CNN

Ron paul is the only logical choice but since i know he has no chance I won't even bother.

And since im already leaving a comment

The "Republican Hispanic Woman" towards the top: Can anyone say part of the Hillary campaign?

Oh

and can someone explain to me how She's going to solve poverty all across America?

Dems are too niave for me

I'd like a peaceful, happy world too but when are they going to understand wishing and achieving are two seperate things?

Being a guy who goes to church and works full time (not for the government) and requires anyone I vote for to have at least one KNOWN accomplishment.....

Well – that last requirement eliminates Hillary and Obama obviously.....

Guess I'll have to vote Romney. McCain is a maverick (which means unpredicatable) so voting for him is a huge unknown by definition. He has been a tad liberal on taxes and immigration – neither of which does any one PAYING this tax bill (like me) much good.

If I quit going to church and quit my job....I guess Obama would be best – because the liberal social policies would help me get into the pockets of those still working. Unless I got married and had kids....then I'd pull a Madona – who said – "I want to protect my daughter from people like me." In that case – back to republican again....

I heard the Obama campaign has prisoners writting messages on this board day and night, any truth to it? After the nasty calls coming from his campaign, I would not doubt it at all! Vote Hillary!

Vote for Edwards, the People's President. Don't Let The MEDIA choose.

Correction -Hillary appeared at Letterman's show on Monday as you correctly write but the displayed picture says Tuesday.

I hope Hillary is the nominee and becomes the next president. Obama is in the amking and is not yet ready.

Bill from Illinois. I love your post.

Chosing a leader is not a function of colour, sympathy or emotion. It is not judging by the colour of skin but by the content of character, not by promises but achievements, not by the gospel of 'I will' but the testimony of 'I have', not by staying diplomatic but being emphatic about issues because a leader is not confronted with emotions but taking of decision which has both a restricted and wider security sense. I'll advice we vote our future wisely. 4 years is not a day but a count of days.

The coverage of the election by certain US media channels (CNN, Fox, MSNBC) has been nothing short of a disgrace. They consistently favour one candidate over another – no wonder the polls are as close as they are.

The sad thing is that if Hillary Clinton were a man she would have kicked Obama's butt into touch a long time ago – unfortunately the misogynistic press have their own agenda and that means that Obama gets away scot-free whilst Clinton receives criticism.

Obama increasingly reminds me of a politician from these shores- Tony Blair. Obama seems to offer some of the vague hope and generalised dreams that Blair threw around in '97 and for years after...it 'sounds' good, 'looks' good...but the reality and delivery is somewhat harder to swallow.

Are you kidding me? Obama is running against Hillary w/ 35 years of experience and Bill, the popular president among Democrats, yet he is winning. You think McCain is any match for him. Sure, they will bring out the 'experience' thing, but so what, Hillary has brought out the 'experience' thing from day one.

Both Hillary and Obama can beat McCain because the majority of people are against this war, and McCain wants to prolong to 100 years +.

Let the Republican nominate McCain, the Democrats will beat him. Nothing bad about him aside from his standing on this war, which we know will bankrupt the country and kill many more people. Out of conscience, I will hold my nose and vote for Hillary if needed. But if Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I'll be proud to be a Democrat and an American again.

As a 40year old American woman i would like first to congratulate my home team "the NY GIANTS" for their victorious win…"SUPER GIANTS"….I was born in Portugal but came to the US at the age of 10 and have been an American citizen for 20 years, I am proud to call myself an AMERICAN, not a "Portuguese-American" not a "European-American but just an AMERICAN because that's what i am, that's how i feel, and for the first time in my life i will vote. Im from Newark, New Jersey , a real melting pot in the US, and my vote without a doubt goes to Hillary Clinton, and in November if Hillary is not in the race then i will have to vote republican.

"Miracles happen, just believe…………………..

GO GIANTS !!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!

Incredulous...this is the 4th time I have read or heard 30 years of Clinton and Bush....Now,
Daddy Bush 4 years
Clinton .........8 years
GW Bush......8 years
___________________
20 years

Can't Americans add anymore or am I missing a Bush or Clinton somewhere?

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION?

YOUR A WOMEN AND YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR HILARY.

BUT DO YOU APPROVE OF HER TREACHEROUS TACTICS, RANGING FROM DISTORTING OBAMAS RECORD, HIRING HER HUSBAND TO DO THE DIRTY WORK, INTRODUCING THE RACE CARD, CRYING TWICE TO GET VOTES, MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF FLORIDA AND NEVADA UNION WORKERS RIGHT TO VOTE ONLY IF IT BENEFITED HER CAMPAIGN?

AS A WOMEN, DOES THIS MAKE YOU PROUD TO SAY THIS IS GOOD ETHICAL BEHAVIOR OR ANOTHER WOMEN THAT YOU SUPPORT?

suppose i offer you a leader that could would respect womens rights, is honourable, and can be trusted to do whats rights and bring the country together?

which is the BETTER CHOICE?

i feel every women honest with herself would choose OBAMA.

an in-depth look at Clinton’s claim that she has brought change to people’s lives for 35 years. “Clinton worked at the Children's Defense Fund for less than a year, and that's the only full-time job in the nonprofit sector she's ever had. She also worked briefly as a law professor.

Clinton spent the bulk of her career — 15 of those 35 years — at one of Arkansas' most prestigious corporate law firms, where she represented big companies and served on corporate boards. Neither she nor her surrogates, however, ever mention that on the campaign trail. Her campaign Web site biography devotes six paragraphs to her pro bono legal work for the poor but sums up the bulk of her experience in one sentence: ‘She also continued her legal career as a partner in a law firm.'”

Clinton did public service work during her time at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock. She served on the board of the Legal Services Corp. during and took on several tasks as the state's first lady. But these were all activities on the margins of her professional life, working as a corporate lawyer, representing corporations.

What is going on... wake up! Republicans are voting in the Democratic primaries and pulling Obama's lever. Why? Because Obama doesn't have the credentials or experience... have you really checked his accomplishments? Wake up! Hillary, like it or not, is a much stronger Democratic candidate and potential president based on credentials, experience, and access. I believe the Republican's strategy is to create a false groundswell if interest in Obama to defeat Hillary before she defeats them in a general election. Please, check out Obama's accomplishments and tell me if you want him running our country.

If Oprah is for him I am against him!

to incredulous, didn't Bill Clinton leave office with an approval rating of over 70%? If so many people hate Bill, why are his approval ratings so high and they're still over 60%. This goes to show how powerful the republican smear machine is, even some so-called Dems are parrotting the same vile lies, the right wing invented. Obama cannot win in Nov. he can't even unite the Democratic party, how can he unite the country. He will be president someday but not in 2009. And if the Obama supporters don't lighten up on their criticism of Hillary and Bill and take it off such a personal note, you will fracture the Democratic party and drive moderates like me out. And I'v worked for theparty since 1968. How long have you been a Dem, incredulous?

Hey "Incredulous" – you may want to google it... JFK had 6 years in the House and then went to the Senate. BHO was elected to the Senate, spent his first year promoting his book and then started his Presidential bid. He is not ready.

I am going to have to take some Pepto to listen to the returns Tuesday evening if Georgia is first! It will be touted as an overwhelming victory for Obama!!! (Someone on another thread said Snoop Dog could have won S. Carolina and could win Georgia the same way). Georgia is not a TYPICAL SCENARIO and once Obama wins it (which most expect) I hope CNN can control their bias and wait for the other states to start coming in.

Why do I get the feeling that most of the people supporting Obama are College kids that wear hoodies with a picture of Oprah on the front?

Hillary '08

Dear Cnn
Now you make up your own version of a poll to support your views.
We have always watched your network..And been proud to do do so.
However it has become very evident you play favorites..
And, are more interested in this election being "sport and drama"
to increase your ratings... more then being interested in reporting news
in a fair way.
It it very clear you simply have no respect for credible
news reporting.
How sad! For all of us who supported you all these years.

It is becoming more and more obvious you hold a disdain for people
who ask questions. instead of maybe listening to our concerns.
It seems to be all about the ratings and your opinions. Railroading
concerns of your loyal viewers.
And as a 50+viewer ...you have shown how much you could care less
about our concerns

sadly we Americans have to deal with people who hold back the progress and tolerance of our nation- ignorant people like Jimmy at 4:57, who think Obama isn't qualified to be president because of his middle name and the fact that his father wasn't there for him as a kid. Sad.

Yeah, that's it Obama lovers, the Republicans are keeping a big book of all of Hillary's secrets. The secrets they didn't use in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2006.....Morons! I think even Mike Gravel could win the White House if nominated for the Dems, but Obama would be a worry in a General Election because of his lack of achievement, gravitas, his stutter and his greenness. He really is a weak candidate and apart from an abiliy to waffle and bloviate, he's got nothing on Hillary. Of course if Obama winds the nomination I think John McCain should be President just to stick it up Oprah and Ted Kennedy.

Vote BO for real change! Learn from SC voters, if we all come out and vote, we will be able to change the color of White House! Don't be deterred by the poll. Just do it, vote for BO!

Vote for Edwards on Super Tuesday. Let the media know the public should decide who should run for President-not the media.

I live in Illinois and voted for Obama to become my state senator. I now regret that I did, because I feel he just took the job to have a crack at the presidency. I don't feel he's done very much for the citizens of Illinois as senator. I hear his talk of change and I think it's empty rhetoric, anybody who gets elected will be changing things. Change is not enough, you need change in a positive direction. When Obama talks of change and then runs to get endorsements from long time politicos, I ask who does he think he is fooling. When he takes money from Exelon or Rezko how is he different from old-time politicians? (I guess giving it to charity after he gets caught, somehow makes it allright.) When he accuses others of playing the race card and how he is the great unifier, yet goes to a church that is reverse racist (tucc.org, see for yourself), how substantially is he different? I am afraid if he gets the Democratic nomination the republicans will chew him up, and we might get stuck with a neo-bush like Romney or involved in a 100-year war with McCain. At least Hillary has already been tried by fire, and she doesn't act like she's the savior of the human race. As a man I admire the strength she has shown.
BTW occasionally my girlfriend eyes might well up with tears, but she's very capable and as strong internally as any man I've ever known.

If and thats a big IF, Obama doesn't win tomorrow, then I rather vote for McCain than Hillary.
Obama – 08

I am very concerned about Democracy in America, our elections are a joke, and as it is we are stuck with real duds to elect , and there is one to whom the media refused to give equal coverage, who is the best of all , he goes by the Constitution and lives it, Ron Paul and there is no question that the media and parties are afraid of him. It appears that we will no doubt be getting more of the same and the American people have no clue. Some do but ........ If a winner pops up tomorrow, I wonder if I will be able to vote in this primary, I am from Ohio and we dont vote until March 4th, oh well that is what democracy is getting to in this country.

Does anyone else 'smell' Clinton plants in the room...?

THANKS BOB FOR PRINTING THE FACTS ABOVE! HILLARY IS AHEAD BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN EARLY VOTING! HOW SWEET IT IS! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH KAY AS WELL IF OBAMA HAD ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT HIMSELF HE WOULDN'T NEED OPRAH TO BACK HIM! HILLARY DOES ALL THIS ON HER OWN! THERE SHOULD BE NO QUESTION WHO WILL WIN! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Hillary would be WAY ahead now if it weren't for the nasty, biased and untrue reporting- like CNNs bogus headline about Hillary crying. She is not just trying to present her platform, but she has to fight against all the people who hate her. Why do they hate her? Either they claim she has no experience- so what are they basing their hate on? Or they feel she is too status quo- which is it? And why the hate. If she has no true experience, then she can NOT BE just more of the same, or even more of the Clinton "legacy". She is SO deserving, that she has many supporters even as the Media and other haters try to smear her. She will rise because truth and intelligence and beauty and virtue ALWAYS will rise. Power to you sister. Carry on. Women like you take the crap so that society can evolve and advance. It is a long walk. Good for you for being willing to take that walk.

In September 2001 the world was on our side.

In 2003 we invaded Iraq and the world said "hold up a minute..."

They were STILL willing to give us the benefit of the doubt that we had a cowboy in the White House and it wasn't our fault.

Then– we re-elected him. The world said boo.

In 2008– we have a chance to heal our relationship with the world overnight. How? Not by continuing a 30 year, two family dynasty of power. We do it by electing a man with multi-cultural, multi-racial, and multi-religious credentials.

Hillary supporters... go ahead and bash me over the head for saying that, but before you do...

Why is everyone so freakin ANGRY?

Can't we all just talk about it?

It's so funny that Obama supporters brush off the prosperity of the 90's (during Clinton Presidency) saying it had nothing to do with President Clinton. It had a lot to do with President Clinton and his economic policies.
I bet if Obama was the Governor of Illinois and if the state was properous during his term, they would be giving Obama all the credit and singing his praises.

Dem08– I couldn't agree with you more that policy views and experience are the best reasons to vote for a candidate. However, all things being equal, you have to look at electability too. Clinton and Obama are VERY similar on policy. I happen to like Obama's healthcare plan better. I like his ideas for how to handle Iraq. I am not basing my decision solely on who can win in November. That being said–without very serious differences in the two candidates, that should surely be considered.

Voted for Bush twice aren't you ashamed?

Not vote for a Novice for the Toughest Job in the World.

Hillary Clinton 2008.

If you are a Republican you need to realize that the ONLY way their will be a Republican in the white house is if Ron Paul wins. It's strictly about numbers, the percentage of people that want an end to this war is overwhelming, and Ron Paul is the only Repulican who will end it...just like the Republicans we're elected to end the vietnam war. RON PAUL is the modern day father of the constitution, he will do away with the income tax to let Americans keep one-third more of our money. The founding fathers never intended a country where the gov't keep a third of our paychecks. Its simply un-American. I am frustrated to death with the media's blackout of the man who has told the truth about this country's situation more than any other candidate. The younger generation does NOT want to inherit 70 TRILLION dollars in U.S debt. We need to worry about ourselves FIRST and formost, and the state of our economy right now is a prime example of how true real this situation! It discusts me how many people fall for these same old talking heads.

PLEASE FIND OUT THE REAL FACTS BEFORE YOU VOTE>>>THE INTERNET IS FAR LESS BIASED AND TRUTHFUL THAN THE MEDIA, WHETHER THEY INTEND TO BE THAT WAY OR NOT

WAKE UP, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RON PAUL 08'

Georgia's Primary is NOT going to show the nations feelings. CNN realizes it IS one of the few states where Obama has a current lead in the polls and a large black following.

As a black man, i find the spin ONCE AGAIN reprehensible.. and I'm SUPPORTING Obama.

CNN is definitely biased.

And California has Clinton ahead by as many as 4 points.. sure it's too close to call but tell the freaking TRUTH.. i truly believe if Obama showed a lead they'd say it was a "widening margin"

this is getting ridiculous and making Obama look bad.

LATEST POLL OUT TODAY MONDAY FEBRUARY 4TH...SURVERY USA POLL

CALIFORNIA CLINTON LEADS BY 12 POINTS

MISSOURI CLINTON LEADS BY 11 POINTS

NEW JERSEY CLINTON LEADS BY 11 POINTS

GO HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its not fair incredulous to try and convince people that Clinton can not win the White House, when their is no evidence that proves she can not, or that Obama can. People need to vote for the person with best policies and experiance. That is Hillary Clinton. NYT article today states that Obama's healthcare plan Will Not Work.

Hillary 08

While a lot of people are writting off Hillary and CNN is reporting selected news, all polls do not show Hillary in trouble. NBC poll actually finds Clinton with a 9 point lead. A new poll today shows Clinton beating McCain in a general election.
The polls are all over the place and no one will no until its over. Clinton still leads the delegate count( if you include pledges Super Delegates).

Its my opinion that Hillary Clinton will prevail in the end because she truly has the best plan and the best experiance to take back this country.

Incredulous 08, very well said. People need to look at the bigger picture of actual ELECTABILITY!!! Hillary will loose because she does not have crossover appeal to the middle or other side of the aisle. Republicans and Independents will not vote for her with vengeance simply because of her last name.

NEWS FLASH:

Former Vice President Al Gore, producer of critcally acclaimed and award winning Oscar movie, 'Inconvenient Truth", a film about global warming, and also winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, is outting together a team to craft an endorsement of Barack Obama.

However, the team is awaiting final orders based on Obama's Super Tuesday performance. If he finishes close enoguh to remain a viable contender against Hillary Clinton, then Gore's team will proceed with an endorsement as early as Wednesday or no later than Friday.

No matter what we think of Gore, the person, just the fact that he was Bill Clinton's VP for eight years makes any endorsement of Obama not only headline news, but a huge slap in the face of Bill!

Twice I saw reference to Barack Obama being the most liberal senator.

I guess if you want to base that on the weighting given by whatever 'authority' issues such rankings...

If you'll notice, in terms of fiscal policy, and use of the military, the Republicans have proven for at least 30 years that they are Extreme Liberals.

Hillary will get destroyed by any Republican candidate. Whether for good reason or not, die-hard Neocons are obsessively anti-Clinton, even considering Bill's infidelity and lying to be worse than Bush's war crimes. They will come out in droves to vote against Hillary.

Besides, Barack Obama has already proven he is far superior in the area of diplomacy than Hillary Clinton could ever hope to be. Obama speaks succintly and intelligently, and has charisma. Hillary breaks down in tears or in mini fits of suppressed anger, and rather than charisma, exhibits a brooding, unwelcoming personality.

As a fiscal-conservative Democrat, I will abstain from voting should Clinton get the Democrat nomination. And God help us if she manages to get elected and force her 'Enrich the Insurance Companies Through Forced Purchase of Their Policies' "Healthcare Reform" upon us.

Regulate...don't Socialize.

Megan–My reply didn't go through, so this will be shorter... I grew up in the South. Believe me, there were plenty of people who didn't like the Clintons in the 90's. Regarding research... It sounds like you're getting yours from Hillary's website. Candidate webpages are LESS reliable than news sites! Please refer to my earlier comments. To do actual research you can NOT go to partisan blogs, news sites, candidate pages, or watch TV. Look into the ACTUAL record. Find out what neutral people have to say about specific bills, motions, etc. Go to governmental websites. Outright lies on those are felonious. I did my research, now you do yours... Look into the mechanism of Illinois state politics. Find out what it means to vote present in that state. Sometimes it is necessary to continue negotiations to fix specific articles of legislation. Saying "showing up and not voting for things" makes it look like your information comes directly from a pretty biased source. And... I have already said, I respect your opinion, why is it so hard to respect mine? I remember Hillary's work on healthcare. What was the result? HMOs. The CEO of United Healthcare made 1.7 BILLION dollars last year. That was HIS paycheck. Speaking of paychecks, I don't want my health insurance taken directly out of mine by the feds. I want to be able to cover myself under a fair policy. Please, argue for Hillary, I'll respect your position, but don't use healthcare as her shining achievement! It shows, if anything, that she could NOT get something done! Peace.

I voted for Bush twice and never felt there was a Democratic I can believe in as I do for Obama. I can't see myself voting for the Clintons, they brought disgrace to our Country and I don't trust them. Billy and Hilly need to retire and let Obama bring the change we need in the USA.
******Barack Obama 08******

I just read the article on Orpah speaking in Ca. Seems all women have lost their minds and are consumed by guilt if we do not vote for Hillary. Oprah is not only insulting the women in this country she is trying to corner us like animals in a corral to vote for a man who has no substance. I am not voting for Hillary because she is a woman. I am voting for her because she is the best candidate. The media is not showing Obama's true colors. He and his wife have no character. They rant and rave – we can't have that can of imagine protraying our country. Get real – choose right. Clinton 08

Let's see how they will paint this national election: Who are you going to support? John McCain, who has been in the senate all these years; POW in Vietnam (and a tough SOB when he was there, by the way...), from a family of Naval heroes or Barack Hussein Obama, the kid who's father pulled the old 'dump em' when he was a toddler? If you think the people of the USA, who voted in Ronald Regan and George Bush Sr. and, worse, George Bush Jr (TWICE) are going to vote for Barack Hussein Obama because he is "going to change Washington and bring all folks together, White, Black, Latino, Asian, Democrat, Republican", you have to have more than one screw loose...

Hillary Clinton has been for change and has worked demonstrably hard at getting there: nibbling, bit by bit, with perseverence and determination, voting carefully on EVERYTHING with the national election of 2008 in mind. Along comes Obama and says, "Hey, I have an idea, let's change the way we do business..." and people like Oprah are jumping on board. How utterly ridiculous.

Hillary is well connected, has worked tirelessly within the system – she stands a shot at doing this. Obama will not even get the 3 electoral votes McGovern got in 1972.

CAUTION – CAUTION – CAUTION: Ralph Nader is not ruling out a run in 2008...the 3,500 dead US Soldiers in Iraq can thank him for the last time...remember, people are going to vote for him and be siphoned off the Democratic candidates...

Support Hillary – she's our ONLY chance....

HISPANIC WOMAN – VOTE HILLARY. HISPANICS ARE FOR HILLARY. AT LEAST THE ONES WHO HAVE ENOUGH SENSE.

QUOTE FROM NEWS ARTICLE:

"During the roundtable discussion at Yale University, Clinton became TEARY EYED - a moment that harkened back to her much talked-about display of emotion on the EVE of the NEW HAMPSHIRE primary"

NOW WE ARE AT THE EVE OF SUPER TUESDAY.

CLINTON TEARY EYED AGAIN. WHEN IS THIS NONSENSE GOING TO STOP? DOES SHE THINK PEOLPE SHOULD VOTE FOR HER BECAUSE OF HER EMOTIONAL MOMENTS?

THINK ABOUT IT, THE FIRST TIME MAYBE WE BELIEVED HER, IT BECOMES CLEAR IT IS A POLITICAL TACTIC, NOT REAL TEARS. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CLINTONS DISHONESTY AND TREACHERY TO WIN AT ALL COSTS.

THE CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT IS CLEAR, WE WANT A PRESIDENT WHO DOES NOT RESORT TO THIS KIND OF SILLY DECEIT TO GET ELECTED!!!!

***Ron Paul for President***

If you plan on voting for anyone other than Ron Paul, you have not done your homework. Please read up on your cadidates past and their current issues. Recognize scandals they have been involved with, McCain = Keating Five, Hillary = World Federalists !!!!

Please read up on them!!!!!

Vote New Jersey'08.
What fresh new ideas does Obama have? Until a month or 2 ago the majority of his supporters were rich, don't be fooled by his boyish charm. ALL politicians have to lie, it is part of the game. Let their record and their ideas stand, not just catchy slogans and a winning smile. It takes more to create change than good speeches and mud slinging.

Barack CAN'T get 270 in Nov. Remember it's ALL about the electoral college NOT! the popular vote. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN,

Kat,
All the things you mentioned happened since Bush came into office. Don't you think it is more important to keep the Republicans out of the White House?

CNN- Fred Thompson got 4 VOTES, yet your article on this race stated that he got 4 PERCENT! Quite a discrepancy, don't you think!? What the hell, don't you people over in Ted Turner land proofread? News FLASH: The paper in Arlington, VA stated today (Mon. the 4th) that RON PAUL got a convincing SECOND place in Maine with 35%, beating golden boy McCain who had 12%. I don't see that on the 'ol TICKER! Instead CNN reports on the REALLY IMPORTANT NEWS: Hillary bawls on cue, women will vote Hillary, Obama is still black, and Franken-Dole writes a letter to Rush Pillpopper. Oh, and the front page of CNN- "Top GOP Contenders fight it out," with Huck, Mitt, and Mc's pictures- no image of Ron Paul DESPITE the fact he's had more popular votes than the Huck so far in this race. CNN- you're a bunch of fascists! Watch the old movie NETWORK and you'll understand what's going on here. 'Tis a sad day that REAL news is posted by common folk in these 'comment' sections of your site, rather than by your so-called "journalists." Do what you will CNN- the REVOLUTION doesn't end with Ron Paul, it's only just begun.

I am a republican conservative woman!
I will vote for Obama if John McCain is the GOP nominee!
I may not agree with his policy 100% but I am less frightened by him.
He will do what's best for the country!
John McCain is a joke!!!

To Megan: I didn't like the Clinton's but then it doesn't matter. I can say that yes people were doing fine then, but not because of who was president. It is because the cost of living was not as high. Plain and simple salaries have not increased with the cost of living but taxes have and always will. Which is why income tax should be eliminated and a fair national sales tax should be enforced. If companies cannot increase salaries then the government should not be able to continue breaking people of their hard earned money. At least with a sales tax we have a choice. I can think of plenty of things that came out of the clinton administration that have caused more lack of freedom than anything else. So no I really do not want a clinton again.

From Rosanne's Blog

Obama's campaign has received $230K in contributions from Excelion Nuclear Power Company. What did they get in return for that money? In 2005 Obama voted for Dick Cheney's secret energy bill, which was drafted by industry insiders, even Enron helped. Clinton voted against it because it was widely viewed as another huge corporate give away and it was drafted in secret. Obama voted for it. Next see New York Times about Obama's bill which he changed from having nuclear leak reporting being mandatory to being voluntary. He made the bill weaker in favor of corporations – like Excelsion. I guess they got what they paid $230K for. Also, David Axelrod Obama's campaign manager was a consultant for Excelsion. He is the fake agent of Change!! His actions speak louder than his words. Check it out for yourself. This should be a huge story. The man of CHANGE is really all about WASHINGTON Pay to play!! he is the number of receiver of funds from the pharmaceutical companies too...he did vote against the war though, before he voted to fund it again and again.

Everyone....please keep in mind when you go to the voting polls tomorrow that we are going to take back Washington....We are voting to get rid of all of the old with the intent in bringing in the new in November....Also, please do not be a victim to the Hilary (New Hampshire) tear factor....we need a President that will be able to stand up to those bullies in Washington and not choke up and start crying....we need Change with fresh new ideas and fresh new visions for hope and a new tomorrow!!!

Obama '08

i hope OBAMA WINS!! iF NOT THAN hILLARY. i do not want a republican in the
white house. mitt was my governor. he dug us deeper into a hole with the big
dig. he doesn't know hiss head from his elbow. McCain is all about war.
boston,ma

Incredulous in 08-
Why would republicans vote for the most liberal senator? Who says the Clinton's were hated in the 90s? I am not a hard core democrate and neither are any of the people I hang out with and most of them were doing well in the 90s. Where do you get your "research'? News websites love Obama and the Republicans, it's hard to find positive things about the Clintons on those, so that's probably where YOU get your information. I challenge you to practice what you preach read up on Hillary, read her proposals, for Heath Care that she has been fighting for since the 90s, read her Energy proposal, read her Economic proposals. She doesn't just talk about change, she intends to make it happen. How can someone create change without ideas and by only showing up not voting for things?
HILLARY 08!!!

Just some clippings debunking some of Hillary's "experience" and "electibility":

Clinton worked at the Children's Defense Fund for less than a year, and that's the only full-time job in the nonprofit sector she's ever had. She also worked briefly as a law professor.

Clinton spent the bulk of her career — 15 of those 35 years — at one of Arkansas' most prestigious corporate law firms, where she represented big companies and served on corporate boards.
---------------
Yesterday’s Washington Post/ABC poll had McCain beating Clinton, 49%-46%, yet Obama beating McCain, 49%-46%. And according to a new Cook Political Report/RT Strategies poll, McCain leads Clinton, 45%-41%, while Obama beats McCain 45%-43%.

It's the economy for all you misinformed and johnny mc is economically ignorant.
another bad day on wall street
romney for economic and responsible immigration..

You have to stand for something:

* I stand for economic growth
* I stand for health care
* I stand for national security
* I stand for American Unity
* I stand for Global Unity
* Most importantly I stand for strong LEADERSHIP

Military Donors Back Ron Paul & Obama
February 04, 2008 3:19 PM

The Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign cash, looks at the 2007 money-raising and finds the following:
In 2007, the 2008 presidential candidates raised $582.5 million and spent $481.2 million.
War opponent Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, received the most from donors in the military, collecting at least $212,000 from them. Another war opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, was second with about $94,000.

To everyone who keeps pounding on Obama because he does not have enough "experience," my response is three letters long: J. F. K.

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – While most reports about this past weekend’s Maine Caucus focused on the purely symbolic presidential preference poll, in the meaningful race to secure delegates to the state convention Ron Paul is primed to finish second with likely 35 percent of the total delegates.

Delegates to the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis are elected by the state delegates. Internal results from 10 of 16 counties, including the largest cities of Portland, South Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Augusta, Waterville, Bangor, and Brewer, show Ron Paul picking up 215 of 608 State Convention delegates so far reported, or 35%.

“Ron Paul’s strong second place finish in Maine, in which he beat John McCain, is proof that this race is far from over,” said Ron Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. “We’ll continue to battle for every delegate in this wide-open race for the Republican nomination.”

In the presidential preference poll, with 70 percent reporting, Ron Paul is in third place just two percentage points behind John McCain. However, the Maine preference poll is purely a beauty contest, and in the actual election of state delegates the so-called “frontrunner” McCain is far behind Ron Paul.

Ooooo exciting.
Already cast my balot absetee here in Cali.

In the general elections, however, there is only ONE candidate I can NOT vote for.

I will not hire a novice for the toughest job on the planet. NEVER

There is some information available about the candidates on the Advanced Google book search. Click the full view to read all of what each candiadate stated.

I agree !!! Alex, VA
I am from VA, but living in San Francisco for 10 years now.
The latest poll out today in CA shows Hillary 45% and Obama 36%.
I am not completely against Obama, but there is so much more to being President of the United States than being an inspirational speaker.
Yes, we all want change, but what we need now is EXPERIENCE and TOUGHNESS!! For me Obama is already in the hands of the OLD Washington puppeteers.
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for God's sake, if Hillary does win the nomination, how can so many of you say you would really rather vote Republican than for her?! Where is all of that Democratic Party inspiration and uniter attitude that Obama has so inspired in you? Do you think he would be happy with you to NOT vote Democratic if the choice is Hillary? Do you think Obama will vote Republican? He did nothing but praise Hillary and her experience and qualifications in the debate last week. Regardless of who wins – we need a Democrat in office.

""""'**************************************************************************************
OBAMA WAS GETTING SYMPATHY WHEN HE SAID THAT HE WAS RUNNING AGAINST TWO CLINTONS…..

NOW OBAMA IS GETTING SUPPORT FROM LEADING DEMOCRATS; POWERFUL UNIONS , MOST OF THE MEDIA AND STILL MRS HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT COMPLAINING…

HILLARY IS A TRUE LEADER::
HILLARY 08.
*********************************************************************************

Hillary 08

We Republicans do not want illegals to have driver's licenses nor do we want an AFROOOOOO anything in our White House!

BTW: I'm a REPUBLICAN and I would vote for Obama!!!

OBAMA 08'

Alex, you have a right to your opinions and I respect them, but I have to disagree. As far as the number, I actually saw "more than half of Americans state, etc." but toned it down because I was skeptical the number was that big as well. But seriously... Do you not remember how much people hated the Clintons in the 90s? Do you think that has gone away? I'm not talking about hardcore Dems, just in general. Which is the point... the General Election. And when it comes to fuzzy numbers, where in the WORLD did you come up with republicans being more likely to vote for Hillary than for McCain?!?! I'd love to see those "numbers." Ann Coulter does not (though she'd like to think differently) represent the Republican party. Again, when it comes to records... Hillary is the one who backs off, rolls over, and gives in to Repubs if there's going to be a real fight. Not to mention how she treats her constituents... Again, I respect your right to your opinions, I just think they are terribly misinformed. PLEASE do some more research. NOT on partisan blogs, NOT on news websites, and NOT on TV, do some REAL research into what each of them have actually said and DONE before you pull the lever. That's all I ask.

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008

I wouldn't vote for Hillary. But if she is the runner for the democrats, and McCain, Romney OR Huckabee are the runner for the republicans. Then I will either not vote or write in a vote for Ron Paul. On the other hand if Obama was the front runner with one of those 3 I would vote for obama. Either way we end up with a democrat presidency. Which to say the very least is bad. Because Democrats always think we have to save the world with our hard earned money. If we had our hard earned money we wouldn't need saving now would we?

Ron Paul for President.

Incredulous..."They do not have a playbook on Obama because they weren’t paying attention to him until a month ago and there aren’t any scandals there to attack him on."

BUT, if Obama does win and goes against McCain, they'll POUND him for being a novice. He cannot stand up to the pressure and cannot fight back. Hillary can and is the only one who CAN win in November.

Think about who is the best general election candidate. Obama has a proven record of getting more moderates, Republicans and first time voters. Pick a winner. Pick Obama!

Hillary will win in November. There is nothing else they can do to her but repeat the same things they have over the last several years. Obama, on the other hand will be easy to beat. Soft on Nation defense; Rezko land deal for his home; his all black only church; his non voting record in the U.S. Senate; his nuclear power stance; his 'present' votes in Illinois; his drug use based on his own book; his being the most liberal Senator; and god knows what else they will throw at him.

McCain will look like the Statesman, Obama will look like the baby with his inexperience in National Poltics shining even greater as compared to McCain.
Hope, change, fired up, ready to go, and ready for change will not mean anything other than what they are, slogans. Obama can not win no matter what the polls today show since polls are only a snapshot and not a fact.

Incredulous, I have to disagree with your analysis. Hillary's dirty laundry has already been aired while we have no idea what's in Obama's closet. Already the NY Times and the Chicago Tribune have come out with stories about him taking special interest money, despite all his claims to the contrary. And if you look at nationwide polls Hillary still beats McCain, and Obama still doesn't. Hillary has a lot of popular support, I don't know where you're getting this 40-50 number but it's completely inaccurate. Beyond all that I take issue with Obama's big uniter claims. He may want everyone to agree with him, but that doesn't mean they will. The numbers show that republicans are even less likely to vote for him than for Hillary, and if you look at his congressional record, being a uniter has usually meant watering down his legislation to the point of being absolutely ineffective. I want a candidate who will fight the tough fights not just the ones that look good in headlines, that's why I'm voting Hillary '08.

Obama doesn't have his own ideas. He isn't ready to lead. Obama cannot unite people by throwing mud all the time.
The republicans are terrified about Hillary getting the nomination they have nothing left to say about her that hasn't already been said.
Expect them to hit Obama HARD if he gets the nomination. His middle name will be used all the time, his life's history will be open like it never has before. The republicans want Obama to be the nominee becuase they know they can beat him.

Ron Paul for president

1. Supports restoring the constitution and eliminating income tax
2. Supports National Fair Sales Tax (Yes I know that would make some states have higher sales tax than others due to some states have sales tax. But it is still better than having your hard earned money stolen from you before you even get it. But it is still better than having your hard earned money stolen from you before you even get it. At least you have a choice.)
3. Please just do your research on ALL the candidates rather than paying attention to any of the news channels. They have barely shown you anything at all of Ron Paul and have only shown you what they want you to see of the others. ronpaul2008.com

Everyone please keep this in mind when you vote tomorrow: The MOST important thing is to win the White House in November. Obama can do that. Hillary CAN NOT. The Republicans have a huge playbook of scandals and dirty politics that they are waiting to unleash the DAY she gets nominated. They do not have a playbook on Obama because they weren’t paying attention to him until a month ago and there aren’t any scandals there to attack him on. Also—right or wrong, 40-50 percent of Americans will vote AGAINST Hillary in November regardless of who the other nominee is. She will also cause a conservative backlash that will lose CONGRESS back to the Republicans. This will keep anything from getting done in Washington anyway. I’m so tired of seeing Democrats lose elections because of bad decisions. Let’s change that… Above all, we need to take back the White House! OBAMA can do this! OBAMA CAN UNITE THIS COUNTRY! Please keep November in mind when you vote tomorrow. I’m not saying it is fair to her, I’m saying it is what it is. She won’t win in the General. OBAMA WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER.
