1. Obama doesn't accept money from lobbyists, PACs, and special interest groups, while much of Hillary's campaign is funded by these organizations.

This is a FACT, but Hillary supporters don't want to believe it so they block it out. Just do your research, be civil and call it like it is. If you still like her, great, but why lie to yourself about the facts?

2. Hillary is a "uniter". Really?.

Guys, Hillary is a brilliant woman who continues to impress me with her intellect. However, you can't discount the fact that her unfavorable rating is 47%, while Obama's is hovering around 24%. As brilliant as she is, the Republican base can't stand this woman. It is what it is. Now, how do WE counter? That is the question we have to ask, instead of trying to "convince and spin" ourselves into believing the contrary.

Frankly, they BOTH have weaknesses. If you don't believe that, you're kidding yourself! And they are fabulous candidates, BOTH of them - who need each other. Yep, I said it. They need each other.

I just hope they BOTH keep their promises when one gets into the White House.

Every election there is a primary, and there is a chance that one of the parties could nominate a person who will change the direction – and appeal – of the party.

The republicans – predictably – rejected Paul, who is their potential change agent.

The Democrats still have a shot at electing Obama.

If the dems choose Hillary than November will be a side-note. Two insiders will battle it out in a viscous negative campaign and one of them will win and move on to 4 years of endless partisan fighting and stalling... or, the democrats could change and be a different party that moves forward for a time before getting bogged down again.

If it's just a question of old Washington crones and their respective cronies than November would really mean next to nothing... but if we choose a new direction...
This could be a turning point in American history.

The primary is a MUCH bigger deal than November.

I have a request-will someone please ask Hillery, since she refuses (perhaps, as she should) to apologize for her vote for war in Iraq, is she "proud" of her vote for that war? It felt so calculating, politically, that she voted for it...she needs to be asked that question and she needs to answer, directly, if she is proud- because,she deflects and refuses to answer the other question. She wants the power without being held accountable for the cost of her integrity. "Hillary, are you proud of your vote?"

And, Bill, I/we loved you for your 8 years of your presidency. We suffered with you through your lack of disipline and supported you through "that awful time" of impeachment. Can we trust you to not follow your selfish, undisplined, entitled self? Can we? I think not. Hillery and you have the marriage that you both have every right to have-but, I do not want it imposed on us this time around. Enough already.

I am for Senator "Hope"...

In addition to this first-hand experience, I am hearing stories about college students – a very large percentage of them – having to vote provisionally due to some error with the registrar’s office. It is imperative in this day and age that our civil liberties not be trampled on and that our votes, ALL of our votes, are counted legitimately and properly. That is, after all, what being American is about. Those people who took the time out of their day to contribute what they rightfully can and should to the betterment of this nation should not be denied their voice. If you have the resources, I beg you to please investigate these events, and expose any possible fraud that may have been perpetrated on these voters.

Thank you for this lovey narrative poem; a fresh view on the campaign trail.

It's your choice to vote for whomever you want, but I want to point out that you're dead wrong about Obama's lack of support for Latinos.

And by the way, each of us is responsible for our own attitudes – race or otherwise.

Many of the young people voting now were too young to know the real meaning of the clinton years. however, because they were so good economically their parents probably bought them all kinds of toys. Now, people cant even buy a house or clothes or food or gas.

I say Vote for Hillary for now then let Obama step in in 8 years – you young people should talk to your parents and grandparents before you go electing someone who is not ready – Man, these are bad bad days for American – we need someone who has been there and done that already .

Hillary THEN Obama in 8

while yes, both candidates are very viable, and very capable, we need to leave the personal attacks off this wall, and keep it educated and civil.

We also need to look at the bigger picture, who can win in the general elections. If we do not want another 8 years, of Bush like policies and rule, please let's take a good look at Obama. He has a GREAT chance of defeating McCain.

Just like african american would not vote for Hilary now, So if you want McCain vote for obama.

GO HILARY!!!

The youth of this country rallied in 72 too and when McCarthy lost , they took their ball and went home. Let's not hope the parallels of Obama to JFK AND MLK
end there and not play out to the ends that they both sharedwere shot. I hope America has come farther along since then. I believe we have.

Obama is a gifted man. No matter who wins Obama or Clinton America will be far better off than with the Texas/Saudi Royalty we have had run this country into the ground.

America will prevail once again. I pray we all look into our hearts and see the future
is ours not anyone else's.

Only Hillary is able to clean Washington of the lobbyists.

Well, this speaks volumes about the educational level of the Hillary voters!!! These are the SAME groups of people who keep saying that all Obama talks about is "change" with no specifics. Although they have, hopefully, watched Obama beat Clinton in a debate that focused on ISSUES, not experience they still do not get ot!!!

Wake up American, do not drive the Independents and Moderate Republicans BACK to the camp of the Republicans by making Hillary the nominee!!! Wise up, educate yourself, purge yourself of racial/gender lines, and think about the VIRTUES of this nation. This is about changing the directions of Washington, old-politics, the nation, and the WORLD. Unfortunately, the Clintons had had their turn and they blew it. They left the White House in total disgrace and should take RESPONSIBILITY for GWB being president for 8 years!!!!

Yes, you're right, we still have a long way to go but the Obama supporters and most Americans are strong and will eventually elect someone with a solid stance on the issues.

Sincerely,
An educated Obama '08 supporter

P.S. For the folks who like to talk about 'fluff' comments with "no substance" - don't penalize the guy because he injects hope. Just go to his website and look at his DETAILED PLANS for Iraq, Healthcare, the Economy, immigration, and other issues that matter.

THEY FEEL SAFE WITH HISTORY VS TRUTH, DOING THINGS THE LEGAL AND RIGHT WAY, THAT'T THE CHANGE I THINK OBAMA OFFERS AND WE'RE SO USE TO SELFISH, DICTATING RULE THAT ANYTHING ELSE SCARES AMERICA, KINDA LIKE AN ABUSED CHILD THAT'S SO USE TO BEING ABUSED UNTIL THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW THE LIMITS ON HOW THEY SHOULDN'T BE TREATED BECAUSE THEY'RE USE TO THE ABUSE AND CONTENT WITH IT. IN THE END WHO'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE PRESSURE AND NOT FOLD UNDER PRESSURE W/ EMOTION, WHO CAN NEGOITIATE FOR US BACK INTO A PRODUCTIVE STATUS, WHO WILL KEEP THE PEOPLE IN THE LOOP ON THEY'RE EVERY MOVE IN THE WHITEHOUSE?

LOOK WHERE EXPERIENCE HAS GOTTEN US. LOOK WHERE FAMILIARITY HAS GOTTEN US. THE IMMIGRANTS SURELY WON'T GET FAIRNESS JUST AS LOWER INCOME PERSONS HAVE NOT IN CENTURIES. THEY WERE GIVEN A GOOD SPEECH AND PROMISES BUT THEY'RE ALL STILL SEARCHING FOR AN REAL ANSWER TO THE INQUIRING MINDS AS TO HOW DO YOU GET PAST THE "STAND STILL" STATUS THAT HASN 'T JUST COME INTO EFFECT IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. WE GO RIGHT BACK TO MEDIA PROMISES THAT WILL NOT BE ACCOUNTEDF FOR IF THE "CLINTONS" WIN PRESIDENCY. THEY HAVE PERSONAL AGENDAS NOT A PEOPLES AGENDA AS BARACK OBAMA DOES. WILL THE FAMILY VALUES BE APPRECIATED AND HEARD? WILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BE KEPT IN THE LOOP WITH WHAT GOES ON BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS? DO WE WANT THE OLD SOUTH OR A UP AND COMING INTELLIGENT WAY OF LIVING?

ANGIE FI

The guy can't win the electoral college. A vote for him is a vote for the Republicans.

but he is honest. McCain and Hillary are corrupt Washington

insiders owned by big money lobbyists.

will get rid of the alien problem by legalizing

them all. That bankrupts the county and ensures

cheap labor is the future for American working

people. Guns will be outlawed. Socialism will

rule and the country will become a 3rd world nation.
