There is a comment about the Clinton's' doubling up and look at the quad squad yesterday for Barack Obama. Please no more Clinton bias. Obama seems to have a celebrity following. At the very least folks, can we play fair? I hope so. Senator Clinton is a wonderful woman who has dedicated her life for the greater good and some of the comments CNN has allowed which I have found extremely offensive towards Senator Clinton is cruel and nasty. Lighten up folks.

I hate to say it but Maria's right and Arnold is wrong, or should I say, "wong!"

This is no surprise. Mr Ambiguous gets another endorsement from another blue blooded washington insider. Barack started off sounding so different, but now has yet to clearly state a policy specific, and keeps hanging out with old established insiders.

Who cares if Maria endorses anymore than Teddy, Caroline, or Oprah. You know what they have ever done to directly affect my family? None of them have an idea of how hard it is to raise a family or make a living now, if they ever did.....

Sorry folks we can not recapture Camalot. Jack and Jacquie are both gone. Obama is no JFK no matter who tries to convince me otherwise. Carolines' father was the one, the only JFK. She said "other people" told her, he reminded them of her father. Who were these others? She was too young, too and protected by her mother. How could she be so easily led astray. Now Ethel says he reminds her of RFK. Is he RFK or JFK. They were two different people? I know he keeps referring to himself as JFK, never heard him mention RFK. How can a self proclaimed JFK get so many people to believe him? Well, there is the Jim Jones factor. Some people can convince others of anything. We all want to believe in Fairytales. We live in the real world. Rezko,Exelon,voting present and then on the Iran issue he was absent. Can't have a lot of wrong votes if you miss so many of them. Wouldn't it be something if he did not carry Illinois. I'm sure the Rezko indictment is playing big there. We don't even know if he would have won re-election, he has only ran for Senator one time. Maria, well she just came from a horse show, looking rode hard and put away wet.

It doesn't matter who endorses who or what the polls state. Most people have already made up their minds long before all these debates and endorsements. This country is ready for a change all right. We need a woman in the office, that will be a major change. Electing Obama is a change but not as much as electing a woman for the first time as president of a great country such as the United States of America. Go Hillary.

The FACT is this-– Watch Fox News ( I know it is hard) but the canidate the GOP does not want to see is Hillary............They are obsessed with her--Obama experience (lack of) will be the focal point.........remember the last two elections GW and the terror propaganda machine--people buy it--That is THE fact.... Obama will not be treated with kid gloves in the general election

You have not seen one of the endorsers from the Senate has yet to speak on Obama behalf this includes Kerry and Kennedy, this should tell you something.
Just talk and image again from these old hanging on Democrates.
Vote substance. Vote for Obama will be a vote for the Republican, sad reality.

I posted a comment in regard to endorsement several days ago on CNN and MSNBC and neither one made it out of moderation. I am going to condense it here, but it will give you some idea of the unfairness by the media. State govenors, 9 to 6 for Clinton. Four of the six are red states . Senators, 11 to six for Clinton. I am telling you that Obama can not win and some of you democrats out there are being led wrong when you hear all this baloney that this republican and this so caaled independent is going to vote for Obama. . Why are you letting some republicans decide our democratic candidate.

NOW FRANK, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME IF LAURA BUSH HAS EVEN TRIED TO DO ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA WHILE HER HUSBAND HAS BEEN IN OFFICE, AS HILLARY TRIED TO DO AS FIRST LADY. BESIDES ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, HILLARY CLINTON IS THE ONLY FIRST LADY WHO ACTUALLY WORKED FOR THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA, WHILE HER HUSBAND HELD THE PRESIDENCY." Hillary was much more than the :first lady". She was co-president. Remember 2 for the Price of one???? Laura Bush and Elenor Roosevelt, both discharged their duties as "first lady" Hillary, by her own admission tried to "share" the presidency with the "Elected" President!!!! Anybody "familiar" with the Clinton years knows Hillary was "first" lady in name only!!!! "

I feel the media is anti-Hillary. They have really given her a beating, plus not reporting much about her. Many things have been 'suggested' about her that are simply not true. FOX for example has really played dirty.

You're free to care or not care about endorsements as you see fit. However, going around insulting people who endorse someone besides your candidate is just petty and sad.

I hope that people will not be distracted by the endorser who have their own agenda. I hope people will vote for the candidate who will be the best to solve America's economic and political problems – I believe that candidate is Hillary Clinton

I agree strongly with canadian cate, and joywinnebago we are idolizing a candidate a cheerleader. He may be nice, but there is no substance. Also, I have been posting to CNN and other news stations however, they do not want to hear that they are preferencial. My husband used to be a journalist and left his profession because of the bias. I do not feel represented by Obama, if I want inspiration, I receive it at my church. Also, I really hope, that the people are going to be voting on issues and not on famous endorsements, that does not give me a job nor health insurance.

Go Hillary

The weman like this man, because they have seen something good in him. Weman lke good person. someone who will respect them, love them, help them in every ways and pripvide jobs for their children. They like someone who can make right decision. That is the key, look at it you need someone to talk to when there is a difficult issue and you need someone that will tell the right thing. That is Obama, he will tell you the right thing.
Hillary should be Obama vice they will win big comes November and both weman and men will pour in their support.
Nominate Obama
Obama 08!

Gee it took her 20 years to make friends and people like him so much it only takes a couple of days? don't forget their are people out there who HATE HILLARY, do we really want 4 more years of our elected officials fighting among themselves or would we like Obama to reach across the aisle and get something done?

Corey- Last night NPR made the announcement, even had a link on their site stating that (which I had posted a few replies above your question) but now the link no longer works, nothing can be found on NPR either. I guess they jumped the gun or were wrong. No idea. I'm rather annoyed actually.

I dont think its reasonable celebrities should be stumping all over the place for a candidate to get them elected.

Oprah knows she cant just con people into voting. She is targeting the easiest group to con with HYPE. Young people.

Amelia, Sacramento, CA — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:55:20 +0000

After seeing Maria Shriver give that speech yesterday... that speech that was allegedly off the cuff... that speech where she claimed to have arrived at the arena all haggard looking because she was out at riding lessons earlier... that speech where she compared Obama the candidate to California the state... THAT speech... It makes me wonder why Obama needs all these celebrity endorsers to stump for him. If he was 1/2 as persuasive as Oprah, would he need her to hit the circuit?

At any rate, after being bombarded with ads, the constant news coverage, the myriad endorsement announcements, and much soul searching, this California household has come to a decision.

We're voting Hillary on Tuesday.

The Kennedys have had 45 years to "make change" as they put it. Obama certainly has a way with words but this country needs more than words. We need someone who has the knowledge to get things done and that's HILLARY.

The Kennedys are a joke and people have learned that over the years. Anyone with that many Kennedys behind cannot be trusted and you add the other obvious baggage means no chance for him. Hillary will win by a landslide!

I guess thats a nice endorsement, but what has Maria Schriver ever done for the nation?
Like her cousin Caroline, she is another do nothing Kennedy.
Obama and his supporters keep slamming the Clintons as being a political dynasty, and then who do they go crawling to for help – the most worthless political dynasty in American history. The family of murdering Ted Kennedy, drunken rapist Smith, murderer Skakel, I dont know how many drug overdoses and drunken football on the ski slopes. This family should be called the first family of bad behaviour and NO ONE should want their endorsement.

I don't hate Obama nor do I hate Obama supporters. I do feel sorry for them, especially after reading some of these comments. Hillary clearly won on every question in this last debate with the exception of what the media touts and overplays...the Iraq war. It's not about a vote that only 23 senators voted against, it's about who is the least reckless in ending this war going forward. Senator Kerry voted the same way as Hillary!LOL YOU DON'T TELL THE ENEMY OF A DATE CERTAIN WHEN YOU WILL "GUARANTEE" TO HAVE THE TROOPS HOME. PERIOD. Maria said it best "I see a dreamer, and a leader". Sorry, but only the first half of this statement is reality at this crucial time.

As a Republican, the Terminator can not easily endorse a Democrat and that is the reason why he asked the wife to go forth and endorse Obama because that is absolutely the Candidate the Terminator wants as President. Come on People, try to read the writings on the Wall.

Go Obama!!!

Most of you Obama supporters really sound like morons. I cannot believe you people are so excited over endorsements, yet you don't even really know what your candidate stands for, besides change. What change, that he's black? It's so ridiculous! It's the same thing with Hillary Clinton, don't vote for her because she's a woman... vote for her because she is the BEST candidate who can turn this country around. If Obama wins the DEM nomination, he will NEVER win the general election. He is not JFK, he is not MLK, he's just an empty suit that can read a good pre-written speech. It's just so frustrating what is going on here.

I still keep saying those of you who claim Hilary has got the so called Experience, where were her experiences when she was voting for the war in Iraq and is today regretting.

The President of America is not only for the interest of America but for the World.... come on people give me a break... You Fans of Hilary should take a glance around the World. From Asia ( Japan, China etc etc ) to Africa, in the Middle East ( Iraq, Afghanistan etc ) which we know is the greatest challenge of the next President, right over here in Europe ( Germany, England, Holland etc etc ) where i am base it's Obama. All around the world people are watching this Election and have listen to the Candidates talk. Obama is the cry of everybody around the world. Those in the Middle East need peace in their region and they are optimistic Obama can bring that Peace.

Lets not vote a Candidate because She did this or that 8 years ago. What makes you believe Obama won't double what ever she did in the past. White House is not a Monarchy, give way for others to do big things. Obama has good objectives and anybody voting against him is simply because of his gender or race. There's absolutely no reason to turn him down, he has good records and has been a good Patriot.

Those of us in Europe are very proud of those white voters who are solidly behind Obama. It tells us that there are good people out there who are ready to fight this racist disease and are ready to face the truth for a better America. Even if Obama doesn't end up being the nominee, we will never forget this historic moment in Americas Politic.

God Bless you all

To the thinking person with the gut – you should be asking yourself why the very personal friends of Hillary who have the experience of working with her and know her the best would prefer to endorse Obama rather than Hillary? How many of the senior senators who know both very well, prefer Obama?

OBAMA is going to be the next President of the United States..and he will be a great one....why because he inspires people.......to be better than their selves...Hillary thinks she's owed....and thats the said part once you think it's supposed to yours is the moment you start to lose it.....and there will not be a Obama/Clinton ticket....back to the senate...then maybe she will do something worth while...because she will have no aspirations for higher office.....Obama 08
