefit of a democratic society don't appreciate those who spend their lives defending our right for them to spew the hatred.

I'm behind you every painful step of the way, Hillary!

Only you can help expose this brand of anti-democratic, anti-feminist
hate. Only you can show how it's possible to be president of all the people. You are proving you have what it takes every single day.

I admire you greatly. I'll be proud to have you as our President.

Derek, Walpole NH   January 11th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

It seems a lot of people have forgotten that Hillary is in fact just as big a minority in this race as Obama...she deserves some credit...no one has mentioned, not her or news media how she is the first woman to ever win a state's presidential primary. Now if only Wolfe would stop saying "the emmy award winning..." "best news team on television..." maybe we could start focusing on policy instead of easy-listening words like "hope" and "change."

I'm shocked by the political maturity of some american "voters".

1. Some wants to elect a woman because there has not been a woman president yet. However, the speaker of the House is a woman. There are more woman senators than black or half-black senator. By this reasoning, we should all elect a non-white candidate?

2. Some people seems to think that experience is the most important and that's why we should elect HRC. So why did Biden, Dodd and Richardson do so poorly? Moreover, experience won't help make changes if you cannot work with people or inspire them to work with you.. More gridlock in Washington is the worse thing that can happen to this country in its current state.

3. USA claim to want to spread democracy around the world. 4 years Bush Sr, 8 years Clinton, 8 years Bush , and now an additional 4-8 years of Clinton. I didn't know there was any royalty in this country. So much for democracy.

4. Some people seems to be against a recount of votes in NH. What are you afraid of? That your voting rights have not been respected or that the person who got the most votes is not the person you chose? Again, this country shows poor example of democracy!

My guess here is simple: people REALLY believe that Hillary will be the ONLY candidate to resolve the forthcoimg econonic disaster!!!!! The skewed logic is also as follows: Only the Clintons have the magic touch for economic recovery in this land; Bill Clinto did it; therefore, the atmosphere is STILL there for Hillary to replicate what Bill did!!!! This really goes to show how the basic lay person is AFRAID of change, risk-taking, and so on. Bill Clinton was able to get "some of these things done" BECAUSE HE WAS THE NEW KID THAT PROMISED AND DELIVERED THE CHANGE!!! Those days are now long gone, given the very interesting "histories" of both of these people. Like BILL, Obama will be a fresh face to the system and will be in better position of working across the current "rigid" system. This is REALITY, FACT, etc. and the ONLY solution to making away with another 8 years of a dynasty. Let us cool down, take deep breaths, and get Obama to the White House; the world is watching us get suicidal by bringing back another dynasty!!!

No. its not about whether you are a man or a woman. Its about the kinds of people you attract. The people who go to Obama rallies don't have time for things like this.

anitopi,
read the above stuff. plus I only hear people say to Obama ' I love you' and he has his famous line ' I love you back'

Maybe it's something about the candidates and not the people who say these things or maybe its both. do you think you can look at it this way?

What do you think about the 'Obama girl' video that everyone got to see? wasn't that annoying or you are just overly sensitive to things said to Hillary?

You are so right.They, the Clinton Machine will do anything to get back in the WH. I think there might be some things they forgot to steal from us. on their last exit. Shrillary is a disgrace to women everywhere. She and Bill need to slime back into that hole they oozed out of and forever go away! How dare they insult and honest hard working and loyal man like Barack Obama. He may be young and somewhat blinded to their brutal tactics but he is what this country needs. I don't want any more of this awful dirt the Clinton machine dish out but how do we stop it? They only know how to smear, lie, and utterly destroy anyone who gets in their way. I feel so badly for Barack and his family. They could never have imagined how bad it could get and they have only just begun. I plead with you American people...throw her out before it gets worse. I
pray we do not need Bloomberg to stop her.

Barack Obama is a very promising young politician. He's all promise...

I may not be voting for Hillary Clinton but at least she has become more specific - and therefore presumably more knowledgeable - about most topics that concern us.

I'd rather see one major problem of the country solved in one presidential term than a host of rhetoric and promises left unfulfilled. Remember that the Pied Piper also united all the rats in town - and led them to drown in the river.

I think racism is alive in the election, it's just the sexism is more overt usually. However, I completely agree. The comment may have been kinder, but we still have things like this shouted at her. "Baby"? I doubt some random citizen/voter would address the male candidates as "baby." Even if you don't like her/don't want her to win, show some respect, people.

It is no wonder America is going down the tubes look at all the illiterate Idiots who have written here. There are 1 in 6 actual posts here that actually make sense and do not have every other word misspelled. Most of our kids graduate with less ability to read and write than most 1st Graders in the 50's and 60's.

Oh and By The Way folks, it doesn't matter who you vote for if the Supreme Court doesn't like the election they will appoint another Shrub. Anyone in America who thinks we have a Democracy hasn't been paying attention. Who knows if Hillary will win or not , to keep ranting about who is best for the job will not be determined by the American people anyway.

And Hillary has a great sense of humor she has been married to Bill for years.

Come on folks. Only the republicans can rig polls like in Florida. I doubt Hillary
can do that. Even before her win Hillary's people were talking of a possible defeat.
I doubt that they were making it up. ( the real prospect of her losing )

In future debates they should ask these questions:

What would you do as a President in catching Osama and his number 2 man that
Bush hasn't been able to coming to end of his second and final term ?
How would you shape your foreign policy ?
Precisely what would you do to reverse the nation's trillion dollar debt while simultaneously not increasing taxes ?
And what is the one issue dear to you that you would fulfill in your Presidency ?
Be precise.

And, fellow americans, I'm for progress and the flag- long may it fly.

Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don't-

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-

VP, your argument would be credible IF THERE WERE EXACTLY 100 PEOPLE WHO VOTED! It wasn't a percentage, it was a total. And I haven't seen one hand count that favored Clinton. Anyway, as an Obama supporter, I'll take the narrow 2-point loss and move on knowing that just a week earlier it was Hillary who held a 12-point lead in New Hampshire. The loss was likely due to independents think Obama had it in the bag and that their vote meant more for McCain than Obama. The huge polling for Obama actually hurt him. But if women are so easily swayed by a teary-eyed Clinton who was responding to a question about how she can get up in the morning and get her hair looking nice – not about why does she suffer so much for the American people – then I'm at a loss to explain how Obama can win that segment. If women are going to vote for someone who actually has less legislative experience than Obama, then it's a sad commentary on the state of civics in this country. People just aren't paying attention to the issues and the plans. Here's Obama's Blueprint For Change. It's 64 pages long. Pretty substantive. I wish Clinton would come out with something even remotely like it so I could compare/contrast. But like her ripping off Edwards' health care plan, her blueprint would probably be a carbon-copy of Obama's.

Taxes will go up no matter who will be in the future white house. We need to bail out our financial situation for the people. Let's cut the war spending and increase in house spending.

Pam S.C. - Obama is not helping you out, because he has no plan. He never helps the middle class in his Illinois disctrict. You are taken by his sermons and his rhetoric that don't say anything. His is full of empty promissies and dream and hope but do nothing nor any plan to go about change.

Ben   January 11th, 2008 8:14 pm ET

I watched Hillary in Los Angeles, and I was impressed. She has a quick wit and definately a very inteligent person.
If she were running for dictator, I would vote for her in a flash,because I agree with every thing she said. Unfortunately, the president of the U.S. is only a small part of the government. They have the power to reject a bill presented to them by congress, or sign it into law. This is a great power, but before the president can do this, the preposed legislation has to pass through a myriad of self serving politicians who are mostly servants of the large corperations that put them in office in the first place.
I watched the whole presentation,and I only have one complaint,and it is not against her. the mayor of Los Angeles acted as if he were running for office,
He spoke too long,and when he said Hillary was the greatest first lady in the history of the United States,I winced(and perhapsHillary did too). She was a fine first lady,but I don'tt think she overshadowed Elenore Roosevelt.
If Barack Obama does not win the nomination,I will vote for her

Frances in Honolulu   January 11th, 2008 8:06 pm ET

This past week, I reflected on the ways that intense public exposure affects the candidates' behavior, and I found it striking to see the mean side of both Hillary and Bill Clinton. Their desire for a return to power seems so all-consuming, they simply don't understand the higher calling that Obama is urging – that we all get beyond our petty jealousies and competition for control, roll up our sleeves, and work together on solutions. I saw both Clintons actually sneering, either through facial expressions or in how they delivered their criticisms of the more likeable Obama. Obviously, they are jealous of his charisma, something Mrs. Clinton is sorely lacking in.

anitopi   January 11th, 2008 8:05 pm ET

Finally some kindness. Hillary has responded with intelligence, patience, humor and grace to difficult questions, hurtful questions and distracting heckling. All JUST because she is female and running for president. How would Obama feel or respond if the same disrespect, hateful language or racial slurs were constantly and continually hurled at him? These candidates are the cream of the crop- let's show them all respect for their commitment and conviction. I say Hillary has already demonstrated she has what it takes- every day on the campaign trail.

As the economy gets worse, your HYPE OF CHANGE stance is going to FAIL.

People will stop talking UTOPIA and START talking about REALITY.

Its fun and all to HYPE Obama into the second coming of JFK (with much laughter) but MOST americans are going to CARE if he can do the job and FIX THE ECONOMY and RUN THE COUNTRY .

The worse the economy gets, the WORSE it gets for Obama and the Republicans.

All americans will remember is how Bill Clinton inherited a DISASTER economy from Bush Sr, and turned it around into a surpluss and good economy.

A TERRIBLE economy is the best thing that could have happened to Hillary Clintons campaign.

aziz   January 11th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

After George Bush Senior, we had Bill Clinton for 8 years, followed by another Bush for 8 years. Now another Clinton wants to follow suit for another 8 years. Are you Americans having a Dynasty or Monarch by disguise?

Hillary!   January 11th, 2008 8:03 pm ET

TO PETER: If Hillary doesn't get elected president, it will be a long, long, long, time before you or your daughter gets to see a woman president. No one, I don't care who gets elected is going to turn this country around quickly. Many people say we will just be going backwards. Clinton administration this and that. But Clinton's adminisration is no comparison to the Bushes' administration. None whatsoever. We have the opportunity right before us to elect a woman and by not doing so we women are going backwards.

Next time you and other parents reading this tell your children..."oh, you can be anything you want to be when you grow up." be sure to add "except President of the United States! I know I'm glad I taught my daughter she could be whatever she wanted to be. She was 8 years old when I started taking her to presidential rallys, volunteer and such. She studied hard in college, and has meet lots of influential people and has had wonderful experiences along the way. But it was President Clinton who inspired her to study politics. She was only 11 years old when she knew what she wanted to do, She's now 28.

You and all the others have the power to change things. Hillary's had personal and political setbacks just like any other politician has had. I just wish you men would just admit that you don't want a woman to run the country, and tell that to your young daughters. I've always admired Hillary-her strength and her intelligence. I like that she's worked to make things better for women and children. Her role in pushing for grandparents rights. I didn't decide to vote for her because she is a woman–but in the last week that has changed. I want a woman to lead this country. It's time for a change!

There are lots of facts and fictions about the two leading democratic candidates. Few people have the time to sort them out. It's then important to turn off the TV, sit quietly for a moment, and ask yourself: who, between Hillary & Obama, better represents you, your values, and your beliefs.

I had been undecided until a few days ago when I took a hard look at both Obama and Hillary. I ended up going with Hillary because she stands for resilience, intelligence, self-sacrifice, and diligence, qualities of a loving, smart, modern woman. Her speeches may not be as motivating as Obama's, but they are filled with substances.

It's time we acknowledge that a woman can do great work outside of her home.

Hillary's "I listened to you and found my voice" is the dumbest campaign slogan when she is trying to take credit for 35 years of experience. How could she have possibly be effective in working for the people if she didn't have her voice?

It sounds more like I listened to you and found my vote niche, and I am going to milk it for all it is worth.

For a woman of 60 years old, she doesn't come across as a strong role model if she only found her voice at 60. Maybe that is her excuse for sticking by a husband who treated her and other women so disgracefully!

Also, to people that say she "faked" crying, let's see you in that situation, having worked so hard on a campaign for this long, lose one election that everyone expected you to lose anyway, since Obama would have been out had he lost Iowa (and that's why he spent more than 9mil than any other candidate in Iowa), and all of a sudden all the progressive people in the media that are supposed to be on your side turn on you and be sooooooooooo harsh. Her loss wasn't such a big deal, but Obama's NH loss was. Because one was expected and the other unexpected.

For all you folks you are fooled by the Clinton's READ!!!!

Based on his own history, Bill Clinton is the last person who should lecture Republicans about race. If there is any hypocrite on this issue, it is him.

When it comes to the Confederate flag issue, Clinton has conveniently forgotten who raised it in South Carolina. It was Democrat Senator Ernest Hollings who was Governor of South Carolina in 1962. He raised the flag above the state capitol in an act of defiance to civil rights. In later years, Hollings referred to blacks as “darkies” and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition the “Blackbow Coalition.”

Speaking of such, what about the Arkansas state flag? In 1923 a single star was added above the state’s name to recognize its membership in the Confederacy. In the five terms he served as Arkansas’ governor, Bill Clinton never changed it.

What about Clinton’s ties to segregationists? Former Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Clinton in 1993. In the ceremony, he referred to Fulbright as “my mentor.”

Another Arkansas segregationist, Orval Faubus, was another one of Clinton’s political mentors. Faubus was the governor who tried to stop the integration of Little Rock High School in 1957 by using the Arkansas National Guard. Integration occurred after President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Republican, superseded Faubus and nationalized the Arkansas National Guard.

If you don't believe this research Fulbright and Faubus for yourself. why if Clinton was so good to Black he didn't have a single black in is cabinet but yet Bush appointed more and had two blacks hold the highest position in his cabinet of any president in the history of our country. I'm not promoting Bush but you Clinton people need to research and know what you are talking about before you cast your vote...this is not media propaganda it's FACTS!!!!

B.O.   January 11th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Enough with the conspiracy theories!! No one believes in anything anymore. Everything is fraudulent!! Funny how Obama supporters seem to think that everything he does is completely honest and NOT political, when ALL the candidates use tactics.

Why is there so much animosity towards the Clintons?? I don't recall 1992-2000 being a time of fear, war and receding economics!! WAKE UP AMERICA!! A CRIMINAL IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!! HE HAS TREADED ALL OVER THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION WITHOUT HESITATION OR REMORSE!! HE HAS DAMAGED THE GLOBAL AMERICAN IMAGE TO A POINT WHERE THE WORLD IS BEGINNING TO LOSE ITS HOPE IN US!! WE WERE ONCE LOOKED UPON FOR LEADERSHIP TO BRING THE WORLD INTO BETTER TIMES, AND NOW OUR ENEMIES USE OUR DECAYING IMAGE AGAINST US TO BUILD MISTRUST AND CONSPIRACIES!! DO YOU WANT THEM TO SIT BACK AND WATCH US DESTROY OURSELVES FROM WITHIN??!! THEN CONTINUE WITH YOUR ILLOGICAL MANNERS WHERE YOU ARE BORED IN 5 MINUTES WITHOUT STIMULATION AND NOTHING IS APPRECIATED FOR WHAT IT IS?!!

Scared at all? Let's continue down this path we are currently on, and imagine what the world is like in 2020. I'm scared. I'm taking my vote seriously, but I'm more scared reading what some people say on these things.

Vanessa   January 11th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is NOT a disgrace to the women's movement, as posted above. That may be the most ridiculous comment I have ever heard. People, however, will continue to hurl insults at her BECAUSE she is a smart, strong, and powerful woman. For this same reason, she will continue to hold up against those baseless insults and keep on fighting for what she believes.
I also think it is sad that so many people in this country, as made obvious by the comments on these posts, get their "news" from conservative talk radio hosts. No, it has not been exposed that the "Iron my shirt" guys were "Clinton Operatives." Come on, people. Get a brain.

Please be real and get a life. Where do I start? The hand counted ballots comes from the rural areas, mostly the western and northern part of the state. These areas are not as heavily populated as the southeast. The big urban centers use the "diabolical" Diebold machines, because of the volume mostly. And it so happens, Obama's stronghold is the northeast, while Clinton's stronghold is the southeast. There is nothing conspiracional, statistically unsound or mysterious about the results in those areas. You poll better in your stronghold. By the way, if the numbers you quote above are percentages, they don’t make sense. The hand count is above 100% and the machine count is 87%. You folks have so little sense that do not questions idiocies like that!

2) The NH results matched the NH exit polling done by the media. Again, no one seriously thinks there was anything inappropriate in the results, not even the Obama camp.

You folks that support Obama need to be a little more civilized and more informed. It reflects badly on your candidate.

I agree with Mark and Will...the campaign saw how people reacted to Mrs. Clinton taking these public questions and showing "emotion." Now they could be on a kick with having plants designed to motivate women voters for her. Simple psychology: some women will rally around Mrs. Clinton when they "see" she is the victim of stupid comments and ignorant come-on's....just like they are on a day to day basis. In other words, they'll think, "She's just like us!" and the hope is they'll support her against the sexiest pigs out there. Good ploy...and still using a "us vs. them" message and putting in sexiest men instead of terrorists as the common enemy. Too bad its not just a genuwine uniting message for all races and genders to work for the common betterment. Hopefully the voters see through it. I wonder if more people would rally behind Obama if there were clips of people yelling racist remarks against him...getting that "guilt" vote from the caucasian population. Wait-a-minute, Obama is above making race or gender an issue...and the media probably wouldn't play those soundbytes even if someone yelled them.

Hillary's being third in Iowa gave her the strength instead of felling defeat. Hillary's determination to prove that she is there to really make the change for our country. Hillary did not want to lose that opportunity to really want to show to all of us that she really mean business......to do her plans for the country. Hillary did everything she could to fight and to show to the people of New Hampshire that she will do the job.....that she will do what she is planning for the country and to the people of the UNited States of America. They heard her voice. People of New Hampshire voted intelligently, voting for Hillary. I know and I believe that the rest of the States will follow. We cannot afford to have someone to run our country or lead our country that does not have the experience. Even when applying for a job as an ordinary person, they will ask about your experience. Just imagine...talking about a country to run...............I am very sorry but I don't think I will risk my country. I don't think people of the United States will kile that either.

I love my country. Viva America! The best qualified candidate so far is Hillary. I am so glad that the people of New Hampshire made the right decisions. Viva New Hampshire. Whatever in Iowa was fine. Peopel then I believe voted when Obama after Oprah campaigned for him. I was hot then but I know for sure that if achievement and records have been presented to them, maybe it would have been a different story. Viva Iowa! No matter what happened.

Our country is first to think...............the economy.......job..........Irag. We need soemone who can do the job first day. We are smart voters. We are intelligent voters.

charlotte   January 11th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Wow, Kuzinich got more hits then votes. If the Clintons are crooks, as some losers imply, boy are they shrewed. They managed to withstand an independent council, by the name of Ken Starr,, news crazy media, and no proof of wrong doing, nothing was found. Get over it people, we know the Clintons, warts and all. Name one person who is still in the running, that could hold up to that kind of scrutiney, I'll vote for them.

mike   January 11th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

Henrietta Jones   January 11th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Voting for Hillary because she is a woman is grossly irresponsible.

Women will face hurdles in their careers because they give birth and are biologically equipped to provide early childcare, whether or not Hillary becomes President.

On the other hand, an Obama presidency will turn the page on 400 years of slavery, Jim Crow and colonialism.

Please, for crying out loud, pause to consider that we are electing the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

In a time when the future of our global civilization is in substantial doubt, voting for Hillary because she is woman is childish and selfish.

Once again, American turns itself inward toward the Baby Boomers' incessant navel gazing and self-obsession. Bill and Hillary are the master at channeling that particular social toxin. Shame on them for doing it, and shame on us for buying it.

I can't wait for Hillary Clinton to be the best President EVER.

Hillary is da woman!   January 11th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Texas Pride   January 11th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

See, no matter what this woman does or doesn't do she gets criticized. Even women. Shame on you. You females that hate her so much you all proably still iron your man' shirts and wait on him hand and foot, and you probably support his bad habits–buy his cigarettes and bring him his beer! Well, there are some women out here that we know how take the shots that come at us unjustly, and still be in control of our lives. And you men, oh yeah, like you never cheated on your woman. Give me a break! Who are you the Pope? HA. You are so jealous of her. She's got more guts than all you male and female bashers put together. The way you males talk about her tells me alot of your opinion of women. You probably still believe we should be at the back of the line and not have the right to vote! Get over it. She's a woman and she's got power and she will win and it's eating you up!! Sure am glad you're not my son or daughter.

William   January 11th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

When Hillary said "I finally found my voice", I think what she was really saying was she found the lines that people want to hear.

Finally found her voice? What else could it mean? She had been suffering from laryngitis? She was not speaking loud enough? She was impersonating other people's voices?

What it means, people, is she finally found the cliche's and cach phrases that people will fall for to get their vote. Maybe it was the crying the night before the election in New Hampshire.

Do you really think she is sincere?

Jason, Chicago, IL   January 11th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Hillarylover   January 11th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

The truth of the matter the more you beat Clinton the more women voters and the real men. The men who realize that women are just as great as men, will come out of the woodwork to support her. Everytime you try to belittle, degrade and humilate her someone will come in and support her.

With Obama running this race has become a circus and probably the biggest joke in our US history. We have Mr. Martin saying racist stuff is being said. Monte Brown from NY NY couldn't have said it better. We love you down here in Texas sir.

Truth of the matter Obama is no competition. And, shame on you any real politican who throws in your support for Obama. NO OBAMA.

Clinton 08

steven   January 11th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

the "iron my shirt" guys were from a local radion station and it was a prank.
i doubt the hillary campaign would plant this person – it makes hillary look weak and disrespected. is what this guy did so outrageous? no.

if i'm correct, they both got an equal number of delegates out of nh. the clintons are constantly attacked by the media all the time. i'm sure obama has his own past that could be scrutinized, not to mention no one tells us what his record or experience are, but the media leaves him alone or fights on his behalf.

he "loses" one, single, tiny election (though it was really a tie) and then it all become about racism or rigged elections, or women voting for hillary over "the cry." get real people. romney ACTUALLY cried a couple of weeks ago but no one said much about that.

i think CNN is crazy with all of these discussions about obama's race, while ignoring the fact that there are men (and women) who won't vote for hillary because she's a woman. maybe hillary lost iowa because men refused to vote for her? and most men voted for obama in nh. where's the discussion?

forget your personal opinions of the candidates, who would do the most and be the best for the country?

GO HILLARY!

HILLARY PRESIDENT 2008!!

I wondered how long it would take for racism and 'rigged' voting to rear it's ugly head when Obama lost in New Hampshire. Less than 24 hours!

Why didn't we hear 'racism' come up when CNN did an interview with Obama's Granny and she said she was very angry when Obama's father married a white woman! AND this was done before the New Hampshire vote.

Is that racism? Where were the 'race card throwers' when that was aired??

HILLARY PRESIDENT 2008

AnybodyButHillary   January 11th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

If we let Hillary win, all we will have is more of the same! Don't you see? Can you honestly say that you are proud of where America is now?

We must make CHANGE! Not more of the same.

David, Silver Spring, MD   January 11th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

I think it's funny that her response was that she'd probably get arrested and not "Thank you, but I'm already happily married."

To all of you Hillary haters and Obama haters: let's try to keep this civil, okay? You don't have to tear down other candidates in order to support your own.

David   January 11th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

This is a very cheap way of getting votes. this is not a news anymore. crying for votes, joking and talking about marriage proposal. does it make any sense? you lack charisma, the you use these techniques. I was Sen. Clinton supporter once she crieed for votes in NH, i changed my mind and voted for Obama.

Alice   January 11th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

CNN should play Hillary's fear mongering comments and her denigration of MLK and HIS DREAM, THAT she said immediately followed her "crying" episode at the next campaign site. Too bad CNN did not play these on air.

ray   January 11th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

haha its funny to see how Junior Senator Obama's supporters blatantly oppose anything that has Hillary Clinton's name on it. I guess this is a preview of the 'change' he is proposing to bring. Go Hillary! The country needs you. After 8 years of an inexperienced president, we don't need another one.

I shudder to even think what foreign policy will be under Junior Senator Obama will be. His idea of bringing 'Change' in foreign policy will be to give stirring speeches to world leaders and hope they will also start chanting 'Fired up, Ready to Go!' and 'Change Change Change' with him. This is not a Hollywood movie, this is real world. In fact, if it were all about stirring speeches, why not get an actor from hollywood and put him in charge of the Presidency?

Frank Mayans   January 11th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Sal Phoenix, AZ   January 11th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Isn't it amazing, the most important issue in the country right now is the economy.The only candidate in either party not afraid to talk about the economy is Senator Clinton.Like her or not, she is the best and strongest person for the job.

It's absurd and so are the many ignorant comments posted here. I do not think ignorance is going to help this country; but it's obvious that the ignorant outnumber the thinking people who vote; or we wouldn't be where we are today, 8 years of George W. Bush!!!!

Do the United States a favor, try to think about what's best for this country. Senator Hillary Clinton is someone who will do a lot more for this country than just make some speeches.

The United States should be ashamed anyway; it is one of the most backward countries in the world; how long do we have to wait to have an intelligent woman who is a leader elected to the top position in this government???

This is the time, Senator Hillary Clinton will be the BEST president this country has had in a long, long time.

Sis   January 11th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Emily N...you got that right. They don't need to respond to the article as long as they can bash Hillary. She is funny, intelligent , the most qualified to be President of any in either party so if you want to bash her in an article that is non related, Hillary supporters will applaud her in the same articles. I'm with you Emily and I'm sure with Hillary...she will be the candidate for ALL the people.

David from Texas   January 11th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

You go Hillary! You responded with a great response. Are we already going to start with recounts. I knew it was coming just a matter of time. We are not even to the General Election. I can't wait until Hillary's next win and see what excuse poor losers will come up with for Obama's lost. Recounts rarely ever change election results. New Hampshire is not Ohio or Florida. I have never heard of a voting problem in New Hampshire-if I am wrong, please correct me.

Aidyn   January 11th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I love you Hillary! You are great!

Mike, Eugene, Oregon   January 11th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Do we look like sheep to you? Everyone knows that the NH election 3was the most outrageous example of vote fraud this country has ever witnessed. It is a mathematical impossibility that the polls were that far off. Sixteen hours before the election, Barak Obama has leads varying between 9 and 11 points. The margin of error for any of those polls was 2%. Now, all of the results, other than the Obama-Clinton contest fell within the margin of error and the polls tracked those results precisely. Furtherwmore, where there was a paper trail, even the Clinton-Obama vote tracked the polls. It was ONLY in those cases where votes were cast electronically that the Cliton "victory" turned up. The obvious conclusion, and IT IS being investigated, is that that widespread vote frqaud took place.

And, as for the racist comments of the Clinton nut jobs, just as I and other have predicted, it is coming home to roost:

"Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., through a spokesman, used even stronger language. "Following Barack Obama's victory in Iowa and historic voter turnout in New Hampshire, the cynics unfortunately have stepped up their efforts to decry his uplifting message of hope and fundamental change.
"Regrettably, they have resorted to distasteful and condescending language that appeals to our fears rather than our hopes. I sincerely hope that they'll turn away from such reactionary, disparaging rhetoric."

A series of comments from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, her husband, and her supporters are spurring a racial backlash and adding a divisive edge to the presidential primary as the candidates head south to heavily African-American South Carolina.
The comments, which ranged from the New York senator appearing to diminish the role of Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement - an aide later said she misspoke - to Bill Clinton dismissing Sen. Barack Obama's image in the media as a "fairy tale" - generated outrage on black radio, black blogs and cable television. And now they've drawn the attention of prominent African-American politicians.
"A cross-section of voters are alarmed at the tenor of some of these statements," said Obama spokeswoman Candice Tolliver, who said that Clinton would have to decide whether she owed anyone an apology."

Recent polls are suggesting that more than half of black voters are so angry at the Clinton candidacy that they will wholesale desert the Democrartic Party in the November election.

Taylor   January 11th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

"In regards to the NH diebold. There are equal amounts of diebold counts favoring Obama and handcounts favoring Clinton. You need to see the whole list. It was a close race but going by margins of error, it's very unlikely that it was rigged for Clinton. Even they were surprised they won. It would be a waste of time and $ to redo the count there. You need to move on and demand recounts where tampering is very likely otherwise you'll waste resources."
_______

I agree with everything you just said. The recount isn't going to make a difference and I don't support Clinton or Obama, so I'm all for it. I just think it's a waste. And I'm afraid if we do a recount now, someone is going to want a recount in every state that votes.

Alice   January 11th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

If CNN had played Hillary's racist remarks concerning Dr. King, and her statement that we need her to protect us from the terrorist(sounds like a Republican to me), as much as they played her crying, I doubt that NH would have crowned Hillary the winner. The last thing that we need is more fear tactics, and the civil rights movement was NOT won because of President Johnson.

Wolf and Donna Brazil deliberately misquoted what Congressman Clyburn was upset about. CNN should play fair and play Hillary's comments concerning MLK, and her fear mongering statements.

chidi   January 11th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

There's an atom of truth in every lie, they say. Can the appropriate authority investigate this rigging thing in NH being posted on the WEB? i'll appeciate it if it's not swept under the rug.

Leslie Somerville, Seattle, Washington   January 11th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

It is really disturbing to see how many people are buying into this "rigged voting" nonsense. There is absolutely no credible evidence to support it. And it suggests a level of political immaturity that is genuinely shocking.

I don't have a dog in the fight because I will vote for anyone the Democratic Party nominates. But these Obama people need to get a grip. There will be a lot more disappointments along the way, even if he finally wins. Throwing silly conspiracy theories around on the internet doesn't do their man any good.

Richard, LA CA   January 11th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

wow, it really is amazing how the media really creates a story out of nothing. This story should havebeen last last thing on "CNN.com". come one, i was there at the speach, the kid who yelled that out was only doing it to get hillary's attention. i would never think that somthing so sinister as a cry for external validation would make top news on Hillary's campaign.

Hillary really is a sincere woman, anyone who ridiculed Hillary for her emotinal episode in New Hampshire really don't know who Hillary is. Watching her live allowed me to personally see that she really is sincere about what she does and she does want to build a better nation.

I believe the media is going to need a better tool to bring Hillary down becuase she is strong, she is the most quilified, and she is the best person to respresent the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES!

Jose Card - Independent   January 11th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

This marriage proposal for Hillary reminds me of another marriage proposal. The Clinton's diplomatic efforts in Africa brought another marriage proposal from a councillor, Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor in Nakuru, for Chelsea by offering her parents 20 head of beef cattle and 40 goats.

Will Princess Chelsea have her wedding in the White House?
You decide.

Wai Wait Wait.... So from what I'm reading in this thread you all want an honest president.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

No one running is honest. No one ever elected anywhere was or ever will be honest at the national level. If you think Obama is, your fooling yourselves. He'll get eaten alive if we put him in the White house and the rest of the world would laugh at us.

The man promisses nothing but warm fuzzy feelings and rainbows!!!! I'll stick to reality, thanks. I kinda like the fact I know Hillary is a hard ... yeah.. that.

At least she'd stand a shot against the rest of the devious and manipulative politicians out there.

Obama will fail worse than any of you can imagine if he actually pulls this off and will become yet another lacky merely folowing party line, poorly to trying to save himself before ruin.

Are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama smart enough to realize that when the dust settles after the primaries, THEY are the best 'wo-man' for the job of running this country? As President and Vice President, they will have a unique opportunity to 'send a message' to the world about equal opportunity, race relations, and bi-partisanship that may be unequaled anytime soon!

hsl   January 11th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Go Hillary!

Sillary   January 11th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

How many wanna be want to bet before the primaries Feb, 5 Sillary comes down with some chornic illness so all the women will start crying and run and give her a hug..she's a disgrace to the women movement, weak, over -emotional and her breath stinks!!!

Linda   January 11th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

It seems to me that each day we take giant steps backwards. So Bill Clinton defended his wife – so what! The press has not adequately vetted Barack Obama. He may be the best but "we, the people..." do not know that.. After Iowa, CNN gave Obama 24 hours of free coverage including his Grandmother in Kenya and yet, all they covered was what a nice guy he is. This is NOT the issue. The issue is – can Barack Obama be the President of the United States! Can he deal with grim global realities; can he deal with our withering economy; can he be an effective beltway leaders; can he be an effective global leader. Beyond lovely and inspiring rhetoric, what does he have? CNN has let us all down in not asking the hard questions and giving him the scrutiny they give to all other front runners. Why not?? More than ever, we rely on networks like CNN. I have to say, PBS has done a much better job at objective, straightforward reporting.

Brian Des Moines, IA   January 11th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Joe Ossai, Bedford, NH

Here goes an idea....the precincts which had the Diebold machines preferred Hillary’s message to Obama’s!!

Maybe we should think about that!

Or maybe it was human error, by which I mean that the paper counts were ridged for Obama!?

I think the recount is a good idea!! I also think we shouldn't jump to conclusions, because without facts they are just fluff and a distraction technique!!

irma   January 11th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

In regards to the NH diebold. There are equal amounts of diebold counts favoring Obama and handcounts favoring Clinton. You need to see the whole list. It was a close race but going by margins of error, it's very unlikely that it was rigged for Clinton. Even they were surprised they won. It would be a waste of time and $ to redo the count there. You need to move on and demand recounts where tampering is very likely otherwise you'll waste resources.

elly   January 11th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Why is OK for Barack Obama to be condescending toward Hillary like when he called her meeting with Benazir Bhutto "having tea" but Bill Clinton is being taken to task for calling Obama's flip flop on the war a fairy tale? How about Barack's arrogant remark, "You're likeable enough Hillary. " Wolfe and the others didn't question that. Edwards made a remark about her pant suit in a debate and no one cared. I'm sick of the double standard. I' ll be hard pressed to defend Obama against the Republican onslaught if he becomes the nominee if he can't take the word fairy tale now.

Hey Joe. Did it ever dawn on you that young people were CRAMMED into the election centers by the Obama people, just like in Iowa. All in an attempt to cancel out the mainstream democratic vote?

Kids who never voted before? Therefore the OVERFLOW of voters caused many more paper ballots. Usually in Obama's favor .

adam   January 11th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

All of them are fools, unenlightened, ignorant and without honor. Be done with the charade and find another total approach. We are in a Peak Everything Era and we whistle about games, games games. People grow up and get a grip. Or just fall into a realm of "entertainment" forever.

Where is the Love? Where is the Courage? These corrupt fools will never produce anything but more suffering.

I was asked today in front of one of the stores, what I thought about a black
man being in the White House. I said I am okay with it as long as it is Andrew
Young or Colan Powell.

A lot of people do not like Hussein, but will not say so, not because they are
against a black man, but just do not care for this one.

If this fellow is the party nominee, a lot of people will vote GOP/

Disgusted by Hillary   January 11th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

As a woman...she needs to get a clue. I hope some day, she and Bill are imprisoned for the uncounted body county. Wake up American, the clintons are crooks!

Independed   January 11th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Where is Bloomberg, he comes in if Hillary get the nod you all know that unlike Dems Independed will not swagger when casting their vote they will vote Bloomberg. If Hillary loses the independed votes plus disgruntal leftover from Obama's she is toast.

Peter   January 11th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Senator Clinton might less often be the victim of such comments had she not built her career by being married to a powerful man, then selling herself out for political gain (Iraq war, backpedaling on immigration, offering two completely opposite health care proposals then attacking a rival for doing the same). I would love for my daughter to grow up with a woman president, but one who comes to power by force of her own personal virtues and failings (a la Meir and Thatcher, regardless of what you think of their politics).

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? Are you willing to accept a Republican as president again when HE wins "fair and square", too?

Well, if you marry her, you might get into the White House. Anyway, I wanna see some video!

Ann Kuminns   January 11th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Being a good person is not good enough to be president. I was horrified by some of the comments from some women friends who state that now that Hillary would be our next president, she would raise taxes and then have her husband come and sort out the problems of the economy for our country. This is how she won in NH. Women vote through "emotions" and don't fault me – I am a woman. This is how and why we will lose the next elections!

Brian A. Arlington, VA   January 11th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

One word describes Hillary...PHONY

james   January 11th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

The Media spends so much time spinning for Billary she doesn't need a staffer to help.

1) She can hardly hold off attacking a candidate long enough to sell the media a cry? The lady she was playing to didn't buy it but get out of the talking heads way!

2) Some how a sexist gets into a rally allowing her to spontaneously respond that sexism lives. We she knows him well if he is not banging the staff, and spontaneity have you watched "that woman" try to cover?

Just in time to recover the female vote in NH.

There is hope Hoosiersfor.JohnMcCain.com

Caine   January 11th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Ron Paul is the only candidate who will truly make the changes that will make America strong again. It's the same political rhetoric with Hillary and the rest of the lobby-dependent, two party system mouth-pieces.

Jose Card - Independent   January 11th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

I used to feel sorry for Hillary till I read this recent Newsweek article about her power grabbing from Bill after each affair. She lives for presidential power so she was not being pushed around by anybody. This article is actually the closest proof for her experience in the White House. Google for "Newsweek Hillary's Hidden Hand" and enjoy!

George W.   January 11th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

She is so fake..Im suprised she didnt start crying. Go home to Bill and leave the country alone. Only a mentaly depressed idiot would vote for you.

Esther   January 11th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

The agents of change came changing elections in NH by rigging? Give me a break!

So with the plastic surgery that the old, out of touch Senator from New York has had, and assuming that she is elected President, how far do you think that she will get into her term before she is mistaken for Michael Jackson?

Watch her nose fall off in the middle of the State of the Union Address (LOL)!

Chris, Wisconsin   January 11th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

GO HILLARY!

Mike   January 11th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Nobody will quiet me till I see this election in NH set straight!

EE   January 11th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

They Clintom machine will do everything to change her.This is a classic plant to make her look humurious. Well calculated. In new Hampshire it was the sexist plant that was meant to attract sympathy vote from the women, then the tearing down that won her the elections, now they are out to humanize her.

Wow. we need more!

WomenAgainstHillary   January 11th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Hillary, women everywhere are insulted by your "iron my shirt" plant, and your thinking that we're so Naive, that we'll vote for you just because you are a woman, or pretended to tear up! We see right through you!

New Hampshire election was won by Obama, it was stolen by Diebold machine.

Few hours after it was confirmed that Hilary won, I post my doubt on this board. I knew something was wrong and Kuchinich is calling NH out on it.

The truth will come out..

ATTILA the Hun   January 11th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Queer Planet   January 11th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

The population of the planet increases at three people per second.

Valuable resources, like oil, water and timber are nearly gone.

Hillary made a deal with Diebold and Murdoch about two years ago to play the game with them.

The US military is the resource police of the world for large corporations.

You do the math.

We are all married to the CLinton's and the Bush's. Every time you drive your car , have more kids, and shop at Wal Mart, you say I do all over again.

Maybe because they counting two different districts with different people in them. Or are you saying that everyone in NH is the same??

Brooke, Philadelphia, PA   January 11th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

"Poor Clinton, she'd probably have more kind offers if she didn't let her husband push her around and cheat on her"

Right on the cheating but I doubt he pushes her around, more like the other way around.

Isn't Kucinich from Ohio? How ironic, a state that rigged the election in 04 and one of their own is crying foul. Sore loser.

Walt, Belton, TX   January 11th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Emily N.   January 11th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

How is election rigging related to this article? Are some people just posting their negativity about Hillary on any article with her name on it? I wouldn't be surprised if these are the same people who are supporting Obama. The politics of hope indeed...

Tom Davie   January 11th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

The 'rigged' election is probably more about a RIGGED advanced poll than a massive CONSPIRACY to rigg the actual vote.

This would never be an issue if Obama had won.

Golden rule

if the vote is close enough and your candidate LOSES – cry FOUL FOUL FOUL

Gail   January 11th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

I am praying if Hillary get nominated for Bloomberg to come in we show her what is like to rig elections!

gene   January 11th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Well, I have been waiting to see something on Clinton's Nevada visit. I did read a little about it on MSNBC and now we get this tidbit from California. Their has been several iimportant endorsements. A representative from Nevada, two important Hispanic endorsement [they were Richardson supporters], several Nevada local political leaders, etc. etc. The only thing he seems interested is in what Bill Clinton had to say in a radio interview. I almost forgot, Clinton also recevied four more important ones form South Carolina. Wolfe needs a rest and should stop saying " best polictical team on t.v".

Ben, Tempe AZ   January 11th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Hillary you look great at 60, I don't blame the guy for asking!! On a side note I am not a Hillary supporter, however, I will give credit where credit is due and will vote for her if she wins the nomination.

I am married so I cant ask hillary to marry me.

Besides, I am a full generation younger than she is and she is married.

I cant ask Obama to marry be cause he is from Chicago and I hate the Black Hawks.

I cant ask Edwards to marry me cause he ran with senator Kerry.
