The liberal image lingers and it is unfortunate, it is sticking with Obama - the ultra liberal label... An ultra liberal cannot win the election!!! American voters are smart, the media hype of Obama leading the polls is an abomination. There is a "hidden" Hillary vote. It is not magnified but it is real. I was one who was not ready to vote for another Clinton. But my wife, my daughter and my sisters(all women) not active nor interested in political campaigns in the past, now, they e-mail, call in their' own way convincing friends and relatives to vote for Hillary! Can you imagine, when I sent my absentee ballot, I voted for Hillary instead? Obama has great oratorical skills and charisma and smart too, except he has no depth like Martin or Jesse. I am not sure why he is running. He has appeal, yes, but he lack the presidential timber of toughness. I do not know about you, I was not willing to gamble MY VOTE. I voted for another Clinton!!!

Not suprisingly, since he is a New York politician, obviously seeing the carrot the Clinton's are holding in front of his nose: Attorney General. For the record, Robert's mother, with nothing to gain politically, endorsed Obama this week. His endorsement is not new, he endorsed HRC months ago.

Cesar Chavez's son and Robert Kennedy, Jr. represent the concerns of the same people Hillary represents: health care for all, educating our children for a better future, and a cleaner, greener environment. And it appears she will have the "women's vote" as well. Hillary Clinton-the first woman President of the United States. Yes! Great endorsements for Hillary!

Look at these replies. The kennedy endorsements for Clinton came long before Ted Kennedy had his hissy fit. Its interesting to note that the older kennedys support Obama, and the younger ones support Clinton. According to the change hype, it should have been the other way around.

Are all of these vitriolic attacks coming from liberal or moderate Democrats with no memories, consciences or ability to buold bridges within the Democratic party itself - let alone with independents and moderate Repubs -or are we hearing from bleating closet- Repubs and intolerant me-tooers following the latest rock star?

Robert compares Hilary to his father. And if I had the choice of John F. Kennedy for President or Robert F. Kennedy as President I think the choice would be clear! One of them was already elected President! This is one time where we should follow history and let the true candidate move into the White House and let the other maybe go back to being a statesman - or making documentaries about feminism? She can call it the Inconvenient Truth as well. Nobody will know the difference, because nobody wants to see either one of them! Caroline compares Obama to her father.

We as women are the fabric that holds this country together. Men in general, have deserted us, our children and our parents. We raised those men, coddled them, and stood behind them. Hillary has put up with all of their ribald jokes, attacks on her credibility, and their boiler room approach to the issues that this country faces. I see men who have worked in the senate against Hillary, why? I see men who have ran for president and lost, against her. I see great women of our time, against Hillary. I see Democrats who have never supported anyone, but the party’s nominee, against Hillary. We as women are afraid to say these things and I ask myself why. Never, in the history of a presidential race has the way someone looked had so much more import, than the way that person thinks. Her desire to be president is no more self serving than other nominees. I am tired of hearing, because he dares to give her what she gave him (loyalty), he is tainting his legacy. She has put forth real solutions to the economy, the war in Iraq, healthcare etc. She knows the nuances of her solutions and she gives details. The other candidates have no answer to Hillary’s real solutions, her intellect and her ability to stay on point in the face of such adversity. We will elect a woman for president. If this woman is not qualified, then, no woman ever will be. She is known all over the world. She has to be twice as good as all the other candidates and she is. Why is Hillary so reviled?
