Wow some of you are posting things and don't even know what the canadid you are supporting is all about. You are just like a wave riding it til it fizzles out. Hillary is the best choice for the Presidency at this time. She is strong, qualified, and a caring person. Obama is wanting illegals to get drivers licenses. That is like handing out driver's licenses to Bin Laden and letting him give them to the people that are working for him. Wake up before it is too late. We have had a disaster for the last 7 years with a President that didn't know how to run the country. All he can do is create a WAR that was uncalled for and spend money. Don't ever say the democrats spend money because George Bush has spend all the surplus Bill Clinton had and millions more.
This tidle wave of Obama is going to fool alot of you people including the people that endorse him. Cnn has not really picked into his background like that have Hillary's. They seem to be afraid to say anything bad against him. Why not put all the facts out there and then let the people decide.
Vote Hillary 2008-2012

Ron Paul looks like the smartest choice. Clintons have had their turn in the White House. I don't want to waste money buying 'healthcare insurance' so Hillary & her plans to make it mandatory to purchase healthcare insurance tends to cause me to vote for somebody else. I'd like voting for a woman President that wouldn't be as costly as what Hillary Clintons Presidency would be. With the economy in shambles, we don't need a President making anything expensive mandatory if it could be optional. What's wrong with taking care of your own health needs & let everybody else do the same? Maybe open free clinics where there are people too poor to pay for their healthcare needs? Plenty of options other than making buying a healthcare insurance policy mandatory. Is she THAT firmly in the pocket of the insurance industry?

Good info much appreciated

Oh, yeah, and those of you who vote for Hillary are going to be in for the "shock of your lives" Nope, if it's not Obama, then I am moving to the Republican side – my mind is already made up.

If I can't find any information about Obama's positionn on illegal immigration, then I am definitely going to vote for Mitt Rommey!

What is Hillary's views on anmesty? She has not said one word, but, she has said and I quote, "There is no such thing as an illegal woman." If there is no such thing as an illegal woman, then there must be no such thing as an illegal man.

Mickey, if you treasure your job, your freedom to choose your own doctor, and you don't want to become the minority – then i would suggest you change your thoughts. I am sure with the comments that Hillary made, she is leaning towards anmesty. Hispanics are the ones that favored her over Obama in Flordia. And, the Hispanics DO HAVE relative in Mexico.

Maybe you should have taken the time to read the ticker from MSBN about what an "Educated Mexican" had to say about the illegals taking control of the United States if they are granted anmesty and Educated Mexican claimed it is about time to have change in America – they will no longer be the minority! NO THANK YOU – NO VOTES FOR HILLARY FROM MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Mitt Rommey shares the same view point on how to control the illegal population and I feel it is the right move for America. The word "illegal" mean a criminal act – small and large businesses alike hired the illegals and broke the law. THEY should be held accountable for this mess. It has gotten out of control and beyone the scope of what the government can do for the American people. I ALL illegals should be deported and asked to get the proper documentation required to work and live in the United States. Under no circumstances should we see a Mexican flag flying on the soils of the United States. This is our country and we should take it back and we should not have to be pushed around for what we have fought and believe in all these years. If the illegals want freedom, that's fine, but they need to go back to their own country and overthrow their government and ask for democracy. It CAN be done and running across the border with their tails between their legs does not show me they have enough guts or gumptions to save their own country. Is that the responsibility of the United States – to give up what we fought for and believed in so they can take from us? I DON'T THINK SO!

We really don't need HillBillys running the country. We're in enough of trouble already. Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!

It gives me pleasure to see Hill and Bill defeated by Obama since they think it is her "right" to have the nomination. It really doesn't matter who is Dems nominee,
they are alike in all respects.....higher taxes, more soc. welfare,Liberal changes that will destroy America as we know it ...YIKES

Which begs the question: Why are we wasting our time watching these people? Let's elect a man with a clue, a spine and a conscience!
RON PAUL 2008–HOPE FOR AMERICA–BE PART OF IT!

Wow, now Obama wants all illigal imigrants to get driver's licenses. That is really stupid. Then the terrotist will have a easy way into plan whatever they want. This is what I am talking about by being inexperienced. People better wake up and look at this man then you will realize Hillary is the better choice.
I was really suprised in 3 of the Kennedy's that support him, but it looks like their family is split also. Some of them really know Hillary and support her for her experience and qualifications. Ted's and Carolines endorsment just show that they are going with the flow because of Carolines children. Wow I would have never thought that they could not judge for theirself and would use youth and inexperience to make this call.
Just shows you that some people are followers adn some people can really make up their won mind. Hillary is that kind of person. She CAN make the tough decisions. I am sure glad she has backbone.
Hillary for President 2008-2012

Has everyone forgotten the Clintons....and THEIR track record? Vote for anyone but Hillary....that family scares me!!

I have never been so proud and have a new respect for the Kennedys! I am a Republican and am so impressed with Obama. What a wonderful thing Caroline and Ted did for Obama. I thought Ted would be afraid to go against the Clintons. Good for him – I think this is the best thing Ted has done in many many many years. If I were a Democrat, I would be proud to vote for Obama. And, if he does win the presidency, I will wholly support him. I would never ever support her royal highness, Hillary! She thinks that we are all so stupid. I cannot imagine having Hll and Bill in the Oval Office. To me it is hallowed ground, which Bill desecrated!

Bill is unbelievable. What a used car salesman. He thinks the public is tired of political bickering, so he plays the "Hillary and McCain will have a peaceful campaign" card, like he's giving the American people yet another reason to vote for his cohort Hillary. HAHAHA! Please Bill! Ever hear the saying "you can fool some of the people some of the time etc..."

We all know how dirty the Clintons play.

John McCain may have been a war hero, and I admire him for that, but he is no conservative republican, and has not been one for quite some time, he is worse then George Bush on caving to democrats, some one on this post said McCain has great respect for the rule of law.....well where was this person when McCain was fighting to give amnesty to 12 million illegals in this country who broke the rule of law getting here!!!! And don't think he has learned his lesson, and now actually wants the borders secured first, he just wants elected, and one thing a politican will do is say anything to get elected, then do the opposite once in office, I was sorely dissapointed in the N.C. results, guess they bought McCain and Grahams lies hook, line, and sinker.....guess Graham will be back as there Senator again.

Yes he is a big time deal maker in the worst way!!! Moderates and Independents think that pandering to the democrats every wish is deal breaking, and great for the country, so why don't these RINOS and Independents just vote democrat, but then again they are doing that by voting for McCain, which is destroying the Republican party.

I have always voted for a Democrat but if Hillary gets the nomination and runs against McCain. I would vote for McCain hands down. I will never vote for the Clintons. They had their time in the White House. I never realized how slimy the Clintons are. To think I voted for them twice.

McCAIN LOOKS LIKE HE JUST CUT AN AIR BISCUIT AND CLINTON JUST DETECTED IT.

ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT VOTE FOR OBAMA WILL BE IN FOR A HELL OF A SUPRISE HILLARY 2008

Billary's living in a fairy-tale fantacy land. Did Bill already forgot how much Rupublican's hated him and the country went through the impeachment saga while he was president? More than half of people in this country hate Clinton's regardless... I am surprised they have guts and desire to come back to Whitehouse again. Their time has came and gone. It's time to turn the page, and let the new generation take over.

Clinton and McCain are two peas in a pod. If we are going to have the 2 of them run, why don't they just run for a joint presidency? There's hardly a difference in their REAL policies - the ones that McCain is reluctant to publicly admit to since he's a RINO (Republican in Name Only).

Sure they are "very close".

Both are for unlimited illegal and legal immigration, which would add 100+ million immigrants under the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill! Do you want a million immigrants in your city or 1,000 in your town? Vote for either Hill or McAmnesty and that's what you'll have to put up with.

McCain-Feingold is another issue where the two see eye-to-eye; and we can go down the whole list of issues where McCain is solidly in Hillary's bed, so to speak, politically.

Two peas in a pod. Pity McCain won't be honest and just call himself a Democrat!

They are all little rascals and devils.

Anyone mentioned "MANCHURIAN CANIDATE" yet?? Hil's the handler~McCain's records have never been released~and he does not want any of his fellow p.o.w.'s records released either.

If McCain wins the Repub Nom ! I will be voting democrat for the 1st time in my life! Nobody is washington has done more damage to the conservative wing of
the Republican party than him. GO TO hell Mclame

.....and this is precisely why John McCain is the LAST person the Republican Party should nominate.He is not,and never been a conservative.He is a deal maker and is not even familiar with the truth.He has lied about everything in his past since he started campaigning.I,for one, will never trust him.I may HAVE to vote for him against either Democrat who is running,but will NEVER forgive the tv,radio and print journalist for pushing McCain as the preferred nominee,while killing Fred Thompson's chances by their negative spin .He would have been where McCain is,had he been the choice of the "powers that be" in the media.

Billy Smythe Clinton is afraid that history will not anoint him the "First Black President". He will be lost in Obama's shadow. Take a nap, Bill.

History will also not show him as the great economic leader. Remeber the Republican congress that held his feet to the fire. Remember the Contract with America...where is Newt and his cohorts who force Billy to balance the budget?

Take a nap, Bill. You will have a lot of spare time. Hillary will stay in the Senate...for a while longer.

If this is true, then I will definitely be voting for Gov. Romney. Who in the hell does King Bill Clinton think he is??????????

That's exactly what the republican party needs...two democrats in the general election. Hillary v. McCain would be two liberal candidates and would leave us no true republican candidate.

As a conservative, I will vote for Romney, not McCain. He abandoned his party on almost all important principles except the war. McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy Amnesty, Gang of 14, etc. etc. Bush went nuts spending and supported the illegal immigrants.

McCain should run as Hillary's VP. He spent the last 8 years kissing up to the NYSlimes.

I will vote for Obama if comes down to them. Please select Hillary so she can be trounced by Romney.

BTW, does anyone expect CNN to report news or be journalistic. They lie and slant the "news" by commission and ommission. At least Fox commentators tell you it is their opinion, not news. CNN = Clinton News Network.

Go Romney. Otherwise, Obama can do no harm as a lightweight.

Who cares about the Clintons? Who cares what they say? There is no way they are winning and CNN continues to print Clinton story after Clinton story without telling anyone what the candidates positions on issues are or why we should vote for them!

All these good feedbacks from these news organizations justifies my vote for someone else.

How about appearing to be fair?

For a while, Huckabee was the darling of media. Now it's McCain's turn. I predict he will suffer in the polls as a result.

The idea that Hillary and war-hero John McCain are "very close" is so wrong on many points. including the fact that the Arizona senator has been vocally opposed to the practice of torture while Hillary Clinton supported it until last year–and Bill still does. (And I am not referring here to his conduct on the campaign trail, either.)

I believe Bill Clinton was telling the truth. McCain and Hillary are cut from the same cloth. Enough said.

Can't vote for Obama as I don't want to listen to Jessy Jackson or other black leaders get things all messed up whether OJ did or didn't do..

Hillary is an out and out socialist. Anyone who identifies themselves as conservatives ought to be hearing HUGE warning bells going off in their head as McCain starts to surge right now.
The problem the last two election cycles is choosing the lesser of two evils – if these two charlatans came out on top would we even have a choice? Maybe a choice of Male or Female but that is about it.

Bill Clinton has become everything he decried in his first presidential election campaign. His unilateral injection of race into the Democratic Nomination process will be viewed as a second tragic stain on his career..

God Bless George W. Bush!!! A true American, Thank you for the great years you have given us. I have made a ton of money and live in a big house on the lake...Thanks W. and God Bless America..

When I was a little girl my Mother, especially during election times, would always
say, "People who value their privileges above their principles – soon loses both."
I've always remembered these words of wisdom, especially during election
time. How true, how true.

They are close because they have the same vibration of dishonesty, moral compromise, and underhanded arrogance. I don't trust either one

I have to agree with S-positive about myskylark, yes, we are all entitled to our beliefs in what is taking place during the campaigning of the candidates. Yes, Billary is a great name for Hillary because it is obvisous that Hillary is riding on Bill's back to get the nomination. And, yes, Bill will be back in the White House directing Hillary. I commend the person who thought of the name Billary – I love it! It's not name calling – it's a new name to put on the ballot. Bill has a temper and when confronted to state his position about the "racial" thing, he all but blew his stack at the reporters. I am glad the reporters stand up against Bill. Bill needs to go home and do what he does best -NOTHING!

Remember myskylark, actions speak louder than words and who else is out there attaching the other candidate with "gender" and "race" as the issues. I am overjoyed to see that Obama kicked Hillary's butt in SC. But, Obama and all the other candidates have a long ways to go before being elected to the White House.

If Hillary's name is on the ballot, I will switch to another party for my vote.

If I wanted to vote for a liberal I would vote for Hillary. Why is it you democarts do not get why we not want McCaine?

Mccain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-illegal immigration, etc.
McCain's record speaks for him. He will never receive the Conservative Republican vote. What Clinton says is immaterial.

It was a Clinton "aide", not a Clinton "side". Are most journalists too lazy to proof-read their work?

TEAM McCAIN

Graham,Martinez,and now featuring Dr.Juan Hernandez.The two Senators are amnesty pushing members of team McCain while the other Dr.Hernandez is a frequent talking head we see on tv pushing for open borders making statements about Mexicans now and in the future should thingk Mexico first and wrote a book calling illegal immigrants from Mexico the NEW PIONEERS of America.He also is a duel citizen of Mexico and the U.S and was a former member of the Vicente Fox administration.

McCain has been and always will be a open borders guy he and the Dems have exactly the same position.McCain may be good at guarding the front door but he'll leave the backdoor the border WIDE OPEN.Border patrol have detained many Middle Easterners but countless others have gotten through of that you can be sure of.We will sit out 08 election if McCainis the nominee let's see him win without a lot of Republican votes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has everyone forgotten about the FBI files that the Clintons have? They have
no doubt plenty ln McCain which is why they want him. Not to mention all of
the money from the chinese,

Want more of the same? Vote: Clinton or McCain Both are Senators who have been instrumental in lowest performance ratings for the US Congress in history. They respectively represent what is wrong in our government from both parties.

the reason that it would be civilized is because they are both Democrats.
Geez i thought we had a two party system in this country.

Since Billary is willing to play the race card against Barack Obama, and Barack is willing to cover up his radically liberal positions with flowery, "inspiring" rhetoric, what makes you think either Billary or Obama would engage in a "love-fest" with McCain?

Colin Powell – Bush’s Secretary of State, Rod Paige – Bush’s Secretary of Education, Condoleezza Rice – Bush’s National Security Advisor and then Secretary of State, Elaine Chao – Bush’s Secretary of Labor, Norman Mineta – Bush’s Secretary of Transportation, Alphonso Jackson – Bush’s Secretary of HUD.....the list goes ON and ON!... Why can’t Liberals be more like President Bush, who has a very diverse cabinet that looks like America?

When I was a boy and then a teenager it was Democrats 'standing in the schoolhouse door' to prevent minority children from getting into the better schools.

Now that I'm old enough to qualify for AARP membership it is Democrats standing in the schoolhouse doors to prevent minority children from escaping the public schools.

Nothing has changed except the rhetoric. The Dems were the pro-slavery party in the 1800s, the party of the Klu Klux Klan in the first half of the 20th Century and in the dawn of a new millenia are still the Party of keeping minorities in 'their place'.

They say that conservatives respect tradition but there are few American traditions older than the racism of the Democratic Party.

Yes, they are close. They both opposed tax cuts, favor ILLEGAL Immigration, favor limiting free speech (McCain / Feingold, "Fairness" Doctrine), favor Kyoto like accords that will limit the growth of the American economy. Looks like Hillary wants to take us to socialism on a jet plane, and McCain on a train........same result, just a different speed!

If these two win I will write in Mickey Mouse for my vote. I refuse to vote for either.

Naw. It couldn't be that Billary would choose a McCain as a veep if he WASN'T the Republican nominee, could it? You know they aren't taking Obama onboard.
For that matter if Obama gets the nod, he could do worse than taking McCain onboard. Either of those could give a Guilini/Romney ticket a run for their money.

No thinking American puts any trust in anything Bill Clinton says. Same goes for his screeching wife. We see the future, while their campaign is stuck in the 20th century.

After viewing the option of McCain, Clinton, and a couple of others, I can only ask 'where's Richard Pryor – None of the Above.'
Surely Republicans and Democrats can find better. I am not impressed with any of the selections on either party. But, I know I do not want a clinton tag team nor a mccain.

I can't believe a word Bill Clinton says ever since he lied under oath to us. Why do people care what he says when he lies about everything???

You guys hit it on the head. McCain is the only candidate who has continually polled well nationally against both Democrat front runners. He was polling well even before his recent comeback. McCain would almost definitely defeat anyone the Democrats nominate. Clinton knows that he is absolutely DESPISED by the Republicans, and only his wife is despised more. By saying her and McCain are great friends, he is attempting to undermine McCain's rise as a pre-emptive strike. A Romney win equates to a democrat president. The neoconservative alliance that elected Bush is broken. Putting someone like Romney in will collect religious right and hard line neocon votes... that's it, and that can't win.

HillBilly and the MSM are pumping up mccain...enough reason for true conservatives to say no to mccain...message to the MSM stop trying to pick our GOP candidate for us!!!!!!!!

Are you going to block this one too? I know you did 'cause I can see the same article when i sign in using another 'user'.

WOW, i didn't know you can block my computer from going back to the article where i made an anti-republican comment!!! Amazing!!!

JEALOUSY COULD BE PART OF ALL THESE NOSES. WHERE ARE THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS? SPEAK OUT FOR THEM

HATERS! YOU HATE HILLARY SO MUCH. THIS LADY IS SO SMART. I ADMIRE HER COURAGE AND INTELLIGENCE. I AM NOT SURPRISED YOU CHOSE BUSH TWICE OVER MORE INTELLIGENT CANDIDATES. AMERICA IS ALWAYS OUT TO DAMAGE TALENTS. SO SO SAD!!

THE CLINTIONS ARE NOT AS EVIL AS YOU POTRAY THEM. PRESIDENT CLINTON IS ONE OF THE BEST PRESIDENTS AMERICA EVER HAD. THAT IS HOW WE SEE HIM, A GOOD NUMBER OF THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT AMERICANS.

PLEASE DON'T KILL THEIR SPIRITS. THESE ARE VERY GOOD PEOPLE.

Seriously... when I read this... I immediately thought... okay nice to know that the Clintons don't want McCain to get the nod!

McCain won't make it- he is too much like Shrillary. The fact that he is drawing praise from all the Libs, the Times, etc says it all. The GOP will get one of the others or there will really not be a choice......

Perhaps McCain and Hillary should come out of the closet concerning their special bond and hook up on the same ticket, then we could just cancel the election and moveon(.org)?

"I continue to love how Republicans hate John McCain." Don't get too excited. We happen to hate Hillary even more.

I am not voting for Hillary because she is for more government.

Oh please...it is so obvious that Clinton is trying to derail McCain because he's afraid he can beat Hillary. He knows that if he makes a statement like this, supporters of McCain will have second thoughts. We see through you Bill, and what we see on the way out of the other side, is a lot of deceit. But hey...it's what you are made of.

These will be"the good old days" if Hillary gets elected. She will have the government in every part of our lives. Our schools, our doctors, and even our marriages will be overseen by the gov't. If you think the post office is a joke, just wait until Big Brother takes over.

I'm a liberal and support Obama and believe he has a lot to offer our nation, now and in the future.

But if the Clintons and their political machine succeed in winning the Democratic nomination, then I along with lots of other people will vote for John McCain. Even if I don't share his politics. I respect McCain as an able, straighforward and patriotic man. The Clintons and their friends are in immoral and ruthless bunch and I never want to see them back in office.

Looks like John and Hillary will have seats next to each other in the Senate.

Obama is going to be the next president

good luck fellow americans you all get what you deserve if you dont vote for RON PAUL it will be Bush or CLINTON all over again cause KILLA McCAIN IS TRUE LIEING POLITICIAN AND A bush/media big buisiness puppet who will star ww3 so good luck with your votes

RINO Mccain is not a conservative!!! He is a LIBERAL just like all of the worthless, unamerican democrats.

Well, aren't they just the cutest snuggle bunnies. No wonder I am not attracted to Mcain's campaign style. Two senators racing for an executive position. Would you let two bag boys operate the grocery store if it was the city's only source of food?

No thanks, I will vote for one of the other candidates.

I knew it! I just KNEW IT! John McCain was a closet Democrat all along! And to think, I actually voted for him while in my foolish youth in Arizona. The evidence was there and I've been growing more and more suspicious. McCain-Fiengold, the gang of 14, all working against Republican and conservative principles. Then there was the flirtation with being John Kerry's running mate 8 years ago. And now he has bought into ozone-Gore's human-caused-global-warming liberal non-sense.

As a concerned Republican, please, PLEASE gentle Florida Republican readers, please send this guy packing next Tuesday and vote for Romney, the *REAL* Republican.

How about Hillary/McCain vs. Paul/Richardson?

Of course Hillary/McCain would dominate the center at first as the celebrities, but Paul/Richardson could win the right and the left for their anti-war stance and their advocacy of limited government, rational economics and social freedom. Hillary and McCain would scare off both the anti-war/empire voters (which now make up a majority of the population) and the anti-nanny staters. Hillary's corruption would offset McCain's integrity, sinking any Republican support, so they'd just win the elite, pro-war Democrats and lose.

I'd accept Obama/Richardson vs. McCain/Thompson with Paul running an indie campaign. That seems like a reasonable and possible matchup. Richardson would be a better running mate for Obama than either Edwards or Hillary (less baggage, more experience, better policies), and Thompson would restrain some of McCain's big government tendencies. Paul would keep it interesting by pulling both fiscal and social conservatives from McCain and anti-war voters from Obama.

Anyone with me on this one?

John McCain is the obvious choice for liberals. He seems to get a kick out of going against conservatives. Mitt Romney is the candidate conservatives can trust to lead them against Hillary Clinton.

It is very interesting to watch the antics of the candidates engaged in "Presidential" politics. They all say whatever it takes to get elected. However, the most depressing aspect of it all is to watch the mindless thrall like devotion to candidates such as Hillary Clinton and John McCain. The Clintons have established themselves as the most exquiite liars of the 20th and 21st centuries. The only reason Hillary has these followers is because she offers more hand outs to the most slovenly Americans who are unwilling to take resposibility for their circumstances. What ever happened to American values and self reliance?They live by the communist credo that teaches that a lie told often enough becomes the truth, ergo the baseless attacks on Barak Obama, who I believe is an honorable man. I am a conservative and I disagree with socialist policies. In a national contest between Obama and Mccain I would vote for none of the above. The liberal press is pandering to John Mcain because they know that on the national stage McCain will lose to the Democrat candidate. McCain is a liberal. God help us. We are drifting toward socialist fascism. Look at history for proof that the course we are on will lead to loss of what little freedom we still enjoy. We were once a great nation. God help us!

CNN is NO Lou Dobbs...what would Lou do? Vote NO for a Dem and NO McCain.

CNN will not let anyone but up comments that differ from their liberal agenda. If they're telling you and the Dems to vote for McCain, then wake up and DON'T DO IT.

Wake up America!

When Bill Clinton said that Hillary and John McCain are very close, he ment they were close to the door.

Willy is trying to get back his Slickness!!

The Republicans dont believe you Willy!! Stick to lying to Democrats about yoru wife and Obama, they still seem to respect you for some insane reason.

Neither Hilly nor Billy could ever run a "civilized campaign". They rely on the Clinton attack maching, a playbook they stole. No one is dirtier than the Clintons.

Watch them blame African Americans as they cut and run from SC withing a few hours of losing. They will try their usual divide and conqure, attack and claim innocence approach as long as Americans are foolish enough to fall for it.

Bill thinks everything is a love-fest.

These elections have brought forward and together some too enthusiastic and power-addicted people – it will get a lot more ugly before it better gets ignored.

But as for now my biggest complain about the primary is the comeback comparison to a Kindergarten, while a Kindergarten is a nice fun place to be in!

Understand me right, I love the election circus and all that racing going on, while I make good money with my predictions – but I miss the shame of old elite people when it gets too stupid.

Right now in SC
O: 52%
C: 32%
E: 16%

Edwards go home already!

The Clintonistas are absolute garbage, there's a real leech-like nature to the leader of the Clintonistas.

Some say hate has no place in American polictics. But when you consider what the Clintonistas stand for - insatiable lust for power, pathological dishonesty, contempt for anyone's needs other than their own, contempt for simple decency - the kind that requires an ex-president to leave the White House after a maximum of 8 years, leave Washington itself and never return - perhaps the right kind of hate directed at the right kind of people is healthy.

We as a nation must dedicate ourselves to ensure that the Clintonistas will NEVER again be allowed anywhere near 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. again.

First Bill tells us that Obama for president is a fairy tail. Now he tells us that the most civil campaign will be Hillary and McCain. Next he will tell us what to eat and when to go asleep. This man just won't retire.......he must have some interns waiting for him at the White House......

After seeing that picture in the Drudge Report of 'Her Hillariness' and McCain looking at each other (which linked to this page), some song lyrics came to mind:

"Me and Mrs. 'C'...We gotta thing...Goin' on!!!"

LOL!! Sure she can work with Republicans – she voted for the war!!

And if you believe she isn't going to play dirty politics if she is the nominee, you are even more naive than I was when I voted McGovern in 1972.

McCain, the war hero, earned our respect, but NOT our votes.
He is wrong on immigration, wrong on tax cuts, wrong on campaign finance, wrong on judicial nominees, and wrong on Guantanamo Bay.
The McCain/Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration Act left our borders open and threatened to overwhelm our schools, hospitals, jails, and budgets.
McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts…twice! He cannot learn that cutting tax rates stimulates economic activity which increases government revenue.
The McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Act inhibits free speech rights during the final days before elections.
McCain’s “Gang of 14” blocked the up-or-down votes for judicial nominees.
McCain stated that Guantanamo prisoners should have access to attorneys and courts. They are POW’s–not common criminals!
Finally, the NYT endorsed McCain. If he is their man; then, Republicans, you can be sure he is not yours.
Vote—but do not vote for John McCain.

I'm from AZ, but John McCain let us down on the illegal immigration issue. So now we are for Mitt Romney. We can't trust McCain.

The name Billary is fitting and earned. Is Bill running, or is Hillary? Answer both are, both will have plenty of power to use and abuse. Billary for president – sell us out to the Chinese and the Saudis once again.

Clinton is going to lose south carolina. Her best hope is for second place. Obama is going to win.

McCain's two sons are serving this country. As a pilot, John McCain proudly served. He undeniably loves the United States. He respects the rule of law and understands the complexities and dangers facing our nation. I, for one, will sleep a lot better at night knowing that President John McCain's steady hand is at the helm.

Let's give him a chance. He's earned it.

John Edwards, John Edwards, John Edwards, he's the man for President of the United States of America.

Can we all just agree that this article is great.
"First among equals", that would be the apt title for this race, if these two meet.

Kudos to democracy. God bless.

The most civilized presidential elections were for Washingtons first and second
term of office........he ran unopposed.

This is not a gripping political story. Senators of very different political persuasions have long been friends or admirers of one another throughout American history.

McCain is conservative. He is just not so strident in his conservatism that he feels the need to tick off every Democrat he knows just for fun. Many congressional leaders in both parties regularly throw red meat to the extreme wings of their respective parties by publically bashing the other side.

All this says is that McCain does not do that.

I wish more policiticians in both parties were like that.

John McCain is the most electable Republican in November and the conservative most qualified to lead.

While I think Hillary would beat McCain in the general, he is the most dangerous Republican she could face. Bill Clinton knows this, so he is clearly trying to deter Republicans from voting for him in the primaries by saying the Senators are "close." Smart move, though I don't think it'll work. Bill has always been a much better politican than statesman...

People wake up and smell the roses.
In 2000 and 2004 the country voted for George Bush because he was the one "we most likely would enjoy a beer with"?....No experience but nice guy!

Are we still so foolish? We need someone with substance NOT fluff. An original.
Not someone good at paraphrasing great ideas. Someone who stands up quickly
when knocked down – not a whiner. Lets get with the program!

We are blessed to have outstanding candidates but we really need someone with
a track record of success. A hard worker with a viable plan.

myskylark, your blog shows how dumb you and the likes of you are. If AMERICA is left in your hands, we will become a third world country overnight with china and india around. You just don't get it...

GO ROMNEY! GO ROMNEY!

It's not going to be an issue. No matter which of the frontrunners win oether nomination, the Republicans will win, becasue none of the Democratic frontrunners are even slightly electable.

Thank goodness For Bush's Prescription drug program. Hillary can afford all her Prozak and PMS drugs if elected.or, the whole country will need them while she is in office!

with that statement–i now were hillary stands,she is a washed down republican and will help only the rich and powerful. obama 08!!!!!!!!

What experience does Hillary have...? Failed healthcare attempt.... and the Presidents wife... impressive... lol

Finally, a potential for a civil campaign. A lot can be accomplished when opponents attack ideas and not the person. It's nice to see that McCain and Clinton can actually sit together and be friends. That's refreshing!

Why are they sucking up to a creep who told a repulsive joke about their daughter and Hillary? Disgusting.

I would prefer a president I can look in the eye with respect. Neither Clinton fits the bill, Bill.

The biggest tradgedy of a McCain/Hillary race is that party leadership on BOTH sides would have once again IGNORED the wishes of the American people regarding Illegal Immigration. I hope that the American people and particularly the republican voters begin speaking LOUD AND CLEAR once again to their politicians on this issue. It is a national tragedy! Let's start by telling John McCain NO WAY on Jan. 29th in Florida!

Any democrat can do what democrats do, offer more access to government dependence and therefore increase their political power. Can anyone think of one piece of legislation a democrat has written that was designed to get people off of their dependence on government?

Why wouldn't McCain and Hillary! like each other? They have the same policies, after all.

The whole field of candidates sucks once again.

Like, what about Barack Hussein Obama ? He like, seems like a nice guy. I mean like, why aren't the rest of the like, young people like, voting for him. It's like, some of you like, like Hillary Clinton. Like, Give Obama a break, he is like, the first serious black canadite.

Hillary – Obama – Florida Sen. Mel Martinez endorsed John McCain = AMNESTY & UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!

What a joke you people are to support Multiculturalism

MYSKYLARK, YOUR RIGHT THE CLINTONS HAVE DONE SO MUCH FOR THE MORAL VALUE OF THIS COUNTRY, WHY ARE WE PICKING ON THEM. THEY DON'T LIE OR CHEAT. STOP PICKING ON THEM RIGHT!!

That Hillary Clinton and John McCain are very close is no news.
They are both for the war; they both voted to support Bush at every turn;
and they have both been posturing for years voting not their conscious but their futue electability. So thanks Bill for confirming what we all knew already.

Abortion is murder and as long as the Democratic Party supports this killing of the innocent unborn children I will not any Democrat for President. If Bill Clinton were not elected Justice Ruth G would not been appointed to The Supreme Court.

Folks,

Hillary can't win against McCain and this is the only point that matters. Each will win their base. The battle will be over the middle. Hillary is seen as a liberal; McCain as a moderate. And Hillary has the higest negatives of any candidate.

Now imagine the debates. Well Hillary, we both supported the war, so why do you want to irrationally pull troops out now?

So, independents will vote for McCain in droves and the Republican base will rally around him for national security reasons.

If you're a true Democrat, do your party a favor – put down your blindness and vote for a candidate that can beat McCain.

At least Obama can say; well sir, I never voted for your war! In stead of well I kinda voted for the war, but i didn't really mean it and now I want to take it back and pull all our troops out.

Tying McCain to Hillary is frankly BRILLIANT politics. The core GOP voters despise Hillary and successfully linking McCain to her can only boost other less electable candidates.

The coup de grace is that what he is saying is probably true in that both Hillary and McCain tend to be centrist politicians who would govern close to the middle.

Of course George Bush claimed to be a "uniter" as well and we all know how that turned out.

Birds of a feather stick together.

I have been watching with interest. It never surprises me how Hiliary can talk out of both sides of her mouth at the same time. I am very impressed with the Barak Obama. Im not sure if its Hilary of Bill that is running for the office of President. Maybe the ballot should read "Biliary" the Clintons. Hiliary appears to react to what the polls are saying and changes strategies with the polls. I do think she will say whatever she has to say to get elected. She is very divisive. I will continue to watch with interest.

Senator Hillary Clinton's campaign received contributions from a Chinese man by the name of Hsiu who was a crook and didn't return the money until she/he was exposed. That is not a crock! Clinton's have been found with their hands in the "cookie jar" any number of times. A Clinton dynasty for America would be disastrous. In fact I would say no more dynasties, either democrat or republican. Bush has proven himself unworthy when he has a private deal with Vincete Fox to allow illegal imigration and amnesty for millions of Mexican ex-patriots. Mexico needs to face its own corrupt system and be forced to provide jobs and meaningful ewnmployment for its citizens.

I believe that this is a shrewd move on Bill's part, designed more to anger the Republicans than to charm the Democrats. Hillary's "experience" platform would be worthless against McCain but will hold up against Romney. If Bill can successfully link Hillary with McCain, McCain's chances of winning the Republican primary will be significantly diminished and Hillary would be facing a more "beatable" Republican candidate.

I've been trying to make this comment since yesterday, but the mods haven't accepted it. Why not?

HILLARY VS MCCAIN

A SAD CASE OF "YOU SCRATCH MY BACK AND I'LL SCRATCH YOUR."

BUT, IT WILL BACKFIRE, YOU KNOW HILLARY AS WELL AS I DO.

SHE KNOWS MCCAIN IS NOT A STRONG CANDIDATE FOR THE REPUBLICANS AND SHE KNOW THE VOTERS WANT A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE – WHY NOT? WE HAD 8 YEARS OF REPUBLICANS, NOW IT'S THE DEMOCRATS TURN.

HOPEFULLY VOTERS WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE – NOT THE PARTY!

LISTEN, LISTEN AND LISTEN SOME MORE AND DO RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN – YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WHAT YOU WILL LEARN. TAKES NOTES DURING THE REBATES AND CAMPAIGNING AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF WHO SAID WHAT AND HOW IT WAS SAID. "LIES BEGOT LIES" IF ENOUGH LIES ARE TOLD, THEN THE STORY GET TWISTED. THEN IT BECOMES HE SAID, YOU SAID, I SAID.

BEST WISHES TO ALL DURING THIS MESSED UP 2008 ELECTION

he was talking about their political policies AND his attraction to them

i like romney and huckabee but my fellow republicans have got to wake up! only mccain can take on the clinton machine! we must make sure the clintons dont ever take the white house again!

McCain is just a democrate in sheeps clothing. If he or Clinton were to be elected president, the "Demon"crate agenda would be the goal. We do not need a marxist such as Clinton in charge. More intrusive government, crushing taxes, and a coward mentality in the defense of the country.

Look, the reason Romney will crush Clinton and McCain would lose to here is because McCain has only one issue, the war, a position that Romney shares. Other than that McCain can't campain against her on illegal immigration, conservative judges (possibly the most important issue), freedom of speech, strict constitutionalism. McCain cannot link her to the liberal media, because he is also linked there, etc. Wake! The only people who support McCain that are paying any attention are Liberals, moderates (see Liberals or RINOs) and Independants (that's also another word for Liberals, . . they just don't know it) Independants are very smart decerning voters . . . . . .just ask them!!!!!!!!. They're not going to let conervatives push them around, even if it means ruining the country. Same with LIBERtarians. . .

For everyone making a big deal about this, he said they respect each other. I don;t know of any reason to believe otherwise. I have seen them in the past, even before they were running for Peresident, and they always seemed amicable to each other.

God forbid we actaully have a civil and reasonable debate about how to address the issues.

Oh thats right, then CNN would have nothing to write about, as they do not seem to know what the issues are. while we keep asking about the economy, the war, etc. CNN keeps reporting on race and gender. The one thing I will give Bill clinton credit for is calling them out on it.

When Barack was asked during a debate "Do you think Bill Clinton was the first black president?" there is no point in watching any further debates moderated by CNN. How does that question help voters make a decision on candidates? It doesn't. It is a question intended to inflame and cause animosity between the candidates. Then CNN sits back and waits for the blowup to happen so they can run to their cameras like giddy schoolgirls spreading the latest gossip.

obvious that the clintons dont want john mccain to be the republican nominee as they will get clobbered that way. so bill's comment is to dissuade republicans from nominating mccain. the clintons taking on romney is a walk in the park. even barack would find beating the hell out of romney is a piece of cake so at this stage the clintons take the gullible ones for another spin!

I almost forgot....the state of Arkansas was before and still is after their tenure as governor at the bottom of almost every category. I think it's time for America to focus on uniting our country and not driving divisive wedges between party lines and elect someone that has everyone's best interest at heart.

McCain and Hilary are in love? Democrats need to nominate Barack Obama or Edwards otherwise America will be in deeper trouble. Every Republican secretly loves Hilary and are foaming at the mouth trying to get her the DFL nomination.

People, we have had a Bush or a Clinton in high office now for 16 years (Bush Sr VP). What does it take to bring the kind of change that we need in America?

Obama, Edwards, or Ron Paul. Don't vote for the establishment!!

BILL should let his wife do her own talking.

HIllary should start to speak for herself.

Bill is a cool guy, but this is not his fight to win. Hillary needs to pull her own weight and do her own talking. Otherwise, she should not be running for office of president.

Make you wonder if she up to the task of being president.

Im not sure why everyone is saying Mccain can't win the presidency. If Mccain wins the nomination he wins the race. He gets democratic and independent votes, not just republicans. The other candidates only get their own party's and when the real election comes they'll have to try to get the people in the moderate political center. Mccain already has the middle, he'll steal democrats away from their candidate. Everyone wants "change" but only Mccain steps across party lines at the cost of his political career. He always does it because its good for America. I guess by change everyone wants another Republican/Democrat that is trying not to offend their "base".

Mccain 08

Come, come now. Can't you Clinton-haters get a life?

Oh, my. The Clinton's so ruthless! As if the other campaigns aren't just as ruthless. This stuff is nothing compared to the GOP slime machine. The so-called code words and hidden meanings are really a joke. If Hillary says "Good morning" what she really means is "Vote for me – I'm the white candidate." And the Obama supporters and the anti-Clinton press screams about it from the rooftops. (The same press that was anti-Gore and anti-Kerry, remember?)

Last point, what's with you lamebrains with the "Billary" bit?

I though that juvenile level of name-calling was the patented formulaof the GOP – like Democrat Party instead of Democratic Party. Have you noticed that John McCain , out-of-the-blue, has started to say Democrat Party?.

If Clinton supporters were to make up some stupid name about Obama and Michelle, they would be labeled as ruthless and racist.

The level of your arguments against the Clinton's are bogus, press-driven, clueless, and paranoid. Other than that, your comments are just wonderful.

Many comments made on this site are so juvenile and petty.Making personal attacks due to race,age ,or appearance is really lowering yourself and a sign that shows your lacck of intelligence on candidates or what they stand for.I woukd like to have more talk online about actual policy over school ground he said she said bickering .I have more to say but feel it would be a waste of my time.

John McCain and Jimmy Carter, two peas in a pod.

Will Hillary nominate Bill to V.P.???

That statement by Willy is the kiss of political death for John McCain

What really gives me cause for concern is that someone from this current group of presidential hopefuls will actually occupy the White House. They all have bags of ambition, but not one has a vision. Obama seems to relate to a lot of people who are seeking change but look at his record. Where is the change? His adventure in the U.S. Senate is lackluster with no record of achivement. Hillary only has enough experience to locate the light switches in the White House. The Republicans are equally as lackluster. With his penchant for wearing lily while undergarments to remind him of his faith, Romney is as questionable as any other Republican. Ron Paul is scary. He clearly wants America to abandon Israel. This clearly unacceptable. He wants to abolish the I.R.S. etc. which is long overdue and shows that he has the distinction of being right and wrong at the same time. He's an educated man with a medical degree. But he has his head up his rectum so much that he should be a proctologiist. Not presidential material. To make this short, none of them has my vote. I voted for Newt Gingrich on myabsetee ballot with a great deal of satisfaction knowing that my valuable vote was spent on the best man for the job that wasn't running.

Those who hate Bill Clinton are going to continue to hate him. The republicans do not like Bill Clinton because of two reasons. 1) He is the most successfull demoncratic president. His eight years was the best – - – balancing the budget, etc. after George Bush Sr. drove the country into recession. George Bush Jr has driven our country in another recession. Two things the two Bushes have in common, war and a bad economy.

But for some demoncrats to talk so evil of Bill Clinton, it makes me sick to the stomach because they are not true demoncrats.

Obama is a replublican in disguise. We all know that. He is receiving the bulk of his finance from the replublicans because they can't defeat the clintons so they are using him. And that is why he is proudly speaking about Reagan and how the republicans have been the party with ideas over the past 15 years. What did Reagan do for the blacks Obama? How dumb of you to please your republican supporters?

I am a black. We had a Black Mayor in New Orleans. He did nothing for the Black people. Bill has fought for the blacks, part of why the republicans hate him. For those demoncrats that hate Bill, you are a replublican in disguise. All true republicans like Reagan. All true demoncrats will always love bill.

I want to puke.

Kind of sad. I used to like John McCain

That statement by slick Willy is the kiss of political death for John McCain

Well, speaking of civilized, it's interesting to me how vile (and unfair) the comments are about Hillary Clinton. Just what is that about? When people play "witty" games like calling her Billary, they only reflect political immaturity and a lack of any grasp on issues of substance. Hillary Clinton is prepared to be president, and she will be a great one.

I'm glad President Clinton said his wife and Senator McCain are good friends, but I don't want to hyperventilate through out the general election like I have been through the primaries (given if Clinton and McCain win the nominations). I want the democrats to dominate the republicans, the politeness might be a good breather given the harsh democratic environment recently seen, but this needs to be judgment day. The Republican ideas have resulted not only in the monetary failure of America, but that same group echoed a message that yielded a disconnect between Americans and their government.

I find it ridiculous that most of you think Hillary has any experience on anything presidential in nature. She was the first lady. Not a secretary of state or some important position that matters.
The whole idea is completely absurd.

This election is rigged, period!

"Civilized campaign", To paraphrase a former president, it depends on what your definition of "civil" is. Anybody that survived the Hanoi Hilton will have no problem with Clinton, Inc.

oh so she does love up to republicans... Thats exactly what I thought. It's more of the dynasty crap. We need new blood in the white house. Not a bush or clinton.

I don't see Bill and Hillary as any more dishonest than Obama. For pete sake, it appears no one can say anything, no matter how mild, that some nut (or a whole sack of them) doesn't make something terrible out of it. How can they run against each other if they don't say what their differences are? I think most of the Clinton haters are just blindly repeating what they have read in other posts here. Why don't you read up on the good works the Clintons have done. Those who were adults in Clinton's 8 years in the presidency know all the good they did for our country. Things were good. I am ready for things to be good again, for the next 8 years, and I think Hillary is the one to do it, if it can be done. She will have an incredible mess to clean up. Go, Hillary!

This is clearly a move by the Clintons to undermine McCain's support in the Republican party. The mantra "McCain is basically a democrat" is the best way to stop McCain from winning the nomination in the republican primaries. They are seriously worried about McCain for one simple reason, he's closer to Republicans than Hillary, so he picks up 99% of the Republican vote (the "as long as it isn't Hillary" vote), but he is close enough to a lot of Democrats that Hillary may not pick up 99% of the Democrats.

Centrist candidates are a nightmare for a divisive candidate like Hillary. The best way to beat them is in their primaries, when their own party members might be tempted to vote for someone closer to the right. Heed my words. Clinton vs. McCain results in four more years of Republicans, as does Obama vs. McCain. Democrats clearly aren't going to nominate a centrist candidate (big mistake, in my opinion), so they need McCain to lose the nomination. Clinton vs. Huckabee or Romney is much better for the Dems.

CNN
Clinton
News
Network

Hillary is hated by too many people to ever have a chance in the general election. A vote for Hillary in the primary is a vote for Romney in the general election (as he can clearly outspend McCain, unfortunately).

Barb you really are a liberal if you believe a Real Ruplican would vote for Obama! Why don't you just move to Canada and really make yourself happy!

The funny thing about a Hillary and McCain is that in the last debate McCain tock a stab at Hillary by saying that her idea on iraq was dum because she was going to show the white flag and then again people say there are good friends when McCain talks about Hillary like that. AND BY THE WAY HATERS HILLARY CLINTON IS GONG TO WIN

Could this be more transparent? Any republican voter with a clue will see through this as an attempt to discredit the Clinton's most dangerous opponent.

I keep wondering why the MSM, which is pulling for any Demo to win the WH, also are pulling for McCain. So lets see now, Clintons want McCain, the MSM wants McCain, whats their collective motives. The MSM beats up on Gov Romney, even to the extents of inventing secret MIC's at the Debate. My guess that Pres Bill Clinton sees an outsider, with little or no baggage tied to Washington, as the biggest threat. If Romney is running there will be no "its the economy stupid" ads run by the Clintons.

The Clintons would destroy McCain. They would relive the Keating Five controversy, and paint him as a low energy old man. That would be the end to the "closeness."

I would vote for a Clinton/Macain ticket in a flash!

This is Clinton at his best. The purpose of this statement is to anger the right-wing of the Republican Party just as it seems McCain is heading towards being the front-runner for the nomination. This is Clinton's way of trying to hamper McCain's bid right now.

Teresa, I thought Obama keep telling people what his views are all the time. Did you ever listen to him at all?

If McCain is the Republican nominee this country is going even further down the tubes. It wouldn't matter, they're both left wing nut jobs.

This is scorch and burn strategy. Everything WJC does is calculated. He threw this out there to damage McCain who has little republican support in hopes that the ever so fickle "independents" and the old school Blue Dog Joe Lieberman democrats will file back into Hillary's camp. McCain will not be the republican nomination. He doesn't stand a chance and his supporters will have to go somewhere... They are not the Move-On/Code Pink/Cindy Sheehan brand of liberals and realize that although he's charming, Obama doesn't know anything. That won't stop romantic juveniles, Howard Dean supporters, and other uninformed (and highly motivated) coalitions from voting for him. If he makes it that far he will be eviscerated in a political debate against *any* of the current republican candidates.

Oh Dear..Is Ugle Bill trying to deliver the kiss of death on McCain..run Johnny ..run..

Go to your library, pick up his book. Faith of My Fathers, read it and decide if he's the person you want as our President.

As an 81 year old combat veteran of WW II i.e., Sicily, Iwo Jima and Okinawa all I can say is the United States is in its descendency and you better learn to speak Chinese and like rice and fish heads.

Another plot by the Clintons. They would love to run against John McClain! It would be an easy victory for the TWO of them!

Ya know I just bet McCain might have a thing or two to say about how close he and Hillary are. McCain's mother might tell us for sure. But then we don't want Mad Dog Bill coming after her now do we?

By the way I haven't seen Hillary's mom lately. She mush have stashed her somewhere since the tears worked so well in New Hampshire. You remember now don't you...Hillary was bringing her mom, her sunday school teacher and the like out to tell us how "sweet" she was. But then old Bill got involved and wow what a transformation...Oh that's right she found her voice...she sure did....BILL.

You think Bill might be lying again? I don't know...McCain and Hillary have such similar views on troop strength and the war in Iraq now don't they? Hillary did vote to send them in didn't she? But I heard she didn't understand what she was voting for. McCain has been there and spoke to them. I believe...now I'm just saying...I believe his views are just a tiny bit different from Hillary's. So, Guess that means Bill is lying again...go figure.

I just bet Ole Bill is starting his dirty politics on McCain saying Hillary and he are so close. What is it they say...keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Bill's going to try and make some independent voters think Clinton has McCain's virtues and at the same time try and sway white independents in South Carolina that might vote for Obama to McCain. What a devil that ole Bill is anyway. Divide and conquer.

As for me I'm a white Independent for Obama "08. It isn't working all that good Bill.

THANK YOU THANK YOU BILL! Now Romney has it for sure! Finally the truth comes out! McCain is in league with the ENEMY!!

No matter who wins nothing will change. The entrenched corrupt machine that is our federal government will charge on until we go the way of Rome and Great Britain. China looms on the horizon and will not be stopped.

The reason there is such a "Love Fest" between General Hillary and Maverick
Mc Cain is because they are both Dumbocrats! The maverick is running as a conservative because Hillary and Obama were too strong for him to run as a Dumbocrat. With so many ignorant conservatives thinking he is the savior, I think the move that will be made is if either one wins the presidency the other one will be the VP because they both agree on the same Dumbocrat polices that will destroy our country. There will be not vote cast by me should either one of them become the nominee, as I am not going to contribute to my country's demise.

backbone,

What do you find uncivilized about my comment? Is it because I used the word "crock"? What would I do if I were in Hillary's position? Well, I would never have done or said many of the things she has, so I will never be in her position. She is an intelligent, accomplished politician, and one who I used to admire. She has been through a lot in her life and has clearly had the strength to overcome that adversity and become very successful. That being said, I have lost my admiration for her because in my opinion she cares more about winning the race than about the state of the Democratic party or the state of this nation.

You have the right to believe that Obama is the bad guy and Hillary and Bill are victims and vote accordingly–that's what freedom is all about. However, it's my opinion that two people as politically brilliant as Hillary and Bill Clinton are not victims in any way. Everything they say and do in the public arena, when the cameras are around, is a political maneuver. I appreciate their Democratic ideas, I agree with many of their positions, and I commend them for all they have acheived in their careers. But I find them to be increasingly uncivilized when it comes to the way they operate the campaign, and I feel they have exploited many of the social tensions in this country for political gain. That is not a civilized way to behave, especially for a former president and first lady.

Let's be honest, though. You and I are different people, we have different perspectives, and we view this election through separate paradigms. But isn't it possible that the truth lies somewhere in between?

I'm plenty capable of a civilized debate, and I'm sure you are too. The problem seems to be that many of the candidates are not.

McCain is an old man suffering from long years locked up by the N. Vietnamese. His mind is clouded by that abuse. He should go to an old Vet's home and tell his war stories. Hillary is on an ego trip and could not demand respect from world leaders especially in the Middle East. The only viable candidate is Paul and he doesn't stand a chance. God bless America in these end times.

There is no limit as to how far or how low CNN will stoop in their effort to turn Republicans against McCain or split the Party. They don't leave a stone unturned and make sure every little tidbit, no matter how trivial, gets top billing . But then you have been the Clinton News Network so long, what else can we expect??

They are both owned by the same group of multinational corporations. Same goes for Obama. Don't listen to the glowing box.

John McCain's respect for Hillary says volumes about who he is. McCain is a RINO.

IF HILLARY OR MCCAIN GET ELECTED WE WILL ALL BE LOSING OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH. BOTH OF THEM ARE FACISTS. THEY WILL SUCK EVERY DIME OUT OF THE COUNTRY SO THEY CAN HAVE THERE POWER. SOMEDAY HILLARY AND BILL WILL BE PUNISHED FOR ALL THE DISGRACE THEY HAVE CAUSED THE UNITED STATES.

The Clintons get uglier and uglier as each day goes by. The fact is they ARE ruthless, divisive and polarizing. They're just like the Bushes. Bill and Bush Sr. are buddies. It IS dynastic. I've read a lot of comments about McCain being a liberal. As a liberal democrat, I think that's laughable. It's also a farce to call Hillary a liberal. I am a liberal Democrat. Dennis Kucinich was the ONLY true liberal candidate and now he's out of the race. I will never under any circumstances vote for Hillary Clinton. For me, Barack is the way to go, even tho Edwards is more liberal-sounding, I believe Obama does have the ability to cross party lines. I have heard a lot of Repubs saying they'd consider voting for him! Imagine someone like me voting for the same man as a Republican! Now
THAT's what this country needs.

I think it's absurd that people think Hillary is the bully of this election.

If Obama would stop criticizing his opponents, we could possibly find out what his views are.

I have yet to know.

CNN has run this story all day. It is apalling how you play the games the Clintons want day after day.

You have run stories that will minimize any win Obama has in S.C. Racism is alive and well in America and many of the media whites perpetuate the conspiracy.

It is shamefull and I hope when you all look back at this race history will expose all of you as still racist in the 21st century and thereby lost the opportunity to change the world for the better.

The Clintons had their turn its time for them to move on.

Karen L. Reimer, Mt. Bethel, PA - well said. You have it right. Regards.

I think the Dems are scared to death about running against McCain, that's why the NY Times endorsed him and Slick Willy is praising him. With comments like those the Republican base will run from McCain in even heavier numbers than now (the friend of my enemy is my enemy). The benefactor of this will be Mitt Romney and although I like him too, the Dems will beat him like a drum in November and we'll be stuck with a Clinton for at least 4 more years. Terrible.

Of course she's close with McCain; she IS a republican! Who are kidding here? She = republican values and status quo. Sorry kids, wake up and smell the fresh air. We don't live in the 90's anymore.

//"Not a dimes worth of difference between Hillary and Mc Cain." Since when does NY Times select our next President; both Washington to the core...we need fresh ideas... Mit's my choice!

yeah right ...go ahead and play the race and the gender card CNN. the clinton news network

Can you say "THE BIG FIX IS IN" boys and girls.We need an Independent that is not controlled by the power brokers and FAST.

Lets face it McCaine is a Democrat, so if you want Socialism vote for either one! Lets get even with those greedy people making over $50,000 a year.

I don't claim to be well versed in politics. I'm 72 years old and have always voted in every election, local, state, and national. I find it interesting that each candidate vying for the presidential nomination accuses the other candidates of lying and negative ads. The south Louisiana Cajun wonders if the nation and the candidates expect to be able to run for political office and not be the subject of negative ads. If the answer is yes, they shouldn't be in the race. What are they going to say? "Obama is wonderful but vote for me? Hilary is great and smart but vote for me?" I don't believe the U.S. will elect a woman or a black man. Why is John Edwards being ignored as though he's not even in the race He's MY man!!

When is someone going to ask Hillary or Bill the burning question that is on my mind as well as countless others? What did Bill do with his very famous cigar?

Hillary would win against McCain – as she is the leftist who would garner the support of her party and Republican "moderates" (wimps). McCain is and would be a disaster for the Republican Party if nominated. We might as well cede the Presidency to Hillary.

Clinton vs McCain:

Clinton-Democrat vote=50%
Republican vote=0%

McCain-Republican vote=85%
Democrat vote=50%

Democrats win. Vote Mitt!

Rude snobs americans would only be civilized if they vote for us.

Wow. Ya think we'll be able to choose between two entrenched insiders who are such good friends? It would be tough to decide.

On the other hand we might just STAND FOR CHANGE.

OBAMA 2008!

McCain's not out to "prove" anything. His comments in South Carolina, and the way he's stood up for his beliefs show that he's about getting things done for the people of this country, as opposed to running for prestige/power.

He's the only candidate that I can see uniting a large part of the country.

Here in Florida I know many Democrats that registered themselves in December as Republicans to vote for McCain. I think that the Democrat Pary intentionally created this situation to inject confusion into the political process. Surely this thing happen all over but not on such a scale as you will see here in Florida. Pay attention to the number of votes Republicans get in their primary.

For everyone making a big deal about this, he said they respect each other. I don;t know of any reason to believe otherwise. I have seen them in the past, even before they were running for Peresident, and they always seemed amicable to each other.

God forbid we actaully have a civil and reasonable debate about how to address the issues.

Oh thats right, then CNN would have nothing to write about, as they do not seem to know what the issues are. while we keep asking about the economy, the war, etc. CNN keeps reporting on race and gender. The one thing I will give Bill clinton credit for is calling them out on it.

When Barack was asked during a debate "Do you think Bill Clinton was the first black president?" there is no point in watching any further debates moderated by CNN. How does that question help voters make a decision on candidates? It doesn't. It is a question intended to inflame and cause animosity between the candidates. Then CNN sits back and waits for the blowup to happen so they can run to their cameras like giddy schoolgirls spreading the latest gossip.

THINK PEOPLE!

Please don't let this country continue it's downhill slide. Another four years in the hands of the Republicans is not to be considered and if the wrong Democrat is nominated, you will be handing the election to the Republicans on a silver platter. It's too important for our country to let personal issues color the overall ills that this country is facing.

If the two of them (Hillary and McCain) can get along, and run a civilized election, then maybe thats what America needs. Its going to take someone getting along instead of all this seeing who can run the other one down the lowest.
When I think about it, during this campaign so far, I can't recall any deragatory remarks made by Hillary or McCain directed at each other. I do believe that McCain should be our next President, and wouldn't it be nice for others to see a civilized ran election finally?
At least they respect each other and don't attack the other.

who would you rather vote for? Someone who said she didn't support the war in Iraq and voted for it, or someone who said he does support the war and voted for it?
Wake up America, these two people have the same policies.

Clearly Bill and Hill fear Romney in the general.......

Right on! Since when did a hotly contested race create new ideas other than personal negative attacks!! I'm all for a civilized presidential race...its what this country needs desperately!!

Go HIllary & McCAIN!!!!!!!!

It´s amazing how Mrs. Clinton has gone somehow arrogant, unlinked to simple TRUTH and lowering the real discussion on USA issues to personal agressions!!

And you critisize African, Middle-East and Latin American voting processes...

Election of Mr. Bush was always uder some suspection... I can´t immagine what American Elections will look like this year!!!

Enjoy!!

You guys are all wrong. It will be Mc Cain and Jeb Bush, or Hillary and Mc Cain, Or Obama and Hillary or Hillary and Obama, or Rommney and Jeb Bush. There I think I am right. John Edwards will be Attorney General and run for President in 2012 and then agin in 2016 and then agin in 2020. He has been running for president for eight years now.

Tell Bill Clinton Thanks, now I can scratch McCain off my list.

I am shocked at the question of support for Obama from the African American vote.
W/o sounding cliche remember "The Dream", the one that we talk about every year in January and February. The"Dream to not be judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character. Remember "The Dream" the fierce urgency of now. Remember "We Shall Overcome", Remember "The Dream", free at last free at last thank God almighty we are free at last. This being said I am sure as a child of the civil rights movement that the reality of Dr. King's "Dream" did not include his people voting separate in a race that included a white woman and a black man. A white woman who has enjoyed the spoils of life and a black man who i am sure had to take detours and meet several road blocks to get to the mountain top. Every year this woman ensures her piece of the black pie by attending major events honoring fallen leaders and making pitiful attempts along with her husband to "Preach". Smart move, we fell for it. For every African American who decides to vote and not vote for Obama remember you can't scream racism anymore. I am shocked and appalled that in the midst of changing the playing field and evening it up for all races black america blinked. Welcome John Mccain, to the white house. Now correct me if I am wrong but Arizona still does not celebrate Dr King's birthday.

The Clinton political machine would grind to a halt. After all, how to you trash an American hero? They have no core issues, only the politics of personal distruction to put the other guy down, nothing to distinquish themselves as worthy of the office.

Anyone surprised that much of Clinton and McCain supporters can go either way?They are both war-mongers hellbent to occupy Iraq, ready to bomb Iran, itching to invade Pakistan, under any pretext. In their own words, they are proud to be ready to outdo Bush / Cheney line of foreign policies.

This country hasn't hit the bottom yet by a long shot.

Here's a question.

Whn Obama says "No Bush"

What is he referring too?

George or Hillary?

In a country that is supposed to be an emblem for democracy...
*Less than 50% of people having the right to vote, do so on election day
*That amount to about 26% of such category actually deciding who the next president of the US will be
* Nepotism reigns when we have only a Bush-Clinton-Bush administration!!
(thank god the rest of the Bush clan decided to focus on reaping in money with the Big Oil profits ()

That leaves a playing field verging towards 2 big players, who use Rhetorics as usual!

Wake up America!!!

Go to Vote, walk the talk and gain the worldwide respect it once had.
Stop making this Country the laughing stock of the rest of the world.
It is disappointing to see that the new world powers seem more appealing Administrations, and to certain extent more civilized and democratic than US.

Some people don't even read the article. When is it wrong to respect someone you disagree with? I have friends who disagree with me, so what, I should hate them? Obama people only know how to copy and paste. Why else would an article that has nothing to do with Obama, have the same comments as an article about Obama? If Obama is your hero, at least show you have cognitive thought.

Teree's hardly a scintilla of difference between them...a Republican that would vote for McCain would be out of their mind...Ron Paul is THE MAN!

SetonHallGal,
You're so sadly mistaken. What "experience" are you voting for with Senator Clinton? Bill's? I guess.

And in regard to "Bill's just a spouse like anyone else," I hope your Seton Hall education is serving you better than that. He's a 2-term former President. There's nothing even closely comparable with any of the other candidates. He should show some decorum and statesmanlike demeanor. But, sadly, that's not who he is.

That would be an interestning ticket...

Clinton/McCain or McCain/Clinton

Maybe that would be what we needed, back to the basics, the runner up in the GE became the VP...

Think about this - Bill knows we all think he's slick. So he tells us that Hill's most scared of McCain. We go ah ha, he wants her to run against Romney so we vote for McCain who is exactly who they want to run against. Make no mistake, Bill knows how we think about him, he doesn't care, but he'll use it to their advantage. You're right, Bill's not stupid. McCain has become the media darling - for liberals that says something. I'm voting for Ron Paul who they are trying to marginalize into oblivion because they're afraid of the Constitution.

Bill is so right.

There's not much difference between the two on the war and a variety of other issues.

What Bill should have pointed out is how close Senator Clinton and Mitt Romney are; they may differ on the issues but both will say whatever they have to if they think it'll help them win.

What a choice that will be; Clinton or Romney? Hello Third Party Candidate (anyone who's at least partially genuine).

Bill Clinton's style of surrogate sponsorship of unseemly conduct only works when you are actually a surrogate.
I have been supporting a presidential bid by Sen. Clinton since 2004.
And while I am impressed with Sen. Obama's charisma, I still want to see Hillary in the White House because I believe she is more qualified.
But, the truth is I support Bill Clinton, and since he cannot run, I will vote for the next best Clinton. What I don't like seeing is my "candidate" acting unpresidentially in attacking Sen. Obama, or any Dem for that matter.
His strategy is based on the premise that you get the negative message out there without the principal getting their hands dirty. The Clinton camp must realize, before it's too late, that Bill is in fact the principal, and they need a much more low-profile surrogate. I've always liked James Carville in this role, but I think JohnEdwards would do just fine.

" Kentucky January 25, 2008 4:42 pm ET
I continue to love how Republicans hate John McCain. Clinton 2008!"

I continue to love how Democrats hate each other.

Kerry in a landslide! Oh wait....

Why won't the media get past the celebrity driven coverage of Hillary and Obama?

What about the issues? What about covering Edwards??? Edwards is a smart, decent, legitimate candidate, but all we here about is Clinton v. Obama. Come on, CNN, what happened to "keeping an eye" on things and representing the fourth estate?

It just isn't fair that the media should shape the campaigns to the point that they exclude or include who is in the running instead of the people ( – that is us, remember?). Does it take being a total idiot (like some of the republican candidates) or just being very flush with cash and influence to get actual news coverage.

I am really sick of this "reality show mentality" the media seems to have about one of the most important elections in our country's history. Come on CNN, we know you can do better!

This traitor McAmnesty is trying to hijack the conservative party. True Republicans hate McCain because he hates our party's ideology of enforcing our borders and lowering taxes (amongst several other issues).

McCain will meet his end in Florida.

Romney has the momentum and will win the nomination.

Vote Romney in Florida!!!!!!!

As Long as Romney is NOT the nominee, whoever else is fine. Please No Romney...

Wake up America ???? We do not need any more of the Clintons,they can not be trusted. I would rather vote for President of Soviet Union then her,are about the same. She want power so so bad I feel sorry for the country.There are other women out there to be President much better then her. I am not sure who I will vote for but I do know for sure NOT HER

EXACTLY why she should not be the democratic candidate.

This just confirms Hillarys position on the center-right. What is needed now is a good old fashioned liberal "tax the hell out of the rich" President with a Democrat "tax the hell out of the rich" Congress. John Edwards is the best hope for that scenario. There is nothing to be gained from cooperating with the right wing. They have proven they are contemptible.

With Clinton and McCain working together we could have the best of both Party views. Why does one have to be wrong and the other right.

I am all for it

Great comment Lauren..Translation..I want Hillary to run against McCain so that we can move back to the Whitehouse..done deal..Barrack has got to be under Bubba's skin by now..

McCain: The "anti Republican"

if clinton is right, then obama is the logical choice.

If she couldn't play nice with Obama what's the chances she plays nice with McCain?

McCain is a Bush-backer. You think Hillary won't attack him?

God don't make me laugh. McCain is a RINO and
Hillary couldn't run a civil race if her life depended on it.

This is obviously a ploy by Bill Clinton to try and stop McCain's momentum for the nomination. McCain has said in the past that he respects Hillary but it is so obvious what Bill is trying to do. He's a has been and should fade gracefully into the sunset not make everyone remember what a 'say anything to get elected' kind of guy he was/is (as John Kerry and Obama have both stated this week).

Here's a crazy idea that would bring this country back together.
How about if she wins – he is vp and if he wins – she is vp.
That would be quite magnificent.

The NYTimes had to take down the comments blog after the endorsement of clinton. IT WAS COMING IN AT 5 TO 1 AGAINST HER AND THE ENDORSEMENT.
Caligulia and his Ms. Macbeth have been seen by the voter and they do not like them but see them for what they are..amoral and unworthy. Senator McCain looks like he is about to throw up in this picture and rightly so..This was at the Brooks dedication in San Antonio and she showed up uninvited.
SHE IS NO FRIEND TO THE MILITARY AND slimed Gen. Patreas.. Then black voters, then women, then Iowans, split the Dem party, now the American voter.

It sure is easy to tell by these comments between the more mature older people who remember what happened during past administrations and the younger "me" generation. I guess they can't tell the difference between media sound bites and what is real.
I think they need some good lessons in History ,civics and economics.
I don't give a hoot what the sex, race, religion or looks are. Character, morals and brains do count. Higher taxes, political hacks, bigger gov't, panderers we don't need.

If Bill and the NYT state their fluff about John then it becomes crystal clear in my mind who I won't vote for.

They are supported by and are members of the same groups that actually run this country: the COUNCIL OF FOREIGN RELATIONS and the BILDERBURG GROUP.
This country is doomed!!!!

It would be even closer because as a Democrat I would vote for McCain before Clinton. That's for sure.

Whomever is reading this CNN Post need feel dirty for filtering the free words of American tax-payers that deserve the right to speek freely on our American Presidential process.

Of course it will only be civilized as long as Billary maintains a sizable lead in the polls (as with Obama); if not, then watch out for more Clintonista lies, distortions, and dirty games.

This will be no problem as long as Old Man McCain is their opponent (whom as you can see they are praying will win the nomination). Bill sees that as an easy replay of his trouncing of Old Man Dole.

The NYT and other MSM are clearly supporting this strategy with all the influence they can muster.

The moderator s of this site as many people behind me have noted are heavy handed censors. They fail to run half my posts despite the fact that I use no obscene language. Other of my posts they allow to sit waiting for moderation for hours while people who posted later than me get put up. Making sure that there are so many posts up after them that they don't get read. This is CNNs website and they don't have to allow open discussion, but if they are going to engage in biased political censorship they should state that openly. A banner stating "We Don't Allow Any Comments Our Moderator Doesn't Agree With." would be sufficient.

Bill will stain McCain more than he stained that blue dress, to weasel and lie and distort himself back into the white house and the lime light he so desperately needs.

What a setup and dribble by the reporter leaking those lies to put this candidate in a bad light with his own party. Usual Clinton spin and perjury. They are pulling out all terms of civility. John is not my choice, but he deserves better from a draft dodger.

They might like each other but I bet they don't agree on immagration and Iraq policies. also who will bring the most talent to the cabinet

Hill Billary is getting desperate already, aren't it/they?

Shut up, Bill, you're ruining your wife's chances to get the nomination.

Hilliary can't be civil to anyone who is in her way..........watching Bill and Hill campainging, do we really want to go back to the way it was when he was president??????? I don't think so.......

It amazes me how Dem / Rep are all the same socialized party, whatever happened freedom. RON PAUL all the way! Also I find it great they both want to devalue our money in the international market, by giving away "free money", there is no such thing as a free lunch, and is it worth $600 when you have to pay more than twice that in the future. Change is change, and we should all be sick of the minor difference in crooks.

BAMBINO
You want to talk about relationships? How about McCains? He dumped his wife, who stood by him when he was a POW. She had a car accident and almost died but would not let anyone tell him so he would not worry. He came back to a wife who had been through her own hell and didn't like what he saw, so he cheated (he admits that) and found him a trophy wife that he now carries on his arm. He became full of himself because of all the attention he was getting and thought he was too good for her. Hilary stood by her less than perfect husband, and did it in the public eye, and kept her family together. You want most of the world to keep hating us, vote in a Little Napoleon military man like McCain....

Is Kerry positioning himself to run and VP if Obama gets the nomination?

...and so ends the campaign spurt by John McCain. Hey buddy, put a fork in it – you're done! No self respecting conservative or even Republican is going to vote for McCain now that he has the Clinton endorsement.

CNN is so biased against Hillary Clinton. Shame on you, reporters.
I love Hillary's fighting spirit. We need that in a tough time. Go Hillary!

McCain and Clinton being close, what does that tell you about McCain?

I cannot imagine why this story is actually getting coverage, are they not both senators, I fail to see what the big deal so they respect each other...care. Clinton is probably your best chance to rid yourselves of the Iraq burden, while McCain who is being supported by Henry Kissenger who most ppl in the world consider to be a war criminal, will keep your military in Iraq indefinitely, wake up America. Being a Canadian, I might not have a right to submit my opinion on your politics, but considering your economy is so tied in with ours, and American foreign policy has been directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths and impoverishment of countless numbers of ppl worldwide, this is not to say Americans in general are evil, but your rep. is seriously tarnished in the world. After reading comments here there seems to be a general consensus that you want change in the way your gov. does business, but after watching your newscoverage it is very apparent that there will be no change whatsoever, corporations and greed will continue to rule your domestic and foreign policies. I was brainwashed just like everybody else about bush’s Iraq campaign, and chavez being evil, putin bringing back the cold war, etc. etc. as your so called American free press reported, and then I read Naomi Klein’s shock doctrine and actually followed up on her research and lo and behold she is not just a crackpot, the book was extensively researched and documented. The bush administrations crimes and believe me they are crimes, are so blatant and out in the open, that the only reason he has not been impeached is that we as a public have become immune to govt. corruption and we are just letting them get away with it. Don't think that I am only browbeating your politicians ours are just as bad. It is totally staggering to me that your government allows Dick Cheney to hold on to stock from haliburton, which has made billions off of a war that he vigorously supported and lied to the American public not to mention congress on invading Iraq. Not only should that wealth be stripped from him and given back to the American taxpayer he should be charged, just like any other C.E.O. that has ripped off shareholders, unfortunately the shareholders are the American public. I only make light of Cheney because he is the most prominent figure, many, many more have profited from their position from a war that has killed thousands of American soldiers and an estimated 655,000 Iraqi’s, which is probably a very low figure. I have many American friends who are very good ppl, but your government and corporations have completely trashed your name in the world sphere, Wherever I travel Americans are despised, think about that when you vote for your next leader.

The truth to the John McCain popularity with the liberal NY media and endorsed by the liberal NY Times was revealed this morning on the Today Show when Lester Holt asked John Edwards what he thought about when in the last Republican debate the candidates kept mentioning Hillary as the one they were going to have to run against in the general election. John Edwards replied that the reason is because they (Republicans) think that Hillary would be the easiest to beat!
Well, does everyone remember in the last Democrat debate, how John McCain's name was always brought up by them as the one they will have to run against in the general election! Helllo... Democrats know that McCain will be much easier to beat than say a Mitt Romney come the general election..

Amen, "Another Steve!"

Couldn't have said it better myself!

CIVILIZED!? What a joke. The Clintons are pulling out every dirty trick in the book against A FELLOW PARTY MEMBER! What do you think they'll do when they're running again'st GOP? And McCain, well....he's GOP, of course he'll get dirty.

I agree with "Another Steve," as a democrat I have a tough time seeing myself ever voting for Hillary after the stuff she's pulled. Her message is contrived and manipulative and she speaks of the conservatives who compose 50% of this country as if they were a lesser form of being. Divisive, condescending, and manipulative – sounds like someone else I know who has a farm in Crawford, Texas.

In my opinion, this is a shrewd move on Bill's part, designed more to anger the Republicans than to charm the Democrats. Hillary's "experience" platform would be worthless against McCain but will hold up against Romney. If Bill can successfully link Hillary with McCain, McCain's chances of winning the Republican primary will be significantly diminished and Hillary would be facing a more "beatable" Republican candidate.

What I don't understand is "Bill Clinton signed affirmative action into law, so why are they not letting a black man have his turn in the white house now?

Why are the Hillary attack dogs attacking Obama?!

Its his turn to be president because he's black right?

Because I didn't get a job promotion because I'm white so if it was good enough for me, WHY CANT SHE STEP ASIDE AND LET A BLACK MAN BE PRESIDENT?!

That should be enough to scare conservatives away from McCain. Why he is receiving the amount of support he is is unbelievable to me. He is a RINO at best. He "knows how to lead"? Come on. "I had it wrong, I see how the people feel about the border, blah, blah, blah." Hey John, you are over 70 years old and still had the border thing wrong? You had to feel the political heat to your feet before you allegedly changed your mind? BS! You know he still feels the same way, it was just politically expedient for him to change his mind because his presidential ambitions would have went straight down the drain if he had continued on his amnesty roll. If you have been in politics for as long as he has, have lived through war, lived as a POW, survived 70+years of life and you still don't understand that you need a secure border, you have some seriously flawed thought processes and don't need to be in the Senate, let alone the White House. He is about half-nuts and it won't matter who the Demoncrats run, they will take McCain down easily. Slick Willie is full of it too. They will go after McCain with both guns....
How about this scenario? The lesbian doesn't announce a running mate until long after the convention and it is........Slick Willie. She gets in the White House, resigns and guess what? The Slickster is President....again!!!!

If McCain or any other Republican candidate will not hit Hillary and hit her hard, she will cruise to victory in November. The polls showing McCain as the GOP candidate with the best chance of beating Hillary simply reflect the fact McCain he is the best-known republican candidate nationally. If Romney or Rudy or maybe even Huckabee gets the GOP nomination and begins advertising and waging a nationwide campaign against Hillary, you will see those polls tighten just like the theoretical McCain vs. Hillary matchups. Whoever the nominee is, though, he will have to hit her square in the teeth. I worry that Bill Clinton might be right about McCain not being willing to do that.

What I don't understand is "Bill Clinton signed affirmative action into law, so why are they not letting a black man have his turn in the white house now?

Why are the Hillary attack dogs attacking Obama?

Its his turn to be president because he's black right?

Because I didn't get a job promotion because I'm white so if it was good enough for me, WHY CANT SHE STEP ASIDE AND LET A BLACK MAN BE PRESIDENT?!

Same ol trick.Clintons are genius.are you afraid of McCain?Uh huh I think you will get what you want Clintons.I wish Hillary was nominee and Bill her running mate I think we need to amend constitution for this to happen.Coz they are desperate.

I dont take any of these people seriously. Why is it that Hillary Clinton needs a character like Bill Clinton to prop her up? Both parties are deceiving and conning the American People.

McCain is the republicans only hope of winning the election. He may be more liberal than most republicans but he is a republican. The nation knows he will work with both partys and do what is best for the nation.

Please Bill keep putting your foot in your mouth and just let Mitt Romney win!

Of course Hillary likes McCain they both want amnesty for the illegals .

Another Steve, you absolutely correct. Hillary will never leave her republican base.
As for all the female voters, answer these questions? Why does she need Bubba to defend her on every dumb negative response she makes? And why does she stick with man who has cheated on her, caused her so much anguish for years, having an affairs for years right under her nose? What sort of independent thinking woman would allow such a thing to go on for years?

NEVER IN MIY LIFE WHEN ASK WHO MY FAVORITE PRESIDENTS WERE WOULD I RREPLY, "GEORGE WASHINGTON AND BILL CLINTON." No Clinton should ever hold the White House EVER AGAIN>

Hillary is scary and Bill is a shame. I'd take anyone, Republican or Democrat over them!!

Good old Bill. Since they are they same, he probably wants you to just go ahead and vote for Hillary. Maybe he will bite his lip, give a tear, maybe some rage and hopefully no young woman will get his cigar. Then we will get to see Mother Hillary give us her Sainted character of the week. Wonder who she will be next week.

Ugggh...

Bill Clinton, please stop opening your mouth. Every time you do, another dumb statement just falls out.

If you manage to swindle the democratic voters into nominating Hillary, I will be voting for a 3rd party candidate in this election. This is ridiculous.

Barack Obama is what this country really needs, an intelligent, honest decent human being. Hillary Clinton is a sharkand Edwards is a guppy. I used to really like Bill Clinton, but now with tricky tactics and what not I'm not so sure. I also like McCain as a person I can respect him, but honestly if Hillary Clinton becomes president, we'll be in trouble. Obama 08!

Bill is proving two things; he will do and say anything to get Hillary elected to protect his pathetic legacy (History will not be kind to him once his presidency is actually viewed under a microscpoe) and; He has little credibility, but nothing new there.
Clinton was always popular because of his charisma and charm but he's always had a credibility gap, he's slimey and, well, he's a Clinton.

As far as McCain – He's a RINO, period. He does not espouse conservative values, he doesn't not have the support of the base.

We need another candidate, from either party, to get into the race desperately. All of them are the worst we could possibly ask for. All the dems are hard core liberals who will push a socialist agenda – this is not a socialist country and socialism is a disaster, history bears the proof of that. All the Republicans are... well, a hodge podge of liberal/moderate – hard right fringe and while a few wouldn't be bad, they are not what this country needs.

Either way, We, the people are screwed. We have got to impose term limits on Congress and get the bums out of Congress because that is where the real problem lies in this country. Regardless of which party has control the Congress has ceased to work for the American people, they have lost touch with what WE WANT and they have forgotten that it is OUR opinion, NOT THEIRS that drives legislation. They need to be run out of town on a rail and there's a whole slew of them that should be tried and jailed (if not hung).
You people can keep bickering amongst each other about reps v. dems and you can thank for the Congress for the divisive tone in this country, BOTH REPS and DEMS are equally to blame, but you are not going to fix the problem until WE the people UNITE against our Congress and let them know that we've had it with their crap.

We should see this for what it really is. The Clinton's would rather face anyone other than McCain in the general election. What better way to mobilize Republicans against McCain than to say how well he works with Hillary?

Bill Clinton has lost a ton of respect from me for his constant false remarks in this primary. I do believe that Hillary and McCain are both going to keep us in Iraq for who knows how long while ignoring what American people need at home though.

And as far as dirty campaign contributions go, Hillary...how much did felon Peter Paul give your campaign in 2000?

Dems need to wise up and vote Edwards or we're just handing it to the Republicans again. If McCain and Clinton are so close do we need Hillary? Even Glen Beck say "McCain and Clinton....that's not a contest that's a ticket!" Edwards is THE only reason Clinton and Obama are leaning left instead of right at the moment. I'm so tired of Republican-lite Dems.

There is so much they have in common, they both voted to go into Iraq for starters. Wow there isn't a dime's bit of difference. Maybe we have the Republicrat party too! Brilliant!!!!

Bill is no dummy. He says these things precisely to move GOP voters away from McCain because he knows Hillary looses to McCain.

Don't let the liar influence your vote!

One word.

"Billary"

Once this sticks it will never leave their candidacy alone. People must realize Billary is the candidate not Hillary.

Bill, Thanks for letting us know who you are worried about. Obvious ploy to give republicans concern that McCain is too moderate....which is not true. You're just hoping that someone other than McCain wins FLA.

If Clinton gets the nomination, she will loose because of two people...Bill Clinton & George Bush....too american presidents with great intentions, but lost the trust of the people. America is not going to elect anyone that they can't Trust....regardless of the economy, war, etc. Trust is the issue and John McCain is the front runner because he is the only one people can trust.

By the way....I don't want a president to go to Washington to "fight" as you say, I want someone without the firery retoric. Everytime I hear Hillary wanting to fight for something, I hear......more of the same Washington gridlock.

Slick move by Bill to try and further discredit the only electable Republican within his own party.

What does that have to with the price of tea in China? oh sorry, didn't mean to talk ill of clinton country!

Finally somebody said this. Indeed, they are!. One more reason NOT TO VOTE for Hillary. Who needs another republican even if she is in democratic guise...

Bill Clinton is a master politician–these comments were certainly made to discredit McCain further with Republican primary voters who despise Hillary Clinton. If Bill can equate McCain with Hillary, Romney certainly wins the party nomination. Hillary has a better shot at beating Romney than she does McCain in the general election given the current mood of the country. Don't be fooled by the nicey-nice stuff–Hillary is afraid to go up against McCain, and she will certainly not be 'lovey' during the general election! Uuuugghhh!

Bill Clinton may be smart "politically" but is a scum for being so–their team will say anything to get elected. As a Republican, I am appalled at their attempt to paint Barack Obama as THE black candidate, thus erroding his white support which he NEEDS to win the primary. Which party is racist? Disgusting! Remember the Clintons are the one's who interjected race into this campaign. How can they call into questions Obama's commitment to anyting?

This will certainly finish JM. Rudy is the ONLY real leader on the roster

do we really want a president from our parents generation?

If it's the two of them I'd expect some good solid discussion absent the usual hyperbole.

I really wish Bill would just shut up for once. We heard enough from him back in the 90's. Of course that goes for Hell-ary as well.

I can see it now......John McCain President, and Hillary the vice, or the other way round.....what a nightmare either way you look at it.....but thats what you get when you get a bunch of Libs, moderates, and Independents {still moderates} voting for the next president, a dead skunk in the middle of the road.....we will have 2 dead skunks in the middle of the road.....and get ready to call America Meximerica. Thank you libs, moderates, and so called Independents {you will have no right to complain when your jobs go south so to speak}

We need to stop 'rewarding' the clintons for their immorality, lies and deceit. Their soft of national security policy is going to be bad for us. hey bill, where's that health card you held up in the air and promised us we'd all have? Where my card?

McCain is just another Democrat in Republican clothing! It isn't likely that Hillary can be civilized about the race. She is a beast!

I would welcome a civil general election of policy ideas. At some point we better get along with one another politically- the piper needs to be paid on quite a few national challenges. Consensus, not political polarization, will be the means by which we move forward.

I agree with Prez Clinton. If Hillary and McCain gets the Nomination the debates may be dull in the Fall.

However, I don't think McCain will get the Nomination from the Republicans, whose Machine loves Mitt.

By Feb 5the SuperDuper Tuesday it will be resolved. Wait and See.

January 25, 2008 4:36 pm ET

"With that statement from Bill Clinton, Romney will become the nominee of the Republican Party."

And that is what Bill wants, of course. Because Hillary cannot beat McCain

Bill Clinton. His lies are his clothes.
When someone will tell the emperor is naked?

nobody cares what any of you dimwits think..........

I hope so much to see Hillary and John both run.....and, Hillary get the Presidency!

John Kerry does NOT know what is the truth. How in the world he can comment on truth. He is a big joker.

He is the most ungrateful human being. See what he does to Edwards and Clintons, who worked for his nomination so much. Now bone head is talking ill of them!

A Big Low Life.

With all the crookedness the Clintons demonstrated when Bill was president, and when they left the white house they tried stealing furniture and white house property, what the hell will it be if they get back in. We learned the first time that Clinton's are not trustworthy. How can we allow her to hold the highest office of the United States? NO TO HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN stands for the Clinton News Network. I'm an ABC kinda person, "Anybody But Clinton!"

Hillary would be just like her husband – a do nothing president, who, for one thing, wasted the American people's time and money making that movie at the end of his presidency, while Bin Laden was planning the attacks. Bill also desecrated the Oval Office. The Clinton's have no respect for anything but themselves! Regarding McCain – - – Hillary, the snake, will cremate McCain. She is really afraid of Romney, in my opinion.

I'm a registered Democrat in California. Given the current trend, it looks quite possible that the presidential candidates will be McCain and Clinton. I personally am tired of the same old politics as usual that Clinton (and her attack dog husband) represent. In a race with McCain and Clinton, I vote McCain. in a race with McCain and Obama, I vote Obama.

Anyone but Obama in 08, Our country can't afford his presidency.

God bless Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!

Who knows if Mccain is not elected for the GOP he may become Clinton VP candidate, that would be interesting.

Whether you're a Clinton, Obama or Edwards supporter, any one of them is better than another 4 years of republican failed policies and potentially solifying the Supreme Court with right judges. That spells the end of choice, free speech, miranda rights, etc. Democrats need to unite and think about the end game and not Clinton vs. Obama. Both are perfectly fine.

Wouldn't it be nice to see two candidates run on the issues, and not stoop to the mudslinging that we've been forced to endure for years.

Just vote for Mitt Romney and select a leader, not a politician. I want business experts to run our Country since politicians can't!

I'm a registered Democrat in California. Looking at the current trends, it looks that it is quite possible that the two candidates will be McCain and Clinton. I personally am tired of the same old politics that Clinton (and her attack dog husband) represent. I want the Democrats back in power, but not

How in the world is Bill Clinton saying "McCain and Hillary are very close" NOT be an endorsement of Republicans? How in the world does she have the nerves to crticize Obama for saying that Ronald Reagan was a "transcendent figure"? It again shows that the Clintons are totally out of control and will continue to say anything in order to get themselves back in the white house. How quickly do we forget...? Most people forgot that the reason George Bush in in the white house is because people were tired of sleeze at the highest level of government. They are also giving Bill Clinton credit for something that he doesn't deserve. The economic prosperity days of the Clinton's era only occurred because of the high tech boom of the Internet revolution, something the Clintons had nothing to do with. God please help us... no more Clintons in the white house.

We are all Screwed. Hillary is as leftist as they get and McCain is a leftist in disguise.

Clinton<Obama<Edwards

Why is no one talking about Edwards?

Obama is a tactician

Clinton is outdated

Edwards is only one qualified for the position.

GO EDWARDS!!!

The mud and slime are being thrown about by the followers of Romney, Huckabee . What can you expect from people who would give sanctuary to Rudolph or practice polygamy ?Equally unsettling, is the false hope being stoked by the press in their premature coronation of political lightweight Obama.

So Bill,

You say a Hillary and McCain race would be civilized. You place more respect in another liar for the war than a candidate from your own . That's a telling statement coming from a compulsive liar.

One thing you can guarantee is this:

You have successfully divided the Democratic Party. That's more damaging than dividing the country. Now we're heading towards another 4-8 years of Republican rule. Republicans may have divided the country but they have the good sense in supporting their own.

Bill, you are dragging the Democrats to another defeat. Hope you swallow it well.

McCain will beat Hillary if they become the nominees. The reason being that the Clintons are the most polarizing political figures in recent history. Republicans and Independents will never vote for Hillary. Hillary will lose

That makes it pretty clear that the Clinton machine only fears running against McCain.

The Clintons never say anything that is not intended to manipulate.

Clinton is the best internationally. Our country was a leader of the world. Clinton has respect for his brilliance in handling finances and world leaders love him. Let's stop fooling around with racial tactics and listen to policies. Many of us need to stop badmouthing each other and pull together and vote for experience. When did experience get a bad name?

TO: Another Steve

So, if Hillary gets the nomination, you will vote for McCain and to stay in Iraq for years and years?

Hillary deserves respect. Obama and Oprah. Please vote policies.

You people believe that crap and I'll sell you some swampland in
Belle Glade Florida.....................

John McCain 's foreign policy is really scary. I am afraid that he would be too quick to use military action to solve international disputes.

#1 reason McCain should not get the nomination

CNN is the one feeding this hate frenzie about the Clintons. Think about it, why does CNN give Obama a free ride. I've never seen so much bias reporting in my life. CNN is keeping it going. When all their so called reporters/commentators/analysts gather around a table discussing the election, all of them bash Hillary and can't brag enough about Obama. Is this POLITICALLY CORRECT OR WHAT? CNN keeps making remarks about "Bill Clinton's playing dirty and looks like it's working." NO, what is working is CNN's dirty games of bashing Hillary. Makes me want to run out and support her. Not many people enjoy seeing a news media beat up on one person without standing up for them. CNN wants to make this about race and the general public is not going to have any of it.

Well its clearly a tactic by Bill Clinton to attempt to influence the GOP race. The democrats are petrified of the prospect of a McCain candidacy. Former President Clinton is trying to exagerate McCain's links to the democrats which already worries many in the GOP. The Clintons have run a campiagn so dirty it makes Romney look clean.

And anybody that believes a word that comes out of Bubba's mouth please call me . . . I'd like to talk to you about these bridges I have for sale.

"Whats the big deal about Bill Clinton adding his two cents? EVERY OTHER candidate spouse is spewing their own garbage."

Every other candidate's spouse is not a former president, habitual liar and philanderer. Bill is not just another spouse. He is the poster child of the old Democrat Guard and slash and burn politics.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.??? Well, moderators, is Bill buying you breakfast?

I think that they should just let the candidates talk about the issues.

The fact of the matter is that John McCain is the only republican contender who can retain swing voters. If there is going to be a republican president i will be John McCain. If he does not get the endorsement, make way for the democras because they will take it quite easily.

>>Not going to happen. LOL cute picture though. I liked the Rezko picture better. By the way where is that CNN.

Good post, C.E. from Minnesota!

May I reiterate? Where IS the Rezko picture, CNN??

Do we have to remind ourselves what the Clintons left us with when they were in the White House? How many of their friends were suddenly removed from this earth when they got in the way. Please read "The Clinton Chronicles" to prove our point. Bill Clinton ignored repeated opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist allies . God forbid if the they were again to invade the White House. Queen Hillary would let the country be taken over by Terrorists in a whim. In the beginning she supported our troops, then turned on them and is now tromping on the graves of our fallen men and women and will not support our fighting men and women in our war against Terror just to support her election. Terrorists would just love to have her in the White House.

Edwards-Obama will make a winning deomocratic ticket.

It frustrates me that the news media, CNN included, have made the choise for Americans that Edwards is out of the race. Don't you think talking about Clinton and Obama all of the time just keeps thier names out there. People forget Edwards is even a part of the race. Unfair campaigning!!

Totally agree, Hillary and McCain are the best so far. McCain is an honorable man. But Hillary will be president. Cry Obama cry!

Hillary has shows her teeth every time she needs to. If she ends up matched against McCain she will attack the same she has attacked Obama, in slanderous, contemptible ways. The history of the Bill-Hill machine has never let the facts get in the way of their ambition, McCain will be no different. Let's all hope that the most objective politician available, Michael Bloomberg, enters the race so a "real" problems and not political ones will be dealt with.

Madam President, Commander and CHEF.

Mark my words , if Hillary gets the nomination there will be a third party candidate. The Clintons cannot get 50 Percent of the vote and they know it. Bill made a deal with Ross Perot and Hillary has one with someone else maybe that very Bloomberg who they are claiming she will loose votes to. It is a plan to split the independent votes and get her just high enough a percentage to win.

Second I never thought New Yorkers were so gullible to allow this carpet bagger to use their state as a stepping stone to the presidency.

Why didnt she go back to Arkansa or even Illinios to run.? It only shows the disingeneous ways of the Clintons who has demonstrated that they will do and say anything for power, even divide the voters along racial lines.

Of course, the question must be asked: Is Hillary running for president or is Bill running for a third term? I seem to recall Alabama Governor George Wallace pulling the same stunt with his wife.

Another lie being promulgated by Bill to paint a false picture of what that real facts are. I'm sure that McCain doesn't give a hoot about Hillary Clinton when it comes to being President of the United States.

This is in response to Senator Obama's drive to bring all people together including Republicans, Independent, Young, Old, Rich, Poor, White, Asian, Latino(Hispanic), Black, etc.....

Hillary is a divisive figure and cannot bring people of different backgrounds together, as evidenced by her attempts to use Obama's race against him.

We are not biting!

If Bill Clinton says anything, believe the opposite. The breathless quest for power by Clinton, Inc. is sickening. I hate the Clintons...they are ruthless, hypocrites, untruthful and will say and do anything to (re) gain power. Don't think for a minute that Slick Willie will stay in the background with his now wilted "Bill" hanging out of his zipper waiting for the latest prey. He will be co-President.

This statement is probably the kiss of death for McCain. Go Romney!

The media has been doing everything in it's power to prop up McCain. They and the Democrats know he can't possibly beat Hillary. He is a Bob Dole remix. He doesn't stand a chance. Here come the Clintons for another 8 years! The media is just salivating!

I wonder if Bill Clinton has been able to twist truths to fit his needs all his life. Considering his background that is probably how he has survived. What a shame - another example of an intelligent human being who is dysfuntional because he has never dealt with his childhood deamons. Maybe a Dr. Phil is desperately needed for both the Clintons. Maybe a loss will force them to finally deal with these issues.

I also wonder what affect they have had on their daughter. They seem to lean on her for support. Again, what a shame.

A McCain/Huckabee ticket is the only Republican hope – IF Clinton is the nominee. The Republican base will turn out 100% to vote against Clinton. No matter how much they may dislike McCain, their spluttering rage against all things Clinton will not allow them to stay home. McCain will command much of the moderate and independent vote. Huckabee will rally the south and much of the midwest, singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" all the way. It is possible.

Democrats would charge effectively that a Romney presidency would just be four more years of Bush: "free" trade, more debt to China and Saudi Arabia, more years floundering in Iraq, more perks and favors for the CEO community, and four more years of inattention to the country's growing problems. Giuliani's seamy administration, his marital infidelities, his attitudes toward abortion, gays, etc. will disaffect him from the mainstream Conservatives (and he will probably be dropping from the race after he loses Florida). Neither Guiliani nor Romney will be favored by the evangelicals. A Ron Paul candidacy, while it would be fun, would be the end of the Republican party as we know it; there would be a Democratic landslide of huge proportions.

I'll be voting for the Democrat anyway.

WOW i cant believe this. People must be to consumed by what the media is saying rather then look at the contents of ones character. Wake up people we need serious change in our country. We are on the verge of collapse. Thanks to the media filling our heads with celebrity news and biased coverage on politics we seem to have forgotten the truth of our reality..People are too concerned with what is going on with celebrities and reality shows that they are forgetting what is happening in there own back yard. I just hope come November that we all use our heads and look at the facts not media distorted bs to make our decisions. As for me i am going to vote for OBAMA. I have watched his debates and researched his history and he is a stand up guy. That is who we need to get this country back on track. VOTE OBAMA

I just can't figure out, how Clinton anti war vs McCain "100 years in Iraq" sticks together. Neither the other issues of both completely opposite of each other. Something tells me, that one or the other – or both- candidates would say anything to get elected. In this scenario, both Hillary and Clinton would have to retract statements and ideas driving their campaign and it would make them both flip floppers like no one else and I just can't figure out how American people can't see through all these false statements.

Hillary and McCain, two liberals who have lost their way and are left with only the will to kiss up to corporate special interests.

Wake up America!! This election is not about Democrats vs. Republicans, It’s about Socialism vs. Capitalism.

Stalllone + Ny Times = Kiss of Death for RINO McCain

So what is Bill saying – that Shrillery (and Bill) do not respect Barack Obama? They have tried their best to destroy Barack. But, with John McCain, they would have a hard time going after him because they respect him? These two "has beens" need to go home. Please America, get some sense about you and do not elect these scumbags.

Whatever Bill's intentions were/are, they cannot help themselves when they are losing. Gutter politics at its best.

Both Pro-War...Both Dumb

It's 7:15 A.M. Jan. 26th, so why is my comment still awaiting comment this morning?

I can't get over some of these posts. Words misspelled, words missing, sentences that don't make sense. And so many repeating things that they think sound "convincing" to slam the Clintons, but used incorrectly, so that the posters often sound like the "idiots" they ask if we think they are. I think most of these Clinton hating posts are by teens having fun roiling up the waters, and/or by Republicans. Mostly uneducated Republicans, apparently. Also obviously by people who just repeat the hatred spewed by previous posts. EDUCATE YOURSELVES, PLEASE, PEOPLE!
Also I get a kick out of all who say they WERE for the Clintons, but now blah blah….
They never intended to vote for Hillary, so it would be nice if they quit making this foolish claim. And if you are so shallow and childish that you will vote Republican if your candidate doesn't get in……..you were never much of a Democrat in the first place. GROW UP, PEOPLE. Learn to spell and write, and when you have educated yourself, you will vote for HILLARY!!!

Bill may be telling the truth(?) (if that's possible) about this one. McCain is so much like Hellery and the Democrats he'd sell out to them in a New York second.
McCain is simply way to liberal to be a true Republican. Look who he's been co-writing bills with lately. THAT we do not need.

Let's not forget my friends, that Bill Clinton is a disgrace and a compulsive liar, as is his wife of career convenience.

ATTN DEMS

I challenge you to go to any ticker story that has Hillary Clinton, and find one whose comments don't contain anger, hatred, questions of morality, integrity and overall concern.

This is not just coming from Republicans, but Democrats as well.

My question for you: Why would you want to divide the Democratic party like that, and drive a large wedge into the country. That is what she will do. And the divide you are seeing within the Democrats will not heal.

Why do you want to force this woman on a country that finds 46% of the public questioning her integrity and morality.

If you don't like Obama vote for Edwards, but don't destroy this country!!

Thank you Brenda, I agree with you, let's use our heads, Hillary is a brilliant woman and she will make a wonderful President, the world will respect us when they know that the real America is back again.

Stop being so personal, think of your country and our troops.

yes, hillary and john are my favorites for both parties. hillary is a very smart lady
and gets unfair bashing from the press and people who rsent a woman being
president. i compare her to mother theresa. she fights for women,poor,and
minorities.

Wake me up when Bill Clinton says something that isn't a blatant lie...

I cannot believe that in 300 million people the best we have to nominate in the democratic party is Hillary Clinton. Never elect someone President because they want to be great–this is Hillary. Also, think about what this country will be and how much it will be further divided with both Clinton's in the White House. They cannot unite this country; they can only further divide it. The old Homeland will not be able to take it.

I wonder how long McCain will take to consider Hillary's request for him to be her Vice President. Probably not long for him to say yes once Romney wins the Republican nomination.

If Bill & Hill are the best this country can come up with forpresident then we are in serious trouble & I for one am selling out and moving out. Bush has already put us in the hole and These to will give the fat, lazy, freeloaders what's left of our paychecks in their welfare and health care programs. Mccain will drive us into endless wars and our taxes will support the endless bombing and rebuilding of some foreign country. IS THIS THE BEST AMERICA HAS TO OFFER?

I find Bill comments to be a bit hypocritical now. Hillary said she would take on McCain "toe to toe" over the war if she were the nominee. I would imagine she would use the same dirty political machine that they have used in the Democratic primary that has divided this party so severely. When questioned about his attacks, and how it was dividing his own party, he said ....I don't care, I won't stop, I'm campaigning for my wife. He didn't care...about his party or about any of us...democrats. It was the old Clinton political machine at work. As a democrat it brings back, the bad things in the 80's. Now I remember...it wasn't all good!
McCain has said he will go after Hillary as she waves the white flag of surrender! I don't think a campaign of Clinton and McCain will be a nice one. Because Clinton is so polarizing and so hated by republican's. We will not be in the White House again.
It will be a dirty campaign...they used the "Rove" tactic. And sadly it has worked. Attack, attack,....deny deny! It truly sad when we call for change...we get more of the same...and we fall for it! American's will get what they vote for...just as we did with 2 terms of Bush after rhetoric, attacks, and "playing the game". We were the loser...and we will be again.

I love how people distort that Hillary is running a negative campaign against Obama, this is how ALL campaigns are run and have been run in the past. The difference is that all of you that are so focused on this have been brain-washed by CNN that Hillary is the only one being nasty, Obama is NO angel in this, GET YOUR OWN ORIGINAL THOUGHTS PEOPLE

ALso you remarks towrds the fact that Bill is standing up for his wife is quiet sexist. The female spouses like Michele Obama and Elizabeth Edwards have been making statements all season about their opponents and you said nothing about that.

GO HIL!!!!!!!!

Civlized? Ha! A reporter can think as much since the two are close on any number of issues. Just wait till Hillary turns her sights on McCain & Bill joins in!
The friendship will chill with tremendous speed.

This blog article hits the nail on the head. Please, check out Ron Paul, keep an eye on him, for he is truly the person that can handle this job.

that would be the best for our country-

Just wonder: Why Obama does not come clean and tell all the facts about his role and relation with Rezko. The Chicago Sun-Times ran many stories about Barak starting career "When Barack Obama took a job at a small Chicago law firm in 1993, the first name on the door of the firm was Allison S. Davis."
Same firm, according to the newspaper on April 23, 2007, handled all legal transactions of Rezko' project suggesting that Barak, being a small lawyer then, worked on the preparation of the legal papers. Since 1996 Barak became more closer to Rezko. The newspaper followed the Obama-Rezko track since then. It does not look good!
Can he tell me what exactly he did from 1993-1996?

Hillary Clinton and John McCain should be on the same ticket: Democrat

Doesn't the fact that Obama is receiving all of the black votes in SC tell you something?

The head of BET a very intelligent black man is supporting Hillary Clinton. Doesn't that tell us something?
She will not divide our country by race. Don't allow it to happen.

It appears the 51% who voted for George Bush have still not woke up.
Hillary is a strong American who will fight for ALL OF US.

I know Hillary and Bill Clinton are Color Blind and given the chance, she will be good for this country again. Remember the prosperity he left for Bush, she will do it again.

I agree the two are very close. Unfortunately, none of the two will bring any fresh air to Washington politics: they are the very symbols of the Washington establishment and insider politics that we really need to change. It's like we are letting in fresh air by stuffing the windows with old pillows.

If it comes to a choice between the two, I'd probably vote McCain. At least the guy was a war hero. All Hillary did was use her husband to climb the ladder (while throwing dirt at people from her own party!)

H. Clinton = Dishonesty and B. Clinton = Dishonesty
Hence, H. Clinton + B. Clinton ===> Biggest Lies You Can Ever Imagine. Beware America

McCain = Open Book, and Patriotism, We are secure with Straight talk.

Obama = Truth and Fair Game, Character Matter, Turning Over to a New Page

NOW WE HAVE CNN GOING REPUBLICAN LIKE FOX THE BUSH CHANNEL.HILLARY IS THE ONLY DEMOCRAT WHO CAN WIN AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS ALL IN IRELAND ARE CHEERING FOR YOU IN2008HILLARY.BEST OF IRISH LUCK .

Why are SO many people criticizing Hillary Clinton for not running a "civilized" campaign when ALL the candidates are doing the same thing? It doesn't make sense to me. You can't just single out one when it's all of them. Don't you remember Bush during the last election or are people blind to what other candidates or doing?

The American media is just fueling the fire and yet you all just let them do that? Why do I say the American media? Because I'm an American living in Canada and I get the Canadian coverage of the campaign and the American coverage. The Canadian media is focusing on what's important the issues and what each candidate wants to do to make our country better. The American media doesn't seem to be doing that.

I just want to know what each candidate is going to do to fix what the Bush Administration messed up in the first place.

As an independent I would like to see McCain vs. Hilary. Would not vote for the buffoons no matter what. McCain Vs. Hilary = Hilary.

If neither of them gets nominated, I am writing.

Many of the postings on this blog is nothing but shrill and irrationally stupid posts. The more I dig in and try to find the negatives about the Clinton's the less and less truth I find. Suppose, there is professional Bill and Hilary hating shriller's out there.

CNN has become pathetic and dear Blitzer opens up with Race every single time. Give it a rest Wolfe.

Billions dead in Iraq. Millions maimed and injured with ruined lives. Hillary Clinton and John McCain have stood by and done nothing but support the bloodshed for the past seven years. Neither one is qualified or deserving of ANY office in the United States of America. Neither one has protested the lying Bush Administration's plan to conquer the Middle East in all of this time, at the cost of American lives, Now all of a sudden when they want to be "President" for their own gratification why would you voters give it to either of them? Google Michael Ledeen and do your research about what is really going on in America. They are ALL in bed together. Better pray for a ticket comprised of Ron Paul and Dennis Kosinich NOW!!!

Is this like the world tour with George H. W. Bush that Bill Clinton talked about?

Pathetic grumpy old man!

This article must be based on imagination. The Clintons don't know how to run a civilized campaign. This primary definitely proves it. And I'd like to hear how she plans to win Independents or moderate Republicans when a third of the Democratic Primary voters will never show up to vote for her in a General election.

Bill and Hillary are out to block the first black Presidential candidate. It is really that simple!

I guess two terms in office was just not enough for this power crazed couple!

How black does Billy Clinton look to you, now ?

The world is watching !

America, please wake up, and do the right thing, just say no to the Clinton
machine and show the world that we are a democracy and not a monarchy !

Barack and Michelle, we trust you to lead us to higher ground.

Maybe he's bangin her...I bet Bubba ain't gettin any

Same as the love-fest between Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Clintons make me want to puke in my shoes!

The Clinton's are pulling out all the stops. Clearly everyone know she can not be trusted. All the clinton's want is power, they could care less about the rest of us.

McCain and Hillary are close, but notice the reason why is because McCain has moved to the liberal side, but Hillary has not moved to the conservative side. Democrats and the NY media know an easy target who is subject to being persuaded, and that is McCain.
Conservative values and programs are the foundation of American heritage and success. John McCain is NOT a conservative!

Once again CNN deletes my posts. Does yourr policy say that every Ron Paul supporter gets deleted?

Why do you leave Ron Paul out of your campaign coverage?

If you are going to continue to delete my posts. You should at least have the decency to explain t why. I use no profanity. I make no denegrating remarks.

Why do you keep deleting my posts?

And CNN keeps right on sensoring the replies so that its 95% obama driven.

Stop your bickering!! Its Mike I like, God bless America.

I have voted Republican for many years now but when this race started I took and interest in Obama. Initially I liked what he was saying and thought he was worthy of consideration. However, all this changed after the recent South Carolina debate in which Obama and Hillary lost their composure and stooped to new lows, which for a politician is saying a lot. I can’t speak for anyone else but I don’t want a president who cannot even handle the pressure of a debate being in charge of our military and deciding how to react to foreign threats. Although I am a Republican if I had to vote today I would vote for John Edwards. He seems to be one of the only honest, decent, respectable individuals running for President that is genuinely interested in the people and not the power of the office.

You have to hand to Bill Clinton – he knows how to wind up the republicans – the Christian Right will be going nuts right now!!

BILL-ARY at it's best, HRC calls out the slum lord…opps she was doesn't remember taking the picture AT A FUNDRASIER FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Bill-Ary has made race and gender an issue in SC, to SCARE all the KOOLAID drinkers away from a man who kept RACE OUT of the the campaign. To ensure he doesn't remind us the 40% of Americans said they WOULD NOT VOTE FOR BILL-ARY BEFORE THE ELECTION, AFTER THE ELECTION BILL-ARY WANTS TO MAKE SURE HE PANDERS…JUST A BIT. If ONE COUPLE could do this kind of damage to THEIR OWN PARTY…IMAGINE WHAT THEY WOULD DO TO THIS COUNTRY??????????

OBAMA 08

The Clintons don't know how or wouldn't think of running a civilized campaign. They will use their paid surrogates to damage and malign whoever their opponent is. They are vengeful and dishonest people.

Shame on CNN for pulling Carville and Begala, buckling under pressure from Obama camp. Never thought I'd see the day when CNN was so biased in their reporting. Pretty bad when FOX is more fair and balanced than CNN. But I guess the slam you took from African-American women over 'Race and Gender' special helps reinforce the nothion of your fear of this block of viewers. How did it feel, Anderson, to be questioned about being racist when you were only reporting and drawing comparisons? Now you know how Clinton's felt over the ridiculous claim that mention of LBJ and "fairytale" in speaking of Obama Iraq record were 'racist'. By the way – mainstream media was responsible for the racist label. The night of the New Hampshire primary, when Clinton staged a major upset in the election, MEDIA started crying racism, implying it was the Tom Bradley factor, without any proof or evidence. Allmediaoutlets, in an attempt to mask their own biased reporting, should admit their role in "creating" this news slant. Since viewers were watching coverage and heard this broad stroke being painted on all outlets, naturally,Obamafans,desperate tomakesenseofloss,grabbed on to this "racist"storyline.YOU shouldbe the organization to admit this,just like you should disclose that you took begala and Carvilleoff the air, due to pressure from Obama camp. We're waiting on the Best Political Team on Television to do the right thing.

For those of you bashing McCain, he is really the only chance Republicans have in winning this next election. If any of the other candidates became the nominee the Republican party would lose for sure beause they are flawed in some way.

Vote experience. We need peace around the world. Both Clinton's are well loved, experience and know how to govern.
What's the problem with experience? We need the Demomcratic Party to boost this team instead of criticizing them for picking on Obama.
We're at war and need financial know hows in office.
We're getting two leaders in the White House. Stop complaining about them.
Start supporting them. Go Hillary...Go Bill!

I can't understand how anyone would dislike the Clinton's. Has anyone been around when our country was thriving with President Clinton in office? We all hunger for change. But we really need experience at this time. Obama would be entering a new arena in the government. Hillary would be able to step into office and govern immediately. She was our first lady, Bill our President. We need to know a great deal more about Obama's governing abilities before we consider nominating him as our president. We have a clear sense of how Hillary would govern.

Vote Hillary and be thankful she has a husband that is so loved by the world.

could it be that good old bill is trying to stir up trouble? He certainly doesnt want his wife to face McCain in the fall, so wouldnt it make sense for him to say their buddies in hopes of derailing McCain?

" There very close ",,,, yeah right,,, run this story again in the general election,,, lmao

P.S.
McCain's mom is out there to show people she's not far from being 100 years old and is probably healthier than many of us, meaning her son's age shouldn't even be an issue. (Yes Chuck Norris, that was kinnda funny, but not really, Sir)

That was just a polite comment....because...SENATOR CLINTON FUNDAMENTALLY DISAGREES WITH VIRTUALLY all of John McCain's distorted policies...
WHEW! Thank goodness we'll have a tough candidate to take on McCain in November...he will be tough

stan pitts pa, Peril? So because anyone who wants a job is working (5% unemployment) and we are at the end of a six year economic boom which always ends in a slow down, we are in peril? Obama must be your guy.

Also remember, despite the Democrats trying to kill our positive efforts in Iraq by killing the surge we are now in fact winning in Iraq no thanks to them. So the only thing they can take credit for is killing our own soldiers by making the surge more difficult. Hindering the President (Commander in Chief) and giving the enemy the satisfaction of showing opposition to a Republican plan of victory in Iraq. Why wouldn't the terrorist want a Democrat as President?

At least McCain was for a surge from the get go. Hillary has been for everything and against everything so it is hard to really tell her stance on war issues. Socialism, thats easy for her to define. Her plans to closing GITMO and bugging out of Iraq gives terrorist hope, So then yeah, in a crazy kind of way Hillary is the candidate of hope. ")~ Too bad it is hope for our enemies.

Clinton using reverse psychology, imagine that! Ha! Talk about an embrace of death! Hahaha!!! They don't call him slick Willy for nothing! Well, probably for more than one reason, but anyway.

The Pathetic Clinton trailer trash Saga continues. This being the Clinton News Network (CNN) My post might not make it.

Our votes go to Hillary. McCain is a Bush supporter and I definetly want no part of them. I cannot believe the people in this country would vote Republican again after the 8 years of pure hell we have just nearly gone through. Bush was a crook going in the first term and just warmed up the scenario for the second time around when his Republican machine did another hatchet job on the election. I don't trust a Republican anymore, I used to vote for the man, but today, after all the crooks that have been in and all the scandalscaused by Republicans, I am a staunch DEMOCRAT Give 'em hell Hillary, you've got what it takes.

I just hope all Republicans vote for Romney

The Mitt-wit is actually running a commercial in Florida where he talks about right to life – the whole country is in the toilet, and he's worried about the unborn

The Republicans crack me up – what about the right to life of all our troops???????

So, vote for the Mitt-wit, all you Republican nit-wits

Do our entire planet this favor

Thank you in advance

I'm tired of people whining about the comments about a race gender thing....Lets face it everytime anything happens Black peole always start yelling that its because they are black and start carring on and on about how they were slaves. The only problem with that is that the ones who do most of the yelling NEVER were a slave themself and are usually defending a crime they have infact commited. They tend to forget about all the Jews who where treated just as bad or the fact that ALL women had no rights for hundreds of years but its only the blacks that keep using the race card. When is it time for everyone to take responsibility for their own actions instead of making excuses or pulling out the race card everytime its convienant?

Please think for a minute and then you'll realize why Bill say that about McCain. He doesn't want McCain to win the Republican nomination because he is scared Hilary would lose to him. His goal by saying this is to scare off Republicans from voting McCain because McCain is friends with Hilary and the Republicans hate Hill and Bill Clinton. He obviously thinks she'll have a better shot against Romney and if Huckabee some how won she would easily beat him.

The true colors of America are once again coming through and it is not the red white and blue, it is Caucasian. It truly amazes me how candidates will suck up to the minority voter when they need their vote, and alongside shoulder to shoulder all races stand united in support of the Caucasian candidate. Why is it then, that when the tables are turned and the candidate is a minority, America seems to inject the ever ugly card of racism. Where is that Caucasian person that once stood next to me to vote the Caucasian candidate into office, you have now abandoned me simply because of the color of the minority candidate, how shallow and racist you became. I have voted countless times at all levels of our democratic institution and not once did I notice that the person whom I hoped to vote into office was a different race than myself. Perhaps, God should have taken the gift of sight away from us all.

you if i remember right it may have not been the greatest years of our live to here some people say but if you where to ask people about hillary clinton before obama it wouldnt have sounded as bad she was a big reason why bill clinton sustained victory over his fellow runers ...the other party would love for it not to come down to clinton vs them ill sum it up for you they made it to the white house once they could very well do it again...they couldnt do much worse then bush if i recall they help calm things down until people found out about bill clintons afair ..think of it this way every one says how can she still be with him i will tell how god forgives you so why would you think your better then god i kno god is a very touchy subject to the world but if you truly have faith you would find out that every one screws up and sins jesus once said he with out sin can cast the first stone ...so please think about it when this election is over with obama and hillary will get along again ...you and i as people will get along again just of late i could not get along with a lot of family members but a week before christmas in 2007 my dad died i still feel hurt and i will feel lonley he was all i had to talk to but the only thing i can remember him tellin me was learn to forgive others and maybe others will forgive you im sorry if people dont like my words but you cant make every one happy ..my grand mother voted for bill clinton before she died and if i make it threw the hard times i will vote for hillary clinton .....thank you and god bless.........

The Ocegueras

gays FOR Hillary 08

We love her

Gooooo HILLARY 2008

Hillary 08, Commander and Chief.

Mexicans for Hillary/Obama ticket.

F. Castilli

This traitor McAmnesty is trying to hijack the conservative party. True Republicans hate McCain because he hates our party's ideology of enforcing our borders and lowering taxes (amongst several other issues).

McCain will meet his end in Florida.

Romney has the momentum and will win the nomination.

The New York Times has backed John McCain and Hillary Clinton in their bids for presidential candidacy. I live in California and I use the internet to get news so I'm not familiar with what goes on in the Far East. But does anybody still read the New York Times?

Speaking of civil- I have been concerned to consistently see Obama supporters-presumably Democrats-snarling that if Clinton wins the nomination, they will vote Republican (or not vote at all and risk a Republican win). I have yet to see the same type of statements made by Clinton supporters. For me, these "Democrats" lose credibility- how can I take seriously your understanding and commitment to core democratic issues if you are willing to toss your vote for a candidate (Republican) who is a complete 180 from our main issues. Seems not to be a very mature or rational voter....Just my thoughts..hope this gets through moderation.

thescoundrel:
"The Democrat Ticket could very well be H.Clinton/B.Clinton."

Uh, no it couldn't. Read your constituion. The president and vice president must be from different states. Unless you're aware of a pending separation or divorce the rest of us are not, such a ticket would be unconstitutional.

Why the sudden outrage? Why the name calling of Hillary? Do you think what you say here matters? Whatever your opinion in the internet stays in cyberspace; people outside of your machine doesn't think like any of you. In fact sensible people consider a lot of this name calling of candidates immature, pitiful in every conceivable way; very disrespectful.

Do you think by calling Hillary all kinds of names will make people vote for Obama? Its the exact opposite, they'll shy away from him because of militant attitude by his supporters and it reflects DIRECTLY on Obama.

Chill out! You're not gaining brownie points with your militant attitude against Hillary, you're burying Obama, you have no one to blame when he lost, its YOUR fault.

They look like to freakin bed bugs!

Too bad those are the 2 candidates I would most had to have to decide between...

We're watching campaigns based on personality (celebrity) rather than public policy. Watching the Democrat party in action is like watching "Entertainment Tonight." We don't need Paris Hilton or Briteny Spiers. We've got Bill & Hillary. We get the latest on their lives each night on TV. Then there's Barack Obama. The press is trying to make him a superstar - a man with few credentials to recommend him to the highest office in the land. He's not very entertaining. We have to endure his lofty speeches that are nothing more than sugar for the uninformed. But never mind that Hillary and Barack's positions on domestic and foreign affairs are both reckless and dangerous. It's not important. Hillary is good entertainment. She's worth tuning in to each night. Why worry about higher taxes and terrorism when we have such good entertainment? My only complaint is that I wish the press would stop picking on Bill Clinton. He is the most entertaining of all.

McCain knows that he could trust his captures at the Hanoi Hilton more than he can trust a Clinton. McCain is an Officer and a Gentleman but he knows how to win a fight, a battle, and a war unlike the cut and run Clintons and their democrat buddies. To you democrats you cannot break McCain with your political torture, he has been tortured by some of the best from Hanoi and their allies. Also McCain did not mysteriuosly disapear or die like some of the other "Friends of Bill".

I love it when facts fly in the face of well-defined stereotypes!!

You gotta be kiddin me Bill. You will start your attacks as soon as the nominations are in. That is also why as an independent if Obama looses to Hillary I along with millions of others will be voting for John McCain, whom I don't agree on some matters, but I respect him. Something I can't do with you and Hillary since you Bush Whacked the Democratic party.

"She and John McCain are very close," Clinton said. "They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."

Bill Clinton has made a lot of idiotic statements recently but this has got to be the most ignorant statement of all. The Clinton’s are all about power, they would sell their souls for another chance at the White House. They would only play nice with McCain if they were winning by 50% points in every state and had 0 chance of loosing.

The spirit in this country has been trashed since the 2000 election (regardless of who you think should have been president). The fact is, people are divided and unfortunately the far left will go off the deep end if another Republican gets in office. They simply will not give him a chance. This is a shame because I think McCain is a true moderate that owes no favors to the republican base.

Does anyone believe that putting Hillary in office will help heal this country? Half of this country hates her right now. The divide will still be there and the hatred will continue.

At least Obama wants to lift this countries spirits. After all, that’s really all that Reagan did on the heels of the Carter administration. He made us believe in ourselves and that’s what we need again.

Wow, Clinton/McCain, yeah, that would be the ticket of, uh, change.

It would be a balanced ticket, though; Clinton gets war supporters who are now a little ashamed of supporting the war, and McCain gets war supporters who think teh war is so super awesome that we should start another just for fun!

Hilliary Clintons and John Mc Cain John Mc Cain will beat Clintons HIllary don't have a chance up against Mc Cain. But Obama has my vote

This is a sly bit of attempted manipulation by President Clinton, but really, and I never thought I would find myself saying this, can he not shut up for a week? He's running his own reputation through a wood chipper in my opinion, and that's BAD for the Democratic Party.

If you like the way the country is being ran, then, by all means, vote for either Hillary or McCain. If you don't, don't.

No true conservative will vote for McCain in the primary. And will only vote for him in the general election default. I'm glad Billary said what he did. Now maybe we can vote a real conservative (or as close to one as possible because these other two are not on par with the Reagans of the world).

Yes the Clintons think Americans are Stupid! Bill was elected TWICE wasn't he?!?!

McCain is a total sell out, out of touch, more of the same. His mother gripes that his base does not support him... No kidding... McCain drew first blood by trying to sell out his base with immigration. The liberal press supports McCain because he is a RINO (Republican In Name Only), and the next best thing to a liberal democrat.

Vote McCain or Clinton and our country is gone. They are both sell outs.

Bill must have read my prediciton blog – took him quite a while though. However: He didn't mention Giuliani yet, is that fact?

Best regards... way to go!

Corporate media sniped off every Democrat so far down to 2, which is VP ? Why don't they just cancel the election and have the leading 2 candidates from either party be president and VP ? that would be very much in line with the death of democracy we've been headed towards.

Clintons great losers of 2008 presidential election. America... let's bet...

So can someone tell me if she is telling us that they are enemies with Obama by the nature of the campaign? well remember the inclusion of one thing implies the exclusion of another?? someone tell me please.

So she has a nasty campaign with the Obama camp because they are not close? Somebody tell me...remember the inclusion of one thing implies the exclusion of another..........

Billy boy forgot the part about them also basically being cut from the same cloth which would make this the first election where one portion of the electorate had no choice for a candidate even remotely representing their views. It would end up primarily as a fight for moderate and liberal votes since McCain as a supposed Republican is incapable of appealing to the base of his own party. And if you have any idea of what the founders of this country wrote as supporting documentation in regards to the Constitution you would know that a lot of Conservative values in regards to the powers of government are much closer to being in line with the outline for the government then the monstrosity that has resulted from continued re-interpretation of the Constitution with little to no regard as to the supporting writings by the founders.

Why wouldnt Hillary like McCain, He's probably the only man thats been a real gentleman to her. More that can be said about her hubby.

Here is the FUNNY difference:

McCain is AGAINST WATERBOARDING!

Clinton is NOT AGAINST WATERBOARDING!

Ahhhh, funny times aint it.

Ron Paul is a simpleton. Sorry. When he comapred Iraq to Vietnam, he showed that he didn't have any idea about what happened in post-war Vietnam. How can I vote for somebody like that? Plus, he gets up at debates and yells. I don't like that.

""She and John McCain are very close," "

Is it talking about their vote to go to war with Iraq....yes, they are very close on that one...in fact they both voted yes. Wow.

What's truly unfortunate is that a lot of Americans are buying this BS and wasting a perfectly good vote for General Clinton. At least Obama would get a great number of republican votes and can actually win the general. A republican would rather vote for Satan than a Clinton.

Those of you who are saying Mccain and Hillary would be a great ticket are forgetting one thing: they fundamentally disagree on the war with Macian wanting more troops in Iraq. They can never work together. This is just a fantasy.

Bill is using reverse psychology again, like his prediction on Hillary's losing in South Carolina and he had accused black people for only voting for a black candidate. To me, Obama is such a worthy candidate across race and gender. Bill is full of it. Now he predicts a civilized general election for Hillary and McCain?

My question to Bill: I am confident in McCain being civilized, but what will make Hillary any different fighting with McCain form the way she fights with someone from her own party? Why doesn't she extend the courtesy now to Obama?

Can the media please concentrate in the issues? please, can we have news real news, what matters?
Hillary and Bill will say whatever to get to power, .............. even that they are close to Senator McCain. lets see if that is true..

So I guess I am confused but it seems Bill is doing most of the talking?! Is he running again or is it Hillary?? OBAMA 2008

If it ends up being those two then McCain should negotiate becoming Clinton's VP and save us the gas on election day...they're both made for each other and liberal to boot. Hillary can raise taxes and John can open the borders!

There is hope for us.......Not only do Republicans see this but so do most of the democats, including me, that Hillary is the one least likely to win the presidential ticket. If it were Clinton versus McCain, guarenteed McCain will win. If it is Obama versus McCain, we have a serious race on our hands. I like both of them.....I would like to see both of them Obama for president and McCain for vice president.

We need change!!!

I hope you all WAKE UP and realize our economy needs help. Pick a president that can stimulate the economy. Don't vote for someone that will raise your taxes. Vote for someone with experience. VOTE ROMNEY.

America is not about Dynasties. We need someone with a last name that isn’t Bush/Clinton.

The Clintons are making a mockery of the democratic process. After all the lies and deceiptful tactics now comes poor justification.
Bill: you're getting old! How can you logically justify your wife proving divisive to the Democratic party by stating she will work well with the opposing party?
It seems words don't mean anything to you anymore. You and your wife have been throwing all the dirt you can come up with, against candidates of your own party. And, this after only a couple of primary elections. Now you're promising a more civilized general election. Do you expect us to believe this B.S?
The fractures you have been inflicting on the Democratic voters in your recent attacks against Obama will catch up with you.
Maybe then you'd snap out of your current state of denial.

Barack Obama has a long history of choosing people above ego and greed. He worked as a community organizer in Chicago out of college, turning down, (documented) over 700 corporate six figure jobs. Instead he made 14 g's helping out of work steel mill workers.

He was a civil rights attorney and a constitutional law professor. he will follow then law after he's elected. That's the key.

The executive branch has more power currently thanks to Bush than any other presidency in history. It's nearly or completely dictatorial.

Do you really believe that Hillary and Bill Clinton would give up that power?

one thing that the last few days has proven to me, is that they won't give it up. They'll be just as dictatorial and slimey as Bush has been. Just as manipulative.

They'll say and do anything, anything to remain in power, even if it means destroying their own party and their own nation in the process.

I'm insensed at them. I've lost all respect for them.

If Barack Obama isn't the nominee, I'm staying home. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton.

I'm not some radical nut either. I'm a lifelong Democrat and a pretty sensible guy.

The tactics they've used to race bait and divide simply prove to me that they cannot be trusted with the keys to the car. They'd wreck it even worse than that drunken fool Bush already has.

I'm not along for the ride anymore. I'm taking the wheel of this election by participating.

I suggest every one else on this board do the same. Take that feeling and get out on the streets and talk to people in the real world where it counts.

get the right person elected for a change, an honest person, one that has integrity and honor and strength all in one because that's the kind of strength that matters in a true leader.

no more snake oil salesmen. Get the vote out for Barack Obama and change the world.

When it comes to the White House Hillary believes she is entitled to because of one term in the senate and many years as the wife of an ex-governor and ex-president, she is not likely to maintain civility toward McCain if he is the Republican nominee.

Personally, I believe that she has brought a nascent anger into the campaign, along with personal disappointment in her man, her marriage, and herself.

But she has no right to take out her negative feelings on Obama. Let her take them to a therapist and work through them.

Don't sensor my post, CNN. I don't link to any sites, and all of my claims are sourced and cited. Let me have my right to free speech. You guys do still beleive in free speech, don't you?

Hillary Clinton Accepted Almost $60,000 In Contributions From Employees Of Cisco Systems, Which
Laid Off American Workers to Hire Indian “Techies.” Clinton’s Presidential Exploratory Committee took
$39,450 from Cisco employees during the first quarter of 2007. Cisco employees have also donated $18,900 to
Clinton’s Senate committee between 1999 and 2006. Forbes reported, in a feature called “A Tale of Two Cities”
that Cisco was laying off $60,000-a-year “techies,” while hiring new employees in Bangalore, India. “Cisco
used only a few Infosys workers in Bangalore six years ago [in 1998]; [by 2004, it used] almost 300 contract
staff, plus 550 full-fledged employees in its own Bangalore office.” In 2006, Newsweek reported that “for
Cisco, India is the new frontier, where it’s investing $1.2 billion to build a gleaming R&D campus that will
employ 3,000 people.” [FEC filings; Forbes, 4/12/04; Newsweek, 3/6/06]

"Whats the big deal about Bill Clinton adding his two cents? EVERY OTHER candidate spouse is spewing their own garbage."

Every other candidate's spouse is not a former president, habitual liar and philanderer. Bill is not just another spouse. He is the poster child of the old Democrat Guard and slash and burn politics.

I have to say that those who "no longer believe" in the Clinton legacy just because of a few backbiting comments are pretty foolish.

It never ceases to amaze me that people go on and on about Hillary Clintons supposed experience. What experience. She is one of the most junior members of the Senate. She has held no previous elected office. Her prior work experience is no more than most anyone seeking elected office or even most general citizens. Her work history is also of questionable ethics. Her only claim to experience is as first lady, and what should that count for. Her only project early on was her health care thing, which was a joke. Her own party wouldn't support it. It was that bad. After that she did the same sort of first lady stuff that Laura, and Barbara Bush did. Media crap.
Her experience is a myth. There are thousands maybe millions of Americans far more qualified than she is, Even the pathetic crop that the republicans are putting up are more qualified. Mike Huckabee is more qualified for crying out loud and I wouldn't vote him on to the school board.
Her big claim to experience is that she was married to Bill Clinton, and as I've said before if sleeping with Bill is presidential experience there are many women more qualified than Hillary.

what do you expect. mccain is a democrat and his friends all democrats,

george bush is a liberal democrat fron new haven, CT.

the media lies to us and calls these old washington insiders conservative.

bill clinton is more republican than any of them except on judges and abortion.

Nothing much being said about the Kennedy-McCain amnesty bill....I'm amazed that no one is saying Anything about the Invading disease carrying crud balls from across the border.
If either Hillary or McCain wins....America loses. Their position is clear concerining an open border.

lets ask a conservitave republican if they could posibley support a truley consevitiv e black person. ask Sean Hannity

It is my greatest hope that Hillary runs against, and defeats McCain in the '08 election. If Obama gets the democratic nomination, MY democratic vote will not be cast, on contrary, I'd vote republican for the first time ever! It matters not to me who makes nice, or who is busy slinging mud! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

After working over 40 years, I am retired and recently had to undergo very successful open heart surgery, performed by an excellent surgeon. I am very thankful that the surgeon's wife did not perform the operation. She is NOT a surgeon, but has lived in the same house with my surgeon. Hillary's experience, as hyped by the press, is as phony as a $3.00 bill. I have been a lifelong Democrat, but her husband, Bill, has caused me to become more independent in my thinking. How CNN can back a liar and wife who is also a liar is beyond my understanding and you leave about as much doubt as the New York Times. You both do a great disservice to John McCain, a strong, courageous, and inspiring man. I certainly do now want him to become president, but he is head and shoulders above Bill and Hillary.

The democrats really want McCain to win the Republican nomination because they will crucify him come November. With McCain's pro-war stance in Iraq, they will bring it up and up and then he will be toast. The only reason the news media is not focusing on the lost lives in Iraq is because of the elections. But as soon as the nominations for each party ends, the media will bring it up again.

No to Iraq war! No to McCain! Yes to someone who understands economics. Yes to Mitt Romney.

I wonder, if I asked any of you who blindly support Obama because he makes you "feel good", what you say as to why you are voting for a certain candidate.

These posts are full of vile, adolescent, abusive comments that bear zero weight on issues or reality. Welcome to America, where we make Jerry Springer look like Walter Cronkite when it comes time to vote!!

This is why my country has fallen into despair while my last two presidential votes attributed to a popular win with an electorial loss, and a slim popular and electorial loss. It's almost as though you are all willing to throw our short history away because some young man, who has speaking abilities, makes you think he can run a country and lead us out of the mess we're in. He says he's going to bring change, and you think by some miracle of God that it will come?

Politicians are liars. All of them. It's the nature of their business. You want to call Clinton a liar, fine. She's been around long enough to be known by this country, and therefore, is a politician and a liar. Obama has done nothing, but the day will come when you realize his earliest lie was that he was a candidate for change. God help us all if we have to learn that the hard way.

Prior to the last couple of weeks I was an Obama fan, but still liked the Clintons. Now after Bill's relentless (and unwarranted) attacks on Obama, I am beginning to despise him and Hillary. Do we really think their negativity will stop if she gets the nomination? Absolutely not. This election, whether Democrat or Rebublican, people are looking for change, they are looking for someone to bring our country together. Hillary Clinton is not the answer. Look at the above comments. She and her hubby are already doing a great job and dividiing us, even within the Democratic Party. Please, everyone, go out and tell your friends and family to vote.....and vote for OBAMA! Someone who will bring us all together!

OBAMA 2008!

Make no mistake about it folks. McCain and Hillary are and have been buddies for a long time. JOHN MCCAIN IS A LIBERAL FOLKS!!

Just do the right thing and vote for Mitt Romney.

Wake up Florida! ROMNEY is our only hope.

VOTE on Tuesday

we need the hillary she the best of all she good whit all the people black and white and spanish obame will take care of his people before take care of us white people

Jaun McCain needs to run for president of Mexico. Mr. "National Security" has done NOTHING to secure the Arizona Border in the 20+ years he has been "representing" Arizona.

Of course Clinton and McCain get along: they are exactly the same-they are only concerned about themselves, they will say anything to get elected, and fix absolutely NOTHING in Washington.

It's time for Washington to SHUT UP, QUIT COMPLAINING, and GET TO WORK!

The Clintons and McCain are not capable of accomplishing anything constructive for the United States.

As Al Sharpton said, during the 90's, the Clinton's power rose and the Democratic Party's declined.

As Tom Delay has said, M<CCain has done more to destroy the Republican Party than anyone else.

I think we need to send an Exorcist to Washington!!!

Being a Canadian, I might not have a right to submit my opinion on your politics, but considering your economy is so tied in with ours, and American foriegn policy has been directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths and impoverishment of countless numbers of ppl worldwide, this is not to say Americans in general are evil, but your rep. is seriously tarnished in the world. After reading comments here there seems to be a general consensus that you want change in the way your gov. does business, but after watching your newscoverage it is very apparent that there will be no change whatsoever, corporations and greed will continue to rule your domestic and foreign policies. I was brainwashed just like everybody else about bush’s Iraq campaign, and chavez being evil, putin bringing back the cold war, etc. etc. as your so called american free press reported, and then I read Naomi Klein’s shock doctrine and actually followed up on her research and lo and behold she is not just a crackpot, the book was extensively researched and documented. The bush administrations crimes and believe me they are crimes, are so blatant and out in the open, that the only reason he has not been impeached is that we as a public have become immune to govt. corruption and we are just letting them get away with it. Don't think that I am only browbeating your politicians ours are just as bad. It is totally staggering to me that your government allows Dick Cheney to hold on to stock from haliburton, which has made billions off of a war that he vigorously supported and lied to the American public not to mention congress on invading Iraq. Not only should that wealth be stripped from him and given back to the American taxpayer he should be charged, just like any other C.E.O. that has ripped off shareholders, unfortunately the shareholders are the American public. I only make light of Cheney because he is the most prominent figure, many, many more have profited from their position from a war that has killed thousands of american soldiers and an estimated 655,000 Iraqi’s, which is probably a very low figure. I have many American friends who are very good ppl, but your government and corporations have completely trashed your name in the world sphere, Wherever I travel Americans are despised, think about that when you vote for your next leader.

I am so glad I don't know you people that are posting these untrue things about Hillary. Seems like the media and people like you only want to remember the bad things on the Clintons. Put yourself up there and see if your life is perfect. Hillary is putting herself out her to try to help us recover from the mess BUSH has made the last 7 years. Spending every dime Bill Clinton had in surplus and lots more to get us in deep debt and war. You people see what happens when someone is in office that doesn't have the qualifications to run the country....LOOK AT BUSH? How many of you will on up to voting for HIM?
WAKE-UP! CLINTON had some great accomplishments for our country, but you narrow minded people only want to critize him for the bad things which the media has had a field day with for years.
Hillary is running for President because she is qualified and ready to make a change in the right direction completely opposite from where BUSH has us now.
As far as Romney, we already had one ( G.W. BUSH) that bought his way into the presidency and see how that turned out. Wake -Up people We need someone that is qualified with experience. Don't think for one minute that the terroist are not watching our election again closely. We looked like a fool last time with the hanging chads and not letting the votes be counted. Don't try to rig or buy the election. Let the people look at HER qualifications and vote for us to make history in having the FIrst woman President. She is doing all of this for us. STOP CRITIZING Hillary she is smart, intellegent, qualified person for the job that just happens to be a woman!
VOTE Hillary 2008-2012
Save America NOW

Clinton/McCain ticket. Well they're both pro war. It makes sense.

How nice. Do you think Hillary would accept to be McCain's vice president ?

The only way Hilary wins the general election is if she divorces Bill quickly. People will begin to imagine him in the white house again and get queasy.

i am amazed at the sheer arrogance of the clintons. do they seriously think the rest of America is so inept and stupid that we can't find one other person to lead this country whose name doesn't end with clinton? with all the brilliant Americans out there, why is it that we have to keep on returning to the same people? i thought about it today and for some reason it just makes me OUTRAGED. are the clinton's so greedy that they have to control this nation for the maximum time? where is the self-sacrificial nature that our first President displayed when he graciously declined to be a monarch? if hillary clinton really wants this to be about the country (as she so famously expressed in her emotional moment before NH) then she should let some of the other amazing Americans have a chance. let's face it, she has very few political accomplishments of her OWN when you take away Bill. i'm not quite sure why some people are so slavishly devoted to the clintons that they can't even see through their shamelessly manipulative tricks.

I thoght word from the Clinton Machine was that a Democratic candidate should never mention the name of a Republican let alone say they were buds. Oh, but I forgot, Bill can say any illogical, non-rational statement he wants and no one is accountable ... least of all Hillary.

Hillary Clinton Accepted Almost $60,000 In Contributions From Employees Of Cisco Systems, WhichLaid Off American Workers to Hire Indian “Techies.” Clinton’s Presidential Exploratory Committee took $39,450 from Cisco employees during the first quarter of 2007. Cisco employees have also donated $18,900 to Clinton’s Senate committee between 1999 and 2006. Forbes reported, in a feature called “A Tale of Two Cities” that Cisco was laying off $60,000-a-year “techies,” while hiring new employees in Bangalore, India.

“Cisco used only a few Infosys workers in Bangalore six years ago [in 1998]; [by 2004, it used] almost 300 contract staff, plus 550 full-fledged employees in its own Bangalore office.” In 2006, Newsweek reported that “for Cisco, India is the new frontier, where it’s investing $1.2 billion to build a gleaming R&D campus that will
employ 3,000 people.” [FEC filings; Forbes, 4/12/04; Newsweek, 3/6/06]

I cannot for the life of me, figure out why anyone would vote for the Clinton's to be back in the White House. Isn't the frey that is going on right now enough to have people realize what it is going to be like with them in power? The lies, aggression, dirty tricks are sickening and I can't stand the idea that these power-mongers would be in control for four to eight years. The fact that women want a woman in power is ludicrous! Sex or race is not the reason to vote for someone. It is who is the best person to run this country. Never mind race or gender.... give us someone who can lead!!!!!

HILLARY, THE FIRST WOMEN'S PRESIDENT OF UNITEDSTATES 2008. 1000000% SURE WILL WIN.

Lea January 25, 2008 10:30 pm ET

The best thing for this country: Hillary as president and McCain as vice president! Now THATS an unbeatable ticket."

Believe it or not, you are not the only one thinking of this.. talking about unity.. keep the ideology for those who want this, but have a technocratic approach in running the country .

It was a time when I thought a Clinton/Obama ticket would be good, but that guy is too arrogant and his lack of substance is sometime incredible. He promotes a left-wing ideology, although sometime is hard to say what he has on his mind.

We need to get the real information on this Obama character. He has been given a free ride on the media of the cnn and msnbc shows. Check him OUT!
This election is too improtant to be turned over to someone that doesn't have the experience or qualifications to be President....Look what happend with BUSH!
The only one that is really qualified to be President is Hillary. She will make a better Presidnet than Bill did and he has been our BEST President in the last 30 years. During his time we have no war, and big surplus, cheaper gas & groceries, better job, no territoist attacksbetter insurance with lower premiums and better coverage. Well I would gladly go back to those times. All the media wants to do is remember the bad thing about Bill Clinton and not look at the wonderful accomplishments he made. BUT this election is about Hillary and she will make a BETTER Presidnet that Bill did. She is a strong, smart, qualified woman that can take this mess Bush will leave her and make the RIGHT changes for our country to become the BEST WOMAN PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. We can recover and make history IF we will LOOK at her qualifications and stop giving her a hard time. FORGET the race and the gender and focus on her record and qualifications.
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 2008-2012!

I say Hillary loses 98 states, if history is a reliable guide. Take the McGovern anti war landslide and add to it the Mondale tax raising 49 state loss. Add in the '94 congressional election on Hillarycare for good measure. I don't think the country has changed. It has voted against Universal Health care since Truman first proposed it. Then it was a new idea. Now countries that tried it, all those other industrialized countries, are moving away from it because it has proved unsatisfactory.

I'm quite sure that Hillary and Mcain would have a civil campaign. They are two of a kind. Outside of the Iraq war they are alike in almost every way. Illegal aliens yep. Censorship you got it. Socialism Ahh yeah baby, two peas in a pod. An election between those two would be a referendum on the war, and a popularity contest. Hillary would win the first Mcain the second. Whoever won, we would lose. If you want a democrat vote for a democrat. If you want a republican don't nominate Mcain.
Ron Paul 2008

That little bit just cemented my vote for Romney. Better a businessman who you suspect will screw you than 2 Washington insiders who are guaranteed to do so.

Lea
that's crazy, she can't even have a relationship with her husband.

most civilized. this would definitely by a landslide for the republicans. I think they are hoping she wins. If Obama wins it might make it a little more interesting. Look at the picture this HAG looks decades older than McCain

I'm tired of hearing that McCain can win a Democrat. Have we all forgotten, with exception of the War, he is a Democrat. He's one of only 2 republicans that opposed the well accepted Bush Taxes. 70% of americans want out of the WAR. He's the most PRO war (Democrat) we've ever seen. Hillary will eat him up on the war issue just because it's so unpopular. He admits he doesn't understand the economy. Republican Base hates him almost as much, if not more than Hillary. As sad as it is, I'd prefer to let Hillary take office over this guy. Republicans will have a field day in 2011.

Yep, Hillary Clinton and John McCain- real option for change there! Wake up America!

Now Hillary, dear isn't that the same dress you wore when in your winning speach in New Hampshire?

Oh...I get it...it's your "good luck" dress. Well dear I don't think anyone but me noticed anyway.

The biased left-wing media "journalists" want the American people, who they despise and look down on, to vote for commie Clinton and McCain. The "elite" media obviously thinks that Americans are scum and need to be taken care of from cradle to grave.

Hillary is a flaming socialist ands McCain is nothing but a leftist liberal with red sticker.

"The comments may not be welcome by the McCain camp — which yesterday faced fire from several of its rivals for winning the backing of the New York Times — a longtime archenemy of conservatives."

So conservatives are mad because the New York Times likes one of them? This is actually significant enough that Republicans would consider not supporting someone solely because the NYT endorses them? This makes absolutely no sense, what was Romney saying "Ha ha, you're popular! That means I'm somehow better!" or something?

Those who make judgements about these candidates need to pay attention to where they get their opinions. I'd rather trust the NYT/CNN than right wing bloggers who paint the Clintons in bad colors every chance they get. It's Clinton Impeachment Redeux! Anti Cinton emails with a clear GOP leaning have circulated the web now for 7 years. The right has a complete JONES about the Clintons. They already torpedoed the best candidate they had before GWB, which was McCain. They did that in SC 8 years ago. Now look what we got... a guy of the Nixon mold!

Now, with the economy in Hoover shambles, a war nobody wants, a deficit to bring our children to tears, the GOP dares to tell us how things should be after they hooked and crooked their guy into office TWICE?

Lets face it, the GOP needs to spend not less than 4 years in "TIME OUT" to reconsider why they're no longer fit to govern. Conservatism is a good thing but their lust for power clearly is about ends justifying means. Will we fall for that again?

Too bad McCain isn't right enough for them. I think he might bring some morality back to the party and that's the best medicine the GOP needs after these decades of trickery. I'd vote for him or Hillary either one. I only wish it was McCAIN ending his second term and not BUSH. The USA and the world would be in vastly better health had that happened. We must ask our GOP friends why that didn't happen and hold them responsible!

As far as i remember, there were more jobs, economy was good, balance budget, surplus, during the Clinton's presidency. America was well respected around the world. He's approval rating is still high among Americans. Those who can't stand him, too bad, he 's not gonna go away.

not on your life liberals!

Lea: I love the Hillary-McCain ticket.

A lot of people complain about the candidates, but I feel we have a great choice in this election. There are several good candidates from Hillary and Obama on the Dems side and McCain and Romney on the Republican side. I haven't seen such good candidates in years.

After Bill Clinton, a Democrat, spews an untold amount of hatred for Obama, another Democrat, and now says that McCain, a Republican, would be a good opponent for his wife makes one wonder about Bill's label of being the first "black" president. The man would rather speak kindly about a member of the opposing party (who happens to be white) than one of his own party (that happens to be black).

Thus, all that can be said is, "Shame on you," Bill!!! You keep wagging that finger, Bubba, but make sure to do it in front of a mirror!

not on your life!

The Democrat Ticket could very well be H.Clinton/B.Clinton.

I am almost positive that this particular comment will not be heard on T.V., due to it's content, my thoughts about the gender versus race, first and for most it should not even be an issue, it should be about who realistically will do the job for our nation, second, i still do not see the issue, as for the last 8 years we have had a
seriously handicapped individual behind the wheel, even if someday an adult handicapped individual will be able to run.........i am still positive this person would do a much better job, they would at least have some heart, and far more courage......
what can i say..........thank you Anderson Cooper for keeping it real....

Hillary Clinton has the qualities for being the next prez.Obama is a chief liar and he is a non-issue.he thinks he would become the nominee because he is black.being a black person is not the criteria to become a nominee

i love hillary

You just don't get it. If McCain gets the nomination, the Republicans who voted for his opposition will sit out the election. Hillary won't have to do anything. Republicans will let Hillary show her true self for 4 years and then take over in 2012. McCain is nothing but a RINO. There is really no difference between him and Hillary. At least the Republicans will have a clean slate of candidates for the next election and not have to worry about a liberal incumbent.

Has anyone thought about the fact that many many countries do not see women in the same way as we do in America? Most women do not hold the same rights as men in alot of the countries that we are at "war" with. As a women, i have seen countless times where my husbands opinion was taken more seriously, for example, the mechanic...so, do you think that these countries and their leaders and their terror organizations would maybe feel that as a country, we are less protected, more vulnerable, because a woman is in "power", considering they view women as "less" than men? I think its dangerous territory.

Maybe hillary & John can run as President & V.President for the Democratic Party, they are a better fit than John as a Republican. With McCain heading the Republican slate, there will be a serious 3rd party cand. representing the conmservative wing of the Republican Party.

CNN, your election coverage borders on the ludicrous. Although you looked good on the Daily show.

John Edwards is a bigger flip flopper than anyone...

HILLARY for President in '08! and '12! Democrats for Life!

There is very little difference in the platforms and ideas of Hillary Clinton and John McCain. They would both be very much like our current President Bush. They would not change America for the better; in fact nothing would change, and even the economy will continue to tank!!!

Give me a break......We are to believe that the Clinton's will run a cilvilized campaign if they are running against McCain......The Clinton's will unmercifully attack anyone that is running against them. Shame on them.....

There are many ideological similarities between Senators McCain and Clinton and quite frankly they should be members of the same party. And too, both would do equal damage to this country as President. The main difference is that with McCain we can keep Bill out to pasture where he belongs.

In my opinion, this is a shrewd move on Bill's part, designed more to anger the Republicans than to charm the Democrats. Hillary's "experience" platform would be worthless against McCain but will hold up against Romney. If Bill can successfully link Hillary with McCain, McCain's chances of winning the Republican primary will be significantly diminished and Hillary would be facing a more "beatable" Republican candidate.

The other Steve is a freaking idiot! "He say's he respects both of them".
What a loon. What a loser! I'm laughing my butt off.

My coment,is that whenGeorge W Bush was runnig for office didn,t he have have his dad george h bush ,and barbara bush campaning and makeing speechesfor him and ididn,t here one companint from anybody the reason they are complaning know is because BILL HAS A DAM GOOD TRACK RECORD.

backbone,

What do you find uncivilized about my comment? Is it because I used the word "crock"? What would I do if I were in Hillary's position? Well, I would never have done or said many of the things she has, so I will never be in her position. She is an intelligent, accomplished politician, and one who I used to admire. She has been through a lot in her life and has clearly had the strength to overcome that adversity and become very successful. That being said, I have lost my admiration for her because in my opinion she cares more about winning the race than about the state of the Democratic party or the state of this nation.

You have the right to believe that Obama is the bad guy and Hillary and Bill are victims and vote accordingly–that's what freedom is all about. However, it's my opinion that two people as politically brilliant as Hillary and Bill Clinton are not victims in any way. Everything they say and do in the public arena, when the cameras are around, is a political maneuver. I appreciate their Democratic ideas, I agree with many of their positions, and I commend them for all they have acheived in their careers. But I find them to be increasingly uncivilized when it comes to the way they operate the campaign, and I feel they have exploited many of the social tensions in this country for political gain. That is not a civilized way to behave, especially for a former president and first lady.

Let's be honest, though. You and I are different people, we have different perspectives, and we view this election through separate paradigms. But isn't it possible that the truth lies somewhere in between?

I'm plenty capable of a civilized debate, and I'm sure you are too. The problem seems to be that many of the candidates are not.

Real issues for our country are being ignored.
1 We are borrowing against future of our children. No society has done this in human history.
2 Lost opportunity to save energy and break the back of countries that will hold us hostage in the future.
3 Importing trinckets that we don't need from China and other countries.
3 Lack of personal savings.
4 Regulations that break the back of American small businesses not to mention the complex tax code.
Who will deal with these problems? Perhaps a future military ruler of USA?
5 Fewer Americans vote (percentage of eligible voters) than India and Iraq.
What democracy? What election?
6 Politicians who do not have the nerve to tackle entitlements that grow at exponential rate will bankrupt our country.
I don't care who wins. It wont matter if we dont change our behavior as a nation.

Hillary – Talk about being afraid of someone!! Why is it all these American's pick someone they know nothing about.... I see change but only from the Americam people... DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE VOTING...DON'T JUMP TO THE IDEA THAT JUST BECAUSES SOMEONE IS YOUNG THERES GOING TO CHANGE , OR BLACK OR EVEN WHITE OR EVEN A FEMALE... The American people make change so stop trying to find a savor and look to someone who really can get us the hell out of this BUSH MESS! But I must say EVERYONE FEARS THE CLINTIONS I WONDER WHY? REALLY?

Hill, Bill and McCain can have walker races on the White House lawn while Obama runs circles around them.

Bill sees that McCain is the only republician polling ahead of all the Dems and took a shot that looks happy but drives a dagger in McCain's back. This is a very cunning and dirty move. If McCain is the only Republician that can beat Clinton why not makes sure she doesn't have to run against him. I think Bill said stick to the racism and continue bashing Obama because it teh genreal is Obama v. McCain its the country that wins not Hillary.

Hillary and McCain on the same ticket. Well the geriatric base is covered. It will be so great to see a new generation in the Democratic Party.

Folks need to get over their fear of strong women. Deal with it.

As for Bill, people need to look in the mirror and admit the truth, 8 years of economic growth and budget surpluses = a VERY successful Presidency. Bill and Hillary Clinton are well-respected worldwide, in spite of the ravings of some of you.

Hillary and McCain would be a fair electoral fight, either way the country will be fine.

Lee

Let's start an "ABC" GROUP, ANYBODY BUT CLINTON.

"Love Fest" between Hillary and McCain, thanks for the mental picture BILL!!!.

We'll it seems Obama is in trouble Nationally, he's starting to slide...Obama 2016

unbelievable if you americans choose another Clinton,
if you do, you deserve her !

How could possibly two of the worst candidates from each party get the nom? Is this country that far gone? A choice between Hillary or McCain= Vote for a 3rd party out of protest!

Never will I cast a vote for either of them!

Obama or Mitt will have my vote.

Hillary understands that next president have to work with both parties to deliver results.
Hillary will be a great president!

where's the outrage over that new photo of the Clinton's with REZKO himself, where's CNN article about this ? Why is CNN staying mum about it ALL DAY ? Come on CNN I know you're being called the Clinton News Network , but at least try to put on a face, do something , your CNN for crying out loud don't be so darn obvious on your Clinton biais ! GGGod! Geesh.

John McCain has sided withGeorge Bush and backed him on every issue, from not securing the border, to tax cuts for the uber-wealthy, to selling American Ports to Dubai. And yes, Clinton is cut from the same cloth. this is why we need somebody new – not the same old tired re-treads.

Anybody But Hillary Clinton, though I would vote for McCain before I would vote for her, if it came down to the choice of the lesser of those 2 evils.

The best thing for this country: Hillary as president and McCain as vice president! Now THATS an unbeatable ticket.

I rest my case. See all the lib comments that they are ok with either Hillary , McCain or Obama. If McCain is the GOP nominee, then I do hope Hillary or Obama wins. At least when the economy tanks, we are possibly attacked again, and we have 40 million new citizens thru the amnesty program, it will be on the Democrats watch, I just hope the country will survive so that a Republican can save our hides again in 4 years.

McCain is a liberal. Why does he consider himself a Republican? Oh, that's right, Republicans are liberals too. Except Ron Paul, of course.

Obama has been in elected office 2 years longer than Hillary. You keep talking about the experience issue. While Ms. Clinton has been being a politicians wife for the last god-knows-how-long, Obama has been a Constitutional Lawyer, Constitutional Law Professor, Community Organizer, President of the Harvard Law Review, State Senator for 8 years, and US Senator for 2 years. Hillary has riden her husbands coat tails. Get real. If you actually go onto his website and read the pages and pages of policy he has outlines you would realize his policies are realistic and will get done, not like Hillaries. Obama has a Universal Healthcare plan that my anti-universal healthcare Republican husband can agree with. Because it is logical. Hillary is way more idealisr than Obama. The sooner you start researching for yourself and quit listening to Hillary and Bill's stump speaches, the better.

ABC..
Anybody But Clinton!
Clinton fatigue is setting in big time!

Okay, Steve, and I have some beach front property here in New Mexico I'd like to sell you too. geez...... give me a break!!

So Bill foresees a civilized campaign between Hillary and John McCain while injecting race into the primary contest against Obama.

Obama and McCain are high minded.

The Clintons are not.

Sic semper Dogpatch.

sorry... just read comments... anyone that thinks Clinton would compliment McCain because he wants to run against McCain is a moron. That's not how it works... Clinton knows his words are considered smut by Republicans... if he compliments someone, he knows it has the reverse affect.

If he was "afraid of Romney", he would be complimenting Romney. Tis politics, baby!!

By the way... am friends will all registered Republicans... work with all registered Republicans... every single one of them, without a single exception, has said they will not vote for Romney should he get the nomination. Yeah – I'm sure Clinton is terrified of a candidate who his base can see right through.

Oh, I didn't say that I was appalled at the last debate and how both Clinton and Obama behaved.

I don't want to hear their smear tactics. I wish they'd all just stick with the issues and hammer those home instead of all this crap they keep shoveling.

I doubt that a matchup between McCain and Hillary Clinton would be all that civilized. Once they start campaigning, you know they will focus on their differences, not their similarities.

As long as we get a Democrat in the White House . . . that's the main thing.

It will take a good Democrat to clean up yet ANOTHER mess the Republicans leave us with.

Hillary would be a good President and Edwards too.

I don't think Obama would have a shot at making it past the Republicans, but if he did gain office, he would make a better leader than any Republican.

I hope this all works out well because our country may not be able to survive another Republican administration.

Simple comment & question –

Most people hate politics because of the non-bipartisanship in our national government. Both sides are attacked from the American people about the political system's inability to get anything done due to this phenomenon.

Soooo....Why are people slamming the Republican who seems to be the only GOP Presidential contender to get past the bickering in Washington?

Confuse me!?
Side note – I am not a republican.

Who isn't sick to their stomachs with just the sight of Bill and Hillary. You can be sure that ANYTHING that comes out of Bill Clinton's mouth is contrived, calculated and, obviously, with an ulterior motive. Enough of these narsarcistic power mungers.

Hillary, our president!

Hillary supporters were last seen picking on Corky from life goes on.

WAKE UP AMERICANS!
Obama will not be trusted by the world leaders.
If you believe that he is an American version of Tony Blair who is a young fresh leader, you are completely wrong.
He is completely different from Tony Blair because Obama does not have enough experiences as the leader. He is just an ignorant boy who only claims "change" as a word. Remember a saying. "He that knows little often repeats it."

Does anyone doubt the fact that Clinton is smart enough to say this knowing it will potentially derail their biggest threat from the earning the nomination? You know they are salivating at a potential match-up with Mitt Romney... Clinton is a smart politician – he knows exactly what he is doing... and it is a smart move. Romney will get destroyed by the Dems in a national election. McCain will still lose – but it would be close...

I am so tired of people saying once Hillary has served eight years, they will be happy to have Obama as president because he will have "earned it" like it's an allowance. People like that will never vote for Obama. They will always look for an excuse.

The Clintons truly have divided the Democratic Party. While Bush will go down in the history books as a disastrous presidency, there will be a separate chapter for the Clintons outlining all the carnage they left in their wake.

Bill is the biggest disappointment of all.

Obama 08!

This should speak volumes to the Republican voters...

Now tell me again why Bill was such a bad president? Didn't he leave with the Dow at about 14000? Where is it now?

Why is it that since mccain started campaigning I see more photo ops of him and his mother rather than him and his wife? what is he hiding or is his mommy a control freak. Dont we already have 8 years o f a mommas boy, do we really need another 4?

Duh! He's trying to give Mccain the kiss of Death in Fla and help Mitt win! She will beat him, but it would be a lot tougher than beating mit the acrobatic Mormom!

Get used to it Republican haters, she is going to be our next Prez! And will do about a 1000 times better job than the little monkey you've all worshiped.

I am now expecting that Romney and Clinton will be the nominees. Forty four % of the Republicans won't vote for Romney under any circumstances, and about the same amount of Democrats won't vote for Hillary under any circumstances. It would be the smallest turnout in history, and the country would go down the drain either way.

I can't believe what I keep reading about McCain being a liberal. If you're wondering if he's a conservative, just ask the American Conservative Union that ranks all the congressmen on how conservative they are. McCain is rated an 83 where Fred "Consistent Conservative" Thompson was rated an 86. Look at his record! McCain is far more conservative than Mitt "I'll say anything to get elected" Romney. The fact he works across the aisle with Democrats shows he's intelligent and knows how to break through partisan gridlock. Just ask Justice Roberts and Alito about the impact of McCain's working across the aisle on conservative causes!

McCain is a true American hero who loves his country and is one of the most honest and intelligent politicians we've got. We keep asking for a politician who will tell us the truth even when it hurts and not think in soundbytes and when we get one we label him as a "compromiser" and a "waffler".

Take a second look at McCain and see how he's the only one running who can unite our country and actually lead.

This sounds suspiciously like Clinton propaganda. I guess it's suppose to make her appear less like trailer trash, but most people know different. Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama would suit me fine but a Hillary on any ticket would have me voting elsewhere.

I can't imagine what our founding fathers would think if they were alive today and could see how their vision has been prosituted, twisted and manipulated to serve the self serving politicians and special interests of today. It would be like Moses coming down from the mountain....lightening bolts nailing politicians everywhere.....

McCain's ability to be Liberal is the reason why he should bow out of the Republican Race. He has "back-doored" the Republican Party for as long as I can remember. A,"War Hero", yes, a Conservative and Republican, absolutely not. McCain is nothing more than a conduit for the rest of the left-wing agenda. Anything Ted Kennedy is a part of is nothing more than criminal and appaulling to the Country's progress. McCain is standing tall with the likes of Kennedy and Clinton on so many issues. In my home State of Wisconsin, McCain allied himself with the most traitorous liberal of all, Russ Feingold. Do Americans and Conservatives really want to see this movement taken to the Presidency of the United States? Come on people, quit watching the funnies and get with reality.

McCain will make Obama look like a novice on National security issue.

CNN E-N-D-O-R-S-E-S OBAMA....THERE WE GO!

I have always sensed that Hillary and John have had a mutual respect and I believe that they will keep that when they're both nominated. We'll see. I respect both of them and continue to believe that about both each other.

I think Bill is hurting her and hurting the Democratic Party... I will not vote for her even if it means voting independent or even republican... Look at this statement Bill Clinton just made, “The President is not called the 'Chief Executive Officer of America' for nothing. You don’t run the bureaucracy but you are responsible for seeing that your ideas turn into positive changes in other people’s lives.” When Hillary criticized Obama for saying "I don't think there is anybody in this race who can inspire the American people better than I can. And I don't think there is anybody in this race who can bridge differences ... better than I can. But I'm not an operating officer. Some in this debate around experience seem to think the job of the president is to go in and run some bureaucracy. Well, that's not my job. My job is to set a vision of 'here's where the bureaucracy needs to go.’” She attacked Obama at the Nevada debate about it. She said "I think you have to be able to manage and run the bureaucracy." "I think it’s important that we have a president who understands that you have to run the government,” Who understands them?
I don't...

(Hillary) Clinton and McCain probably agree on watrboarding prohibitions, amnesty, and expansion of government programs. The only debate will be the war in Iraq, which Clinton changed postions on.

Pff: Hillary is going to bring some change if she is sooo close to McCain!

Now I know Bill is a shrewd politician. He stated in an interview that McCain was the toughest candidate to beat back when it looked like he didn't stand a chance and the polls show he is the only one with a realistic chance of standing between him and his 3rd term. If he can only stroke the fears of the Right wing of the Republican Party that hasn't figured out that McCain is a true conservative because he (gasp!) works across the aisle, he can stop him and fight Romney instead. They have also started leaking stories to the media that they are afraid to fight Romney in the General Election because the know that they could slice him up for breakfast and the main thing standing in Romney's way is that the Republican Party knows a vote for him is a vote for Billary.

Slick move, Willly. I hope Republicans are smart enough to see right through you, but I've been disappointed before.

This is Bill Clinton's dirty trick again. The poll continues to show that McCain is the only GOP candidate who will beat Clinton in November. That is why dirty Bill Clinton trying to pull Mr. McCain down to the "same level" as Hilary. This won't work. I am voting for McCain because he has integrity. Bill and Hilary, you don't even come close to Mr. McCain in terms of honesty and integrity. I am an Asian American, and I am sick to my stomach about the rumors Clintons put out about Obama. If Clintons continue to run negative compaign like they did with Obama, they will not even get nominated.

One comforting news for the US and the democratic world is that both will be tough on Islamic terrorism. Guiliani would be better though on this issue.

Its the SUPER delegates (the boys in the back room) who will choose the nominee at the convention. The dems changed their rules after McGovern got beat out. They didn't want their stupid constiuants to make that mistake again. These primaries won't produce the delegates needed for any one so they go to convention and the Super delegates will have the final say.
Bummer huh?

Please help us! Mc Cain!!! Mc Cain would keep us in the war for "another hundred years".. We need out of there.Also both have been in Congress and see what shape the country economy, war, immigration is in. PLEEEEEEZE............

Put Mitt Romney or Ron Paul up against any Democrat.

"It's the ECONOMY STUPID!"

How about Hillary as Pres and McCain as Vice-Pres? What a ticket!

CNN=

Why are you not posting my posts. Oh, I get it, Freedom of speech is not allowed unless it's for Obama. You just keep making my point.
Thank you.

I've tried to post a link to the suntimes, but CNN would not post it, so if anyone is interested in viewing a picture of the Clintons with the slum lord Rezko go to the suntimes dot com website and see for yourselves who are the true friends of the slum lord.

wow. you guys are hilarious.

I like all of the, "I bet you wont post this!" post. clearly, cnn is a diabolical machine meant to suppress all of your beliefs and statements.

as a democrat, i wouldn't be too terribly torn up if mccain were to become our next president. he is obviously the most honest and moral person running. also, when a former president speaks, everyone listens, for chrissakes, its news! cnn is just reporting the news. its the same for every single other former president when they say something, it makes the news. thats how news works, if you think it shouldnt work that way, get over it.

and yes, i could see why bill would paint mccain and hillary as friends, because it does put more doubt into other republicans eyes. but guess what, hes not voting for them. if they cant see that mccain is a stand up individual, well its their own fault. its not anyone elses fault for voicing their opinion.

I am so tired of hearing about Bill Clinton.

Can't Hillary and Barack just run against each other and let the best man/woman win? Oh yea, and Edwards too.

McCain vs Clinton? As a moderate democrat, that pair up would actually give me pause, although I'm still leaning towards Hillary. If McCain, however, were to promise not to overturn Roe v. Wade if he becomes president, I just might vote for him. McCain vs Obama? No question, it's McCain for me.

Good to see McCain touching other people too.He has given in blood and guts to America and I wish him great success and will vote for him.Go McCain and show us your tough mantle and succeed.

It's called lulling your opponent into a false sense of security. Hullary will go postal on McCain just like she's doing to Obama. What I can't believe is that white feminists are falling for it after 3 years of her enabling of the Bush-Terror-Iraq demagoguery. All of a sudden, she's seen the light? I don't buy it.

Thank God these comments are not represenative of the whole country. The same people over and over spewing the same venom blog after blog. I for one am sick of the same people saying the same things over and over. No originality at all. Hopefully after Super Tuesday things will change. A majority don't even read the article they are commenting on, how sad.

Romney 2008

It's too bad that Billary cant have the "most civilized election in American History" with the members of their OWN party. I agree with everyone here, no matter who you support THE CLINTONS CANT BE TRUSTED!

OBAMA 0EIGHT

(I'd even be cool with Edwards)

ABC (Anyone But Clintons in 08)

Every single day my dislike for the Clintons grows intensely.

I agree with those persons who are pointing out that the clintons have been trying to paint Obama as the 'black' candidate to turn white voters into their corner.

However I have great faith in the goodness and fairness of the american people as demonstrated by the people of Iowa and the large number of white voters also in New Hampshire.

The Clintons are despicable yet CNN seem to give them some overwhelming coverage most of it very favourable.

Have you noticed whenever they do a clip of Hilary it's with her talking about policy,but when they do a clip of Barack it ussually never to do with policy which we have been told he speaks about in every gathering.

No wonder people think he has no substance – CNN and the media deliberately portrays this way.

Clinton-McCain-Obama = Amnesty + Universal Health Care + Higher Taxes + No border or port security + Make believe green jobs + No English as first language + No new nuclear power, No new oil refineries + More demand for oil + Global Whining + Gay marriage + Defense spending is unnecessary pork = STUPIDITY!

If any American is ignorant enough to vote for any of the candidates, please note that your sovereignty as we know today will be GONE FOREVER! Enjoy the ride...

Hah! Hillary Clinton is incapable of running a civilized race. She will turn on McCain with the same vitriol and dishonesty that she has leveled at Obama. The sad thing is, many Americans seem to be okay with this. I'm not.

OH PLEASE–TO ALL OF YOU WOMEN WHO WANT TO VOTE FOR HILLARY BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN AND/OR 'EXPERIENCED" . . .

Listen up–I want a woman in the White House, too–but not this woman. Often it IS a double standard, whether you like it or not, and this Country will surely fail if she gets her way on the socialization of every program/industry in this Country–and you think the suffering days of Jimmy Carter were bad?! You haven't seen nothing yet!! I don't want this to happen under a woman's watch–it will set us back years!

And experience? Her experience does not qualify her to be President of the United States–if anything, it shows she is not a leader. She won't unite anyone; she won't compromise. It's her way or the highway! She's not a leader–what she is, is the most divisive political figure of our time! Moreover, it's not about experience with ANY of these candidates–it's about their philosophy of the role government should play. Do you want the most ungracious, most demeaning and condescending, biggest bully of a woman–who doesn't care one ounce about you, but wants to lord it over you with her power (it's been well documented over and over and over again), in the White House, then you would be well advised to vote for Hillary.

I hate to say it . . . but if women can't be any more responsible with their vote, they should have never been given the right to vote!! AND THIS IS FROM A WOMAN!! Am I angry? Yes I am. My gosh–get some sense!

Or, if Romney figures a way to win the nomination, then Clinton/McCain? That would be a winning ticket–Democrats, Independents, and dissolusioned Republicans. Especially sweet if, while we are fantasizing, Romney picks Leiberman as his running mate. This will free CT from the traitor and retire him once-and-for-all as a two-time loser.

Even at the end of last summer, when McCain was only just beginning to crawl back from the near-death of his campaign, Bill Clinton identified McCain as the Republican candidate he felt the Democrats should most fear facing in a general election. Now that McCain is out at the front of the GOP pack (battling Romney, who has less general election appeal), Bill is coming out and saying this about McCain and Hillary so that the nervous Republican base will select Romney as the candidate. Then it will only be a matter of time before the Democrats are back in the White House...

Based on Mr. Hillary's commments, there is no doubt in my mind that he is trying to damage the McCain momentum. What Mr Hillary wants is a race between Biff Romney and Rodham. Say whatever you want, but Mr Hillary is a brilliant tactician. HE KNOWS THAT HIS CORPORATE PARTNER, RODHAM WILL ABSOLUTELY DEMOLISH BIFF ROMNEY in a general election. IN FACT, she will pull his britches down and spank his mormon hiney. Face it folks, McCain is only person left who can defeat Mr Hillary and Ms Rodham. If you want Rodham and Mr Hillary occupying 1600 Pennslyvania in November, keep buying Mr Hillary's BS. He desperately wants to eliminate McCain. He desperately wants his butch girlfriend to ran against Biff in November.

How about a pact–Clinton/McCain or McCain/Clinton? Truthfully, I'd be very happy about either.

Dem Democrats want McCain to go against because he is an easy targert.

War Crazy McCAin is a Rambo with Nuclear weapons Scary,

Democrats are scared of Mitt Romeny

HOW DISGUSTING>> THE MEDIA IS SHOVING THEM DOWN OUR THROATS!

WAR MONGERS will BURN!

Oh! I don't know about that , they may be friends in the senate but when push comes to shove as nominees, the niceties and gloves come off. I believe their debates will be good, if not outstanding. Their philosophies on the issues are like night and day. President Bush will be leaving a big mess in the White House and the American people desperately want change and McCain is same oh, same oh!

Frankie is dead on. This is nothing more than a transparent attempt by Bill Clintom to turn Republican primary voters against John McCain. Make no mistake, they are drooling at the thought of running against His Royal Mittness. Don't be fooled by Bill and Shrillary – Johnny Mac will lead us to the promised land in November!

Before Obama took everyone by surprise by winning Iowa and leaving Hillary in 3rd place – they were accusing him of being "too nice" "too naive"; now Bill is trying to make it seem as if Obama has been attacking Hillary and him and that they are the "nice ones". How dumb does he think the average American is?

Yet one more reason to vote for Mitt Romney over McCain. The old senator already's in bed with Billary. As a Republican, that scares me to death. Go Romney!

The Clinton organization does not want to run against McCain. This scripted comment serves only to re-inforce the opinion of many republican primary voters that McCain is not a "real" conservative. McCain's noted opposition to the Bush tax cuts, McCain-Feingold, amnesty with Ted Kennedy, waterboarding and generally being considered a liberal republican like Lincoln Chaffee. The Clintons know that in the general election, McCain's appeal would be broad based with republicans, independents and conservative democrats along with his perceived strong national security experience, would make him a formidable opponent. The Clintons would love to run against Huckabee or Romney. Also, the timing of this comment is interesting since it's right before the Florida primary.

I would like to know how a known felone is allowed back into the White House?

No Socialist Dem. or fibbing Rep. would be good for the USA.

This is what I expect from the Clinton News Network (CNN). Every true conservative knows that McCain is a quasi-democrat. If McCain is the GOP nominee, the liberals have a win win situation. They can't lose, only the United States will lose.

The fact that the media loves McCain and all other candidates are hit pieces for the lib media should tell you one thing: THE DEMS ARE SCARED TO DEATH OF ROMNEY AND RUDY...LANDSLIDE IN NOVEMBER... THE LIBS HAVE BEEN AFTER BUSH FOR SO LONG NOW, THEY FORGOT ABOUT 08 AND NOW ALL THE LIBS HAVE LEFT IS HILLARY AND OBAMA .....THANKS LIB MOONBATS, AN EASY VICTORY AWAITS

CNN you are keeping my posts in moderation wayyyyyy too long. Why does the truth hurt your network so bad?

Hillary would love to align her seemingly unimpressive war record with McCain, a staunch supporter of the war. These photo-ops create an illusion of her support for the war with men, and a firm and determine leader amongst the women. She has brilliantly juxtaposed with the "GOP", just long enough to get the nomination. Mind you, it could backfire, but I'm sure she has a exit strategy!!!

Lauren,
you wrote:"Civilized election? She can't even run a civilized campaign against a member of her own party. What a crock."

I cannot say that this comment is civilized.

Sometimes it is not possible – if the other side ( Obama) is not civilized enough to keep the runnigns civilize. If you would be attacked as Hillary was, what would you do?....

Could it be that the liberals want McCain to win the Republican nomination because they know he would be the easier to beat over Romney. He is also the closest thing to a Democrat on the Republican ticket. Who cares what they think anyway...

ROMNEY WILL BEAT THE HILDABEAST!!!

I really have to wonder if the crybaby was kidding when he said Oprah would be his running mate

Don't get me wrong – I LOVE Oprah

It's just that she has even less experience in politics than the crybaby does

After Obama gains more experience as Hillary's VP, and once he grows up and stops whining and crying (and playing the race card), he DEFINITELY has my vote

I NEVER want to see another Republican in the White House!

Of course they are close! Birds of a feather don't you know.

Romney! Romney! Romney!

McCain is a RINO republican and will be beat this tuesday, clinton's comments are proof that McCain is a liberal

Ohh...John McCain the media darling, until the general election then watch out! He's like a sheep being led to slaughter by Hllary, and the liberal media.

As with all Clinton comments... coldly calculated, expertly orchestrated, and superbly delivered as casual banter. Truely a political force that can only be penetrated by a man on character...

I am a Republican heavily considering Obama. It is a time for change. He makes me proud to be an American again... Like dare I say Reagan.

It seems like Bill is trying to scare the conservatives and give Romney a win in Florida. McCain would definitly beat Clinton.

Two peas in a political pod......no amesty, no McCain.

CNN-Clinton News Network. Since when is CNN unbiased? The backlash due to the Clintons may spread to CNN as well .

What a nothing story! How about your next one be a CNN loves Obama!

Not sure why everyone has it in for CNN. This is exactly how Hillary governs; the blame and responsibility always lie with the OTHER personn ot with her.

For Hillary lovers, please google for:
Hillary Clinton cartoons
on the web

Enjoy!

Don't let Bill Clinton suck anyone into that kind of thinking. If McCain falls for that nonsense then he might just as well keep on going down the road.

Hillary deserves only one type of opponent and that is no holds barred.

End Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush!!

Too much aristocracy in the United States. Too much establishment politics. Not enough transparency. Let's go Barack!!

Ron,
If you think the dems are afraid of McCain... why, pray tell, is the liberal mainstream media backing McCain?, i.e. New York Times? Why are they maligning Mitt? Because they know that Mitt will demolish any democrat they can come up with. Look at the facts and get your head out of the sand!

james January 25, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Hillary Clinton, Madame President, Commander and Chief.

Don't trust Oprabama ! ! ! !

Trust HillyBilly Clinton?

You must be kidding, Right?

Bill Clinton needs to fade away into the sunset. The country is tired of his antics. He is the most irrelevant President of all time. Let's see, his major accomplishment after eight years in ofice was "don't ask, don't tell". Give ME a break- he is the fairy tale. Oh yea, don't forget he came up with a new definition of is. What an idiot, and what fools those are who follow and believe him.

Patrick

Hillary will divide the country further; McCain will further squander our nation in War. How will we ever get anything done in congress if either of these people are elected. We need Obama.

Like the bumper sticker said......Monika Lowinski's boyfriend Bill's wife is running for pres!! LOL

Interesting article. I suspect that after Mitt is victorious that McAmnesty will ditch the party and become Hillary's VP. This will be a vain attempt by the democrats to garner votes from republicans. The whole thing is nauseating.

The Clintons are doing everything and anything to try to win. Now Hillary is arguing to reinstate the Michigan and Florida delegates when the DNC specifically pulled all the 2 states' delegates out as punishment. She initially agreed with the DNC, but now she wants them reinstated because she won MI (against no one), and now she has the majority of the support of FL. Does this woman have no discretion?

I think we should really throw some grease in to this political fire. By having Hillary Clinton "pick" John McCain as her Vice President!!!!!

Hillary Clinton and John McCain– their main similarity?
Who could possibly divide the country further.

We need someone to unite the country; not the same old Washington "experience".

I also continue to love how Republicans hate John McCain.
Piss off a republican, Vote McCain!

Hillary and Saint McCain are "very close." And this is supposed to be a good thing?

If these candidates truly yearn for bi-partisan cooperation, why not a Clinton/McCain ticket? Interesting idea, I'd say. Perhaps the time has come to really bridge the gap across the aisle, and a Clinton/McCain ticket would be a great catalyst for that. That might be the only way this country can become politically united.

Give me a break, Don't y-all realize that the Democrats want to run against anybody, Exeept John McCane.

What would Reagan do?

From the same people who accused Obama of liking republicans?
AGAIN, HAVE THESE PEOPLE ANY SHAME AT ALL?

Let them stew in their own juice!! Vote John Edwards for a Real Change.....taking back America for We, the People!

Hmm ! I didn't know they were in different parties. Didn't they both vote against the Bush tax cuts? Haven't they both said that we should just suffer a terrorist attack rather than use waterboarding? Weren't they both in favor of open borders? It would certainly be convenient if they both ran against each other and with each other as the V.P. candidates. That way we could simply decide which of them should be president and the other could be the vice president. They could then actually take turns. Either way, the capital of the United States would be moved to Davos.

Thats right,because their both very liberal, and big liberal
media thinks would be the easiest to Hillary beat. McCain
won't win the nomination no matter how much liberals
beg for him. Their's no clear distinction between them,
their both professional politicians on the gravy train. And
their both dogs. Hillary's experience lays in a failed
health plan policy, lots of experience at deception,
lies and blame shifting. Cnn believes in censorship.

Did any one of you hear how MITT ROMNEY would love to debate Hillary?
Do you think for one moment BILLY BOY is going to let her be pushed
against the wall so SHE will have to address the issues and not
lean on her crooked crutch??????
Wonder if liberal CNN will allow this comment?? INTERESTING they are trying
to push Hillary NO MATTER WHAT OR HOW!!!

I agree. CNN and all of their talking heads have already crowned Hilllary as being the nominee. They play down the importance of SC as if it were any different than NH or NV. CNN should just go ahead and anounce their endorsement of Hillary! Talk about being impartial...NOT!

TweedleDee and TweedleDumb are the same. Why would it not be civil?

The Clinton's must really not want McCain to get the GOP nomination if they are making statements like that

McCain and Clinton understand the legislative and political process. If one or the other is elected we will finally see progress on the issues.

In contrast to Romney's message, McCain presents a positive approach to governing and is the ideal Republican nominee. For all but four of the past thirty-two years, the White House has been occupied by a former Governor. The result has been gridlock and partisanship rather than progress and cooperation on the issues important to the American people.

Mitt Romney is wrong for the Republicans and wrong for America.

On the Democratic side, all three remaining candidates have the skills needed to work with others to move important legislation through the House and Senate.

Whether we have McCain, Clinton, Obama or Edwards taking the oath of office in 2009 is not as important as having someone other than an ex-governor occupying the White House. Thirty-two years is far too long to have our government held hostage by partisanship and bickering.

In 2008 we need to elect a President who has spent time in the U.S. House or Senate and understands that real change comes from working with others rather than ranting and raving about how Washington is broken. While the premise of Romney's criticism is essentially correct; little has been done to address a multitude of problems, we do not need another former Governor with no experience in the legislative process.

I can't get over some of these posts. Words misspelled, words missing, sentences that don't make sense. And so many repeating things that they think sound "convincing" to slam the Clintons, but used incorrectly, so that the posters often sound like the "idiots" they ask if we think they are. I think most of these Clinton hating posts are by teens having fun roiling up the waters, and/or by Republicans. Mostly uneducated Republicans, apparently. Also obviously by people who just repeat the hatred spewed by previous posts. EDUCATE YOURSELVES, PLEASE, PEOPLE!
Also I get a kick out of all who say they WERE for the Clintons, but now blah blah….
They never intended to vote for Hillary, so it would be nice if they quit making this foolish claim. And if you are so shallow and childish that you will vote Republican if your candidate doesn't get in……..you were never much of a Democrat in the first place. GROW UP, PEOPLE. Learn to spell and write, and when you have educated yourself, you will vote for HILLARY!!!

Say it isn't so. Hillary and John McCain are a "couple"; I just can't see it. Liberal, quitter, dictator, get even, my way or the hiway, kicking butt and taking numbers, etc is Hillary's way of leading. McCain-I thought-all this time was strong of heart and will, and clearly a conservative. Somewhere in this relationship lies the real truth. As a result of this confussion, I am for sure not voting for either of them. DMc

OBAMA SUPPORTERS, I ASK FOR ONLY ONE THING THAT YOUR CADIDATE PLATFORMS ON, STOP THE HATE AND BASE YOUR COMMENTS AND DECISIONS ON THE ISSUES AND QUALIFICATIONS OF YOUR CADIDATE OF CHOICE (AND I DON'T MEAN AMBIGUOUS QUALIFICATIONS). THANKS AND PEACE OUT.

Like each other. They are so alike in beliefs that people in the GOP should worry.

Slick Willie strikes again. Every statement he makes is dynamite. This one, "She and John McCain are very close," is no exception.

If you're in the GOP, and running against McCain: You hit him hard in Florida saying "He's as close to a Democrat as you can get as a Republican." Marginalizing him as a moderate, only adds to his further detachment from the GOP base.

If you're a Dem., you encourage the Party to realize how close a November election between Clinton and McCain would be (and how uncertain a Democratic win of the White House would end up becoming).

As to the level of "friendliness" these two dynamic politicos will be as Party Nominees, just look back at the two of them making an appearance on Meet the Press back in 2005. They were sitting side by side in Iraq discussing their collaborative work on the funding and progress of the Iraq and Afghan wars. Buddy buddy indeed. They even mused over a Clinton/McCain or vice-versa ticket in 2008.

Same old politics. Well, so much for "change"?

John McCain is a NWO / CFR / Bilderberg puppet. Ron Paul 2008

CNN–It's interesting how you screen out responses you don't agree with. I bet you won't print this one: Liberals are in the tank for McCain because he and Mrs. Clinton are one and the same. If McCain wins, they still get their liberal policies enacted. If McCain loses, they still get their liberal policies enacted. I dare you to print this. Bet you won't !!!

When McCain ran eight years ago I recall him saying, when it appeared Hill would be the Democratic nominee, "I'll beat her like a drum." He may be polite, but friendly?!

Lemme guess – she's got John's in a lockbox, too?

I think it's a ploy by Clinton to try and cost McCain Republican votes! Next thing you will know, he will say that McCain is for illegal immigration, voted agains Bush's tax cuts and wants to give terrorists Geneva Conv rights.

Kids in my high school were friends with McCain all the time. It was no big deal.

Juan McCain and her thighness, both hate conservatives, so it's understandable why they are so close.

After I have watched several reporters ask people on the street questions about the election coming up I am postive that we should not let the people elect the President , to many of them are just either to stupid or uninformed and most of them don't have a clue about anything. I 'am suprised that they can get home after work.

I like both Clinton and McCain. If the latter does not win the Republican nomination, wouldn't a Clinton/McCain ticket be wonderful and innovative? I would be so glad to see a ticket reach across petty party lines.

The thought of either the "Return of the Clinton Era" or John McCain as President makes me fear for the America that my new grandson will grow up in! Neither truly wants to secure our Southern border, campaign rhetoric aside.......Neither thinks that people who educate themselves, work hard and achieve any degree of financial security have any right to what they have earned.......(please notice that they are very secure financially themselves for various reasons)......can we tolerate another Clinton in the White House to bring our standards and morals even lower in this country? At 63 myself, I think that John McCain is too old....aside from my political differences with him. We are in a global ecomony now that needs someone who understands, from his gut, how we need to operate within it to survive, especially with the security threats we face. I support Romney as the only candidate who has the natural abilities..........and none of the taint of the corruption that reaks from Washington.......Please consider him!

CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and all the drive-by print media are only ones who believe anything 'Bubba C' says. He's the ultimate con-man.

Gimme a Break!!!

Hillary or McCain is what we need. No Hope, No CEO's

After this primary I am sure the Clintons would knee cap Gandhi to be President.

Both Hillary and McCain would be disasters! My choice? A Romney/Thompson ticket!

Is this supposed to make us feel better about Hillary?

Well, of course. McCain is more dimocrat than republican. Why vote for McCain the pseudo socialist when you can have the true socialist in Hillary?

Doesn't surprise me. Clintons are very chummy with republicans.

With friends like that.........

CNN–It's interesting how you screen out responses you don't agree with. I bet you won't print this one: Liberals are in the tank for McCain because he and Mrs. Clinton are one and the same. If McCain wins, they still get their liberal policies enacted. If McCain loses, they still get their liberal policies enacted. I dare you to print this. Bet you won't !!!

I think Bill must be inhaling.

John McCain would beat the socks off of her. His morals are considerably higher.

Thank you Bill for saying that, I'm sure that comment will help Mitt Romney, and I want him to win...thanks again

I don't believe McCain will win against Hillary or Obama. They will tear him to shreds and I will be happy. He lied at the debate when he said he got the majority of republican votes in Iowa and New Hampshire. He got the independents. His party doesn't like him. He is so grumpy and uninspiring and he talks about the same old stuff, that war and security. That's all he knows. Romney has it all over him , when it comes to looks, intelligence and character. He is a genius when it comes to the economy. I won't vote for McCain, so I will have to go democratic. McCain is a nightmare.

Of course they like and respect each other...they're both liberals.
