Thought this was interesting, Senator Clinton only lost 1 county in NY to Senator Obama. However, Senator Obama lost 14 counties to Senator Clinton. Very interesting night for both candidates. Looks like we need to move on to the next primaries.

I have just added The NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN (NOW) to my list of extremist groups. Like all extremist who have a dictatorial and narrow definition of people, NOW has determined that they know what is best for ALL women and that women have no choice but to vote for Hillary Clinton. A vote for any other candidate is not a matter of choice but rather a vote AGAINST ALL WOMEN. GIVE ME A BREAK. What about the right of choice???? I suppose NOW can decide when I have a right of choice and when I don't ... just like Hillary changed her mind and is now trying to get (non-existent electoral) votes from Florida. Hillary and NOW deserve each other..... and I say this as an independent, educated, liberated woman who surrenders her right of choice to no one.

Becky, you/re an idiot. Obama attends a Christian church, he's not a sleeper agent, and you're too stupid to even really deserve an opinion.

Do yourself a favor. Get some teeth, get an education, and stop believing every piece of trash propaganda that some right wing lie-maker forwards to fools like you?

Idiot.

I struggle with the character issues where Hillary is concerned. Bill was a bright man who couldn't keep his zipper up, and his arrogance lay in never owning his narcisism or attempting to overcome up. Hillary's greatest vulnerability is never distancing herself from him and his decadence. And the arrogance of the "Friends of Bill and Hillary" era was so repugnant, where everything was for sale, from staying a night in the White House, to granting ill-conceived pardons in the last days of his presidency. They have no vision for America, beyond doing what's expedient. There are no convictions, no philosophical grounding, no sense of what the future should hold for our children, or how to bring the world past the pettiness of nationalism, sectarianism and fear. I long for the day when there are candidates available to the electorate that are actually palatable choices, unflawed by personal agendas and bias.

The democratic debate tonight was tasteless. Hillary Clinton is reaching. I hope she doesn't plan on basing her entire campaign on slandering Obama. She needs to focus more on herself and the issues that are important to her rather than focusing on her opponents, or well Obama. It appears that maybe she is threatened and weak, making me think her opponents ( who always seem more poised) are more qualified than her. And as a final thought, I would really like to stop hearing references to Bill Clinton. The first woman in the white house should not base a victory on her husband, it defeats the purpose in my mind.

My thing is this... The Clinton's have had their time in the White House & during that time there were numerous laws passed that have adversly affected African Americans. 3 Strikes, mandatory minimums, habitual felon laws, NAFTA, etc, etc. The effect is that our jobs haved been outsourced, our black men have been institutionalized, murdered by police, our neighborhoods gentrified and our children have been criminalized. Black America is in dire straits and the Clinton's that we love so much have had a very large part in creating this distressed enviroment. Bill and Hillary have had their time in the White House and it is time for them move aside and pass the torch to the next generation. I am sure that they are good people but they are too detached from the Black Community to provide solutions to our issues...

I am in favor of a strong, intelligent woman as President of the United States. As of the past few weeks, Hillary has been sounding both strong and intelligent, so I ask myself, is she stroong and intelligent? How does she make decisions? Does she make decisions like a strong intelligent woman would? In considering this question, the first thing to come to mind is her decision to marry Bill Clinton. Since Bill Clinton is a known womanizer and philanderer, and marriage is certainly one of the most important decisions of one's life; I must conclude that she does not make good decisiions.

I am just really surprised by the amount of women who are supporting her. Granted nobody is perfect, and I can imagine many women might even forgive a man who cheated on them once, but to forgive a habitual cheater and continue an intimate relationship with him is to disrespect oneself, this is not a sign of strength or intelligence. Moreover, what is this behavior modeling for our next generation?

Hillary looks good with her WIN in NV. The main reason Obama has no chance is that most of the delegate rich states will lean toward Hillary on 2/5/07. It really is over. It was close for awhile tho

Is anyone else confused by anon middle America comments, wasn't it Obama who after graduating from Harvard took a $12, 000 a year job in south Chicago at a community center but didn't Hillary after graduating from Yale accept a partnership at Ross Law Firm.

Anon congratulations you have qualified for MORON ALERT!!!!

To all posters if you make a comment to support your candidate by bashing another candidate but your candidate hasn't demonstrated that they are any better or even a worst offender then the evidence/remarks you are posting to bring another candidate down you will get a MORON ALERT!!!

I forgot to add Becky has also been awarded a MORON ALERT!!!!

Let's focus on the issue's the Clinton's beat Obama 20:1 when it comes to negatives. Do you remember their war on drugs?

Rodger Clinton Jr. Bill's brother. When Bill was Governor of Arkansas, Roger was arrested for cocaine possession in 1984 and served a year in federal prison.[2] Subsequently, his brother granted him a pardon amongst the list of pardons issued on January 19, 2001.

However, Roger continued to court legal trouble. On February 17, 2001, he was arrested and charged with two counts of drunken driving and one for disturbing the peace. In a deal that spared him jail time, Roger Clinton pleaded guilty to a non-alcohol-related charge of reckless driving. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why is it that Sen. Barack Obama is considered an "African American" candidate
and not considered as a multi racial candidate?

By: Marleen

Marleen — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:33:16 +0000

When I look at Obama; I don't see colour. When I hear Obama speak; I do not hear racial tones. I see an excellent speaker who stretches his long arms and hands as if to unite Americans together for a common goal. Whether or not all his policies are viable, he has the energy, the confidence to make clear decisions. No one person knows what will face the Americans in 2009, but I personally believe that a strong character such as Obama is capable of leading and listening to the hope and wishes of middle class Americans. Leadership is about having the confidence to gather the right resources and policies when making decisions. Obama's wife and children love him; it's refreshing to see their honest display of affection for each other.

Jimmy, stop confusing yourself. There are 7.5 million registered to vote in Michigan. Keep in mind Michigan is a Democrat state. So if half of 7.5 mil is 3.75 mil... 550,000 is a true POOR turnout. Most clinton supporters voted. Most obama voters and Edwards didnt turn out at all. Lets look at the combined Edwards votes in Iowa and New hapshire against Hillarys and you have no arguement at all

Hmm 320,000 compared to 3.75 million democrats registered to vote equals 10% in Michigan for Hillary in my book

At first I found it surprising when I kept hearing and reading so many pundits allude to the fact that Hillary draws most of her support from the poorly educated. Then I read the comments by Hillary fanatics here and elsewhere who seem determined to provide anecdotal evidence to bolster that claim.

John, boston, MA January 15, 2008

Hillary lovers have dirtied this whole forum.

^^^^^^^^^ Two prime examples 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.

Oh and further apologies if Barack Obama's group of smug supporters have their more delicate sensibilities offended because not everyone in America is as highly educated, more affluent and of a better socio-economic classier status than they are. Yes, it certainly is true that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is definitely getting smaller after eight years of the Republicans in office. Let us all pray that these same individuals never find themselves in less than flush or fortunate times or older!!

But cheers to OBAMA'S NEW POPULIST PARTY... maybe in 2012 THE OLD Democratic Party can finally field its OWN candidate for a change!

You know what I think gets lost in the Michigan primary is that the Democrats stripped the state of all it's delegates. In other words, the votes meant nothing. Now, just a random thought of hipocrasy, was it not the Democrats that were complaining that so many Americans were disenfranchised in the 2000 election?? They are themselves doing what they said should never be done. Hipocritical? You decide!!

Final vote for Michigan. Breaking the undecided vote 73% Obama, 17% Edwards, 10% others. straight out of the same exit polls CNN is using.

Not to forget that Obama campaign and Edwards campaign put out word two weeks before the election to vote undecided against Senator Clinton, through radio ads, mail flyers, and phone calls. This is after they signed an agreement not to campaign there, Attacking a candidate would be campaigning. Any way the results

Clinton 56.9%
Obama 29.3%
Edwards 6.8%
Kunich 3.6%
Other 3.2%

There where well over 550,000 votes. A very large increase over the last Presedential Primary Senator Clinton had over 328,000 of these votes.

On the Republican side there was just over 600,000 votes. THIS WAS HARDLY A DEAD ELECTION IN MICHIGANB> SENATOR CLINTON WON WITH A LANDSLIDE WITH AS MANY DEMOCRATS VOTING AS REPUBLICANS

SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 2008

only 25 percent of Democrat registered voters voted in Michigan. Most that didnt vote were Obama, Edwards supporters who saw no reason to vote since their choice wasnt listed.

Some, voted, the majority didnt. that means 75 percent didnt vote...sad

I am neither a Clinton nor Obama supporter. But my question is to all those Clinton haters and bashers. Can you tell me why you have such a passion against her? I have asked this question of several of my colleagues in my office and no one could tell me why. Could it be that you are just buying into the liberal medias biases. If that is so, grow up.

My second question, all you Obama lovers, can you tell me other than his ability to speak eloquently from a script what his positions are, what he has done to deserve the accalades? Have you looked at his history in the Illinois senate? His record is dismal. Oh sorry, "present"!

Relative to Edwards, I used to like him and could see myself supporting him, but he has become such angry and overy aggressive candidate. Almost seems desparate. His swipes at Clinton are uncharacteristically harsh. This puts him in a "hater" column. John, wake up.

Bottom line. I will vote for the Democratic candidate. But come on everyone, it's okay to think critically, but bring some objectivity to the table.

Let's do the math here...70% of 39 "uncommitted" voters were blacks=27.3%. And 58% of voters went for HILLARY, with 14.7% for others.
Let's now think in term of general election. The AA population counts for 12% of population in the USA, how many of them are registered to vote or take part in major election?Not so many!
If all white in democrat party were to vote they will influence the outcome of election if the race card is played.
Last, but not least why " we balck people" bring the race card in any situation?Also saying that the CLINTONS are racists is unfair and show how we black can be dishonnests and have a short memories about Hillary and Bill.

I get so tired of CNN's dour predictions, mostly saying how much trouble Clinton's campaign is in. I am for Hillary Clinton, and every right-thinking woman should be, and even the men (black, white, red, yellow, green, etc.) should be, too. Wonder if this country will ever be big enough, smart enough to realize it is long past time for a woman to be president. As an aside, it's interesting that black men got the right to vote long before any woman did. Let's not extrapolate that to the national political scene, please.

Hillary Clinton uses the black community for her benefit. Typically, its presidents of corporations and higher ups in education. Just look how she used Bob Johnson of BET...
The black community is well aware of the tactics of the Clinton camp. She changes her accent when speaking in the south, flip-flops on issues, and has now degraded Dr. King as not substantial in civil rights. No wonder the black and white community can't trust her.

The people of Michigan paid, in tax dollars, what did read, 10 million to move their primaries up? Thus disinfranchising the democrats and non-committed in their state.
