		<description>Could someone please tell me WHY so many Hillary supporters believe Obama is going to wither and /or crumble if he wins the nomination when the BIG BAD REPUBLICAN MACHINE...oooooohhh, comes after him!! You guys need to SNAP OUT OF IT!!  While he may be young  (compared to Hillary) he isn&#039;t stupid!!! I am sure he expects and has actually anticipated how they are going to come after him. One other question..WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO FEARFUL??? I believe it reflects more on you than the candidates.</description>

		<description>By electing Senator Clinton, we will have a President ready to tackle the almost overwhelming challenges facing this nation. She will bring her intelligence and experience to the White House—but far more important, she will bring discipline. She is a self-described workhorse and in my experience discipline and hard work are the most critical factors in achieving any goal. Unfortunately, because our nation’s focus is far too often on style over substance, we have not been able to make so many needed changes. I believe that Senator Clinton’s determination, experience, and work ethic will help us to shift that paradigm.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I am a Hillary supporter but I&#039;m almost hoping in a way that Obama wins. Then all the naysayers that are supporting him will see the real person. How will CNN react when the Republican attack machine turns it&#039;s guns and hits him with both barrels. If he thinks that Hillary is beating him up he hasn&#039;t seen anything yet. CNN will have a lot of explaining to do to his campaign when they desert him in order to show the country that they&#039;ve changed their policies and are only going to report the facts not favor one candidate of the other (a total opposite of what they are doing now to Hillary).

Barack Obama has no clue what will happen in the general election and I can tell you he will not beat John McCain. McCain will nail him on everything from his lack of experience to his not supporting the war but somehow voting to fund it. Weird how that works. If Obama wins the nomination I will vote for McCain and I know alot of others that will do the same.</description>

		<description>This is to Jon,
   Does this also mean every woman is voting for Hillary only because she is a woman!! That is ridiculous!!  If Obama had a crappy message Blacks would not vote for him. Also how do you explain Obama winning predominately white states. MESSAGE, MESSAGE, MESSAGE. Let&#039;s all grow up and keep both RACE and GENDER out of this.</description>

		<description>What I find amusing is that the expeience Hillary claims to have is to be married to the guy who ignored the al-Qaida threat.  Not the kind of experience I am looking for.</description>

		<description>Hey, for all those asking for Clinton to release her tax returns, she says that she will only do so AFTER she secures the nomination!!! CNN, POST THAT STORY!! She wants to do negotiations now??? Well, this is one negotiation that will never &quot;close&quot;. She must take the American people for a joke. Obama released his without any conditions and this woman wants to make deals as if what we will get out of the deal is seeing her finances. When I say the Clintons operate on manipulative tactics, her supporters want to dispute it. Well, HRC supporters, I suggest you stop standing for her because this woman is digging her own grave and taking you in with her.  I hate condescending, manipulative, and opportunistic people, but if this is what you want for your country, believe me, you will get it, but you will live to regret it!!

		<description>How can Hillary keep claiming that she is the candidate that can beat McCain?  Every poll I have seen gives the advantage to Obama over McCain.  In polls that showed that she could beat McCain, Obama had a much bigger margin.  I have yet to see a poll that shows the she is a stronger candidate against McCain.

She does read these polls, doesn&#039;t she?

And hasn&#039;t she been listening to the Republicans?  They keep saying that nothing would unite them more than going against her.</description>

		<description>African Americans vote on racial lines. Everyone knows it. They see a black man running, and convince themselves that he&#039;s the best choice.

He&#039;s brainwashed us all. He will be a terrible president.</description>

		<description>First of all, the states of NY, CA, NJ, and MA will vote democratic no matter who the candidate is. So, having said that, it&#039;s more important to be able to win the states that are called &quot;swing states&quot; or have heavy Republican bases. Imagine that Obama could win a few of these during the general in addition to the ones we already have wrapped up. 

He has the ability to avoid what happened in 2000 (remember Florida?). Do you really think Clinton would even come close to winning any Republican states?

Her argument is so backwards, is it any wonder that she is losing ground? She might win Texas and Ohio, but think of it, if she couldn&#039;t win the Democratic party by a landslide by Super Tuesday, how would she ever win the general election?</description>

		<description>For all of you who speak of Hillary&#039;s experience dont realize that Barak has more &#039;elected&#039; experience than Hillary.  He has served in the Illinois senate for 7 years NOT 3.  Hillary has only been an &#039;elected&#039; official for 4 years when she ran and won New York City.  This is easy math, 7 is greater than 3.  

Hillay did serve as the wife of a President and the wife of a governor but those are not &#039;elected&#039; years.  One can argue and debate that those years should count as &#039;experience&#039; as she has.  This argument is perfectly debatable and the voters should decide if elected experience outweigh experience by osmosis or vice versa.  

In my opinion, &#039;elected&#039; experience should be what the decision is based on.  If not, all house wives can claim to have experience in their husband&#039;s businesses.  I can live with either candidate but prefer Obama because leadership is important.  The decision to walk on the moon or face death for equal rights all started with a vision.  Experience is over-rated because you already carrying the habits of others who influenced you along the way.  

Decide for yourself people.  &quot;Elected&quot; experience or &quot;Wife&quot; experience?</description>

As an interesting note: Why do you want to perpetuate the disenfranchisement of young people?  I&#039;m not saying they should have broken the law.  I&#039;m saying, why don&#039;t young people deserve to vote?  Why do you deserve to, and they don&#039;t?  I started working and paying taxes when I was 14.  I thought it was paying taxes that qualified you.  Maybe not.  I scored higher than 3/4ths of graduating seniors on a test when I was in 8th grade.  I thought it was decision making and knowledge that qualified you.  Maybe not.  The day I turned 18, I was suddenly able to vote.  I thought there would be a big difference between that day and the one before it.  Guess there wasn&#039;t.  That&#039;s not democracy.</description>

		<description>OK, Obama leads in delegates based on voters choices, and Hillary is ahead in superdelegates... if so-called &quot;superdelegates&quot; have enough weight (and a lot of them are quite old and fat) and margin to push an outcome that does not agree with what the voters have determined, then why bother having primaries and caucauses?  The democratic party, already teetering on the edge of worthlessness, should eliminate the use of superdelegates because the party is on its way to becoming just as meaningless at the republican party already is.  Hillary, Bill and Chelsea... please shut the f&amp;$% up and go home.  America is tired of the Clintons.</description>

		<description>I wish Clinton supporters would stop calling my vote for Obama stupid.  I am a young, white, southern attorney and I am not a moron because I believe in Senator Obama&#039;s ability to be the next president of the United States.  If you want the party united come November, you must stop treating us like idiots when we don&#039;t vote your way.</description>

		<description>I boarded a plane yesterday going from Washington (state) to Northern California and overhead a woman who said she was a Clinton campaign worker telling other people in the line that &quot;there were rumors that Obama dealt drugs at Columbia&quot;.  The woman she was talking to looked at her and asked, &quot;Do you have any basis for that or are you just spreading a rumor and walking away?&quot;  The Clinton campaign worker smiled and laughed uncomfortably and said, &quot;Well, it&#039;s a rumor, we don&#039;t have any real information...&quot;

This is a true story and I found it sickening.  We cannot elect this woman to our highest office.  She will do anything to win and is not honest.

I&#039;m an independent.  I&#039;ll vote for anybody but Hillary.  I just don&#039;t trust her...

McCain, Obama, doesn&#039;t matter.  Anybody but Hillary.

Beware Dems.  I think there are a lot of people out there like me.</description>

		<description>WOW!!!

This woman has absolutely lost her mind.

Yeah, I am sure Team Clinton was planning on gettting creamed 17-9 in primaries/caucuses since Super Tuesday since they began putting their plans together back at the beginning of the campaign (when her people were saying the nomination was &quot;inevitable&quot;).

Also, sure they planned on firing their campaign manager right in the middle of a heated battle for the nomination.  That is EXACTLY what you want to do right in the middle of an intense campaign.

And I am more than certain that they were always planning on trying to change the rules on Florida and Michigan even after noone besides her campaigned in those states.

Bottom line, Team Clinton is panicking and she is not one to go down gracefully.  I am betting she blows a gasket by the time Texas and Ohio come around.</description>

		<description>This year marked the third presidential caucus/primary cycle of my voting lifetime, however it marked the first time that I cared enough about any of the candidates to go and caucus for them.  I resent the fact that Hillary is so quick to discount my voice and decision to participate in this process.

Whatever there is that&#039;s great about these United States of America is there because its people possess these same qualities of greatness, and choose to express them in their daily lives through the choices they make.  A president cannot bring a country to shame without encouraging shameful conduct by their constituents.  Similarly, a president can only make a country great by inspiring their constituents and advisers to bring out the best in themselves.  Having the ability to make their team (which for the president is all of us) believe that they themselves can each play an important role in progress is the characteristic of a true leader...a leader that this country needs.

Let us not forget that the energy which is bringing people to caucuses and Obama rallies is likely to be the same type of energy that will be used for volunteering for Obama&#039;s proposed public service programs and otherwise sacrifice for the good of the nation.  This is not about believing in Obama, its about believing in ourselves and our country again.  And it is precisely that belief, coupled with good old American ingenuity and dedication, which has the best chance of overcoming the monstrous challenges that we now face.

		<description>She does raise a good point about the caucuses. These are old and antiquated systems of voting that should be done away with. When you are not voting in secret, you skew the voting process. Sure, many people vote their true beliefs, but many others will not want to be seen as backing who isn&#039;t as  popular. Plus, they only last two or three hours. The solution is simple, all states hold day-long primaries, preferably on one day, and from there launch the national campaign.</description>

		<description>Gee, when McCain loses badly, in Kansas, he says he has a lot of work to do. When Hillary loses every contest over the weekend, she blames the party activists, the caucus system, and African Americans. She then says the caucus system does not reflect the will of the voters.

Hmmmm.... Depends on what the meaning of the word &quot;lose&quot; is.</description>

		<description>As a democrat in a caucus state, I think it&#039;s important for people to realize how the presidential nominee vote takes place.  You&#039;re handed a ballot with the democratic nominees names on it, you put a check mark next to the one you wish to vote for, then your ballot is placed in a box to be counted.  Then you can stay and participate in the caucus, or you can go home.  

Here in Minnesota, we had record turnouts - traffic was jammed, lines were long.  It wasn&#039;t just a bunch of activists going to caucus.  People were inspired and energized about voting.  I&#039;ve voted in primaries and now a caucus and I don&#039;t see a substantial difference (other than the fact that parties voted at different places).  

Hillary should be ashamed of dismissing caucus states.  There are a lot of people that are very excited about having a voice in this election . . . and she just said we don&#039;t matter.</description>

		<description>Come on Obama! Why won&#039;t you debate Hillary within the next 2 weeks?  Are you seriously afraid of her? 

This is a true test of your knowledge and to see if you REALLY have what it takes to be President starting on January 21st 2009. President Bush has proved that anybody can just &quot;wing it.&quot; We want to see if you can talk the real talk. There&#039;s no better way than to see you in debates, spittin your knowledge on the isses!! 

If you really have what it takes, prove it to us voters during this close race. Help us decide. DEBATE! That&#039;s the REAL man&#039;s method!</description>

		<description>Caucuses will not be secure votes for some time yet, and it is easy to understand obamamania overtaking small groups!

We won&#039;t know which way the wind is blowing until we get to the big state primaries and if necessary on to the convention.

Money/influence bought the Bush reign.  Do you really want another one?  :(

		<description>Do yourselves a favor. Go to Youtube and watch Michelle Obama&#039;s Delaware speech. Hillary is just shifting the bar again, as predicted. Michelle&#039;s long lost cousin must be Nostradamus. He is somewhat cooler than Dick Cheney. You can&#039;t change character, people. This is why Hillary is so predictable.</description>

		<description>It is obvious to see that CNN is only rendering Hillary&#039;s message &amp; nothing more.  I don&#039;t buy the argument that they&#039;re bias. She&#039;s the one who&#039;s downplaying the importance of  a big chunk of the electorate to explain her losses (which could backfire in the general election). Barack on the other hand, spoke about making himself known to the latino community  after his losse in California, in order to improve his numbers among states with a big latino votes concentration. He never spoke negatively about whoever didn&#039;t vote for him.  Which is why he&#039;s doing so well.  People see him as a great leader with integrity and morals.

CNN is only reporting facts.  They supposed to cover events as they happen.  Barack is creating a lot of buzz wherever he goes.  So why would they spend time talking about Hillary&#039;s campain if there&#039;s absolutely nothing to report?  This is a no-brainer to me. This is not favoritism but news repoting.

		<description>I love this.  Hillary lost in several red states to Obama, but she claims she will be more competitive than Obama in them during the General Election?  More people voted for Obama than her, but fewer people will vote for McCain than her later on?  Sounds like a desperate twisting of fact and logic to me.</description>

		<description>When African-Americans overwhelmingly vote for Obama, she sluffs it off. When women carry her in the states she wins, she trumpets it.

		<description>By the way, McCain said practically about caucus voting in a response to a question about Huckabee&#039;s wins.  Before you criticize Clinton for her comments learn something about voting in a caucus.  For example,  how many registered Democrats are in Maine -- about 400,000.   How many Democrats voted -- about 40,000.  So you have about 10 percent of the voters decide for the state.  There is a similar scenario in all the caucus states so a win in a caucus state does not translate into a win for the Democrats in the general election.  We want a candidate that can win in November.    GO HILLARY!</description>

		<description>I wish people would stop being LAZY! Go to the websites of Clinton, Huckabee, McCain, OBAMA..etc. and read their policies. Read their plans as President.

Is it too hard to read? And stop belittling the people who support these candidates. I am sure they did their research just as I have done. I researched republicans and democrats to see where everyone stood. From that I made my decision.

I would like a mix of Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and John Edwards. My perfect candidate. However, I had to pick one who these people together came close to and that was OBAMA. Did I make this decision from listening to their speeches alone NO! What type of idiot would do that..I looked at their website and to be honest WIKIPEDIA. Wikipedia is an amazing resource. Use it!

Read..read..read..just don&#039;t get caught up by what you see on TV. 

Obama 08!</description>

		<description>Hillary, are you suggesting that Obama&#039;s supporters are &quot;activists&quot; because they gave you an old fashion, down home, butt whopping last weekend?  

So all those who suport YOU are called what?  Name calling and labling REALLY should be left to the Republicans.  We know better than that, don&#039;t we Hillary &amp; Co. ... or is it only Obama and his activist supporters who know better?  Maybe that&#039;s why he&#039;s leading the Democratic campaign.  

Hey Hillary, Ann Coulter would have voted for you last weekend.   At least it would have been something ... someone.</description>

		<description>She&#039; obviously scared.  She&#039;s only wining because of superdelegates, and Obama&#039;s catching up to those.  She&#039;s fired her campaign manager, she&#039;s borrowing money...

What Hilary forgets is that no matter who wins the nomination, states like New York, California, etc. will vote for the democratic candidate.  However, its the states that voted red in the last election that we want to vote blue in this one, and Obama has clear support in those, and he;s has the strongest chance of winning the electoral vote in November and the election.

Obama&#039;s doing better in caucuses because those primarily focus on talking to voters about why they should vote for their candidate, and it&#039;s much easier to convince someone to vote for Obama simply because he&#039;s a better and stronger candidate with a more integrity and a more agreeable record.</description>

		<description>Oh that Hillary...loses on the weekend and pulls a Bill Clinton at the South Carolina primary.  Hillary blaming her losses on &quot;race&quot;, let rewind that again, Hillary Clinton playing the race card?

The following is Hillary&#039;s thought processes....
&quot;Hmmm...Let&#039;s see.

Scape-goated and Fired my Hispanic woman chief of staff - CHECK
Hired a black woman chief of staff prior to DC, Maryland primaries - CHECK
Dismissed Obama supporters in Maine, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Washington (as well my own Maine, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Washington support) - CHECK
Got Chelsea Clinton on campaign trail claiming to have poor health issurance while working at a hedge fund making 6-figure salary - CHECK &quot;</description>

		<description>As has been stated so many times on these boards by people living in those states, Texas and Pennsylvania (my home) are clearly on Hillary&#039;s side, and will allow her to carry a pledged delegate lead into the convention.  Face it, huge Hispanic population in Texas will never vote for Obama, and a huge elderly population (of which I am not at the moment) in PA will not vote for the emptiness of Obama&#039;s rhetoric.  I even am friends with a number of African American males that just can&#039;t believe anyone would fall for Obama&#039;s empty words.

Hillary will carry the big states and the day at the convention.</description>

		<description>What bothers me most is the nastiness of the Obama supporters.   Read the comments--some people sound very immature. .  Even Michelle Obama has become a shrill, Stating she will not  support Hilary Clinton if she gets the nomination.  I thought Obama was about bringing people together.  Perhaps he should talk to his wife. I thought Obama represented change from the nastiness of politics.  Anyone is better than Bush.  Hilary is correct-- Many of the states she has won are larger with more electoral votes, which she will carry in fall.  Obama has won the Democratic caucus in red states with small turnouts for the caucus.  Although the Democrats supported him, those states will be Repubican in the fall.</description>

		<description>WAIT A MINUTE! Hillary says Obama&#039;s wins were in states that go red so they don&#039;t matter? Yet Hillary is pinning her big hopes on TEXAS! It don&#039;t get redder than Texas folks. She kills me. Caucus states are all activists? Iowa is full of activists? The other wins are because Obama is black? I think I might be offended on more levels than I can count. Not as many as on George Bush, but yikes!</description>

		<description>The facts are the facts.  An AP Poll says, If the election was held today, that Barack would win against McCain.  If the election was held today, Clinton &amp; McCain would split the vote.

Why?

Because if the Democratic Party unites behind Obama, more Clinton supporters will follow the party, and Obama has a better chance of attracting Republicans and Independants, then if Hillary is on the ticket.

Hillary is too polarizing, she will rally Republicans against her and turn off many Democrats that would normally vote.</description>

		<description>So did she just say that black votes don&#039;t matter?

It sounds like she just said black votes don&#039;t matter.

She was dismissing a &quot;... system that favors...an energized African-American community.&quot;</description>

		<description>How short everyone&#039;s memories are. Just in January when the Sainted Obama lost in NH, he whined and cried not fair and the media, who backs him entirely started spinning Bill and Hillary&#039;s words into something they were not, while Obama tittered quietly on the sidelines, letting Al Sharpton and the Media play the race card for him. 

Now when Hillary puts on a brave front, everyone as usual criticizes her far more than they ever dare to criticize the Sainted and Sly Obama, who by the way, is much more establishment than anyone cares to notice. No one seems to object to that sense of entitlement he projects that with virtually no experience, but with merely a vision, we should all come out and make him president. In exchange, he will help us be the best we can be.

Give me a break...</description>
