I always knew that Hulk Hogan was a decent guy. Well this proves it! Thank you Hulk Hogan for your intelligent endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President of The United States. I pray that your son is much better after that tragic accident last year. You didn't deserve to have that in your life.

Thank again for your fantastic endorsement of Senator Barack Obama. It's much appreciated!

Hulk Hogan does not hold an weight except for probably Steroids, he did not care about his son when he provided him with alcohol when he was underaged which led to another underaged being hospitalized. No one care's what he thinks, he obviously does not think!

Hillary for President!

Fellow Americans,

I see a large number of us taking jabs at Obama because of brief interaction with Tony Rezko, however the Clintons were in the same boat with Rezko. Please Google Tony Rezko and Clintons...Bill and Hill took a photo with Tony while Bill was running for President (2nd term). If we're going to attack Obama for this relationship, we'll need to attack the Clintons as well. Fair is Fair...the info is noted below...

Hulk voted in Florida, thats right he was part of the 33%, not the 50% winning vote.
That will constinutionallly count in August and in November for sure.

Just because someone dresses well, has great speech and looks nice does not mean they will be able to run this country. I believe that Obama will be a good leader someday but not now. He does not have the experience. How can someone that has not run a city or a state be able to run this country? I do believe that he has some great ideas, but he has no experience. I mean, I could come up with some awesome ideas that would be great for this country, but I don't think that anyone will vote for me.

For all the clinton supporters claiming that the media is being biased. U support the incumbant candidate, the wife of a former president, she should have the majority of the endorsements, she should have the most money. When some guy comes out of nowhere and gives the establishment a crebible fight then thats newsworthy. Hillary Clinton's endorsemnts are being reported (i saw maxine waters the other day and somehow i know barbara streisand is supporting her), although most of them she got when she was the inevitable nominee. However, considering the dynamics of the race the fact that obama is getting so many recently is newsworthy.

And this is news? Maybe he came on board to help hold Ted Kennedy up. Not as though these endorsements mean much, Hulk has a lot sitting on his shoulders right now after his last little bit of news. Welcome to him Obama. Most of these endorsements just brings to light some checkered past. of the endorser. They would better serve themselves just staying neutral, guess negative attention is better than no attention. Vote Hillary

I think the primary process will end up being more exciting than the actual general election contest, unless of course a third party candidate jumps in and gives us some common sense for a change.

We're sleepwalking towards a Clinton/Obama versus McCain/Huckabee situation. Romney? I dunno. Either way, these last five are perhaps the most boring candidates left.

Way to go America. Obama is all sentimental and feel-goody with vapid answers on everything, Huckabee is the sentimental feel-goody on the other side(a cross of Jimmy Carter/Bill Clinton/Elmer Fudd), Romney is the Kerry of '08, McCain is really boring and displays lots of arrogance when he's winning, and Hillary is the pro-war, pro-Amnesty lefty(wrong on both of those key issues). It's all just more of the same.

Richardson, Dodd, Edwards, Paul and Biden. I'd take those five over the five that are left any day. Once again, we dismiss reason and sound judgment over flash, style, sentimentality and a whole lot of sunshine blown up our butts.

Hulksters endorsement of Obama carries more weight than Schwarzeneggers endorsemrnt of McCain. Maybe this shouldn't be important, but the fact is .... it is important to millions of Hogan fans.

Let's see...

Within the last few months, Hulk Hogan's son was in a car accident that resulted in permanent injuries to his buddy (an Iraq War veteran), despite receiving several speeding accidents in the past.

Soon thereafter, Hulk Hogan's wife filed for divorce (whether this is a stunt to safeguard the Hogan fortune due to the aforementioned unfortunate accident victim is another issue).

It seems to me that Hulk Hogan needs to reset his priorities and focus on his fractured family before concerning himself with the political arena.

Hillary gets many endorsements like this every day, but it is hardly ever mentioned in the media. This is no big deal. Hillary still has about twice the endorsements Obama has.

Hillary Clinton is basically playing politics without understanding the reality of being the President of the United States of America. I don't think she can handle the pressure of today's world.

Incase she wins the democratic nomination and happens to defeat her republican rival, the pressure of being president will make her to always cry behind doors in the oval office.

It seems like Bill Clinton wants to be president again in 2008. I don't know if he is campaigning for himself or for Hillary.

Barack Obama is the person America needs now (not want). It is high time we americans see people by their character and what they stand for and not by the color of thier skin.

If Hillary Clinton becomes the president of the United States of America? the nation will regret it forever. That's my prediction

Dave Powell is on the money! (See below) ... The Clintons may be experienced, but they bring a tractor-trailer full of skeletons with them. America, WAKE UP! We don't need to contintue this Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton routine! We need fresh ideas and new faces in our government ... McCain or Obama! I personally think an Obama/Edwards ticket would be an electable ticket ... I think McCain is getting a little long in the tooth. However, if it is Hillary vs. McCain, my vote goes to McCain in a heartbeat!

It blows me away how judgemental people are on who does what, if it not in their interest or things don't go there way, then out comes the fights and smears.
Does it matter who supports whom the grand scheme of things? Are we not alll americans who live in a country of free choices?
So with all the endorsements and support to whom ever, is just an indication of who they believe in................is there anything wrong with that?
Are they endorsing and supporting the candidate, or is the candidate endorsing or supporting THEM?????????? Is this campaign about the supporters or the candidates??????? THINK THINK, or
Go figure,
go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!

What you gonna do hillary when the largest group of old men backing Obama comes down on you? Um, agent of change? Who's the next old white dude to support Obama? Change is not getting support from the relics. Kerry, Kennedy, Hogan...ect Change is a nice word, but HOW are you going to do this, WHEN would this take place and WHERE would the change be?

I don't understand some people. Hillary has got Bill because he is her HUSBAND. That is why he is on the trail with her. I find it funny when people talk about Hillary calling out her big dog, and that he should not be playing as much a role, once again he is her HUSBAND. Michelle Obama is on the trail with her husband and I heard her give a fire and brim stone speech the other day, nothing was said about that. I like both of these people but the media and some people are stirring up the trouble. If this was two white men running and doing these things it would be regular politics.

Cnn, I am a fan of your network and have been an avid watcher for sometime. But, over the last 20 days I have done a little poll. In 18 of those days, you have given Barack more positive press coverage than Hillary Clinton. 18/20 = 90%.

Today, 2 for Barack.

Barack raises 32 million.
Hulk Hogan's Endorsement.

Of course, I guess you forgot Hillary has out raised him thus far, but alas, that is not worthy information b/c it is put Barack in the best light.

I will be back tomorrow with an update.

dan- this isnt what the election has boiled down to . Its a few a sentences on a website blog. Hogan is a figure most americans recoginize and he has an opinion on the presidential election. Good for him. Lighten up. If the ultimate warrior endorses clinton and i dont see a blog on it i will join u in writing a formal complaint to cnn.

Thats nice, Obama has all the celebrities doing his dirty work for him; considering he just lets them speak, while he sits back smiling. Also, lets notice that most of the people on this message board that are for Obama are men (boys). I'm a college student and it's sad.
