So should we take this as a sign of who is the clear leader for the Democratic Party, but no matter who gets the nominee I really would love to see Obama and Clinton on the same ticket.

It is important we remember the lessons of NH, and for the obama camp to not rest on yet-to-be cemented laurels. Hillary is (unfortunately) still very much in the race. I think it is crucial for Obama to set the tone of how many debates they have, and to put in more efficient performances. While effective as a stump speech, his message of "change" sounds regurgitated in, and has become, stale in a debate forums.For the life of me, I can't understand why he consistently fails to highlight his days as a community organizer (to attract lower income democrats into his pool). One debate a week is an excessive request that should not be granted. If Hillary had the momentum she would not agree to any such deal. Sent a donation to the obama campaign today!

Here's why. Hillary campaign has started with the promise to defeat Republicans, many other fat and false promises, and the statement about her experience. I don’t need Clinton’s “experience” in Washington politics with “remarkable” results in Health Care Reform. In contrast, Obama's way is to unite us all, to solve our common problems as a nation. I like that approach: we don't need to defeat each other based on our differences (as suggested by Hillary), but we need to unite and solve our problems together. We can't afford to go back to 90-ies with Hillary and with the same old Washington where politicians like Clintons are all about their money and careers. We need to go forward united and make Washington work for us, the people of this country. By the way: no President can be the best expert on everything, that’s why they hire advisers.

What exactly everyone expects to see happen other from what Hillary proposes or is capable to deliver? How do you see him 'revolutionize' the future? Obama only says things people want to hear and all the gallable people listen and dream as if they held a lottery ticket in their pocket before their bubble burts. Unfortunately all the 'youth' does not yet have enough life experience to see how things work in Washington. Anyway, if Obama wins, you'll have to suffer consequences later, far longer than the older generation. America desperately needs a healthcare overhaul; "he" won't make it happen (he says he'll make it affordable for every American.... HOW?). We are yet to hear what in fact he proposes to do and make things happen. It's like at a job interview. Some people are good speakers but that's all they can deliver. So really think who you vote for. It's far smarter to go with experience and with the sure and tested instead of a "trial by error". GO HILLARY!!! To all Obama supporters:

February 7, 2008 5:11 am ET In the Media's eyes, Clinton will never do right. Obama will always be a prince. If it were Clinton getting Oprah, and all the celebrities, the press would spin it to be a celebrity campaign. I agree that the Media is being very unfair to not only Clinton but to Huckabee and Ron Paul as well. I noticed Jack Nicholson endorsed Hillary, but there was no mention of it. I noticed many other establishments, and celebrities have endorsed her yet the only coverage that gets attention is that Maria Schriver added to the Obama team. When you got backers like Oprah and Kennedy's it is not too hard to raise a big sum of money. Funny how it was only briefly mentioned that Obama DOES in fact take money from the very people he complains about, he just does it once removed so it is not direct. That is sneaky and underhanded and dishonest… and you want him to be president? WOW !! I think its time the press starts running fair coverage and positive/negative coverage equally. And I think its time that Americans start thinking for themselves, rather than allowing the news media and big names like Oprah influence your decisions. I think it is offensive to many people like ME who ARE very educated and DO make above average incomes, and say all her supporters are stupid and poor. I would be even MORE offended if I WAS one of the uneducated one and low income. is that NOT who these candidates are trying to better the lives of? And if THEY are the ones voting for her, that tells you something. Maybe SHE IS the candidate to make the changes needed. I hope Edwards endorses her. Maybe when Obama decides to actually put some substance to his case, rather than just saying I was right about Iraq, he would be more appealing. Does it NOT concern anyone that he said he needs to win because he will be "right" on day one, (basically saying he, I'm perfect, and am never wrong) but at the last debate said he doesn't want yes men around him because he won't always be right? so he got lucky on ONE topic, if he admits he won't always be right in the end, then how can that be his case for winning?

Both he and HIllary are smart and well-informed and want to help people, but Obama is less arrogant, and what Washington needs to make progress is people who can work with others they may not see eye to eye with, rather than people who are insulting and condescending to those they disagree with (e.g., how can Hillary be successful as president when she uses the word "republican" with as much disdain as she sometimes does?). Regarding the $5 million loan, even though it might ultimately give her a tax advantage, wouldn't Hillary be more believable if she donated the money to her cause, rather than loaned it? She certainly could afford it, and it would be less hypocritical, since other contributors don't expect their money to be returned.

I noticed many other establishments, and celebrities have endorsed her yet the only coverage that gets attention is that Maria Schriver added to the Obama team.

I think it is offensive to many people like ME who ARE very educated and DO make above average incomes, and say all her supporters are stupid and poor. I would be even MORE offended if I WAS one of the uneducated one and low income. is that NOT who these candidates are trying to better the lives of? And if THEY are the ones voting for her, that tells you something. Maybe SHE IS the candidate to make the changes needed. I hope Edwards endorses her. Maybe when Obama decides to actually put some substance to his case, rather than just saying I was right about Iraq, he would be more appealing. Does it NOT concern anyone that he said he needs to win because he will be "right" on day one, (basically saying he, I'm perfect, and am never wrong) but at the last debate said he doesn't want yes men around him because he won't always be right? so he got lucky on ONE topic, if he admits he won't always be right in the end, then how can that be his case for winning?

Everyone Else -- Obama does have an inspirational movement generating some serious cash, but Hillary, even short on funds, will be a formidable opponent through the remainder of the primaries. This will be a close one and there's no denying it. What matters most? EVERYONE needs to come together in November for whoever wins the nomination. This nation cannot afford another 4 years of a right wing Presidency, tilting the balance of our Supreme Court even further right and continuing to push tax breaks for the richest Americans while the country falls so far into debt that it might never recover. DEMS 08 Janis - I agree, you're on the money about his electability in red and swing states.

Obama won red states by overhwelming margins. She won her adopted home state of NY, adjacent NJ, and Ca., where the Clinton machine has been operating for 15 years. Only adjusting expectations downward concealed the fact that the only states she won were expected, including her other adopted home state of Arkansas, and the immediately adjacent states still riding the Clinton bandwagon, as well as Ma.. Bill Clinton never renounced the immoral and drastic tax cuts of Ronald Reagan, and neither has Hillary. I still insist, the only way to return to our Democratic roots is to eliminate income taxes on the first $50,000. Levy a 40% minimum tax on income over $50,000. Since first $50,000 is exempt, taxes would be reduced on income up to $330,000. Return to a progressive income tax as follows: 50% over $500,000; 60% over $1 Million; 70% over $3 Million; 80% over $5 Million; 90% overe $10 Million. I'm sick of hearing the Republican Party is opposed to taxes, while Democrats are the party of Tax and Spend. The Republicans hav become the party of Spend and Borrow. Let us reclaim our Democracy, which has historically equated with a progressive income tax. Hillary won states which always go Democratic. Obama won red states by overhwelming margins.
