And no, i'm not buying into the hype that obama cultists spew. Don't misunderstand, I like and agree with obama's ideas and dreams, however idealistic rhetoric means nothing to me. As a realist and a pragmatist, at least i understand that ideals don't change reality ex. Bush. Spreading democracy anyone?. HIllary Clinton understands the realities, and change with bi-partisanship is never easy as orating a pre-written scripted immediate demand for change. Ah yes..of course the republican spin machine is simply going to fall over for the saintness of obama. I still remember the swiftboating and "flip-flopping" kerry against a draft-dodging and war mongering candidate that should've lost by double digits. A anti-war vietnam veteran and a purple heart recipient...thats as patriotic as u can get. Kerry failed to get tough, which i see also in Obama. Of course its understandable that the "youth" should be behind such a "cool" canidate. Understandable as I am also part of the mtv generation, Where obviously style is valued over substance. It peeves me greatly as this country's reputation and status is at stake. Particulary, when i ask many of my peers why they support obama, they say change,i ask what change? they respond with again change. What constitutes as change?How is he different from Hillary in healthcare or the economy?Then they start ranting and attacking hillary on personality, dynasty, evil politicians etc, Stuff that has nothing to do with her qualifications as commander in chief. I have also never seen such blatant bias in the MSM against such a qualitfied candidate that has actual substance and experience. Note to hillary-haters and obama cultists: perhaps it would do better for your cause if you would prefer to enlighten us about the specifics of obama's qualifications, policies etc and how they are better than hillary's.then maybe just attacking hillary and spouting conspiracy theories about how corrupt and racist the clintons are.just a suggestion.

How long will get Obama there and how? If the medical insurance is not mandatory, how much difference it will be from now? It is off track of Democ’s mission. What Republicans held to against him is a mystery since he had never been an effective contender in the past. I am more concerned of his connection with Louis Farrakhan. What else?

Does the biased CNN and Bill Schneider ever feel the shame of the egg on its face? Are you in a denial mode or something? Why would you just not accept Sen Clinton's win over Sen Obama? Are you sexists that you would not accept a woman winning over a man?

Grow up CNN, grow up Schneider!!

You cannot get a media's darling to be the next President of the USA. Americans have a mind of their own.

Learn a lesson from the egg on your face, else you'd be the next to face people's ire,

I dare CNN to publish this post. Lets see if they're man enough to read their own criticism.

His speeches make broad "wonderful" statements but where's the substance? How does he plan to unite all Americans when his campaign was so heavily grounded in appealing to the African American community in the inner cities and deep South? The man just does not come across as being practical or worst still, smacks of insincerity. If there was an African American personlaity that I could have voted for , Collin Powell would have fitted the bill better as a man who spoke his conscience in admitting the mistakes on his speech to the UN. Obama is conveniently absent from having to make all those tough calls. Some people want change at all cost but some changes can be for the worse. We have already lost almost 8 years to the Bush administration, but going for another greenhorn in the Oval office does not make things right.

Tracy Flick is an overachiever. She is smart, brilliant, and ambitious, but cold, ruthless and manipulative and running for school president. Matthew Broderick (her teacher) cannot stand her so he persuades a less smarter but more popular jock everyone likes and who is basically an overall good guy (similar to Obama) to run against her. Tracy does her opponent in, then slowly drives Matthew Broderick, the voice of conscience, into ruin.

It was always a factor in politics. In 230 some odd years there's never been a racial minority, female, or combination of both so close to receiving a US Presidential nomination. Were there never any that could do the job? Of course there were but bigotry and prejudice held them back. White males and white women have been keeping white males in the most powerful positions of political office since this country began and only now, after re-electing the worst President in our history and allowing this country to crumble, are they desperate enough to consider the possibility of giving someone "different" a chance. I am black and since gaining the right to vote over 20 years ago I have always done so for one white male or another for President. Racial minorities have demonstrated our willingness to cast our votes for people who don't look like us. Black people helped carry Bill Clinton in office with over 80% of our vote. Black women afforded Hillary and many other white women the opportunity to sit with the most powerful leader in the free world as his First Lady - a title no black woman has worn. Black people voted overwhelmingly for Gore and Kerry. It was not us who dropped the ball and allowed Bush a 2nd term. This time its the majorities turn to us show that they can vote for people who don't look like themselves or aren't the same sex as themselves. As a black woman I say that I've already proven myself and done my part. I like Obama's message. I think he can be a voice of reason in this troubled world. I think he can do the job well with the right advisors as every President needs. I trust that he's got black people's best interest at heart as well as the rest of America and I have never had that comfort. I'm not going to feel guilty about voting on that basis alone.

No sooner did cnn call Clinton the winner of California that the pundits were spinning that she'll have some problem related to dollars to fund her campaign. Can you let us ride the high and not rush to go "there"? If it was Obama who they were discussing we'd hear about how great and filled his pockets are.

I have no worries about her funding– all interested parties, lets back her, go to HillaryClinton.com

In 8 years he will win and be really ready. I haven't heard him say much of anything specific and John McCain and the republicans will tear him a new one I'm afraid.

Listen to Obama during the DEBATE, NOT the speeches. His speeches are prewritten and nothing more than motivational. But you see in his debate how he never answers the tough questions. February 5, 2008 11:58 pm ET One of the comments here was saying Obama was just so holy because he doesn't deal with lobbyists. Was that commentator aware that the silver tongued serpent of Hyde Park makes extensive use of them as campaign advisors? He refuses to discuss that with the press–but then again, he stiff-arms the press…even those segments of the press that fawn all over him. He is not the Christ-like figure some here are making him out to be. He's as phony as most other politicians–he just fools you because he strings words together well. Maybe he'll get the nomination, and maybe he'll get elected in November, but all you "change" folks better remember one crucial point….be very careful in making requests, because in the end, you will get what you asked for, but not in the way YOU intended….I smell Jimmy Carter more than I smell Bobby Kennedy (BTW–happen to notice who Bobby Kennedy's offspring decided to endorse…just a thought).

That will not bode well in the general election. I seriously doubt that she can attract independents like she does the Democratic base, and she certainly will not pull many Republican votes. If we want a Democrat in the White House, Obama is the only sure winner. The thing that bothers me about Hillary is that people seem to either love her or hate her.

If your party majority wants her, then you should accept the majority rule of vote, and give the White House to the Dems. The House and Senate NEED a Democratic White House to get things done in this country!! Don't be too sure that Republicans won't vote for Hillary after what their party did to America the last 8 years.
