CNN

Wolf – butt out of the political process. Behave like a professional for a change and stop trying to pedal your perceived influence on the unsuspecting public.

Agreed with you Lee 100 % not fair – but....

Dear Huckabee supporters!

If you want Huckabee to get his far share of news time let your voices be heard. We need to bombard the networks with emails. We believe Huckabee can still win! Stand up for what you believe in and stop letting news decide the candidates!

A place to start:
hannity@foxnews.com

Don’t stop at TV shows, email newspapers, family, friends, and senators too! Go Huckabee!

I think it is very wrong of a news station to run only one candidates ads on there stations. You news stations are suppose to be impartial. Yet I have only seen Obama Ads and nothing from any on the other candidates. I you are going to be partial to one candidate or the other then you should run no ads at all. You are supposed to be a news station and political ads are not news.

Looking forward to the debate! Wolf, just one request challenge the candidate when they say something that is not true, or when they don't answer the question just like Tim Russet does. They shouldn't get away with saying that is not true, I am tired of Hillary's lies!

but rex isnt that just what the people in s.c. did vote for obama because he was black ? yes yes and many says

Mr Wolf I just dont get it. Three Clintons against One Obama in your future debates is what I suggest. Who is running for president ? Hill or Bill or peharps Chelsea is planning a run in 2016 by which she will be of age to run and the claim she has more experience because she has been the daughther of two presidents for 36 years(if Hillary wins the Election). .............................and by the way where is Oprah these days ? Where is an Oprah when you need one.

GO Obama

Mr. Blitzer
What happened to the fair and honest news? Did Oprah Winfrey bought CNN for Mr. Obama?

Elaine, not to bash your so called intelligence, but I could give a tinkers dam if a woman is in the White House or not, IF she is qualified. It is quite obvious that you are voting for her simply because she is a woman, and that my friend is dangerous.
If she is elected, you'll soon remember this post.

Only the Florida Republican Primary is referenced? I know they took away our delegates, but Democrats are still going to vote in Florida on January 29th. If it is not considered to be the Florida Democratic Primary, then what process is it in which I will participate next Tuesday?

I was expecting a question, but it was not. My question to democratic candidates would be, what if Bush Govt. starts war against Iran before the end of their term, how do you handle the situation? Hopefully, this question will be asked in the next debate. Thanks.

Until Obama came along, I was getting jaded like everyone else. Sick of political campaigns that only smear the other guy–never a campaign of ideas or ideals. Obama offers a national campaign and the possibility of a new Democratic majority. HC offers a 50+1 election that might as well be limited to OH and FL.

We need our own "great communicator" and that is Obama. HC will unite the party alright...the GOP.

We can't afford more Supreme Court justices that will not uphold the constitutional rights of its citizens.

When 47% say they won't vote for HC, how is she the "electable" candidate.

Obama can change the tone and get things done!

McCain: World War 3! What a novel idea!
Hillary: McCain you moron, our economy will slip, dollar will be doomed.
McCain: I am an economizt. I can spell economizt!
Hillary: No it is 'economist' you stupid! You're just like Cheney!
Edwards: McCain you're too old!
McCain: Yep, I am ready to wear diapers again! Yawn!
Obama: You have to 'change' before you sleep!

Not sure If Wolfe's postive bias towards Obama is becuase he, like some Americans, are not ready for a woman President or he has been instructed to do so by CNN.

Whatever it is he is losing his journalistic integrity by claiming falsely that Clinton started the attack in the debate.

The night after the debate, PBS played parts of the same debate and mentioned many times that it was Obama who started the attck and kept poring it on.

And Wolfe is the one who moderated it.

Elaine would you vote for her if she wasn't a woman?

I have no problem if she's the most qualified.

But between the Clintons & George W this country is so divided, it needs to heal.

I don't believe she offers anything more than Obama.

But he also offers hope.

And her claim of experience is very suspect when you look at it.

Truth is, when she fought for change as First Lady, she lost. And now receives money from HMO lobbiests.

The dems should be up 20 pts over any reb, but her divisiveness is hurting the party. And she couldn't care less.

This is a Dear Wolf letter. I'm well aware of the debates coming up, but , Mr.Cafferty does it best", nobody does it better", sings Carly? You've stole his fire ,but not his thunder or followers! Wolf, Jack is the very Best that CNN has to offer. His ruff and tough persona makes for good satire ,and his unique approach to politics in the world and at home are uncompromised. Dobbs is pigeon holed with immigration ( one trick pony),and three(3) hours of the situation room is to redundant, (please take no offense ) Jack wouldn't , so please get back to the news, and leave the blogs to Mr. Jack!!! P.S. FIRE Nancy Grace,...and you'll get a wild ride.

since when is CNN this trashy. Its supposed to be news, yet you guys cover all the dumbest things. We can clearly see you side with clinton. How is that supposed to be news though?

Your news ankers say they are disappointed that people dont pay attention to the issues, yet you go around and put oh bill clinton jabs obama, or chelsey campaigning, or clinton is back on the attack on your front pages.... ? whose the one not stickin to the issues. I dont know who owns you but I think after Fox Noise you should try to avoid that same path and do what's right.

As for me I'm sticking to PBS.

Rex Toledo, Ohio You are crazyyyy Your are dumb I am glad you aren't the only one voting.I am eduated. Iam for H.C. You might as well get use to the idea. We are going to have our first woman president.

WOLF:
Someone needs to probe Hillary's "35" years of experience. My understanding is that the longest job she has held was with the Rose Law Firm where she represented corporate clients like Wal-Mart and Tyson. Wasn't she there something like 18 years? How was that working on issues for the average American?!? And that 35 years goes back to her law school days. So this is a typical Clinton mis-representation of the facts. But most people will never hear any of this, all they'll hear is 35 years of experience. THIS MUST BE PROBED in the next debate before super Tuesday.
Thanks!

Hey Belle, pretty cool how Obama's plan turned out to be pretty much what's happening right now with the economic stimulus, huh? Coincidence? I think not. Economists have rated his plan an A, Edwards' a B and Hillary's a C-plus. Once again Obama is a leader and Hillary follows yet again. Ask yourself this people, where would Hillary be if she hadn't married Bill? If she keeps claiming all the good things from Bill's eight years then she gets the credit for NAFTA, Don't Ask Don't Tell, the failure to bag Bin Laden, etc. You can't cherry pick a person's record like that but she's been doing that from the start and NO ONE calls her on it. Thirty-five years of experience...LOL! To Cliff Baker...keep following those polls buddy. You're girl was trailing by 12 points going into New Hampshire. I know for a fact that in California Hillary was up by 30 points in late November. Now she's up only 12...trending down wouldn't you say?

The next time the Dems debate, I hope someone will be able to elicit something of substance from Obama. He's full of frothy rhetoric, fluffy hope and promise stuff, but we have yet to hear how he plans to bring everyone to that koom-bay-ah moment of perfect harmony and congenial cooperation. One person alone cannot bridge the partisan gap or change how this system of government works. I am disappoionted to find him lacking real depth of knowledge on many issues, including economic, military, energy and foriegn policy. We've seen enough of a "Three Stooges" administration. It's time to bring some experience, intelligence and a sense of urgency back to DC. No time for on the job training in these perilous times.

Wolf, can you ask them who they would choose as their running mates if they win the nomination.

I would like to see Clinton for pres and Obama for VP.. Weirder things have happened!

Also, I'd like to see the personal attacks kept to a minimum.

Why are all CNN programs NOT talking about John Edwards? In fact, in Lou Dobb's poll vote the other night regarding the economy, John Edwards won it and Lou Dobb's reported that Mitt Romeny had won. Why? At this point, I'm thinking the media is just as bad as the Washington politicians....you are not listening to the American people. There are many of us out here that are supporting John Edwards and he gets no coverage. Why?

Wolf: I watched the debate last week and was dismayed to see the bickering. I suggest the candidates not be allowed to stray from the topic and not address each other directly. This is our opportunity to learn their positions on topics vital to this country. We do not need to see these candidates fighting among themselves and we certainly do not need to give the Republicans more amunition to use against a Democratic candidate. This country cannot affor to have even 4 more years of Republican "leadership." Please use your immense talent to keep the candidates from self-destructing on stage during the next debate. I would like to hear each of these Senators talk about the bills they have sponsered and their committee membership while in the Senate.

If you want the Republicans to win in November, then vote for Hillary, because she will not survive facing Mc Cain! If you want the Democrats to win in November, then vote for Obama, because he will rally the Independents! That's a fact.

Being able to make a decision on a candidate based solely on the issues is tougher this year than ever before. It is all a game and we (the voters) are playing right along with it. It's not about being Black or even about Gender. I mean, look at how this country has grown in respect to that alone. Enough with that already, it is tiresome.

To CNN – thank you for taking the "Race and Politics" off of your screen. That alone was ridiculous. You aren't giving us the proper information we need in order to make a rational decision. You are supposed to be "The most trusted News in the World". Let's keep it that way... We aren't all as ignorant as you may think.

We ALL need to stop the rhetoric and refocus our own values as a civilization. It would be ideal to see Hillary not lash back at Obama when he starts whining about her and her track record and vice-versa.
They should stick to their proposed solutions to resolve the chaos in this country and show us what they're truly about, the PEOPLE..... or are they?

yes vinson you are so true i am also a-america and if i had plan to vote for him ccn surly change my mine what can obama change all of our ciztenship he is one of the false people in the holy bible

Hey Wolf I used to watch you daily, but you must have had a whisper in your ear
plug saying let them keep going back and forth. Even other stations talked how poorly this was handled. I think you did this on purpose.

As a moderator, facilitator you were not in control and you should have been. I am shock at how this was handled and how you handled this.

Advertising is spread by word of mouth and your situation room will just be sitting as far as I am concern.

Obama is a Populist.

I see you are still making the news. It appears to me you and your station are in the income bracket that enjoys Bush's tax cuts. I believe you are prepared to do anything to keep a democrat from taking the White House which is why you continue to put down the most viable candidate.

Shame on CNN

The Clinton machine is spewing out noxious fumes. Too bad that we all have to breath that terrible odor. Barack Obama is a brave soul to put up with their lies and innuendos.

I'm waiting for the real debate, that should be a wild ride. Providing the right ones are debating.

WOlf- I saw your inside episode today and I just want to say that yur three pundits are always ready to bash clinton where as they never criticize Obama. Eg his counter ad was as misleading full of half truth as clintons. I think CNN needs to realize viewers are not stupid and it shatters the credibility of Your so called Pundits. I am not sure if there should be called pundits. Bandits are more like it.

I'm a Republican. If Clinton is nominated as the Democratic Party's candidate, I'll vote for her in Novvember. Mr. Omaba is not ready for the job yet, in my opinion. If he were picked by his party, I'll definitely vote for my party's candidate.

Obama is a great speaker, that's all to me. Have you in you life always seen some guys who take big, then do nothing? That's how I think who Obama is.

I find the media tries to sway votes according to how they think personally. This is less than objective. Also, why do the American people have to listen to paid political analysts tell them how to think, Just another way to try to sway votes.Perhaps all of us should boycott the media.

Wolf: Thank you for offsetting the loss of the Golden Globe Awards withe the debate in South Carolina. It was wonderful to watch the Golden Glove Awards.
The Winners was Replublican Party, close second for John Edwards

Hi wolf
you have had my respect for years but there is definitely a prejudice on the part of cnn to slam the clintons lately. not really being a hillary fan I have tried to be objective and have discussed this with many other people who agree.
you are not holding obama accountable- most of this mudslinging started with the "senator from punjab" comment-no one has ever even asked him about it.
the first nasty volly at the last debate came from obama- not hillary
here is a man using oprah but upset bill may be too popular. tell him if he want to be president-stop whining and show some statemenship.
also, why do oprah and obama have schools in africa?- aren't there enough kids in chicago who could benefit from some laptops????- at least the clinton WORK in harlem.
also please stop repeating "the best political staff on television"- you say it so much its annoying- your reputation speaks for itself

Wolf: Well as a mediator your grade should be around D it would of been higher but considering. I will raise up to C.

Obama needs to grow up, get some experience, and stop being such a whining crybaby before he can be President. He might be grown up enough eight years from now once Hillary is done – at least, I hope he is, because I NEVER want to see another Republican in the White House!

I bought the most HILARIOUS thing today – it's the "George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Calendar" – has one of his crazy quotes or goofy mishaps for every day until he is finally out of office

Only 361 days of that idiot's reign left as of tomorrow – THANK GOD!

If the order of the states that held their democratic primary/caucus races had been reorderd Obama would be better off before Super Tuesday. South Carolina first which I think the result (Obama wins) still would be the same even though Obama had not been tested in a primary or caucus. Then New Hampshire and Nevada in the same order as they did this year. If the Iowa caucus was held right before Super Tuesday and Obama won then Obama would have the bounce into Super Tuesday from Iowa. As it stands I think Obama will get a slight boost for a couple of days and then things move a little closer in the polls but nothing really changes for Obama. Expections that Obama would win South Carolina have been around for some time. Obama needed one thing like McCain actually achieved and that's to move ahead in the national polls. Obama has never led the national polls. The lastest NBC/Wall Street Journal has Clinton with a 15% lead nationally. Our current national economic conditions and the war in Iraq stabilizing may be large factors in this. The poll also shows why South Carolina seamingly the best primary state for Obama is actually the worst. It will seem like Obama's win will largely come due to his African-American heritage. Out West are some very important states California and Washington. Obama needed to win a large diverse primary like Florida before Super Tuesday to show he can deliver a more diverse group of voters. Maybe next time the national parties will rethink this whole accelerated schedule because it seems to benefit some candidates at the expense of others.

CNN is obviously loves Obama. But I really love to watch Hillary on Debates. She is one smart tough person. Her answers are very detailed, without extra wording.
Go Hillary!!!

Wolf:

Do you have any credibility or sense of deceny left after the last debate?

Edwin Finch January 24, 2008 5:13 pm ET

After Democratic Debate, the CNN cameras were still on stage and showed Chelsey Clinton and Howard Dean talking with John Edwards for a length of time I think was more than just a hand shake. But as always, the pudits were taking about something else at the time.

I think the 3 of them together makes a good news story ——– BUT THERE HAS BEEN ZERO COVERAGE ABOUT IT. What were they talking about? Was it purely congratulations to Edwards for the best , level head performance of the debate? Or was there something more important taking place?

Edwin-
I also saw that exchange. I am a professional lip reader. The conversation was rather mundane. Dean was promising not to make that wierd scream during their threesome planned later that evening.

Hey Wolf, watch you daily. The self destructive tactics used by the Obama and Clinton campaigns can be reduced to a minimum if the media makes the accuser identify themselves by name and produce proof that their accusations are based on facts and can be proven. If not, do not put the statements on the air.

Oley

Check out the story in the LA Times today. He accidently or didn't mean to vote the way he did on several issues. Very interesting reading.

As is clearly in evidence, people with (college) education, gut instinct and brain and heart power are voting for anyone other than Hillary! Imagine that! Anyone with half of a brain could figure that one out. That would exclude the need to watch her pathetic attempts in the debates to recreate her histrionic self for the umpteenth time ( and exclude her several other remakes on the campaign trail as well!). 47% (negativity rating) of the public know they don't like the "original" Hillary and that number hasn't changed one bit since she began her run for the oval office. Thumbs down on that one!

Well, I had switched to CNN, but sorry Wolfe, you are rapidly joining the ranks of Fox Noise and MSNBC.....gotta turn you off.
Matt, I don't know what world you're living in, but your comment sounds to be rather uneducated....Oh, Wait,, I forgot, you probably got your political education from Wolfe Blitzer. What a joke. Thing is, most of the people that sit around and get their news from the press don't actually get out and vote. Too much work to get up off the couch and put the remote down.
CNN you are to blame for the negative image of America. You sell ads because buffoons got nothing going on and get jollies out of watching the candidates duke it out. And the whole lot of you are only too eager to keep on pushing those buttons because thats entertainment.....NOT NEWS, entertainment. No wonder the world hates the US. Just read the crap from our mouths on here. We are a pitiful people. And we can thank CNN for "lifting" us to that level.
Think I'll start a letter writing campaigne to the sponsors: Capitol One, Bayer, Geico, Progresso, Bank of America, Ritz, to name a few. They need to know CNN is going down just like FOX and MSNBC. I'll be sure to NOT purchase their products as long as they continue to support this crap. And I'll keep at it as long as CNN continues to CREATE the news (very selectively and in true entertainment fashoin I might add) rather than REPORT it.

hey get truth guy...yeah i bet she does eat a lot of meat lol.....hope she leave Obama alive tho..we need a new President.......PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAHHHHHHHH

Im voting for a republican if Hillary wins.
I cant believe people actually can take it when Hillary talks about "Change" – what a joke! That was Obamas' line from the start of his campaign, in reference to over 20 years of Bush/Clintons in the white house!

They (Clintons) know how to manipulate people Ill give em that – Im starting to believe no one can stop that political MACHINE, I have hope, but its dwindling fast...

Thank-you Gene! CNN the most one-sided name in news! Wolf, Cafferty is ruining the sit room.Was my all time favorite until mr, hate became big. He sounds just like Hannity! Please! lets have fair coverage at least from you!

CNN is to biased towards Obama to have any credibility this election.

It lacks courage to ask tough questions of him.

It also discourages others to do so.

What a shame.

If he were not of mixed race then CNN would be more probing towards him.

Well that does it. Just got through watching CNN. Jack Cafferty , in a McCain segment, trashed Hillary again, by reading the right wing nuts comments. I am going to start contacted their sponsors . I don't have to business with them. If CNN does not post it, I will post it on MSNBC and Fox. I think they will be happy to do so.

Today Polls
Although a generic Democrat has an 18-point lead over a generic Republican in the NBC/Journal survey, the race is much closer when McCain and Clinton are paired against one another. In that match-up, McCain holds a lead of 46-44 percent over Clinton, although that difference is within the poll's margin of error. And in a McCain-Obama contest, the two men are tied at 42 percent.

Obama 08

Belle, I respect your point. Many who bash Obama, do so based on Hillary/Bill taking words out of context. You are proof that some logical people do back Hillary.

I disagree with you though, we don't know the details behind closed doors. Obama's not stupid, he wouldn't take credit if it wasn't due. A sr senator would make him look silly will 1 comment to the press & it would play on the Clinton News Network for weeks.

Wolf I have lost respect for 2 people I had admire for years, Bill Clinton and Wolf Blitzer. You seem to revel in the ratings. Et tu Wolf?

How's that?

Why is everyone ignoring the 8000-pound elephant in the shadows? Climate change must be dealt with, the sooner the better. The Bushies have tried to discount global warming as voodoo science, but it's the one big issue hanging over this small world of ours that will ultimately force all nations to talk to each other.

Stop snipping at each other in the debates because it just gives the Republicans fuel for the general election (Karl Rove is already behind the scenes waiting his turn). Stick to the issues, and be very specific about how the Dems are here to solve the people's problems, as opposed to the Reps who only want to bring up the tired old issues of gays, guns, religion and abortion.

This country is already on life support, despised in the world, but the Dems can right the ship of state with a positive message about the issues. 70% of Americans want a big change and are desperate for the Dems to give them hope.

By the way, we watch PBS Nightly News, and it's the best, most balanced news. Don't understand the contest between CNN and Fox. PBS is terrific.

JOHN EDWARDS

CNN and all the MEDIA need to take a careful look at whats all at stake VOTERS need to know . support the candidate Who will Keep OUR JOBS HERE CREATE JOBS HERE Keep OUR TROOPS HERE. CNN GIVE this GUY DUE Airtime and YOUR Consideration.

Thanks D>H>

jack, you rail on politicians for saying what we want to hear and then you rail on McCain for "not listening to the people on Iraq." Make up your mind!!!!!!!

If Hillary is the democratic nominee then I will vote Republican. She will divide this country even more than king George has done. The behavior of her husband is terrible to say the least. Can you imagine the state of affairs in Washington with Clinton the sequel? No more Bushes, no more Clintons! We must move on.

Matt is absolutely correct. While I don't support either of them, truly educated folks are behind Obama, while the feminist, Britney Spears type crowd rally behind Clinton.
It's obvious if you just look.

The annual Harris Poll TV star list showed Oprah – who has spent the past five years as the No. 1 personality on TV – has been dethroned by fellow talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres.

Too little too late Mr. OBAMA for your trying to distance yourself from the gangster RENZO. Your dealings with him along with your lies on your record are beyond conprehending. People wise up, this man is not the one for the White House. Remember the 90s even with all the controversy of Bill's affair we did not have it very bad by the man balancing the budget and leaving office with three trillion dollars in escrow that stupid Bush gave away as soon as he took office. Then DUHYA started a war with Iraq at what cost in lives and money and we're not through there yet. Forgive me but I do not want another snake in the White House. VOTE FOR HILLARY.

You are right, Tyler T.. How can anyone call someone a Moron just because that someone is only expressing his/her opinion. Because all Obama talks about is changes. What changes? Come on Obama, can you see that all the Republicans want is for you to get the nomination so that they can get their candidate elected President of the United States. You will never get elected President. And Senator Clinton will. You see, for one, she has the experience that you and Senator Edwards put together don't have and to me that counts alot. And two, in my opinion, it is time that this country should be taken care of by a woman whether you men don't think so. Everyone deserves a chance.

Hillary and Obama bicker worse than my six younger siblings. How could we elect either of them? vote McCain!

Why you the medias don't say enough is enough for liars... Clinton has agressed media twice. The Clintons are liars, why don't you quote all big lies to the pp

To Matt A,
Peter is not a moron. You are not a moron. And nobody is a moron. Please calm down and digest the following poll results:

National:
LA Times – Clinton +9%
Rasmussen – Clinton +12%

States:
SC: Zogby – Obama +15%
FL: Miami Herald/St. Pete Times – Clinton +19%
CA: Field poll – Clinton +12%
NY: Quinnipiac – Clinton +26%
FL: Survey USA – Clinton +33%
NY: Zogby – Clinton +21%
NY: Siena – Clinton +25%
Alabama: Press Register – Clinton +3%
CT: Hartford Courant – Clinton +14%

Wolf(Sly Fox)
It is interesting that you flash Obama/Clinton confrontation followed by an unrelated marajuana issue. Who is CNN pushing for????

When Hillary did her mudslinging about Obama “working for a slumlord,” Obama gave a clear explanation of the facts.
When Hillary accused Obama of “being initially for single-payer health care system “ (a very curious attack considering her former health care attempts), Obama clearly explained his rational statement on this subject.
All those attacks in the posts about Obama’s lack of providing substance in the debates are ludicrous. How much substance has Hillary provided? The fact is that it is impossible for any candidate to go into details of his/her proposals.
Obama generally tries to speak intelligently, which apparently bothers some people. Hillary makes boasts about her readiness from day 1, something that is just words, that cannot be supported by any evidence.

"I was undecided about about whom to vote for…Obama or Clinton until I saw the CNN clip about Obama trying to take credit for the "infusion of cash plan deal that was struck in the house" today."

---

Show me the link to that. I'd be curious to see it since it didn't happen. Anyone else smell another Clinton "plant"...?

I am so frustrated at the biased reporting on CNN and there is nothing anyone can do about it except stop watching. The look of delight on Wolf's face and Jack Cafferty's face when Hillery is put in a negative light portrays sheer delight, revealing their bias to the Clintons. The media is pushing for a racial war in America and then you will have lots to report.
Just report the news.

Hi Mr. Blitzer,
I want to thank you for you for being a good journalist. I have switched to CNN for my news simply because of the respectfulness you have had towards my candidate of choice, Ron Paul. You have won my respect in return and honest appreciation for your professional approach to reporting. I hope you will continue this trend. I would hate to give you the boot like I did Fox News.

Yeah Matt you are the one who is missing the winner buddy. Hillary crushed Obama the other night in the debate – Obama stuttered, paused, said I, I, I and wait wait wait. She was trembling and his lip literally quivered. McCain would chew him up and spit him out if he won the nomination.

Hillary is tough and she can stand her ground – Id put her up against any of the republican candidates. And dont give me the she is a Bitc- Just because a woman is strong many think they are bitc-es whereas if a man did the same thing he would be tough. What a double standard.

In summary – Hillary schooled Obama in the debate – Ewards was second even though he didnt get as much time (not really sure he needs anymore) and Obama shaking in the corner was last.

Wolf, can you please stop with those race and gender questions???? Enough already!!!!

Yes it is exciting to watch a Woman that built her career on fraud and lying maybe you Billary lovers should dig into her background. She says nothing except everyone get's free money.

I don't think she understands the Economy or the Constitution.

When Bill left Office they were begging the public to help with Bills defense fund. and went in the financial toliet.Now he has deals all around theh World and have 40 million, intersting.

Sad day when Americans think she is a leader. Think about what Bill did in the Lincoln room and she has no character or morals just like Bill.

Get a grip people. You get the King and Queen of the Empire we are in a 135 Countries with 700 bases.

Have a party.

Billary is down in SC polls. Expect her to cry on Friday.

The next Democratic debate in CA will give Senator Hillary Clinton a homefiled advantange. Among all the candidates (Republican and Democrat) Hillary is the best debator. She is well-prepared, aggressive and very knowedgable.

Hillary gets my vote, and on Jan 2008, we all will address the Senator from NY as Madam President.

Be sure to check on a few things before you even consider voting for Hillary Clinton!
Google these videos:

"The Clinton Chroincles" 1 hour 51 minutes
"Bill and Hillary Clinton: Their Secret Lives"
"Mena Coverup" 54 minutes
"The Clinton Body Count"
"Rose Law Firm"

It is your civic duty to know who and why you are voting for a candidate. Don't vote for a criminal. Thanks.

Once again CNN is making the news (or making up the news) instead of reporting the news.

Let's hope that CNN and Wolf learn from their mistake as the moderator of the last Democratic debate and will not allow applauds and cheerings or booings from all sides. CNN must take control and do not allow the audiences to give their candidates the "home field" advantage.

Cliff Baker,

I realize that CNN is of liberal ilk but unfair is getting very old. A few minutes ago
you were showing political shorts and you displayed John McCain 4 times in about 2 minutes along with a few dems, without showing Mitt Romney once.

Its okay to have a personal opinion. Its not okay to tell the american people who they should vote for.

Give the citizens the facts fairly and let them decide who they want to vote. After all this is supposed to be "of the people, for the people, by the people; it's in the constitution...remember.
Jerry

I wish people would give John Edwards a chance. I voted for him in 2004 and again this time. It's a shame he's being overshadowed by Clinton and Obama.

I am an African American. I strongly support Senator Hillary Clinton. I think CNN and the media has distorted the comments of Senator Clinton and President Clinton for its own purposes. I think Senator Obama does not want to have to answer tough questions.

After Democratic Debate, the CNN cameras were still on stage and showed Chelsey Clinton and Howard Dean talking with John Edwards for a length of time I think was more than just a hand shake. But as always, the pudits were taking about something else at the time.

I think the 3 of them together makes a good news story --– BUT THERE HAS BEEN ZERO COVERAGE ABOUT IT. What were they talking about? Was it purely congratulations to Edwards for the best , level head performance of the debate? Or was there something more important taking place?

Last Saturday night Hilary almost eats Obama alive, I bet you this time she will finish him with no meat left.

Hillary should bring Bill Clinton on stage ... why not be honest ? He could at least sit behind her and yell at the cameras when the other candidates talk.

I haven't watched the debates for the same reason I don't watach the Sunday morning shows – everyone just talks over each other and I can't figure out what anyone is saying! And it's really annoying! If I wanted to hear people argue, I'd stay at work!

Can't you just get them to state their positions and their plans to help Americans without attacking one another? It would be the greatest service you could possibly do for this country!

CNN is a disgrace. I do not know how they can claim to be a news organization. Jack Caffertyis almost foaming at the mouth. He just gave comments on six messages that came into his file. Of the six, only one had a Hillary positive. The others were the rantings of some of the right wing nuts that you read here. He read them in a nasty tone to his voice. Shame on the whole bunch of you. I have tried to post early in the day, but I guess I am being held hostage some where in a dark place.

Wolf is great and I enjoy watching him every day and that's not to say I agree with everything he says. I especially liked the interview he done with Dick Cheney. I hope to continue enjoying Wolf for years to come.

I love Hillary taking charge during the debates, but crashing EMOTIONALLY before or after the debates.

The answer is simple, American men do not like to "attack" or challenge their women in public, period.

So, Obama and Edwards, please let Hillary win the DEBATE and all the women will get your votes. That is, be "GENTLE-men; do not beat on poor Hillary."

Wolfe,

The Americans are hoping that this time you will not be biased. Be fair to Senator Hillary Clinton.

I will not request the other CNN Obama supporters because they are hopeless.

I'd like to hear a question about civil liberties: The NSA warrantless wiretapping by the Bush administration is a huge affront on civil liberties but I hear no questions about it in the democratic debates. So here's my question:

"Limiting civil liberties is generally accepted to a certain degree in order to keep the American public safe. For example, the right to free speech isn't extended to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, and the right to privacy can be intruded upon with a lawful search warrant from a judge. In light of the Bush administration's authorization of warrantless wiretapping of the American public, to what extent do you support limiting civil liberties in order to provide for the safety of the general public?"

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would encourage CNN to pose questions to the candidates about the issues, and NOT "he said/she said" questions that dominate the media – however, the SC debate was fantastic!
But, for this next debate, I would find it very interesting to see WHO (of the candidates) starts up all of the "you said/I said" – it's going to be fun!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait for the debates and see Hillary once again speak issues on one hand and bat her contenders with the other. Not many people can do that effectively. She's clear in her debates, she's very knowledgable and she's ready to lead. Obama looks like a novice, unprepared, can't debate, can't defend issues, stutters and mumbles... he's clearly not ready. Please give Edwards more camera time, his ideas are very Democratic in nature and a lot of us can relate.

I am a lifelong Democrat. At 57 I was eager to see a woman elected President. However, after watching the Myrtle Beach debate, listening to President Clinton's attacks of Obama, and now reading about the most recent attack ad in Florida (taking Obama's quote regarding the Republican years out of context), I have decided to support Senator Obama. The manner must match the message. Truthfulness is important. The intentional deceit of President Clinton and the Clinton campaign reminded me that how we play the game IS important. Although I very much wanted to see the first woman elected President – it is more important to me that a truthful, authentic and honest person be elected President. From what I have seen and heard, that person is Senator Obama.

get ready for a wild ride. The Blitzer heading up to New York to head up campaign coverage... big Freekin Deal!

GO HILLARY...SMART LEADER..

Mr. Blitzer
Do you call these debates? . This is Prime Time junk.

Hillary brought up Rezko. Obama's work with Rezko was legal. Hillary got about 850,000 from FBI most wanted Normal Hsu! how about that for facts!

We constantly single out the individual candidates as the sole person we evaluate for heading up the Executive Branch, but as Rumsfield's horrible performance as Secretary of Defense illustrates, the various Cabinet positions are crucial to a President's success or failure.

I would like to see Anderson and Wolf ask each of the candidates in the upcoming debates who they would like to nominate as the Secretaries of State, Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury, and Attorney General. I think the responses to this question would give the voters incredible insight on how the candidates would run the Executive Branch, and it could also give us some indications about what the candidates really believe about the policies they might pursue. And please don't let them waffle on their answers – follow up the initial question with a request for specific information, rather than fluff.

You folks are doing a great job with this campaign. Keep up the good work! I think the country is more interested and involved in this campaign (both on the Democratic and Republican sides) than I can remember – and I first voted in 1972 as a bright-eyed 18 year old.

Hello everybody! I like Mrs Clinton since she will send jobs here, to Bangladesh. Thank you Hillary, for supporting free trade and many bush policies. it has helped us very very much. also, much thanks to getting many jobs here. the rupee is very strong now thanks to bill & hillary and bush, so sorry about your dollar though. thank you hillary for helping bangledeshis!

I have ALWAYS supported a woman's right to choose and Bill Clinton is listed as one of the people I'd like to meet most on my myspace page……BUT….it's pretty obvious that the Democratic party has gone the way of the Dodo bird. Consistently the Democratic party is proving to be a party of NON-THINKERS and knee-jerk reactionists. I despise the tought of restrictions on the freedom of speech….I despise the spectre of what happend in Katrina….but it is obvious Democrats have no intention of listening to reason…..My reasons for not supporting HRC have everything to do with my desire to see this country healed, pull out of Iraq and have our respect restored around the world. Hillary Clinton will not be able to work with the other side that is NEEDED to accomplish anything!

I am sick and tired of our government NOT GETTING ANYTHING DONE!! This country needs someone who can reach out, work with and compromise with Republicans…..HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT THAT PERSON.

The pro-Hillary posts I see here are a perfect example of the very closed-minded, non-thinking, vitriolic, ignorance that will drive people like myself out of the Democratic party….Let's see what happens to a woman's right to choose when you keep losing people like me….

I agree with Tyler T. MATT you are the moron. Change change, unity unity, inspiration inspiration, hope hope pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase!!!!! Our troops need to come home!! We also need to think about if we will be employed next month!! OR are we going to be able to hold on to our houses. Let's talk about those things for a CHANGE!!

Oh well, I might as well vote for Barrack Hussein Obama. Does it sound we are in America? Where are the Joe Smiths or Jane Smiths?

Wolf, please focus the questions for the next debate on the important issues. As entertaining as the personal drama among the candidates can be for reporters that are tired of hearing about the important issues over and over again, the voters need to elect the president based on their policy stances, not based on their reaction to trivial feuding or quotes taken out of context.

Mr Wolf, you need to do better job of moderating debate.We hardly had candidates speak any issue other then fact that Hillary was in Board of Directors of Walmart.

The fall out from the last Dem debate...is still floating down.

I have a new respect for John Edwards..he has emerged as the most Presidential of the Democratic batch.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Rudy, Romney, and McCain duke it out in their next national debates.

Outcome since observing the last debates:

I know longer support Hillary–even if it is a "party loyalty issue"–I'll switch over vote to keep her out of the White House. Pretty much the same for Obama.

Both of them are "big spenders" at a time when Americans are seeking someone who will reign-in government–before creating newer and larger programs!!

The idea...that many of these problems–should be under the federal government..rather than the states has also been an issue.

The time of big government is over..we want wise...and necessary government...not a laundry list of new programs to mirror FDR..

HEY BALLE
I AGREE IS WITH U
HE DOES HAVE EGO
HIS EMOTIONAL SPEECHES ARE WRITTEN BY SOMEONE ANYWAY
SHAME SHAME

Matt, can you please explain how "education and political awareness among the Democratic nominee supporters goes up, the support for Obama skyrockets".

Can you please ELABORATE on the political awareness one must have to support Obama?

Please also provide your age.

Thanks.

Looking forward to the next Hillary/Obama debate – why even invite Edwards, you never give him an opportunity to speak anyway? Besides, he really isn't very interesting or good for the ratings.

I want -at least I keep my hope up, for CHANGE, you know – that Hillary will slap that teenage, arrogant, ignorant, disrespectful preacher boy across the face so hard he'll have to sit down and actually THINK!

What a novel idea for Obama...

A VOTE FOR McCAIN IS A VOTE FOR WORLD WAR 3. THINK ABOUT IT.

Sorry, I meant I agree with Matt. Peter, you're a moron.

CNN: As much as you enjoy playing the game of "Lets you an' him fight...I'll hold yer coat"s!! " it is totally unethical for you to be egging them on! At least put John in the middle and spread the podiums & the chairs another foot apart. I once liked the Clintons and I loved CNN, but now I am totally for the underdogs and totally against the big dogs. Obama and Edwards, protect your backs!!

Wolf – The media ( TV & Press ) have it in their hands to deliver all canidates TRUE positions and their stated plans for how they will perform as President, and on what the canidate will do for the Americans who vote her/him in. As an American voter I would like to be able to hear a clear concise plan and be able to reasonably BELIEVE this individual. We have too many politians at present in all public offices that are just waiting out retirement and filling their own and their family and friends pockets at the expense of the voters who believed in their "I"ll help you" speeches. God help us all if we don't get it right this time. We are really in a mess. We need a President who is Honest and True and above all, accountable to the Voters. Maybe we also need to take a look at the rules and laws governing how or what to do with politicians that fail to do what we elect them to do in a timely manner. "Three strikes ( years) and you're out" That gets my vote!

Hi Wolf,

I was undecided about about whom to vote for...Obama or Clinton until I saw the CNN clip about Obama trying to take credit for the "infusion of cash plan deal that was struck in the house" today.

A plan that has NOT even gone to the Senate for approval yet. Since WHEN does a junior Senator that is campaigning for the Presidency of the United States have the audacity to take credit for something He didn't even write?

Congratulations Mr. Obama, you JUST lost my vote today. Further, your comments to CNN showed me that your ego is a rival to Mr. Bush's!

PLS NOT AGAIN
I LIKE MSNBC DEBATES
THEY ARE PEACEFUL,ISSUES ORIENTED AND ON THE TOPIC
PLS PLS PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WOLF TAKE CONTROL OF SITUATION THIS TIME
IF ITS THE SAME STUFF ,FIGHT AGAIN I WILL TURN IT OFF

PLSSSSSSSSSSS WOLF , BE NICE THIS TIME . I LIKE DEBATES ON MSNBC . THEY ARE MORE PEACEFUL AND REPORTERS HAVE CONTROL ON SITUATIONS.I HATED LAST CNN DEBATE .
PLS GIVE US A NICE TOPIC ORIENTED,BASED ON ISSUES ,HEALTHY DEBATE
WE DONT WANNA SEE CHICKENS AND BULLS FIGHTS

Wolf does a great job !

Obama is sad in these debates. No wonder he gives his campaign speeches by using a teleprompter.

Hopefully John Edwards will win in South Carolina

Oh, boy! Perhaps Wolf will get control of it this time. Let's give Obama and Clinton boxing gloves and Edwards can be the referee. Much more of this and we can call off the general election as McCain will win in a walk.

My hopes and support of the Democrats are undergoing possible revision. Obama's the future, Clinton's the past and Edwards may be the "kingmaker". Stay tuned.

Matt, how can you call someone a moron for their opinion? She does better than Obama does. All Obama talks about is: "change, change, unity, change, change, unity." Im sorry but the issues are more important than rhetoric.

Well, "excuzeee me" Matt:
I am as educated as you can get and I support Hillary.
I admire her leadership and get it done attitude... she is a doer while others are dreamers. I'll take the "doer" thank you very much.

For all multiracial people out there ,we are who we are MULTIRACIAL. To deny that is to choose one race over the other. This hurts the feelings of multiracial children. I know for I too was once a child.

Barack's mother was white ;therfore he is multiracial remember that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so Mr Blitzer, are you going to let Hillary Clinton interrupt and run over the debate AGAIN like she has in every one that CNN has moderated? you NEVER call her on it unlike debates on other news channels.

and give JOHN EDWARDS his TIME. he is the ONLY ONE really SPEAKING to the ISSUES.

Yes Im ready for another debate for Obama to win. Even though Clinton and Edwards try to double team him. I find it diplorable the type of campaign the Clintons are running. Bill and Hillary and their cronies were the first to pull the race card and want to get mad at Obama when he dont respond to them. Then they wanna attack his record in the IL State Sentate. Look at their record in the US senate... almost identical so whose to put down anyone. Both candidates have the ablity to do something this country has never seen and it is getting out of control with all this bickering back and forth. I feel the spouse in the campaing should talk about their spouse and leave the other candidates name out of thier mouth . Everything was find up until Hillary won NH and NV barely. She needs to worry about loosing support and getting her message accross to the people. As for Obama he needs to realize that he is only running against Hillary and not Bill. Bill need to be careful not to get the right people mad or they can bring up some stuff about him. Everything was not so goody goody and safe in the US when he was president. I recall we still have troops in Kosovo thanks to Clinton's Adminsitration. That is one thing i do not like about the president, they are quick to jump in another country business and try to run the show. The USA should only act as liason for advice not as a governing body for a foreign state. They have to many worries here in this country for them to worry 100% about other countries. In the USA we have Millons without health care, millons of homeless, millons of children not getting a proper education. There is plenty more then this so i hope the next president who ever he or she is does not do what the past presidents have done. Sit in office for 8 years do a bunch of high profile stuff the first couple of years and then do crap the rest.

Hey thanks Wolf for keeping us up to date. Try and give Romney some 'equal coverage' in Florida too. I know the media only wants to give liberals like Hillary, Obama and McCain coverage (and far right Huckabee), but Romney is kicking butt, and no one gives him any credit. He's the invisible, but winning candidate (he won 1st in Michigan, Wyoming, Nevada, and now he leads the polls in Florida). Of any of the candidates who can give this country an economic turn around, it's Romney.

Well Wolf, I sure hope you can contol Billary better his time. She just won't shut up now will she? She sure won't respect her allotted time.

Maybe you should let Anderson Cooper have a try at this democratic debate thing. I don't think he is afraid of the Clintons. Or, maybe there just shouldn't be any rules. That might work better. That way you don't have to go on national TV and explain how you just let them continue so as not to interrupt. Hmmmm...maybe I'm wrong here but I thought that is what a mediator was supposed to do and not loose control.

Lord, I better start building that screen around my TV...you know so I don't throw something thru it when she starts in time after time after time.

Seriously, think about a swap with Anderson.

I would like to wish the candidates luck in their respective debates. The last time for people to see the candidates before Super Tuesday.

Wolf, First off I'd like to say that I am an avid watcher of the Sit. Room and have been since its onset.

I would like to see if you would be willing to ask the Democrats a question for me in CA? I would like to know if any of them TRULY believe that if they were to win the election in November, G.W. Bush will actually tell them and "bring them up to speed" on EVERYTHING he and Cheney have done in the past 8 years and PRECIESELY what fallout to expect in their administration from these actions?

Wolf, you did an awesome job with the last debate – try to keep them on subject and to the issues. These debates are making Clinton look very good, confident and presidential. I expect her to build huge momentum heading into Super Tuesday where she will sweep and become the true front-runner. Good luck!

"Peter E January 24, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Cant wait to watch Hillary win another democratic debate. I love watching her win!"

Peter you're a moron. Hillary doesn't "win". She barely scrapes by while feeding off of the support of uneducated candidates that recognize the Clinton name and feel that things will get better again with that name, or deluded women trying to prove their equality to men by supporting Hillary just because she's a woman.
I've found that once education and political awareness among the Democratic nominee supporters goes up, the support for Obama skyrockets.
Hillary is the candidate for people that have no clue how politics and these candidates really work.

And you're also deluded for thinking that Hillary has been winning the debates when she clearly hasn't been.

It would be nice if you would give Edwards his fair share of time for a change.
At least allow the man to talk without turning his mic off...Jesus.

Can we have a fair debate this time Mr. Blitzer?

I'm very disappointed with the Clintons and will now vote Obama. I liked Hilary but I'm getting more and more upset with the Clinton's tactics.

Think Obama and Hillary will even say hi before swinging at each other? Hope they put Edwards in the middle at least so he gets a little more camera time.
I must admit the Democratic debates make great TV. Republicans could learn a thing or two from them......

I love Hillary taking charge on the debates.... she is the best chance we got... GO HILLARY!!!

Cant wait to watch Hillary win another democratic debate. I love watching her win!

Well , i hope these next two debates are as event-filled like the last ! I was glued to the t.v. for the two hours , unlike other debates when i would multi-task !

The only thing i didn't like and almost everyone says the same thing was how they constantly went after each other and ignored the issues ! However it did make for great T.V

Good Luck in Next Weeks Debate!
