I think that cnn and msmbc are trying to elect the canidate of their choice.instead of letting the people of the USA do it. On all debates that I've seen, you let your canidates run off at the mouth for several mins. Then when one of the others do get a chance to talk, you stop them. Why don't you look at the records of your choice. Like these!
Clinton- Missed voting in the 110 congress 104 times of 443 23.5%
Obama– missed voting in the 110 congress 167 times of 443 37.7%
KMccain- missed voting in the 110 congress 248 times of 443 56%
You check it out.
Can we afford a president that dont show up 23.5 % of the time?

Lets face it, The Clintons have hijacked the Democratic party. I have a hard time believing the average working Democrat actually supports the positions Hillary proposes.........Here is what you would need to support to vote for this women...Raise my taxes, I'm not paying enough........Leave Iraq a mess and just keep blaming Bush........Confiscate Exxon's profits since they are evil corporate pigs in the disguise of re-distribution of wealth, this one is great since nobody apparently in America needs a private sector job, meaning why should we stop with Exxon.........why not Walmart, Merck, Kraft Foods, Microsoft etc.........hell nobody works for these companies anyway.........Poor people provide all the jobs in America.......Rich people never created jobs anyway......LOL......Raise my taxes to pay for health care for the non-working deadbeats, hell we all know they would work to pay for their own if Hillary provides the jobs she lied about creating while a Senator in NY........did I mention Bush is to blame for anything that may go wrong if she were to be elected.........quite honestly this women is so delusional if you listen to he long enough you would think she was running against Bush.......she has a sick fixation with him, I think its jealousy...Over and out for now!

Maybe if Hillary had supported Kerry with more than just words, Kerry would have been President for 7 years now.

Is it possible that Edwards, Kerry, Kennedy and Gore all dislike the Clintons so much they will all support Obama?

Don't be surprised if Gore supports Obama within the next 2 months.

Some of you said that since Bill helped Kerry during his last election, he now betrays Bill by endorsing Obama.

Kerry is not returning his political favor by sacrificing the American people. I did not like Kerry before. Now I like him much better.
The future of America is much more important than the political future of the Clintons.

Denise, how could he have voted for the war when he wasn't a Senator at the time of the vote?

A vote for the Clintons would like going to your clothes hamper and putting on soiled clothes to wear for 4 more years. Doesn't work for us!

While Billy thinks all has blown over (pun uniintended) concerning his impeachment, "though they repaired the crack in the dam, everybody will still look to see where it used to be." That's one leopard who has definitely not changed his spots!

I don't think Bill wants Hill to win. I think he is sabotaging her campaign. I don't think his ego could take 4 years of being made fun of on all the late night shows as being the white house husband.

On the other hand, Bill probably loves the idea of having 4 more years of interns to choose from.

With regard to the comment by "leo", I don't quite get how one can make the sort of comment as was made in the first sentence. I vote Democratic and I don't consider myself belonging to a racist party, nor do any of my other Democratic Party friends. I would think that to be accurate in your discussions, you'd phrase your comments to acknowledge that you're incorrect about the party as a whole. By the way, should I start calling it the "Republic" Party? I see people like you calling the Democratic Party the "Democrat" Party, so I'm wondering if everyone is now starting to drop the last few words from the ends of the major party names. Just wondering.

Parsing liberal-speak:

I am confused..can someone explain to me exactly what the Clintons have done for the African American community? What is it that you owe these two? Bill fell asleep at an MLK function and they live in all white neighborhood. It's not tracking for me. Bush for all of his failures has appointed more African-Americans to senior level positions than Clinton. Case in point Condeleza Rice, Secretary of State. So what is it with the Clintons..they are panderers.

Mike, I think abuse the truth is Kerry speak..for lying like a rug.

SO, if the Clintons question Obama's record, they are bad, evil, lying, etc.? Kerry, Daschle, and the other "establishment" democrats, should butt out – they are only making it worst by choosing up sides.

AND TO ALL DEMOCRATS WHO SAY, IF OBAMA WINS OR IF HILLARY WINS THE NOMINATION, I AM VOTING FOR A REBUPLICAN – WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF AN OPENING COMES UP ON THE SUPREME COURT OR WHAT ABOUT IRAQ, IF A REBULICAN IS THE PRESIDENT IN 2009? THINK ABOUT THAT AND QUIT YOUR CHILDISH TANTRUMS.

Hillary Clinton has no place in the White House. The fact that people are still attached to her and support her makes me a little sick. She, with Bill right alongside, has done nothing in this election but manipulate the truth and try to belittle anyone in her way, generally Future President Obama. Bill, I used to think you were the hope for America, and I stood by you while you were in the White House, but I've now lost all respect for you since you are just your wife's trained pitbull now.

I blame the media for twisting everything the Clintons have said. I also blame those "established" democrats for fanning the flames of divisiveness. Nothing Hillary or Pres. Clinton said about Sen. Obama was racial. The media and Congressman Clybryn, etc. were the ones who mischaracterize the "fairytale" and "MLK/LBJ" comments. The media knows that Pres. Clinton "was" well liked in the black community and that is the sole purpose of them twisting everything the Clintons say and on the other hand, they turn Sen. Obama into the "black" candidate. BTW: I like both Hillary and Obama and will vote for the one who becomes the nominee. I care about the future, esp. the Supreme Court, the economy and the Iraq war and for those reasons, I WILL NEVER GIVE A REPUBLICAN MY VOTE.

Ivan for Ohio: January 26, 2008 1:33 am ET

It's really amazing to see how gaulible most black America is, even in this century. There is a very good chance to see a black man as President of this great country, but some blacks feel they owe allegiance to Bill Clinton. The Clintons, in their quest for power are looking to build a dynasty. After Hillary the next Clinton the blacks will owe allegiance to would be their daughter. Black America, wake up and lift up your own son. He can't do any worse. Look who's President today.

Ivan,
You may have 8 years of your life to give away to uncertainty, hardships, family and/or friends away fighting an unjust war, horrible financial conditions, no decent healthcare and the list goes on. For me and my family, we're not and are looking to elect a president who will make living bearable. So, we're not going to lift up our own son even if we know it will hurt not only us but the majority of the people tomorrow. Yes, we made a mistake with George Bush, so now should we take a chance that our "own" will not do worse than he did?
I think this is flawed reasoning.

The problem is that the Democrat party is still the racist party of George Wallace and Lester Maddox. They have a obviously qualified black candidate in Barack Obama. Bill Clinton, a admitted admirer of the segregationist former Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright, is carrying on the "family tradition."

Kerry turned on his VP partner, Edwards, for his 2004 prez bid ~
Kerry turned on his country after his Viet Nam bid to "do his civic duty"~

What's next, Kerry? The lifetime pension from the Senate?

The Clintons can play their race card very well. However, they should remember that the November general election is fast approaching and the rest of us will either turn Independents or Republicans.

One day, and I hope it sooner than much later, the true facts of what Bill Clinton did during his administration. And the role his wife played. Will come out. Most likely after most of the principals are dead and buried. Then, like JFK before him, after the P.R. machine is quieted. The American people, if they can still read or care, will be more than a little shocked at what is revealed. Just one case in point. Who ever does a time motion study of Bill's presidency is going to discover just how much time and effort he really devoted to doing the people's work. It ain't going to be pretty folks. And if the wife gets into office. It will be business as usual. As for the comment about the Right wing smear campaign by some of the true believers. Funny isn't how the "smear" turned out to be true all along. And it was on Dick Morris's advice that they managed to not be thrown out of the White House. Thank God I am old and won't have to see too much more of this 'garbage' in my lifetime.

I just love how all you Clinton supporters have spent the last 8 years hating Bush stating "coverup" in everything he's done, yet you're willing to turn your backs to all the coverups the Clintons have been involved in and stand ready to ask for more corruption. Your hate has blinded you all! To believe that the Clintons are so innocent is absurb. In stead of some refreshing change, you want to put the same old crap back in power. It's no wonder our government is failing us. Quit blaming our elected officials..... You're the people that keep electing the same ole song and dance.

to Martin Edwin Andersen-who cares what the San Jose Mercury News editorial has to say? how many readership they have? if not because of your honorable mention, they would have disappeared unnoticed . Why don't you quote the New York Times which at least is an internationally known and respected newspaper?
I garantee you Obama will be smashed into pieces by the ferocious Republicans if he gets the Democratic nomination. Want another Swiftboating of Obama?
Only seasoned fighters like Hillary has the winning strategy against the barbaric Republicans because she's been through the hellfire and returned unscathed.
