CNN

Obama has a lot of the youth support–Democrats remember McGovern?!! Democrats, you are setting the party up for another great defeat in a year when I believe people really want change but it is not Obama or Clinton-Go Edwards!

Why in the United States are we going to allow a candidate (specifically Barack Obama) to allow his campaign to support segregation. His support and allowance of the Nevada radio againgst Hillary are nothing but poison in our "melting pot." That's unbelievably unAmerican and defeats the Unity of the Democratic party. Hmmm its EXACTLY the sort of thing Dr Martin Luther King would be fighting against.

And Obama is trying to tout himself as an individual who strongest ability is to bring people together. Well that's a complete contradiction to his own words and action.

How Disappointing.

Vote for Hillary, she been fighting for UNITY for 35 years and fighting on behalf of ALL AMERICANS.

Is it me...or does it just seem that Obama supporters just do not know how to spell.....Obama loves Reagan....Reagan hated unions....enough said....Obama is going to lose tomorrow in Nevada.....and the unions will not help him....there are a LOT more women in Nevada than union members who will be voting tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. PST for Hillary.....Mr. Obama will not get the vote of most of the democrats in Nevada...no way...no how!!!!

I'm an registered Democrat (black) in Charleston, SC and I will remember this in the upcoming Dem. Primary next Saturday. This is the "dirty politics" that Sen. Obama has denounced from day one. I was strongly considering a vote for him, but his lack of fortitude to do the right thing (right is right, wrong is wrong). You just lost my vote, Mr. Obama. I've heard a lot of people in my office today, saying the same thing.

The Teacher Union had a wright to take it to court. This suit was not brought by the Hillary campaine, God Bless the Teachers Union.

Tom Davie-

You said it right. CNN is giving Obama a free ride. My question is: why?? The Nevada debate has been by far the best debate and I think because he was finally asked some tough questions, which he then stuttered to answer or didn't answer at all and/or couldn't answer, but redirected the question. He doesn't do well in these debates and I think it's because he doesn't have anyone but himself to rely on. He fumbles all tough or in depth questions posted to him. Watch the next debate and see this for yourselves.

Hillary on the other hand, doesn't stutter or fumble for answers. If Hillary had come out with this add the Obama supporters would be bashing her, but because it was Obama that came out with it, it's alright.

Also, what is this rumor I hear that the culinary union is intimating voters to vote for Obama? I hope the press investigates these rumors..they might be untrue, but they should be investigated just the same in case they are true. As they say where this smoke...there's fire.

Texan for Hillary-

I agree.

To all others: Why the double standard?

Teacher's union filed a law suit it was Clinton's fault because the Teacher's union endorsed Clinton.
The Union that supports Obama put's out this negetive ad, but it's not Obama's fault.
Again, I ask why the double standard???

Come on!!! The Chief Executive of the Country must be an organized person. If that person is going to allways depend upon aids, the aids will be ruling. Memory, organization, vision, and ability to lead, compromise, etc. are very important. Any manager would tell you that if you are disorganized that will travel down to all personnel and areas under you. It's bad for any office, shame on the person who says that's not important.

If I get a chance, I'll ask Hillary if she's ever done illegal drugs.

Ole great ad, the latinos realize that Hillary is full of caca.

Hillary Clinton needs to do more than have her picture taken with folks in a Hispanic neighborhood to get the Latino vote. She can start by explaining why she's taken so much money from lobbyists that are directly responsible for the health care and mortgage crises that is affecting these very Hispanic neighborhoods. The evasiveness and posturing of the Clinton Machine is at times a little too much to bear.

I will always support Obama no matter what the media want me to think of him.
My friends can not wait to vote!

Go Obama. I have heard enough with Clintons and their sarrogates!

Anything that is coming out of Obama is negative. Watch out the media people. Don't be sidetracked.

It's gonna' backfire on him!

Whether you support Edwards or support having this be a three way race decided by the voters, not the media, donate today to John Edwards at his website...there is a grassroots effort today to raise $7 million in one day for John to garner some much deserved media attention and force them to cover this as the three way race it is!

As Dick Morris says "who does it help." If you figure out who the tactics help then you figure out who is behind it. The lawsuit helped Hillary...she should have denounced the lawsuit if she wanted to seem fair.

Look at all issues that way and you will see the true nature of your candidate...dont be fooled. Personally, I think if we nominate Hillary, we lose the independent vote in Nov. This is a lose lose all the way around.

HUGH, TX:

Your comment is so racist! I’m Hispanic and I take offense to your comments and tone. You honestly think we believe that every single Hispanic in Vegas is illegal? I think you would like to think that and have people believe that. It's people like you that help keep discrimination alive and well in the “US”. Admit it–you don't like people of a different color or people who are different. We are all human beings and that includes illegal immigrants. I'm proud of my upbringing. I was not raised to hate any race, nor to believe that God made this country for just one particular race and gender.

I can see how you would support Huckabee. You’re from Texas so I'm sure you are familiar with the Texas Minutemen, and know that the founder has endorsed Huckabee. The Minutemen are nothing but a vigilante group! Even President Bush, called them vigilantes. The members are White men and women. They sit by the boarders on their lawn chairs armed with their weapons. Just waiting to “hunt them down” and shoot "them" immigrants. How dare them. People are people and should never be hunt down like some sort of wild animal.

You go ahead and support Huckabee. You fit right there with the Minutemen of Texas. There’s no doubt in my mind that there’s racism beneath all the attempts to try to stop immigrants from Mexico. How many illegal immigrants from Mexico were 9/11 terrorists? How many others have been traced back to other terrorist crimes? It’s just a national excuse, and I'm so sick of it!! Improve national security but don't limit it to just "Mexicans", and don't treat or talk about them as if there were not a human being!

Just a black eye for the Clinton's, these people of NV want you to know how they feel Hitlery, you tried to control them, you get "frustrated" when they still run the ads...good, I hope it teaches you a lesson you won't forget anytime soon. It shows that you aren't as popular as you think and will try to come into another state where working people have the right to vote and you want to silence them.

Good for Obama!

LADE ,,SHAME ON YOU ,YOUR AFRAID OF WHAT A WOMEN CAN DO,AND YOUR TOTALLY PATHETIC,YOU DONT EVEN HAVE A CLUE ON WHATS AT STAKE FOR OUR FUTURE AND PROBABLY NEVER BEEN LAID, ITS THE MACHO MEN LIKE YOU THAT DONT HAVE ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE TO CONTRIBUTE,THERES ALWAYS BATHROOM STALLS WAITING FOR GUYS LIKE YOU . THE 90S WERE THE BEST YEARS, WHERE WERE YOU THEN?tapping / CLINTONS HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO EVERYONE ,THEY WALKED THE WALK NOT JUST TALKED THE TALK AND THEY WILL PREVAIL WITH OR WITHOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU,IM TOTALLY READY FOR HILLARY,ITS VOTERS LIKE YOU THAT GOT US IN THIS MESS TO BEGIN WITH AND ITS GOING TO TAKE ALL THE EXPERIENCE WE CAN GET TO GET US OUT,LET IT GO LADE YOU MIGHT LUCKY. GO HILLARY GO ///

More on Edwards from Feingold at Acropolis Review:

http://acropolisreview.com/2008/01/john-edwards-for-president_18.html

It is unfortunate that this ad was placed. They should have just pointed to Obama's strengths rather than the weaknesses of other candidates. I hope they stop those ads.

I am from Louisiana. We like a little "hot sauce" with our politics. Let the mudslinging began. I love it.

TO JUAN:

As a Hispanic, DO NOT speak on my behalf. You don't know me. You know nothing about me so don't put me in your little category as a Hispanic that agrees with your nonintelligent assessment about Hillary. My parents were US citizens and I was born and raised in the US, AND HILLAY HAS MY VOTE! I sure am proud I do not jump on bandwagons. Hillary has a lot of Hispanic support. Did you know that Robert, the brother of the late Ceaser Chavez endorsed Hillary this week? He will join Clinton's National Hispanic Leadership Council. Richard is the Labor Rights' Leader and Activist. Congresswoman Hilda L. Solis of California has also endorsed Hillary as well. Patti Solis Doye is her campaign manager. She is the first Hispanic woman to manage a presidential campaign. You should think with your head instead of your mouth, you would find that Hillary has a lot of Hispanic's working for her and supporting her. So, no, Juan not all Hispanic's think the way you do nor are supporting Obama. Some of us actually have sense and make intillegent decisions when we vote!

Obama's supporters cannot and could never accept the bare fact and truth that Hillary had nothing to do with lawsuit. In desperation over Obama's loss in the last primary and unimpressive national poll ranking, his Nevada supporters now resort to distortions and lies to paint Hillary as the brains behind the lawsuit which she was not. Indeed, "something is happening". And that something is this: Obama's message of HOPE and CHANGE has lost wind and sway. His Nevada supporters who released the ad have lost HOPE and have ceased to believe in CHANGE, as evidenced by their desperate and untruthful ads conveying the impression to readers that Hillary's march to nomination victory is dashing such HOPE and CHANGE in the OBama camp to smithereens. Strange that Obama has not till this minute disowned the lies and prevarications in his Nevada supporters' ads. Is there HOPE that Obama will CHANGE the ill-advised and uncalled for behavior of his Nevada supporters who are behind the unAmerican ads? The only rationale for his having to rein in his undisciplined Nevada supporters is this: the anti-Hillary hatred ad will boomerang on Obama not only in Nevada but also in the other States closely watching the political heat there. It is a shame that the anti-Hillary hatred is becoming the proverbial WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. There has been so much howling being heard in the Obama camp, from many wolves in the clothing of HOPE and CHANGE. YES, THEY CAN howl all they want. The voters have been forwarned. Obama will be sorry for howling ads. He will politically live to regret it.

I realize that Obama had nothing to do with airing this ad and I do support him. I do however, wish he would ask them to stop the ad.
This is not how Obama runs his campaign and I am sure the union will pull it the second he asks them to. It is the right thing to do Barack. You are better than the Clintons so please show it right away.

Obama must be desperate for him to go negative so late in the Nevada game. His unite the country message isn't working as he travels across the country. He will not unite the women, the white, or the Hispanics. He can't even unite the Black Caucus.

Come Feb 5th, the horse race will take on a different look. Obama will be standing still as Hillary goes passed him. Obama will be so far behind, the media will then begin to realize this race was a marathon not a sprint.

You heard it here first, bye, bye, Obama see you in 8 years.

Sincerely, JOhn L Cerrato

Kim, I'm pretty sure that the crux of the article and the Clinton complaints is that Obama is not doing anything to request the ads be pulled. No one said Obama's campaign is running the ads.

Farid, you are sounding a bit racist. A vote for an African American because of his color is racist. Use your mind and do some thinking about the issues. Then vote your conscience. If you still come up with Obama, then at least you are using your mind and not just your eyes.

I hope everyone takes a step back and looks at the big picture. Look at all the candidates carefully and assess their strengths and weaknesses. Ask yourself who can really deliver on their promises of hope and get things done in Washington? Obama has not shown any sign that he is able to get things done. He doesn't even do his current job of US Senator. He doesn't cast votes when needed. In the provate sector, he would have been fired.

Hillary 08

To Me Check your facts Sen Obama is not a Closet Muslim any real Muslim would ever put politics Before God or denounce being Muslim to "fit in" it is considered a sin. if you are going to hate on the man let it be for a legitimate reason. And he just said in an interview on Fox5 news las vegas ( and there are Muslims here)that he is a christian and there is a story about his pastor on the fox network right now and also his book the audacity of hope is based on a sermon from his pastor/mentor. if you are assuming he is Muslim due to his name his name is a african version of the hebrew name baruch. Maybe if his name were joe smith you'd be more comfy. you just want him to come to your church so you can see him huh?

So let me get this straight: Hillary can attack, send out her attack dogs - Bill Clinton, Bob Johnson, Shehan, the 5 people she had to fire because of the mudslinging against Obama, and it doesn't stop there, but Obama is supposed to take her attacks with a smile, which he has? HA! That's the problem. Hillary and her cronies think this is still the shuffling bowing and moving to the side days and they just can't get it through their heads that it isn't as much as they would still love it to be at least with Obama. She has thrown more drit at Obama than anyone can shovel and she's still throwing it, and getting away with it, just by turning to the cameras and having her widdle eyes well up with tears. Oh poor victim lady Hillary, pooh pooh pooh...

No necesita hablo english par la VOTA. GO DEMOCRATOES!!

How is this ad something that Obama did? Doesn't the article say that an independent union took out the ad? Yep, I think it did! CNN gets more and more like the National Enquirer every day.

Mr.Obama smooth talking and the lack of real experience will not get you into the White House. You are drawing us back to the 60's.by your community organizing ways. Using young African-American and Latino adults to get you in the White House. The young lack experiences needed to make wise choices. You are mesmerizing the young with your speeches of change and hope's at the same time your campaign uses underhanded means of dividing the democratic party.

The thing to look at in each of the controversies lately-WHO GAVE THE FIRST BLOW? In each, it was Clinton or someone connected to her. All Obama and his supporters have done is to ANSWER BACK TO THE FIRST PUNCH and then they get put down by some for it. Try to think if you can remember any time he has initiated a fight? Can you remember his lying about her? And don't get me started about the Muslim thing. Anyone who still believes that hasn't researched or done their homework at all.

Shame on Obama how? Nothing wrong with presenting facts regardless of good or bad. People need to know the positive and negative aspects of each candidate and what their true agenda is.

When those issues are misconstrued its fair that the challenged candidate get a chance to defend themselves.

I will tell you right now, the only Democrats that really want to vote for Hillary Clinton are the following...

1) Democratic "Good Ol' Boy & Girls" club individuals that want to continue with the same type of politics that plagues America for PERSONAL monetary or political reasons.

2) Women that would vote for a women just because she is a women and want to see a first female present.

3) Ignorant Blacks that seem to think "Clinton was the first black president," and have no clue what Clinton actually did in office but just like him as a person.

Bottom Line...

Hillary is just popular and has no solid political (or even professional) background.

Edwards needs to quit the race as he is not even a factor in this race besides spliting votes between Obama and Hillary.

The Republican candidates are all Reagan wannabees that only want to shift the money going to Iraqi war contractors, to companies they want kick backs from. The Clintons are no exceptions.

The only true politician currently in this race that has a history of fighting for a noble cause is Barack Obama. Sorry to break the truth to you.

for anyone bashing obama for this , you are wrong. this is a third party group , in which candidates have no say in what is said or displayed. i have worked on many campaigns, and this is true, the same rules apply to all candidates.

and by the way, not allowing working people their right to vote, is not only illegal , (and i will never be suade by voter intimidation), but it is also a lot lower than having a third party group attack another candidates policies.

if clinton and edwards were really for a democracy they would do everything in their power to let everyone vote

You Obama cultists would be foaming at the mouth if Hillary had run this ad against him. Your hatred for Senator Clinton is childish and uninformed. You're destroying the Democratic party. I don't care if you support Obama, but don't take her down just because you are incapable of seeing a positive future without your savior at the helm.

look , alot of people are noticing that cnn tries not to cover Barack Obama as much as the other candidates especially the coverage the GOP gets; Oh it's ridiculous what the tv stations and commentary analysts are doing to phase Barack Obama from the view of the people. But, that's the exact reason why people want to vote for him; because, whom ever we see is most viewed and pushed by the media and analysts we know we are being misled from who we should vote for. Hillary Clinton and John McClain are being shoved down our mind and everyone has been noticing this but works just the opposite, because we the people can see how phony the candidates being shown all the time are. I tell you African Americans have no other intentions with respect of this nation but to help it. Most European Americans have hidden agendas, that most of the time don't help the American People would you like to check all the Presidents before this. Barack Obama would have to show America that he will do all he can to help all that he can because he is the bottom coming up not the top coming down. All people need to awaken and vote for the one who has no hidden agenda because he's not able too !!

It's interesting to see the different tone, writing ability, and level of critical thinking behind the HRC and Obama supporters. I think I'm generally neutral here (I'd be happy with either one–or Edwards–instead of any of the Republican candidates). But I find the HRC supporters' posts here to be, comparatively speaking, the equivalent of Republicans' crazy wingnut infantile postings when attacking the more well thought out, intelectually honest and intelligent postings of Democrats on any popular forum like USAToday. Of course these are generalizations, but it's still the impression I get. Fascinating.

I really feel this will backfire on Obama, I agree with hayes.

I am African American and I used to Love Bill Clinton. This whole thing has changed that in a big way. Remember, he can lie very well for what he wants. Remember, "I did not have sex with that woman." I do not care if he did. Do you Bill. What I do care about though is that he can and still does LIE!!!!!!!!

I say since Barak is really campaigning agaist him, Obama should attack him too.

Bill and Hill...that sold stuff.

Dear Obama,

Take a look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? Forgot your own message of hope? Wow.

I'm unimpressed. It's nice that you are showing more of yourself in the past days and weeks.

Prediction: You will self destruct by Super Tuesday.

The only ones left standing by convention time will be Edwards and Clinton.

Obama Fans = CULT!

He will tell you anything and you will fall for it. Sad sad little kids!!

When we loose the Election to a Republican, This will be YOUR fault!

All media outlets are giving Obama a free ride because he is black. Seems to me blacks would support any black candidate, at least that is the way the media is portraying them. What happens, if Obama is president, when he is questioned about any decision/or anything else will blacks have a conniption saying he is being picked on because he is black? Sorry, but the media is starting to scare me with this black situation. The media is so scared of being political incorrect they don't dare mention Obama's voting record since he has been in the US Senate. I've looked it up on the government web site, not all votes nor all positions are shown. From the looks of things Obama comes across as lazy and rarely stands up to serious questioning by other senate leaders. Rarely voices an opinion of any kind. He is a good stump/preacher speaker though. It's time the media starts doing a little more background checking on all the candidates, not just a handful. CNN gets their little group of male journalist together for a candidate analyst and automatically start bragging up Obama and then the Clinton bashing begins in earnest. SICK OF IT. That goes for the McCain free ride too. The Romney and Huckabee bashing is almost as bad. I do not plan to vote for a Democrat but do feel sorry for Hillary and Edwards because of the media bias.

Aj; Montpelier, VT,

Care to back up your comments with facts or are you just guessing since you support someone else? Which of his political campaign adds were sleazy and exactly where do you see corruption? You probably won't respond so I'll just assume ya got nothing, which is the same as the rest of the Hillary supporters on here that make false statements without any support.

Yes Obama is lying to people who don't really understand what is going on. Why can't hospital workers vote at work, firefighters vote at work, factory workers have their own little place to vote at work? It makes no sense, and so now they have a message out to mislead these people. That is taking advantage of people who do not understand.

In the end it will not matter.

Go Hillary.

Got to get the illegal immigrant vote, huh, Obama.

As a Republican I thank you. Only the Democrats could find a way to screw up an election.

Tom Davie, thanks for that post.

Your observations are spot on. I love CNN and have always considered them on the upside of fair but anyone who doesn't see the slant for Obama here is just reading with their eyes closed.

C'mon CNN...report the news. Leave it to the pundits to do the spin.

btw...I made a pro-Hillary post early last night here on the Ticker and it's still waiting to be moderated? What's that about? Should I not have pointed out how Obama being against the war when Senators Clinton and Edwards voted for it is a bogus comparison because he couldn't vote? Oh, yeah....that is the cornerstone of his spin machine.....

Step up, CNN. You're better than this.

Hillary Clinton '08!!

The Clintons think that its unfair for some people to vote when they are legally allowed. That says a lot where they stnd on voters rights.

Obama plays the race card again.

This time using the Hispanic vote.

Obama – go away!

Most of the hatred-spewing idiots on this blog are karl-Rovian-REPUBLICANS parading as either Obama supporters or Clinton supporters. CNN may think they got some hot button issue to report about, when it is only hot air stirred up by lying Rovian brain-dead heartless robots.

don't waste your time here, good thinking people!!!! CNN and corporate media do NOT have your best interest in their mind.

google Democracy Now, and get some real information and perspective!!!!!

As I have said KEEP THE CLINTONS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE

Bob, she is NOT a can do person, she is a "the he** with you person, YOU are nothing to her. She cares about no one but herself. KEEP THE CLINTONS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!

Just goes to show you, the care ONLY about the votes they can get.
KEEP THE CLINTONS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE !!!

Lee, NYC I know one person Obama isn't as dumb as you!!! Take your 3rd grade education and go watch Barney you are living in the past. We see through your comments.

Have Shanna sit down next to you

I will be so happy when this is over. I am so tired of that old lady (hillary) attacking people i dont know what to do. It is th eAmerican people who do not want her to be in the white house at all.

it is a sh ame before god what they are trying to do in the south with those older blacks, they do not have to vote for the clintons.

Independent 08

tom davie, Obama is not the one who wanted the recount, even fox said so. check your facts Of course clinton supporters are going to say they (cnn) favor Obama. But she puts herself out there to be ridiculed. Don't hate because people don't hate Obama. If you don'y like the way cnn reports, don't watch. If so many people didn't watch , maybe they wouldn't do that. Ever think maybe clinton wanted people to think just that(to get more press). Trying to inject race didn't work, so complain about how the media reports all the stupid things she says. Doesn't she know the camera is rolling? He is careful not to mention his race, but she can definately play the woman card. I didn't see any of you complaining in mid 2007 when all media seemed to be against Obama. how soon we forget. He has paid his "black tax" , He knew going into this he had to be twice as great as everyone else, don't get upset because he rose to the challenge!!! Still a very educated and dignified man running for president, who happens to be black. Now everyone wants to be anti- Obama? He's is exactly what this country needs, and it scares Americia to death.!!!!!
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

This remind me of my childhood!!

my little bro used to spit on me...so i spit back on him and there u go;he will cry,screem and run to Mummy saying i had beaten him and etc.

This just the same with BILLARY CLINTON.

,,First they ignored Obama- they didn´t truly think this guy could gather so much
momentum

then they ridicule you- they tried in vain to sell Obama as inexperience,racist,
muslim.I remember Bill Clinton shouting in front of a
crowd that ,, Obama is a fairy tale, He is a fairy tale,,

then they fight you- every single word spoken by Obama is criticized to the
extend of even copying his message, designing their web
site just as Obama..if only they could get so much hits like
Obama!!!

then YOU WIN - and that´s what we are seeing people. Remember Obama is
underdog,outsider here.Months ago,no one knew about this
guy.He was far behind in the Polls...but TODAY HE IS KNOWN
AND MAKING THE HEAD LINES AND EVEN WINNING
CAUCUSES!!!

Only FOOLS don´t change Hillary!! U still have enough time to change your approach.u might have a good product but u are not selling it well.

Let´s agree on this one FACT....OBAMA HAS IT GOING ON ISN´T HE?

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

where is the justice for ALL the people in nevada in their working sites????

Renee,
To have a Caucus in the work place is like Jim Crow all over again. There will be no debating those people will vote for whom ever the boss say's should win. Now, that's the problem i see with this in the work place caucusing. Will the people in the bar rooms be able to do the same, what about the nurses and doctors. Wow, there would be a lot of people laid off, if they didn't do what the boss said. I think it's a conflict of interest, and sholdn't happen, and it will divide the Democrats. If this thing keeps going like it is, get ready for four more years of Repub's.

While doing the same thing and wanting to see something different. Hilarry has nothing new to offer. she should step aside and surport Obama,so that she have be appointed to manage something with time. restricting people to vote is something too hard to handle. Go OBAMA.

I say to all the blacks running around talking about how good Obama would be for the country, remember Clarence Thomas. He try's to roll back every good thing that Thurgood Marshall did on the Supreme Court. What a guy... Now Obama is talking about how good Reagan was for the country, and Clinton didn't do as much as Reagan. As a Black man i find his comments repulsive, and will vote for Hillary. What Clinton did was put many Black's in his cabinet, not just one's he groomed to do his bidding like Bush did. With Clinton if you were qualified and you put in for the job, skin color didn't matter, the only Black's on Bush team is the one's he made.

the only way to beat the Clinton machine is to hit them hard. You can't play nice and expect to win against the Clinton machine.

Only in Iowa is possible to play nice and win where the people are well informed.

Obama and his sleazy lying political ads again.
And he's supposed to be the candidate of hope?

The man is as corrupt as they come.

obama is out for obama! and his radical church and friends! I wouldnt choose him to watch my children,much less 300 million people,He is a fake!

Even if Obama had been in the Senate, he would not have shown up to vote against the war, or read anything either. This man is lazy and as dumb as a shoe.
Plans on following to GW Bush's footsteps, doesn't know anything and plans to have people around him that do, that's okay, if you are there to okay what they are doing, but he won't be like Bush. Therefore we'll have 4 years of bullcrap going on. Obama will be a puppet, is Leahy and Kerry looking for higher position, mmmm, I think so, but Obama will probably pick Karl Rove for his old job.

Folks, please do not write Hillary off to soon. Look what happen during the New Hampshire event. Several voters will change their mind at the last second. Please do not count Hillary out. She has the "CAN DO" to go all the way.

Everyone need to calm down and stop this!!! Obama had not done anything unfair. Clinton and Edwards had to know how to work thier own campaign they knew the rules. I don't see where Obama is dividing anyone. These worker have the hardest time in getting off from work and you all know that!! and all Obama is doing is making it easy for them to be able to vote and that is a good thing. and if others wanted to vote do what you need to do.. Obama is uniting all those worker who in all honesty can't take off. The problem here is that it was not the Clintons who the endorsment went to and they are not happy about that. When the Clintons cause the lawsuit to come into play those hard working people felt she was trying to stop thier votes and so they express that feeling. Obama is a good candidate to be a President.

HEADLINE:
CLINTON MACHINE SUPPORTS COURT ACTION TO STOP LATINO VOTERS FROM CAUCUSING!!

HEADLINE:
CLINTON MACHINE LOSES IN COURT- BIG TIME!!

HEADLINE:
LATINO VOTERS IN NV HAVE WON A TREMENDOUS VICTORY AGAINST THE CLINTON MACHINE!!

Yes We Can!!

Si Se Puede!!

Yes We Can!!

Si Se Puede!!

Yeah Latinos unite and vote for Hillary, so she can send you to Iraq, she already voiced during her pushing the war how hard it is to tell the difference between Hispanics and Middle Easterners, ha! ha!, yeah, be kiss butt and vote for her, then send us a postcard from the Middle East, to funny!LOL

EVERYBODY IS BEING MANIPULATED BY THE PRESS. THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE BEING GIVEN ANY COVERAGE ARE HILLARY AND OBAMA. THE REPUBLICANS WOULD LOVE TO RUN AGAINST EITHER OF THESE CANDIDATES AS IT WOULD MOST CERTAINLY GIVE THEM THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN. HILLARY SAYS SHE'S GOT 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO DRAW UPON IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THE FIRST QUESTION ANY REPUBLICAN WOULD ASK IS WHAT EXPERIENCE EXACTLY IS IT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. AS FOR OBAMA, THE FIRST QUESTIONS A REPUBLICAN NOMINEE WOULD ASK IS WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DID DRUGS, HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN ANYONE DRUGS AND HAVE YOU EVER SOLD ANYONE DRUGS. IF HE WAS CAUCASION THE PRESS WOULD BE ASKING A LOT MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT IS A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC WHO ALSO HAS A HISTORY OF DOING BLOW AND LOOK AT WHERE THAT'S GOTTEN US. I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT EDWARDS, AS HE HAS LIVED HIS LIFE TO THIS POINT JUST LIKE HE SAYS HE'LL RUN THE WHITE HOUSE.

The Klinton's invented dirt....they can't stand it when people don't acknowledge her as queen...

Obama's balloon will be broken soon.

MSN and News Week have both looked into Clinton and Obama's experience. It's not even close , Obama has more time in elected office , and a track record of pulling people together..........he has the ability to unite people.

Clinton has a history of pulverization , and the experience she tries to claim , is the same as the White House pastry chef. She is considered a Washington insider , and that means "NOTHING CHANGES" , because SHE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.

OBAMA 08

She better start crying so she can get that "hidden" vote!!

YES WE CAN.....

can somebody explain to me why African-Americans and Latinos would ever support the Clintons anyway? most Blacks and Latinos live in disadvantaged urban areas, which the Clintons helped smash into abject poverty and oblivion in the nineties, by conintuing with the basically the same policies as Reagan and Bush the First in the eighties and nineties. thanks to the Clintons, poor urban areas (ie the main places where Blacks and Latinos live) had BILLIONS of dollars taken away or withheld from them, and the Clintons did nothing to restore the myriad social programs that the Republicans pulverized during their 12-year reign. a vote for Hillary is a vote for our cities to turn even more into third-world garbage dumps that are less inhabitable than many areas in Africa or Latin America. Obama (and his wife) have at least been there and might think about turning around the sad state American's urban areas have slipped into, thanks to the lack of action by the Clintons and their cronies. if we want any hope to turn places like Los Angeles (about 70% of which is simply a no-go zone for white people) from Gaza-style war zones into pleasant places where anyone could live, Hillary Clinton is not the person for the job.

Hillary Clinton has traditionally had a lot of support from the Latino community. I think it is going to be a very sick thing if Obama wins Navada and South Carolina by first playing on the comments of her speech earlier in the week and distorting those and now there is this screwy campaign add. This campaign is becoming all about race. I don't want to vote for a candidate based on race.

of course they were in agreement 10 months ago..everything was fair and square..I live in northern Ohio,,and I can tell you...we would have no problem if they wanted to hold a caucus in a United Auto Workers Union building, but if that union gave their support to one of the candidates before the caucus, there would be cars overturned before they would allow such a clear discrimination. The Culinary Union knew 10 months ago the situation when their election was going to take place, that's plenty of time to apply for an absentee ballot, which is what I did, or find a way to get to the poles and cast their vote the same as the rest of Nevada has to. This once again is big money at it's best...theirs no way they were going to rule in favor of that lawsuit and get those big mob bosses mad at them....can you blame them...I think there's a lot more to all of this ..First the thing in Michigan, now this...I have a feeling there's going to be some kind of stir in every state that normally would not support Obama...The press was so sure that they disgraced Hilliary enough with that one tear and all 6 polls that they didn't even have anything writen to respond to Hillarys win. My local new reporter was literally speachless and you could hear the shock in their voices..If the press wants him in so bad, then I want anyone but him,,,but if he is nominated, I will vote democratic anyway.

Shame on Hillary. The Clintons are not above the law though. The court system saw through this BS. Voters are going to show Hillary the door.

Obama 08

Obama gave a sarcastic speech today in Nevada decrying and imitating his opponents, making fun of their answers at the debates, he has not denounced ads against his opponents that he would call dirty politics if anyone else did them. My relatives in Nevada have told me that the real rule breaker in the Casino workers lawsuit was the head of the Culinary union who agreed with Nevada's other unions to stay nuetral to be fair to all the candidates so the dems would agree to the worksite voting arrangements and then popped up before the election with an endorsement of one candidate after all the other unions agreed to stay nuetral. Sneaky and underhanded and probably planned in advance. Not a man of honor, his word, or of any of the qualities that make a good president but very much like Bush and Rove together in one nasty sarcastic package. Nobama

I couldn't have said it better than that radio add.

HRC IS a SHAME and an EMBARASSMENT. Nice add...hope they keep up the heat. She deserves it.

Obama is a fraud!

To the semi-literate idiots on this board who support Obama:

get a clue

HRC '08

these kinds of caucus's should be outlawed anyway.
Obama has obviously descended to the reptilian depths of Rove-style campaigning.
Dirty, Dirty, Dirty.
Omama is showing his colors and is defending this type of caucus because it will benefit him and him only.
Just another politician.

Oh yeah, CNN, please don't delete this just because I'm pro Hillary.

I am glad Hillary used one union to go after another union in order to suppress the vote – especially for working class workers. Where would we be without Hillary to inform us that Obama is a radical Muslim extremeist who was educated at anextremeist school, and had radical ambitions of being president as a kindergarten student. We don't need a southside crackhead as our president, we need real leadership to have unions fight unions, to suppress voting, and to always remind us that only she has NO weaknesses as a leader... Just like President Bush.

Go Hillary!

Ok, I think rational people are able to see why Senator Obama supports Mr. Farrakhan. They speak the same language. Obama is Muslim, and refuses to admit it. If Senator wanted to unite the country, why has he not gone to a white church or a mixed church?

If he is a Christian man at heart, why does he not confess his faith in the Lord, the true Messiah.

If he does, he'll offend hi Muslim brothers, including Mr. Farrakhan.

Don't be deceived, there is something secretive lurking in the shadows of darkness. Somebody turn on the lights, please, it's pretty dark in here. LOL

OBAMA IS JUST ANOTHER POLITCIAN..GET THE POLLS THAT FAVOR HIM THAT IS ONLY A HOP AWAY! I CANNOT STAND HIM> FAKE FAKE FAKE!

Obama attacked these types of ads in Iowa when Edwards supporters ran them but he stands quiet when a 527 does the same for him in Nevada. Just goes to show he is the same type of political candidate as everyone else and thinks something is bad when it opposes him but good when it supports him. The other problem with the ad is it targets Hispanics with a nasty ad about Clinton which fans the flames of race politics that Obama said he would not do.

Ho soon we forget! The bottom line our Country's economy was the best its every been, when Bill Clinton was our President, and you all seem to forget! Its nice to be a manipulated mind by the media and join in as followers of those who want the rapid fall of our Country. Can you realistically think that a man that has done nothing for his own state of Illinois, that has only two years in the Senaate with no call of victory of change and hope on his side of accomplishments. I was in Illinois a few years ago, my aunt and uncle thought Obama was the new God, we went to a ralley and his speach was wonderful, full of change and hope, well the people of Illinois are still waiting for the change and hope. Obama left them and all its citizens with empty words. Is Obama what we are going to trust our precious Country in these cruciall times we are in? Do your homework. I don't care what you think of the Clintons, there is no denying, Hillary has passion, conviction, perserverance, experience and so does Bill. The bottom line my friends Life was better with the Clintons nd it will be even better with Hillary.
She has passion, stregnth, because lets face it..no one has been so unjustly scrrutinized, morally battered and yet so many accomplishment continue to happen. No in all conscience, I love my country to much to vote this time around for an inexperience man. For a man that I personally heard his speaches in Illinos full of empty promises. We can not put our country in the hands of empty pomises, specially with the challenges that we face. Its clearly Mr. Obama is a nice guy, a very nice guy, howeve weak in experience that is needed to run this country. After all people its our County,its our livelyhood, its the future of our Nation. We need experience to bring our economy as it was with a surplus, we need the Global respect we once had.

Clinton Supporters wake-up. We all know that Hillary sanctioned the lawsuit against the Culinary workers. She use to be a LAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why should he go defend her, she said she was tough enough. He didn't put out the ad!!! What a whiner, i swear hillary is taking women back to before I was even born. Please stop!!!!

I really wish that the folk that support Clinton REALLY understood the issue at hand or are they just appearing not to understand. The decision was made over a year ago to allow workers to caucus at those 9 sites, but the day after the union throw their support to Obama, NOW it becomes a problem. People give me a break. Stop whinning and win fairly.....NOT Gonna happen...gO Obama GO!!!

obama supporters –all of your hatred and devisive behavior combined with misongyny will not equal a win for your candidate - just a place in hell where all that belongs.

poor hillary always looking for something to blame on Obama!!!

IT IS NOT OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN THAT IS RUNNING THE ADS, IT IS A UNION, THAT ALTHOUGH SUPPORTS OBAMA, IS IN NO WAY CONTROLLED BY HIS CAMPAIGN.

Everytime I turn on the television to CNN and they bring up politics, it is like watching one of the bloodiest boxing matches of the whole year. It's getting tiring to watch these people go at it like this. The Democratic candidates ought to be ashamed of themselves. They have accomplished what I thought would be impossible. They are making the Republicans look better everytime I watch them. I'm still voting for Obama, but I'm beginning to wonder if he is worth it.

And despite Obama's clean campaign image... this is another example of his camp condoning a "free fire zone" on Hillary. For all the pure and ethical image this man claims to have, his campaign is about as dirty as they come. When Clinton supporters voice their opinion in a matter it tends to be informed, clear and balanced. But when Obama supporters voice their opinion it tends to be loud, vicious, and highly inflammatory rhetoric. Is this what we want? No.

Wynter

i have nothing against woman, but it makes no sense for Bill Clinton to have sex again in the white house. Especially while running a sneaky third term through his wife.

Needless to say , how would it feel to know that your Female president is getting laid in the white house.. NOw WHOSE REALLY IN CHARGE ! , the reciever or the giver.
Picture what he would say.. Who is ur DADDY or President ?

GO OBAMA.. question to all i'll chose a semi experince smart guy ! over just a person that spent time chilling and things she has experience. all she has is a coach. and not even the bag.

People become angry when someone tries to take away their right to vote.
Another apology from Hillary Clinton's camp for remarks about what Barack did as a teenager.

I also came from a single parent household. Hillary should be glad she had two parents.

go hillary .u will win nomination and if u dont because of obama,s dirty politics ,then i will vote for mccain atleast he is got some record other than drugs andobama not knowing what obama will do in war issue
GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY
WOMAN POWER
EXPERIENCE POWER
GO HILLARY

LisaMpls,
Aj is not splitting hairs, 527's are worse in the fact that its a way to funnel money from anyone unregulated into a campaign so that its not directly linked to a candidate (you know that little max donation of $2,300 per person, this is a side step for lobbyist and people with a lot of money to throw influence around). Even though especially in this situation people in Edward's campaign knowingly took part in and ran it. Although I don't agree with the Union taking it upon themselves to attack Hillary, I believe they felt like they were being silenced by another group (the teachers union) which is although not endorsed by; strongly backs Hillary. The teachers union filed the suit stating that this should not be legal only after the support of the culinary union was expressed towards Obama. Coincidentally I'm sure the main group of people that work all over Nevada on Sat. which would be the only people effected by revoking this law are service industry...not teachers... I'm not trying to sway anyone's vote here but please don't let ignorance win this election don't vote with your heart for any candidate vote with your head.

Robert Schuetz,
Glad to see there's people like you still around to make me feel better about how I was raised and educated... Sad to see that an ignorant voice and probably less than a high school education (based on your written word) is what the rest of the world sees North America as. In all fairness you should probably thank Barak as previous editor for the Harvard Law Review as well as, a strong believer and lecturer in Constitutional Law in the fact that he would defend your right to free speech.

To a better tomorrow, make it better for the next generation.

LATINO'S UNIDOS FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.....!!!

First of All Obama is not running the ad...a third party is running the ad....read people. Second....10 months ago every candidate knew the rules and weren't opposed to the voting process....soon as Barack got the backing of the largest Union.....there is a Lawsuit.

Pretty sad day in Politics. Hilary isn't part of the Lawsuit and Obama isn't part of the ad. Makes you go HMMMMMMMM

First of All Obama is running the campaing...a third party is running the campaing....read people. Second....10 month ago every candidate knew the rules and weren't opposed to how it was....soon as Barack got the backing of the largest Union.....there is a Lawsuit.

Pretty sad in Politics that Hilary isn't part of the Lawsuit and Obama isn't part of the ad. Makes you go HMMMMMMMM

This is unbelievable the Clintons have been launching attacks at Obama all day long. I know Obama is not against the add, he is the one who quieted the attacks on race in South Carolina. What is President Clinton doing he is going after Obama? What is he doing? Clintons are unbelievable they are also dirty. She will get murdered if she wins the nomimation. The Republicans will eat her alive. Obama is the best of all the people running. Are we naive as a country and act like our White House is not dirty, please get real. Obama would shake up Washington

Go Obama

Watch Obama lose Nevada.

Hillary thinks she is bigger than her party.
She won't mind taking her party down on her way to the White House.
She is far from the little girl being pushed around.
Google 'Newsweek Hillary's Hidden Hand' and you will know more about her.

How can you expect Hillary to respect you as a restaurant worker?
You are not in her 'good American' category, which belongs to the lobbyists in D.C. who gave her the biggest donation, larger than every other candidate combined.

Unfortunately, big donations do not represent many votes,
while many small donations mean many votes.
We are not that stupid after all.

Jim,

What Kerry said was Obama won't allow anyone to switboat him.
What Kerry didn't say was that Obama would inherit it.
boy, isn't he a master of switboating?
so much for charming prince of change.

I don't get it. The ad was paid for by a 3rd party, and it is truthful. It is condemning Hillary for her bogus lawsuit to keep the caucus workers from voting. If she had not did what she did, then she wouldn't be the subject of it. I'm sorry, I do get it now. Hillary makes mistakes and yet Obama is blamed if he does what any politician should do: capitalize off it. Here's the thing. Either Clinton, Obama, or Edwards would be better than the Republican candidates, especially Huckabee. But Hillary only has herself to blame for her mistakes, and everyone knows that she would do the same to Obama. Obama has been more genteel than Clinton so far, and there is no "race card" being played here. Just the card of letting Hillary hurt herself.

Latinos! Unite for Hillary!!

Based on what I've read, the lawsuit seems to be an appalling political game and here's why I say that:

You may have noticed that a Mr. Randy Slovacek wrote: "First of all, the issue of 'at large' caucus locations ISN'T fair to everyone in Nevada. I live in Las Vegas. No one else is being catered to, so why make a special effort to the Strip workers? That simply isn't fair."

If anyone who put forth the lawsuit was interested in fairness and the issue is that no one else is being catered to, then the logical course of action would be to seek additional at-large locations instead of closing the casino sites down.

Additionally, though backers of the suit claim they didn't learn of the caucus rules until recently, they were approved at a party convention NINE MONTHS AGO. Nevada Democrats are free to set their own rules for a caucus, it isn't a government-run election. If this were an issue that the supporters of the lawsuit were genuinely passionate about, you would think they would have been carefully watching this nine months ago.

I'll give the Clintons the benefit of the doubt and will assume that they weren't behind the lawsuit directly. However, both Bill and Hillary have publicly voiced their support for the lawsuit.

The people paying for the ad are really just calling the lawsuit as they see it and since the ad is based on truth and opinion, I don't see anything wrong with it.

There's nothing wrong with a 3rd party placing an ad... oh wait.. it's not for the Bill and Hillary show so I guess it's wrong right?

Only support for the Bill and Hillary show, all others say silent.

The Clintons are pathetic!

The fact is, that she tried to take votes away from casino workers to benefit her campaign. That is un-democratic and un-american. She was completely with them last year when they made the decision to put these caucuses into the casinos, and when the culinary union supports Obama, she sends her cronies to take down the caucus locations.

Sad for her, she probably lost all of those votes. Before, I'm sure some would have voted for her, but since they found out that she was trying to silence their vote; they won't vote for her. Edwards just had to jump in, you know, since he's in third place and all.

I think that if you are a passionate political group, and you want to run an ad, then do it. As long as it is not official, then Hillary should have no buisness going at Obama like that. It's not his job to change their message, it's not like he endorsed it.

To Joeseph Pierre: Before you call Clinton and Edwards hypocrites, perhaps you should refer back to the Iowa debates where Obama was blasting Edwards when interests groups were doing this for him.

Trying to stop democrats from voting just goes too far. I can see why people are ortraged. Go OBAMA!!!

Hilary, we want a president who reads the Intelligence reports before going to war,
not filing papers and getting angry at incompetent loyal staff who keep sending apologies.
GO BO

Ends justify the means campaigns indicate ends justify the means presidents. That's not change that's status quo.

Do we all realize that the tiger woods of politics is here and here to stay? Obama is going to make America the most powerful country in the world once more by restoring our credibility and support. All you Obama haters will come to love this great American pretty soon, he might have lost a primary but he will win the majors.

I am not a Nevada resident, but I am trying to understand the issue here. This matter of holding a caucus for casino workers at their place of employment was put in play serveral months ago. Why didn't the good people of Nevada let their objections be known then. Why do you folks wait until a couple of days prior to the planned caucus event to file a law suit to prevent it. I cannot understand the logic behind it. Also, from what I understand teachers work Mon – Fri, I am not aware of children in Nevada attending class on Saturday, so you folks are free to caucus without any conflict. So, could someone please explain the outrage and unfairness in the whole HOT MESS!

Hillary deserves to be taken down a notch for the ruthless way they at least approved of (through Bill Clinton), if not secretly initiated, this shameless lawsuit. It was a voter suppression tactic worthy of a Republican not a Democrat. I cannot vote for a Democrat who acts like a Republican, so that is why I hope Obama wins. I want to have a candidate in November. How could a Democrat try to stop workers from voting? I still can't believe it.

January 17, 2008 7:49 pm ET

people, use your brains. ALL the candidates knew the rules 10 months ago, and no one complained. NOW THAT THE CULINARY WORKERS UNION BACKS OBAMA, THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO COURT TO STOP THE UNION VOTE FOR OBAMA. Is this democratic? is this respect for the working class that hilary is supposed to represent? DONT BE FOOLED BY THE CLINTONS, WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

Pete, thanks for saying it for me! Saved me some typing. It's scary how some Folk believe falsities off the bat, and even scarier when a Campaign twists the truth as the Clintons do. Actually, they morph REALITY to suit their purposes. They attack Obama, he defends, then they accuse HIM of attacking or staring the exchange....(interchange "attack" with race-bait, lie about...) There really seems to be a pattern of this. It is disconcerting. I don't blame the Voter. They are only guilty of taking the word of those in power. Of trusting. To print half-truths or partial truths is unethical and should not be rewarded by the Voter. Is honesty and personal accountability an asset for a President? I'd say yes and I struggle to find any in the Clintons.

The funniest thing about all this negative campaigning is that things were all rosey when Clinton was considered a shoo in for the nomination but as soon as Obama became a legitimate threat to her campaign things got dirty... coincidence ? .. I think not . I had a ton of respect for Hillary up until that point and felt a Clinton-Obama or an Obama-Clinton Ticket would wipe the map with any Republican duo easily ... but with all this unecessary BS going on it will never be a reality and they are giving the republicans hope which thye should have ZERO after the past 8 years of destroying Americas reputation in the worlds eye while burrying the common man for big business.

ANYONE BUT OBAMA!!!!

Those who think what has happened in the Nevada campaign over the last few days is dirty and shameful and think it might turn off people around the world are not students of political campaigns. This campaign nowhere nears the nastiness of campains in England and many other countrys (like Russia, where death or imprisonment may be the price you pay). Even Kennedy would not have become president had his father not delivered thousands of dollars and pulled strings to buy votes. Kennedy knew what was happening but said nothing.

Strong willed and politically savvy people like the Clintons will do what is necessary to win. During Bill's two campaigns, he and Hillary learned how to fight hard and mean. Bill is going to use all the arrows in his political quiver to get a win for Hillary. He owes her that in light of her support for him during his beleaguered presidency brought on by numerous acts of disrespect and deceipt. Although he puts on a good act to appear a nice guy, I think he is very wiley and hasn't fully changed his ways.

Obama has undoubtedly read some of the many books about the Clintons and how they operate. He knows he is in for the fight of his life, and, being a winner, he is not about to back down and allow the Clintons run over him. One can tell by the nature of his relationship with his wife, Michelle, that Obama is a good man. Michelle would not have him if he was any other way. Obama is also studied enough in politics to know that you sometimes have to use fire to fight fire. He knows the Clinton Machine (which goes beyond Bill and Hillary) and he knows he will have to be excedingly tough and determined to be successful.

I haven't seen many hard fought political campaigns where TV and radio ads don't purposely mislead the voters about the opponent or his/her position on issues. Carl Rove and the RNC were great for that. What is happening in Nevada is a far cry from how the RNC operates, so I think we should cut the candidates a little slack and support whomever we favor.

I don't think Obama likes or trusts the Clintons, and I don't think the Clintons are about to allow Obama to win a race that they think is destined for Hillary. So, let them go at it. Both would make good presidents. What would be a loss for either would be a win for our country.

AJ for IL (at 11:14 p.m.): don't you see you are falling for Obama's hair-splitting tactics again?? Who cares whether it is a 527 or a union putting out the commercials? Obama is only making that distinction so he can benefit from the nasty ads. Please explain to me why Edwards' supporters' 527 ads are any worse. You say the union can say whatever it wants as a means of getting info to its members...so you support telling their members how to vote, and in such a nasty tone? Since when does where you work mean you have to be subjected to your bosses controlling the hand with which you vote??

Hillary, I am with you all the way!!

Hi everyone ! Thanks for taking an interest in this pointless back-and-forth between Hillary and Barack ! I am entertained by everyone's conspiracy theories ! I am very amused, you guys are all amazing

EDWARDS/BIDEN 2008 !!!!!

KUCINICH FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL !!!

PUT CHENEY IN GUANTANAMO !!!

-jef

I'm a Republican, and this coming November, I'm voting for Hillary Clinton.

HILLARY '08!

I hop Latinos are smart,Wake up Latinos...only Hillary help Latinos....Obama its Fake...[OPRAH]

Go Hillary

Latinos For Hillary...

now people will see what kinda guy obama is.if somebody else sued its hillary fault but he will claim ads not his fault.his people talking about clinton,his preacher saying stupid stuffabout clinton,his staff flashed hillary statements evrywhere .i dont see any reason for anybody to vote for him go hillaryyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Clinton supporters sound afraid!!! what is it your afraid of?

I only hope they repair themselves for the nomination, its funny because the democrats have clearly shown they could blow this, in any case the suit against the culinary union was inevitable if hillary would have won it an edwards union would have filed the suit etc... its expected. Im still suprised however how cicvil iowa forces one to be lol, this is how the elections are going to be times 100%, Its no fluex the clinton's are persistant politicians that never seem to die which is why i strongly believe she can pull the election despite her negatives. If she wins Nevada and i think she's got it, despite her probable loss in south carolina. Polls in nevada project her show her ahead by about 2-9 points but polls have lost all their credability atleast untill the nomination is rapped up.

This may be the first year I vote republican. I just feel that O'Bama says one thing then does another. He supposedly is against old Washington yet who are the Senators that keep giving there support to him but the old senators. The only policies he comes up with are what another campaign states first. If he is such a great, honorable person he would not stand for favorable sites set up to benefit his election in Nevada.

Only people who blog on political sites like this care about this. Yawn...next story please. This is stupid.

I find it interesting that Obama supporter tear Hillary up for the same behavior they find refreshing in Obama. I had hoped when the candidates had a great and civil debate that the posts would follow suit. I guess that was too much to ask of such an angry crowd.

Obama is not MLK or a savior or a demigod. He is just a man. A man riding on a crest of good favor that could crash at any time. Hillary is not the devil or the devil's wife. She is a woman who has had to take an unbelievable amount of crap off the the republicans and now off her own party members who seem to be taking their notes from republican playbooks.

I heard a woman on the russ parr show call Hillary a scank today. A scank? This is how low our people and country have sunk when women parrot the same misogynistic degrading talk we abhor from men. At least that woman was a comedian doing it for the money. To the people in these posts, particularly the women, who say the hateful and angry things and out of the other side of their mouth talk about the hope, change and unity I ask is this what the "Yes we can" slogan means?

My opinion is that, the media backing the Culinary Union ad paying in favor of Barack Obama, but when puting Hillary's ads or news, they cut the whole sentence of meaning,and try to knock down her.

Shame on you Barack Obama! I thought your campaign was about "HOPE" and "CHANGE"! It seems to me its politics as usual, he just says things that sound good. VOTE HILLARY 08!!

Nando, Obama had a problem when John Edwards did it in IOWA. That is hypocritical.

The big question is, what has Obama done apart from talk and move your soul but at the end of the day your house is still in foreclosure and your son is still in Iraq. Please check his record before you vote otherwise we are getting ready to hand this election to the Republicans again.

He went to Kenya a couple of years ago to a hero's welcome but now his people are dying there and where is he? Yes he made a couple of calls but no action. Please remember there are story tellers and there are doers.

Here is a chance for him to show his foreign policy savvy especially since it is so close to home, it is home.

Let's set Alex straight on what Hillary's credentials REALLY are:

FACTS taken from her website:

As a law student, Hillary represented foster children and parents in family court and worked on some of the earliest studies creating legal standards for identifying and protecting abused children.

Following graduation, she became a staff attorney for the Children's Defense Fund.

After serving as only one of two women lawyers on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee considering the impeachment of Richard Nixon, Hillary chose not to pursue offers from major law firms.

Hillary ran a legal aid clinic for the poor when she first got to Arkansas and handled cases of foster care and child abuse.

Years later, she organized a group called Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.

When she was just 30, President Carter appointed her to the board of the United States Legal Services Corporation, a federal nonprofit program that funds legal assistance for the poor.

When Bill was elected Governor of Arkansas, She served on national boards for the Children's Defense Fund, the Child Care Action Campaign, and the Children's Television Workshop. She also continued her legal career as a partner in a law firm.

She led the American Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession, which played a pioneering role in raising awareness of issues like sexual harassment and equal pay.

Hillary was twice named one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America.

As First Lady, Hillary led efforts to make adoption easier, to expand early learning and child care, to increase funding for breast cancer research, and to help veterans suffering from Gulf War syndrome. She helped create the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997.

She was instrumental in designing and championing the State Children's Health Insurance Program, which has provided millions of children with health insurance.

Hillary's 1995 book It Takes A Village, about the responsibility we all have to help children succeed, became an international best seller and she donated more than a million dollars to children's causes across the country.

Hillary's autobiography, Living History, was also a best seller.

In 2000, Hillary was elected to the United States Senate from New York. As Senator, she has been a national leader on homeland security and national security issues.

She is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee, working to see that America's military has the necessary resources to protect our national security.

Her credentials go on and on and on and on…

DEFINITELY THE MOST QUALIFIED TO START ON DAY 1. HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!! VIVA HILLARY!

The Truth always leaps up and bites the Clinton's on their butts! This ad is true, everyone knows it and I'm glad someone stood up and voiced THE TRUTH on air!

Obama understands the plight of America and the world at large. His background growing up in Indonesia(muslim), ancestry from Africa(black), childhood in Kansas(white- people of european descent), his teenage years in Hawaii( Japanese, Latino), as a community organizer in Chicago( Christian charity organizations), as Harvard trained constitutional lawyer and as a 7-year senator in Il and now in Washington , make him the most experienced, versatile and capable unifying individual this country has ever produced. He is the best person to do damage control after the Bush disaster. The world will certainly work with him to end the war on terror and save the $ and American lives. So fellow democrats, republicans, independents, let's embrace the Obama movement. In the quest to win the the hearts and minds of the friendly people of this world, Obama is our best bet.

You guys are killing me. First of all, you cant win a campaign without discrediting your opponent. It's just not possible. Second, all those anti-Obama people upset because he's attacking your precious Hillary, watch the news! Bill is on almost daily attacking, not discrediting, Obama and then apologizing. Third, every presidential canidate promises the moon when trying to get elected, even Hillary. Fourth, no one has even seen Obama try to implement his plan of change, and anti-Obama people are already calling him a liar. Guess what guys, we dont know that, only time will tell.

GO OBAMA

and by the way "mess", democrats are big government. If you dont think Hillary would increase the government, you are mistaken!

All of these negative responses to Obama and most you all don't even know what a 527 group is!

527 Group – A tax-exempt group organized under section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code to raise money for political activities including voter mobilization efforts, issue advocacy and the like. (per http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/types.asp)

Obama has already stated in general terms, that groups outside the Presidential campaigns should not be funding in favor of a candidate. Specifically we are talking about 527 groups. Obama has been clear and concise on this issue.

The UNITE HERE commercial is not paid for by an independent "527 group." It is paid for by the union, which is permitted as a means of communicating to its 60,000 members.

The problem here is that back in Iowa John Edwards's former campaign manager was running the 527 group that launched ads in Iowa. Obama called Edwards's out on this. Hillary would have love to get the Cuminary Workers' Union endorsement but she didn't and now she and her campaign were supportive of the lawsuit.

To be clear, so for example, say that Oprah and some of her celebrity friends got together and formed a 527 group and ran commercials in Nevada to support Obama, then Edwards's and Clinton would have a legitimate gripe against Obama, but they don't.

OBAMA in '08!

Is she crying tears yet? Watch for that sympathy vote again!

treborjant1975,

Please stop spreading spam emails

Y"all (and yes i said y'all, y'all is a contraction of two words – you and all. Learn your english) are ignorant. Hilary has not done anything for black people, neither has Bill. You will believe the words of the Clinton idiots when the use black politicians to discredit him by saying "he started the 'race' war". That is dumb as hell, i was right in front of the tube when she discredited martin luther king jr. and i was there when she used the BET sellout to help her gain black credit. But what do I know, older black ignoramus' will continue to support Clinton for things she never did, while the black community suffered tremendously, as well as the hispanic community. When hurrican katrina went down Obama was there, Clinton wasn't, when the Democratic Republic of Congo needed help, Obama was there, Clinton wasn't. When nobody would pay attention to the black community in Chicago, Obama was there Clinton wasn't. I'll listen to a man/woman that can run a country, but i'll respect a man/woman that can aide a country and ALL of its citizens. The poor minorities, the poor caucasians, the rich republicans, the poor republicans, the rich republicans, immigrants, native americans, and anyone else whose ever had to kiss uncle sam's behind. Hilary's slick, but Obama can roll up his sleeves.

ASSOCIATED PRESS 1/15/08: "The plaintiffs are the Nevada State Education Association, its president, Lynn Warne, and five others. Debbie Cahill, the deputy executive director of the teachers' union, is a Clinton supporter and a member of the campaign's Nevada Women's Leadership Council.

Two senior partners of the law firm handling the suit, Kummer, Kaempfer, Bonner, Renshaw and Ferrario, have donated to Clinton in the past. Also, Clinton ally and former Rep. Jim Bilbray is an attorney at the firm.

The state Democratic Party unanimously approved the caucus rules last March, and the Democratic National Committee signed on in August. Four of the six plaintiffs are members of the committee that approved the rules."

?????? WILL YOU APPROVE THIS COMMENT CNN??????

I think many of these comments are naked endorsements of their candidate of choice. Hey, this is politics. Do you really think that the sharp elbows would not appear. I find it ludicrious that folks are crying foul with the ads when after the deal was struck - more than a year ago I might add, all of a sudden there is a lawsuit... they ( clintons) play innocent bystander. GIVE ME A BREAK. The clintons a wolves. Keep watching, listening .. You'll see the attacks.. far enough away that when a surrogate throws a elbow, they'll cry innocent.

Don't be fooled.. This is american politics .. We need a change .. OBAMA in 08

TO Selective outrage, anyone? (comments)

Thanks for pointing out all the pro’s and cons’s to the Strip caucus sites. Let me add one small point. ALL PARTIES INVOLVED AGREED to it almost a YEAR ago. But since Obama go their endorsement last week.
Two days after that the Clintons supporters sued saying the Strip Caucus’s are unfair. IF Hillary had gotten this endorsement they would have never had the law suite PERIOD!

Don't be so sure about an Obama win because that might make Hillary might cry...again.

"GO OBAMA GO!!!" – that's the sound of teachers, administrators, and support staff at my CCSD (Clark County Sch. Dist., Las Vegas) school.

Clinton gets a taste of her own medicine and gets ticked off? Hillary, go home!

The difference between this Culinary Union ad and Hillary's ads: the Culinary Union ad is arguably true. Hillary's ads and fliers are blatantly false.

Everybody knew the rules months ago so why should Clinton supporters wait until the Culinary union endorses Obama to raise this issue. The ad is totally fair because the Clintons only want to change to rules when they think it's to their advantage. I'm glad the courts threw out the bogus lawsuit. If the Clintons don't like the heat, then get out of the kitchen!

lol CNN it helps if you actually had credible TRANSLATORS to translate the brunt of the message. The part where they seemingly said "Hillary Clinton is Shamless" was actually saying "Shame on Hillary Clinton" which is justified seeing as she did not condemn the teachers union for filing the lawsuit. We cannot have a president who acts by not acting and clearly shows that she wants things both ways.

Everyone says that Hillary shouldn't be blamed for the law suit because her campaign didn't file it so the people of Nevada shouldn't blame her, but in the same blog they say that Obama is at fault for the ads and he should pull them, when infact it was the people that were being threatened to lose their vote that started that ad. So if Hillary's camp isn't to blame for the law suit , why is Obama's camp to blame for the ads?

I am very surprised to read and listening to Obama support for Latinos. I don't think so!
“The president of the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute criticized U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Thursday for supporting a bill that calls for the construction of a 700-mile wall along the border of the United States and Mexico.

Dr. Juan Andrade Jr. called the proposed wall offensive and “an insult to those of us of Mexican ancestry.” He also said Obama owes immigrants, especially Mexicans, an apology.”

http://www.hispanictips.com/2006/10/13/senator-obama-takes-heat-over-border-wall-support/

I just wish CNN publishes this

This message is not by the obama campaign it is by another body read the news well before you Hillary attack Dogs start attacking the man it was by "unite here campaign committee" they are voicing their opinion which i feel is reasonable the caucuses have been decided since last year May and also ratified in August so why the change of heart. They know who represents them well they have their senses working and they sponsored the ads. Obama did not endorse it. Also Obama Has never went negative it is his supporters that are voicing out to the Clinton's negative ads and comments. The Clinton's everyone can bear witness have been all out attack from Bill to Hillary to campaign managers. Even after the truce she started again yesterday stating that obama's comment about files not his business which i believe there is too much work to be done than looking at every file do you know how many files are in the white house? and they go on and on why obama is not ready i feel all these comments are pathetic seriously i never wanted to vote for anyone but i am going to vote for Obama. Hilary believes it is grey hair/Age that means experience ( Lies) and Obama represents the present the larry page, the jerry yangs the present and the future of Us. Obama has more experience than Clinton if experience is sleeping in the white house then i can bet a cook has more experience than obama. Hilary never held any major political position until year 2000. obama has been in the illionois senate since 1996 and his community work cannot be over ridden. He is a uniter but i cant blame the kid for been so well brought up and organized and with his qualities give it to his mama. GO OBAMA 2008 You Are the Man.

Told ya Obama was no different than any other politician, willing to play dirty to get what he wants.
He talks a good game, very smooth, manages to pull it over on so many.
I wonder when they'll wake up from their trance and see he is no different.
How he must be laughing to himself how he's got so many fooled.
NO Obama in '08.

Shame on Obama for playing dirty politics. He is another politician.

Sighs I was fell for his hope, unity and change message in Iowa.

Did Kevin, Nevada say dirty tricks by Obama? Not only has Obama run a clean, positive and inspiring campaign, But Hillary is the queen of disingenuous, dirty campaigning. Most people know that the ultimate political players – Billary – are willing to do anything for power.

remember folks. the clinton camp is SETTING UP ANOTHER VICTIM PLOY. if they lose Nevada, they will blame it on the UNFAIR casino workers court decision. Get votes by making americans feel sorry for you!!!

All of you Billary supporters....GET A LIFE!

Everybody knows who was behind that lawsuit. Everybody agreed to the caucus sites LAST March. If they didnt agree with it, why not say something then.

When Billary didnt get the Culinary endorsement, they got mad and put those people up to filing the lawsuit, but it didnt work. GOD is good! Obama '08!

How ironic, the candidate who prides himself for being above race continues to polarize the white, Latino and African American communities. I hope the Latino community recognizes that Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have the talent, skills and commitment to do more for the Latino community than Obama. Obama is dividing the races and quickly.

That old ugy word "truth" always comes out. It appears that is what is happening with Obama. After the master of disaster, George W Bush, we know when we are being fed a bunch of crap like Obama is feeding us. I've tasted it once and don't want to taste it again.

hugh,tx. As a native of this land, I am amused that you are calling to have yourself deported to whatever european country you come from.

Another successful trick from the Obama campaign, just as they do it here in Chicago.
Btw, where is the Obama record in helping Latinos? What he has done for the huge Latino community in Chicago? NOTHING! Does he really marched for them, supported his issues in Illinois? NO, never! So for him to suddenly start saying he is with the Latino community or representing the latinos is a BIG LIE. Latinos in Nevada or elsewhere should not be listening to him. Where is his record? Enough of manipulation from that fake campaign that want to portrait his candidate as the one who knows everything and the one whos records is best in everything. I don't buy it. I am not stupid.
Obama no te creo nada, aqui no has hecho nada en Chicago eres un impostor con una sonrisa grande e hipocrita, y reseinto que tomes el slogan de Cesar Chavez "Si se puede" esto es manchar la memoria de un gran hombre, eres un impostor Obama, no te creo!

It is sad that after 8 years of mis-governance, again Republican are going to win. There is no good candidate from democrat. Obama...........a fluent talker but not somebody who has capacity, idea and experience to lead america! Hillary.........a woman. America is not ready to elect a female president, mark my word. There would be a lot of coup in various title. Edwards...........a possibly a good enough candidate for lacking stardom, so pretty soon will be out of campaign because of money and so on!
Congratulation Republicans, once again country is YOURS!

One Chance for this country to trully change. One chance for the wrong of slavery to right it self in one country at least. This country as others, is rich with free labor. However, it can be reformed with the support of each other. Clinton can't be black, nor his wife. One chance for a legacy to be broken. All white men have come before, however we have one chance to make history for ourselves. Vote for who you believe can change this country; we have one chance to do so. People you know who I am talking to. Break the mold of all the prisons being filled by a majority, when they are the minority. One Chance!!!!

Obama should surely stop this add. But the people who did this add were right. One year after knowing about the location of these votes in Nevada, the Clinton couple never objected until few days before the election. There is no way that they both didn't know about the lawsuit before, even if Mr.Clinton objected to this fact. They were so sure that Hillary will be always the Democratic front runner and now that they have some real competition they are more than scared.
Even if Obama doen't win it is not going to be easy for them.
I say them because they are two running, one is behind who is always backing the other.

Obama is just another politician playing dirty tricks and using people to play his game. Hopefully Nevadans are smart to see him for what his true color is, Obama has to apologize to both Clinton and Edwards for this dirty, slimy political ads that he is promoting and advocating. Go Hillary ..... all the way.

Obama's holier than thou' attitude is getting a little old. He's running a slicker campaign than Hilary and people are buying it up.

go OBAMA your the best one out

The only decent Dem candidate left is Kucinich and he may not even get on some of the ballots the rest of the way out. Not rock star enough I guess, eh?

This nation's obsession with celebrities is going to cost us big in November. Everybody is so busy being lemmings they forgot what the heck they were supposed to be voting for to begin with.

Clinton is scary evil. Obama is not even remotely qualified. Edwards is either too stupid or to too dishonest to be elected to anything. Two of the three candidates who actualy had a clue were Biden and Dodd and look what happend to them.

It is amazing how certain Obama supporters will sit blindly and distort what is factual with the same old garbage! First off, former President Clinton was not Impeached, the US Senate said there was not enough substance for impeachement! True he lied like any other person who was being attacked in the way he was by the Republicans were would lie on a personal matter as would 00% of the people blogging here would! Yet Obama supporters ignore his association with a corrupt and charges extortionist Obama aided in funding pojects that were never realized and even bought and sare land as neighbours!

During this campaign many say Obama has worked on his job in all the Senates, that is impossible considering he spent 5 of his 11 years as State and US Senators campaigning for higher office and avoided controversial bills continually! Clinton on her first US Senate run said she would not seek the Presidency, and she didn't!

Obama lied to his constituants when running for the US Senate stating he would not seek out the Presidency if elected to the Senate but would serve his FULL term for his Electorats! That is a lie of POLITICAL nature!
Obama continues to say he is against the war, yet forgets when asked if he was privy to the Senate confidential information before voting how would he have voted, answered by an "I don't know how I'd of voted" conviction of flip flop again not mentioned by Obama! Clinton stands on her vote based on the facs presented, which scares off Obama supporters, who prefer pie in the sky rhetoric to judgement based on provided facts!

The more and more you learn about Obama, the more and more it becomes apparent that slogans are all he has, the substance is well nothing!

In the times of Mortgage failures, war, the economy downturn and America's reputation in the world failing at every turn, no one needs someone who has caused divide, lied and instilled hatred into a campaign for the highest position in the land! Obama shouts out Uniting, Change and Hope but has only proven his ability to Divide, Change for his gain and Hope the majority are ignorant enough to give him a free pass to the Whitehouse!

And the Republicans are salvating at tearing Obama to shreds and winning the Whitehouse if he is the candidate they run against! Simply based on one simple fact, a $3000 empty suit is just an empty suit! They proved it in '04, the easiest election to beat out a sitting President in modern history!

One more thing CNN, why do you have his arrogant greasy smug on any headline that has his name referenced? I can see why other canidates and supporters are going after this idiotic press.

HRC in '08 PERIOD

The best man for the job is a WOMAN –
Give'em Hell Hillary

OBAMA= An embarrassment and discrace to this party, this country, and to his folks.

SAD, SAD, SAD.

For good news and real facts check out the HRC page. I would type it out, but CNN would censor more of my first amendment rights.

HRC in '08 PERIOD

It would seem that Clinton supporters turn a blind eye to her shenanigans. They only see the times when Obama stands up for himself. I have to admit when I read this it surprised me. This appears more like the manipulation of the Clinton smear campaign than the dignity we are used to with Obama. Although, I did stop to think that the only way to beat the Clinton's is at their own game. I don't necessarily agree with this type of campaigning, but I really don't care for what HIllary and Bill have been doing these past two weeks. They will stop at nothing to manipulate and smear. Is it starting to feel like a fairy tale to Hillary now?

OK so 99% of you who responded above, obviously did not read the article. Please READ THE ARTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT. Perhaps then we won't have so many boneheaded remarks.

Hillary and Bill are the biggest opportunists I have ever seen! I am sick and tired of hearing Hillary talk about her 35 years of experience. Let's just look at her experience – she hasn't done anything. I know for a fact that she has built some real enemies on the Childrens Defense Fund where she was on the board of directors because her position in support of children changed for political reasons when she and Bill were in the white house. So can she be trusted? Absolutely not! She is just spouting what she things people want to hear, but people read between the lines. She is fake.

I thought Hillary said she stands for the working people.
The question is which working people?
The one making more money and contributing more to her war chest?

oh cool cnn screens stuff...

GO OBAMA!!!! The Clintons have been lying and manipulating for months, glad you finally got them at their own game!

OBAMA 08

The funniest thing is that American people are yet to understand the gimmick of most politicians, they will always pretend to be fighting for the people but on the long run we will realized they are actually fighting for their own pocket. As human beings we need to watch what we say or do, who knows it might come back to bite us in the back. Nevada politics is not going to be the end of this negativism we are likely going to see more of “do me and I will do you” kind of politics but does this benefit our country at this stage of our development when we are trying to fight terrorism and economic recession. It is high time both parties should call their candidates and their surrogates to order, and let act maturely and leave negative ad of our opponents and think about how they could help bring back the glory of our great nation. “A word is enough for the wise”.

It seems that Obama will rip off anyone's slogan to get elected. He has John Kennedy's former speach writer to help with those great speeches of his....now he is using Cesar Chavez's slogan?? (By the way, Cesar Chavez's brother, endorsed Hillary Clinton.) TOO MUCH FLUFFLY FEEL GOOD Speeches – NOT ENOUGH SUBSTANCE! Go Hillary!

Pay attention people. Obama's campaign is not behind this. Created by a separate group who at least didn't distort the truth like the Clintons do. Those that support Hill & Bill can't see facts no matter how much the dots align. They sound like Bush/Rove sheep the past seven years. Do we really want that attitude trying to bond our nation?

i'm with you druie cavendar. know how to make that happen? sadly, i dont

now, i support ABH (ANYone but Hillary) Billary put that crown down. Shout on high from down below: dynasty has got to go!!!!!

Obama is not steady, at all. He will do and say whatever is expedient for him. You would think that Obama would have warned the Culinary Union not to run any ads on his behalf after the stink he raised over the 527 ad for Edwards in Iowa. But, suddenly he defends 527 ads.

Now, combine this ad incident to him giving credit to Ronald Reagan: He will do and say anything for a vote.

Finally, it needs to be said that his stance on fighting against negative corporate interests is a farce. He WILL NOT AT ALL take that fight on. He can't! That's why he avoided the question asking whether his oil and health care investors expected something from him.

By playing the race card again, Obama just lost my vote. What a hypocrite!

This one's simple. Anyone who is not flacking for the Clinton campaign because of their own personal reasons sees the truth.

The Clinton campaign signed off on the Nevada caucus structure last year. It was only after they didn't get the endorsement from the Culinary workers that the lawsuit emerged.

It's more politics by poor sportsmanship from a campaign that's taken it to an artform. Ask us a question at a debate that we don't like? We'll demonize you and say you're either (1) sexist or (2) from the right wing. Criticize us? You're piling on a poor woman. Won't vote for us? We'll disenfranchise you.

How about acting like adults members of the Clinton campaign. By the way, Richardson was the only one in this race with any experience running anything anyway. Senator Clinton = experience? What has she accomplished?

to druie cavender: know any way to do that? Sadly i dont.....

i am an impassioned supporter of ABH (ANYone but hillary) Billary put down that crown! shout it out hi and lo, dynasty has got to go.....~!

First of all these caucus sites where first implemented last year by the request of the Clintons!!! They wrongly assumed that the union would endorse Hillary. The lawsuit was not filed until 2 days after the union endorsed Obama!! Read the facts!! The people that filed the lawsuit are Clinton supporters. They are now trying to disinfranchise the voters that do not support them. This is something that all Americans should be concerned about no matter who you support!!

Obama's supporters have turned their backs to the TRUTH and bare facts being that Hillary had nothing with the lawsuit. They are now purveying the big LIE that she had. They are really getting more and more desperate with their BELOW THE BELT attacks against HILLARY. If Obama does not disown these lies and black propaganda of which his supporters are guilty, then he is equally guilty. Come on, have Obama's supporters LOST HOPE? Indeed, they have lost hope as evidenced by the glaring show and headlines that they are now making by resorting to lies and insinuations to paint a bad image of HILLARY. Is this the kind of CHANGE that Barack's supporters are preaching nationwide – change for the worse with LIES and falsehoods? Are these lies, flaws and faults what the Obama camp is talking about when they say "SOMETHING IS HAPPENING"? You know what, they are not helping Obama in the long run with their lies and mistakes. Instead, they are indirectly helping HILLARY win as a form of chastisement. If they are, then HILLARY's victory in the end as Democrat nominee cannot be helped.

Hey Garth...... You are so full of it.

If Obama had a Halo and angels wings you would have never voted for him in the first place.

You Amature political hacks trying to plant seeds and be slick about it are really funny. It is fun to see how much time you waste trying.

GO HILLARY! The Obama campaign should be ashamed of themselves for propagating this lie and, once again, completely distorting the facts of this controversy. Obama and his backers are going DOWN.

Let's face it, today in politics you can't stay 100% positive. Scrupulous politicians like Bush and Clinton will hit you with so much negative press that everyday there's a new rumor you have to deal with while the opponents talks about the issues and cries. I'm sorry that Obama's supporters (not him) have to show some teeth but it's the reality of politics: no matter what Americans say, no candidate can win without going negative. Americans reward negative ads by second guessing the candidate who is the victim, and as long as these so called "independent" groups that bring up the rumors and negative press are not held accountable for their actions, there will never be a truly positive campaign. That and the media sucks at covering politics. I mean, why not talk about issues FOR ONCE. Then we can bring up the laundry list of scandals the Clintons have been involved in.... America has just about become a democracy of dunces.

Just strengthens my support of Hillary Clinton.

Dear Obama,

Take a look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? Forgot your own message of hope? Wow.

I'm unimpressed. It's nice that you are showing more of yourself in the past days and weeks.

Prediction: You will self destruct by Super Tuesday.

The only ones left standing by convention time will be Edwards and Clinton.

The ad is the complete truth. The way that Bill Clinton is reacting to this says it all. If the tables were turned, everything would be fine with the Clintons.

Robert from Gastonia.... do you realize that it was Hillary who voluntarily made the statement about MLK? She didn't have to make it, but it's Clinton modus operandi to throw out dirt and hope some of it sticks. If the comments were twisted it was her fault.

Here's a quick primer in the Clinton strategy: After the Iowa caucus, Hillary conceeded the black vote. She knew she would not get it, but she also knew that she didnt need it to win the nomination. Hillary, Bill, and surrogates decided to mention race whenever possible. This would lead to herself being seen as the "white candidate", and Obama as the "black candidate." Even if it angered the black community, some of it would stick and would probably help her in the white community.

Thankfully, it looks like this strategy is starting to backfire on her.

Vote McCain-Giuliani in 2008!

In McCain, we have military and Washington experiences.

In Giuliani, we have a fighter of terrorists, criminals, and a strong leader in big government operations.

I'm sorry, but this ad sounds terribly like "Swiftboating" to me, how disappointing. I thought the Obama campaign was supposed to be above this type of thing. Seems to be ok when it serves their purpose though. I'm sure the ads would stop if the campaign wanted them to stop, even if they are being run by "Unite Here Campaign Committee." I also thought Senator Obama was not going to be beholding to any special group...sure doesn't sound like that now. I am only becoming more convinced that my support of Hillary is the correct choice as the Obama campaign seems no different than what they have been accusing their opponents of. Didn't his supporters say the Clintons should have put a stop immediately to their supporters making any controversial or inappropriate remarks also? Well, I guess the truce is over as tonight on the news I heard a quote from a minister who supports Sen. Obama, which if correct, sounded very "un-Christian." I don't think Senator Obama is offering as much change as he has promised if these are examples. Sad, as I had thought he might be a great President in a few more years.

I also have noticed the 3 Dem. candidates do seem to be held to entirely different standards, and do seem to receive different media coverage: Sen. Obama – all positive; Sen. Clinton – all negative; Sen. Edwards – largely ignored unless he sides with Sen. Obama. The press sure knows how to divide, not unite, the electorate!

As another poster commented, I am also tired of all of the "lashes out, bashes, slams, etc" headlines from the press. President Clinton did not sound furious or enraged, he sounded like he was making a point he felt strongly about, how many of us would have responded the same way. If the reporter was that "sensitive", he should look for different work. Again, so tired of all of the bias and double standards!

Garth January 17, 2008 9:07 pm ET

It was a matter of time befoer Obama used his race to gain votes, he has lost my vote.
==============================================================

Garth Brooks, you moron, Obama never had your vote. If he did, you would not let this prevent you from supporting Obama. Are you that naive to believe Obama had something to do with this 3rd party ad? You must haven"t followed his campaign too well. You are lost in all the media hype.

I'm happy Obama finally take up the Clintons and beat them at their own game. Bill keeps attacking and apologizing to Obama at will. Its about time the attack turn to bill cause he seem to be the one instigating the nasty politics. Let the add run

Clinton and Edwards what goes around comes around, i am just waiting for the recount in NH lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, Everyone go to the NH website and see how many errors have already been found in the recount

Keep those ads coming for OBAMA because the more you see them the more you see what his true "change" is all about, which is telling lies, but having others do it for him. What better way to take the light off him and have his supporters do the dirty work for him. This way he shines bright and looks like the innocent one in all this, always putting Hillary on the defensive, while he sits back and says nothing and making him seem like the one who is getting beat up on. Good strategy. Key word is "strategy" here , not "presidential ideating" and in the end, the voters will see that and stick to the issues that concern them most...healthcare,wages, and living the american dream.

Go Hillary..

wow Obama is a uniter...give me a break..first He plays the race card..and get caught red handed at the debate the other night...which work because He will win S.C. and now He got Spanish people fighting among each other... He can try all He wants...But He won't win C.A. over 300 delgates, NY, NJ, PA etc. Totally agree elections should not be held in casino..and the union workers should not have to stand there and be watched by their bosses while the voting take place of course they will vote for Obama if they don't want to lose their jobs...

YOUR ATTENTION EVERYONE!
BRITNEY SPEARS, PARIS HILTON AND PUFF DADDY ARE REPORTEDLY BACKING HILLARY

Obama must win. He is already the president and I support him fully. Who is missing out on this campaign? Please, take a few minutes to listen to Obama. He is the only true candidate in the campaign trail.

He is the only promising candidate to bring change to America. Change on economy, Iraq war, immigration, health care and many other things. Has any one seen his economy plan? That is what the American people need right now.

Go ahead Obama. You are the winner. You did not run to lose. You ran because you want change for the American people, you want the American people to have their country back.

Thank you Druie Cavender. I agree with you. Joe Biden is the only qualified Democrat to be President.

What a hypo? What happened to all your crying in Iowa? Does this mean, you are in the same boat edwards was in Iowa? Number 2 is not all that back – for bonehead.

Looks like Hillary may be getting a dose of her own medicine. It's about time, and after seeing the mailers that her campaign sent out in New Hampshire and Nevada, I'm convinced that karma may be coming into play here.

selective outrage: You are exactly right. This whole thing is a gross miscarriage of justice. It wreaks of political muscle and union hard ball. Where is our outrage? This is not fair and not the America we call the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The real democratic front runner will soon be known. And this time, there would be no tear, trick, tactic or fraud.

It is interested to note that NBC went to court to prevent Kucinich appearing on the debate in Nevada. One of the reasons for this censorship is that they are afraid that Kucinich will talk about what happen in New Hampshire. The CNN/Gallup polls were actually accurate; the polls showed that Obama with a lead of 7 points on the eve of New Hampshire primary. Indeed there was a deceit benefiting the so-called surprised winner. Eventually the American people will know the truth, and when the truth reveals the voters’ propensity will clearly go toward the leader with the sound judgment, not the divider. Kucinich really believes that there was a fraud. He supports this belief with hard cash, by paying for the recounts that is now in order. Kucinich believes that Barrack Obama has won the New Hampshire primary; and Hillary Clinton came in second. The Diebold scanning machine were breached For instance, technicians who support the Diebold machines were allowed to break the security seal to change the memory card on the scanning machine during the Election Day under the pretense that the Diebold machine broke down. There seems to be evidence that the surprise winner got a bump of +4.5% and the second candidate’s vote counts were subtracting by 2.5%

I am puzzled. Obama was not involved in the ad. It is a fact that Hillary's backers started the lawsuit to present the culinary workers from voting. What is problem of this ad voiced by the culinary workers' union to complain? If I were these workers, I would do the same thing.

Why don;t you adults grow up, I've never read so much back and forth lip service from grown people in my life, and I am 70 yrs. old, each of you need to get on your knees and pray for piece the rest of the way.

I hope people can see what is becoming ever clear to me. First Hillary's comments about MLK was twisted and spread like wild fire among the black community to discredit her. Even though she has fought all her life for equality a little mud slinging by Obama and his supporters and the black vote is slipping from her. Now a law suit which was not brought by her and a negative latino radio ad is turning the latino community against her when she has clearly worked overtime to include and support the latino community. Obama and his supporters should be ashamed. Someone or something is trying to turn all of the major voting blocks against Hillary Clinton with negative and false information. I can only hope that people wake up and see the smear campaign for what it is, a desperate attempt by Obamas campaign to cripple Clinton with the minority vote.

To the comment stating that Hilary didn't understand Latinos. I have to ask how does Obama or any of the other Democratic candidates at all? If you want to call immigration the Latino issue for this election year, than Obama's stance is not all that supportive or new(McCain actually seems the most liberal on the issue). The Culinary Union does not represent all Latinos, and its sad that apparently union members can't vote on their own or make political decisions by themselves apparently. The thing that bothers me about this situation is that the candidates have done little to address Latino voters directly, not until recently when Nevada became a battle state. However, regarding this article in particular, what really irritates me is that Obama and his supporters call him the politician of change. However, so far I've just observed politics as usual from him and his supporters. This adds to the current schism of Democrats, which will suck come November, thanks a lot Obama and Hilary.

Barack Obama is nothing more than a cheerleader, hoping to get elected on words wihout substance.

The media can do whatever it is they do to elevate Senator Obama as the favorite among african americans.

I'm african american, and I will in no way vote for someone just because that person is also african american.

My vote goes to the best qualified person who is able to lead this country.

Hillary needs to step down period!!! That woman is soo weak and sensitive to be a President. She gets easily moved by Obama's political mind games. why does she feel It's OK for her to let Bob Johnson talk about Obama's past 30 yrs ago while any political attack on her she's ready to wipe tears and has her husband ready to fight reportters!!! No one would have known about Obama's teenage life if he wouldn't have mentioned in his book. The Clintons are very petty with their kitchen politics.

Forget the Clintons and the Bushs families switching White House as if they're the only ones can save American people. we need some young energetic blood with fresh breath and more informed with current politics especially foreign policies to tackle the International tests the country is facing now. we're paying almost $4/gallon for gas coz our relationship with Middle East sucks!

Obama is a very well informed candidate with new ideas that will bring CHANGE. Not Clintons who got African Americans brainwashed with stupid moves they made in their White House days. Hiring a black personal secretary in White house, building offices in Harlem and attending NAACP awards doesnt mean anything to smart black people. No wonder they're stuck with old uneducated voters still supporting them while young or educated, learned and informed African Americans are for Obama thus CHANGE

Obama should have to follow the rules just like the other candidates. If he was told not to run the ads then they should be taken off the air. Also the judge allowing all the polling places in the casinos is just plain wrong. The rest of us had to caucus at the appointed place in our precinct. What makes him so special??? I really do believe everyone is afraid of him because he is black and they'll have Sharpton, Jackson, and the rest of that rowdy, mouthy bunch on their tails. This campaign has gotten so out of hand and when Clinton or Edwards say anything they get crucified but when Obama gets derogatory its o.k. Double standards in this election. The Republicans can just sit back and know that they will win because of the crap thats going on and even a 2 year old could beat Obama.

If the Clinton camp or the Edwards camp thought there was a 'truce' from the Obama camp, if they believed there was a shred of integrity, or that ethics and principles mattered, they may have to think again.

This is turning into a dirty fight and typical of most recent campaigns for the top job.

Given that Obama tries to run under the impression he is the coalition builder, it seems odd that his campaign has a sharp focus on division.

I don't think it is as deliberate as some would have us believe. Obama is lacking in experience and does not seem to realize that the rifts his campaign promotes could be deep wounds that the party will find difficult to heal. His inexperience could also allow others to get in a position to manipulate the campaign to suit their own interests.

Barack Obama is a hypocrit! The American public is smart enough to see through this. Shame on you Obama....and I almost supported you. Go Hillary!!!

It was a matter of time befoer Obama used his race to gain votes, he has lost my vote.

It is clear to see which blog posts are by Republicans posing as Democrats--–that's always been their stragedy: hate-mongering. Spewing hate towards one Democratic candidate or another. Go blog on your own CNN GOP stories, Republicans-–or don't you have anybody you want to support on the GOP side?

Calling Hillary shameless is certainly not like trying to deny thousands of voters the right to vote. Afterall, how many teachers are working on Saturday night anyway? And why didn't the teacher's union bring this up when the plans were drawn up a year ago. Three of the plaintiffs were on the approval committee - (and Clinton donors). Check on factcheck website. I would hazard a guess that it was because Clinton was assumed to be the favorite by 20+ points.

Not condeming an ad that is probably rude at best is certainly not the same as not condeming disenfranchisement.

I sort of wish Obama would be negative on Hillary. She gets away with saying she has all this experience, when in fact she has less elected office experience than he and no executive experience. I don't know why it is so bad to say that being first lady of Arkansa or the US is not a qualification for president (which is a good portion of the famed '35' years remark).

I was never against Hillary, but watching this primary has reduced President Clinton to a politician for me and Hillary into a wannabe. So, as a woman, as a daughter of immigrants - Go Obama –

I'm impressed with the civil tone of Sen Obama, but I'm voting for the candidate who stands with the people and so refuses funding from defense contractors: Kucinich. In my opinion, any other is a betrayal of all those who have given their lives for freedom, many of whom are my frinds and relations. Sure, competing for media attention requires selling out, but that's a lose-lose approach – there's no point in electing another corportate shill. Come on folks, the lesser of two evils is still evil.

look, say what you like, as that is your right. Answer this question. Why was there no court challenge by ANYONE when the rules were put out? it seems very reasonable to say the clintons had a lot to do with the lawsuit, even if its not in their name. The teachers union that is bringing the lawsuit is a hilary supporter. THE TIMING SAYS IT ALL!!!! BRING THE LAWSUIT AFTER THE CULINARY UNION BACKS OBAMA. Do i need a PHD to figure that one out?

As an NPA , I will vote Republican. I do not trust Hillary…She wants power her and Bill are obsessed for power. If she is nominated as president of our country. She will divide the country because she will carry the effect of racism obtaining from her campaign. Her strategies for power are cheap and low. She has no class. I am ashamed before the world to have a candidate like Hillary Clinton running for president in my country. She will cause America to continue to collapse before the world. Already, the American dollar is lower than the Canadian dollar. I remembered couple years ago …I went to Canada and the people in Canada were begging for the American dollar. America has became a thrift store.

Thanks!

Obama is delusional, is he high or what? He is living in unreal world right now, he really thinks he can do everything? What he will become if he will be president? A dictator? What, who is giving him ideas of this nasty ways? How is he going to treat people if would win (oh, God, please, no)? He really wants to win no matter what, no scruples on his side... this is outrageous. No shame on his side. This country is free, but there must be laws, limitations. Without them anarchy comes, totalitarian regime where is no freedom at all.
Go Hillary!

Obama is gaining ground! THANK GOD! I am so sick of seeing Hilary Clinton on TV. She is a vindictive and haggard woman. We need someone new, fresh, and one who provides hope for a better economy and better America - the only man who can do this is BARACK OBAMA.

GO OBAMA/EDWARDS 2008!!!!

why would anyone vote for hillary clinton? she is as crooked as her husband. who i voted for twice, but felt he should be impeached. look, hillary is as big a liar as her husband-that is why they are still married. i would like a woman to be president as much as anyone, just not her. i would vote for nancy pelosi in a heartbeat. what is up with the Hillary supportes? Why are they so whiney? and stop thinking Bill Clinton is going to be running things while his wife is president.

Obama is for Hope and Change, Give me a BREAK!! GO HILLARY!!

Ok I must be blind, I did not read anywhere that these radio spots were paid by OBAMA. Its the union speaking up for themselves, everyone gets all worried when minorities start to speak up for themselves.

ITS THEIR VOICES AND THEIR CHOICES TO BE HEARD!

Go HIllary!! Lets face people are voting for Oprah not Obama and since she is GOD Clinton and Edwards will suffer. Obama sucks people.

How can any of you Hillary supporters be upset that you weren't able to successfully disenfranchise a huge block of voters? Is this what Hillary's campaign has come to? I urge you all to get behind Obama, soon. Hillary is going downhill fast.

Between Bill fighting with the media O'Reilly style and this BS Hillary tried to pull off, I have lost all respect I once had for the honorable Clintons.

Stand up for change Nevada! Get out and show Hillary that her attempts to quiet the voices of the Latino population will not go unpunished!

If it was fairness, all working people would have a chance to vote on Saturday not only the casino workers. Obama and his campaign are instigators to hate among Democrats. How can this guy talk about being a uniter and so many idiots can believe him?

Oh, please. The suit was brought because the at-large caucases essentially re-district Nevada and gives the culinary workers on the stip a more powerful caucus voice.

Is it just me or would anyone else feel a bit better about Mr. Obama if he admitted this? Or if he ever, just once, pointed out that "hey, I totally opposed the war back when Senators Clinton and Edwards voted 'yea' but I didn't vote 'nay' BECAUSE I COULDN'T VOTE! God help us if the United States Senators and Representatives did not have more intell to consider than Joe Blow! And no, I am not referencing your coke use so don't start whining again.

I am so sick of bogus arguments and moot points being belabored by the Obama campaign. Does he think we are stupid? Or not listening?

Please, come November...and hurry. But hey, no one is going to lock me up for getting on the soapbox. What a great country. We are fortunate.

But I agree with Senator Clinton. We have great opportunities but we have to reverse the trends.

Hillary Clinton all the way!

Obama08!

Watch Obama try and distance himself from this. Then you will see what he is all about. He is dishonest and he plays dirty - he just does it with a "who-me?" face. Shame on him for showing Latinos so much disrespect. He is counting on a lack of information on their part and the strategy is transparent. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter that I can see this. What matters is that the people he is trying to manipulate see through it. I can't believe that people actual think that this underhanded politician and his sarcastic wife can represent America to the world. Change? Only for the worse.

John Kerry told Obama's supporters that Obama will not perfect the campaign of swift-boating, he will end it.I think he meant the opposite,I think it's time for Kerry to say : "I was for Obama before i was against him".
America cannot afford Obama in this troubled time.

Obama should be ashamed for being supported by people who do not support Hillary and decide to make it public! Someone as low as this should not be president because he plays hardball!

....

That's really all I'm hearing.

USA,USA... Hillary

Dirty Dirty Obama!!!

Clinton 08!!!

1.) If Clinton filed the orders for the lawsuit THEN we can say that the Clinton's were pushing and backing this case. Since she didn't we can’t ASSUME that she has anything to do with it!

2.) What is wrong with the supporters of ANYONE fighting to make sure that the person they are supporting is given a fair chance of winning?

3.) I am still an undecided voter, and personally to me, I think the lawsuit has good substance. Why out of the millions of voters in Nevada, should just a privileged 9 locations be allowed to hold caucuses at work? What about police officers, 911 operators, jail guards, etc. that work a 2nd shift and are unable to make it to their local caucus? If they are not allowed they why should anyone be allowed to vote that are not able to make it to their local caucus?

4.) Resolution? GET RID OF THE ANCIENT CAUCUS AND VOTE LIKE THE REST OF THE 21ST CENTURY! That way everyone who wants to vote can vote, and you know EXACTLY how that state feels!

This is a good example of what is wrong with politics in this country. I have no doubt that someone within the Clinton campaign suggested or supported the lawsuit, just like I have no doubt that the Obama campaign had something to do with getting the group to do the radio ads.

In 1995, Barack Obama sued Illinois over its voter registration rolls on behalf of the radical group ACORN, and he now rails against the Clintons attempts to shut down Nevada caucus sites and photo ID laws.

The vast majority of the people heading to the Strip caucuses will be the underlings of the Culinary - dishwashers, hotel room maids, cooks, etc. - who are the least paid, and most vulnerable to intimidation. And the Culinary leadership has always used them to organize other hotels and vote for their choices.

The Culinary has full time paid organizers bringing in its masses of members working the low-paying jobs, who will HAVE to raise their hands at the caucus sites for Obama, under the watchful (and threatening) eyes of the Culinary organizers.

I hope those Strip caucus sites receive a lot of media attention because the Culinary's tactics there will resemble something out of the old Soviet Union, when people casting ballots in boxes under the eyes of Communist Party operatives had to use a special-colored ballot for the Communist Party leader, and another type of ballot to vote against him, making it obvious whom that voter was for.

It seems obvious that intimidation will be a factor in the voting process at these precincts. Voters who wish to support a candidate will have to do so in front of the watchful eyes of their union reps. These people can then either dismiss or help them with, an harassment claim, a grievance, forced overtime, unpaid labor, or dangerous working conditions etc. etc.

Democratic leaders insist workers need only show an employee badge. If they don't have one, a party spokeswoman lamely says "we'll somehow accommodate them, hence many illegal immigrants will be voting.

Many of these immigrant workers are also new citizens and have come from countries where voter intimidation is the norm. So, for them, it would also be expected. If they want to support Clinton or Edwards they will just not go, if they even feel they are able to do that and not place their jobs at risk.

People should not be caucusing where they work, unless they have secret ballots, again a central tenet of democracy. It is too open to intimidation. There is too much pressure to vote the way the boss or the union wants you to vote.

I don't think anyone can pretend these polling places would be neutral or unintimidating for those who want to support Clinton or Edwards. Plus many other groups/unions don't get this preferential treatment of setting up special caucus' for a special group, thus others are disenfranchised.

The Culinary Union should have remained neutral, but they knew all along that they would endorse Obama and made it public days before the caucus. Good for Obama.

They should be shut down. We should only have Primary ballot votes on elections.

So much for the great uniter-it now proves he is exactly like the rest of them. The American people will lose out again-nothing ever changes.

I see a lot of 'dumb' persons blogging here...when the Clinton's make remarks/comments, nobody raises an eyebrow...when Obama's camp reacts..they say he's 'abomination'...I'm thinking only few Americans are really smart these days...Obama is definitely the right candidate to steer the country into the right direction...ads or no ads...attacks or no attacks!

The truth hurt. God hate ugly. And what the Clintons tried to was very underhanded. You can't change the rules two week after the Clinton Union supporters agreed 10 months ago. I curious: Do most teachers work on Saturdays? Go figure.

Throwing cheap jabs at OBAMA wouldn't help anything. But rather, go out and vote for the candidate that best represents the ideals and promise of a united, strong and safe America. Your vote is your voice. Dare to speak out truthfully and courageously in this presidential election and use your best judgement regardless of the many endorsements candidates are piling up. An endorsement definitely does not have the connotation of compulsion to vote for any of the candidates, but rather, is an expression of individual or collection opinion of a group or organization in favor of the candidate of their choice – not yours. Your vote is your endorsement and that is what truly matters and definitely will effect the desired change.

Obama is just showing that he will not draw the first blood, but if you bring the battle to him he will destroy you with kindness and just pure humble intelligence.

Thomas-Reno, Nevada

You think that Hillary is dividing the Democrats by denying them their right to vote-–that is ABSURD. Hillary is NOT DENYING THEM THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE, just trying to deny them the right to vote IN THEIR OWN WORKPLACE-–no one ELSE was allowed to vote in their workplaces........we could say that people were DENIED their right to vote in their WORKPLACE now that the others are ALLOWED TO. GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT and tell the whole story--no one is DENYING ANYONE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. Get real.

hilary is really cold and fake she will say/do anything to get the vote!! and if she wins she wont remember all the people she used to get to the top. Obama has lived the life that most americans live today he might not have the expirience in the white house but he has the expirience of real life so im pretty sure he can feel for the latinos at least more than hilary can
~*~ peace love and unity mwah~*~

Edited for spelling error:

America is ready for a statesman as president.

Obama '08

American is ready for a statesman as president.

Obama '08

Dirty, dirty Mr. Obama! What's wrong with you and your followers?

Obama..I'm sure is behind this. He's been playing you guys. he's just like all other politician's.

Clinton's lawsuit – it's def with her backing and her husband's public support – was over the line of nasty in my opinion. Obama and Edwards have issues, but I'll def vote for either if they are the nominee. But I don't know that I could stomach voting for her after that – it's just so vile. If she's the democratic nominee, I may just not vote in a presidential election for the first time.

The Clintons didn't want the students to come back to vote in Iowa and now they tried to stop the casino workers from caucusing. I thought they were for everyone getting to participate in the democratic process. Or is that if they only support Hillary?

The Clintons are tearing the party apart with their lust for the white house. They were there for 8 years. That's enough. Now it's time to turn the page for Obama.

Nevada citizens,
Please don't vote for Obama. He is divisive and devious. He has no skills to bring people together as he has divided the Democrats.
Vote for Hillary or Edwards. My preference is Hillary.

You guys have got to be kidding me. As much negativity that has come from the Clinton Camp and her supporters about Senator Obama, she should be the last person to complain about being attack. As far as John Edwards goes, he just doesn't want to be forgotten which he already is. He is not a factor so he will take shots at both Hillary and Obama just to get exposure. Bottom line, "Obama for President". Say it loud!

Once again, dirty politics that the candidate (Obama) claims he knows nothing about. WAKE UP people, this guy is not what he is making himself out to be. I would be VERY cautious on what you believe coming from his mouth. A good smoozer, a good talker...PLEASE, that does not make a President !!

Ah ha, once again the champion of hopes is showing us what it means to run a campaign that uplifts instead of puts down, a positive instead of negative campaign...Who is being the sheep here? If Hillary had put up such an ad against Obama, no doubt there would be all kinds of protest.
The word hypocrite is coming to my mind. Aren't Obama's supporters the ones who claimed he was running a clean campaign? What do you think now? Didn't the man himself claim that he would not play dirty? I have no problem with him behaving like a politician...if he didn't claim that he wasn't really one because he wants to change the system.

BOO HOO!!

HILLARY CANT TAKE WHAT SHE DISHES OUT ON OBAMA..

THE REAL SHAME ISNT OBAMA, ITS HILLARY USING REPUBLICAN TACTICS TO TRY TO STOP MINORITIES FROM VOTING...JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT HILLARY IS IN IT FOR HERSELF, NOT FOR THE PEOPLE.....

AND THATS WHY THIS MEXICAN IS VOTING FOR OBAMA!!

I was a Clinton supporter that was campangning in my neigbourhood for her, but that was before she showed how low she would go to get elected, as a white woman, I am glad someone is standing up to Hillary, because she is dissappointing us women. She had all the opportunities to win nationally, then she panicked and started slicing Obama at every turn like any other politician, – no class.I would rather vote Obama for the hope he gives of a new Washington, and not politics as usual.

oh bob gostworth, such a clever little play on words you came up with. maybe you should fill in for the writers who are on strike. you could take SNL to a whole new level.

meanwhile, in the real world, how about we focus on the facts. jon edwards did the very thing he is now condemning on a much bigger level. his campaign is going under. desperate times call for desperate measures. simple as that. he's attacked hillary before, so it's no surprise he's going after obama. also, hillary's supporters pulled a shameless trick with that lawsuit...in fact it's almost brilliant because it's so obvious and yet no one is taking her to task for it. i really hope that voters aren't blind to these dirty tricks on the part of clinton and edwards.

Why is it the Clinton's can say, misstate and send out false fliers, but when Obama states the facts this is getting nasty? GIVE ME A BREAK! To quote Mr. Clinton "this is the biggest fairytale," the fairytale being that the Clintons are delusional if they think no one is going to call them on their BS.

Obama is a divider, not a uniter.

Thomas from Reno....so what your saying is that Hillary submitted that lawsuit...here I thought it was the Teachers Union!

As for the spoonful...what do you think any politician on either side is doing...even Obama?

He says he wants HOPE and CHANGE IN POLITICS...but allows these low down tactics to be used in his name!!

EVEN HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS APOLOGIZE WHEN THEY ARE WRONG....SO WHO IS REALLY BRINGING THE HOPE AND CHANGE IN POLITICS!?

For the past few weeks, I sat by and watched how much the Clintons are SORE LOSERS! Like Senator Obama said a couple of weeks ago, when he was down in the polls, Mrs. Clinton had absolutely NOTHING to say about him! But when he gave Mrs. Clinton a literal TROUNCING in Iowa, and lost marginally in New Hampshire, SHE is the one launching the attacks. It absolutely boggles my mind to read some of these comments and see how people tip the scales and actually bring themselves to say that Obama is starting these ATTACK ads. You have absolutely got to be kidding me! Since when is defending yourself running a negative campaign. What I see from some of these comments are people who obviously will find anything wrong with the BLACK guy to have an excuse NOT to support him. I want to hear real reasons you don't support Obama other than the bogus claim of him running a negative (i call it defensive) campaign. Mr. Obama tried to take the high road in New Hampshire, and all it got him was a loss. He as well as his campaign advisors realized that standing by and doing nothing to defend themselves will only result in LOSING!!! But once again, even that is backfiring on his campaign because now impartial individuals are now saying HE is launching the negative campaign. On top of all of this, the former President Mr. Clinton is taking it worse than Hillary. You can tell a campaign is desperate when they allow major fundraisers and contributors of their campaign resort to alluding to Mr. Obama's past activities that he engaged in when he wasn't even a consenting adult!!! All I see are a bunch of hypocrites, because I bet more than half the people who criticize his past could never run for President for fear of their own skeletons coming out of the closet.

I'm latino, US, citizen, registed to vote, convince me why should I vote for Obama?

His poetic language will not support my family, I'm a union member, I'll caucus for HIllary.

Obama was endorsed by Culinary Union, Hillary Clinton was endorsed by the BROTHER of CHAVEZ. Which one carries MORE weight if you're Latino, the brother of Chavez who stand up for all of us or Culinary Union?

Wouldn't it be nice if the Obama folk got their "facts" straight before sounding off?
Sanndra

NO WAY HELLARY!!

Yikes, sounds like the bama camp is getting desperate!

There goes that ole Chicago politics again. Obama supporters blinded by his smile and false promises. Enjoy yourselves. Make sure to get his good side.

Hillary Clinton has proven time and time again to be able to come through on her promise to help middle-class Latino and African-American families. Obama will look to hire someone to do this, and check every now and then to see if they are doing what they are supposed to. This is not the Lottery, people!

We don't need that kind of leadership in the White House again. There already is a guy like that in there – Bush, and the American people were dassled by his "average guy" persona. What our "short-attention span" society failed to remember is he still had to understand how to do the job – which he didn't, and allowed an extemist faction – Neocons, to create the current mess this country is in right now.
There is no time to be in admiration of an individual, it is time to pick the toughest, no-nonsense, hold-you-accountable, President we can find. And if she happens to be a lady, BIG DEAL. Get over it.
Hillary Rodham Clinton will get my vote. The media and the Republicans can continue to attack her, and Obama's Chicago crew can continue to attack her. I WILL STILL VOTE FOR HER, NO MATTER WHAT. Because Hillary Clinton is the most qualified choice out there. Period.

He who inspires is just as dirty and slimy as those he criticizes. Obama and his campaign are utter hypocrites. And I am a Democrat.

SO WHERE IS THE POLITICS OF CHANGE?????

LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME, SAY ANYTHING TO GET ME ELECTED STUFF ALL OTHER POLITICIANS USE!!!

99% of the comments here make me laugh.

people who are mad at obama: get over it, the clinton machine is so nasty, they are just pissed they didnt think of this first. maybe no one who has posted here is old enough to remember what mr. bill clinton pulled to become president.

people who think edwards can win: thats so funny im not even sure what to say. if edwards even got close to the nomination, would the republicans start playing tapes of him channeling a 6 year old dead girls now or after he receives the nomination? this guy is a total joke and has zero chance. just accept it and move on.

people who think obama divides the party: your kidding right? all the dems are running on uniting, not dividing the country. how in the hell does hillary clinton have any chance of uniting. sometimes people need to accept that they are disliked, for WHATEVER reasons, true or fale and need to move on. the clinton era needs to end, just like the bush era, for the good of the country. if you think its a joke that many democrats will vote mccain because they dont want hillary, you are kidding yourselves. she is UNELECTABLE!!!!!

in conclusion: open your eyes everyone. sure, no candidate is perfect, but which candidate is real? is hillary real? with her changing image every other day and trying to appeal to younger voters when she is obviously out of touch? is the trial lawyer edwards real, with his $400 haircut and his channeling of a dead 6 year old girl in a closing statement in court? if you see nothing else in obama, see how dam smart the guy is, he can run circles around everyone else.

thats what im voting for, intelligence.

I live in the South–what used to be textile heaven. We lost a LOT of jobs because of NAFTA. I am still waiting for someone to realize Bill Clinton did not do us any favors. It often takes time for policies to work their way through the system. By the time Clinton was out of office, we were out of a job.... and our health insurance... and our ability to add to our 401(K). I bet we will not hear Hill mention a word of this when she brags about how great things were during the Clinton reign.

Also, the fact that more men and women have died from this wack war than were killed on 9-11–not to mention the tens of thousands who returned home with severe injuries–and she still refuses to take responsibility for her vote disgusts me. I should say her votes. There was a bill sponsored by Sen. Levin which would required Bush to come back to congress if he wanted to escalate to war. That one? She voted against.

I have no idea, with this terrible track record on important votes on the war and economy (because she also voted for a bill that would make it harder for folks to file for bankruptcy) she thinks she will be ready day one. In my opinion, anyone not willing to take responsibility for a war they voted for is automatically unfit to be Commander in Chief.

Actually Paying Attention hit it right on. The same people who praise Hillary for everything will put the blame for this on Obama. Let's face it, both camps have their die hards who will not waiver.

I think you should read the article again: "The buy is allegedly being funded by the Unite Here Campaign Committee on behalf of the Culinary Workers Union"

I don't think that says Obama's campaign is paying for it. But what do I know, I'm just a simple mind who can read english.

Clinton is horrible... sore loser. "Aww i'm losing in the polls let me pout about it to get some support". Shes always acting. Obama gets laughs at the debate, Hillary tries to be comedian on a plane. She'll pull whatever it takes including trying to take voting privileges to keep this country on the route its going. Shes stopping us from seeing hope for a respected United States again.

DEMOCRATS, JUST A REMAINDER. SELECTING THE CLINTONS AS THE RUNNING MATES WILL VANISH YOUR HOPES FOR THE WINNING TICKET.
REMEMBER, IN FLORIDA THE CUBAN COMMUNITY WONT VOTE FOR THE CLAN.
NEITHER THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA, PA, NJ, NY.

I THINK SHE GOT HER CHANCE TO DO WHAT GOD DEMAND HER TO DO. SHE DID NOTHING BUT ENJOY A PRETTY NICE LIVING IN THE W.HOUSE. IT IS TIME FOR THE WORLD TO GET TOGETHER AND DECLARE PEACE AND HOPE TO ALL CITIZENS AROUND THE WORLD.
SHE DID NOT THOUGHT ABOUT US WHEN SHE WAS IN POWER, NOW SHE WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT SHE IS WILLING TO DIE FOR THE POOR AND THE MIDDLE CLASS. NO WAY HILLARON!!!!!!!

It's funny that the same campaign that distributes diffamatory fliers about a trillion dollar tax increase by Obama has the nerve to accuse him (yet again) because some workers are standing up for their right to vote. The Clintons are a disgrace and have always been.

What exactly is wrong with letting spanish speaking people know what the Clinton supporters in the Teachers Union tried to do?
Remember, The Clinton's had their chance to disavow the suit but defended it. So I don't see anything slanderous or out of bounds in it.

You guys want the truth? Can you handle the truth?
It's the chickens coming home to roost.

Anyone but Obama

Hillary is being taken to task

Why prevent a Vote. ????

Go Obama! They have been hitting you over and over and you've been gracious and a perfect gentleman. I don't believe this came directly from you but rather from your supporters and why should you denounce it??? IT"S THE TRUTH!!! Everyone knows it the truth. The Clintons tried to play dirty with this lawsuit ....they LOST the suit and now they are crying about these ads??? Yes, that takes some Chutzpah! If that union had endorsed Clinton there would have been NO SUCH LAWSUIT and anyone with an ounce of sense knows this is the case. Are we supposed to believe they had no knowledge of the lawsuit??? Who is going to believe Bill or Hillary??? Bill is a CERTIFIED Liar and EVERYONE knows that!

Neither Bill or Hillary denounced what Bob Johnson or Charles Rangel-even what Cuomo said about Obama! They just sat there! They want Obama to denounce an ad paid for by a third party group???? That is TRUE????

He and Hillary would do and WILL do anything to get into the White House! ANYTHING and people are seeing right through them. It's time minorities woke up and stopped giving their votes away to the Clintons!!!!! I'm so happy to see this day! Hispanics and Blacks don't owe them anything. They think they have a right to the Black and Hispanic vote but they are going to see the light very soon!!!

First of all, the issue of "at large" caucus locations ISN'T fair to everyone in Nevada. I live in Las Vegas. No one else is being catered to, so why make a special effort to the Strip workers? That simply isn't fair.

Second, Hillary DID NOT bring the lawsuit. Nor did her campaign. It's easy to see, now that the Culinary union endorsed Obama, that she might have been involved, but she WASN'T. So let it go.

Third, for Obama to run this slanderous ad is way beneath him and the ideals he puts forth. It speaks poorly for him and his campaign. It's not making him look good.

No one believes Hillary Clinton wants to disenfranchise any voters. It's simply not true.

AHMIowa,
JE and HRC are both fakes. They had no problem with interest groups running ads in their favors in IA. Did they? or Were you under a rock then?

What Hillary and her supporters were trying to do in Las Vegas was wrong. This ad is just pointing out the truth. Hillary is just getting whiny because someone else is beating her at her own game.

OBAMA in 2008!

So race isn't an issue?The Latino vote from Nevada is totally irrelevant,as almost ALL of the voters are here illegally.I am leaning towards Huckabee,because he understands the only way to preserve the Union,is to deport EVERY illegal no matter where their country of origion is.Take back America,or welcome to the Third World.This is not even a joke!!

Angry Blk Guy from VA your are not an Angry Blk Guy from VA you are a STUPID BLACK MAN from VA – what did the Clintons personally do for you when they were in office – You still had to fight the driving while black issue – But whatever you are the ones constantly marring ugly fat white women so why would you not support that ugly white women – do they make you feel better when you look in the mirror or make you feel like a BIG man – Get a life and research the issues – even though Barack is helping you by initiating his bill regarding racial profiling but you are not willing to support him –

Your are indeed STUPID -

Obama all the way. Vote Obama 08.

I have been a pretty strong and consistent Dem supporter so far, but if Obama wins the Primary, I am going to go and volunteer for whoever is the Republican candidate. Obama is such an Hypocrite. He says no negative attacks and then starts attacking Hillary with everything (starting with the Punjab connection a few months ago, to Lyndon Johnson flap few days ago, to this despicable ad now). I just hope that he would never be our nominee...

John Edwards should use his response in Iowa to respond to his own attack.

Hillary Clinto should feel how it felt to be Obama in NH, after she sent out all those mailers attacking Obama and distorting his record.

Get a life guys. Finally, someone speaks up for Obama after the desperate and BS moves Hillary has been making for 2 weeks now.
Did you guys realize that the Clintons supported the lawsuit trying to change the voting rules for this Saturday's election. Once they found out that the Culinary union was going for Obama, her comes Hillary's surrogates to the dirty work. Are you guys KIDDING me?

First of all, would all of you people guaranteeing defeat for either of the front-runners just stop? You do not know who will win the election, and if you go and read the comments to articles about the Republicans, they're all sure there's not a soul in that race who can beat either Hillary or Obama. So enough of the catastrophizing.

About this particular issue–I agree that Obama should ask the UNITE HERE union to stop the Spanish language ads now that the case is over, but I don't think he has to, and I certainly don't think anyone can have too much complaint over the message of the ads.

What's dirtier, really? Using unions connected to your campaign to try to keep large numbers of citizens from caucusing, or using a union connected to your campaign to point that out. There is absolutely no question that this was the precise and undiluted purpose of the legal challenge to the at-large caucuses. If it was not, the teacher's unions would have filed the suit before UNITE HERE's endorsement of Obama.

Instead, the suit was filed two days after the endorsement. It is a naked attempt to keep these likely Obama-voters out of the process. That is, in my book, dirty and undemocratic (and unDemocratic, I'd like to think). Why is it dirty for UNITE HERE to point it out?

Daniel,
Lay off whatever is clouding your judgment.Hillary is the Queen of Mean.Are you kidding.It's just dysfunctional for such an educated people to be rooting for someone stuck in the past like Hillary.We need to look forward.

This is Obama the so-called uniter? Shame on you, Barack.

This latest weasel move in Nevada is just another example of why Hillary Clinton is just not likable. The Clinton campain is forgetting that all elections are popularity contests, similar to running for Class President. In New Hampshire Hillary found a way to become likable, she hasn't in Nevada, Obama will take the State.

To Laura: I believe you're wrong about Obama not being able to win in the general election. Look at polls from all over the place (specifically Rasmussen) that show, when put against a republican, Obama wins every time. It's the republicans who really need to worry about winning against ANY democrat (maybe less so Hillary because she's so divisive).

Dems will lose the presidential election because of junk like this. They keep slinging mud at eachother in hopes of being top dog at the end of this race. Unfortunately, the mud (and the backlash) will stick through November. Just pray it's not going to be a rightwing Christian nutjob in the whitehouse.

This ad in question is from an independent source. A group who has understandably taken offence to the Clintons’ attempt to mute its position. This ad demonstrably is autonomous of Sen Obama and his campaign unlike the situation in Iowa where the ads were linked to the Edward’s campaign.

All parties were aware of the logistics of the Nevada caucus more than 10 months prior. However, these logistics only became problematic or inequitable when Sen Obama (as opposed to another candidate) got the nod from the Culinary union. Let’s not lose sight of what’s really at issue here.

DG

Obama as an agent of change gets his supporters to do a Chicago Style political hit and run on Hillary Clinton. The only thing Obama is looking to change is going from being a first-time Senator to President. Obama accepts the endorsements of Kerry and other Washington insiders and somehow he is the agent of change. Anyone who thinks Obama does not now owe the people he takes their endorsement from or the Culinary Union are deluding themselves. Obama talks a great game but he practices a very different one. Obama needs to speak up about this ad and condemn it not only to the press but specifically to the audience of this station in their language or he looses any credibility as a candidate for change.

Given the way Obama has run his campaign recently, there isn't enough money on earth to make me vote for him. Ever.

people, use your brains. ALL the candidates knew the rules 10 months ago, and no one complained. NOW THAT THE CULINARY WORKERS UNION BACKS OBAMA, THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO COURT TO STOP THE UNION VOTE FOR OBAMA. Is this democratic? is this respect for the working class that hilary is supposed to represent? DONT BE FOOLED BY THE CLINTONS, WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

I've been a democrat leaning independent throughout my life, but I will NEVER vote for Hillary. Hillary is one of the most disingenuous duplicitous individuals around. She is a true hypocrite and feels entitled to the presidency ... What has she actually accomplished during her career. We would have some type of health care in this country if she were willing to compromise back in the 90s. With Hillary it’s her way or no way... politics as usual that’s what you will get. Hillary was for the war, supported it and Bush right after we invaded... and she did that for political reasons not because of conscience (which she doesn't have one by the way). I’m very surprised that any person with an intellect is taken in by her phony exterior. Admittedly all politicians are somewhat plastic, but come on…. she is the worst of the worst. If she is so experienced and so involved in foreign affairs, then please explain to me, why she did NOT have a national security clearance during her time associated with the White House. What are her major accomplishments she so readily says she has.. What major legislation has she passed through Congress that affects your life today…She is nothing more than Dick Cheney in drag….

I COMPLETELY agree!

I wonder if Hillary and Bill would have sued if the Union endorsed her?? I sincerely DOUBT it.

A lawsuit of convenience to block those to want to vote from doing so. She should be ASHAMED of herself.

ABC!!! Anybody but Clinton!!!

edwards did not help defeat the republications in 2004 . hillary will not defeat the republications in 2008. we need change in this country and there is only 1 person who can bring about change and that is barack obama.

how low can you go? Obama, nothing better the scum. Wake up America. What has this man done? WHAT? Someone tell me something he has done for our Country?

This is pathetic, Obama. In your little truce, you'd promise to shut your supporters up if they were to step across the line. Way to shut them up, Obama.

I'd recommend Clinton to capitalize on this ad, but the moment she brings this to national attention, the Hillary-haters will be all over her for being a 'negative' campaigner.

Man, Obama, you are pathetic, though.

Re: Kevin from Nevada

"Its really embarrasing that Obama continue his dirty campaign against Hillary"

Please! Every heated and inappropriate argument started since the onset of this campaign has been due to the outright desperation of "the Clintons.'"
Obviously, the Clinton camp realizes that voters can see they're running a mudslinging, Bush-esque race, or else they wouldn't be yelling at reporters when asked simple questions.

that's it... time for mccain...

At the start of the campaigns, I wanted a Clinton or Obama presidency. I hope it does not become a republican presidency. If the republicans give me Huckabee, watch out democrats, you will need both Clinton and Obama to get my vote.

the clintons should have rejected the law suit. instead, bill pulled the same slick tactic: "we didn't file thye suit". they deserve every bit of insult over this one, and many other things they have done. i guess, after all, they are not as smart as they claim to be.

Good.

No one threw a fit when that third party for Edwards did it. No one threw a fit when Hillary does it. Oh, but some third party group for Obama does it and ....."Whaaaaaaaaa!"

Well, that's what you get.

obama nation?

yes, he's an abomination alright.

CLINTON AND OBAMA ARE BOTH VIYING FOR THE HISPANIC VOTE,. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD BE AGAINST HILLARY. EDWARDS IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO BELIEVES ILLEGALS SHOULD EARN THEIR CITIZEN SHIP AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE; SO I UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD UPSET HIM..

Dividing Dems? Hillary tried to deny 200,000 voters their right! You Hillary supporters are absurd. As for teh negative campaigns, Hillary has always been the first to draw blood, yet you sheep love the spoon fed politics she feeds you. Wake up and learn how to think freely. Do some research before you faithfully follow the butcher to the slaughterhouse.

I thought Obama was this angel with set of wings and a halo above his head:)
I guess NOT he is just like anyone in politics.

Go Obama! what America is saying to Clinton supporters, either you are arrogant or ignorant or both (like the Judge told OJ about his slickery). 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!

TO: JD WI

LOL, LOL LOL...I can hardly contain myself over your comment...wait, wait, just a minute while I try and compose myself.

YOU stated that the "Clinton's are trying to stay above the fray???" (One moment, please...another fit of laughter). LOL LOL LOL

Ok...I'm back! Your beloved Clintons are...THE ARCHITECTS OF DIRTY, SLIMEY, BACK ROOM POLITICS!!!! During this campaign season, they've made Karl Rove appear ALMOST saintlym, by comparison, and that's saying a lot!!!!

I like how the same people who stick up for Hillary saying she had nothing to do with the lawsuit against the caucus sites are the same ones assuming that these ads are sponsored by Obama's campaign.

Hmmmm........

Memo to Hillary: You can't change the rules in the ninth inning, after you agreed to them and hoped they would allow YOU to win. I'm glad you are finally being exposed.

KEEP THE ADS COMING.

I'm loving it !!! now i know this guy has a substance to scare a hell out of hillary as well as hard liner republicans, GO OBAMA GO!!!!!

All you Clinton lovers... Lets see if you are remembered by them after all is said and done. Can't Hillary pull her weight in a dignified way by being the former first lady. She and her husband will be respected and wont have to go through all this in the name of power... Al Gore is globally respected and that would have changed if he decided to run.
Now she has to act and cry and change her tone from I am in it to win to I can bring change which she never thought of initially. America... smell the coffee

Obama did indicate that he knew how to play "smack down" Chicago style politics and he did attack independent ads by unions in Iowa. Sounds like the Obama campaign is using these union workers shamelessly. Can you imagine these workers, many of them Latinos standing up in front of their union bosses and voting for anyone but Obama? Give me a break.

We need a national primary.

Obama didn't make the ad. This demonstrates the Clinton supporter's ability to think before voicing themselves quite well.
Kucinich/Obama 08!!!

Ummm, HELLO?! Who cares?

As a poor 19-year old student, I'm way more concerned about the economy and

why it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to get a decent student loan than

the candidates' reactions to an ad that will most likely be pulled by tomorrow.

When will the candidates issue responses to all the important issues and

questions that arise?

HILLARY'S GETTING A DOSE OF HER OWN MEDICINE!

I am an independent who leans towards the republicans but i am really enjoying the democratic race. to be fair, clinton started this whole race thing to turn the whites against obama and obama would have done well to ignore her. i am a black man but the fact is there are more white people than black people and if people vote only on the basis of race than a black person would never lead this country. clinton understands that and that's why she started this thing. about the ads, clinton wanted to start a so called black-brown problem during the recent MSNBC debate and i'm glad she failed again.

Finally someone is calling Clinton out to the the people who tried to block from voting. Hillary's own dirty campign tactics have backfired on her. She tried to change the game in the 9th inning after she wasn't winning!!

This is why I have trouble committing to Obama... He's not above the same dirty tricks that Hillary uses in her campaign. Yet all the flack is falling on Clinton whenever she so much as says one wrong word, while Obama washes his hands clean. Perhaps Obama now should go and apologize to the Clintons for this ad, just like his campaign wanted Bob Johnson to apologize for his remarks, and resume positive campaigning... Now that would make him the bigger man...

The television ad is absolutely fair and true. Clinton did not object, and, in fact, supported the lawsuit filed by the teachers union. The rules were not a problem until Obama gained the support of the culinary union. The lawsuit was a thinly veiled attempt to disenfranchise those lower wage workers from having their say. There is nothing to apologize for in this case. Why shouldn't he stand by the ad? It was a fair and just response to an unfair and unjust act.

To JD in WI: How is Hillary standing by? She is the one who created the digression into mudslinging after Obama won in Iowa. Hillary created the race issue by patronizing the African American voters and acting as if she's entitled to their vote. Hillary created the management issue after Obama gave an honest response to a debate question. Hillary created the casino issue by standing by her supporters while they filed a lawsuit to change the rules at the last minute.

It's very unfortunate that Obama campaign team is Behring this. I'm a black and hope he takes very care because politics is not as easy as he see it. Whatever you do today may be indelible and ruin him till he die. The party is supreme and much as American society hate a woman to rule them likewise he cannot become president. Those in the media dancing to the tunes of their Jewish masters criticize Hillary of no apparent reason. When God asked Samuel to select the first king for the Israelites, he was looking for stature etc, but God chose David the tiny little boy. God appoints a king but not ones effort. Those who are saying hossana today will ask for his crucifixion tomorrow. I am praying for Hillary and she shall eventually win the race.

Obama is only a "uniter" when it's politically convenient and advantageous to his candidacy. The rest of the time (and for his entire SHORT political career), it's been "politics as usual". And he keeps proving it. He just "talks the talk". He's yet to shown any "walking of the walk"! That's why so many African American leaders and Hispanic leaders (including Chavez) are supporting Clinton.

2 months ago when it was expected that the Culinary Workers Union was expected to back Hillary there was nothing said out of her camp about the way the Democrats set up this caucus for people who could not get off work. In fact the were boasting on Meet the Press about their "respect in the Latino community". All of a sudden, the day after they learned that the union was supporting Obama, their friends in Nevada filed a law suite to stop their ability to vote. Thankfully the Judge saw right through their little plan and ruled aginst it.

If you say that it wasn't Clinton filing the law suit, (in fairness it really was the Teachers Union) then say the same about Obama because (in fairness, it really is the Unite Here Campaign Committee on behalf of the Culinary Workers Union running the ads).

That being said, Kevin in Nevada, Obama has done NOTHING to Clinton and Clinton has done NOTHING to Obama. Have you been reading about this stuff at all?

As a union activist, I am disgusted by the Nevada unions throwing their support to Obama. In Illinois, many of us tried to get Obama to support us in some specific battles with our employers and he REFUSED. He is an opportunist - not an advocate for workers.

Unfortunately, those lining up behind him just don't know what they are doing.

Clinton is far more receptive to the plight of workers.

First I have to say Go Hillary!!!!
But on the other hand I do have to say, Democratic party get it together. The back and fourth mud slinging isn't necessary. I could understand if it was against the republicans. If you keep this up who wouldn't vote republican. That isn't what we want, we need a democratic President in office. Speak what you stand for, and let the people decide. That is the american way. right? You are in the same presidential Party for goodness sakes.

Everyone take a CHILL PILL. This is a THIRD PARTY surrogate again. I don't know how ANY campaign can control these third party groups that have NO affiliation with a candidate.

The best candidates can (and should) do is apologize and admonish the groups who do this. Unfortunately, most of the time the damage has been done.

Same with push polling. I received a push poll from Huckabee supporters. I doubt very much that Huckabee even knew about it.

I think Obama would be a great President.People are saying hes not experienced but they are the ones that do not know anything.He would be a great leader for African-Americans.If Clinton was elected President she would just mess up everything just like her husband did and Im not going to say what that was.Just because Obama had a drug problem when he was younger doesnt mean anything he is a grown man now so get over it people.In that case the people that are voting for Hillary just think about how her Husband messed up when he cheated on his wife in that case she shouldnt be President either.
I HOPE OBAMA WINS!!! GO OBAMA!!!

How could Hillary understand anything other than her own ambitions? That's all that she and Bill Clinton have ever been interested in.

I'm confident that that voters, all voters, will see that very clearly before this is all over.

I was very happy to see Chris Matthews' description of Barack Obama's events on Jay Leno last night. Barack can lift this country up again. Hillary and John Edwards cannot. I like John Edwards and I think he do do the job and do a good job for America, just not as good as Obama. In fact, if Barack Obama were not running, I would support Edwards over Clinton any day. He is definitely on the side of the people.

Billary is supporting the lawsuit. How is pointing out that fact low and dirty? The timing of the lawsuit is what is low and dirty.

Obama did not put out this ad. A union did...and they were absolutely right to do so.

"Dirty campaign" by Obama? Are you kidding me??? Edwards and Obama both have been SLANDERED by the Mark Penn / Clinton campaign.

That suit was engineered by Clinton supporters (surrogate hatchet men). The Clintons, at least this once, are quickly experiencing the consequences of their actions and hypocrisy. They got exactly what they deserved. It isn't pretty, but maybe now they will learn to "play nice with others".

NO ONE IS MORE DIVISIVE THAN HILLARY CLINTON !!!!

Its open season on third party adds.. Thanks OBAMA

There is no way either Hillary or Obama can win in the general election against any of the Republican candidates (this is just the latest in the many reasons why). Tired of all the celebrity candidate coverage and the petty and divisive bickering? Then vote Edwards, the only candidate who CAN beat a Republican.

Why are people saying that Obama is running a negative campaign? It completely boggles my mind that responding to Hillary's comments qualifies as negative. John Edwards has run a far more negative campaign against Hillary than Senator Obama. This ad is not a 527, although it should probably be discouraged, and it only expresses the concerns of a large group of people who didn't know whether or not they'd be able to caucus until today.

This is our next president.clinton the started dirty politics.but the forgot that obama is from south side of chicago.GO OBAMA

Obama's argument for "at large" caucuses is solid, but it's unnecessarily aggressive to prolong the ads when their purpose has been served.

Now we are finally seeing the underbelly of "Hope". Obama is NOT what he claims to be, and he must not be handed the democratic nomination on a platter.

I would rather see John Edwards or Hillary Clinton than Obama....but of course, Edwards is the obvious first choice for this country – who would give us a new start, with sincere conviction in his policies.

What a Poor Ad!! This is ugly and so untrue. Latinos please do not believe the lies being told about Senator Clinton. If anybody is going to help your cause it will be Senator Clinton. I am an African-American woman; and my vote goes to Senator Clinton. I know that she can do the job of a president. Obama just uses talk with no facts and makes things sound pretty.

I will tell all people to vote for me on a write in ticket. Vote Bruce Beaudine President Of U.S. Democratic Party

Obama the Divider continues his tactics. Not that Clinton is much better. This is getting very very ugly. Go Edwards!

I can't believe the Democrats... they are going to nominate another unelectable candidate... Dukakis, Kerry, and now Obama... The Democrats live in a dream world and their delusions help support the Republicans maintaining power and ruining this country... Just like the Democrats helped to derail Gore with Nader.... They'll do it again with Obama... He's unelectable and he does live in a "fairy land" – politics is hard ball – not soft ball – we need hard hitters who can take the hit yet keep on going... Hillary and her team (Bill and others) have proven their sustainability... Obama is just a dreamer... as was George W. Bush, a dreamer... and look where that led us...

I find it somewhat humorous how Obama thinks he is a uniter, when he is dividing democrats by stuff like this and divides Americans with his push of the race card.

Hillary 08!!!

Go John Edwards!

Hardly any of the Media except FOX has the story about OBAMA PRAISING REAGAN!!

Edwards is right ... vote Edwards and stop the nonsense!!

The ad is not just a political ad to support Obama. But the ad displays the tactics that Hillary supporters tried to pull in order to eliminate the vote from the culinary union that endorsed Obama.

And why did Bill get so defensive when asked about the issue earlier? Because they planned all along to have someone file the suit to block the votes if Obama received the endorsement.

Do you really believe that as intelligent and political savvy as the Clintons are they did not contemplate the Nevada situation months earlier?

yeah right!

Hey Kevin,

What did Obama do? This is a fight between third party supporters, dummy.

RE: Angry Blk guy from VA,

You can get off the plantation now. We were set free a while ago. Didn't get the memo?

I would vote for Edwards. The fear is that neither Obama or Clinton, especially Clinton are electable. I do not want to re-live the Clinton years and their machine bully tactics are divisive to say the least. Obama is my second choice. Who would not want to see our country begin to unify with the independents and perhaps some Republicans backing an inspiring candidate? Edwards is being ignored and always is criticized for being a "trial lawyer" like that is somehow bad. Who do you suppose a person would want on their side when the corporations deny you health care or your company goes bankrupt like Enron? Get real and tell the little guy out there the truth. John Edwards has fought for us and will continue to. Maybe someone should read his book, Four Trials.

I just don't get where Hillary Clinton gets to say her experience as the wife of a governor and a president makes her ready on day one. Give me a break. The media will have a heyday with all its attention on where Bill Clinton is and right now our country does not have time for it. Check the economic forecast and Iraq and notice we need a leader and not a person who will sell us out to the highest bidder. Watch Sicko.

Just goes to show that OBAMA IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER POLITICIAN ... SO THIS IS CHANGE???????????

And people think Hillary attacks her rivals!? Not to mention, when did "Hillary's supporters" BECOME Hillary?

Want to know the truth about Obama – just go to his website under issues and civil rights – at the bottom left read "The Plan" in adobe format... simply amazing!!! Seems he is more worried about the two African-American Lawyers that were not replaced than any other minority in this country... read on America!

So first Obama lies about his team having anything to do with spreading the racial garbage. Then, once the damage is all done, i.e. Michigan results, he admits in the debate that his team did do it. Of course this wasn't dirty pool...yeah right! His team goes out of its way to get Michigan democrat voters to vote against Hillary just to embarass her. And now these abominable/d efamatory radio messages???

And Obama's team and supporters have the nerve to say that Ms. Clinton's team plays dirty pool???

Can we please get some redress here and at least demand that Obama take responsibility for any of the garbage that his people are doing? Any apologies or are we just going to hear more whining and crying on his part?

that's really low...and dirty....and childish...shame on yourObama.....shame shame shame...

FINALLY SOMEONE IS BEATING THE CLINTONS AT THEIR OWN GAME

Obama is a hippocrate. Funny how the Obama CULT was all over Hillary for the Teachers filling a lawsuit, but this is OK? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

I can’t stand the impotence strategy of Clinton camp allowing Obama to get away with any crap. When there are so many opportunities to keep Obama on the defense, Clinton camp is trying just to stay above the fray. That’s not going to work. I don’t understand why these so-called experts like Mark Penn and Howard Wolfsan don’t get it. They are dumb enough to think that Clinton’s celebrity status will take them through to victories on Feb 5th. Playing safe is not going to work.

LET THE ADS BEGIN

Can we please bring Joe Biden back, who is much more qualified to be President than either Clinton or Obama?

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one had a problem when John Edwards did it in IOWA RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here, here!!

Here we go again. Same old politics by someone who wants "change". Perhaps this may prod the media to ADMIT EDWARDS IS A CANDIDATE. Probably not. Odds are it will be presented as a Clinton v. Obama "WAR". I am glad Nevada voters are smart enough to see their votes should go to Edwards and not MSNBC crowned Clinton or the Uniter Obama. WE will see.

In keeping with Obama's pledge during the debate this past Monday night, he should speak out against these ads, as they are not "directly Obama's thoughts" (unless they ARE)-–Obama pledged to speak out about anyone (in his campaign) speaking "for him", when they are actually making his political camp look bad because those aren't his beliefs or values being professed.

Talk about trying to split the Democratic Party-–minorities are going against each other, and Democrats are going against each other (the Las Vegas Culinary Union verses Las Vegas Teachers' Union). How does this "unify" the Democratic Party?

It is fair to say that fairness to all voters should be first priority-–if you give some workers caucuses at their workplace, give ALL WORKERS caucuses at work--be fair. If this were issue was happening in my state, I would feel the same way.

Stop the negative campaigning-–the Democratic candidates don't want it, we shouldn't either. Get on with the REAL ISSUES.

I have worked in the states years ago and i see today how bad America is doing.
the only person who can turn this around is Sen Obama.
I hope for everybody inside and outside the us that's he gone be the next President!
Good luck America!
Peter from Belgium

The workers are speaking for themselves, their right to vote on Saturday. This is not a group sponsoring Obama's campaign so Hillary and Edwards better find something better to talk about.

Obama campaign is the same oiled machine from Chicago that knows all the tricks in the book. the same machine that have reelected politicians in Illinois for over 40 years. Tats the same machine that Obama hopes to bring to D.C. Obama campaing whines and cry out loud whenever is possible but when they do the tricks is all ok. is part of the change, so they think!
My question is since when is Obama walking aside the Latino community? He is just t calculated opportunistic politician!

I'll be the first to admit, this is wrong–even if the ads are true. If they'd like to encourage others to vote for Obama they can do so in another way.

clean politics (if its possible)

Hillary's just jealous. She doesn't have loads of humble people willing to spend their meager wages to passionately speak for her. She has Bob Johnson instead. Oops. I agree with the union. Vote for Obama instead.

The sweet smell of union politics

I am Latino in California and my brothers and sisters you are being told things that are untrue ! The Clintons have always supported the Latino community and now if these are true things that are being sad by Obama and the people who are saying this are not Latino because the latino community knows how important it is for them to vote for who will do the best thing for them on the issues that will effect the Latino community and if he supports what is being said then he is not saying the truth ! I am Latino and I would not lie to people who are in desperate needs and who truely need help and those who will not but say they will ! La raza would not be standing behind Mrs. Clinton if there was any signs of her not being willing to stand behind us on all issues and that includes Illegal Immigration Reform !! Ask OBAMA what he will do he does not want to discuss it in detail he will not ! its true !!

Obama and his supporters offer NO hope. Just a bunch of angry folks.

Hillary all they way!

Are there any adults running for president?

This is just a bunch of pre-teens feuding over the last of the cookies and milk. Give me a break people, and give me a candidate who is mature enough to stick to the issues without running home to mommy ,daddy or Oprah, every time something happens that they don't like.

There goes the Obama / Edwards ticket...... Oh well......

Latinos understand what Hillary's up to. It's too bad Hillary doesn't understand Latinos. This is why Saturday in Nevada, she shall lose.

Its really embarrasing that Obama continue his dirty campaign against Hillary. He is dividing Dems. Please don't vote for him.

Nice ad!

WOW!!! This is turning out to be a very ugly campaign season!!! Go Hillary!!

I think this is not an issue, we need constructive arguments to be discussed concerning the things that the voters want such as Healthcare, immigration, jobs, how to end the iraq war and other things that affect the American people.
