		<description>I think Hilary is the best candidate to get the job done, plus I am sick and tierd of Obama trying to gain the lead by putting Hilary down. Both are from the same party and I mostly hear Obama and his campaign putting her and her platform down. It not a matter of race, It is a matter who is best qualified to take the task. Who ever wins the should join the other and make of this country a better place to live. I know it will be a hard task and it may take more than 1 or 2 terms to clean up the mess Bush made, but I want a huge change in this country and I think Hilary is that big change waiting to take office and make a difference.</description>

		<description>Obama is a true leader. Hillary cannot even think what to say next. She will be a good successor to bush because she is a little bit like him. She has to read what she wants to say</description>

		<description>It is unfortunate that some of us cannot see things as clearly as we should. To vote for the Clintons is to forget the good old days Bill&#039;s wife wants to go back to. Back to the days of sex scandles, unethical business involvements returning great profits, selling stays at the whitehouse to the highest bidder, perjury, impeachment, and disbarment . Cry if you must, and seek  votes based upon gender and race, but don&#039;t expect us to make you president so long as our memory remains intact.</description>

		<description>We are in good shape. Both Clinton and Obama is are great people who really care. I am for Obama, but Hillary or Obama will serve the country well is she wins the nomination. 

Hillary and Obama on the same ticket, with Hillary as President. As Vice President Obama will have a chance to learn from the master politician, William Jefferson. 

The democrats are in very good shape with either.</description>

		<description>I have nothing against Hillary, she&#039;s a good politician, but Mr Obama makes me believe a better way is possible. I have not felt like that in years and that&#039;s worth my vote.</description>

		<description>What do you mean by &quot;Your comment is awaiting moderation.&quot; Have you filtered through all comments and sent that preliminary response to pro-Obama postings? I don&#039;t think so! CNN, you are decidely pro-Obama - give all the Hillary supporters as much space and print as you do the Obama supporters! You are treating Obama the same way you treated Bush - no tough questions, and only publishing the positive. Here we go again!!!</description>

		<description>For those of you saying you can&#039;t trust polling, remember, even Clinton&#039;s internal polling had her losing New Hampshire. Obviously some sort of anomoly happened on voting day, causing the change. But not including that state, as it was obviously an outlier, polling has been consistant.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day, for sure.</description>

		<description>Reading Neal&#039;s and Cristina&#039;s comments: Yes , I have heard of Obama promised to have the troop home within 16 months. But you never heard of anyone else said about the dates of having the troop home yet, not from Hillary!  Why? Israel is the KEY. That is why. Israel with the lobbyists are to decide when the troop is coming home. News for you, the troop is not coming home, they have to fight the war for the SURVIVAL of Israel in the middle east. That is my opinion. dancewu(dot)net</description>

		<description>I have two requests, please?

1.  To all of those people stating that they&#039;ve seen other polls with Clinton leading by some excessive number:

I&#039;ve conducted a survey of my own.  

Hillary Clinton:  0%
Barack Obama: 100%
n = 1
Margin of Error:  0%

My point is, please don&#039;t state you&#039;ve &quot;seen&quot; statistical results and leave it at that.  False claims and/or unsupported/skewed claims make you look bad. (Sound familiar to anyone?)

(and if you haven&#039;t figured out, I surveyed myself)  :P


2.  I&#039;m noticing that a lot of HRC supporters are typing all in caps and leaving a wall&#039;o-text that is very painful to read (in this thread and others).  There&#039;s no reason to type all in caps and &quot;shout&quot; to try to make your point.  The occasional word or phrase is ok and managable, but when the whole paragraph is styled that way, it can be very difficult to read.  (Plus, it makes it kind of unattractive, and I&#039;m sure none of us like to look at unattractive things).

Thanks!</description>

		<description>Seems like Americans are feeling as if they were born just three days ago when looking at election issues. Haven&#039;t they got the common-sense to realise that the White House is out of bounds even to Whites like ITALIANOS (Gulianni) and so forth.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been calling undecideds in California to urge them to vote for Obama. No urging required.  I reached very few young people, by the way, they don&#039;t have land lines and we don&#039;t have cell phone numbers. I want to ask you, how are people who only have cell phones polled? Just curious.

That rally at UCLA today was marvelous. Did you know that Michelle Obama and her husband are still paying off their college loans? Talk about walking in my shoes.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m tired of the comparisons of Obama to JFK.  Obama wouldn&#039;t have been able to stare down the Russians as JFK did during the Cuban Missle Crisis.  This is evidenced by his 125 present votes while in the Illinois State Senate.  Further evidence of this is the vote on the Iranian Republican Guard issue.  While Clinton and McCain came back from campaigning to vote, Obama was AWOL.  If he voted yes the liberals would be upset, if he voted no, it would be used against him in the general election.

Is this an example of the change he is talking about?  If there is a difficult decision to make he&#039;ll stick his head in the sand?

If Obama is the nominee, I&#039;m voting for McCain.  At least McCain isn&#039;t afraid to stand up and be counted</description>

		<description>My entire family is supporting Obama and we are excited about the poll results (Cheryl, Zogby&#039;s specific results are available to anyone who pays the $99...Zogby is a business). We are still concerned about the early pre-momentum vote, which preceded Senator Kennedy&#039;s endorsement, but if Senator Obama even comes close, it will be his night...what an accomplishment, considering the Clintons had a double digit lead just last week!</description>

		<description>Californians are smart.  The poll from CNN that suggest Clinton is slightly ahead of Obama is a total lie just like CNN censors alot of comments posted by Clinton supporters or independent voters who are willing to vote for Clinton.  At the end of Super Tuesday, Clinton will win by landslide in California and ALAS! once again
CNN&#039;s biased against Clinton and her supporters will be widely known.  CNN please don&#039;t be like FOX News.  You still have time left to prove yourself that you are not bias, that you are independent by not favoring OBAMA.  Stay Independent for the sake of AMerica.</description>

		<description>I see that a lot of the posting here seem to throw a blind eye to the message of hope and change.  I for one dont care who it is that chants these type of words but I can tell you one thing I know for sure. That it was the same type of hope and change that the founding fathers of this nation had when they fougth for freedom.
 Or the same hope and change that Lincoln had when he brougth our nation back together after the Civil War and freed the slaves. Or the same hope and change that inspired Dr. King to fight for civil rights. And all these things help make this nation so great, so all you ney sayer of hope and change think about what you are truely saying.</description>

		<description>Cristina, please. With all due respect, I&#039;ve heard him be specific on Iraq withdrawal (16mos), the way to shore up social security (increase contribution for top earners), reduce our dependence on foreign oil (take the $1billion a day we spend on foreign oil and invest in American green energy industry), an increase in Pell grants and $4k college education tax credit, reducing health care costs for catastrophic outlays by focusing on prevention, reducing carbon emissions 80% by 2050, and on and on, and this is only from what I&#039;ve heard in these silly sound bite debates! Be fair, all the Cristinas of the world. Don&#039;t perpetuate empty criticisms and we&#039;ll all be the better for it. If you want to level real criticism, I&#039;ll help you: all you Hillary folks really have is that his health care plan doesn&#039;t have a mandate for adults and that he hasn&#039;t been a part of the Washington establishment for very many years. Big deal coming from backers of a candidate who voted with Bush and the other war mongers on Iraq, who has taken more money from federal lobbyists than anyone in the race, and who actually said in a campaign rally: &quot;I&#039;m fired up and ready to go for change&quot;, a defining moment in her campaign, when a number of people who had been wondering if she&#039;s authentic made up their minds. We can really change this country, but we have to choose our leader wisely.</description>

		<description>Will the sore loser, poor sport Clintonites please quit dumping on CNN for just 
doing their jobs!?  This is crazy - you know CNN is the best.  Quit using CNN as
a scapegoat everytime something good happens for Obama, or something bad happens for Hillary.  I happen to be a strong Obama supporter who doesn&#039;t get angry when CNN puts forth stories on Clinton - because that doesn&#039;t make sense!!

Also, reporters put themselves in harms way and I am grateful for them.  it was very wrong for Bill Clinton to chew out that FEMALE reporter for doing her job!!

Go CNN !!!!</description>

		<description>And if Obama wins I&#039;ll band together with the women disenfranchised by Ted Kennedy and the DNC and  vote for Ralph Nadar.  That&#039;s the talk that I&#039;m hearing from women&#039;s groups.  It&#039;ll mean four more years of Republican misery but we have to take a stand some time, and it looks like this is the time!   Does Harold Dean read these things by chance?</description>

		<description>As far as Hillary and Obama go they basically seem the same on the issues. I really only see the major differences in two areas.

Health care.
Obama wants to make healthcare more affordable so anyone who wants healthcare can afford it but doesn&#039;t make you buy it. Hillary wants to make it more affordable but also wants to make sure everyone has it. While that is the ultimate goal that everyone would be covered, it&#039;ll also cost everyone even more in taxes and if you can&#039;t afford the mandatory government healthcare cost you&#039;ll get penalized or fined.


War/foreign policy.
Obama is willing to talk with people we oppose, opening up a dialogue that doesn&#039;t currently exist. I support us using diplomacy, one of the things that makes this country great. Obama was against the war from the very start which is a key judgment issue. 

On the issue of experience. They will both have advisers and a cabinet filled with people that have experience on issues as well. Obama has some more street experience and state level legislature experience while Hillary of course has one more term of washington senate and the experience as first lady. 

And this election is about who has the ability to bring us all together again. Stop the partisan politics and transcend this process to a higher level. I have a feeling Hillary already has a lot of people who won&#039;t even listen to her based on the past 16 years...that&#039;s where experience can hurt you. Just my opinion.

But I do like Hillary a lot, she&#039;s strong, done a lot of positive things. I just think Obama is the best option for the country right now.</description>

		<description>Ted Kennedy pushed the race button by media leaks, not the Clinton&#039;s.  He was champing at the bit to come out for the first credible black candidate.  He encouraged Obama to run, it has been rumored he has wanted to come out for him since Iowa and he invented a reason because he wanted to be the big dog, administer a good &quot;beat down&quot; to Hillary and Bill and prove he carried more weight in the Democratic party than Clinton.   Talk about dirty politics.  All of a sudden, right before Super  Tuesday, Kennedy&#039;s come out of the wood work.  If he wanted to support him just say so.  Anybody who believes this wasn&#039;t his plan for the last several months is crazy.  He can&#039;t bring up any of Bill&#039;s women because of his family&#039;s history.  Camelot was not the dream it is remembered as.  

Think about it.  His family supporting Obama to the White House emphasizes &quot;Camelot&quot;.  Hillary going to the Whitehouse emphasizes the Clinton legacy.  Doesn&#039;t take a brain surgeon to figure this out.  Guess who will be Obama&#039;s top confident.  Obama took a large loan out for this, how is he going to cross Kennedy?

If you&#039;ll notice all the senator&#039;s who ran for president who are supporting are from the old politics.  Several of them ran for president, but couldn&#039;t get elected.  Seems like pay back to Clinton who not only won once, but twice.</description>

		<description>by rdr5762 2/3/2008 3:13:10 PM As an avid supporter of Hillary, I am concerned when I read articles of this nature that it is not being broadcast to the millions who need to hear it. I am also concerned that I haven&#039;t heard anyone pointing out that Obama indicated he&#039;d be RIGHT on day one in the debate, but then later in the same debate he stated that he wants to hear different points of views because he may not always be RIGHT. Kind of contridictory don&#039;t you think!!!!! At the same time Obama has been giving all of these speeches about being RIGHT on day one. without any substance (which the Republicans are already prepared and would be more than happy to point out if he makes it to the general election phase). I&#039;m sure if his supporters were challenged to name at least 3 items on his platform, they wouldn&#039;t know where to begin. 

I think it&#039;s time to stop the so called &quot;momentum&quot; and bring the nation back to reality. We need a President in these challenging times with experience and the ability to get things done. One who can face the Republicans head on without the possibility of being labeled a &quot;liberal&quot;.</description>

		<description>It appears to some the media has done eveything possible to make this race as even as possible (run positives on one candidate and then only the negative on another....fact check one...but not the other)...it sells more product!  Why during the debates do questions on Iran, and the Palestinians and Israel ignored?  Why no mention of the Balakans and the Kosovo?  Russia?   Iraq/Afganistan were mentioned...the are mentioned on almost every debate on TV but never these key international issues?  The Republicans are going to come hard at the Democrats over National Security it would be nice to hear the Democratic views on these issues.  

Follow on...Senator Obama failed to show up for the Senate vote on the designation of Iran&#039;s Al Quds Forces designation as a terrorist group.   Meanwhile US service men and women who are risking their lives in Iraq and Afganistan, continue to be killed or hurt by Iranian made improvised explosives.  Senator Clinton managed to take a break from the campaign trail earlier this year to make that vote.   She recognized their was a need to protect our troops lives and send a clear message to our nations potential enemies.  The spin doctors have tried to say this vote gives the President a &quot;green light&quot; to attack Iran, which of course it does not, it was a simple yes or no vote.  Senator Clinton made the vote as did Senator McCain.  Hmmm...could some one been concerned about poll numbers on these difficult issues

As  American voters--it is truly only our individual endorsement that count.</description>
