Also when his wife Michelle Obama speaks of her husband, she does not have an agenda, unlike some spouses who seek to be in the White House. Let 's put aside our differences and support "Change". Put Senator Obama in office and continue to support him, because he will have 8yrs of mess to clean up.

That is simply not true. With all of the adversity facing the United States, and all of the shortcomings of Government, I want a President that can get things done. I want an individual with outstanding intelligence and ability, who has proven in the past that he has an ability to solve complex problems, and the ability to get things done. America is facing some tough challenges and needs a leader that has the courage and the ability to change the way that things have been done, and find a way to get certain difficult issues a workable solution. In my mind that leaves Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney. John McCain looks like a deer in headlights when asked a question about the economy that requires even modest understanding. John McCain is the perfect solution if you want things to continue as they are. I think it is terribly unfortunate that Rudy will probably exit the race. He has the ability, the intelligence and the willingness to get things done. I don't think there is any question that Mitt has the ability and the experience as well as the intelligence. The question is, does he have the courage to go against the grain if necessary to implement difficult solutions when certain leaders get entrenched in a different position. The answer? I hope so. Also, McCain will never win a general election against Hillary or Obama. Rudy has a great chance, Mitt has a decent chance. Margie Miller- I am a mormon and have been most of my life.

They believe that Jesus Christ is the son of god, and that their church is based on the word of God, the father of Jesus. Joseph Smith founded the church after he was told by the angel Moroni where some metal plates containing holy scriptures were located. He found them and although they were written in "reformed Egyptian" he was able to translate them by placing two magic stones in a hat and covering his face with it. How can you argue with the word of God? Joseph Smith also let us know among other wondrous things that the Garden of Eden was in Jackson County Missouri.

Not good people. And Jeff Y, does that make the 80+% of blacks that voted for Obama in SC just because he is black, bigots too? Since I am on the subject of race, and this country is a country of diversity, why is it that the cable channels think that by placing two white and two black commentators, with a token female, equals diversity? Where are the Hispanic commentators (oh yeah, Lou Dobbs has one) where are the Asian, where are the NATIVE AMERICAN? This is their country too! Wow, look at the comments in here: anti Mormon, anti born again, ageist. Not good people.

Why are you only reporting the results for three each in the Parties? Where are results for the candidates the media ignored all through the Primary process? (Like Biden who I voted for today even though he dropped out from lack of media attention driving down donations). And I ask again, where are you getting your polling numbers from since Miami Dade and Broward (two bigger counties) haven't reported? Their web site reporting pages aren't even reporting anything yet. And not only was there not ONE exit poller at my polling place, but no one asked me my race or age so where are you getting that data from?

Nobody can win Florida because there are no delegates!!! CNN looks like an arm of the Clinton Family like Fox News is an arm of the Republican Party - yes, it's THAT overt and shameless.

These people have been around for a while and they must think Bush is on the right track they might have something here, no more bombing in the USA which is about the only thing I think he’s done. They might just be right, however being a retired VET I can not condone the killing of such young kids or even worse is maimed for life just doesn’t sit well with me at all. We have much more important things to do right here and now. Getting those people off the streets and getting them into a home, get back some of those jobs we outsourced for a better America. Find a way so that every American can have health insurance they can afford and will cover them completely with no hidden charges, and prescription drugs that we all can afford. Once we have things straightened out here maybe then we could get involved in the world issued but not until we have some of these issues taken care of So what this says is that the people who have age and wisdom are thinking the Bush Administration is doing what’s best?

They are reporting the running tally of the Democratic primary as if the numbers are real. All of the three major candidates pledged not to do any campaigning in Florida. Thus, it is obvious that the candidate with the best name recognition will have a land slide. This type of reporting is simply misleading to the public-- and, undoubtedly, Clinton will claim it as a victory. Let's just call it what it is-- a non-vote.
