I've voted in every Presidential election since 1968, but I might sit this one out. I feel like I'm being asked to vote for American Idol. It really is getting silly. Now, if all of us who aren't going to vote decide to package our votes, what price could we ask? Heh heh.

It will be obama and edwards '08

THE TRUTH TO THE CLINTONS ARE LIKE OIL AND WATER - THEY DONT MIX.

HAVEN'T WE HAD ENOUGH OF SCANDALS AND BETRAYAL OF TRUSTS WITH THE BUSH/CLINTON DYNASTIES?

AMERICA NEEDS A NEW COURSE TO FOLLOW…WHERE THE PEOPLE COME FIRST– NOT BIG BUSINESS AND LOBBYIST GROUPS.

OBAMA '08 : AMERICA'S NEW BEGINNING

We had a good time under Bill Clinton . But the democrats did loose both houses….
Now both are with the democrats and

************ HILLARY CLINTON CAN DO WONDERS*********

GO HILLARY.

I loved and supported the Clintons since 1990. I defended him to everybody I knew throughout his impeachment proceedings. I defended Hillary and spoke up for her dignity as a wife and mother who treasured family values while sticking with her marriage. I now see how naive I was. The Clintons are dishonest and ugly people and willing to lie about a perfectly wonderful candidate, Obama, just to get into office. They have disappointed so many people. I swear I'll vote for a Republican before I vote for Hillary.

I think hillary is THE BEST person. Obama made a racial statement in the last debate.Doesnt anyone remember? he said he couldnt say if Bill was black because he never saw Bill dance . If thats not profiling I dont know what it is. Obama says he wants to correct the ratio of blacks and whites going to prison. The best way to do that is STOP the profiling. How do you expect things to change when even Obama profiles!! To top it off he defended the slum lords . How can he do this type of thing and still play the race card? Not to mention he never learned the bacics of the National Anthem, then had enough nerve to blame that on his grandfather. What does that tell you? It tells me he hasnt learned enough to take this office . Yes we need change but we also need someone with more experience . Hillary knows the change we need and has the experience .She doesnt need on the job training .

Clinton's comment that "Obama is just like Jackson" is the political equivalent of Imus's 'nappy headed hoes." Clinton and his wife should be treated equivalently.

I've noticed that the Clinton economy is one of the reasons people seem to consider when voting for Clinton. But what you have to remember is that you can't necessarily connect a President with the economy, whether good or bad. There are a whole bunch of factors that go into it. For example, right now, the housing slump that is causing the recession isn't all Bush's fault. Much of it actually has to do with the interest-only loans that became popular a few years ago. Likewise, the economy in the 90s had already begun to pick up when Clinton took office, so it wasn't completely all his doing. Besides, if you were to connect Bill Clinton with the 90s boom, you would also have to connect him with the dot-com burst in 2000 and all of its effects.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Bill looked directly into the camera when he announced that boldfaced lie. Why should now be any different?

WILL PETER PAUL BE HOLDING THIS FUNDRAISER FOR THE CLINTONS? (PUN INTENDED)

YOU KNOW THE GUY WHO HELD A FUNDRAISER FOR THE CLINTONS, AND THE CLINTONS LIED

AND DIDN’T

REPORT ALL THE MONEY THEY MADE FROM IT?

THEY HAD TO RETURN $35,000 THAT THEY HADNT REPORTED.

THEY ALSO HAD TO RETURN ITEMS THEY TOOK FROM THE WHITEHOUSE WHEN THEY LEFT IN

THE 90′S. THIEVERY TO THE END IT SEEMS.

SEE THE SIGNS OF THE CLINTON DISHONESTY FOLKS??

OBAMA ‘08: HONESTY, INTEGRITY,CHANGE, & HOPE FOR ALL AMERICANS -WHITE, BLACK,

ASIAN AND LATINOS.

3 WORDS

YES WE CAN !!

OBAMA /EDWARDS '08

******************************************************************************
WE KNOW THAT YOU LOVE AND RESPECT THE AFIRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE AND IT WAS REALLY SAD TO SEE THAT EVERY THING WAS INTERPRETET AGAINST YOU.

WE ARE WITH YOU CLINTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so fired up for Hillary…..but i am just so sick of her and bad boy bill……my support goes to obama….i just want a democrat

Congratulations, Senator Obama, on your win! Yes, we can change America! You rose in spite of all of the nasty tricks pulled on you in South Carolina. You are an American that we can be proud of and who can change the course of history for the good.

Run, Obama, Run!

Mr. Bill Cinlton keep up the good work supporting your wife ,our next president. Some Americans haven't learn jet ,you pick the person most cualifid for president .look what happen when they elected Bush over Algore that's why we are in this mess.

Erica/dismayed in MI:

You are completely right. Although the comments made by both Clintons in the last two weeks had left me with a sour taste in my mouth, Hillary's antics at the Congressional Black Caucus debate infuriated me. I was appalled at her shrieking, condescending and characteristically disrespectful comments towards Senator Obama. I had much admiration for Bill Clinton, although I have lost that during this campaign. He is thirsty for power again, perhaps the only person in the country more thirsty for it than Hillary. Hillary rides on Bill's shoulders–without him, she is a side note at best.

Obama has been compared to JFK because of his ability to inspire people across the spectrum, beyond the perceived divisions, something that has definitely not been seen since the Kennedy administration.. Although I will not speak for all back Carolinians, I can say for myself that HIllary completely turned me off in the last Democratic debate. Whereas before I had said that I would vote for HIllary if she won the nomination, although I would rather see Obama get it, she has lost my vote if that becomes reality. I would never vote for any of the Repulbican talking heads, but I will not support the wicked witch from the west.

Obama '08

Intersting as if anyone is above dirty politics…

Mr clean would be dirty in no time… are we that stupid to believe anyone can be in washington without being political…

Wow how ignorent people amaze me.

Bill Clinton tactics in this political process demonstrates he nor his wife are not concerned about the people, only self gain. Clintons interjected race to take away white votes from Mr. Obama. Does this appear to be someone who is of presidential quality. Clintons have continuously distorted the truth and lied against a fellow democrate who happens to be African American. I guess we are expected to believe the Clintons actually care for African Americans or any of us.

We need to wake up, verify facts, pay attention, and look at the whole picture. Only then will we know who has the capacity and dedication to run our country for all the people. Shame on and my God have mercy on the Clintons.

It is time for the Clintons to ride off into the sunset.

Ted Kennedy to endorse Opama. Now that is one Kennedy I'm glad Hillary did not get an endorsement from. Can you just hear the Opama supporters jump on that like stink on s–t. Ted and Bill two peas in a pod. Mary Jo, the lake, the car , the time laspes, the cover-up, yes they would have a field day. Now what? How will they continue to claim the future man will fix old Washington. Talk about old guard

THANK YOU LARRY….IF GOD FORBID HILLARY WINS THE NOM I WOULD VOTE FOR MCCAIN INSTEAD OF HER

Bill is trying to redeem himself in Hillary's eyes and also ours after the humiliation he put her through in the '90. The world watched it on TV.
Such a loving and supporting husband! The perfect couple!
Leave Obama out of it.
OBAMA 08!!!!

dismayed in MI: What we saw in the SC primary IS Hillary! How Clintonites continue to ignore the obvious character flaws of the Clintons is astounding. "Dirty politics" is the Clinton's middle name….they, like no one else, have fined tuned "dirty politics" to an art form.

Whether Bill is helping HILLARY"S campaign, this is politics people. Everyone even Obama will do everything to win it!

I admire Bill Clinton for supporting HILLARY, I believe in her and she gets our family's support. She is leading the national polls and that is a reflection of how the American wants it. HILLARY will win the White House and you guys should be ready for it, especially the Republicans!

I think the polls had better be ready to count, because I would not be surprised if Bill pays to have Hillary win. They need to be hooked up to a lie detector.
Wrongful votes is the only way Hillary has of being our next president.
Only in experienced voters would submit their votes for her at the polls.
There is no way she will keep our country safe which should be our first concern.
Then our Health issues, and then we need to remove the immigrants from our country.
I think Obama, could and would do this. GO OBAMA.

Yes Bill, you did MESS UP big time in Hillary's SC campaign- SHUT UP BILL - it's Hillary's turn now. Leave her alone - she's good.

There is a difference in the way Michelle campaigns for Barack and the way Bill does for Hillary. Bill distorts the truth and then says "I'm not making this up." The fact that he slept at a MLK service, knowing the camera was on him speaks volumes.

I think Romney said it best–"Does anyone want Hillary for president with Bill in the White House with nothing to do?"

Forgive me for thinking that a Republican said something good–I am an independent. Obama would understand. Obama has my vote and my donation.

Hillary and Bill are only in this for them selves. They don’t care about us, the Democrat Party or respect the office of the Presidency. They will do anything to regain the office even circumventing the laws of our land which limits a Presidency to two terms. Think about it, they will be back in the White House for four to eight more years.. Do we really want that? Also, Bill disrespected the office while president and is doing so now by his personal attacks on Obama. His comments on Obama has been child like and unbecoming a former President. Hillary nor the Democratic Party has any control over him. So, what makes everyone think he will respect the office once back in the White House again. Basically, he will try to regain the White House from Hillary unless she can control him which she has been unable or unwilling to do thus far.

Obama needs to stay out of the mud fight with them and return to the issues and his vision of the future for our great nation.

Yes, I was wondering if Bill was running against Obama. It sure sounds like it.

Bill Hillary can not run this country. She would curl up and start crying the first time there is a terrorist attack. She does not know what to do. Thae American people would have to bail her out instead of her bailing our country out.

My vote goes to Obama.

Obama I am pulling for you. Keep going. We do not need the Clinton's in again. We have all reasdy had Hillary when Bill was in office. We need a change. We need you.

It's very simple.

Scenario #1:

The Democrats make Hillary their nominee and they lose again. The huge numbers of Afro-Americans and young people supporting Obama will not turn up during the general election to vote for Hillary. However, Hillary would energize the Republican base to come out against her. That's a given.

Scenario #2:

The Democrats make Obama their nominee and they win. The huge numbers of Afro-Americans and young people will continue to support Obama and lead him to a sweeping win. The Republican base will essentially be neutered and even some will go for Obama.

The choice is ours.

Democrats are such wimps.
They vote for whoever they think is being picked on!
HRC in New Hampshire, Obama in S.C.
Get some backbone Democrats!

The Clintons need a black advisor to tell them how to reach the black community. Negative attacks on the first black viable candidate in this nation will backfire and they'll lose more and votes, the longer they criticize Obama. They need to be positive.

Hillary needs to show a vision and what distinguishes her from Obama. She needs to talk about what she's done personally - Children's Defense Fund, etc. Everyone knows what Obama has done - community work, etc.

Other than experience, she should show what she's actually done in the past to show she's a unifier and a community worker.

Not sure what effect Bill Clinton had on the voters as it appears from the exit polls that about 80 percent of the black voters voted for Obama. I have no problem with Bill Clinton stumping for his wife and whether his statements are less truthful than others, I would leave that up to the voters. However, I will continue to believe, ever, that CNN reporting if not biased, is certainly not balanced. When Bill Clinton replied to a female CNN reporter, the headline was Bill Clinton "lashes" out. Is that a loaded word or what? It sounded just like a normal response to me. Where was all the outcry about the personal attack Michele Obama made on Hillary Clinton when she said, " if you can't manage your own house, how can you manage the White House". She said that she was not referring to Hillary Clinton. Well, who's telling the fairy tale now. Both sides have their fair share of story telling and half truths and I believe the press should follow up with all candidates on a more even basis.

(This comment has been awaiting moderation since 8:20 pm, January 26, what's up?
Is CNN doing selective screening?)

I expected better of Hillary. She is an acheiver and does not need to undignify herself with Bush/Rove tactics…Hillary you found your voice in NH.. Don't let it be drowned….Tell Bill to back off and Let YOU WIN ON YOUR OWN MERITS.

Bill Clinton is no longer the first black president.
He has never represented blacks.
He represents the Clintons and the rich Dems of big corporations.
S.C. spoke with their votes loud and clear.
Thanks!

Congratulations, Senator Obama on your win! Yes, we can change America! You rose in spite of all of the nasty tricks pulled on you in South Carolina. You are an American that we can be proud of and who can change the course of history for the good.

Run, Obama,. Run!

Wonderful.. people voting based on some 3rd person and not based on the 2 candidates issues.

I heard that Bush and Cheney are endorsing Obama.

Go for it Obama ,us Brits are fed up with power families like the Bush and Clintons who do not have the interests of the American people at heart . Vote for change and hope for a better life in housing,medical care, education, social services and cost of living. I just love that " Yes we can ! "

The Last Word On Race.

The Black Democrat Presidental primary voters of South Carolina have answered the Pivotal question of the 08′ Democrat Debate season. " Do you think Bill Clinton was the first "Black President of The United States?" By a 80% majority they have concluded that the 42nd President was in fact ….."Not A Brother"

"SORRY BILL"

Do you know how to tell if Billary is lying? His lips are moving!!!!!

CNN is terrible in reporting real news. They and the rest of the world have been attacking Hillary for 35 years. She sells news. Without her as a candidate Obama could not sell news, Hillary is their cash cow and they do everything to exploit her. Anything negative about Obama is barely reported and then it's back to pilling on the Clintons. Bill Clinton is supporting his wife, there is nothing wrong with that, there has never been an ex-President whose wife ran for office to compare it to. Obama's wife speaks at rallys also and she is not always politically correct. CNN quit showing such a one sided opinion, report all the news. Obama has played the race card for most of his campaign yet CNN turns it on the Clintons, only to be expected from the one sided "biased" channel.

maybe we should metabolize the idea that Hillary is never going to govern like Bill. They are just 2 different persons. She won't even listen to him once! Therefore, anything he says to help his wife is just …. promises, promises….
If you liked Bill this doesn't automatically mean that you are going to like Hillary.
It's going to be a different ball game this time!

First of all, Vivien CA, Obama never whined about Bill Clinton campaigning. He said that was fine. He took exception to the Former President distorting his record. So there is no double standard. Second of all, the idea that Michelle Obama’s words have the same impact and magnitude of a former president is laughable at best. It is not a level playing field.

But the message is getting through. The Clinton’s now represent the divisive politics that Obama talks about. Anybody that is paying attention has seen that. It is just a question of whether they believe what they’ve seen, or if they will continue to be blinded by the Clinton political lying machine.

Obama 08

File this away, by the time the final ballots are printed, and you do not have faith in any of the candidates, you should still vote–please! Go to the polling place, request a write-in ballot, and then write 'No Confidence'–that should be the single protest vote (not Mickey Mouse anymore!). The subsequent press about the high voter turnout, and then the stats about how many voted 'no confidence' will send a serious message (to the world, to the status quo members of government, to the corporations, and to us).

We WIll Not Have Our Hands Tied Anymore.

Meantime, I hope it does not get to that in this election.
To decide: from Latin decidere, literally to cut off.
OR
To choose: to select freely and after consideration.

I choose Obama.

Spin Spin and some more spin.
Where's the beef?
You can't handle the truth.

Reading some of you Clintonista's blaming the "media" for reporting the actual numbers as some kind of bias or that Obama brought up the race issue before the Clintons did (AND THEIR BAND OF SURROGATES) further proves the FACTUAL numbers that more educated people in droves are voting for Obama and the "less" educated and frankly easily duped ones are voting for Hillarity.

If the media and CNN in general are so "biased" againts the Clintons where were the stories nationwide on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and PBS showing Clinton sleeping during the sermon at a black church or his words AFTER Obama hammered he and his wife in SC stating the obvious and continual call to white people "Well Jesse Jackson won in SC also".

Code words and coded messages that anyone with a brain can figure out, but Clintonista's don't have that "capacity".

Penn, Cuomo, Shaheen, Johnson, Bob Kerrey and Bill Clinton etc, etc invoked hatred into this ONLY because he got WHITES in Iowa to start voting for him and "she" can only win by dividing and conquering.

As a Conservative I should be happy, but I am an American first and I respect Obama greatly and find the Clinton 1990's tactics deplorable.

ABC.

Hillary Clinton deserved the beating she received in South Carolina. Her and her husband’s behavior in recent weeks has been a disgrace, and as a former Clinton voter I have lost any respect I ever had for the former first couple. I have no doubt, however, that we can fully expect to see more dirty politics from the Clintons as we head into Super Tuesday.

please stop doing any articles on this old guy. He needs to go do some volunteer work somewhere and let the country run and the candidates who are the candidates do their campaign. He has done more damage than anyone could do to the Democrats.

Impeach him! Oh wait….

Go Bill!!!! Go Hillary!!! All the Way!!!!

WAY TO GO BILL AND HILLARY…..YOU GOT LOTS OF SUPPORT HERE IN TEXAS….PUT ALL THE PRESSURE ON OBAMA…..

Bill is right. BO is a fairy tale. Most of his so called experience was as a state senator, which is not even a full time job in most states. He is an empty suit. Hillary ran this country for 8 years. She has the right experience.

and why is oprah and her backing getting off scott free too??

I agree the media has a lovefest with obama and don't think other voters aren't noticing this one sided coverage.

Hellow my fellow Americans, how better off where you when BILL was President.
The Economy now stinks; you best learn from these last mistakes made by replublicans…we will not have a second chance….most likely.

My vote is for Hillary Clinton; as far as the mud slinging watch the first debate and you will see who started all this, Obama and John

Don't worry Hillary, there are a lot of more evolved voters out there who are eager to put you in White House!
I like the idea of Bill supporting you all the way.
To all the biased pundits: I don't care what you say but Hillary is President!

Wait !!! Don't figure Bill and Hillary out until she gets the nomination! We want you dems to run Hitlery Clinton. She has that whole "It takes a village" social insurance package program just waiting on you all! There is rainbow stew and free bubble up just waiting on all you Clinton supporters and all you have to do is drink the Koolaid! I forget what it was but don't forget that Obama did something wrong in kindergarten! Don't go yet!! Come back!!!!!!!

ROFL!!!!!

What Hillary C. needs to realize is that if she is the Democratic nominee she is going to want the support of voters who would otherwise choose Obama. I can only speak for myself and say she has totally lost that support with her and Bill's finger pointing and nasty accusations. I'll either vote for Mccain or write in a candidate.

Bill shouldn't even be involved its not a tag team match

Bill Clinton is a very very angry man, you could see it in his face, his finger pointing and his tone of voice.

Hillary's run for presidency isn't about the people of this country.
Hillary's run for presidency is about revenge to the Republicans and the Independents and the Democrats that didn't want anything to do with him in his last couple of years in office.
All due to his poor choices to lie, cheat, play with a 21 yr old government paid intern, that all caught up to him.

People, we DO NOT HAVE TO PUT THEM BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
Obama can freshen our country and bring us back together.
He is not running for revenge ad Bill and Hillary are.
He is running FOR OUR COUNTRY!

Spread the word to those who aren't on these blogs. Help bring us back together! The Clintons would keep this anger and hatefulness alive just for payback. How pathetic and selfish!

Congrats Obama on a fantastic win in SC!

Vivien, Vivien, Vivien…come on now.

Everyone knows Obama has been campaigning against Billary who are running as co-presidents.

Michelle responding to the lies from the Billary camp about her husband is NOT playing the race card. It's trying to keep Billary from derailing her husband's campaign.

Besides, let's be honest here. Comments from Bill as a former president carry a much bitter sting than anything Michelle could say in her husband's defense.

Hillary Clinton is the candidate who should and WILL be the Democratic nominee and ultimately be elected president next November. Obama won South Carolina because half of the voters are black, That;s the FACT plain and simple.

If Hillary couldn't fix Bill, how will she ever fix the country???????????

Well Hillary is now officially Billary!

Who does Bill Clinton think he is? You don't question Obamas record, words, programs, and motivation. If you're against Obama then you are a racist!

Gotta be voter fraud. Has to be.

______________________________

Hahahahaha…..Not even close!

Slick Willy needs to shut his big mouth as his negative attacks on Obama have backfired big time. Who's crying now? O yeah, Hillary's already done that in NH.

YES WE CAN-
OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Bill,
I think I might be getting one of those " service jobs " you talked about after you signed NAFTA into effect. I could become the next greeter at Wallmart, Would it be possiible for Hillary to put in a good word for me?

The uninformed portion of our country is traditionally the downfall in the insanity in politics. I am continually amazed at the amount of voters (especially the younger voters) who are looking at Hillary for a change in this country. Bill Clinton initiated the greatest amount of "change" when he signed in NAFTA - he RUINED our economy! There is no doubt in my mind that he signed in NAFTA only as payback to the wealthy that got him into office and would become even richer by that signature.

I am originally from Michigan - moving after losing our jobs because of NAFTA. Most of our friends and families have either lost their jobs or living on the edge - directly due to NAFTA! Now Hilliary wants to open more trade agreements with two third world countries - both of which have deplorable sweatshops employing mainly children. Both countries will no doubt sell to Walmart of which SHE sat on the board!!! Again - the RICH GETTING RICHER!

PLEASE, PLEASE AMERICANS - do whatever it takes to inform yourselves of the facts before jumping in to vote on candidates that have PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE SELF-SERVING.

My suggestion to President Bill Clinton is not to go around and create controversy.Leave Senator Clinton alone and she will succeed if she can prove herself to be superior to Senator Obama.
President Clinton should be a backstage director and not a main actor.

Bill Clinton lost SC for Hillary, and his presence will continue to negatively affect any hope she has of becoming the Democratic nominee. It has become all too evident that Bill intends to share the Presidency if he gets the chance. Not a good thing for the country.
Obama's hope and energy are like a breath of fresh air — something we all need after the disastrous bush years.

The people of S.C. roundly rebuked the dirty politics Hillary so fondly referred to as "the fun part." Expect yet another shift in tactics from the Clintons… react to polls and smear your opponents. Not exactly what I want out of a President.

The clintons wanted to make this about race in SC so that when he wins people can say it is because he was black –shame shame. Bill clinton also said "Jessie Jackson won that state also" …humm

The Clintons make me barf. Now, Bill is still playing the race card…. suggesting this morning that Sen. Obama's success is just like Jesse Jackson's. How pathetic! I hope Americans see the Clintons for who they really are— phonies. Bill's time has past and he is slowly destroying his legacy– what's left of it.

The last eight years have been awful. It pains me everyday to see Bush moving our country backwards. Sen. Obama will bring integrity, honesty, hope and inspiration to the White House. I believe in America and I believe we can make positive changes with Sen. Obama leading the way.

Obama 08!

for all of bill bluster and hand holding of hillary it still didnt get CAROLINE KENNEDYS ENDORSEMENT she ENDORSES OBAMA which means more to the american people than any newspaper or politician.

I hope the American people are starting to see how corrupt and disgusting the Clinton's are. I hope they can see that they will do anything, and I mean anything, to be in power. The citizens do not matter it is the power that they want and that is the bottom line. We do not need them back in the White House. Stop the insanity. No more Bush, no more Clinton and while we are at it no more Kennedy.

It is okay for Michelle and Barack Obama to play the race card. It is okay for them to say what they like. Hillary be careful what you say you are running against a black and you know they like special treatment. As for the press everybody with half a brain can see how unfair Hillary has been treated. Obama supporters dont get too carried away about SC its not over

Finally people are allowing themselves to wake up and see the Clintons for the lying liars they really are. Hillary as president would be a disgrace to our great country.

GO OBAMA!!!

GO HOME SHRILLARY!!!

Hillary and Bill are a disgrace to this country. The whole nation is sick of them and their lies. Good show of Hillary dumping her supporting cast in S.C. to run off to Tenn .and not adress her helpers. She's in for a surprise too in Tenn. Why don't she take on Obama by herself and and be really killed. Enough is enough

CNN's columist coverage of the candiates needs to bereviewed. It apparently seems that CNN reporters opinions matter first. This isn't reporting the news. It's opinions that are miscontrued by commentators.

We need reporting on the news without the bias.

It''s unfair to the American people.

GO HILLARY!!!!
Hillary will win on Feb. 5th. She is the only candidate on the Arm Services committee and will certainly be the only one qualified to run against John McCain.
If Barack is nominated the Democrates will lose the White House again.
Weak-Up America. South Carolina is color-blind.
Barack is an evangilistic preacher/speaker but he is not qualified to lead this
country. He gives no specifics. At this point he is an Empty Suit.

Vote of Hillary now!!!!

Michelle Obama can make a statement like { blacks better open there eyes } what would the media do if Bill or Hillary or John Edwards made such a statement like that?How can anyone run aginst someone like this if you can't even speak his name without it being about race .I'm not suprised this is happening ,but i am dispointed are the double standerds
CNN i guess since this a obama love feast this will get lost. obama needs to also thank the media

I agree .. the race card suddenly came to play right before SC primary (where 55% of voters are black) .

That remind me of how Goerge W Bush won in 2000 .. MaCain was a better cadidate than him , and Al Gore was much better president … but Bush prove before our own eyes that emotions and the media overcome logic and common sense

The funny thing here is that Clinton fans are like die hard Bush fans no matter what the results they spin them. Obama now leads Clinton by about 100,000 votes and 10 pledged delegates. It looks as if the Clinton supporters are a growing minority and not majority. What are you Clintionites looking at?? This wasn't even close and it spanned over many demographics. I think you Clinton fans might want to take a long hiadus from this post board. Because none of Hillary's victories were to the tune of +100,000 votes. And exit polls indicated 70% of blacks and 68% of whites blamed the Clintons. So I guess you guys are that 32% that always chooses to ignore the obvisous facts.

Go home, Bill!

I am glad that Obama won the primary last night. Go Obama! That showed the Clintons that there are not supposed to have two people other than John Edwards against Obama. Go home, Bill. It is time for Bill to go home in New York and play golf or do the public services with George H.W. Bush, like Hurricane Katrina.

I am praying that Barrack Obama wins the presidency of the United States because of what he represents. While I have little illusion that any one individual can stop this downhill train wreck that has become our country, I believe that he understands what more of us are facing daily then do the other professional politicians. He is the child of a single parent. He is a child of divorce. He is both black and white. He knows what it feels like to turn to drugs during a troubled youth and finding a way out with education and focus. He knows what it's like to be faced with the crushing burden of a student loan (that only a best selling book could get him out of). Obama is you and me with an eloquent voice. I believe that he is the balance of heart and mind that America desperately needs to heal. He has my vote and my prayers.

How many lies did he tell during his presidency? Can you tell the diffrence between those lies and this ones now?

YAY!!!

OBAMA
OBAMA
OBAMA
OBAMA!!!!

I'm so sick and tired of the media making this race about RACE. Obama would have won South Carolona no matter what. Your exit polls showed that blacks are voting for him. I'd like someone to watch an episode of The View. Colin Powell was on the show, talking about MLK holiday. He said just about word for word what Hillary Clinton said when she referred to King and President Johnson. Why was such a big deal made of it when she said it? Please take a look at the show.

I am glad that the people of South Carolina saw through Bill Clinton and I hope there response to him and his wife (voting for Obama) sends this message to the country: We do not need another person in the White House that will keep this country divided - we need someone that can bring this country back together so that we can conquer everything that ills this country!!!

I’m an Australian, however I’m watching your elections with interest. As an outsider, this is what I see. Barak Obama has the best of 2 of 3 worlds. He is both black….AND white. The only part of the equation he can’t proclaim is “I am woman� The race card seeming to be played, really shouldn’t work, since he is completely both races. As far as his affinity to women is portrayed, he’s got that down pat. Women, black or white, would be drawn to him anyway due to his overall charisma of seemingly wanting to bring everyone together. The real currency underpinning the American election dilemma is trust. (trust in the elected, by the people who elect them) I hope whoever is elected, never betrays what the American public are starving for. Baraks blackness or whiteness should be immaterial. I find myself as a woman, admiring Hillary to the enth degree and yet, admiring Obama for what I consider to be an amazing opponent, to one who
is well known to have ‘more experience’ in the world of politics. Best of luck to both of you, and even more luck to the American people whoever is elected. I would think though, if both Obama and Hillary actually joined forces and worked TOGETHER, more problems may be solved than each trying to cut the other down. I’m thinking people are sick of the rhetoric, they just want results that work.

Obama is allowed to do what he wants and the press eats it up. I researched all three candidates and made an informed decision. Look closely as the man who shouts for change, and see if its a change for the better. I don't think so.

Thanks Vivien in CA for some real insight that's missing on this board tonight.

I wonder if she'll tell Bill what she told Chelsea. Just sit there and look pretty.

Obama is the future of the Democratic Party and the future of America. After Bill Clinton's distateful tactics this past week it is obvious that the duo will only succeed in dividing, first, their party, and then the nation. With Bill overshadowing her campaign and her white house tenure, Hillary Clinton will never find a viable vice president, will disenfranchise independents and Republicans who would be willing to move toward the Democratic party, and lose a good many disgusted democrats as well, who have been posting on blogs throughout the nation that they will not, under any circumstances, vote for Hillary Clinton in any election. Clinton will lose handily to John McCain, who can beat her on experience, on patriotism, on the ability to be Comander in Chief, and more importantly, on the ability to draw from independents and the other party. Democrats vote for Hillary Clinton at their peril, and at the peril of our country.

This is why Obama won: Bill Clinton is the cankerworm in Hillary's campaign. He has become Trent Lott and is turning off alot of white support from Hillary to Obama. Many whites dont like Bills language of late. Bill is a big turn off. How many uneducated whites voters are there that Bill is trying to use this kind of language to appeal to. This election is not about race ,Its about issues americans care for. Obama seems to capture americans desire for UNITY in this country and Bill's message is totally the complete opposite. How many voters in america still love this kind of language from Bill? I doubt many. I will vote for anyone , anyday who UNITES us than vote for any "angel" who wants to tear us apart along racial lines. Moreso he/she aspiring to get to the white house. No to racism in the white house! Mrs Clinton, get rid of Bill, get rid of divisive politics, get rid of messages that try to appeal to the uneducated white haters.Get on the issues. As long as u stick to the race card, bait me your support among whites(majority of whom are college educated, mind you!) goes to an all low blue.

I hope Bill does stay out there on the campaign trail because , everytime he opens his mouth , its another vote for real change. The American people want the "peoples" White House back.

Yes we can !

Obama 08

U have to be a complete retard to vote for OBAMA. How can I express this perfect pathetic reason for us to speak out! First of all he has never answered a single question asked. Dodger FaN! LOL…Second he has NO experience. Then my favorite its all about RACE! Get over it, all people have suffered and continue to suffer! Hillary is the best and she were a man she would be leader of the FREE WORLD! HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT! SHe is a mother and only mothers care about people. What mother wouldn't want the best for our childrens future.

The Clintons have no one to blame but themselves for their South Carolina debacle.

Latinos we are one nation, the United States of America Obama need your votes, lets unite.

"this is not about the next election, but the next generation."…….Bill get in the car, we are off to Tenn.

Democrats' primaries turned ugly!
Obama plays a race card. He blamed Bill but he himself used Oprah who, I believe, could become first african american and a woman president. He used stupid populist Kerry and some other celebrety politicians and wasn't blamed for that, at all.
No one pays attention what he really says. Pay attention! Pure marxist - populist. Americans do not familiar with such a phenomenon. Other nations got broken on it. He promises to take troops from Iraq and send them to Pakistan 140 mln. muslim country to chase Ben Laden somewhere. He promises to get government subsidized health care etc. and no one asks where he wants to get money to pay for all his promises.
He brags he didn't vote forI raq war. It means he knew something important and didn't tell? Or he read same report as other senators and voted against his own country?

Obama and Clintons look alike for me.

Hillary has no real economy boost program and plays with promises. She wants to put lots of money on the market and break economy and loose the war. Her husband falling asleep … where he is not supposed to.

Edwards isn't bad but he is much less clown than previous two and it is the reason he doomed not to become a president.

People are stupid and pick well acting manipulators. Politicians are smart they make money anyway.

Race and gender. Gotta love the Dems.

The way all you people sound makes me feel like im living in 2000 again when Bush told people he would give them a little money in their pocket and you all sold out cheap then also now the man says change and you all melt. try putting him on your lie machine and see what happens. suckers

Race is a factor to African Americans. If Obama were white they'd vote for Hillary for what she's done for the community and not vote for Edwards. A person should not vote based upon race or gender and that is what is happening. Obama would never win the main goal-President. His inexperience would cost everyone, he'd be better off as Vice President then President.

Again - what race card did Obama play? I have never heard a speech given by Barack Obama that said vote for me because I am black. He is a true AMERICAN that is leading a movement in America for change that Hillary Clinton can't even begin to be a part of. In fact I do believe she has said vote for me because I am a woman. AND Obama wasn't whining about Bill Clinton campaigning for his wife - Bill Clinton distorts the facts and tells lies - BUT again to explain this to someone who supports a Clinton. NO MORE LIES would be part of the change Barack Obama is leading!!

with 80% of the African-American vote, which was over 50% of the total vote, that means he had 40% or more even if not one single Caucasian person voted for him. with the other 60% split in some way for the other two, he couldn't lose unless he ran down the street naked or something. but the national vote isn't 50% African-American, more like 12%. so he doesn't start with a 40% lead, just under a 10 percent lead (80% of 12%). he needs the rest from Caucasians, Hispanics, etc. It's a long way from 10% to a majority and getting less than a quarter of the non-African-American votes (1/4 of 88% = 22%) won't do it.

FIRED UP! READY TO GO! OBAMA!

The Clinton's showed how greedy they are for power with their good cop, bad cop strategy against Obama. I am glad it backfired. Please, Gore, enter the race and send these two lightweight candidates home.

Thank you SC, lets keep the Hill/Billy out of the White House.

It appears that the first "black president" has become the second black celebrity to lose his beautiful color — the first being Michael Jackson. Is Bill's rosy, ever-growing nose the next thing to disappear after plastic surgery? After further study, and a few remarks about Jesse Jackson and fairy tales, I think it is now safe to say that Bill Clinton is no brother.

I think that Hillary will be very happy about today's results.

So…among those who thought Bill's politicking was important, more voted for Hillary or Edwards than for Obama, Message seems clear… Bill makes people look past Oprahbama.

I have read letters - supposedly random - to several newspapers, all saying the same thing. Obama is no JFK. Now Caroline Kennedy endorses Obama, and essentially says that yes Obama is like JFK. An interesting development, which could affect some votes in Florida on Tuesday.

The Clintons have done their best to run a racially-based campaign, cornering Obama as the black candidate. It remains to be seen if it will be effective, but I hope they fail. I am really tired of this repulsive dysfunctional couple, Bill and Hillary, as well as their daughter, who is working for a hedge fund! And Hillary just criticized Edwards for working at a hedge fund. Is there nothing they will not do to win? Sickening.

I have personally asked Bill to chill out.

Thank you South Carolina!

Barak Obama will be a president to be proud of!

Had nothing to do with Bill..This was all about race and showed that black people are just as racist.

Be gentle with Bill…he is just getting Hillary back for all those things she said to him when he shook his finger and said "I did not have……with that woman"

I am a very strong Clinton supporter, but Obama won fair and square in SC. The African-Americans actually showed that the pride of voting for another African-American got in the way of the issues. When we go into Super Tuesday, it will be a far different story. The votes will more than likely be evenly split between each candidate with Clinton coming out on top in the majority of the states. If Obama wins the nomination, he will be destroyed by the republican party and we will have another republican as the president of the United States. The results of Super Tuesday are going to be very interesting. This is more exciting than the presidential election itself. Congratulations to Obama for this round. Hillary will definitely get the democratic nomination though. Just keeping it real.

I voted for Bill Clinton twice but he ought to remember he is not the one running.

Bill Clinton has had a negative affect on his wifes campaign as I here other voters.

this tells you that regardless of race or colour, we are one people with the same concerns and ideologies. the Clitons lie, and will lie to get what they want and will prefer to divide us. the old days of black versus white and vice versa are gone and we have to move forward and love one and understand each other, and the only person capable of this is OBAMA.

Enough attack on Hillary and Bill. Enough pointing fingers on each other. Enough attack on each other, democrats. If you people keep it up, Republicans are going to laugh their way back to the White House again and this country will continue to deteriorate for another four years.

I was undecided between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama until I saw some debates between the two Democratic hopefuls. This race is not about personal politics but, in the end, is about who can lead our country out of a recession and into the position every patriotic American wants to see it in. If you pay attention to the debates between Senators Clinton and Obama, it becomes strikingly clear who can lead with substance and clarity, bravado and wit. Hillary Clinton can. In response to questions, Obama stumbles, looking for grand words of change. When asked specifically about his plan to bring the nation out of its economic crisis, boost jobs, and save our health and education systems, he would divert the question into more general statements of inspiring grandeur. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, was strikingly lucid in her plans to combat these issues, clearly outlining her strategy to *solve* the problem, rather than blustering her way with empty, albeit inspiring, words.

The klinton's are running as if this is a 3rd world country….

Thank you Democrats for finally seeing the light…..that the Clintons are thoroughly dishonest and power hungry. Oh, loved the tears Hillary……some gullible people bought that too! Wise up the rest of you…they'll do and say anything to get the power back and that would be dangerous, disastrous and shameful for our country. And Bill, how dare you say "shame on you" to anyone…..you don't know the meaning of the word.

Is it possible that Bill doesn't want Hillary to win? Could he be afraid that she might be a better President than he was? Is his mouth merely reflecting his subconscious? Surely the man is aware of the negative impact he is having on his wife's campaign, and yet he continues his diatribes. And this from a Rhodes scholar? Hmmmmmm.

Bill Clinton did the right thing. He helped earlier than later reveal that the race card is a reality. And SC people didn't vote based on objective decisions. I still hope there are enough people out there to realize the mess in which is the country and understand that more than ever, United States need a pragmatic president. Also, hopefully, the white people will realize that they are not treated as 'brothers' so how will that 'unity' work? If they were, the black vote, even if majority was given to Obama, would be more balanced. If not Hillary, why wasn't the black vote shared with Edwards? I think the white voters tried to be more objective.

Hillary'08! Not all states have same demographics and not all states have same issues. Wait for the West … not Hollywood celebrities, those are other spoiled people who need extra excitement in their lives..like Caroline Kennedy.

Obama won big in South Carolina. Obama has the message of change and that is what the americans want. He will be a good choice for president. He has my vote in the upcoming primary and in November.

Let's see how the partisan scumbags who support Bill and Hillary because they have the abillity to hate the best spin this victory.

The first time I heard Barack Obama speak I was blown away. He mentioned specifics of what he would change when taking office, and those things resonated with me. Yes, I'll dare to use the H word, he inspired hope, especially tonight with his speech after the South Carolina win, his words truly uplifted my spirits!

I'll admit, the first thing I thought of after deciding he had my vote, was "would our racist country ever be able to elect a black man president?" That's a huge issue, and he addressed the issue of race right up front in his speech tonight.

Seeing that Whites, Blacks, Asians and Latinos are supporting him makes me think it might be possible. Obama is truly the agent of change we need now!!

YES WE CAN America!

BILL CLINTON should be very carefull in the future because OBAMA is very clever in twisting FACTS..

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah! Obama whined constantly about how unfair it was for Bill to campaign for his wife. At the same time, Michelle was in South Carolina for weeks, blatantly playing the race card and no one called her on it. What a double standard!

The political coverage on CNN is decidely one sided and immature. Reporter after reporter allow their personal animus about Hilary to influence their comments. Obama was as much responsible for playing the race card, yet to hear the CNN anchors across the racial divide fall over each other Hilary and Bill were the ones responsible for playing the race card.

They got it wrong in New Hamshire and were humiliated. Wolf, 360 Cooper etal were the ones painting the scenario of ethnic support for Obama in SC long before Hillary or her team made any allusions to it.

Hilary made a comment about the administrative musle of LJ and CNN deliberately misconstrued this to mean an attack on Martin Luther King and a snide against Obama.

The arrogance of the press is nothing but repugnant. We will deny you the ego-satisfaction of playing King Maker.

All the candidates should be accorded equal scrutiny and dealt with fairly. As all fith columist, you need to be reminded you are not the news, you need to report on the news and allow we the voters the opportunity to cast our vote.

I would advice all political junkies to watch PBS or ABC where they can get a more honest and objective reporting of the facts.

The other day: something very interesting. A friend and confirmed Bush supporter 4 yrs ago and an Evangelical Christian, told me the country would be very mistaken NOT to elect Mr. Obama, the candidate whose inspiring oratory is BEST able to unite all our peoples in moving forward as one nation!

Clearly a rebuke of the Clintons. Hey, Bubba, how's finding out people don't love you as much as you think?

The county is unified, we are all Americans. The Problem, only a selected few reach this point in one's life. If you listen to Bill, he isn't talking to the local press, he's talking to the United States.

Love Him or Hate Him, his message is being delivered across the Nation. He was only the President for 8 Years. Take a step back, listen and look at what and how it's being said. The real politics is being sold, while everyone is fixed on the local response.

If the others spouses had that pull, they would be doing the same.

Keeping it Real.

Media bias at its finest.

Bill Clinton has made the Democratic party look like a rather nasty, childish party. The Republicans looked civil and mature in their debate this week. I despise what Bill and Hillary have done to Obama since his win in Iowa. I knew they would come out swinging, but I thought they would at least be honest. But then again, I do remember the famous "I did not sleep with that woman" statement. Some people just don't have it in them to be honest. I never agreed with our country impeaching Bill Clinton for something in his personal life, but now I see the depth of deception he is willing to do. He has disheartened Democrats and will ruin our chance of taking the White House. Do we really want John McCain leading our country? We will be at war in the middle east forever, moving that war into Iran as well. I personally would prefer us bringing our support, military and finances back home where it is needed. A vote for Hillary will ensure a Republican in office next year.

I think it hurt but don't be fooled, Senator Obama plays politics too! He too abused the truth when he went on the attack during the debate.

I am not happy with either of them right now!

Talking in the name of the hispanics, we support Hillary because during The Clinton government , the economy was prosperous , i do not believe somebody who does not enough experience can turn the economy in the right direction GO HILLARY!

Change is not only possible, it is very much needed. Bill, and Hillary represent the past, are divisive, and basically need to go away. The 90's were not all that great, in fact, they were mediocre at best. Partisan politics don't work, witness today's congress. The only candidate who seems to embrace the concept of bipartisanship in this race is Obama. Thanks South Carolina!! Please America, listen to the message that South Carolina just sent you.

Go Obama.Go Edwards

Give me a Clinton or give me death!
Hopefully it won't be a slow death.

What an impact Bill has on the American people. NOT!!!!!!!!! Just look at the results in South Carolina tonight.. Hillary was doing much better before you opened your big mouth. The only time you sounded good is when that saxaphone was in your face!

If Obama wins the nomination, the Democrats will lose the White House. If Clinton doesn't win, I would rather vote for McCain as Obama has such a lack of experience and has nothing to offer but lofty ideas with no actual plan to accomplish anything. I expect there is a large part of the population, like myself, who would shift from Clinton to McCain.
Better a president who could actually do something.

I used to like the Clintons, but I just don't like what I see anymore. Neither of them has any integrity. She's shrill, he's a bully, and they both want the White House again so badly that they will try to run over anyone who gets in their way

Obama may have less experience, but give me a lack of experience over a lack of integrity anytime.

Yes, Obama beat Hillary soundly despite the negative tactics by the Clintons. But has anyone noticed how the mainstream press gives much more time and space to Hillary over Obama?

Congratulations to the Obama campaign for the win in SC!! I too am another former Clinton supporter. Now I just turn the channel when either of them come on. I sent comments to Hillary's website letting them know what I thought of their behavior in the last couple of weeks. I used to think that if she won, I'd have to vote for her, but like others, I'd vote for McCain before I'd vote for her. And I won't stay home and just not vote, I want my voice heard too! She and Bill have shown that they still play the political games of yesterday. That is exactly not what we want in our next president! Go Barack! Yes We Can!

More and more people are being reminded that the clinton presidency was one of the worst in the history of the Republic. The healthcare fiasco, illegal wars in Bosnia, Serbia and Haiti, firing all 93 of the US Attorneys, and neglecting to safeguard the country from 9/11 by trivialising the threat from al-Qaeda. Oh yes, and of course lying under oath, not to mention paralysing the government. A Federal jail cell is the only place for him.

haha Bill says its false hope. Bury the negativity along with the Hillary campaign. YES WE CAN!

Hillary keeps saying she will be ready on Day 1, but ready for what?

Obama has superior judgement over Clinton, and will make the right decisions on Day 1.

Once again im proud to be an American go Obama

Hey, how come in the picture Bill Clinton looks like some over-the-hill(ary) ex-president with no legacy old-sot who can no longer attract the interns who come to work wearing knee pads ? Truth in advertizing ? Finally !

I bet ole slick willie is sleeping on the couch tonight..

Obama proved he is the better man by the speech he made tonight. As Caroline Kennedy said in her NYT op-ed piece, this is the first time people my age (45) will have the opportunity to vote for a man who reminds them of her father. Bill Clinton looks petty, small and like a complete narcissist. This is about the future, not the past. Get over yourselves, Billary…it's a new millenium.

Thank You South Carolina ! ! ! Hillary is running in '08 on "change and experience� as she was the former First Lady. Does that mean that Chelsea Clinton will run in '16 on "change and experience" as a 2x First Daughter? Kinda beginning to sound like a monarchy. Do your research. Get Informed, Stay Involved, and Free Yourself ! ! !

Bill hurry up already!!!! We lost and we need to get the bus into Tennessee.!!!!

Where is the 'shocker'? The margin, unexpected, but not the win..but not a lot of difference between this and Jesse Jacksons win in SC in the '80's. It is a red state, not worth much overall. Caroline Kennedy is an extreme disappointment…is she Ted's silent endorsement? I guess I'd better brace myself for a week of Jesse and Al lectures…uuuuugh….that's a whole lot worse than listening to Bill could ever be. So, the only question in my mind now is this: Will the Resko trash blow up before or after the Primary? I can't tolerate another Republican in the White House.

This guy's speech reminds me of John F. Kennedy and Ron Reagan—-very eloquent and promising. He speaks like us and behaviors like us. Yes! he can.
Husband and wife will never run our country like private poppy house. Enough!!!

I can't vote for an abortion supporter or I would cross over. He is the stronger Democrat.

I am proud of Obama. But I am not proud that 80% of african american
