CNN

All of the polls show that Clinton can win Obama in the Prelim and McCain in the Presendential race. She will get my vote...

Regarding Chuck's comments, Hillary no doubt read Karl Marx's Capitalist's Manifesto in college, and now wants to become America's first socialist president. God help us. Obama is no different with his ultra-left record.

McCain may be too old to enter the Olympics, but never too old to lead a nation.

Hillary and Bill spew the socialist party line right out of the communist manifesto. The government controlling society and who gets what by making everyone pay what they think is everyone's fair share? How much more moronic can you get to start buying into their kind of dictatorial rule and economic control philosophy? Don't you remember the market crash of 2000 with the dot com fiasco during their tenure?

Wake up! You are slowly being brainwashed and catering to Marxism whether you realize it or not! You will regret having Hillary and Bill back in control again. You think things suck now, wait until you see how much pain you will feel with Hillary and Bill back in control again. They feel no one's pain other than their own. So, let's hope they don't get back in control and when they lose they are gone from politics forever.

Please Go Vote in 2008... but not for another Clinton Dictatorship.

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!RON PAUL is running for President! Why do you consistently refuse to mention him?????

I'd like to make a comment about this campaign and the continual mis-use, over-use and unmeaningful use of the word "Change". Change for change's sake is not necessarily good – it could be disastrous, depending on what it is. And we've had too much disaster in the last 8 years – we sure don't need more. I'd like to hear someone tell me exactly what changes they want to make and HOW they believe they can make them... not just hear them throw the word out there for unthinking people to buy into their latest message because they used the "C" word! Let's hear some definite ideas, huh?

America deserves better. The Clintons discraced the White House. Hillary backs the special interest groups. I will be voting for Obama. My husband is republican and he wants Obama for president. Clintons will do anything for a vote. America needs to get rid of crooked politicians! OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its wonderful to see that a force has really rattled the Clintons in their 'Clintons Country' , to warrant their new tactics of stoking prejudice and passing the blames to Obama. Their tactics is the reason for Obama's soaring profile. Obama would have had his hands full if it was Pelosi and not Hillary on the gender front. The Clintons attack strategy targetting Obama alone out of all other candidates. even with all their 20 years experience at the helms at Arkansas and the White House is HELPING more than hurting Obama. Great Leaders retire or step aside when they come to the painful realisation that their people want a change and that they are no longer prefered. Tony Blair did it for Britain. The Clintons should do it for America as they may have become a burden that could cost the Democratic party the 2008 Elections.
Those who are trying to stop Obama from being the first President of African- American descent or those who try to stop Hillary from being the first woman to be elected President should note that in the nearest future they cannot stop Americans from doing either of both. Obama and Hillary should attract peoples respect as strong Democrats and not hate as your hate cannot win an election.
Let Obama win, people with experience from just 2 families have disappointed Americans as Presidents since 1989 whereas no one cared whether they are White, Black or Coloured, but we have noticed and now reject the B – C – B – C ? DYNASTY. Democrats back Obama & Edwards. Clintons dynasty has ended.

Im so happy that Hillary is leading the polls... Obama is a fine man and a Great speaker, But I really belive that the right wants Him to win Thats scary..... Think about it.... besides Me and many others miss those 90's it was the first time me and my husband were ever able to put money in stocks... we have Been closing CD's and retirement funds just to keep our homes and credit cards... I'm sick of this ... Im running out of monies to get us above water... im just grateful we had it to help us many dont and thats a shame... GO HIULLARY GO

Whatever...!!! Hilary for president we are doooomed!!!! liar and accuser,well I guess thats what America whats...go ahead!

Why do people talk about Hillary's experience? What expereince do you get being married to someone? Being a spouse is not the same as working in the job itself. And, 35 years? Wasn't she in law school 35 years ago? How does college = experience. Wake up, people!

"GO OBAMA" GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA!

Peter , that reminds me.. the other thing we need to question is as Hillary Claims is after 35 years of hard work for the Americans she still has not made anything so much that she has to be elected president ...

....and is it really 35 years of experience, if so then its time to retire Hillary, what do you think?

I fail to understand the vitriol by supposed democrats for Senator Obama. Wasn't it Hillary Clinton who voted for the Bush War, and claims being married to the administration of Dick Morris as part of "35 years of experience"? I respect some of her accomplishments, but the country could use a fresh start. There must be more than two families with members capable of leading a country of over 300 million people. Senator Obama is not the one playing the race card. First of all he is far above that as a person, secondly he has no incentive to: he is trying to win a national election where a distinct majority of the electorate is of a different race than he. If you want to say that he is relatively unexperienced (like JFK and unlike Dick Cheney) that is a valid point. But the hostility is a little bit disturbing.

I am an African American who grew up in DC, and consider the Clintons to be both manipulating and vile career politicians. Bill Clinton was no Black president and anyone with a little sense understands this. All the Clinton's did was inherit a booming economy due to the advancements of the computer age. During these periods minority programs were victimized by the likes of Newt Gingrich, Black schools fell deeper into the abyss, and one of the worst cases of genocide in the history of man occurred in the African country Rwanda and Clinton did absolutely nothing despite the call to action from the Black community (800,000 people were killed in three months as a result of the Clinton's inaction). Then to add insult to injury, these same slimy Clinton's went and bombed Yugoslavia due to then president Milosevic engaging in what the world called genocide. Clinton decided it was appropriate to go to war with Yugoslavia because White people were being murdered (but no way near the number of Blacks that were killed in Rwanda), but just left almost one million Black people to die. First Black president I think not!! I would rather have David Duke.

Report Abuse
--------------------------–

Its refreshing to notice that there are people like Mike, who reason issues out and question peoples positions. Hillary has been around long enough to have made a positive impact on our lives. so much that we will not be talking about change, but the truth is she hasnt,

She talks of change, what does she want to change? the legacy that Bush has left us with, whose part she voted for, or is it an issue of changing what Bush inherited from Bill... lets apply ourselves here and think broadly.

I find it ludicrous for Clinton, or rather the Clintons to be talking of Change.... when they have been part of the status quo, this is a case of entrusting one man [or woman .. or is it one family] mess and unmess our lives

Personally i am a democrat supporting Barack Obama, but if it ever comes down to having Clinton and McCain goin toe to toe I wouldn't waist my vote on Clinton. She is too power hungry full of deciet and lies, she would most surely throw america futher into problems. I don't believe Obama played the race card, i actually think the CLinton campain staged the whole thing to make Obama look bad...which further elaborates my opinion on the Clintons. If she ever does get into the white house she will surely have a second tearm, but Obama shows potential and much more intergrity.

come on people. can't you see that bill and hillary will say or do anything to get elected. hillary was crying because she is losing not because she cares about this country. it's all about herself

Bill and Hillary will say anything to get elected. They have this sense of entitlement and arrogance. I am proud to say I only voted for Bill one time (once was enough).

Obama offers real change by building a broad new, more inclusive Democratic majority. As a result, he will get more done as President than Hillary ever could.

Bill and Hillary rule by divide and conquor...the Karl Rove playbook. It's sad and pathetic and I wont vote for her in the general election.

Hillary and Bill Clinton are 2 con artists, portraying themselves to be allies of the Black community when in fact they have done no more than any other Democrat to support Black causes.

I recall that under his Administration, in 1993, the nation got its criminal crime bill that has caused the incarceration of millions of young black men due to unfair sentence guidelines regarding crack and powder cocaine. Under his administration, poor black women became the victim of Welfare Reform and dead end jobs while corporate welfare escalated. In addition, in an effort to show his military muscle, be illegally bombed Iraq and a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant. Inspired by corporate influence, he decimated the businesses of several Caribbean islands when he used the power of his presidency to transfer European markets for Caribbean bananas to Chiquita Brands, a major supporter of his campaign. He refused to intervene during the Rwanda genocide during which millions were killed and/or displaced. He did not support Lani Guinier, his nomination for the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, and the hypocrite fired Joycelyn Elders for speaking candidly about human sexuality.
Since throwing her hat into the race for president, Hillary Clinton has adopted the same, "I am Black and I feel your pain" nonsense as her spouse. Throughout his days in the White House and the US Senate, she has failed to politically demonstrate any real concern for issues facing Black people or Africans throughout the Diaspora. In contrast, during each debate, she attempts to come across as being more "black" than Obama, which I find offensive.

She, like her husband, has done nothing of value to earn the consistent loyalty and respect of black people. Moreover, while she is comfortable going to a black church, hugging black politicians and ministers, misquoting SoJourner Truth and making references to the historical oppression of Black people, such symbolic gestures should not be misinterpreted to mean that Hillary is a political ally of Blacks or Africa

Also, if you look at what has been said over and over again during these past months; The Clinton's have been telling us that Barack Obama, isn't good enough to represent any race, or class of people. That is why this is so disheartening, the since of her” Entitlement."

We don't owe anyone our vote, you must first earn it! This is how the American people are being pushed into voting for the Clinton's. What was done in the past is just that, the past! What matter now is what you have done Lately! We need to know Hillary’s experience now, and not Bill’s experience back then in the 1990’s.

Has Hillary made any major changes since she has been in the "Senate" now! However she did vote for the Iraq war and the Iran resolution, what bills has she passed that has helped the American people within the last 7 years? What makes you think that anything will change, does she have the ability to work across party lines?

From what I see so far from Hillary is that we are “Being had,” all talk and no action. So my point is this “We the People of the United States of America,” must judge for ourselves and not what anyone is willing to say, or do to get elected.

So, Hillary if we don't have unity instead we will still have division, and then what good would it do to elect you?

Now, if Obama can bring about change then we are better off going with a new way of thinking instead of having the same old thing and expecting different results equal the definition of Stupidity!

As, to race and the gender card being played it has been played all along by the Hillary Clinton. Example: “I am a woman, I sorry that you don't like me, crying to get votes in New Humphries, I’ve been vetted, and the list goes on and on” What does that say about what you are willing to do to get elected, at any cost? Remember there isn’t any crying in politics; just simply state your case and move on! Let us make our own choice, stick to the facts and stop the BS’!

Barack OBAMA, he's smart, speaks well, inspirational, educated, young, black, but ask yourself this, does he point this out himself, our do we! He has never mentioned these things only other have.

That is what the Clinton campaign is "Afraid” of! That you will take the time to look at him, and see what is really wrong with American, because he doesn't fit the stereotype of what White America really thinks about Black people!

This is the fear that the Clinton campaign is afraid of, that we will see this in them. That is why they have been visage in attacking Barack Obama, and they are trying to dismiss him, and all of his accomplishment.

So don’t be fooled by the Clinton’s or Karl Rove, they are both using the same playbook. “Attack, Attack, Attack, Dismiss, Dismiss, Dismiss, Blame, Blame, Blame, Destroy Destroy Destroy, Defeat, Defeat Defeat”! Then we the people LOOOOSE!!!!!

So, I ask you again; we are free to choose the candidate of our own choice, but don't be fooled by what you see, or hear the Clinton's say they can’t be trusted. Bill Clinton, hasn't never been a black president for black people, but rather the president of the United States of America. That “IS” the same opportunity that Barack Obama is asking of us too!

We don’t need petty insults of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, or of any other person who was willing to lay their life on the line for America to achieve the “Dream of Equality of all its people, Black, White, Brown, Asian, Women and Children”!

To add food for thought; Perhaps we all need to look deep within our own hearts and ask ourselves the one major burning question. Why would you first of all be so disrespectful to someone whom only wants to have a seat at the table? Barack Obama, no doubt must be pretty important.

The movement of inspiration of change and hope that he brings, I would contributed this to his up bring, teaching, character, and his abilities to inspire others by the message of hope, that he now brings us. You see he is living the dream!

What compassion and strong conviction he must have to put himself, and his family out their for so many people to look at. That takes courage and the willingness of sacrifice that he wants to bring about “Change like so many others that came before him!”

He isn’t an empty suit as others have suggested; but rather most importantly enough a “Man” that has the courage to run for president, and to give apart of himself too, and for others.

He has instead demonstrated these gifts of service through his community outreach efforts, community organizer, and his works within the Illinois house of legislation, and now a State Senator. He has achieved many great accomplishments and will continue to achieve greater successes.

But, one thing that I do know; If you allow fear to rule your mind and your hearts, you will never be able to appreciate the efforts of others. “The goal for each individual is to give more than you take from this life, and not the other way around.” And lastly and more importantly: “Dare to Dream” Barack Obama for president

Don't forget, the polls do not include those who only use cell phones.

Hillary is far better known and respected and with Bill on her side, this couple will bring the economy back to its feet. Change we need but not with an inexperienced Senator. It's a risk with Obama.Can.t take it as oil, food and soon the cost of medicine will sky rocket. Not a time for movment which is just a passing fad.

Polls?

Are you serious?

In 2000, Gore had more VOTES and he still lost. Eight years later we still have an Electoral College. When do we learned by our mistakes?

The next President will be whomever the Republicans decide will be President unless the Democratic Party gets its act together and achieves an incontrovertible win. After watching the 2000 and 2004 elections, I am convinced the Republican Party has sleeper agents in the Democratic Party poised to count " red chads" when the time is right.

Polls won't matter until there is some serious election reform in this country.

Hillary is definitely the more experienced leader here. I saw the interviews of both Barack and Hillary in Tyra's show; Barack definitely LACKS DEPTH. I believe the Obama camp should not play on the race issue against Hillary since, it is no doubt, she has always been an advocate and STRONG DEFENDER of civil rights. Educated, mature Democrats will know that.

iwont vote for 2 liars and crooks the clintons – and i'm a life long democrat

the united states is not ready for african-american president especially for a guy who has no experience. he could try first running the african countries because nobody knows how to. the result is, endless suffering of poor people there. this country is too big for him. who is this guy? he's so ambitious. my advise, learn more from the pros.

tell me guys, was it experience that led senator clinton to vote for a war in iraq, a war she is now against, was it experience that has put young and brave american lives at risk in the battlefield and may more at risk back at home bacause the iraq war has only fanned extremism and produced probably 10 more bin ladens and saddamus.

experience is what america does not need at this time, america needs difference, look where George Bushes experience took us in the economy and foreing policy,

work up! we are all doomed with these same old, very old washington strongholds.

BAD ECONOMY, ADMITTED DRUG USE,THE PRESIDENTCY, CHANGE I CAN BELIVE IN, YEAH RIGHT ! DISHONEST TO HOME STATE ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, YEAH RIGHT! GOT HILLARY?

NOW WE SEE THE REAL OBAMA THE GREAT DIVIDER! HE IS GOT THE RACE WARS STARTING AGAIN IN THE SOUTH GO OBAMA U MESSED UP AGAIN NOW THE CROSSES WILL BURN AN THE HATE CRIMES WILL REALLY START WHAT KIND OF CHANGE IS WHAT WE NEED TO ASK . AN ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH KNOW THAT EDWARDS IS THE TRUE RACEST THATS WHY WE DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM LAST TIME SO WHO CARES IF HIS SUPPORT GOES TO OBAMA! NOW THATS THE KIND OF CHANGE HE WILL BRING TO THIS RACE. HE HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH PLAYING THE RACE CARD THIS FAR AN DR. MLK WILL NOW TELL IT FROM HIS GRAVE. YES THE SONS OF SLAVES WILL HAVE THERE SAY AN ALL THE WORLD WILL KNOW HOW AFRICANS SOLD THERE OWN BROTHERS INTO SLAVORY NOT THE WHITE MAN AN HAVE COME BACK TO TAKE THE GOOD WHITE FOLKS WITH THEM THIS TIME IN A MIXED RACED MESS LIKE OBAMA. OH WE KNOW WHAT REALLY GOING ON TAKIN ALL THAT GOOD GOP MONEY THATS WHY ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTS HATE THE CLINTONS JUST LISTEN AT THERE COMMENTS ON THIS THING IT WILL TELL YOU JUST WHO THEY ARE ......... HILLARY THE NEXT PRESIDENT 08 WE GOT YA CHILD DONT WORRIE YALL KNOW WE IN THE SOUTH DONT FORGET WHAT YOU AN BILL HAVE DONE FOR US ... AND WE JUST HAD THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT BILL.........DAAAAAAAAH

YOU ALL WISH THIS WAS TRUE. LET US JUST WAIT AND SEE.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT POLLS AFTER NEW HAMPSHIRE. THEY DON'T MEAN A THING.
LET US WAIT UNTIL THE RECOUNT IN N.H AND SEE WHAT WENT WRONG. YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BE SURPRISED.
PROBABLY MORE FLORIDA PROBLEMS HUH?

The democrats will lose. They have set the standard that the only way to stop illegal immigration is that Americanns must starve. Because when people work and starve then illegals will not come. So now Americans get to starve and will not get a dime from me. You deserve this economy you made it with all the illegals.

Experience does matter. Without experience you can not effect change. We just need to recall what happened to Jimmy Carter. While he is a great humanitarian and diplomat he was not a great president, not even a good president and it was all because he lacked the experience. He was not prepared to step in on day one and effectively run the country. I voted for Jimmy Carter and I love and respect him even more today. I respect Barrack Obama and believe he can become a great leader and will one day be president. Our nation is currently not in a position where we can afford to have a president who is doing on the job training. It didn't work for Carter and it won't work for Obama. This doesn't mean he won't have a chance to be the Democratic nominee or that he wouldn't win a national election. It just means he might be set up to fail because he wasn't given the amount of time necessary to develop the skills and abilities to lead this nation now. Therefore the only logical candidate able to lead immediatley would be HILLARY CLINTON. She has the experience and the know how to take charge and pull us out of this mess we're in.

oh those clintons r greedy of power, and its so shame that they r quaralling for it like clildren

Very well said Jay!

Hillary Clinton '08

Very well said Jan!

Hillary Clinton '08

Go Hillary, the ordaz family from costa mesa ca. Is ready for a woman for president . I'm going to be so ptoud walking in the voting booth Febuary 2nd and voting for you. Keep me posted on the poles on the states.

Jay, please help out here? You think passing simple bills in the Senate qualifies someone to become president of the US? It takes leadership that BRINGS people together to resolve issues. If "passing bills" in the Senate is what counts as experience to lead such a complex nation, why not bring in somone like Ted Kennedy, Tom Dasher, McCain, Jay Rockyfeller,... Let us not be naive; the presidency is NOT about "poor old" experience– it is about getting the BEST in the nation to come together to work on real issues for the country.

After the national election, with her insulting strategies (as we have strated to see), how many republicans, democrats, and independents can this woman bring together to solve real problems for this country?

Indeed, I like and even love Hillary's experiences:
1. The experience of supporting a man who consistently breaks one of the basic and fundamental commandments of humanity (more so against women): "thou shall not commit... "No, I did not ....." A perfect line that will soon come up again!

2. The experience of securing health care for everyone since her husband first annointed her to undertake this task. All are now insured in the US, thanks HRC!

3. The experince of years in the Seante that has enriched America's lives. Let us face it, Senators may have more "impact" than the president; Hillary has been in that position far too long for each one of us to be enjoying her hard work by now; don't you think so? I am still seraching for her universal accomplishments!

4. Her experince of bringing real democrats, republicans, and independents together over the years to solve real problems for American.

5. Oh, what other experience should I be missing that has made a differenc in your own life? Please educate me!!!!!!

It is people like the 194 posters before me that are tearing this country apart.

We need Hillary as President! She is a very intelligent woman and will also have Bill there to help guide if needed. Say what you want to about Bill Clinton, but the man gave this country some of the most prosperous economic times ever! NOBODY CAN ARGUE THAT POINT AND THAT'S WHAT UPSETS THE EXTREME REPUBLICANS! The Republicans have never been able to run an efficient economy. I don't know why, but they have had chance after chance after chance. Give Hillary a chance and you will see that she can get this country turned around and include the middle class again as the backbone that makes this country go.
Thanks and God Bless you all. GO HILLARY 2008! NORTH CAROLINA LOVES YOU AND BILL!

Until recently, I thought that there was no way that the Democrats would fail to take the White House in 2008. Now I'm convinced that Barack is the only Democrat that stands a chance in the general election. If Hillary can so strongly alienate so many Democrats, just imagine how independents and Republicans will react to her. No wonder that the Republican brain trust is salivating at the prospect of running against Hillary.

Clinton's lead is what all the Republicans are "praying for right now. It is so easy for just about any Republican candidate to beat Hillary. Common sense tells us that teh Democrats are winning the largest group of Independents, for now, because of Obama. Soos, we will see something more that the "swift" boat attack!

How we wallow in issues such as "baby killers" versus "thy shalt not commit/support adultary." Do these really matter at this time of the game? The Democrats would need to deal with REALITY" Hillary is so diversive that she will drive the Indenpents back into the camp of someone like McCaine, as we saw in New Hamphare. This is the only chance the Democrats have to say NO to the Clinton dynasty for the sake of this nation. Vote simply for change, new experiences/opportunites to look at a new type of politics in Washington.

It has, and will ALWAYS take CHANGE to get what we want! So, your vote matters for Obama!

http://thomas.loc.gov/

There are all the records for the senators and congressmen.

In THIS 110th Congress Sen.Obama has submitted 63 Bills (not including amendments)
of the 63, 2 bills have passed

In THIS 110th Congress Sen. Hillary Clinton has submitted 90 Bills (not including amendments)
of the 90, 9 were passed

This is the same term mind you and she has much more experience in creating change. This also does not include the 2 other terms that Sen. Clinton has been Senator. This is the reason why america chooses her over Sen. Obama. She is more effective (and present for the big votes may i add)

PLEASE go and learn for yourself.

Mike Huckabee is the right man for the job! He's got my vote among many in my state and the list keeps growing! !!!!Huckabee-2008!!!!

Hillary is the only Democrat that Republicans can defeat, so it's very important that she get the nomination!! Go Hillary.

How is it possible for people to hold Obama responsible for something that the Clinton's said? It is truly amazing! The Clinton's are the ones who realize how easy it is to brainwash the uninformed. Wake up!

Ist the media stirs the pot
2nd the supporters blasts each other
3rd the candidates spar and exchange words
4th the supporters continue the bashing
5th the media stirs the pot some more
6th the candidates explain their position and their remarks
7th the supporters deny the truth(ALWAYS)
8th the media gains ratings and is laughing at everybody(all the way to the bank)

Poor misled people
We should demmand objective reporting to avoid this "Stirring the Pot" tactics by bias media coverage
Watch "Reliable Sources" on CNN and be sure to be objective or you miss the lessons in their reports and commentaries

"Empty vessels make the most noise. "

—– I like Obama but he does not have anything to show for his four years in the senate, missing important votes,etc..

"Slow and steady wins the race".
——Clinton has been campaigning since 2004.Her plans and goals are practical and achievable.

Go Hilllllllllary. !!

Has anyone made mention that the ABC poll ads up to 90% and the CBS poll ads up to 70%? I think some fuzzy math is going on here. I vote Obama.

A third party or an indipendent candidate -yet to be named – looks better and better.
Ron Paul is the only one that makes sense -when he does. Others are just saying whatever they think is the popular thing to say that day...and ROn doesn't have a snowball's chance.

Yes, Hillary's supporters must be very happy. But they should remember this also means they want to send a pervert back to the White House. Very disturbing.

Hillary is dishonest, and Obama is inexpierenced, its Mcain all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

Rock on Hillary!!

Barack is full of nothing but cheap talk. The sooner the media realizes this, the better off we'll all be.

How can he go around bragging about his stance on the war when in he wasn't even a member of Congress when it was being decided? How can he say he's been against it when he's repeatedly voted to fund it?

His popularity is nothing but bogus hype – and it'll disappear after Super Tuesday...

The question that needs to be asked is who truly is a Global leader... A world leader that has the ability to unite not only blue states and red states... but true global adversaries. This is what we need right now in Washington and it is best defined in the individual traits that simply draw you to the individual. Bill Clinton has this characteristic on the masses... I'm sorry but Hillary does not. She is polarizing which is the opposite of what is needed in the world today… We done a enough of that in the last 8 years. JFK had this trait which propelled him into office a very young age because the country was in need of change as it is today.

Today we're talking about Barack Obama because he embodies this leadership trait for change, unity and inspiration. It is this trait that has propelled him to the forefront of our minds, debate and consideration. It is simply because he has the ability to cross divides and inspire us to believe in the will of the people again. He endeavors to include us, and gives us a reason to believe in America again. Barack has my vote and I hope yours as well. We are in need of a true global leader…

Go Barack!

I am not a US citizen but I am closely following the elections. Its amazing how people are getting carried away by emotions rather than policy. I believe a country needs an experienced candidate as a presidnt. One who can understand economy, foreign policy and internal affairs. I am convinced Mrs. Clinton is the best fit. And for those who want change. How about electing a woman as a president for a "CHANGE".

Mrs. Clinton has experience; she is level headed, and has a solid plan to address the ills brought on by the fraud of a President named Bush. Baraca, drop off and support Mrs. Clinton. Let's make history, a woman President, a man as 1st person, and a former President as the spouse of the sitting President. You will have your time. Do some good things in life and gain experience. Now support her and you can cash in later. You can contribute now much better than trying to gain the nomination by supporting Mrs. Clinton.
.
I expect lot of good things from Mrs. Clinton: bring the economy back to what it was when Mr. Clinton left the Presidency, top of the world and in surplus. Looking forward to a better health care plan for all and addressing the gas crisis. How come the health care insurance companies and the oil companies in America are making profits in Billions. Both are not serving their customers. I also look forward to better support for education, students, and environments: better mileage cars, sun and wind tapping, pollution control etc. Compassion and toughness, Mrs. Clinton has both. I support her whole heartedly. Good Luck Mrs. Clinton.

The issues that we face today are a strange commentary on America. We have become beholden of our politician as if they were gods. We believe their sound bites and take the media spin as a truth. We as a people allow people to dictate our lives and the way we live them. I hope for change, I hope for a better tomorrow. The truth is America is beginning to fall and our apathy is part of the reason why. We must embrace change.

I AM SICKENED BY SOME OF YOU. Look At yourselfs reading the latest tickers to decide the value of a man. i am sickened to see that You are not ready for Obama to lead this nation. Its SAD to see that you are blind to the assaults the clinton campaign has laid upon obama. It sicken me that Obama is running the cleanest most respectable race here while your prejudices are trying to tear him apart to no avail.

Wait folks,

Which candidate has attacked the other's personal life? Pretty simple answer, huh!?

I pray Obama wins, but I think our Baby boomer's will have to pass away before they allow an African American become President. Our country tries to hide it's ugly racist practices(our Justice System) while telling people 18,000 miles away how to live in equality. We as a nation still have some growing up to do before all men are equal.

By the way, President Kennedy was the one who started the Civil Rights Act, Johnson signed it. Yes, under pressure from all communities.

Hi Rick, there were a lot of White people who were involved in that struggle as well. They risked injury and abandonment from friends for their support of the black struggle. We shouldn't "pretend" that people didn't use their status to help the cause. You shouldn't deminish the contributions of white Americans by skewing Sen. Clintons remarks to suit your agenda. It's insulting.

Barack Obama supports infanticide – i.e. he voted to kill fetuses (future children) that survived an abortion attempt.
45 million fetuses (future Americans) have been aborted since abortion has been made legal.
One wonders why people are arguing about Iraq and Afganistan when by far this is the greatest genocide against the American people.
45 million vs. about 5 thousand on 911?

If Hillary doesn't respond, they say that she can't handle the pressure.
When the "guys" gang up on her, they say she uses the gender card if she recognizes their tactics. If she stands confident, then they say Hillary is heartless. If She shows emotion, they claim she is weak. If she fights back, they claim she is racist.

It really doesn't matter what she does, there are those who will attack her regardless. And yet, she still remains in the lead.

Hillary is a true leader. She stands in the face of it all, and America loves her for it!

Hillary '08!

POLLS are meaningless at this stage. What you should be reporting on are the dirty tricks that the Clinton team takes from Rove's playbook. Report on the biggest stake in this election...the appointments of Supreme Court judges.

Obama Lovers are now getting upset because they see that Hillary's experience is what people want, not someone who can simply deliver a good speech. Be patient people, give the guy another 8 years to see how he develops. By then he would have gone through a presidential campaign and would have had to re-evaluate himself and could possibly be a better candidate for president. Until then, the choice is simple Hillary 2008!

Great entertainment – isn't it? He said – she said. A charge of sexism and then of racism. An arguement about the value of the polls and a question about one candidate's religion. One is too old to be right for the job and another has "limited" experience.

And when it is all over, will there be any change? Will it make any difference who receives your vote? We now have the worst President – ever! And we have the most inept Congress – ever! (And several leading candidates are part of that Congress)

It's like being on the Titanic and, virtually, everyone is in denial.

The Wars? What wars?
Loss in value of the dollar? Temporary – our government will fix it.
Loss of Individual Rights? Didn't notice any difference.

Don't bother me with these questions – I want to watch football. Well I want to watch the candidates fight.

Great Entertainment.

McCain is tough and has honor – those who name call on age are as desperate as Romney. Age/height, the "conspiracy in media," and the like are as founded as the color of one's skin, religion, and gender with regards to materiality of issues. Nothing more than desperation politics for small-minded supporters of others like Romney.

The fact that George Romney's own vice-governor supports McCain over the son of his parter speaks volumes that the "media conspiracy" did not fabricate. The same media that said how well Romney was doing in NH and Iowa this past summer.

People should vote for a candidate based on the positions the candidates takes on important issues, the details the candidate provides about what they intend to do in office, and the candidates history / track record.

To say you'll vote for Obama simply because he's not a Clinton or Bush is just about the dumbest reason I've ever heard to vote for someone.

OBAMA HAS NOT VOTED ON AN IMPORTANT ISSUE, WHO IN THE HELL IS THIS GUY?
HILLARY IS A HAS BEEN AND A SPIN OF HUBBY USELESS BILL!!
NO MORE UNCLE BILL PLEASE!!
VOTE HUCK!!
FAIR TAX!!
STAND UP AMERICA FOR YOUR FAMILIES!!!!!

More americans realized that experience is far more worth to be trusted that the promise of change....
Hillary.... your new president.....

I really wish that people would have factual information before they comment...I have read a few comments that have stated that Obama doesn't recite the Pledge of Allegiance and if you have read anything you will know that piece of information has been ruled completely false along with the fact that he does not recognize the flag....these are absurd comments and a little piece of advice from a 17 year old...read from reliable sources before you speak!

Democrats trying to disenfranchise minority voters(Nevada)? This is something I never thought I would have ever heard of in my entire Democratic life, but that is because it is UNHEARD OF. The reason we are seeing such strange behavior in this particular Democratic race is because WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America need to recognize that the Bush-Clintons are trying to create a type of political dynasty. For example Edwards and Obama are rivals and although they differ on many things remain civil but it is the Clinton camp keeps throwing all these vicious in the road. Down with the WASHINGTON HYPOCRISY NO MORE BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON-JEB BUSH? DYNASTY!!!

Old John Boy is way past his bedtime these days in this Campaign. The Old Soldiers' Home Harkins him with a Loud Call to Come Hither!

On top of it all, Mr McCain does NOT have the right stuff of Conservativism to deserve the Nomination in the Republican Party. Too many bad decisions and bad votes in the Senate closet with a bad record. The Poor Guy should have run as a Democrat, he could have beat them all in his younger days.

I really respect John for his Military Record and accomplishments, as I am also a Vietnam Combat Vet, and Retired Military Officer, but he would be dangerous for Republicans in Congress trying to get the right things done, with his Liberal attitude and alliances with Democrats.

Time to answer the Call of Taps now John, step aside and let a real Conservative steer the boat now. With all Due Respect for Senator McCain.

Looks like this is a hillary room. Obama haters, remember, republicans want Hillary to get the primary ticket. She is better choice to them to beat. Obama can bring more voters which is proven. Hillary is not likable. We are so emotional. We voted for Bush twice who we know is a dictator and lied about soooo many things. We should not give up on lady like emotion. Get realistic. Go for the real change. This change can be done by a new comer, not by another old people. They are sold to lobbyist. Again, wake up America.

Obama is playing the race card. He should stop, cause it shows bad character.
And isn't it the TRUTH that he used cocaine? It's not like anyone is making it up.
The Republicans will use this fact a lot, you can bet on it.

Democracy at work...

Yeah – I agree. There is no way that the majority of America will allow another Clinton (or Bush for that matter) to run this country for another 4-8 years. That would mark almost 3 decades of two families running the United States. The Clintons have had their day and that day has passed. Obama walks the walk – not just talks the talk as so many folks here are blindly claiming. I don't care about race, gender, or whatever – I'm a middle of the road, white, Democrat and I want a new approach in the White House. I'm sorry but I don't see the Clintons as the agents of change that so many Americans are calling for. Judge Senator Obama by his actions. He is a good man as demonstrated by his gracious defense of the Clintons today. That is the definition of a change in Washington: a humble and gracious gesture to defend the Clintons in spite of their attacks and distortion of his record. Well done Senator Obama. You are a true gentleman.

I don’t see a huge difference between Obama and Hillary’s positions on most issues and the changes they say they would like to make. With that in mind, I lean strongly towards Hillary because I feel her experience and track record are superior to Obama’s. What was Obama doing in the 90’s when Hillary was trying to bring universal health care to America? I do also feel Hillary has come across in the debates as having a better grasp of the issues than Obama.

I plan to vote for the candidate who I believe would do the best job, not for who I think has the best shot in the general election. Having said that, I do feel Hillary stands the better chance in the general election. Hillary may be afraid to bring up Obama’s admitted drug use, but you bet the Republican’s won’t have that same hesitancy. I really don’t want the president of the free world having a history of drug use (as Obama admitted in his book). Also, with the economy doing so badly, among this country’s other huge problems, I think the Republicans would rightly scare people away from voting for a candidate with as little experience as Obama. Once the media and the Republicans start to pick apart Obama like they’ve been doing to Hillary since the 90’s, Obama’s numbers will sink like a stone.

It is time that America wake up to the shame of a candidate Hillary Clinton is.

She suggests that her 35 years of making change is what we need. Let's take an honest look at her real lack of experience. Hillary is claiming the experience of her husband Bill.

Hillary has never accomplished anything remotely characterized as change. Where is the proof of her 35 years of making change?

It is her racist, same old crap campaign with its typical lip-service about change which she has never accomplished a thing.

I am bewildered that Black people in this country would still be so easily duped by the likes of Hillary Clinton and her ilk.

Her latest remarks regarding the accomplishments of the civil rights struggle which was finally put into law by LBJ only came on the backs and the deaths of many brave black American's who fought and struggled for those changes and because of Dr. King's bravery to challenge the U S Congress.

That is why LBJ was forced to act or he knew he was looking at another potential civil war.

I really can't believe the ignorance displayed by Obama supporters here. If you're making your decision to vote for Obama because of BILL Clinton's "scandal" then you really are foolish. If you hate the Clinton’s so much, why not vote for Edwards. At least he’s not a former drug addict.

Here's a sampling of other postings here from Obama supporters...

>>“I thought we Americans are more smarter than that”

>>“Personally I don't like to be lead but it appears we have more sheeps in America then any other country.”

>>“Time for dynastic politicss to come to an end on 1/20/09 ANYBODY BUT THE CLINTONS”

Wow! Guess Obama really attracts the cream of the crop when it comes to educated voters.

As an independent, I have made up mind and I will vote for Hillary Clinton. She has been the only candidate that has taken so much from the media now I think she could handle anything if she is elected. I was so frustrated when some one called her an old hag while there is more older candidates running for president in 2008. From all the candidates the media has not given her a fair chance, and she shows she is a fighter and does not give up, fighting all odds.

I like obama, he could possibly make a very good president... but not yet.

Putting it another way, if you or one of your family needed a life saving surgical procedure to-night, in whose hands would you put your trust? Would you choose the rookie to perform the surgery, or the one with a long and successful track record? As a country we have much more at stake, let's make a smart choice this time. Hillary Clinton will get the job done well, and restore our stature on the world stage.

I think this is good training for both Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton. You can bet the race and gender issue will come up a thousand times over when they run against the Republicans. You need to know how to take it and dish it back if you want to win against worse tactics than we're seeing now..That's why Kerry and Gore lost, pretending to take the high road gets you nowhere. I mean, it freaks me out but then, I don't have EXPERIENCE. By the way, experience will come in handy in fighting the Republicans. Experience will really come in handy in getting us out of this Bush mess, that in itself will be a "Change." The name Clinton is known, respected and liked in most of the world, and that's another way experience will help. Senator Edwards, I really like you too and I am sorry, you won't get my vote because you already lost once against the Republican machine. Senator Obama, I am going to dare say it. Ever since people compared you and Harold Ford, I couldn't STAND you. You came across as "pompous" , you gaze about the room as though you were Lincoln at the former Disneyland "Lincoln Speaks." I am Puerto Rican and far from being a racist, and I was floored with shock when the media kept touting how likeable you are. I think people are afraid to say negative things about you, including the media. So I am taking that step.....You're not like the Kennedy's or like Dr./ Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. That's like saying, I can imitate Whitney Houston's singing (I wish) and so I like Whitney Houston, can be a famous singer. Rev. King risked his life since early youth to bring about change. I had professors who still bore wounds from lunch counter sit-ins; they weren't great orators, but they were part of the action for change. Funny how no one thought you being compared to Dr. King was insulting.........

Where is Ron Paul in Ballot bowl 2008? Where are his highlighted video clips?
Why does CNN black ball him.

Hillary can't win a general election, there is too much anti-Clinton sentiment in the country. So vote for Hillary in the primaries and we will have a president McCain in 2008.

Polls are polls...caucuses are caucuses....but when it's you and your vote...you and the ballot...whether it's a primary or the general election...you can vote however you want and tell others something else....

Thus Iowa (precinct delegate vote w/ less privacy) didn't mean anything and New Hampshire (a popular vote measurement) shows what people really think...

Like then-Governor John H. Sununu once said: "The people of Iowa pick corn, the people of New Hampshire pick presidents..."

Although it would have been more accepting if he just said caucuses are not as telling as primaries...but you get the picture.

oh and everyone complaining about how shady politics can be....please grow up... it's nothing new, and it's not going to get old. Different strokes for different folks - Clinton is more suggestive in her comments, and Obama does things more subtly and then he later shows how he is taking the higher road. People eat it up.

This is nothing in comparison to what the general election will be like. Republicans have the upper hand since the Democrats are divided, and I'm sure they have plenty to raise against each Democratic candidate. Voters need to concentrate on who is more electable and qualified. Motivational rhetoric by male minority may make Democrats swoon, but it won't bring over Independents or Republicans that are on the fence, come general election time.

It really seems like it's easier to ignore the sexism in the anti-Clinton views than it is to key into or call anti-Obama views racist. Thus people openly bash Clinton and openly support Obama to not seem racist. I think that's a huge problem and people should just vote on hard facts, numbers, experience and qualifications. Whether it be Obama, Clinton, McCain, Romney, Paul, whoever...

Just because he looks different, is of a different age, has a different political history, appeals to us wanting something different, doesn't mean that he will be the one to make the difference the country needs. I don't get why people think he is the change that is needed... his team seems to be old Clinton supporters that were discarded and not asked to stay on board the Clinton machine...if anything the revamped Clinton machine is forward looking...and electable.

Although marginal - Clinton > Obama - McCain > Romney

anyway you all have time to read and make your secret vote in Nov. – do the right / more sure thing.

Lea, her track record may be longer as it should be considering she is about 15 years older than him, but she was supporting Goldwater in 1964, who was totally against the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. I'm glad she has come around since then, and I don't hold that against her since she was only 22 or so, but if the Democrats want the White House back we need a candidate that can win the Democratic vote, the Independent vote and the Soft Republican vote, which Barack has proved he can do in both the race in IA and NH.

Wow I get tired of hearing that Hillery has alot of experence she says 35 years. I wish she would tell us her experence, well lets see she was first lady for 8 years hmmm did that count if it did the chef can claim the same thing as alot of other people can do. Ok she was first lady in Arkansas when Bill was govener she can claim that time also but so can the chef. Then there was the Rose Law Firm lets see she really screwed up there. Oh and lets not forget she helped bail out Bill with all female trouble remember it was the vast right wing that caused all of it . We could go on and on but I think you get the picture, do you really want someone with all her baggage to be your president? hmmmm

Maybe this latest poll is accurate but I seriously boubt it. Hillary could be much more ahead or Obama might be the one leading. The reality is neither should be given the number one slot based upon a very small consensus...I hear how Obama is slicing away at Hillary's lead all the time but the truth is out of all the Hillary supporters I know not one has voiced their decision to switch to Obama. I think the media and their love affair with sensanual news has doon a disservice to all Americans whether being a Hillary or Obama supporter.

Judy,

Get real. As a staunch Democrat, I can tell you that initally I was for the war........and I am closely tied to the military and have been directly affected by this war. And, I support Hillary and her decision to vote to take down Sadam and go into Iraq (hindsight is 20/20) Can you actually say that you ALWAYS knew that we should have stayed out of Iraq? Really? Obama wasn't there to vote! Of course he is going to say (with that now 20/20 vision) that he would have voted against invading Iraq. PROVE IT! Show me some results OBAMA! All he is is talk talk talk...........lot of hot air. Show me the money!

Go Hillary!

Love these comments.. Not sure who I'm voting for yet (not sure which party either), I would like, however to not have my choice on the Republican side be John McCain.... He's just too old and tired. I often see him lose his train of thought mid-sentence. I wonder how much he really wants this.

I would like Huckabee to drop out, I don't want a minister to be the president....Just not right.

I like Guilianni the best, but not sure he really wants it either.... Whats wrong with Mitt Romney? I hope he wins Michigan.

For the Republicans- Mitt Romney

As for the Democrats- I think Hillary will make a better president than Obama.

Yea Hillary might make a great president, but me personally I don't think she can handy it all. I mean if she can take the pressure from a simple debate then just think what she will do when stuff begin to hit the fan if she's in office. That's why I think that Obama's the right choice for the American people. Yea it would be nice to have another Clinton in the White House, but come on we all know who will be behind the entire thing. All I can say is how every this thing may play it self out, I hope that Hillary or Obama win.

I really see Obama as the best choice for the nation. He's bright, articulate, able to bring people together and honest. He's NOT a power-hungry carpetbagger (Hillary has orchestrated every move in her life to become president-moving to New York to run for senator, sticking with Bill in what is most definitely a marriage of convenience for politics-sake, etc). She is willing to say whatever he needs to say to get elected. Obama isn't afraid to speak the truth–he admitted to smoking marijuana and moved on...he didn't try to say he "didn't inhale." He's on the right track with his fiscal policy–removing the huge and unfair tax breaks for the wealthiest 1%. I have no problem with a woman president. I think women in key positions can actually be very beneficial. We just don't need THIS woman. If nothing else she will DEFINITELY cause a lot of people to vote for the Republican choice.....based on the fact that many people dislike her that much. Lots of people dislike her vehemently. I see Obama and Edwards as a strong 1-2 punch....and I believe Edwards has been siddling up to Obama with that in mind. I respect McCain's straight talk but think he is a hot head.

i love OBAMA!

I can't believe these posts. Clinton is playing with all of your minds. She is the great divider. Most republican's hate her. she has 0% chance of becoming president if she wins the nomination or not.. Remember this while we watch another republican get sworn in as president. Be smart and vote Obama.

Give 'em hell. Hillary!

The last time I checked, the Constitution never declared the media as a candidate "decider," as in: Barack is inspiring, Hillary is so yesterday.

Hello! We're reasonably intelligent out here. Your bias is showing, big time. We have a vote, too. Remember? New Hampshire was the first shot. Get ready. There are more volleys on the way.

Sincerely,

Disgusted in Tennessee.

Obama needs to stop playing the race card!

I could vote for Hillary in categories like "Best Actress", "Most Likely to Say Anything to Get Elected, or "Most Apt to Misuse Power"... But for President of this nation...? FORGET ABOUT IT!

Have we forgotten about the scandal that surrounded Bill Clinton toward the end of his tenure as President? I do recall perjury and Obstruction of Justice being the issues. I am willing to bet that Hillary was very involved in helping Bill fabricate his approach since it was "their" presidency. That is certainly not the Presidential behavior I am looking for.

Case closed – Obama '08!

Wow kids and you call that a choice.The fix is in.

Is there a reason you absolutely refuse to give any coverage to Ron Paul? He is the only hope we have. Everyone else is simply pandering for votes. Dr. Paul is the only one with enough guts to say what no one wants to hear.

If you would publish information about someone other than the top 4, perhaps they could get some votes. The only candidate for CHANGE is Dr. Ron Paul. Why do you refuse to give him coverage? Each candidate should get an equal amount of coverage from all forms of media.

Polls are just how the question are asked nothing else. Let us not all fall for the old poll fairy tale again. I am a Hillary supporter but I am not taking my cues from polls. We hardworking "roll up our sleeves" and get it done women supporting Hillary know we need keep our eye on the prize not the polls.

I hope everyone read CNN's article about the candidates not talking about the war in Iraq while troops are dying overseas. If you read about 33% through it you would notice that the only person talking about Iraq is John Mccain. Mostly because everyone was saying "withdraw" but he said "send more troops". Something he had said for years. At the time is was political suicide. Finally "the surge" was given a chance and one could say we are now winning the war in Iraq. Whats pathetic is that Democrats almost hope we lose in Iraq to further their political agenda. Obviously im a supporter of John Mccain, not because I agree with all of his ideas but because it seems everything he accomplishes and tries to accomplish benefits America, even if it disagrees with his own party. So while people criticize all the times he has sided with Democrats and made proposals that at the time seemed ridiculous, I see those points as a positive exclamation that says "Im here to serve America, not politics".

A 5-point margin of error is ridiculous. The ABC/Washington Post poll should be ignored when there is a poll out at the same time with a 3-point margin of error (i.e., the CBS/NY Times Poll). A 5-point margin of error is huge statistically, and shows that the pollsters were lazy, poorly-funded, or wanting to skew the results in Obama's favor, or a combination of these three things. Thankfully, responsible pollsters are showing that Hillary is still well in the lead. If Obama became the nominee, it would be McCain 60%, Obama 40%, and only get worse from there.

I said after Obama won Iowa, McCain would surge on the Republican side - guess what? I was right! For you Obama supporters, let me explain why this is so. The Republicans have been scared s-less because they couldn't decide how they could beat the Clintons (they can't). But with Obama as the nominee, it's easy. Put the white, ex-military, ex-POW, multi-term Senator that everyone knows as the nominee, return him to his "maverick" status, and BAM- Obama's got nothing. Fortunately, there are enough Democrats left to know that we can't afford this rare opportunity to place the Clintons back in the White House, expand the majority in the House, and hopefully secure a fillibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

As for the Greg from Ohio, who said that Edwards's supporters would go to Obama- what planet are you on? He only has 11% of the Democrats now and Hillary has gained support as he lost support! Duh! Oh yeah, and the blue-collared and moderate part of the party is who Clinton has the majority of her support from now. So, why would Obama receive their votes? Of course, why am I surprised that someone from my old, loser home state of Ohio would say such a thing. These are the same people who thrived under Clinton, voted for him twice, then voted for "W" twice and lost what jobs they had left and became the foreclosure capital of America. Ohio's number one export is its educated children. Glad to say I got out of there!

I love Hillary

It is astonishing to me that a real attempt at minority and working-class voter suppression by Democratic supporters would not get more CNN coverage. The Nevada State Education Association, an affiliate of a national organization that endorses Senator Clinton, filed a lawsuit to remove caucus sites from places where members of the Culinary Workers Union work on the strip, only two days after that Union endorsed Senator Obama. Senator Clinton
has repeatedly failed to condemn the lawsuit and ask for it to be withdrawn, leaving the impression that she approves of this 11th hour attempt to disempower minorities and working class citizens simply because their choice is not her own. One could imaging her outrage if such a tactic were used on her supporters, and the press coverage CNN would give it..

Look at the facts people!! Hillary has a track record longer than Obama's in helping minorities, she has dedicated her life to these individuals and people are actually calling her a racist. This is the lowest of the low. You wanna see trouble put the "I talk about change and can fire up a crowd" talking candidate in office. Obama talks and talks and talks but says nothing.

Obama where is the beef??

Hillary 08'

I'll say again - if Obama is able to bring the country together why didn't he do so in order to get the Iraq War Funding bills with timetables for withdrawals passed through the senate. He had three opportunities and he never once led, formed a coalition, or effectively reached across the aisle.

He is empty, a ghost - there's no there there. Inspiration is a vital leadership quality, but only if it is supported by action and only if it is effective. If Obama thinks republicans are going to vote for him when he is pro-choice, wants to raise social security taxes, wants universal health insurance and to end the Iraq war - he is the most naive person running.

Hillary is an agent of change, an effective leader, and will do more for the poor and middle class than any president in the last 60+ years.

AMERICAN'S UNITED 1-2-3 END THE
CLINTON-BUSH DYNASTY !!!! FOOD FOR THOUGHT SR BUSH AND MR. CLINTON HIMSELF ARE GOOD BUDDIES. END IT! IT HELPS THE RICH, AND DOESN'T HELP THE MIDDLE WORKING CLASS!!! 1-2-3 END THE CLINTON-BUSH DYNASTY!!!

Is Hillary going to cry her way to the White House?

Hillary side started this race issue, come on people we are at dangerous times, need a strong person to deal with dictators, and do not need status quo politics. so I am saying si se puede, yes we can, go Obama, Obama, Obama

How well have polls told us what is going on so far? Iowa and New Hampshire polls didn't end up having to do anything with the election results. I guess I'm pretty young for politics (16 yrs), but most of what I've learned recently is to never trust polls. Voting demographics change too much.

its time to regain some decency in American politics, obama 08!

I don’t see a huge difference between Obama and Hillary’s positions on most issues and the changes they say they would like to make. With that in mind, I lean strongly towards Hillary because I feel her experience and track record are superior to Obama’s. What was Obama doing in the 90’s when Hillary was trying to bring universal health care to America? I do also feel Hillary has come across in the debates as having a better grasp of the issues than Obama.

I plan to vote for the candidate who I believe would do the best job, not for who I think has the best shot in the general election. Having said that, I do feel Hillary stands the better chance in the general election. Hillary may be afraid to bring up Obama’s admitted drug use, but you bet the Republican’s won’t have that same hesitancy. I don’t have a problem with recreational drug use, unless it’s the president of the free world who’s been smoking out. Also, with the economy doing so badly, among this country’s other huge problems, I think the Republicans would rightly be able the scare people away from voting for a candidate with as little experience as Obama.

Sorry Obama (and your cult-like supporters), but I am voting for Hillary!

I find it surprising that Hillary supporters are looking at this poll as a victory. On the contrary. Barack Obama has completely erased her huge lead from 20 points a month ago to 5 points within the statistical margin of error. Essentially they are tied. Hillary is losing ground and that is the only thing that recent Democratic national polls are showing.

Amen to Jack,
He said the truth on cafferty . Barack did NOT REPEAT did NOT run a or have not ran race campaign . Hillary Clinton is the one been talking , As well as Bill ,
It's very simple . The truth coming out about the Clinton's all these years said there for Black men and women's , When they lose the push the truth all along . OK racist all along . We are just now seeing it because now Barack in this race for president . Sad Because i supported Bill . Now the light open my eyes.
Even if Hillary win . This girl will not vote this year .

All you obama supporters need stop acting like he is such a saint. He's so "honest". Our current president got Cs in government courses. Now you all want to vote for a pothead, inexperienced president??? C'mon it's bad enough that a lot of people voted for Bush twice so he could be president for 8 yrs!!! I bet you obama supporters are those exact people who voted for Bush. I can tell b/c yet again you all are making a wrong decision. Letting yourselves gat sweet talked into voting for him. Well I won't be fooled Hillary for '08!!!

In my opinion I think it would be DEAD WRONG to vote for someone who is so green to this whole thing. Obama does not have the experience nor the support to lead this great country of ours. Hillary has been there for us through thick and thin. She addresses problems nobody else cares to, and acts on them! Among all the politicians out there can you name me one other person who has addressed something and acted on it? I didn't think so. All we hear is talk, Hillary has shown us that actions speak louder than words. Hillary has always moved forward with her plans instead of just talking about them.

Also, I could NEVER vote for someone who refuses to say the pledge of alligence. Our men and women are overseas fighting for the freedom we have to say such a pledge! He does not believe in saying "one nation under God"! That is the grounds that our contry was founded on! How can Obama call himself American???

***************HILLARY 2008******************

What about Ron Paul? Come on people, everyone says they want "change" and Dr. Paul will give it to America. He stands for lower taxes, smaller government, protecting our OWN borders and people, rather than the rest of the worlds. He wants to bring our troops home from Iraq so that this country does not continue to get deeper in debt. Borrowing money from China to fund the war in Iraq is ludacris. No matter what poltical party you belong to, you can see that.

As a young person, I support Dr. Paul, because I am tired of giving my money to the government for "social security" that I will never see again. I am tired of big government investing MY money and using it to fund their absurd pensions. The bottom line is that the government is inefficient and it must change now.

As Americans, we should not vote for the candidate that is the best-looking, or the most suave debater. Or just vote for them because they are black, or a woman. We need to seriously evaluate each candiates views and then place our vote. I feel that too many in my generation have no clue what each candidate stands for and just vote by what they hear in the media. We must so our own research! This is an important election that will effect our generation greatly. Do we want to inherit out nations debt, no social security, and unsafe borders? NO!

Now is the time for change.

If Obama's behavior durit the campaigning is any indication of his strategy to bring people together, we are in serious trouble! Now he's playing the race card? Against a candidate who has a demonstrated track record of supporting equal rights and opportunities for minorities? WOW, this is more evidence of his lack of experience playing in the big league.

I am a very staunch republican and believe strongly in what they represent. If these polls are correct I will not vote for John McCain if he gets the nomination. I live in Arizona and have seen first hand his tolerance for Illegal immigrants and his lack of courage to do something about the situation. His partner in this all along has been the Gov. of Arizona Janet Napolitano and she has failed to do anything about this problem. If immigration is such an important topic for my fellow Americans than I suggest not voting for John McCain based on his record with illegal immigrants or his lack of dealing with illegal immigration.

"Empty vessels make the most noise. "

-– I like Obama but he does not have anything to show for his four years in the senate, missing important votes,etc..

"Slow and steady wins the race".
--Clinton has been campaigning since 2004.Her plans and goals are practical and achievable.

Go Hillary. !!

The golden state has your votes!!!

Hillary 08'

If people want change, don't vote Hillary. Hillary is the opposite of change, the white house needs new blood, its as simple as that. For the past 20 years (24 if you count Bush senior as vice president) its been bush/clinton/bush/clinton? Do people really want another possible 8 years of clinton? Its frightening........ Obama for 08' please.

Time to scrap the 22nd Amendent so that George W Bush can run for a third term. Right, I've got that off my chest. Now it's back to the asylum for me. Ta, ta.

To those who bashed Clinton because of how she wins Hampshire and the polls didnt make sense at all, well lets see how you guys react if Obama wins the nomination while the National Polls says otherwise!!! But hopefully it wouldnt come to that, coz Hilarry would be the best president for America. And if Obama wins it, I'm voting for the Republicans(hopefully its McCain tho) cause we can't afford another in-training president.

Dear American Friends…

It is obvious from up here in CANADA we do not get the political spin Americans get on their news. From an unbiased point of view it is also clear that the Clinton's are trying hard to spin "in" the Race card without saying it, because saying it would be taboo... The planted race comments is called REVERSE PHYSOCALOGY we use it on children to get them to think they thought of it… funny the way the media jumps on these political maneuvers.. The Clintons want people to know Obama is BLACK and will be a BLACK president.... The fact is the Clintons ARE in bed with the same old Washington corruption and will stay this way..... Please my friends look beyond the flag waving and see your country is no longer respected around the world and your government is lieing to you while you go broke and the big companies get richer… Truth is in Canada we get the News that is NOT owned by a private company that is owned by a political party friend... so if this note gets posted I will be so surprised..

Truly
Brad

You know i'll be honest with everyone who chose to post a comment...i would like to see a woman for a chance run the country...but honestly i don't think hillary clinton will be the one...i truly believe her and her husband have a hidden agenda...everything about her rubs me the wrong way...i fear for obama...as much as i love him...i fear for his life...when i first heard him speak...i said this man will be president...and then that though quickly changed to the minute he came out and spoke,i believe there are powers that are plotting to kill him...women wanna see a woman in charge...i don't blame you one bit,but please don't let that feeling and thinking get in the way of choosing the right president...again i don't think its her...people should also do a little research before voting...the clintons are almost as ruthless as the bush family...please do your research and homework,and always remember the only reason these people exist is because of us the people...we have the power to change the world...not obama,not hillary,not mccain or any politician...

Unfortunately, by the time we get around to voting on May 6, America will probably have given us two nominees that represent all that is wrong with Washington – Hillary the Carpetbagger and John "One Foot in the Grave" McCain. A change is needed from both parties from the politics of the last 20 years, ever since Ronald Reagan left Washington, and neither of the front-runners, nor any candidate in the Democratic Party, will give us the change that the country needs.

What we need is a return to Constitutional principles without the pandering to the Fundamentalist wackos that have brought the Republican Party and the nation to the brink of ruin. A change to the Democrats will only spend us into oblivion faster, as none of them has a clue in how the country works nor how the private sector, not the public one, holds the salvation of the nation. Government has never created a job, never produced a viable product, nor ever had to answer to shareholders, so it definitely scares me, as a libertarian-conservative, to see too many willing to hand over 1/6 of our economy to a group that can't defend the borders, can't fix the roads, and can't keep criminals off the street (all Constitutional responsibilities).

All I'm hoping for is a chance to vote for a real change back to what made America great, belief in her people, ALL of her people, on May 6.

Washington Post: McCain Moves Into Lead; Obama Gains on Clinton
The first contests of the 2008 presidential campaign have led to a dramatic shake-up in public opinion nationally, with Sen. John McCain now leading the Republican field and Sen. Barack Obama all but erasing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's once-overwhelming advantage among Democrats, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
*********************************************************************************
who should we believe. wait a minute, this is cnn?

I truly believe the nation as a whole has been given one more chance to set things right - with a Democratic president named Barack Obama. If the presidental race is thrown to the Republicans because of Hillary's stupid "want to win at any cost" remarks about LBJ and MLK , I swear I'm going to switch my affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

DEMS, PLEASE DON'T MESS IT UP THIS TIME!!!!

Go Obama '08.

You bet I'm tired of these polls. You are all trying to push Hillary and Obama down our throats. There is still one more candidate running on the Democratic side and at least three on the Republican side.

You have already run off three of the Democrats and one of the Republicans . . . when are you going to stop telling us how we should vote? We are still living in a free country (at least as free as Mr. Bush will let us) and we WILL vote for the person that we feel is the right person to lead us out of this unholy mess we find ourselves in.

By the way, why don't you have a poll about how many of us would like to abolish the electoral college and just have popular vote??? If that had happed in 2000, we would now be saying "President Gore".

Obama is our only chance at real change.
Hillary has taken a lot of money from the corporate world and from professional lobby fund raisers.
Do we really want the same family in the white house after throwing out the other family on the republican side.( I cannot even say their name)
Obama is going to try to bring the country together, just like JFK

Are these the same polls that showed Obama wiping out Hillary in New Hampshire? And if they are, can't we pretty much figure that they are great works of transitional fiction?

McCain=angry and trigger happy.
God help us!

The analysis of poll is biased toward Clinton. This is not good news for you Clinton supporters... Her lead in this poll continues to tank.. She used to have a strong double digit lead, now her "lead" is within the margin of error.

The only thing national polls are worth in primary races are to tell us the overall noational trend from one poll to the other. The trend is overwhelmingly for Obama and McCain.

I agree, I would like to see Clinton v. McCain. I think of all of the combinations, this would make the most sense. Obama is all fluff. Go HIllary!

Honestly, Do you think if Hillary is elected any middle eastern country is going to take us seriously? Its the sad truth, but its the world we live in. They will see it as a sign of weakness. For god sakes she started crying because she was under pressure for what ever reason. This is not Kumbaya time the stakes or high and we need someone that will not flinch under pressure. I don't want to hear about experience anymore. Look what it got us for the last 20 years, the laughing stock of the world.

The people who had experience drag in to personal war. Bush basically used the USA's military to solve personal conflict with sadam as Bush said sadam tried to kill my dad. With the money we spend in iraq we could have caught Biladen that was the right war. Now these same people who voted for Bush are critical of choosing a good leader. What a shame these people are far sofisticated than bush, any one of them is Good. If you elect bush shame on you if you question any of these candidates.

What really amazes me in all this, is how Obama responds to criticism. His entire campaign (and now with the help of his lackey, Edwards) he has done nothing but sling mud and make untrue commments toward Clinton. But everytime someone points out his faults and distortions, it's "Oh my! All they can do is attack me and not offer anything positive." This man is the most plastic politician of them all. I'd vote for Mike Gravel before I gave Obama my vote. Hillary may have shed tears, but Obama's whining tells you a whole lot more about where we'll be if he wins the nomination.

Hillary WILL pull through for us. I agree, Obama's supporters are the ones who are "splitting" the party. Spewing hatred is not a value that the Democratic party is founded on! Come on, unite around a leader who will WIN in November!

I'm sick of moronic democrats proclaiming how experienced Hillary is. Being first Lady does not give you credible experience, she was only elected in 2000! Granted Obama was elected to the US senate in 2004; however, that was after serving 8 years as a state senator.

Go McCain

Democrats, this isn't rocket science: Who owns the media? The Republicans, right? ...Okay, who does the media hate? ...Hillary Clinton, right?

Now, do you want four more years of Republican lies, wars and watching the rich get richer?

If the answer is "no," then don't you want the candidate that the Republicans hate?...I do!... Why? ...Because she is obviously NOT willing to play ball with them.

Ask yourselves why the Republican-owned media isn't hitting Obama everytime he opens his mouth. Why? ....Because they aeren't worried about Obama; they are only worried about Hillary.

Get a grip, Democrats! This isn't about race and it isn't about gender. It is about nominating the candidate who can beat those fools in the White House next November. Please God, no more Republicans for awhile!

You know it was nearly 8 years ago when we found out the biggest reason that people voted for Bush over Gore was because he was likeable alhough the same people admited that Gore had their confidence that he was the more expeirenced. Yet once again people are going to vote for some one they say is again more likeable it seemed to prove that the last 8 years of Bush was the biggest mistake voters made. I too am tired of these Democrats for trying to divide derail one another by the way of visious attacks, and let me say it seems they have come more from Sen. Obama and Sen. Edwards and against Hillary yet everyone seems to beive Hillary is to blame when she comments or respond to their attacks. You know you once again need to all realize what a pivital moment we are facing and set aside personal differences. Hillary is the one who can not only Win but who can once again bring prosperity to all Americans. You may not like her but once again we can ask our selves "Are you better of than you were 8 years ago?" The answer to that for I think most if not all of us is "hell no"

Go Obama- its time! you and Edwards lead us into the direction of a strong dollar, affordable healthcare, inexpensive yet viable education that relevant to produce jobs or job creators, and get us the hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan, bring our troops home! HillBillary Clinton is just that Bill in a dress, so yesterday! And McCain, hell he might not make it thru a presidency, seriously, that dude should be at home with his great grands! Go Obama–Im a white middle class Republican in Maryland and I believe in the good Sen. Obama!

All of the canidates with the exception of John McCain and Ron Paul are bought and paid for. Do not let anyone fool you.Bring this country back to greatness and vote for John McCain. He WILL make Washington an unpopular place for corupt politicians and lobbyist that have weakened the people of this counrty and empowered the already mega wealthy. JOHN MCCAIN 2008 !!!

I like seeing that Obama is closing the gap nationally and is now leading in South Carolina and Nevada.

Obama has the ability to inspire. The only thing Hillary inspires is more divisiveness in this country.

MCCain v. Clinton will be a great race.
Hillary will win it.

Americans u need Hillary. se will be a great president for your nation- NOT OBAMA. Denmark

STOP THE WITCH HUNT: I am a woman, I am an african american woman. STOP this insane effort and notion that all women are for Hillary. Are you insane really to think that all women are for Hillary and that Hillary is the best nominee because she is a woman.
God Help us with this type of sterotype thinking America. I don't care if Hillary is a woman, white, married to Bill, got screwed by Bill, showed a bit of emotion, so what. My question is what is she going to do for this country – not just women. Have you all forgotten Hillary is not first woman to run for President, Obama is not first black man to run for President??????
The question is, who is going to be for Americans and not just rich but all of us?? You be the judge but please stop putting me in the same class as all women for Hillary.

I think it would be great if Hillary and McCain were running mates. I think they'd make a great pair in the White House.

I really doubt Hillary will win Florida. She needs to learn how to choose her words wisley, with all the "experience" she has i would think she would know thatby now. She hurt her vote with African Americans with the who LBJ speech. And i dont really think LBJ wrote up the bill he signed (she needs to do research). But anyway we dont need a person who has been in the white house, period. Once they return they pick up bad habits again. Hillary preaches for change but as the first woman she really didnt get what she promised medicare done.

Alot of people ask "are you voting for Obama because he's black" but the real question is "Are you not voting for him because he black?" It shouldnt be about race. I think gender is a valid point. If a woman can not fight for her country on the front lines ( Marine Corp) then how can they run it. They dont know what men out on the line to stay alive in war zones. They go on assumptions. Im not sexist, i feel no nation will take a woman seriously. And to prove her strenght she will risk thel ives of our men in the military.

Clinton v. McCain–that's a race I'd love to see.
Go Hillary!

I used to like her, but this campaign is making me hate Hillary. She is Tracy Flick from Election, who would do anything to win. She is a polarizing figure that shows her desperate ambition to be on top. She will be another politican and will not be a unifying force in the nation.

People People we must not think about race at a time like this , we need
someone that cares for the people, bring these soldiers home 8 years is enough
of being some where you are not wanted, talk about high taxes,gas prices ,
helping people keep their homes , putting money in America helping all states.
why should Bill be making any comments, he's not in the race, Mrs Clinton slould
not attact another Democrat. Think About it.

Re: Carrie from Canada (a correction and response)

As a fellow Canadian I would remind you that Canada has never elected a female Prime Minister. Kim Campbell served very briefly as Prime Minister after her selection as leader of the Conservative Party at a closed party leadership convention. When she subsequently led her party in the general election it was trounced and reduced from a majority to a mere two seats (fifth among the five major parties). This spectacular defeat was more of a reflection on the public's frustration with former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's two terms in office than a negative rebuke of Kim Campbell's. However, there is no evidence to support the claim that the Canadian electorate is any more enlightened or any less sexist than the American one. It is embarrassing when shrill and ill informed Canadians purport to be more progressive than their American cohorts. Come on Carrie, do your research!

Also note: Americans may simply find Barack Obama more inspirational than Hillary Clinton. This is not necessarily a function of sexism. It would be ridiculous to suggest that African Americans are any more (or less) marginalized than (white) women. Both women and African Americans continue to face immense systemic barriers in American life. It remains to be seen whether the popularity of Barack Obama (or Hillary Clinton) will translate into a new America. However, one thing is certain: Canada has never elected a leader of the caliber of Barack Obama (with the possible exception of the late great Pierre Trudeau). On this occasion, Canadians ought to be inspired by our American neighbors and supportive of the democratic spirit (rather than petulant and negative). Come on Carrie, show some class!

If Canadians and other friends and allies hope to see the democrats back in power, we ought to support the progressive elements of the American electorate (instead of insulting it and beating our own purportedly more progressive chests). We would also be wise to remember that Canada recently elected a neo-conservative leader in Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his conservative government. Come on Carrie, get real!

The only area in which the Canadian electorate has a genuine claim to superiority over the American electorate is in the area of election spending and campaign finance. Canada has traditionally enjoyed greater success (although never complete success) in curbing special interest lobbying and influence peddling in federal election campaigns. Barack Obama (as well as John Edwards and John McCain) are right to raise this issue in the primaries. Good luck America! Reasonable Canadians are supporting your efforts.

It really doesn't matter anymore who we vote for. CNN and other news media choose our candidates for us. Both Hillary and Obama have taken money from Time Warner. A company who owns CNN, and thus have received more time on their debates as well as media culture then anyone else in the race towards the Presidency.

What cracks me up is all of the anti-republican nonsense posted by the Hillary supporters. I guess that's why the owner of the Fox News Network, Rupert Murdoch, holds fundraisers for her. She's just another bought and paid for professional politician that will take money from the devil if need be. If democratic values include taking money from the likes of Murdoch, count me in as an independent.

I don't rust both CBS and CNN's poll. Both of these polls Obama down in Iowa and Obama up in Hew Hampshire.

Go RON PAUL !

tommy you need to get a life. We all have lives. We believe in the constitution and bill of rights? Do you ? What is wrong with supporting someone who looks out for us Americans?? Go Ron Paul. He is the only voice of change. Not a puppet. PeacE to you all

It looks like the voters are finally starting to see and figure out Mr. Obama for exactly who he is. GO HILLARY!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Who it their right mind would vote for Hillary??? It’s amazing how many weak minded, uneducated people there are out there that are so easily brainwashed by the Clintons.

I've lost confidence in any so-called political poll without a sample size in the thousands.

Polling doesn't elect – only actual votes do!

Whatever the outcome of the primaries and general election, I hope that all of you who have left comments here actually VOTE!

HILLARY....OFCOURSE!!!!!

Go Hillary!!!!! I am so glad you don't read the comments from these negative people. They must love the economy as it is today.... (lol)

Obama and Edwards should team up and stop this madness. I think the scary thing is that Edwards is splitting the vote for change.

If Hillary gets the nomination, this country is in for major problems. I do think this country wants to change the nature of politics and see new inspirational politicians again, but there's still this portion that is in love with the Clintons. They had their chance, ran the country for eight years, we should go beyond Bushes and Clintons for a while and get some fresh leadership.

Edwards appeals to a portion of the democratic party that hasn't gotten on board with the Obama train. Unions and such. This portion still realizes the dangers of a Hillary nomination. I think an Obama / Edwards ticket should be constructed to assure a loss of Hillary in key states and a nomination, which would stand the best chance of resulting in the presidency.

I'm going to be honest Obama will not win because the U.S will not have a black person as president there still alot people not ready for that. my view is not what color he is but his inexperience for the job.

Someone said Hillary has "pulled ahead." HAHA, Obama has caught up to her, after being 20 points behind in NATIONAL POLLS. He'll win this thing, I'm sure of it. Obama 08!

The polls are as flexable as the voters.

realclearpolitics.com Show Obama ahead in Nevada – thats not important.

To go out and Vote is.

For more of the same, or a Change, as defined by Bill in 1992

Hillary said JFK was hopefull of passing the civil rights act.

Early this month, she said people can't depend on hope, but hard work.

People are hard at work, For Lesss.

Obama has a vision that's built on the hopes of all america, wanting change.

Bill in 1992, said "the same old experience is not relevant"
Bill did not bring, his supporting cast brought change, His Administration of Thinker.

Hillary Voted for Two wars– iran and iraq – Same old experience

Not relevant – no lessons, no learning took place, Same results

Want Change – You want Obama 2008, His administration shall bring change surrounding his and Americas people hope of a brighter day.

Of course you can have a divider and Hillary's complaints of 16 years of GOP attacks.

We need someone who is focused on the "NOW"

Same old experience .... No Way.

Nobody wants a new configuration of the Clinton and Clinton co-presidency
of the '90's. Change means CHANGE...not nostalgia for more of the same.

GO HILLARY!!!!

I am very surprise to hear people said , i dont like the Clintons ,is fine but look back 7 years ago how this country was.
You elect a president that many people said he is not that smart, but he is a nice honest guy. Can you say that today ? . He is not smart, he is not honest, and he is not that nice guy, you though He was. Do you want to make same mistake, elect nice guy, what is his experience ? what his track record is.
I have to be realistic, we need experience, expertise and vision.

(in response to Christys "change is voting for the first woman president in US history")

Hey Christy, Change is also voting for the first black president in US history.

Perhaps you should vote on the issues, and not the sex OR race of the candidate. But, alas, intelligence has never been a requirement for the right to vote...

As a white/male/formerly republican/now independent – I'm voting for Obama. I remember the Clinton years, and can identify patterns – I see absolutely no change in Hillary, so why should I believe she can affect change?

God help us when people argue about candidates (Dems or Repubs) and can't even spell correctly! Get over these polls folks, they don't mean much at this point (did everyone forget New Hampshire)!

John – I think these polls are accurate too! They show a slip of 11% for Hillary from last polling and an increase in 14% for Obama!

If you've been paying attention, this poll is actually indicative of a very bad downward trend for Hillary!

Hillary has been campaining since 2004. For someone who had a head start of 4 years to still not have the kind of lead we expected will never win. Its very simple, we are not ready yet for a woman president. Question now is are we ready for a black president? Better question would be are we ready for a woman and black man team as president and vice president??? Problem with America is we put our faith in the hands of either a party or the like of a candidate rather then true values of our leaders. Whats wrong if you both for dem and rep at same time as long as you think those leaders can make a difference in the world. Personally I don't like to be lead but it appears we have more sheeps in America then any other country. VOTE on values rather then a persons skin color or gender!

Hillary and Bill are just plain scary. They are the only 2 politicians that are able to insult the intelligence of the american voters and expect a round of applause from them. Now Hillary and Bill are both the victims. Very strong Presidential behavior .Bobble Heads of the country unite.

i might add i only vote once... it was my mom tears why i went ...i will not do it agin i don't believ in politics

Mr. Obama split the party? Nope. Mr. & Mrs. Clinton did that with their policies. If Mrs. Clinton is the eventual nominee, my choice will be easy once again. Third Party.

Until we take the party back from those who gave us 'Don't Ask-Don't Tell (disaster), NAFTA & other free-trade policies (double disaster), banking deregulation (can someone say sub-prime?), welfare reform (disaster in the making–watch what happens in 2008), etc. etc. etc.–the Democratic party will continue to be little different than the Republican Party.

Edwards? Yep, I'd vote for him. Obama? You bet. Clinton? Never again.

I can't believe that anyone would vote for Clinton simply because she is a woman. Would they also vote for Liz Dole? She is a woman too, and has more experience than Clinton. What surprises me is that women want Hillary to be treated just like a man but then overlook her more conservative stances (or non-stances)–and voting record on many issues–just because she is a woman. It is equally idiotic to vote for a candidate because they are black, when Alan Keyes will govern far differently than Obama, but they are both black.

If Clinton manipulates the women of this country into electing here because she is a woman, and she gets a pass on her issue stances, it will be a great dis-service to all Americans, and Democrats will not get another choice for eight years. A rational voter would look at the candidates issue positions, and vote accordingly. If women want to overcome their stereotypes of being too emotional and irrational, voting for a candidate simply because she is a woman is certainly NOT going to help.

Please, vote for the candidate based on their issue positions and not their race or gender. If any women actually looked at what hillary would do (that is, when she gives her positions), they would see that she is not a Democrat, she is a conservative leaning moderate just like her husband. She does not line up with the Democratic party is America any more than Rudy does, but she will probably get elected because she is a woman and Americans (yes even Democrats) are stupid!!!

I think these polls are accurate – Hillary Clinton for President!

You Hillary Lovers, I can't wait until you fall out flat, Then we will all see who is crying. The clintons are so fake, they we say one thing today and tomorrow claim they don't main it that way. I thought we Americans are more smarter than that, but recent news make me think underwise.
Hillary won't last a day agaisnt the Rep. Some people need brain transplant before they can figure out that simple sense.

As a Canadian watching the presidential (08) race unfolding...i find the comment by bob johnson...stupid...infact he himself sound silly and people like him make black people look stupid...i wonder what he was doing in the corner of his street as a teenager... all teenager make mistakes...(old cout....) make me sick...

Can someone please explain to me why I should even care about this new poll? Look at the democratic polls going into New Hampshire, and then look at the results. I am very skeptical of these polls providing even semi acurate results at this point, and especially with 5% margins of error.

If she wins, general election is coming so watch what you are accusing Obama of, while the republican party can win an election without the black votes, the democrat can not.

I'm a white, male, Southern Republican. If Ron Paul doesn't get the Republican bid, I'll vote Democratic. If Barrack Obama doesn't get the Democratic bid, I won't vote at all. There's just no one else out there.

When President Clinton was in Office, he did a great Job in Leading the Country, Balancing the Budget, and Unifying the People, despite the Moral Problems had while in Office. (Great Democratic Leader) His Wife Hillary on the Other hand is now running for President. She has shown great leadership based on her experience as Senator. I had Intentions of moving in her direction with my vote, but I can now see her prospective of demeaning a leader like Dr. Martin Luther King. Some additional explanation should have been uttered after the statement she made. I am now leaning towards Senator Barak Obama, who I believe is capable of Unifying all race, White men & Black men, Jews & Gentiles, Prodestine & Catholics, Republicans, Democratic, and Independents, for a worthy cause of moving this nation forward. Little by Little his momentum in the polls is catching up the Clintons, and I believe Obama will pass Hillary in the National polls as well.

I now believe that Obama's Progress Speaks Great Leadership. He has great qualities that can unify a people, a nation, and the entire United States. His Experience will come when he is picked to become the next President of the United States, and all we will be able to do is rally behind him in support of his Great Leadership.

I also see that former President Clinton is using different tactics to Cause Obama to get off of his Strategy, but it will not happen. I think Clinton's plan will bounce back in his face. I now see him as the true Fairy Tale....

Barak Obama – 2008

You blew it Hillary, Sit Bill Clinton Down.

can anyone tell me exactly WHY they hate the clinton's so much? what have clinton's done that many other poltiticans haven't done or do? for some reason it's just viewed more negatively when the clinton's do it and there's this whole clinton-nashing bandwagon that people like to jump on.

let's see..what i remember from the clinton years was that we had an economic surplus, after reagan threw us into deep debt with this his very unconservative-like enormous spending. they also got rid of welfare for all of you democrat-haters and ended the ethnic cleansing in kosovo. did the clinton's do anything to tarnish this country? no; everyone must admit that the clinton years were good.

everyone likes to portray them as dishonest and power hungry, but even if they are, you still have to look at the things that they did for this country. the clinton's are more moderate and at least we know what to expect from them. for all you know barack will turn the u.s. into a welfare state. who cares about their motive as long as they do good for the american people. no one's broken the law, been more corrupt, or ruined this nation like bush. and didn't he promise to be a "uniter, not a divider" and didn't he win the election because of his supposed likeability and better personalty than gore? and he too wasn't a part of the "washington establishment."

barack was in the state senate for 8 years; he's just as entrenched in political games as anyone else, yet he doesn't have the knowledge or experience to be able to naviagte washington, bring others to his side, and enact change. by the way, all presidential candiudates promise change, and having a different person and administration in the white house IS change, so what's the big deal about "change"? and what change do you think you are going to get?

and speaking of dishonesty, do you know what hillary told a gathering of high-profile ceo's and wealthy indiviuals this past year at a meeting on her running for president? she told them "I'm going to raise your taxes." and do you know what they did? they applauded her.

We definitely need a woman president that will be cleaning up a man's mess. By healing a divided nation since 2000 with a tight grip on her "momma's paddle'. Some boys can be war-freaks you know. And we certainly don't need another man for president who changes his mind once in office especially regarding legislations on war-funding. Now who's the fickle-minded gender this time?

All the Hillary people are going to be very sorry come November when McCain squashes her in the General Election, handing the White House to the Republicans for the next 4 years. Listen, folks, there are Hillary-haters who will pull themselves out of intensive care to go vote against her. Barack Obama doesn't have that problem. I think Hillary has the experience, but Barack Obama has the best chance of beating whoever the Republicans pick.

Before you vote, please read the Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Krugman and find out how movement conservatives have achieved and maintained political power. Give yourself a chance to understand the politics of the last 140 years in the USA. It will help you make the right decision. It will become clear too you that the United States need a CHANGE! It will show you why we all have to vote and put a DEMOCRAT in the White House.

What is great about this is that question " What will the democrats do to lose this election?" and " How can the republicans win? Simple...Hillary will push republicans out in droves..and most people are not being so honest about exit polls with Obama...and what makes it even better is that Hill and Obama are at each other throats and alienating their base...and the Republicans need a moderate to win...and here comes John McCain...who the Republicans won't warm up too unless he picks someone like Fred Thompson..who seems to be doing McCains dirty work ...Oh yes the stars are just about to align for a Republican Victory in November...Don't get to used to being Majority Leader either Harry...cause if you nominate either Hillary or Obama make no mistake about it..The GOP will be out in force and this will look like the 1984 Election between Reagan and that other guy........

When talking about Hillary being elected because she's a woman, we should keep in mind that it happened riding the coattails of her husband (it can be argued she could've made it on her own, but she didn't). Most of the experience she hails is as first lady. As she said, she had a front-row seat on history during those eight years. Yes she did, but she was still in the audience. Let's not confuse Obama's relative obscurity here for inexperience. Both of these candidates' real experience and identities are going to come out much more in the next few weeks. So I'd treat a lot of the hype and sway like you would now treat a poll result in New Hampshire. It's time to look, listen, and vote to these candidates. It is not yet time to scream.

Helen,

You need to go check PAC record and $$$ given by Obama campaign to get so called endorsement hoping to turn that into votes.

Get real!

Mitt Romney has the least chance of swinging independent voters and winning the General Election. I am a Gulianni supporter and my wife is a Huckabee supporter, but we are both voting for John McCain in the Michigan primary to help get Romney out of the race.

I know that voting for Gulianni or Huckabee are wasted votes in Michigan, so MY WIFE AND I ARE VOTING FOR JOHN MCCAIN IN MICHIGAN TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE!

Guliainni will make his stand in Florida against McCain, but hopefully without Romney's negative ads financed with Romney's personal $$$. George Bush stole the 2000 election with negative ads and look at the mess our country is in now because of him. We don't need another rich guy buying the election with negative ads! We don't need negative Romney ads in this campaign anymore. STOP ROMNEY!

Obama should exhibit he serves people. He just got elected from Illonoinse, and without any obligation to his electorate, he is only involved in greed, and power hungry tactics. Not even a year he served, for Iloonoise, he just turned to fund raising funds and next thing. This guy has no shame. We want him to prove, what he says is what he means. What next after US Presidency?

Can you enumerate few things you did to people in your life so far OBama? You think speeches are the essence of leadership. Mahatma gandhi never gave big speeches. It is the deeds that count.

I'm a woman who works in a male dominated career field. It hasn't been easy for me as I'm sure it's not easy for Hillary Clinton. I would love to see a woman President. Unfortunately I have seen the damage that is done when a woman is promoted just because she is a woman. It hurts all women. I think Hillary is the wrong woman to be elected President. Her behavior so far has been embarrassing. I want the right woman to be the first woman President and I'm sure someday the right woman will come along. The American people need to select the best person to be our next President. After a lot of careful research about the issues and examining their characters I've decided there is no better person in this race than Barack Obama.

I find it incredibly fascinating that people are falling for Billary's act. If she cared so much for this country and was in it to help where was she 4 years ago? She knew she couldn't win so she hid. All she and Bill want is to insure their legacy survives. Do you really want Bill as your president for another 4-8 years?

This is a simple decision; if Hillary wins the nomination then the democrats will lose the race. This is the time of the campaign that everyone is excited and looking forward to a change. Independents and many moderate liberals are not going to support Hillary. She is simply too polarizing.

CARRIE FROM CANADA SAID THIS AND I AGREE:

"Listen to all of you! I can't believe your buying in to all this media/pundits crap. They spin everything. Why don't you start thinking for yourself. Plus, the media is so sexist. Why is Obama getting a free ride and Hillary has to defend everything. I guarantee if she was a man none of this BS would of even came up."

IT SEEMS AMERICA; INCLUDING THE MEDIA, IS MORE SEXIST THAN RACIST.

I am surpised that some of the candidates use religion as a campain strategy. America was founded on freedom and mixing religion and politics has historically been a very bad idea. That has been the problem in the middle east. Their would be no war if people did not mix religion and govenment and their would be no 911. Why can't politicians stick to the ecconomy, building roads, lowering taxes, another words RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT, NOT THE PEOPLE!

claudia campbell in Obama's home state had this to say, and I agree:

"Mr. Obama has done nothing for my

community. He reminds me of my ex,all

talk, no action. In the Obama's household

I guess that Michelle plays the dominant role.

When someone touts change ,one must be

practical by laying out concrete foundation.

He is an orator, nothing more"

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BOLOGNA AMERICA!!!!!!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!

BELIEVE THIS WOMAN!!!!!!!

HAVEN'T YOU SEEN WHO LIKES HIM: "I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON OBAMA"

"OBAMA GIRLS" ET AL

HIS SUPPORTERS ARE YOUNG, IMPRESSIONABLE "MY SPACE" CHILDREN

LET'S GET REAL!

It doesnt' matter who we vote for...our voice doesn't matter and for those of you that think it does; you're ignorant. The best we can hope for is that we vote in a president who will unite and bring stability to our great nation. Someone who cares about or economy, intenational relations, global warming and the american dream. So goodluck because we all need it...we're in sad shape and we're all in it together.

To Hillary & Obama supporters,
Be reminded that this is just the preliminary. Your comments on both candidates will not help the party's nominees in general elections. If you are indeed sympathetic with your canditate in his/her bid to White Houst, I will advise that you all exrercise moderation on how you condemn your perceived opponents. Every attack made on a particular candidate by a supporter or a fellow aspirant IS an ATTACK on the party.
Please be aware!!!!!!! Making it to the White House should be the focus here.

Ron Paul supporters need to get a life. The guy is not going to win....hes actually going to lose by around 95% to 5% nationally if he is lucky. He is a bad candidate so give it a REST!

GO Hillary, you are the best!

If Obama runs for president, the democrats will lose yet again against the Republicans. More over the race card is so old...

Will Hillary stop attacking and concentrate on the real issues......she should stop provoking the Obama camp..please Clintons show some poise!! Yes Hillary, you will win ..Happy Now ..Bill and Hill?

The whole Clinton era is over. They're time has gone. We aren't going to relive the hey-day of the 1990's just by electing another Clinton. We need to move forward, not wallow in the past. You can't expect different results by electing the same old-same old in washington. For the sake of the country, take just 2 seconds and look outside the box and consider Obama, Ron Paul, Edwards, Huckabee. You don't have to agree with someone 100% to vote for them. I think the time for playing it safe by voting for the "tried and true" is too dangerous this election.

This notion of "electability" is a creation of the media. A vote is never wasted if it's on a candidate that you believe in.

"LADIES LETS MAKE HISTORY. VOTE FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. LETS PUT A STOP TO THIS WITCH HUNT AND THE DOUBLE STANDARD THAT IS PUT UPON WOMEN AND EQUALIZE THE PLAYING FIELD ONCE AND FOR ALL.
LETS CHANGE THE WORLD BY ELECTING THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE FREE WORLD.
LIKE DR. MAYA ANGELOU SAYS LETS RISE. LETS MAKE HISTORY."

Witch hunt? Double standard? I'm sorry but I think you're blowing it out of proportion. And Hillary won't be the first female president of the free world. In case you don't remember, India is the largest democracy and they elected a female president (albeit she doesn't carry the same amount of power as the prime minister) just last year. And don't forget Margaret Thatcher. And I might add Hillary – unlike these two women – essentially piggybacked off her husband's enormous success. When we get the first female President of the USA i want it to be a woman who is qualified in her own right and who won't have to depend on her husband to get her where she is (or campaign for her). Let's face it, without Bill Hillary wouldn't be a serious contender.

I am pleased to see Hillary is still ahead nationally. I just hope the Americans dont buy into the hype of Obama because it will be a terrible mistake. Clinton has the experience and vision for the country ... just give her a chance and get over all the unjustified hate.

It seems to me that Obama will win South Carolina because of race ... and that is very very sad.

Obama is certainly a great guy capable of uniting this nation.May God help Obama.

Please admit it. Americans want nothing except to be entertained. Getting the Clintons back has a certain sitcom appeal. What fun! No one else will be so much fun.

By the way, I heard Obama speak at a relatively small event a few months ago. His message was canned and not tailored to his S. Florida audience at all. Afterward he was rather aloof. He is not ready.

Well, I guess this poll means the presidential race will be Kucinich vs Biden.

Carrie from Canada:

Please don't interfere with our "family fight"; we can handle it without your two cents.

Before you pat Canada on the back and condemn my country, let me remind you that your country can afford to spend gazillions on social programs because the Good 'ole USA provides military support to your nation.

Also, let's not forget NAFTA (passed by Clinton in the 1990s) benefited Canada and Mexico and took millions of jobs from the USA.

The Clintonites speak so high and mighty... however for all their hot air and rhetoric .. what experience does Hillary really have.. what are her great accomplishments to date.. We would have some type of health care if she was not so intractable and uncompromising back in the 90s. She voted for the war and then stood up and proclaimed it was the right thing to do and was in support of this action and President Bush, How quickly she forgets her own history. When she was in the White House she was soooo interested in foreign affairs (I guess Bill's ) she did NOT even bother to get National Security clearance.. What does that say about her experience and involvement in national and foreign affairs. She talks endlessly about ready on day one but what are her qualifications ... What meaningful legislation has she brought forth and got passed? If being first lady is really that great experience.. then I guess Barbara Bush should be running for president. I'm a democratic independent and really dislike the current administration and where this country is ... but I will NEVER vote for Hillary ......she is just as ego driven and untrustworthy as Dick Cheney. She will continue sell out this country, just as Bill and George before her.

"But Hillary is the only candidate on the democratic side that has the ability and experience to actually get the job done"

I am trying to approach this election as impartially as possible. I wish I could see some tangible evidence of what Hillary Clinton has done in the past which would support the claim that she has more 'experience' than the others. As far as 'ability' goes, has she ever been President before? None of them have, so I am not sure why she gets the nod for having the most ability. Maybe because she used to live in the White House....

All these folks talk about how they were for Hillary -but now obama because of WHAT?

There has been no major real scandal by any candidate. Even the Ron Paul racist thing was blown off as a scam.

People were voting for Hillary because she was the real agent for change until Obama PROVED he was a legitimate contender in Iowa. Therefore the big far left bandwagon is in full swing.

Obama is a first year senator who was in washington what? 2 years before he somehow decided he was EXPERIENCED enough to be president of the united states?

It is simply irresponsible to stick someone in power who does not have the resume to do the job. Why didnt obama just WAIT until he had the experience ?

All you Hillary supporters who want to tout the polls today should take a look at the polls that matter and those are the polls showing theoretical matchups in November. May I point to the Rasmussen poll showing her losing to McCain by 8 points in Pennsylvania, of all places?!

Go ahead and vote for Hillary in your state primaries. Just know that when you do, you're taking us one step closer to ANOTHER Republican Administration. Take your blinders off, people. She is NOT Bill Clinton. Only Democrats like Hillary. She's not going to win the Presidency with nothing but the base behind her.

Obama or Edwards are the only candidates that stand a chance in November.

As a Canadian watching the American political scene since 1976, it was discraceful to hear John McCain's comments about our health care system during the last republican debate. The Republicans simply just don't get it: they won't provide a good health care coverage for all-at least 45 millions Americans aren't covered-cause our system in Canada is fair, affordable for each citizen. I just hope that Hillary Clinton gets the nomination for the Democrats and finally gets rid of the Old Conservative doctine that ruins the most powerful nation in the World. Besides, McCain is 70, Reagan was 71 when first elected: come on America, wake up and make it happen! HILLARY AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Hillary is going no where.

She is trying to inject race into this whole thing knowing it will be at the disadvantage of the Obama camp...but it will only hurt her.

Obama leads in Nevada 32% to 30%
Obama leads in South Carolina 44%

We will do it state by state. The reason she leads here nationally is because of NAME BRAND on CLINTON...but once we get to a state, the percentages will change.

The Clintons cannot take advantage of everyone for their own greed, America will stand against this!

Obama came up with CHANGE and she adopted it. Everything Obama does, she copies and then goes around slandering his name.

I am actually confused as to whether its Bill or Hillary who is running for president!
It doesn't really matter anyway because both of them will lose miserably!

A Clinton – McCain race for the Whitehouse would be great!

My vote has already been cast in CA absentee for Hillary. As to Obama he is just not ready yet and all the yelling for him and mudslinging at the Clintons from his group will not change that and will divide the party and hurt the Dems overall in the full election. For all of you who are too young to remember the Clintons, within two years of their coming into office, I bought my first home at age 37 when under Regan and Bush we had no chance for that. My husband and I both had a very sucessful careers that were saved by their changes in national policy that supported hi tech industries. Many americans in poor neighborhoods also had their first homes and went from poor and renting to home owners in the middle class for the first time and with fair deals that did not disappear when interest rates changed. Finally for those of you who think the republicans will find mud to throw at Hillary, get real. Let them try. They threw all they had and no one listens anymore when they howl about the Clintons and that is one of her strongest positives. Go HIllary 08. We are with you all the way.

Does it bother anyone that if Hillary wins the Whitehouse (and is re-elected) it will give us 28 years of 2 families controlling this country.

Why isn't Ron Paul included in this poll? I see bumper stickers and yard signs for him but the media doesn't really think he will play their money game?

Anon Middle America: Who is doing the dividing? Obama was not raising the issue of race, the media, and then Hillary Clinton did. In fact, it was a non-issue for all the campaigns until Clinton thought she might be losing, when suddenly a barrage of misinformation about Barack Obama arose.

Clinton will continue more years of divided and needlessly partisan politics. It is not that we shouldn't have parties, and that partisan politics don't have a place. However, the last decade or more has been typified by division simply for division's sake. Enough already!

As an African American who has always been a democrat, this election has taught be a lot about the democratic party. Whites seem to be blaming Obama for division in the democratic party when Clinton allowed her true feeling to come out about Dr. King. She may win the democratic nomination but she will not be president. A lot of blacks will sit this one out. She does not have our best interest at heart. There will be no difference in the republican candidate and Hilliary. I will vote republican if she wins the nomination.

If Obama wins the nomination he will be crushed by McCain. When a true service by Kerry in Vietnam is "Swift boated", then you can't imagine what kind of garbage will come against Obama in general election? I don't think media will give the same treatment in that campaign as it is giving now. For Hillary, so much has thrown against her for the past 15 years and she has shown her toughness in keeping everyone quiet, that she won't have any problem defending herself in general election. She is much more smarter than Obama and deserves democrat nomination.

Sabine from Berlin;!!!!!!!!!!! WE WANT HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!! mmmmhhhh!! Who is we? I DO NOT WANT HILLARY!!
Hillary and her "funs" have become so desperate and are now going for petty politics and want to continue practicing the old Washington politics. While we appreciate the freedom of speech in our country that has been guaranteed by the constitution I like to take this opportunity to remind Bob Johnson that he is not a spokesman and does not speak for the entire black fraternity. The sooner he realizes how the conniving the Clintons are the better it will be for him. Did he forget that the former President had himself confessed trying Marijuana as young teenager?? These are kind of Politics we do not need. It's petty and a disgrace especially coming from a person of such caliber as Bob Johnson. GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need a change we can believe in, we need somebody who will unite us and who will embrace the diversity of our country, that person is BARACK OBAMA..........OBAMA 08!!!

Man...I looked in the distance and yawn for change. I see darkness of change. The same issues still, and will continue to exist in this nation. All we can do it pray that the generation that comes after us does not continue with the Torch that we carry today.

In regard to Joe's comment about just the Hillary supporters being the divisive ones, I suggest you read exactly what the Hillary supporters are saying. Most of them do nothing but talk of her experience and intelligence and her years of fighting for the middle class. Next, let me suggest you go check out MSNBC's FirstRead or HardBall with Chris Matthews. There you will find nothing but vile hatred being espoused by ALL of the Obama supporters. Also, if Obama seems to think that the independant voters are so important, why doesn't he run on an independant ticket. It is clear beyond doubt that Hillary has the overwhelming support of the party that she represents.

The Democratic Party is cracking like an egg; the inane back and forth name calling between Hillary and Obaba is a preview of upcoming events:

- disagree with "President Obama", and you're a new member of all RACISTS;

- disagree with "President Hillary", and you're a SEXIST PIG.

The alternative?

- Support John McCain; he is quite moderate on many issues, yet firm, tenacious, and the most experienced on foreign policy and military issues of all presidential candidates (of all Republicans and Democrats);

- McCain supports fiscal responsibility and does not believe in income redistribution;

- McCain will appoint Federal Supreme Court justices who follow the U.S. Constitution and does NOT legislate from the bench;

- McCain will NOT bend at the alter of the United Nations nor the European Union.

Once the thrill of Obama's candidacy wears off, Blacks in America will be hardput to vote against Hillary's lifetime of hard work and proven track record on their behalf – in favor of voting for Obama, who is a young first-term Senator and talented speaker who has yet to earn their respect and their vote.

Hillary and her husband are acting very catty....if i remember correctly, she and her man were the ones that started attacking Obama. Obama had not said a word. Her cattiness needs to stop!!!!!she should just concentrate on her campaign an shut up and let Obama do his own thing. Obama's reaction is simply the result of being provoked and having enough.
If America votes for her....let me remind you...Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton is not a change!!!
And bill needs to just back off. everytime he opens his mouth, its just negativity on Obama's campaign....
Can't we all just get along...
Go OBAMA!!!!!!if i was american...you would have my vote.
Hillary lacks morales!!!!! No intergrity and no shame!

Listen to all of you! I can't believe your buying in to all this media/pundits crap. They spin everything. Why don't you start thinking for yourself. Plus, the media is so sexist. Why is Obama getting a free ride and Hillary has to defend everything. I guarantee if she was a man none of this BS would of even came up. It is time for all the women to speak up and unite. As a woman this discusts me. I am proud to say that as a Canadian we were able to look past gender and elected a female Prime Minister, and that was back in the early 90's. USA I thought was suppose to be the leader in the world for democracy, so start to look past Hillary as a woman and look at her as the best candidate to clean up the mess that the current president you voted for (twice I may remind you) made!

Go Hillary!!!

Gee, we are losing jobs at an alarming wait. I can't stand Bush, however this issue is not his fault. Can you say Nafta? Look at the Clintons for that. While you're at see of the 3 who has lobbyisy money. Wake up and know your facts. We lose jobs over seas at an alarming rate. Nafta is a huge reason for that. Clinton pushed that through. Think people... Experience is what? It may be overated. Look at their voting record, look at Iraq. Did experience help there?

What really amazes me in all this, is how Obama responds to criticism. His entire campaign (and now with the help of his lackey, Edwards) he has done nothing but sling mud and make untrue commments toward Clinton. But everytime someone points out his faults and distortions, it's "Oh my! All they can do is attack me and not offer anything positive." This man is the most plastic politician of them all. I'd vote for Mike Gravel before I gave Obama my vote. Hillary may have shed tears, but Obama's whining tells you a whole lot more about where we'll be if he wins the nomination.

We all would run the same type of race if we were trying to become president of the US. It is easy to set back and point fingers at each one. Whoever gets elected (and I think it will be Hillary) will not have very big shoes to fill of what has been in for the past 8 years.

I must applaud the Clintons for the strategic brain-washing of the African American and Hispanic communities. Kudos to you Hilary for the worst emotional display in history. Would someone please tell me what the Clintons have done for these ethnic groups? I must have missed it b/c things have progressively gotten worse since the Clinton administration.

This race really shows that America as a whole has not come a far as we thought regarding race relations.

Here are a couple questions for Hilarious supporters.
1. Are you really supporting Hilary or are you supporting a 3rd term for Bill?
2. If you submitted a resume for a job with no references and told the interviewer that you were not willing to release your references; what do you think would happen?

Soon we will find out if Americans or more Sexist or more Racist.

I truly hope America can get it together one day.

I was very proud and impressed with Mrs. Clinton.

I have lived in Illinois for the past 26 years.

Mr. Obama has done nothing for my

community. He reminds me of my ex,all

talk, no action. In the Obama's household

I guess that Michelle plays the dominant role.

When someone touts change ,one must be

practical by laying out concrete foundation.

He is an orator, nothing more.

So Hillary defends herself after months of everyone going after her and she's the villan?

And why does Obama get a free pass about his drug use? Why cant that be brought up? He did them right? He wrote about it in his book right? Why does he think or his "fans" think we can talk about it? Like Obama would say….
" YES WE CAN!"

It's amazing this article does not point out that clinton is down 11 points and Obama is up 14 points from when this poll was done in December.

Those who oppose Hillary need to be honest with themselves. It's become something of a fad, a fashionable trend to bash this woman. If you pressed the anti-Hillary hoards on why exactly they loathe her, there'd be little substance in their response. This is clearly about hating a woman, who against all odds is in within grasp of the highest job on the land. And be honest anti-Hillary people, it just bothers the heck out of you.

Now, I am black and I think Obama rocks. But something about not having anything to show for his four years in the senate, missing major votes, and preaching style over substance bothers me. He'll be a good vice president for Hill, but he is not quite seasoned enough to take the helms altogether.

A society gets the political media it deserves. Our society is characterized by impatience with detail and very short attention spans, so we get a political media that has no motivation to cover issues in depth, and lots of motivation to cover the more shallow and visible aspects of the campaign – like who cried and how much. Lots of people will look at this block of text and decide it is too "big" to even bother reading. And you expect them to tune into a thoughtful, detail-oriented segment on *anything?*

Who cares about McCain. He is nothing. He has NO support. How many signs do you see for him? How many volunteers does he have? Zero! Americans, get the truth. He is the one determined by the ones who rig the elections. Don't just sit there and take it.

You HAVE to know it's rigged. More than 70% of Americans are AGAINST the war. Why would they vote for McCain who is 700% FOR the war???

Haven't we learned not to listen to polls by now?????

HILLARY>>>>>>>>>2008

I have to laugh at all the people who say she will burst into tears when the going gets tough! LOL
First, she's an "ice queen", now she's a "crybaby"!!
Can't have it both ways folks!
(but it's fun to watch you try).

POLLS, THEY ARE USELESS, IT' S THE MEDIA TRYING TO INFLUENCE THERE WAY FOR YOU TO VOTE. IT IS ALL FOR THE BENEFIT FOR THEM AND TO TRY SWAY YOU THAT YOUR VOTE ISN'T ANY GOOD, SO WHY WASTE YOUR TIME VOTING.
LOOK AT HISTORY, THE MEDIA HAD DEWEY BEATING TRUMAN, LOOK AT WHAT HAPPEND THEN, THE MEDIA LOOKED LIKE IDIOTS AND THEY STILL DO.

OBUMA WAS AHEAD UNTIL THE LAST DAY, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HITLERY WON, NO WONDER THE CLINTONS WERE SHIPPING PEOPLE FROM OUT OF STATE TO VOTE, NOBODY IS GOING TO CHANGE THERE MIND IN A 12 HOUR PERIOD WHENM THEY HAD THE STUPID POLL, THEN HITLERY CRIED AND WON, WHAT A LOSING COMBINATION, THE MEDIA NAD THE CLINTONS ARE THIS COUNTRY'S ENEMY WITHIN.
IRON MY SHIRT! IRON MY SHIRT!!
GO MITT!

I support Hillary because I don't think she has an "agenda" to fulfill. (personal satisfaction at winning doesn't count, as they ALL would have that).
If it is not her on the ticket, I will vote for the Republican to defeat Barack Obama.

Should I vote for HRC just because she is a woman? The answer is a resounding NO. She ia a status quo candidate using her "gender" to get to the White Hosue. The media as usual has been very soft on her . It is better a WHITE woman than a BLACK man...that is what is going to come down at the end of the day. We are not ready to vote for a black man as the president befoer a white woman. Its not gonna happen. Obama...take the high road.

NO TO BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON

Time for dynastic politicss to come to an end on 1/20/09

ANYBODY BUT THE CLINTONS

HILLARY IS THE ONLY CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT.

To MarkH,
If you vote for the person who opposes Hillary, the you'll be voting republican, then dont complain when we go to war with Iran. The republicans are war-mongers, have a superiority complex, and have done nothing but isolate our country and our citizens, HOWEVER, they have done a wonderful job, having third world country take away our jobs. We dont even make our own TOOTHPASTE!!! So very sad, but it's time to reverse that put Hillary in the White HOuse in 2008, let's give furture generations of American a fighting chance, and I dont mean "fighting" with a machine gun while trying to make the world do things our way!!

HILLARY IN 08!!

concerning the run for the office of President I suggest that the media would start asking questions that are on the voters minds.We are concerned about healthcare,education,recession,how much experience does the candidates have. Also do not fall in the trap of making the campaign a racial issue. African Americans we are very intelligent people and we want to know who is Obama,what has he stood for and where has he come from. What issues has he fought for. We know our out spoken civil rights leaders,our congressman,our black cacus and many who have stood up and spoke out for years. But who is Senator Obama,where has he been?

I know more about Tavis Smiley than the Senator,Tavis is always in the for front of a real cause. Even the son's of Rev.Jessie,we have seen them speak out,we have heard Dexter king, Harold Ford of Tennesee,but we have not heard or seen Obama speaking out or carrying a torch. There is a great list of African American politicians that are well known,who have given there lives to for the cause.

Ask the questions that need to be asked.

SHE'LL TAKE US THERE!!! Hillary, the United States and the world would love to have you back again! You and Bill are a success wherever you go.
Americans and the international community recognize your leadership and your accomplishments. We all remember. Please take us there again!!!

GO HILLARY.

Experience and Intelligence Matter!

Let's just be realistic here! I applaud Obama efforts. But he will not be the next president. Yeah, change is good, but AMERICA has not changed that much. That racist has been erased for our everyday existence. People has critized me for this belief, but it the truth. I am in full support of Hillary Clinton. ALOTS of ungrateful black american don't appreciate the better shape this country was in back in the 90's. We got to go back some steps to move forward. This country is in a mess, once I knew Hillary was finally running for president. This is our moment to get things back in order. Obama run later or be vice president, maybe that would work.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about Katrina, Jena 6 and many more racial issues in America.

Of course Hillary is still ahead, who else is there to vote for?

Hillary grew up in America, she knows first hand about America, she did not spend her early years in a Muslim school in Jakarta. She has been an American all her life, going through all trials and tribulations that each and every American has gone thru. While Obama went to school in Jakarta, Hillary had already been in high school where American Government is a requirement. She went on to learn American law. Obama, may be a nice man, I give him that, but he is American only by birth... his childhood history and what he would write in his memoirs some day have nothing to do with America.

When I was a kid, I used to inspire the presidents of United States. I understood only the self made man or woman who has solid track record, who is a high achiever, who has a scholastic calibre, who possess extensive industry/business/administration/military experience can aim for that. However it seems that the entry bar become lower and lowerer. I wonder how low will it go!

If by chance Hillary gets the nomination, I'll vote for anyone that will go against her. She really is a candidate for change, atleast until the election is over, then it's business as usual.

Hillary all the Way in 2008!! She is the most qualified to lead this country at this particular point in history. I dont want a newbie in the White House!!!

Barak can be president but let's make him get more experience, he can always run again win 2016!

Ugh!!! All this talk about polls. Why aren't you talking about ISSUES?! At the end of the day, that's what matters. Those who didn't win the nomination would at least be able to take comfort in the fact that their issues were raised.

This just goes to show you what the press thinks about.

I'm voting for Mitt Romney. I know where he stands on the issues and I'm behind him 100%.

GO HILLARY!! I DON'T THINK AMERICA WANTS A JUNIOR SENATOR WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLOUT AND IS OWED NO FAVORS....IS EVERYONE FORGETTING THAT THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THINGS GET DONE IN WASHINGTON?! I BELIEVE IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT FAVORS ARE TRADED. WHAT FAVORS IS BARACK OWED? NONE. I GUESS THE NEW POLLS SUGGEST THAT MOST AMERICANS AREN'T GOING TO VOTE FOR A PRETTY FACE AND BECAUSE OF RACIAL GUILT.

LOOK CLOSELY, everybody! These polls are VERY BAD FOR HILLARY. Her once gigantic lead in national polling has nearly evaporated. These polls represent (-11) for Hillary and (+14) for Obama since last polling.

This is not good news for the Hillary campaign. Please read closely before you celebrate.

Hillary is RAPIDLY losing ground and yet her supporters are cheering this poll, which is actually bad news for them. Informed voters?

CLINTON 08!!

hillary is a joke and she will not be president. i need to ask all you liberals one question, what has she accomplished? and plus if she is presidant bill will be the first lady.... hahah

If Hillary wins the nomination, I will definitely vote for Bloomberg (if he runs) or for the first time ever, Republican. I voted for Bill Clinton both times and Hillary for NY Senate but she has turned me off so bad that I will never EVER vote for any Clinton again. I think many feel this way

It's interesting how everyone on here that supports Hillary talks about the party being "divided." I see no division. The only problem I see is that she touched a subject that she knew full well the Media, not Barack Obama, would take out of context. As soon as everyone in the Democratic Party starts talking about us being divided, it's over. And thus far on all the boards I have seen, it's those in the Hillary camp that are touting that rhetoric. How about we stop talking about being divided and ask what we can do to have the candidates and MORE IMPORTANTLY, the Media, start talking about the issues again. The fact is that we essentially agree on the same basic foundations of political thought. Some form of universal health care, a disdain for the war, civil liberties, etc... To say one or the other is not capable of doing the job for any reason other than what is in their policy statements is only hurting our party more.

And one more point... for those who think Barack's drug use as a kid will be an issue in a general election against the GOP, just wait till the GOP gets ahold of the Clinton's. There is more cannon fodder for attack ads between the two of them than even any GOP candidate themselves is susceptible to. We need to back our candidates no matter what.

I can just picture how "strong" our president will appear as she breaks into tears because the North Koreans start up their nuclear processing plant again...

Everybody voting for Hillary is really voting for Bill... Unless you are a woman. Then it is obvious why you are voting for her. Obama actually has more years in public service than Hillary... And He didn't get started due to the position his spouse held in government.

And Where did Obama play the race card?... hmmm

exactly what they want....

yeah... sure... this election is all about..... (wait for it.....) ..... change.

(sigh)....

God help us all.

MAC is back! see MAC defeat Hillary in Nov.

Any one but Hillary PLEASE!!!!!!!!!, If she wins I'm voting Rep. this year

There isn't one thing said about edwards-he is a guy that wants to make a change and he didn't come from money. What does anybody have against him anyways? He started out poor and has worked for what he has today. I think he can lead this country back to where we need to be!!!

If America wants a president for an inward looking nation, then Clinton is your woman. However, if America is looking for a president who would represent a nation holding out the hand of friendship to the rest of the world, then the choice is simple, OBAMA!!

go Hillary...!

She has the power and personality to earn respect from other nations. Obama certainly does'nt!

People should not vote for Obama just because he is "likable".
We should place more emphasis on "intellectual" capabilities of a candidate.

Many hate Clinton because she has a history.
Obama has no history so nothing to complain about???
Don't waste your vote for a third party candidate!

She has the power and personality to earn respect from other nations. Obama certainly does'nt!

GO HILLARY

A “new kind of politics”; I am not really sure what Obama means with that line anymore. He is taking advantage of comments that were made and meant absolutely nothing to the effect he is making them to be. It is upsetting and disappointing to see the guy who supposedly will run a different campaign, is actually in the process of defaming his opponents by trying to use comments and making them sound racist to his own advantage.

Hillary doesn't sit around and hope for change....
she goes out and MAKES CHANGE HAPPEN!!!

!!!! HILLARY CLINTON !!!!

I think it's incorrect to say where the other votes will go after the primaries are over.
If Hillary is the nominee, each person will have to decide which they prefer–her (a Democrat), or whoever the Republican candidate is.

Bring Back the CLINTONS, Bring Back the ECONOMY!!!!!!

Vote SMART, Vote Hillary '08!!!!!!!!!

I went to high school with Hillary (Maine Township, Park Ridge, IL). She was conceited back then too. My vote is for Obama. If she get's the nod form the Dems, then I vote anyone who opposes her. Plain & simple

BOOOOOOOOOOO HILLARY

GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOO

OBAMA

OBAMA IS THE BEST

In the last debate, Hillary accused Obama of saying "Edward was unelectable...".
Obama replied that he never said that.
This lady has the courage to lie about Obama infront of him, how about when he is there? Exponential lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The polling is done on K-Street Brian and if you believe in the pols you must be reading my Pet Goat.

BOOOOOO HILLARY YOU'RE NOT WORTH OUR TIME

GO OBAMA YOU'RE THE BEST

GGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OBAMA

Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton?

Well let us rephrase that: Failure! Success! Failure, Success! That is what American needs most now: SUCCESS which equals HILLARY!!!!!!!

If you vote for Hillary, you vote for success! It's that simple!

GO Hillary!!!!!! You are the BEST candidate for a President! Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you should go with Obama. Either way it would be a change. Hilary is the first woman to run for president and obama is the first black male to run for president. I like Both of them!

Obama is the best and i m not just saying that because he is black and i am black but i think he is the best canadate

The fact is we can not easily get out of Iraq. The fact is we need both short and long term economic strategies to help ourselves. The fact is I will not see my retirement supplement from Social Securities if we can't fix the issues. The fact is we need to get our heads together to fix the broken Washington.

The fact is we all need someone who can really lead this nation to get us better life for the future.

My bet? A someone who has said and done lots of above already. Romney. That's the winning ticket for all of us.

hillary should win in michigan

Huckabee's hanging in there. An honorable race would be Obama vs. McCain or Obama vs. Huckabee. Should Hillary win, we'd minus well give the Keys to the Nation to the homosexual community.

Vote for Hillary? I can't believe voters are so gullable and can't discern this woman who has all but promised the moon to buy votes. She is an angry person who should never represent this country in the international scene, and her domestic policies would ruin us. It's not about parties right now–it's about integrity, which she does NOT have

Obama is the gate, Only through him We shall be delivered. Can Hillary do this no not at all.Why she think that she knows But she didn't .We need who can hear us.And then Hillary depend too much on her gender . America Doesn't want the first black American,the first women presidant and the first Mormon ,Who cares?, What America needs is A person who has got the charisma ,ability and truth to bring the required change ,healing and deliverance when we think of this there is only one choice on planet earth –BARACK OBAMA.

COME ON MICHIGAN!
COME ON AMERICA!

IN HIM WE TRUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Hillary lovers aer the epitome of irrationality and ignorance. I will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton...I don't care WHO she is running against. Furthermore, if she is elected as the Democratic nominee, I will IMMEDIATELY change my party to Independant. Hillary's campaign stands for everything I'm against.

Americans are so confused, it is hard to believe that they want two "royal" families to run our country. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton.

America is truly in trouble. People don't even care about the Constitution anymore, they just want whatever is popular at the time. FAIL!

YES WE CAN. I will vote Barack Obama the UNITER!!!!!!!!

I am neither Republican nor Democrat but one thing I know from hands-on-experience with Sen. Clinton that if electe President , America will be proud again with such a gifted and sensitive person in charge . Good luck to her and America – she deserves to win!!!!

GO, JOHN MCCAIN, GO !!! MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT

GO HILLARY!!

If you think this is something, wait until election time comes. HIllary or Obama. Let the punches fly and the scratching begin and then let 'em be healed! One things for sure, the Democrats are alive and buzzing. Not to much being said about the Republican Camp. When it's all said, It will be a Hillary&Obama ticket. Any other combination won't stirred the Nation to the polls.

Have you seen the footage of Hillary's town hall meetings, what a snooze fest. She's basically her husband, but without the charm, and she won't be able to win the general. She reminds me of my tenth grade english teacher, kinda like the teachers in Charley Brown, waa, waa,waa, wa, wa, wa,. Someone wake me when its over. I'm a Republican and personally I hope Hillary wins the nomination, because she can't beat a true American hero like McCain. Go Jonny go!

To add context, according to the Washington Post, Clinton has LOST 11 points over the last month and Obama has GAINED 14 points over the last month.

As I said, though CNN tries to hide it, this is GOOD NEWS FOR OBAMA.

Pathetic Americans. We will all laugh at you when Hillary Clinton is president. Just as much of disgrace as GW Bush. The Clintons play dirty politics and distort everyone's elses words to seek political gain. Some are too dumb to see through it.

Poor job of telling the whole story CNN. Clinton supporters up and down this thread are citing this as good news. If you, CNN, had reported this story correctly, you would have explained to Clinton supporters that Obama is continuing to gain support nationally and Clinton's once sizable lead is almost completely gone.

And I am still waiting to hear what "Experience" she has that makes her qualified for this position.

Hillary is the most intelligent and experienced.............also the most deserving.
Anyone who would vote any thing but democratic must be crazy.........This has been the worst 8 years ever!!!!

Looks like this board has been hijacked by Clintons. I am an independant and if the contest is between McCain and Hillary, I would have to vote for McCain...just for the sheer difference in character and caliber. Hillary is Hillarious.

I can not believe that the Obama camp is so desperate that they could turn Senator Clintons very positive remark regarding Lyndon Johnson and Dr. Martin Luther King, into a racist remark. The reality is, that as Senator Clinton stated, Lindon Johnson did in fact further Dr. Kings ideals. That statement does not diminish either Dr. King, or President Johnson, but rather states the obvious. Without legislation, all of Dr. Kings ideals would have gone no where.

I have a lot of respect for Barack Obama, and this really ridiculous approach to Senator Clinton is so disappointing. I believe he is a better man than that, and is taking some really bad advice from people.

Looks like Obama is facing Bill instead of Hillary. Let's give a rest to the establishment.

I think that a two-man race between Clinton and Obama will be less informative and constructive than one in which a strong third candidate, such as Edwards, remains in the running. I urge all undecided Dems to support edwards in the primaries, to ensure he stays in the race!

This is good.

The candidates with the experience should be leading all the polls.

Real life experience and a candidates accomplishments will trump rainbow wishes and daydream believers, hopefully.

Obama's keeping above the fray and letting his minions do his dirty work for him. At some point he's going to implode. That's what happens when external pressure (the American peoples demand for specifics) is placed on a vacuum.

My sincere desire is that that doesn't happen during a general election, because if it does, we have to live with another fascist administration.

Obama should be a preacher, he has the gift for it. We need a doer in this country right now, not a dreamer.

OBAMA U DID VOTE FOR WAR YES U DID U SAID IN UR SPEECH .BY THE WAY PLS DONT USE RACE CARD IT MIGHT BACKFIRE ON U .BLACK PEOPLE R SMARTER THAN THAT GO HILLARY

OH SO PEOPLE SAY HILLARY IS COPYCAT.LOOK AT ECONOMY PLAN OF OBAMA ,SO WHO IS THE BIGGEST COPY CAT NOW WOW OBAMA WHAT DID U CHANGE NOW .OH NOTHING JUST FEW WORDS IN HILLARY,S PLAN

Can't wait to vote for Hillary.

So much double standard.
Obama can do no wrong. He's a cry baby BIG TIME.

America wold be stupid to vote for this man. No record, no experience. Does he think he can get there by complaining about Hillary and Bill Clinton? Hope America will get it right. Look at George Bush. This is where the country is heading with Obama.

Don't get me wrong. Obama would be ready at some time when he groows up and mature an learn to stand on his own abilities and strenghts. He can't use the word CHANGE and get elected. Is America crazy! Wake up people!

Anyone on the Democrats side would have been great EXCEPT Dennis. But please not Obama NOT now. He' s too poetic and thats not what we need.

We are a nation divided, politics and the advancement of self is what drives these candates. They go from place to place saying what they think the people want hear. We shouldn't listen to vague non commited answers. What we should listen too is the candate who is real and not afraid of offending a race, life preference, and gender. If we as a nation put someone in office soley because of their race , gender, or party then we deserve what we get.... Now they all are saying change, hmmm I say we change the script on them and say what about us and what we want and need! My vote = none of the above.

its really starting to become very dirty politics with a lot of mud slinging and causing the polls to teeter tooter based on whos doing the slinging....

The last time CNN conducted its "national polls" in New Hampshire they were dead wrong and Hillary won. Still they manage to somehow give face and show the results of yet another poll? Haven't they learned their lesson?

With the recent antics of the Clintons, trying to make this campaign about race and drugs. The American people would habe enought ime see them for who they are before the national elections. Washington insiders who cant make a dramatic change in washington.
Edwards or Obama are the only candidates that can truly bring about real change in America. The stakes are too high to elect those who would toll the line of the Status quo.

Why are so many Hilary fans comparing Obama to Bush. That seems pretty desparate to me. What could be further from the truth. No matter who you vote for, let's be honest, Obama and Bush are nothing alike.

What happened to Ron paul, he was not quoted in the polls. Did CNN purposely leave him out again. The big media guys don't like it when Dr. Paul's percentage points are higher than the so called top 5

American you will make a History for Voting the First Woman as The first President Woman of The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,YES YOU CAIN.

GO HILLARY CLINTON,

AMERICAN LOVE YOU.

Wow - what a misleading article. The facts are that Hillary, while "leading in the polls" nationally, has seen her lead drop 11% and Barack Obama's soar 16%. She's hardly "holding it down" folks.

Be part of a very real movement for change and transparency in Washington: OBAMA 08!

How can anyone say that John McCain should lead the Republican party into the next election? Especially following the comments he made in Michigan the other day...Something along the lines of "I've looked in President Putin's eyes and I see three letters....K G B..." I'm surprised he didn't catch more heat over those comments. If he wants to be someone who leads the so called "free world" he needs to remain more tactful, regardless of his opinions about other world leaders.

I believe that Hillary is strong and no matter whats put in her path she will face it and keep on going. She truly cares about the people and just not her self. I believe she will bring change and bring this country back up to it feet.

Go Hillary.....

I must say kudos to CNN for not having its pundits or commentators interject their personal bias into the CLINTON obama pseudo race war. Unlike chris matthews on MSNBC and Mika Brzezinski of morning joe whos father Zbigniew Brzezinski is a barack obama supporter and advisor.
barack obama and his backers in the media realise he has no political issues to stand on or any fundamental change he can expound on compare to HILLARY CLINTON STELLA POLITICAL RECORD AND ACHIEVEMENTS, so they fabricate and distort Hillary and Bill Clintons comments to legitimize barack obama lack of agenda.

Why does everybody complain about Hilary? i'm actually glad she's winning, and Mccain, i'm not even going to start with him. Are the American people afraid that Hilary might screw up, is it because she's a woman, or because she can't run this country?

As for what "linda" wrote she didn't screw up the health care plan, she tried to help this country. Do you know how many people are dying because they don't have insurance. Did anybody see the movie sicko? America is number 47, were at the bottom for health care.

Another thing, does everybody want Obama, he's too young for the white house, and he doesn't have experience with foreign affairs. He also uses silly words, like "change". We want action not words!

Go Hilary, she can pull this country out of the darkness!!~

When I see signs like "WOMEN FOR CLINTON" that worries me. If I start seeing "BLACKS FOR OBAMA" signs I'm through with the whole Democrat thing.

Our site, WebmasterVote.org, recently endorsed Mitt Romney. The internet is getting behind him now so we'll see what kind of impact this has. Webmasters and internet businesses are not going for the "Fair Tax" or anyone who pushes it.

Everyone who has responded to this blog should recognize that the underlying issue has not been adressed. Have we not considered that all of these candidates are either wealthy or extremely wealthy. Most of these candidates are unable and incapable of seeing the average American experience, let alone the experience of the poor American. Understood, most of these individuals have made "great strides" to insure our rights and priveleges allocated by our constitution. However, these candidates are nothing more than puppets on the string of our nations system of government. But if I had to choose, I suppose I would choose the first candidate that admitted to making a mistake in full disclosure, without any "and's", "if's", or "but's."

We have all seen how accurate the pools have been. NOT
I will wait till after super Tuesday to see and not be swayed by what the media wants me to think.
Obama 08
No more Bush, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton. Enough is enough. Please amke them go away and stay gone!

Looks like we Democrats are letting the press change the campaign from the issues (Iraq war, Iran, Pakistan, health care, economy, corruption within this administration, the Bill of Rights, defense of the Constitution, etc.) to race and personal attacks. Let's not work on solving issues instead let's make the race for President look like a Lindsey Lohan vs. Paris Hilton tabloid cat fight (all press hype no value to the American people). Worst thing that could have happened to us. Guess if the other option is Grandpa McCain a run by Bloomberg is not far off.

Please stop saying that Hillary cried. I have seen the coverage and I did not see her cry. Her voice waivered a little and the talking heads said she cried.

I have never seen anything like this. And stupid, mis-informed Americans, if they can be called Americans (responsibility comes with being American) are saying the candidate cried.

I'd say it was funny but, it's scary what people think they know.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

One of the things I don't like about Obama is the fact that he often doesn't take a stand on tough votes by voting either "Yes" or "No". Instead he votes "Present".
He appears to be sidestepping so that he can claim all sides of an issue.

It appears very calculating by him, so I think all of the Obama fans are not seeing that Barack Obama is NO different than any other politician. He is not heaven-sent after all.

I also don't like it that he and his minions are trying to stir up race in this campaign. That is more dividing than anything else! He ought to be ashamed, and it calls his character into question to me.
As a Democrat, I won't be voting for him, for these reasons, and others.

I think CNN should be ashamed at how they have approached this political season, with their obvious biases showing. CNN used to be a respected news organization. This type of reporting makes them appear very tabloid to say the least.

(I suppose now you won't print my comments, or will you not print them based on the fact that they are anti-Obama?)

I am a woman that was an ardent Hillary admirer until she voted for the war. How can any woman vote for Hillary when she did not have the guts to stand up to the phony war created by the Bush regime? Her vote proved that she is just another one of the suits on Capitol hill. And those tears...the only tears that move me are from those families I see at airports around the country who are saying goodbye to their loved ones as they depart for Iraq and possibly from their lives forever.

Barack Obama had the guts to denounce the war, had the guts to admit his youthful weaknesses, had the guts to turn down the big bucks law firm salary to work for cents in the community, and continues to have the guts to deal with the only defense that Hillary has to beat him – negativity and lies – something that she is truly experienced to deliver.

I am so happy that people are finally listening to John McCain. He is such a standout in this presidential race. I feel like we as Americans missed our shot at having him run our country once.....we cannot afford to make that mistake again.

We have REAL problems in this country. We need a REAL candidate with REAL solutions. Families are losing REAL homes. Heads of households are losing REAL jobs. Children are in need of REAL healthcare. We need REAL-TIME action not SURREAL words.

It’s time for all of us to GET REAL and stop supporting and endorsing a Yellow Brick Road candidate that went to the Wizard and got a good-speaker merit badge from The Lollipop Guild!

McCain or Clinton are the only REAL choices.

I like Mike...I like Mike...I like Mike...Vote Huckabee!

What is all the fuss over Clinton. The mantra I keep hearing, "experience trumps change", has nothing to do with the current slate of candidates. None of the candidates have any experience as a president. In fact, the total experience of the two democrat front-runners is less than any of the three democrats who have already dropped out of the primary.

Given the fact that neither of the democrat candidates have the kind of experience worth mentioning 'change' IS the real theme. And the only two candidates that have 'change' as the theme of their campaigns is Obama and Edwards.

No more of the past... we do need change. If the republicans want McCain as their candidate, so be it. But democrats must nominate someone who wishes to leave the past behind, and that means either Obama or Edwards (or both!).

Craig

Hillary Clinton is such a joke. Seriously this woman is terrible. GO ROMNEY

Maybe we should assign an ex-president to every campaign to make things even.
Hillary calls herself the candidate for change and she is still running a campaign where she is the first lady and Bill needs to run the show to keep her votes. It's so sad what politics have come to in this country.

John Edwards has more experience than any of the 3 Democratic frontrunners, Hillary has 6 years, Obama has 4 years. And I'm sorry, but if you Clinton supporters are stupid enough to think that going around and visiting school-children and creating programs that didn't do nearly what they should have counts as experience, you'll be sorry when she's handling more important things like Iraq and Iran and realizes that its nothing like reading stories to 1st graders.

Anyone but Hillary, please!!!!!!!

going over the comments on several of these [gimmicks] the consensus appears to always be that Barack [at this time due to lack of experince and the present country world situation] can not get the number one slot in this election. Mccain due to AGE and ridiculous Positions and war mongering will end up on a funny farm instead of the GOP nominee. Guliani won't know which wife or mistress to become first lady is not a serious candidate, Huckabee will replace Letterman as a song and dance man on late night, Romney will implode if he doesn'get his way so it looks like the last man standing will be Ron Paul and the GOP won't like him because he appears to be to honest..so aaround and around we go .

Whats with the "WE ARE ALL WITH YOU HILLARY"? Obviously everyone isn't with you, because you have lost as much as you have won. It's so lame how divisive you are being. Grow up, don't vote because she is a woman or he is black. Vote on who will fix America, and keep us from sinking into more foreign policy debacles. But cut that crap out. Its pitiful.

To Greg who posted below. Your statement is incorrect. All of Edwards support will not go to Obama. Some of it yes, maybe a majority of it. But some will be lost to apathy because their candidate drops out and as a result they will not vote at all. Some will however go to Clinton, especially because she is in the lead and people realize they want to support a winner. I'm not a Clinton supporter. I support McCain. But people too often underestimate Hillary.

As a lifelong Democrat–I'm so disillusioned with my party and how the DNC leadership is distancing itself from John Edwards from shunning the special interests groups money.
He is unbeholding to ANY special interests groups. Man...as soon as they saw he was REALLY serious about that (and still doing pretty good in the polls)–the liberal lobbyists and traditional doners (AARP, ACLU, DSPA, NEA) all pressured to pull their money from the party!!1

Now they're desperately trying to minimize John Edwards–when he's the only DEM candidate who isn't accepting special interests funds (yet all the bunch–say it's wrong)....go figure.

I'd like to see McCain and Edwards got at it in the general election. Both are viable–have great messages, and I believe will do America a lot of good.

If Hillary or Obama run in the general election:...I'll vote for McCain, or just stay home and drink.

And I'll become an independent.

Change is... voting for the first female president in the history of the USA.

After reading all the comments, one can only hope that these people can actually read a ballot correctly since their spelling and grammar is embarrasing! Instead of worrying about health care and job security, maybe we should look at the adults in this country and re-educate them! It might clean up a lot of "problems" if they knew how to read and write correctly!

I am still unsure about my vote, or whether or not it makes much difference in Michigan, but I'm glad to have a place to vent an opinion on the media coverage of Hillary Clinton's "crying" incident. I watched that clip about 6 times, closely, and NEVER saw any indication that her eyes "welled up". I even heard one man refer to it, in his question to Madelyn Albright in a recent interview, as a "breakdown"! ALL it was was a somewhat choked voice showing what I think was sincere feeling in a relatively smaller, cozy setting where she was more relaxed. I've seen Bush tear up more than once. Bush Sr. really did cry in a clip last year talking about his son, as well as others, and never saw such biased coverage. Come on News Media – and anyone scared of real people showing real emotion! Get real! Get human! You should fear someone who doesn't have such strong feelings about our country! Get a grip!

LOOK CLOSELY, everybody! These polls are VERY BAD FOR HILLARY. Her once gigantic lead in national polling has nearly evaporated. These polls represent (-11) for Hillary and (+14) for Obama since last polling.

This is not good news for the Hillary campaign. Please read closely before you celebrate.

Hillary is RAPIDLY losing ground and yet her supporters are cheering this poll, which is actually bad news for them. Informed voters?

I think the middle class voters are finally letting the news media that they will pick someone that can offer change and experience .With this country in a recession it not been that long ago when another smart President (named Clinton)got this country out of one and gave us the strongest economy in this county's history .We actually had a surplus not a deficit !!! The voter remember this and yes Obama is a nice man but the working man wants somebody who can hit the ground running because that is what it will take . HILLARY 2009 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a lifelong registered Democrat I will support OUR candidate. Those of you who feel you need to "threaten" with voting for Bloomberg or god help us, the GOP are acting like rotten-spoiled children.
All of the Democratic Candidates are strong, solid and capable. We need a Democrat in the White House again to clean up the mess of the Bush Administration. Don't waste your vote by casting it for a third party candidate! Remember what happened to Gore due to Nadar. Democrats and Independents need to unite behind whomever the Democratic Candidate is.

this would be a disaster. two war mongers vying for the nation's highest office. sickening. no change. we get two Bush juniors. the elites (military-industrial complex) are shaping things their way again. we only think our votes decide things.

I am glad America is beginning to see what is real and what is not.
Hillary is the only one that can salvage and undo the damage Bush is going to leave behind. Obama is not ready. The USA is a super powerful nation that needs a strong leader. Yes Obama is likeable BUT can you take that to the bank?. No.
Please NO repeat of the Bush era which was inexperience, inexperience, inexperience.
Lets see what a woman can do. (An experienced, smart and tough woman). Hillary reminds me of Margaret Thatcher. She was not called the "Iron Lady" for nothing. She was soooo good for the UK. Hillary will also be soooooo good for the USA. Give a girl a chance.
God bless you all.

TO isaac coolguy -

He's not doing a good job uniting people now regarding race. All he's doing is using this out of line quote to gain votes. Thats not how you unite!!

Hillary v. McCain? If that what it comes down to, I think I am moving to Canada. I will have lost hope if either gets elected. I do know what is worse, a Bush-Clinton monarchy or an imperialist military dictatorship.

Ron Paul
John Edwards
Barack Obama
Dennis Kucinich
hell, even the San Diego Chicken!

ANYBODY BUT A NEOCON!

After 8-12 years (20 years if you count Bill Clinton as a "neocon") of neoconservative presidents, America really needs some kind of CHANGE!

some how i expected a lot of HC supports stapled to CNN -america is being led to the slaughter house -our Media is so intertwined in a folly of selling headlines, 1/2 truths and upskirts that we have really forgotten who we are and where we want to be in history. our economy is collapsing, dollar losing value and are more thraten then ever before. since 1980 with VP Bush to Pres Bush to Clinton to Clinton to Bush to Bush and now i cant believe that people are so blind, so brainwashed to actually believe in another Clinton. try something different, time for a NEW FACE, a NEW DIRECTION and that cant be provided by the same old master.

Its time for Edward to unite with Obama. You both guys are smart and i believe that Obama/Edward ticket is what we need now.

God help us....

Yeah, Hillary holds a lead anywhere there is a DIEBOLD machine – and gee, isn't this just about the the percentage she HAPPENED to allegedly win New Hampshire by – 42 to 37%??? Don't accept it, its a Republican fix – they control the DIEBOLDS, and they WANT to run against Clinton.

Who cares who is up in the polls, they are all the same......

Clinton: globalist, open borders, amnesty, social welfare
McCain: globalist, open borders, amnesty (my friends, they are all gods children and your tax dollars will support them), corporate welfare (bail-outs)
Obama: globalist, open borders, amnesty, social welfare
How many people have contacted their representative and let them know their position on these issues?

I'm not sure why the candidates say they can change anything. They don't make law. If their policies were believed and supported they would be left in Congress. If the people truly thought their candidate could change anything, they should be in Congress. Nothing will change but you'll feel better? Good strategy.

Transparency in govt isn't putting more legalese info on the net as Clinton proposes. It would be doing like our state does in it's voter pamphlet, publishing the legal (dull, complex, usually not comprehensible), but also publishing all legislation in a version that is easily understood along with a pro and con argument. This should be done before the debate begins so that the people can participate. Why aren't the people insisting on it? It's not the candidates that create change, it's the people.

Sean (in Detroit). My blurb on Hillary leading the polls was based on this morning's facts.

Hillary has led in the national polls for quite some time, indeed. But she did have interrupted moments (as the leader) when Obama Fever hit, and all the "inspired" folks jumped on the bandwagon. So, I think I'm plenty informed, but thanks for your concern.

I suggest you pick up a paper – every now and then. You'll find that if YOU read the facts, you won't need to write baseless blog entries.

I wish you and your candidate luck in the upcoming primaries..

Hillary 2008!

Obama will unite America. I just can't wait to vote for this handsome and intelligent guy. God bless Obama, God bless America.

Anybody who believes this is an idiot. 48% of the country HATES Hillary Clinton, and will not vote for her under ANY circumstance. The Republicans are DROOLING to have her as the Democratic candidate, because they will fry her for lunch with her own words, her own actions, and her own video clips. WATCH.

Part of me has to wonder about these polls and their accuracy.

With more and more people, especially young people, forgoing landlines in favor of mobile phones, are these polls setting us up for another "Dewey Defeats Truman" scenario?
Are these pollsters only calling landlines? Are they conducting in person interviews? What methods are they using to reach people?
I think these are important questions because they could greatly impact how accurate they are.

It will all change for Barack once Edwards realizes that he can't win, bails out, and throws his support towards the "change" candidate that can take on the Clinton machine.

Enjoy the numbers while they last Clinton fans, once Edwards bails out the election is over for the Dems.

!!!!!!!!!!! WE WANT HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!

Not Hillary, not seth lord Mccain. Both of them have been in the whitehouse for so long that I don't think they can make any changes. Hillary, when she was the first lady, she created a big mess with the health care plan, what make you think she can do the job. As for Mccain, you can't teach an old dog with new tricks. Plus, there is nothing in his brain. 8 years of the clinton's in the whitehouse is long enough, and 27 years of Mccain in Washington is even worst. These two are career politicians. Get them out of Washington ASAP.

Michigan, Vote for someone that has the executive experience, leadership skill, and know how to create jobs and fix our economy. Romney is the one.

Go for Romney, Michigan.

Clinton ma woju uche,obama should wait another 8 years to get his turn,meanwhile he should learn under clinton's tutelage

One of the things I don't like about Obama is the fact that he often doesn't take a stand on tough votes by voting either "Yes" or "No". Instead he votes "Present".
He appears to be sidestepping so that he can claim all sides of an issue.

It appears very calculating by him, so I think all of the Obama fans are not seeing that Barack Obama is NO different than any other politician. He is not heaven-sent after all.

I also don't like it that he and his minions are trying to stir up race in this campaign. That is more dividing than anything else! He ought to be ashamed, and it calls his character into question to me.
As a Democrat, I won't be voting for him, for these reasons, and others.

I think CNN should be ashamed at how they have approached this political season, with their obvious biases showing. CNN used to be a respected news organization. This type of reporting makes them appear very tabloid to say the least.

(I suppose now you won't print my comments, or will you not print them based on the fact that they are anti-Obama?)

If Hillary wins, it's a great opportunity for Bloomberg. Many Dems including myself don't trust Hillary and unless she can get Obama's followers, she will not win.

Dem/Ind will split. Republicans will win the election...

MY FELLOW REPUBLICANS- PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE VOTING FOR ANOTHER VETERAN JUST TO SAY THANK YOU (REMEMBER WHERE BOB DOLE GOT US?)

The Real McCain Record
Obstacles in the way of conservative support.

By Mark R. Levin (National Review)

There’s a reason some of John McCain's conservative supporters avoid discussing his record. They want to talk about his personal story, his position on the surge, his supposed electability. But whenever the rest of his career comes up, the knee-jerk reply is to characterize the inquiries as attacks.

The McCain domestic record is a disaster. To say he fought spending, most particularly earmarks, is to nibble around the edges and miss the heart of the matter. For starters, consider:

McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.

McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.

McCain-Lieberman — the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry — through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases — in American history.

McCain-Kennedy-Edwards — the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients’ bill of rights.

McCain-Reimportantion of Drugs — a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety (hey Rudy, pay attention, see link).

And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialist, class-warfare rhetoric — tax cuts for the rich, not for the middle class. The public record is full of these statements. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts.

As chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, McCain was consistently hostile to American enterprise, from media and pharmaceutical companies to technology and energy companies.

McCain also led the Gang of 14, which prevented the Republican leadership in the Senate from mounting a rule change that would have ended the systematic use (actual and threatened) of the filibuster to prevent majority approval of judicial nominee.

Vote Romney – the candidate with a very impressive record of decades of achievements in business, as governor of MA, and with the SLC Olympics. Romney is a *proven* leader who has shown time and time again that he can actually get things done. Talk is cheap, accomplishments matter.

Everyone is attacking Hillary but I don't see anyone asking Barack about his church that is all about building up African-Americans. What about a president that is working for everyone not just certain people? If Hillary Clinton was the member of a church that said only give to white charities, we'd never hear the end of it. I actually thought when this began, if Hillary didn't get the nomination I'd vote for Barack but, now I'm disgusted with this stuff that came out about Martin Luther King, Jr. If you listen to what she's saying, she is in no way indicating that Dr. King didn't have a major role in civil rights. She is just saying that it took a President to actually put the legislation through.

Franky, New York: you couldn't be more misinformed.

This is a NATIONAL poll. Hillary has always led in national polling. Her lead is now the SMALLEST it has ever been, and this poll represents her losing a ton of ground to Obama.

pay attention to the facts, please

actually, I believe they are two peas in a pod, should they both win the nomination, there really wont be a reason to vote, one is just like the other, my hope is they dont, vote on the issues folks and you will vote for Romney

Barack Obama is the only candidate who is able to unite all people. Regardless of race, age or nationality. Hillary, can only copy what has already been said by Obama, she has a record of habitually changing her stance on various issues. Especially the war! While our kids are being killed at an alarming rate Hillary is sticking to her usual rhetoric. It's time for a change, for the old politicians to give the new political leaders (like Obama) an opportunity to make the necessary changes that they never had the guts to implement. Hillary, is a user and will change her mood (crying) according to what ever climate is prevalent in a particular area to win votes.

STRONG Hillary supporter!!!!! Our next president needs to have experience to lead our nation and Hillary Rodham Clinton is the candidate for the change we need. This country was in better shape when President Bill Clinton was in office. Look at what President George Bush and the Republicans have done to this economy. The Clintons left the white house with a balanced budged. They had to clean up the mess of Republicans and WE NEED TO VOTE FOR HILLARY SO SHE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. We DO NOT need another Republican in office. The United States will only getter deeper and deeper in debt. Have FAITH that your vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton WILL BRING THE RESULTS we all need. They all offer change, but Hillary will deliver RESULTS!!!!!! Go Hillary!

IS THIS ELECTION ABOUT BLACK AND WHITE? OR ABOUT MALE AND FEMALE? I THOUGTH WE GO TO THE POLL TO VOTE SOME ONE WITH THE ABILITY TO WORK FOR THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA. HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THIS NATION IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK. HOW MANY OF THINK WE NEED A CHANGE. HOW MANY YEARS HAS MRS. CLINTON BEEN IN THE SENATE? AND HOW MANY HAS OBAMA. LOOK PEOPLE THE WORLD WAITING TO SEE WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT. THINK ABOUT IT.

'present vote' = status quo.
For the freshmen senator who missed out most votes to talk about change is ludicrous. Only when one takes a stand on issues and goes all the way, can he/she claim to stand for change. PERIOD!!!!

If Obama can generate so much hate in few months/years, imagine how much hate he will generate when he spends more years in Washington.

I wonder if he is a uniter just like Bush.

Clinton, McCain, Obama, Juliani? What happened to Ron Paul? Why are the medias STILL ommitting him? Perhaps its because he cant be bought by big corporations. Are we forgetting all the scandals the Clintons caused when Billary was in office? And now Hilliam is running? Heaven help us ALL. If anyone but Ron Paul wins the election, America is SCREWED!(again)

At least Obama was honest enough to confess to using drugs as a young man( when not holding a Public Office); but we all know what Clinton did while in the White House, which he denied even in the face of credible evidence to the contrary.

I'm serious when I say...I do not know of a single person supporting HRC....and I live in the Democrat lock state of Connecticut....which Hillary are you voting for??

The strong brave self reliant woman (or the one who cried when someone asked how the campaign was going)

The one with "35 years experience" (or the one who has only held an elected position for 6 years...and was in essence a surgeons wife....you know you would never let the surgeons wife operate on you...)

The one from Arkansas who knew she would not be elected – only to buy land in NY to run for office (btw....when she was elected – she would not of qualified for a student loan as she hadn't lived in NY long enough)

The one who calls the war in Iraq "Bushs War" – but a quick scan of YouTube will find her Senate speech saying we "need to go to war to get rid of Saddam"

The one who claimed credit for the SCHIP bill....when in fact there is no mention of her name ANYWHERE on that entitlement bill (with no controls) – they dole money out to the states...and they can use for whatever they want...and do

Or the one who supports the NY governors plan to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens in some half-witted attempt to get them to purchase insurance – then after weeks of quasi support – basically pulls support for this

Or the one who offers up mandated Universal Healthcare – tells everyone that just by the billions we pay for uninsured who go to the emergency room – we won't have to increase taxes to insure 42 million...(and only the supporters of HRC would believe that)

Read up on Saul Alinsky....and they correlate her "proposals" to his teachings....and realize he was a grassroots Marxist...(aka...a socialist)

Now....which Hillary do you support again?? (there are so many to choose from)

I think both Hillary and Obama are excellent candidates. Too bad the campaign is already getting ugly. I'm leaning towards Hillary as the Democratic nominee, but I would be completely behind Barack if he were to come out the winner. As long as a Republican isn't in the White House.....

As I watch the evening news every day and I see how far down the toilet we have taken this country since the 60s, I can understand why the two party system is a joke. The Dems are kissing the rear ends of people who already have special laws made just for them so why should they play the game. (Hillary will win on the Dem side) Caucasians in this country Dem or otherwise do not respect people who have special laws and rules made just for that group of people so they will not vote for minorities especially on a national level. Now, if the powers within the socialist fabric of our government that run everything can somehow bring themselves to do away with the divisive laws and rules such as so called civil rights laws (passed against Southern States only), Affirmative Action Laws (passed against all others except Africans) and quota systems (same as AAL) then maybe we can get on to the business of working together in this country. But that may not happen because radicals on both sides would have nothing to gain by creating peace and cooperation between the people of this country.

Ron Paul is the only candidate willing to tell the truth and if truth trumps everything else in this world then perhaps the people will see the light before we get more of the SOS.

Of the three Democratic candidates, which one of them is the most desparate and dirtiest fighting of them all?

I think that Obama is a great speaker, perhaps as great as former President Clinton. But Hillary is the only candidate on the democratic side that has the ability and experience to actually get the job done. We've just lived through two terms of a lightweight presidential candidate (former failed oilman and part-time Texas gubernatorial figurehead, George "Shrubya" Bush)–Doesn't it make sense to get someone in office who can start cleaning up Shrubya's messes on Day 1?

LOVE YOU HILLARY!!! Florida is with you all the way!!!

I'm not white or black, but I can tell who is sincere and who is not. Believe me, Clinton could be one of the greatest presidents America will have. As for Obama, let's wait 8 years more to see how good he really will be.

Please vote for Ron Paul so that we do not have to get micro chip implants and become slaves to a one world government. Thanks.

Shuckin' and jiving, tears and smears work every time eh, Hillary?

If you did 5 minutes of research on Google, you'd know exactly what plans Obama has for when he wins.

And they're better than Hillary's especially concerning Health Care.

Lincoln was nothing but charisma and pretty speeches at first too. His weakness was lack of experience.

And if Hillary becomes the Democratic nominee, then i'm voting McCain or 3rd party. Hillary's dirty politics and polarizing nature are NOT what the country needs to change.

If Clinton wins the Democratic nomination I'm voting for Bloomberg.

I was for Hillary when all this started , but the Clintons have proved to me just how dishonest and crooked they are. Everytime Bill opens his mouth , it's another vote for Obama.

OBAMA 08

YOU GO GIRL WE ARE ALL WITH YOU.

*******************************

We?? You must have a feminist/socialist in your pocket!!! Vote for McCain, at least he will take a stand and make hard decisions. I think he can provide experience, strength, leadership, and bring us together better than any other candidate........ especially Hillary. Now she says she read all the intelligence data when voting for the war, but Bush didn't do what he said he was going to do. It used to be that the intelligence itself was flawed, but this is her new position of the day. What a liar and flipper!!

!WE ALL WANT HILLARY!

Wake up Edwards ! Join Obama and you will go together to the White House !

Come on, Obama-lovers...you have NO problem highlighting the polls when Mr. Obama is ahead, but now that Hillary has pulled ahead, the polls are "Silly".

Please make up your mind...

Go Hillary!!!

I suppose it is a little relieving to see that Hillary has been able to wage an effective campaign of spreading out slanted views of reality. Unfortunately, I do not think it'll be enough to carry our party through November. This is a big difference between Hillary and Barack; Barack has begun a movement. Hillary Clinton has opposed the movement with fairly negative campaigning(mailers in NH, claiming Obama has played the race card..) which is having huge ramifications within the Democratic party. Many of Obama's supporters are not going to vote for her in November, they'll be turned off. All of those young voters that he excited and brought into the process will be few in number like before. The many first-time voters that he brought into the party? A similiar story is likely, especially if she's going toe to toe against John McCain. Independents and liberal Republicans are more likely to hold a negative opinion of her. On the other side, the Republicans will be energized and excited. This doesn't just put her chances in the general election in danger, this puts our hold on the Senate and especially Congress in serious jeopordy. The heated battle between Clinton and Obama needs to cool down, otherwise we risk losing half of the next generation of Democratic voters. Do you think her negatives were bad before? I"m waiting to see how they look now.

DEAR HILLARY SUPPORTERS,

this is actually a very BAD poll for Hillary. She's down a whopping 11 percentage points since the last poll of this kind, while Obama is up 14%. He's making huge gains and she's slipping like crazy. "Go Hillary" is not an appropriate response. Your candidate is going down the tubes

The polls are showing that Hillary's support is declining and Obama's is rising nationally. Hillary has always been the front runner – and her lead is getting smaller.

we paid price for Bush.
but now facing the economy recession, we cannot afford to pay price for the second time for Obama.

Hillary 2008!

Did Hillary cried when her husband was cheating? Did Hillary or any politician cried on september 11? Hillary cried because she was tired of the campaign. I understand definitely what she is doing is stressful but in the other hand the opposition leader in Pakistan died for what she believe in, I do not want to see a wanted to be a super power nation leader crying. We cannot give sign of weakness in the world that we living.

I know that in the long run Sen. Clinton will prevail. Experience trumps change.

The country is in too much trouble to promote to president a senator who's only in the first half of his first term. We are a nation who values the work ethic. Everybody should work hard and pay their dues before deserving a promotion, and that certainly includes the biggest promotion of all, that of becoming president of the USA.

Go Hillary!!!!!!

You're right Greg, OH

If Edwards drops out his people will probably go to Obama they basically have the same Socialist platform. Unfortunately that won't fly in the general election and he'll lose big time

Hello Republican White House

If Clinton is elected, there won't be a single republican willing to cross the aisle to work with her. it will be nothing but divisiveness for a least another four years (and i'm sick of it).

Is this good for the country? i think not.

Obama the divider...not uniter...

Hillary/Richardson YES! Go Hillary, We need people who we know who they are! Obama is one big ? there should not be one hint of being anti-american when running for president. I think that answers it all.

Anonymous, there is no Obama hate. People are not attacking him the way people are attacking Hillary. Obama is just too green. He may have a shot in 8 years, but he needs to prove it first. You can't just "want" to be President. You have to be elected and you have to earn that. Americans are smarter.

Go obama continue you are the man the country is expecting to lead this great nation ur ability stand above that of hillary we need changes we need changes we need changes we need changes we need changes

These polls are entertaining. They have changed every month! Next month will be different too!

Yes, yes, entertaining.

If we get socialized medicine, I wonder where the Canadians are going to go for the good treatment?

They'll get it right at home, Bob. Based on how ignorant and ill-informed your above post was, I think it's a safe bet that you haven't watched Michael Moore's "Sicko". You should go down to Blockbuster and rent it – you'd learn a thing or two about the Canadian medical system, and how American health care compares with that in many other countries around the world.

And stop calling the plans put forth by the Democratic candidates "socialized medicine". It isn't, and using that term is merely a scare tactic the political right is using to rally non-thinking people such as yourself.

Funny, people keep pushing up Hillary. Ignoring the fact that a large, large portion of the electorate will not vote for her. She is seen as too polarizing. It isn't just about the presidential election. If Hillary is leading the democratic ticket, she may win. But it will really hurt keeping the lead or gaining in the House as well as the Senate. People don't seem to understand that.

Polls mean nothing anymore...its a snapshot of how americans feel at that moment theyre asked...Hillary and McCain are not the nominees yet after only winning 2 backwater redneck states....

in the past, maybe New Hampshire and Iowa were similar, but not anymore...every state is different now, and in some cases, different areas aof the same state are different. California is split in 2...Obama wins the Bay Area and Northern California....Hillary wins L.A. and southern california and the Hollywood weed smoking tree hugging organic food eating movie star community

to heck with a national poll before the day before super tuesday...its pointless

I'm very, very, very disappointed that the Clintons (yes both) are (once again) stooping to the smarmy level that they are in order to win. This is a bright overly ambitious couple that are so power hungry that they will resort to ANYTHING no matter how dirty or untrue, to win. I fear that this is only the beginning of a campaign of innuendo and outright lies that will result in Hillary getting the Democratic nomination only to be destroyed by everyone she will offend and alienate along the way . Much as I would like to support her, I do not believe this is a woman who understands leadership...only fighting, fighting,fighting. I firmly believe that she will do everything in her power to win, no matter who she destroys in the process. She is smart, ambitious,ruthless but not a leader, not a diplomat, and not someone who belongs in the most powerful position in the free world. She is not someone who is willing to compromise or allow anyone else power or visibility. Is this who we want as our President? Barack Obama may not be everything to everyone, but he is extremely wise and knows his limits. His is not promising to throw billions of $ to buy votes, nor is he claiming to do things that neither he (nor Hillary in spite of her intentions and ambitions) can possibly do without knowing who their Congress will be and what the world will look like in 12months. She a fighter, a no-holds barred type of individual who will sacrifice anything and anybody to get what she wants, but I fear her blind ambition for herself (and Bill) far outweigh any good she will ever do for this county.........don't we already have someone like that in the Whitehouse? Do we really want another one?

I agree with the poll results. It will be "Tears 'n' Smiles" Hillary against Straight Talking McCain.

Now I wonder who they will choose as running mates??????

Geoffrey Dudley January 14, 2008 9:26 am ET

"When will African Americans quit drinking the Clintons bathwater"

^^^^^^^^^^ GDudley I find this personally offensive You are doing the exact same thing that you accuse Bill & Hillary of doing!!!

The disparaging remarks concerning race, religion, age, and gender need to stop. Grow up America - the Nation is going to slide backwards unless everyone gets a grip NOW.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH time to move forward.

let the woman Rule the biger world and she can do it from Singapore

McCain vs Hillary

Change, yeah right..

so much obama hate

Ok – I don't get it. Someone please explain to me how out of one side of her mouth Hillary says she can unite the country and out of the other side of her mouth she won't deny that there is a vast right-wing conspiracy. (see 1/13 Meet the Press)

Not only does she have 35 years of experience, she has 35 years of bitterness. She has 35 years of actions she needs to pay back – both positive and negative.

Is Obama the perfect answer? Obviously no one is perfect. What I want to someone who is smart, will listen to people, is moderate, is a diplomat and honestly – speaks well in public and motivates people. I think that's him.

Do I want Republicans to vote for him in addition to Democrats? Of course... why would I want an 'us vs. them mentality' – why would anyone really want that? That's why I think the independent party is the new peoples' party...

JQ

The results of these national polls are great news. It shows that people are really looking at Obama's campaign and seeing a great lack of substance, experience, and understanding of critical issues. It's true, if one goes to his website, they'll find that someone has written some goals and positions for him. But, I listen and read everything I can find about these candidates and have never heard Obama articulate exactly how he will achieve his goals. He speaks eloquently in generalities and catch phrases delivered in soaring, inspirational tones. It is a relief to see that American voters are seeing through all of this, looking for a candidate who knows the issues, can clearly articulate their plans, and has the experience to deliver. From the very beginning, Edwards and Clinton have been getting out there, explaining their positions and how they plan to achieve them. In listening to them, many of us realize that they are the candidates who are truly "fired up and ready to go".

go HILLARY!!! show them once and for all who the real winner is.

Go Hillary ya

Go, Hillary!!!!!!!! We need strong leadership. I feel confident that ALL John Edwards supporters won't go to Obama. I am sure many of them have the ability to see that Hillary is ready to lead our country, and that Obama has a pretty speech with no substance, and can excite a crowd like a rock star or sports game, but hasn't given out any plans as to what he will do when/if he actually wins (God help us then!!!) We need Hillary!!!!

YOU GO GIRL WE ARE ALL WITH YOU.

BLACKS, WHITES, LATINAS, JEWISH, KOREANS, CHINESE, INDIANS, JAPANESE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RACE WE ARE WE ALL BEHIND YOU MRS. CLINTON

LADIES LETS MAKE HISTORY. VOTE FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. LETS PUT A STOP TO THIS WITCH HUNT AND THE DOUBLE STANDARD THAT IS PUT UPON WOMEN AND EQUALIZE THE PLAYING FIELD ONCE AND FOR ALL.
LETS CHANGE THE WORLD BY ELECTING THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE FREE WORLD.
LIKE DR. MAYA ANGELOU SAYS LETS RISE. LETS MAKE HISTORY.

Not even a single mention of Ron Paul. The revolution will not be televised!

I am a white male, I want Obama to win. That said no one can predict what will happen when white Americans pull the curtain to the booth to pull the lever. That said I think Obama needs to be the nominee because America needs to know where it stands on racism and how far we have come.

What a sad day for our country. Its clear now that for those African-Americans that don't support Obama feels he is not black enough. I have come to a conclusion that AAs are more racial than white folks (sad but true). They feel Obama is not black enough, is from a white and African heritage and has no history of slave oppression in his family blood and that is why they secretly won't vote for him. They (AA) forget that first and foremeost that they are originally from Africa like Obama and if they think a real AA (like they say) will have a shot at the POTUS 40 years from now they must be joking.

AA should give Obama a fair chance and hear him out, not voting for him because he is black, but they should not hold him to the standard of not being a real AA because that is racism.

Obama is not about race and I am sure about this. He is about our future and the Clintons should pack their bags and go home wherever that is. What did the Clitons forget in the White House that they are so eager to get back there? Did Bill hide a blue dress somewhere that bush hasn't discovered yet?

Please Democrats we can't be afraid of losing to the republicans for all you Clinton supporters. Obama has shown the potential to draw more independents to our side if he is nominated and we need that to win the White House. If we vote for Hillary then expect a divide of the democratic party and a strong Independent candidate.

Hillary will take the democratic party down for real borthers and sisters, and we will blame ourselves for our demise with another republican candidate.

Obama and Biden as VP is our sure ticket to win the whole thing.

I'm glad to see that America is waking up after the Obama party with a hangover. Seeing the Obama campaign at night with beer goggles on, it looks quite compelling. When you wake up the next morning and see it in the light of day, you see it is all just smoke and mirrors. No substance. And the divisiveness is especially disheartening.

The Baracka Hussein Obama campaign has done some irreparable damage to the Democratic party and has already set us back. It's time for some healing and some substance.

Let's stop dreaming about going to Nobama's "mountain" and let's start putting together a plan to fix this country. Let's join the only candidate who has already started that process.

HILLARY 08

i feel that this entire obama hillary thing is ridiculous. if any one started the race card in this "battle" it was obama and his wife for the way they voice themselves. saying things like it is our time and so forth. if anything... THAT makes it a race issue. hillary is a strong woman with exceptional experience and by far the best candidate the democrats have.

If these polls are correct and Clinton & McCain become the nominees – this is the best possible scenario for the Republican party to maintain the White House.

I'm one of millions of Americans for whom Clinton is the only Democrat I will NEVER vote for, and McCain is the only Republican I would EVER vote for.

What an interesting development!

I guess Obama's attemt to spin the Racial Card did not work. We are smarter then that Obama.

Its interesting how the Democratic elites are all about helping minorities, right up until one runs against them. The irony here of course is if we get Obama in and blacks are perceived to be making it in this country, then we obviate the reason for Democrats to exist. Dems *need* poor people, otherwise they'd stop winning elections.

But you know the biggest problem I have with the Dems is that they talk about everything they're going to give you and never who they're gonna steal it from. People are weird, they think the government somehow has money of its own. No one on the left is looking at the mathematics of our dollar crisis, yet they sucker in alot of people who think we can afford socialized medicine. If we get socialized medicine, I wonder where the Canadians are going to go for the good treatment?

Maybe Paul is left out because he is not getting any votes in the contests held so far. That and his newsletter from the 90s. How could the man get elected when he could not control a lousy newsletter published in his name?

The Clintons will stop at absolutely nothing to overtake the White House for a third time. Their tactics, and their utter disregard for truth and ethics is absolutely disgusting.

Mr. Obama has a habit of selectively taking quotes out of context to pump up his health care plan (FACTCHECK.ORG) now what was said by the Clintons. His states he worked as a community organizer, show me now how these communities are still united. He believes he is the new Dr. King . He was placed here to continue his work, he has a long way to go before that happens. If any one started the racial theme I blame Mr. Obama . He is a divider not a unifier. Next he'll say a women place is barefoot , pregnant and in the kitchen. His racial undertones are sly. Watch out for those shifty eyes Only thing going for him is the ability to distort the truth. If he is nominated this country will be thrown backwards to the 60's and 70's. Both Obama and Ewards have a plan, Obama and Edwards ticket. and to get it kick and puch Hillary all the way. More of the media need to hit Obama with the hard questions, they are to soft on him.

Polls are non-sensical at this point.....the sample size too small and cannot serve as a homogenous indicator.

Clinton has more skeleton's in her closet than any of these candidates.
McCain is too old.

I guess Obama's spin with the Race Card is not working. People are seeing threw that. GO HILLARY!!! (but, these polls mean nothing anymore).

Carol January 14, 2008 9:24 am ET

Once again, Ron Paul is left out of your "report". Sickening.

They're only disregarding the insignificant.....

When will African Americans quit drinking the Clintons bathwater. There recent commets show the Clintons care more about there legacy than they care about African Americans and America. Now we see this about power not people.

All of you have to remember all of Edwards % will go to Obama

Once again, Ron Paul is left out of your "report". Sickening.

A lot of people are beginning to realize that Obama stand no chance of winning the electoral college. We don't need another Al Gore situation where our nominee wins the popular vote but doesn't win the electoral college.

Lean on Barac hard; regarding his inexperience.
Go get em' Hillary.

I am so glad to see that the american people are no longer falling for the medias false coverage of the presidential race. Hillary was the first to actually come up with a plan while the others were fighting like children. This is a tough woman with her sleeves rolled up ready for anything that comes her way. The people are looking for substance instead of a feel good preacher. Thanks for leading the way Hillary I knew that you would prevail. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY CLINTON 08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who else is sick and tired of listening to the ME ME GIMME NOW Ygeneration whine and snivel and the CYNICAL Xgeneration disparage everyone else's candidate in order to build up their own. Of course the hillaryhaters are in a league all their own (they need to seek professional help for the hatred that they so vocally vent out on others)!!

"Obama The Great Uniter should read Obama The Great Divider". His supporters have done more to split the Democratic party and NOW the whole Nation apart with the racist accusations than Obama has done to bring everyone together in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's DREAM OF ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN LIVING TOGETHER IN PEACE AND HARMONY REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION, OR GENDER.

The notion that ANY candidate is not electable because of their race, religion, gender OR age is utterly wrong. America is a Great Nation that needs to grow up again and move forward. There is still so much work to be done that we ALL need to come together to get it done.

These polls are silly at this point. They may influence some people to vote either with or against the polls. There might be some significance to them after February is over; since most of the primaries and caucuses will be over by then. I will believe them more later on when the nominees are chosen at the conventions. I really think that it could be a two person race after Nevada and South Carolina for the Democrats if Edwards doesn't do well.

Go HILLARY!
