People ask thus Mrs. Hillary first lady experience count? ofcours it counts why you think she was elected a senator ,it was for what she had done while a first lady!

The Clintons have help the black community her in the U.S.A. An have done more help in Africa than Obama has. They help to get the medication for aids at a cheaper price to save lives , thats probably more than what Obama has ever done for Africa. I know Mr.Obama help in Africa by getting a little School built that now is ovanding . An all this happen while Mr.Obama in office an Mr. Clinton out of office .Know you tell me who cares more for the black community.

Go Obama! … Tame the beast!…Hooray!
Listen, listen to what America is saying to Clinton supporters, either you are arrogant or ignorant or both (like the Judge told OJ about his slickery). Hillary voted for this war and now she won't even stand by her own vote, she back peddles, we need to go forward. Four thousand of our children have died, an many severly injure for life, their souls mangled, Our children that barely survive do not trust their own government to care for them, where was Hillary when are children were buried, wondering in hospital hallways for weeks for medical attention, needing basic supplies like food and shelter for their families. No one wants this scandalist pair to run our country. What country would take either of them as a threat, they are looked down on by every overseas government. No to a impeached former President and his wife, My God, have some respect for your country and our children that are trying to heal, and our children that are DEAD!

As Amerians, we FORGET for easily. As in the past, we have backed away from "old" Senate politicians with lots of "experience" from even competing in such a race. I guess our reasoning then was simple, honest, and straightforward: those are "corrupted, bought and sold over time" senators, period!

Now that Hillary is taking this as her mantra, "Senate related experience" has become her ONLY major standing and people are applauding it. I just can't believe it.

"Change" is what we had always wanted, and the democrats now have that opportunity NOT to invest it in Hillary. Her experience, limited as is, suggests that she has been bought and sold aleardy. She will NOT do the peoples' bidding!!! Stay clear of her, she is not Bill.

Didn't it also back Romney? Or am I remembering wrong? If so, why no sign of it here? Keep it fair.

Are all Clinton suporters whiners? How come no one complained when Mrs Clinton received the major endorsements by Iowa newspapers? People need to open their eyes. For example,Hillary was O.K. with the caususes being set up for the culinary workers but the minute she didn't get the endorsemtn she takes it to court. How phony can you get? Please, please Nevada voters. Vioe for Obama othrwise we get a republican in November.

Hillary lovers have dirtied this whole forum.

^^^^^^^^^ This from one of Obama's supporters? The candidate promising Unity?

Versus the nasty lewd filth that spews of out the mouths of the hillaryhaters without end? Maybe we should all hope that Obama decides to split the Democratic party and make a third Populist Party for himself and all of his base fans because clearly the Democratic Party of THE people and for THE people no longer applies here.

Obama the candidate for a Change FROM the Democratic party!

Please do GO AWAY Obama and take your more upscale academia highfalutin' yuppie guppies and wannabes with you - wasn't once with Kerry enough? The rest of us will even all chip in and send you a nice bottle of French Bordeaux wine - so sorry we can only AFFORFD to buy one.

Although I'm a Obama supporter, votes count, not endorsements. I hope that he wins Nevada to give people courage to believe that change is possible but it takes everyone to want change and right now America is a pessimistic country.

To: Hope LV,NV, I thought "Good Judgement" was one of Barack Obama's selling points. This is an ongoing practice in Illinois. Barack Obama has had ample time to call attention to it, to investigate, to call for an any investigation but has not. Barack Obama has stated publicly that he is an advocate for Hispanics but this discrimination continues in his own state despite him being placed on repeated notice. To date nothing has stopped this form of discriminatoin against Hispanics such as myself and he has full knowledge and understanding.

Since Clinton didn’t get the endorsement of the union…she’s willing to support a legal challenge to suppress your vote. Wake up people….if she’s willing to do it now….what else is she willing to do to get elected. I don’t want to see her get the nomination because she has too much baggage. Half of the country is against her from the start. And the Republicans will spend the majority of their time trying to start investigations into whatever. I just want a fresh start with someone positive. Obama takes hits because of inexperience….but the fact is he has held an elected office longer than Hillary. He’s been in the trenches fighting for civil rights and labor unions. He got my vote and if Hillary wins the nomination…I won’t vote in the General Election.

Jan - Have you ever thought that maybe experience is what corrupts a politician? That maybe what we need is someone who isn't "in" with all the powerful lobbyists and doesn't already know how to manipulate their powers? Experience is the norm of political Washington. What we need is - guess what? - change! And having the same two families, who know have plenty of experience, know Washington like the back of their hands, and will use that knowledge to their profit, is certainly not change.

Go Hillary!!!! - You are our new President.

I think Obama speeches are fabulous. I stayed in and watched the two hour debate yesterday and feel that each democrat had "their moment"…I don't vote on what's popular but what is right and that is how I feel about this election.

People shouldn't vote on an ideal, a movement without action. Words are words. Action is action. Insightful knowledge, best practices, and a solid record are very important.

Hillary Clinton isn't the most likeable (people are saying) but she is the most qualified. She is more knowledgeable and has accomplishments to go along with it!

She had me at HELLO!

Las Vegas, vote for OBAMA!

Robin in Los Angeles says VOTE OBAMA! Los Angeles is hosting several house parties for Obama on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2008 in our efforts to get everyone registered and get the word out for Obama. There are several PACS endorsing Obama and we're all rallying and endorsing Obama…the right candidate. FOR CHANGE.

VOTE BARACK OBAMA!

Robin & Dion Miles

Dear chaos45i If this incident has actually occured I am sorry that this happened and I say alleged because this is the internet. I am a woman and an ethinc minority, I have been discriminated by many even my own ethnic group but in no way do I take my own personal experiences as a reflection of the masses nor do I consider myself to be the representative for all of my race and gender.
How does your one incident involving you equate to a hate/or dislike for all Hispanics as opposed to a bad judgement call?

I have lived in Las Vegas for over 24 years.

For those who do not know this, the R-J is a right leaning newspaper, and not a terribly well written or research one at that. So take any and all of their endorsements with a grain of salt.

(At least now, with the advent of spelling and grammar check, the words are generally spelled correctly and use in the proper context.)

Im in California and we rocked last night in sacramento!!! We sat through a night with Bill Clinton and watched the debate from Hillary Clintons new headquarters in down town sacramento ! As The night went on Bill Clinton was to go over to UC Davis to speak to a crowd which was to be about maybe 500 people who call them self's The Youth For Change but……. as the night went on we started to hear that the crowd had grown to 3000 supporters and when the debate was over and when Bill Clinton arrived at UC Davis the crowd was so large they had to be turned away ! The Crowd was estimated at 10,000 people it was like 5 football fields long of people ! so i think this is much better then a newspaper endorsement ! wow what a night ! California is on Fire over Hillary and it seems as though the youth are standing behind her.

This was deleted and never posted on this file. Why? Is CNN shaping media coverage and trying to prevent Americans from having the ability to look into this form of discrimination in Illinois against Hispanics and Does CNN want to go on record and be spot lighted for stopping Americans from reporting discrimination?

Barack Obama during the Nevada debate mentioned He fights for Hispanics even when it is hard. I can tell you Barack Obama is Lying his head off. Let me assure America that in Illinois there is no fight in Barack Obama when it comes to Hispanics being denied the same race discrimination charges non-Hispanics can file as a matter of record. And CNN has the ability to check me and this information out so I do not understand why they would not post my comments every time. Why? Hispanic Americans have a right to know as well as All Americans who will vote this election.

This is what I have been posting on this very blog. I do not use profanity of say anything that I can not prove to CNN as I learned how important it is to keep good records. But this will not likely be posted.

When US Senator Barack Obama stole Caesar Chavez's slogan "Si Se Puede" or "Yes We Can" in a a self serving speech to Local 226 in Nevada he did not mention to the Hispanic/Latinos in America or in the crowd that he is condoning Hispanics in his own state of IL being prevented from filing race discrimination charges as we speak. The fact that Barack Obama will say and do anything to win Hispanic votes is bad enough but to use a man's words who can no longer fight for his people is disgusting. When Obama uses that powerful slogan of Caesar Chavez he is insulting those Hispanics that know for a fact why they can't file race discrimination charges in Illinois such as myself.
If Caeser Chavez were alive today I believe he would tell Barack Obama to his face "Yes WE (Hispanics/Latinos) Can Say Race Discrimination!"

This is the basic text of a letter that I faxed Jan, 10 2008 to Senators Harry Reid and John Kerry after hearing about his endorsement.

Notice, January 10, 2008
Regardless of the fact you US Senator Harry Reid are a longtime friend of IL US Senator Dick Durbin(as reported in the public domain). A record exists that shows you US Senator Harry Reid and you US Senator John Kerry in August 2006 were made aware by me,————-, that presidential candidate/Illinois US Senator Barack Obama and co-chair Obama 2008/ Illinois US Senator Dick Durbin had been placed on prior formal written notice that when I a Hispanic American citizen reported incidents of race discrimination towards me by Hormel foods Corp., UFCW, and Target Corp. the agencies the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(for instance, but not limited to) refused and are still refusing (even to this date) to afford me, a US American-born Hispanic citizen from the state of Illinois, the same full and equal protections under title VII, initially attempted to dissuade me from filing, continues to treat me in a clear biased, unequal, and discriminatory manner, is to this date continuing to cover up their misconduct, and intentionally misrepresenting what are the known true set of facts and circumstances in my particular situation. There can be no dispute that my civil rights are continuing to be violated, because I happen to be Hispanic. When non-Hispanics are allowed to assert race discrimination unimpeded. And todayyou US Senator Jhon Kerry endorsed presidential candidate/Illinois US Senator Barack Obama. I listened to your speech Mr. Kerry. You have made your discriminatory position on what is happening to me right now inIllinois abundantly clear. Unless you US Senator John Kerry, since you have full knowledge and understanding of my particular situation, pull your endorsement for presidential candidate Barack Obama. Immediately, you will be just as accountable & Guilty of racism against Hispanicssuch as myself in Illinois and elsewhere in this country. And to you US Senator Harry Reid I ask that you put aside your friendship/loyalty to anyone such as co-chair Obama 2008/ IL, US Senator Dick Durbin in the U.S. Senate to in fact investigate this clear & ongoing race discrimination against Hispanics/Latinos in the state of Illinois and finally do your job. You US Senator John Kerry should be exposing this racism right now so other US Senator colleagues will not be able to sell out Hispanics/Latinos. As you have in this election. This is a demand that no US Senator be allowed to endorse US Senator Barack Obama for the most important office in the US, unless they are first made aware of my particular situation. And that an endorsement for presidential candidate Barack Obama such as yours, US Senator John Kerry would be condoning this form of racism.

Chaos45i in Illinois

And who cares about the "major Nevada paper?" Whatever. Hillary 08!

There is a huge difference between the Clintons and Obama. J

ust recently, a young girl fainted on the stage when Bill Clinton was speaking at his wife’s rally. He looked back and continued to speak without a pause. The young girl was taken off the stage.

The same thing happened when Barack Obama spoke at his own rally. He stopped talking, gave her his water and did not start speaking until she was OK.

Give me a break! Who is decent, who is compassionate, who is human and who should be our President? You be the judge.

This paper deserves credit for noticing.

Who cares! Hillary has plenty of "famous" supporters; she just doesn't feel the need to tell the whole world. Obama's a stone face, he shakes hands and looks like he's going to the gas chamber. He needs to learn how to smile and show he likes what he's getting into. Hillary takes the most time to sign autographs, questions and shake hands "with a smile". She has the strength and personality to do this job from day 1. Yes Hillary is in or the worst case scenario, anyone but Barack Obummer.

It was a little scary when Barack said that he doesn't like when his staffers give him papers…because he loses them….and I guess he isn't very organized….He will make a great vice president……Hillary will get him organized and ready to carry on after her 8 years are over……!!!!

Neale really needs to read a little more……and get the facts!!!

Good judgement in endorsing Obama.
Democrats you need to ask yourself what the party stands for. Do we want people not to vote? That is what we say the Republicans do? How can we in all honesty say it is okay for Mrs. Clinton to do the same thing in Iowa, Nevada, and SC. Please my fellow democrats, I am asking you to wake up……

I'm tired of hearing about Hillary's "experience" Being married to a president hardly counts as executive experience. And besides, it's judgement that makes all the difference when the big issues come your way, and Hillary's judgement has been far less than stellar.

Go Obama!

Hillary did NOT campaign in Michigan…..just didn't take her name off the ballot…either did DK……you know the guy that they wouldn't let be included in the dabate last night…..well I figure she got 55% of the vote…uncommitted got 40%..so I figure uncommitted had to be divided up by votes for Obama and Edwards…..and whoever else…so if all of them had to divide the 40% doesn't it seem that they couldn't have gotten as many votes as Hillary DID!!! Even though it is a a moot point since they don't matter anyway!!!

Hi there:

What experience does he have, other then being black, for the
Presidency?

The Democratic debate was NOT held in a casino….it was a Cashman Center…that my friend is not a casino…obviously my friend you have NEVER BEEN TO LAS VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go obama. we luv ya.

Hillary could not even hardly win in a state where no one was running against her! LOL!

Our REPUBLICAN newpaper here in Vegas….WOW….big deal….wonder why they want OBAMA….hhhhmmmmm I think the repubs are getting scared of Hillary!!!….GO HILLARY…you did great last night…really showed which candidate is ready for the job on day one!!!

Hillary Clinton is more bent over on getting to Power at any cost .If she wins the democratic party nomination it is sure means that GOP is going to win the general election.

Does hillary's first lady experience count? because I am trying to make up my mind on who to vote for. I have done my research and found out that Obama have more than ten years in legislative experience both from from his stay in state and US senate. Clinton on the other hand has about 8 years of elected experience, so my question to the readers to help me make up mind is, as a first lady what kind of experience did she gain during those years? One more thing, the kind of experience she received as a first lady, are the peculiar to her or can any woman claim those experience because she was a first lady.

I like to do my own research and I hope you do yours. Think

Obama for President '08
He is definitely the best man for the job. Let's stop bashing and face the real truth that he has what it takes to bring us all together and move this Country forward in a positive way.

YES WE CAN, AND WE WILL!!!

Obviously, they don't know the definition of "viable".

Go OBAMA! - we are waiting for you in Texas!!!!!!!!!!

In as much as some people will refute this, HRC will find it hard to get elected as president. Experience as a first lady aside coz I dont see any other experience in public service on her CV! BO..has a better chance than her or else…get ready for 4 more yrs of republicans in the white hse….those are the facts….shout or scream or …'cry'. I just wish Edwards had the momentum.

Mande
Sydney Aussie

That's right it picked Obama because Obama is going to win. We workers are labor strong and all of us can vote because no one has to prove US citizenship in the primaries- we only have to show work ID. We have worked a long time and hard and Obama has promised to double our pay and give us free insurance and citizenship.

Viva Culinary Workers!
Viva Obama!

Obviously, they don't know the definition of "viable". Go Hillary - we are waiting for you in Texas!!!!!!!!!!

If you listened to the debate last nite, you would have heard HILLARY had the only ANSWERS backed up by ACTIONS she's already started or completed.

Obama walks the talk but isn't ready to lead a COUNTRY, maybe a community or large organization, BUT IF HE CAN'T even keep his desk clean and loses papers HE'LL NEED ANOTHER man or woman to keep him going. If you're disorganized, you're not ready to lead efficiently. Ask anyone who has to "keep the boss organized". Who really leads? They do. The organizer. SO we'd be voting for Obama's secretary!!!!

Every human being has there issues. I don't think Hillary should be judged for Bill's actions, nor should Obama be judged for Martin Luther King's. Two different parts of the spectrum I know.

Listen to what they say, and let's pray we are not all getting snowed this winter. Hillary has REAL EXPERIENCE to lead!

Hillary '08

As they should. Anybody but HRC in O8 (even a Republican or an Independent). May God speed the departure of the Clintons from public service. They are a disgrace and an afront to truth, honor, dignity, and self-respect.

My local paper endorsed G W Bush last election. That shows just how wrong news paper editors can be.

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN , YES WE CAN , YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN , YES WE CAN ,YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN,YES WE CAN.

Goooooooooooo Obama… The next president of the USA. We believe in you and we believe in change. We beleive you can change America for the best that it can be. I urge the people of Navada and S. Carolina to wake up and see that Obama is the best choice for president. He is the one that will unite us and bring about a change that no other candidate can bring. Obama truly care about the American people, he want to be president so he can make things better for us. He is the dreams of many young men and the hope of all American. Vote Obama 08. "YES WE CAN".

Sorry to inform you all but you better understand Edwards better win bacause too many americans will not vote for a woman or a black man. Because of that fact the republicans will win the white house.

A Vote for Hillary is a Vote for the GOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a Look at Michigan they saw her name they came out in THOUSANDS , Some even came from the HOSPICE they are checked in. DEMOCRATS BETTER WAKE UP QUICK!!!!!

ShaunM you are as stupid as a blind hen…. tell me what experience does Hillary have… Make a list. We need someone new, we need someone who can unite us and not divide us. We need Obama.

Things will never change. I agree with reader "Scared for our country”, concerning non-objective and unbiased journalism. Unless politically aligned (property of a political party) a newspaper should relate the facts and eventually explain things without interpreting. How can newspapers credibility stand if it endorses a specific candidate or party? I also agree with “Elisabeth’s” point of view but it gets more and more difficult to ‘see through what the candidates are really saying ‘as most of the time they are criticizing one another. Why don’t they just tell us what they are going to do, how they are going to do it and what they are not going to do. Maybe then we could have a real opinion on each one of them. It’s time to stop throwing trash at each other. Telling people how bad the other candidates are doesn’t me you are better.

I`m a German form Nürnberg , looking at Hillary clinton and littel known Obama, I think Jimmy is correct Obama is going to be a better president than Hillary. I most say littel did I know about Obama before Iowa. That man is going to make America proud if he is elected. trust me, looking at Republicans and Democrats he is the best. It will be a very big mistake if he is not elected.

Dear Nevadan's

I'm so sorry I can't be out there this weekend to help Barack Obama's message of "Yes We Can" be heard. I unfortunately have to work and will not be able to go as planned.

I trust that the Democrats will rally together and select their choice in their nomination to the best of their ability.

Although I am a devout supporter of Barack Obama, I would gladly stand with any of the other candidates in the race for the White House.

My reasons for supporting Obama stem from his inspiring vision to bring us into the political dialogue again. His commitment to straight honest talk with the American People. I make the case that all the candidates are great choices we all know this. However, why not choose the candidate that inspires you to believe in America's own self worth again. I like the Idealist. Sure the realist sounds safe, but we have the opportunity to dream and hope for something better. Wouldn't it be better to shoot for the stars and make it to orbit, than just sit on the top of the mountain, because that's what we are being told is realistic?

Nevada…….you may very well be the state the guides this nomination process. I humbly ask you to support Obama.

W. San Diego.

Hey Balto Nancy you should ask yourself why so many people hate Hillary.
Dont think people just dont like for no good reason because its not that. She is untrustworthy.
Do you not remember the scandal from her law firm that left one of her assoc in jail and the other killed himself!! Why wont she release those documents from the archives, hmm. Why would anyone in their right mind want to have another Clinton in the white house after 28 years of either a bush or clinton in office.

Maybe Obama has no experience but its better than establishing some dysfunctional dynasty. what then Bush's drunken daughters and sweet chelsey together in some out of control media debate. maybe instead of singers like the RNC debate in NC they can do a talent contest.

i am sure if i met hillary at a dunkin donut i would be very proud to meet her and say hi and be nice. i would never be personally mean to her.

Do you really want another clinton in the office for 4 more years?? 32 years of bush and clintons?? Even the Chinese pick someone different more often
we are suppose to move on and forward for this country's sake!! its not healthy to continue with stagnant leadership and by that i mean bush/clinton over and over and over and over again. can we please move on to a new era for this country.
thats whe no one likes her. and her continuing on only makes the dislike for her grow and grow.

Hillary has too many enemies (ie Republican enemies). Obama is the candidate who can bring the three major parties together, to actually have some resolutions and progress in the relationship between the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches of government. Right now nothing is getting done between the Democratic-led Congress, the Republican fillibusters, and Bush´s Veto pen. What we need to remember is, who is the best public face for America? Who do we want to be? Who´s face and words do we think best represents us, as an entire nation of 300 million people? And most importantly, who do we trust? Who has the best "vibe"? In my opinion, Obama is the most articulate of the candidates, with the most diverse background. With his unique perspective and grounding, he can bring this country together, and restore our respect in the rest of the world. Who is the one candidate who can represent ALL of us Americans? Who is the one of the few candidates who actually experienced poverty, racism, lived in a single parent house? Knows how it feels to be on food stamps? Hillary came from a rich family, and although she had "sympathy" for the civil rights movement, and does have a good perspective on the world.. its too divided for her between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans aren´t bad people, Democrats aren´t bad people. Both parties need to start working together, and Obama´s unique vision can make it happen. Obama 08!

Has anyone heard the outcome of the lawsuit filed by Clinton's people to prevent the union workers on the strip to caucus? Doesn't seem like a very democratic stance to take to try to prevent citizens from participating in the voting process.

Furthermore, the democrat debate was held in a casino. Imagine that. A place where illegals can feel comfy and safe. They can get in by showing Costco cards (or power bills). Yeah, viable candidates. Don't take my word of course, look it up.

It is better to endorse a candidate and be biased…then not to endorse anyone and still be biased. At least, you're honest and your readers know what to expect.

Major paper? Being from Nevada I must object. That rag isn't all that great. I dare say that the majority of its distribution is merely within the casinos to sit unread outside doors of hotel rooms, or in the employee dining rooms (so employees can find a BETTER paying job or read the comics). HA! How many people outside Nevada know of it? Major paper indeed. Deals on Wheels has more clout.

Actually shaun….obama has more experience than hillary. he has held an elected office longer. my issue is I don't want a candidate where half of the country is against from their first day. i see that in hillary. i like both edwards and obama. i think there would such an excitement for something different, it would help to move the country forward. the past week with the mess from the clinton(s) changed my mind on them. if obama don't get the nomination…i won't vote in the general election…you're going to get the same old stuff from both parties…so it won't matter.

Obama has virtually no record to run on and virtually no experience.. 2 years in the Senate.. and now all of the sudden this guy should be President?? Can we say ego? So far no OBama supporters can give a definitive reason why he is more qualified to be President. His record in the Senate has been undistinshished, at best. What are his major accomplishments? His record of leadership? His record of change? Please point out something real instead of spouting off all of the same feel good psychobabble. We are electing the next president of the United States, not the next Prom King.

It's highly unfortunate that this is becoming a black and white race. I am an highly educated MBA professional Black man with solid African roots , not just African American who strongly believes that Obama is not experienced enough to be President hence my voting for Hillary Clinton. This should not be about race but about being qualified enough from day one to lead our great country. After all my travels in Europe and Africa, I am insulted that Obama consider his foreign experience is solid with just a few years of living in Indonesia when he was a kid compared to over 100 visits of Hillary as First lady and a Senator. I guess we will be faced with the same inexperience that Bush had when he became President and look at the damage that he has done to our foreign relations. As a country we need to think very well and vote for experience and quality for change. or less we are going to be worse off that we were for the past 8 years

Obama for president someone who unstand the worker people.YES HE CAN

Voting Hillary will surely keep the Republicans in the White House.

I make up my own mind. No paper is gonna tell me what to do, or for whom for me to vote for! Thank goodness i am not in a union~and now I will never subscribe to the las vegas review journal!

Obama is NOT a VIABLE candidate!

NO YOU CAN'T! NO YOU CAN'T! NO YOU CAN'T!

I am shocked that anyone can vote for Obama. Get real and really listen to what he has to say. That is not much. You guys obviously don't have much political experience if you are voting for him.

I understand experience is important. But truth, honesty, and family values all mean a lot to me also. Mr. Obama has those. People say Mrs. Clinton has
experience because she is Bill's wife and she was the first lady. Well the last time I checked that doesn't make you the president.Bush's Dad was the president and his brother a governor, to bad, experience like that didn't help him any either. Let's get back to what matters most. Obama ' 08

NO WE CANT

Nobody’s second place finish in Michigan

On Tuesday, With no other major candidates names on the ballot, Hillary Clinton was able to get 55% of the vote in the Michigan Democratic primary, but the real story on Wednesday should be the 225,506 + who left their house and went down to their precinct, knowing their state had been striped of its delegates, and voted uncommitted.

When “nobody” runs against her, “nobody” starts with 40%. And “nobody” didn’t even have to campaign. “Nobody” spent no money in this race. “Nobody” didn’t even run one add. What happens when you add John McCain or Rudy Giuliani in place of “nobody”?

As democrats we have to think long and hard about nominating a candidate who is so divisive. We shouldn’t spend these preciously important years ahead re-fighting old fights or addressing political grudges. If we are what we say we are than we must love our country more than this, and choose a leader who can bring Americans together. Our society’s needs are too great, the time to pivotal, for anything but fundamental change backed by broad-based support from the American people. Senator Obama proved in Iowa he can do this, and nobody proved it on Tuesday.

Americans, Americans, Americans…
You really deserve what you get
You HAVE NOT learned your lesson. You vote for "The likable" Bush and end up with 7-8 years of misery going deeper and deeper, but that is not enough, go with the "other likable" guy and UNITED go even deeper.
Because counts how CAN ! He is steel very yang, let him get mote experience and then.. why not?
All you , how do not like Hilary, could you please tell me at least 3 reasons? Or you do not like yourself any more? Your well being is on the stake!
I am observing you politics for 17 years and trust me on it : SHE is you answer considering the american international, economical, political and social situation write now.

Those who posit that newspapers don't take or should not take sides have little understanding of the difference between the news reporting of a news paper and its Op Ed or Editorial. A newspaper's editorial can in fact endorse a candidate while its news coverage remains objective.

oh thats how it works .so obama and edwards pulled thier names from mi poll cause they knew they will loose so why get bad name and waste money so obama used that money to buy all these stupid endorsements.and wow still looser go hillary hillary will win

What a joke this endorsement is!
Total joke!
HILLARY '08

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN. THE PEOPLE OUT WEST HERE DONT VOTE LIKE THEY DO IN THE EAST. I THINK OBAMA WILL MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT FOR CHANGE AROUND THE WORLD.AND HERE AT HOME. GO OBAMA

Other than sleeping in the White house next to Bill Clinton, how much experience does Sen. Clinton have over Sen. Obama? If sleeping with the President counts as experience then there are and have been a lot of experienced people out there possibly even Marilyn Monroe.
She went to the Senate a few years before Sen. Obama. He is experienced in terms of getting invovled with his commmunity and not just at election time. None of the candidates have presidential experience. This is about electing someone who can unite and represent the whole country ,not just the wealthy.
FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!
YES WE CAN!
YES WE CAN!

Obama has experience. He worked for years as a community organizer, a civil rights attorney, a constitutional law professor, a highly respected state senator for 8 years and a U.S. Senator.

Learn to have some respect.

Hillary has few, if any, of Bill Clinton's political gifts, yet still carries most of the baggage, as proven by the polls that consistently show 45-50% of the electorate dismisses her out of hand and will not vote for her under any circumstances. Why anyone thinks that makes her highly electable is beyond me.

The LVRJ is correct. Barack Obama has the best shot at not only winning against the Republicans, but also winning by a big enough margin to actually be able to govern effectively and advance his agenda.

Above all else, Obama will make a great President. He's got the judgment, integrity, character and leadership skills that are desperately needed.

A winner will always attract winners that the saying folks…

shaunM January 15, 2008 11:34 pm ET

To Say Obama has no experience means you know nothing! Sorry you're blinded by the facts. Obama has more experience and YEARS being an elected official than Hillary…… Another FACT.

Do your research.

That is great! Obama for President!!!!!!!!!

Bill was a fine president and Hillary an okay first lady. (It concerns me that she stuck with Bill after what he did, obviously for political reasons, instead of tossing him on the curb like she should have, but that's neither here nor there.) But even so, wouldn't it be nice to move FORWARD? Hillary is nearly as divisive as GW, as much as I hate to admit it.

Obama 08!!

After Clintons 15% win over NOBODY , that clearly shows she is UN-ELECTABLE.

Jump on the OBAMA train folks , he is the Democrats only real shot at winning the general election.

OBAMA 08

obamas good, but she is great experience, and the bill clinton years saw us out of debt but i will voote for whoever the nominee is.

Yeah, the RJ is a rag that has absolutely no respect here in Vegas. Also, I barely come into these democratic subjects, but now that I am here, I notice that there are a lot more caps shouters, exclamation point users, and misspellers.

woooooooohooooooo

GO OBAMA!

YES WE CAN.

Obama has had so many endorsements until I lost count. Hillary's had a few thrown her way.

I live in Las Vegas….and honestly don't give a rats booty what the RJ thinks. I am caucusing for Hillary. She is smart, well spoken, experienced and cares. WAKE UP OBAMA'S….HE HAS NONE , ZERO , ZILTCH EXPERIENCE….

It does not matter how smart, intelligent somebody is , he needs to have some experience. United States is the biggest country in the world, whoever has the presidency needs to able to govern the world. So, you all need to think about it before you make a choice. Speech is one thing, reality is another one. To be the president of the United States you need to be able to act quick , fast and with accuracy in some situations. That's good to have some change if needed but otherwise we don't have to. They said, "we don't change the team who wins". That's why we don't want to change the Clinton's team because they won in the past and they will again. Whem Boss Clinton took power in 1992, there was a huge deficit in US economy, 888 bilions dollars. At the end of his term, the US economy was so powerfull that when President Bush took office he was able to send rebate checks to families. That money came from the powerful economy that president Clinton left. We are not going to chose based on color of our skin.

Does it matter ? Clinton was endorsed by DE MOINES Register in Iowa and she lost. These are the signs to come .Obama is going to lose in Nevada.Anybody but OBAMA.

In this 21th century people are still talking about race ? you can only hear that in AMERICA. Iam so sorry .

please, please,I want you to take just a minuite to really think about this country, our country AMERICA is in serious trouble and we must do everything in our power to bring this great nation back , and if you are somebody that analyse the deepest side of human being and have a grave love for this AMERICA you can just tell that OBAMA is th best choice for our country at this particular time to get not only the job done but also to bring nations around the world close to america.

Congrats! Obama I am working hard for you my President in 08

Shaun,

do you know hillary well enough that you can definatively , be sure she's a jerk?
i don't hear her talking about you! Grow up. read more about all the candidates
then make a deision. What will you do if Hillary becomes president?

I'll live with any dem candidate, but thats because I'm doing some research and
I think they 're all good.

lay off hillary, she is a person who has done nothing to you. I have met her
and she's very nice, but whatever, I'll vote democratic, never republican !

I JUST DON'T CARE WHO GETS ENDORSEMENTS.

Hillary lovers have dirtied this whole forum.

I know that we all have our political differences but come on. How can you tell me that Mr. Obama is not the best choice for president? This guys so obviously a president that you can just see it without him having to say a word. No…people want the same ole same ole in washington. They don't want change and that's why they don't get it and don't deserve it. hillary will do nothing if elected to office,not for lack of trying, but because she's a jerk and people don't like jerks. If another republican gets into office The united states will enter iran and we will probably be attacked. The middle east is a hot bed and if you continue to light a flame under that bed it will eventually explode, and they wont care how strong we are, they will explode and we will most definitely no it. Look..put your stupidity aside and vote the president…I don't even have to say his name..just vote for the president…..

Scared for our country, it is usually the editorial boards that endorse candidates, and those are not supposed to be fair and balanced.

Newspapers shall not take sides, How will the public write to it and have its views printed?

Yes, once the public has decided then newspapers shall be there to act as watchdog and expose wrong-doings of the leaders or give kudos for good work. But not to take side at this stage of the campaign.

If later on the leader disappoints, what will be there for the paper to say about the preferred leader? Swallow the spit/vomit?

God "s will Obama will win Nevada. No going back.

Nevada people all we are saying give Obama this time.

YES WE CAN !YES WE CAN!! YES WE CAN!!!

Character. I think what we have seen in the last 8 years is that character will drive decisions and bad character leads to bad decisions from bad motives and lack of integrity. I encourage the American public to really try to see through what the candidates are really saying and not just with their words and of course, who they surround themselves with.

"Who you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

May the best candidate win!

This is the problem with journalism. How can you report and be unbiased then recommending an "endorsement" of one particular candidate? I am sure not everyone at that newspaper supports that endorsement. Is it just the owners of the paper? The publisher?

MUST BE A SAD PAPER, SHAME ON YOU!!!
