No danger of scandal. I don't think Hillary will let Bill out of the closet where he now lays bound and duct taped after his mouth started causing trouble for her campaign. Four more years of Bill lurking in White House closets, but this time around he'll be alone.

To Maryland, Virginia, and DC voters,
PLEASE think very long and hard before you give your delegates to Obama. He will not beat McCain and he simply is not the most qualified for this job right now. Hillary is "a high-profile candidate with an enormous grasp of foreign- and domestic-policy nuance, dedication to detail, ability to absorb staggering insult and personal pain while retaining dignity, resolve, even humor, and keep on keeping on. (Also, yes, dammit, let’s hear it for her connections and funding and party-building background, too. Obama was awfully glad about those when she raised dough and campaigned for him to get to the Senate in the first place.)

I’d rather look forward to what a good president he might make in eight years, when his vision and spirit are seasoned by practical know-how—and he’ll be all of 54. Meanwhile, goodbye to turning him into a shining knight when actually he’s an astute, smooth pol with speechwriters who’ve worked with the Kennedys’ own speechwriter-courtier Ted Sorenson. If it’s only about ringing rhetoric, let speechwriters run. But isn’t it about getting the policies we want enacted?" Please vote for the best candidate! Hillary 08!!

I don't share my tax returns with the American people. Why should anybody have to? We dont' ask celebrities to, because we're pretty sure of where their money comes from. With Bill and Hillary, they both have several books out, they probably have stock, Bill makes multi-millions from his speaking tour. We know where the money comes from, CNN and the Obama camp have some desperate hope that there is some scandal they can use against the Clintons. This whole "You dont' release your tax returns so we're going to report that all over the place even though it's meaningless" bit is just pathetic. Give me some real news, some real campaigning, some real issues. Otherwise, CNN and Obama, my mind (as well as my vote) are going elsewhere.

Obama has nothing to offer up information wise because he's never done ANYTHING. He's never led anything, he has NO TRACK RECORD as any sort of leader.

If MLK were the Beatles, he'd be Oasis. Why are people so taken with him, I have no idea.

People obviously need something to feel for, the put their heart into. I say go with Hillary, she's been through the worst of the slime machine and came through with her soul intact, standing on her own 2 feet. She's a proven leader, and she's tough. Why can't people see that?

By the way, black men had the right to vote 30 years before white women. Just food for thought.

Why won't Hillary release her tax return? What is she hiding? This is the same type of arrogance we've been dealing with for the past 7 years of the Bush/Cheney administration. IT"S TIME FOR CHANGE. Clinton is the same old wine in a new bottle. She thinks she is above the law, continually covering up for the sleazy way Bill continues to skirt it. I'm all for a woman president but she is not the right one. She is just another lying, backstabbing, back peddaling, politician. McCain isn't as sleazy as she is and he'll get my vote over her any day.

With the Clintons theres always a scandal

For those worried about the Clintons think about this …. Obama will be the next Jimmy Carter, at best. "A man who wins an election with idealistic rhetoric, but when he gets into office, finds himself in over his head." On the other hand the brainwashing and hype - chanting, inspiring speeches, the same words posted everywhere, and brainwashing music or media and the Messiah-ism scares the heck out of me.

Obama Tries to undermind Clinton anyway he can. What a shame.

I live in Florida. we "Voted" "Hillary" here. Nobody seems to care what we think. Well guess what, we do count and "we will be counted" in the general election. The Democratic party & Obama have shunned this state. Guess who this will bite in the butt? The Democrats of course. Go on don't listen to the people here nominate the wrong person, and the next President will be Republican.

BALONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a meaningless promise. We all know better….the Clinton's middle name is "Scandal".

We elect our President not from a national poll but state by state in a winner take all electoral vote strategy. Hence, big states counts!!!
The media and everyone need to take Presidential Election 101 because it appears there are a lot of ignorant people out there especially when you consider the fact that most of Obama voters (at least from exit polls) are affluent and educated. It makes one wonder the meaning of education in the US today.
Believe it or not, there are still RED and BLUE states out there. And as much as I am an Huckabee fan, I don't see Obama winning any of the RED states he has won so far in the Democratic primaries. Moreover, he has not won any big BLUE state yet. But keep dreaming it may happen soon!!!

poeple should look at obamas record in ILL> before they vote for this guy.

Clinton has my vote in Texas!

If only we had gotten the "no scandals" pledge in 1992!!!

Who do these fake Clintons think they are fooling. They honestly must believe we are stupid.

Yeah, I doubt old Slick Willie would get caught out like that again. It's like G.W. said once: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

So Bill Clinton probably can't get fooled again, and even if he could, he'd still be more articulate than G.W. Bush.

Release your Tax Returns, Mrs. Clinton! WHAT are you afraid of? And MORE importantly WHAT are you hiding?

The Clinton's have been vetted. Obama has not. Can he handle the level of scrutiny that the Clinton's have endured over the years? Probably not. he is covered in teflon right now but wait…

I don't think the Clintons deserved all the investigations, etc., and I don't think Hillary has done much to earn the label of divisive. But investigation and labels follow the Clintons. Obama is a fresh start, and Hillary has already learned that it is hard to make bad labels stick to Obama. This bodes well for him in a general election match-up.

Why so much press on Clinton? Obama resoundingly wins Maine and CNN plasters Hillar's picture everywhere. Obama makes sensible statements on policy and ethics and CNN publicizes Hillary's attacks against him.

It is not only CNN, real clear politics, and the Washington Post, the new republic, have become Hillary-spin zones.

Ok we heard this before, What do you think America??????

Interesting….what about scandals involving herself such as the Stan Lee Media question (see You Tube,"The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You To See"),cattle futures, documents from "TravelGate", Vince Foster, and the rest of the list? This woman can lie, empty a full bed pan and eat a donut at the same time. Trusting anything she says is like holding a hand grenade and hoping it doesn't detonate.

Too little, too late, Mrs. Clinton. You had the chance to raise these very specific–and accurate–points about Mr. Obama long ago, but you've been playing nice. Why? Yes, it's true that Mr. Obama seldom mentions specifics (and when he does, like in proposing to attack Palistan, he gets in trouble over his naivete), and may well be better suited for Minister-in-Chief than Commander-in-Chief, put people's perceptions have hardened and cemented. Even a fair, honest and most relevant criticism will come across as an attack now and raise your negatives. Honestly, Mr. Obama reminds me of the candidate for a Senior Pilot-Aviator position and lists Nintendo as job experience. People….be wary of voting your emotions! But, it's too little, too late.

I am pleased to inform the many Republicans and other alike who are supporting BARACK OBAMA . I must admit that American is in a state of war on Terror and at this monent in our histore, to become president of the free world it take an experience individual to take charg of that office. At the time in our modern Politics, Obama does not have the experience to lead American at this time.. My sincere advice to all those who are in support of this man , please help our Country to elect some one who will always protect us against our enemies on terror.

The fact that she actually had to SAY that should be testimony towards the fact that "Hillary-haters" aren't irrational…

HA! Will there be scandals under the Clinton administration? Is the Pope Catholic?…

Obama is focusing on Hillary tax returns, I thought he is competing for president job, not accountant?

Hmm… I'm gazing into the all-seeing crystal ball… I see trouble ahead for Sen. Clinton… yes… it looks like she's holding back her financial information… deleting emails.. playing cat and mouse with the press…

…. The ball is getting hazy… hard to see… wait… there's a smiling, withdrawl-free Obama… he's sucessfully quit smoking, thanks to Nicorrette ™ and has done some TV spots and gone on Opra with advice that cold turkey just doesn't work…

…the ball is hazy again… getting clearer… the wheels are coming off of the Clinton campaign wagon…. what's this… the wagon is headed for the ditch… nearby spectators are getting it on video… it's being posted to youtube…

As if she's going to admit that there were any scandals or skeletons in the closet. Even if there were any, she wouldn't acknowledge them. Doing that would be as much as a kiss of death to her campaign.

Release your financial tax records Hillary. What are you afraid of?

Really? No possibility of scandals? Wow, that's a very bold statement considering she's married to Slick Willie. Better keep those interns looked away…

I'd like to know more about the candidates. Obama's declining a debate invitation and not offering specifics is not helping. Also, saying that he is an uniter, and at the same time that Clinton's supporters would go to him but his would not go to her, or trying to divide between superdelegates and state votes, seems a little contradictory. If we accept that CA voters are not bound by IA results, or vice versa, then why should a superdelegate be bound by other votes? Should John Kerry and Ted Kennedy be bound by MA results? Each has the right to do what he thinks is best. Also, it's mean for Michelle to say that if you can't take care of your house, you can't take care of the White House. I hope we can see more on issues and policies, not other nonsense.

Yes Hillary, lets see those taxes. If there is nothing to hide then prove it.

There will always be scandals surrounding this woman. Lawd I hope I don't have to vote for her in the general election….

I cannot believe that this network would air a segment that links, however jokingly, Barack Obama to bin Laden. It is an absolute disgrace. And the timing of it is suspect - just a day before the next round of primaries. Best advice I ever received was to think before I acted - maybe your producers should do the same.

Hillary is right, Obama is all fluff and no substance. Why is it that he is only doing rallies. Where are the Town Halls. Where are the Q and A's. They say that he has all the highly educated Dems. He does not have my highly educated vote. Pennsylvannia for HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW If he (OBAMA) is for unity and change than why is it that his supporters are so vile and mud slinging. Evidently his message is not well received and is false. He evidently attracts the meanest of the bunch. If he does get the nomination then God help us B/C we will spiral from a recession to a depression and have another attack b/c of his weak back bone and inability to take a stance on real matters. What will he do preach and hold rallies to Kim Juong Il and Iran. Give me a break. Obama makes for a good preacher not a leader.

When I hire employees at my office I look for the most qualified, experienced of the candidates. The least experienced would never be hired over a more experienced applicant.

HILLARY 2008

YOU ARE THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE USA

This could quite possibly be the biggest lie I've heard from any of the candidates.

my god not the Clinton tax return! I don't think you really want to open Pandora's Box do you?

What do Clinton supporters say about this troubling lack of transparency on her part - not revealing her financial records, saying she will do it after the primaries? In all the posts that you guys make attacking Obama, I never hear anyone mentioning this.

It's funny how Clinton backers on these blogs question the source of Obama's donations (because they can't fathom 500,000 donors like me giving $25 here, $35 there to a worthy campaign), but then make no mention of the fact that the Clinton family (who have a history of shady business deals - see Whitewater, cattle futures, Kazakh government, Dubai, and more) are making this effort to keep information from voters and the American public?

Clinton supporters? What say you about this? Please explain how this doesn't bother you.

Hillary,

I just watched your video dismissing caucus state. I've had enough!. I've made enough excuses for you and I'm done doing anything for you.You seem to have ur head buried in the sand, things are changing and you don't seem to recognize that. We are tired of left, right, red, blue, black, white, brown, yellow.

We want to stand together. The spirit of togetherness is in the air and everyday, you actions do more to undermine that than anything else.

Oh by the way, release your income tax filings.

The media has muddied up the big picture of the Hillary/Obama campaigns. Obama's support is coming from new young voters and blacks. Hillary's support is coming from White Women, Older people, Hispanics, Asians, Blue collar workers.

Obama has the message and Hillary has the can do attributes. Overall, Hillary has received more contributions than Obama. You wouldn't know the truth listening to the media.

It is true that Obama scores best with Caucuses and Hillary with Primaries, especially in the big states. It is also true that the Super Delegates will determine who the nominee will be. So far they are with Hillary. Yes, Ohio and Texas are key States to win. Hillary has a lead in both States that will hold primaries on March 4th.

What will the media say when Hillary wins Ohio and Texas? Oh, I know the delegates were split & Hillary will not have gained much.
Well, if Hillary wins Ohio and Texas the race is over. Hillary will have won all the major States leaving Obama with Illinois his home State.

Now that's the reality not all this jumping on the Obama band wagon.
Obama had his moments now it is time to think what is better for the Democratic Party. In a way both the Republican & Democratic Party are fighting for their identity. Obama wants to take it it to the Left of center, Hillary wants to broaden the party from the center.

My prediction is Hillary will win Ohio & Texas and also later on Pennsylvania and the big picture will then appear.

You notice Obama still will not put any specifics of his program out there. Instead he harps on the tax return subject. All you have to do is go to the Senate record and you will find the Clinton information.

Once again, Obama is mentioned in the interview with Clinton, but Clinto isn't mentioned in the Obama interview. Still CNN showing their preference

Texas an Ohio vote for Obama to unite the Democratic party!End this election on March 4th so we can focus on the real opposition and not each other!

pretty sad that's a question that even has to be asked.

Finally Hillary puts it out there….Obama is all rhetoric and no substance and the media is just lapping it up. Hard to believe that the media is not calling Obama to be more specific about how he is going to "change" things in Washington. I get the feeling from his campaign speeches that he is just going to "HUG" people to get his way. You cannot run the country on abstract ideals. That is NOT reality. While John Edwards was my first choice. I have to put all of my support behind Senator Clinton because she has solid ideas and methods to get the job done from day one.

Obama, if elected, will be standing there looking to hug someone and guess what, that aisle he wants to reach across won't be hugging back.

It is interesting that Sen. Obama is running against the "Clintons" but Sen. Clinton is running against Sen. Obama. I wish the media would either stop using the term the 'Clintons" or clarify what they really mean. Could Sen. Clinton really run the race without a Clinton machine that was already in place, or win on her own merit?

It is interesting that if we elect our first woman President it will not be strictly on the basis of her abilities, campaign stratigy and machinery, or her personal campaign. This is not to say that it would not be an historical achievement.

How do you know when your campaign is in trouble. Here are five easy steps to help you figure that out

1. You replace your cheif strategist days before an important vote

2. You have to provide money to your own campaign.

3. You have not won a single state since "Super Tuesday"

4. You have to cry on demand just to make women feel sorry for you.

5. You have to promise that your husband won't act out again.

I hope many American's see this for what it is. Sure he might not act up for a couple of days, but Billary being Billary, it will happen again.

Wow, another day and another 90% of the stories on CNN.com are about democrat candidates. Shocking.

I don't want people seeing where I get my money from. I wouldn't release my financial records.

Billary, are you sure? we have seen that as voters make their mind and choose the candidate who we see can lead this great nation, it appears either you, your husband or your daughter and campaign come up with something. Besides h e might not need to create new scandals the ones he has been creating up to now will follow him and you for ever. Affairs in the white house, and also taking money from huge corporations et all, mmm, those seem like scandals to me.
I am sure the republicans will make sure they bring history back people do not forget………….

How does one remind voters that no "new" scandals will occur, does this not remind voters of the "past" scandals of the Clintons? Second chances…yeah right, not when it comes to the presidency. Amazing how backwards her campaign is thinking. Hopefully this backfires, like everything else.

Obama/Kaine 2008

Good move Barack not willing to debate her in the Potomac it would only have benefitted her. Looks like she is going into attack mode….good come back by Obama.

i think transparency and honesty should be the top qualities Americans should desire in a president,the clintons are just too corrupt and scandal prone and that what they use their so called experience for.Obama is so honest and i know he going to be a good president.

Read my lips - no new scandals!! What does it say about a candidate when she has to make that kind of a promise? I'm no huge fan of McCain or Obama, but for the love of God people - why would you want another round of the Clintons?!?!?!

Hillary is a one note song. I hate Republicans. We've heard it, and we can't dance to it.

Maybe Obama could be transparent and let us know where he stands on the issues instead of providing all this fluff and slogan garbage.

Who cares what she makes? I don't think what she makes is our business. I care about healthcare! That is what we should all care about!! Everyone should have to buy health care. It's not fair to those who have it–we have to turn around and pay for all of the ones who don't! When they run to the emergency room–who do you think pays for it?– WE DO!!! I, for one, am sick and tired of having to do without because I have to buy medicine or go to the doctor. I don't drive my big fancy car with my Coach purse to the emergency room to receive free health care–thanks to all the hardworking people who fund it for them.

Unfortunately, this may not be the case. Google "Bill Clinton and Belinda Stronach". We might as well get it out now before the Republicans do.

I aree with hillary about taxes, she should had gotton tougher from day one, everything been about Bill, besides in this mess the country is in, they better hope for a Bill Clinton and Hillary. He,s no different then all the men in the White House.

Anybody heard who Bill will be taking out for Valentines day?

Let's see - he had more than one affair. He lied to Hillary about it — then lied to the Natiion about it. The man was impeached for his lies. Why should we trust him now?

A cheetah can't change its spots nor does an Ethiopian change his color.

It doesn't matter what we might try to propagate. I have seen and heard enough. One thing is for certain, you are who you are (once a cheat, always a cheat; once conniving, always conniving). Point is a leopard does not changes its spots. You may fool some people somtimes but you cannot foll all the people all the time. Wake up Hillary.

You won't even release your tax records HIllary. You also won't allow access to the Clinton archives until 2012. Your husband lied under oath to the entire American public, and you expect me to believe that the lying and cheating will stop? You won't even be honest about the past, why should I believe you'll be honest moving forward?

Who cares if he released his income tax? I don't for one, I care about someone who has experience, not someone who got a bug up their butt and decided one day to become president. If Barack Obama wants to call someone out, why not himself, the man is a cousin to Dick Cheney, his real name is Barry, and he hasn't once embraced his white heritage? This man is one of the most petty and childlike canidates I have ever seen…He brushed her off like she was nothing and that my friends is so unprofessional. Grow up or get out of this game. When he is no longer wet behind the ears, and has ridden the Southside of Chicago of its crime and bring Illinois some sort of hope, then I would like to hear from him… until then he can sod off.

HRC -> "You know, none of us can predict the future, no matter who we are and what we are running for, but I am very confident that that will not happen."

Ah, yes, always the hedge in an answer from the Clintons. To think it even has to be brought up or discussed at all! NEVER was this been a topic with the Bushes, Carter, Reagan, Ford, or even Nixon! But when you have a rutting pig of a husband like Herr Slickster who can't be controlled, the soap opera is only a headline away! Why would anyone want this couple back in our WH?!

in the "state by state delegate" map (in a link on this page) it is more than a little bit disingenuous to color Florida and Michigan in dark blue for Clinton, when she effectively ran unopposed in both primaries. Another color would have been more appropriate and informative.

Hmmm…a promise of no new scandals? I think Hillary has again mis-spoke. Hillary has her own set of past scandals but not on the grandeur scale of Bill Clinton. Hillary can't control Bill Clinton. She didn't back in the 1980s and 1990s, and she certainly has not done a great job in this campaign season. As for Hillary claiming to control Bill Clinton, I say "You can't teach an old dog new tricks!"

Obama in '08!

I keep wondering what Obama's specifics are also. He does give a good speech because he has good speech writers and has honed his public speaking skills. But, I think there is very little substance behind his words.

No, of course not, he will not debate Hillary on the eve of the Potomoc primary because he might have to get down to specifics and he had rather just do his imitation of the Martin Luther King, Jr. style of oratory and talk about change and hope without stating hope for what and what for change.

I just hope the American people let him know that it will take more than smooth talking to become the President of the United States.

I am ONE of those AMERICAN people you talk about, when you say the "American people want to know…"

Well, let me make it clear: I am an American and I really DON'T want to KNOW!

I don’t want to know nor do I care about how anyone running for president makes their money or are their tax records any of my business. Have you ever heard of PRIVACY? You simply want to create more DIVISION by suggesting that the Clinton's have something to hide.

I'm sure this is part of your asinine HOPE, CHANGE, and UNITY message.

You can spout your empty rhetoric all you want, but it is clear to this INDEPENDENT, that you are the same OLD POLITICS, just wrapped too tightly in a teenage preacher's empty suit.

CHANGE INDEED!

I am not buying that….. I want the Clintons to get back in so we can see all the scandals that have taken place over the last 8 years. Bill has had way to much free time. The Clintons will make us all proud again there are some woman out there just waiting to come out of the closet.

Has a Clinton ever said anything honest…… Pleeeeeeeease.

Clinton=Lies

I am sure that there are many more scandals with Bill Clinton. He was a great president.. but AMerica. lets move on.. There is defintely a problem why they won't release there records.. Obama.. had 1.2 million in bank.. and 34.5 million in the clintons bank…….why is that she can automatically release 5.million dollars to her campaign..

You heard her say there is no upcoming scandal?

Lets see what the press does about it when it comes.

And the country, especially her supporters, have a right to see her financials.

The Republicans just might have these scandals waiting to explode!

We can't afford another 4yrs!!!!

This type of news coverage the media puts up for the public to read as important to know makes me wonder what the media is NOT looking at or covering? Or is the media being just a little one sided in their views towards the Clintons? I don't see any of the other candidates of both parties being asked if their spouses are going to do something that may be scandalous. Since following CNN's coverage for party leader and Presidency for the past few months, I am beginning to feel that the media would rather report negative or bad "possiblities that might happen". Come on people!
What are you going to report on next? That Senator Clinton and her husband are going to start arguing in public over wardrobe choices and accessories? ( Hmmm. Wouldn't suprize me if the media did.

If Hillary thinks the Oval Office is worth her efforts, she should, at least, make her and BIll's income tax records public. We know they are now rich, but we don't know how they got rich. Are there any conflicts of interest in their money trail?

The gifts to the presidential spouse do not have to be reported so Bill can work as Hillary's agent taking in hefty gifts, IF they are elected for the third term.

We all know that Bill will not release the documents from his administration till after 2012, the next election. "What are they hiding from us?" is a reasonable question.

Obama is out of mind. People willl ask for it what people wants. Obama does not need to dicdate any thing on behalf of people.

What about Obama's "bonehead mistake" with Rezko. He had a transaction with him when it was widely known he was under investigation. I wonder if Obama is really so squeaky clean. Also, I prefer a President that doesn't make too many "bonehead" mistakes. I also think it is interesting that Obama doesn't like to debate. Here is why.
A Republican from the campaign trail said he can't wait to get to Obama-Change for what? Hope for what? He considers him am easy target because he doesn't have much that is concrete and has so little substance. Obama will be a great unknown. Too scary for our times.

I, am really tired of Mr. Oboma super decent human being, Who is him?
Who know what he has done were is his track record ? . And we americans we have not brains , to think for ourselves, and decide who is the best person with track record to lead this Country, or we need to be influence for other people, to decide.
wake up to reality . The 8 years with Busch were not enough, to make you think that we need to know the candite ?,

Right yeah no scandals, we believe that for a moment. With Slick Willy in tow you would have to incapacitate both of them for four years in order to have any hope of possibly avoiding scandals.

Real simple Mrs. Clinton back up your general talk and release your tax records. If you need details about Senator Obama's plans go to his website. Its not that hard. I'm sure that Bill has been to model citizen these last 8 years. That why you want release your records.

Hillary is always spewing some junk about fighting this and that, but everytime a tough situation comes up you see her on the toob weeping. Is this the tough as nails Hillary that wants to be commander in chief? I think not!

Obama doesn't talk specifics and the media doesn't force him to because they know it will sink him. They have done everything they can to protect him and help him get the nomination.

Obama should talk about his plan to double the minimum wage and peg it to the inflation rate.

Obama should talk about his idea to have Americans live in "mixed income" neighborhoods.

When he talks about these things people will begin to see how much of a Socialist he is.

Transparency is necessary to be able to hold the highest office in this country: the Clintons are not letting anybody see their income tax returns. What are they hiding?

why didnt you post my comment?

Yeah, Hillary tough (this must be the fairy tale Bubba was talkin bout).

This question about scandel and Bill are so far off the real concerns of the American people,. Get a life!

This is a joke! Can the media just try to go a day and report some of the great news about the Clintons. I once was a proud democrat who will probably vote republican in the next election as the cult-like following towards Obama is crazy, not even based on his views. He is winning votes from girls who are crushing on him and I know people voting for him based on color. How sad… Obama is a great motivational speaker, but we don't have time for on-the-job training after Bush is gone.
So, I have to go against this cult…

Why won't the Clintons release their tax returns like Barack Obama has done? Will their tax returns show something which will be the centerpiece of another scandal? What if Hillary wins the nomination and her financial affairs become an issue during the general election? Will the Democrats lose in November because Hillary refused to be trasparent about her finances?

Transparency in financial, political, legislative, and presidential matters is what Obama is promising the American electorate. Hillary has rebuked Obama's idealism about transparency as naive. Hillary's advocacy of secrecy and business as usual is no better than George Bush in its level of arrogance.

Even John McCain is more honest than Hillary in his financial disclosures. If Hillary pulls a fast one by trying to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan when she was the only one with her name on the ballot or by trying to win the nomination through the political machine of "super-delegates" I know a few Democrats who will sit out the general election or, worse, vote for McCain in order to give Barack Obama an honest shot at the presidency in 2012.

I agree. The Democrats will get a shocker when it comes to the national election. It is not possible for Barrack to defeat any republican

Scandals ?

Google this one !—————-> Clinton FALN <————

nuff said

How about when she said she will not release her finances until she secures the nomination! Print that, CNN.

No one doubts for a minute that Senator Clinton isn't qualified and competent. She is. She is my senator and I applaud her work in the Senate and believe strongly that she can handle things, stands her ground and is tough as nails. BUT, my impression is that is NOT what the country wants anymore. WE are tired of partisan bickering and infighting. We don't want any more divisiveness and US AGAINST THEM. We want someone who is intelligent and has a breadth and depth of experience that can get things done for our country. IF people think that the Bush presidency has been polarizing, just think what another Clinton presidency would do!!!! We would just be switching sides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the Congressional wars would continue. WE deserve something different. We NEED something different. The world needs us to be something different!

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows John McCain (R) leading Hillary Clinton (D) 45% to 43%. Barack Obama (D) leads McCain 44% to 40% (see recent daily results). Among self-identified conservatives, McCain leads Clinton 70% to 14% and Obama 66% to 18%. Clinton leads McCain by five percentage points among political moderates while Obama has an eighteen-point advantage among that group.

Obama is the most popular candidate at the moment, viewed favorably by 52% and unfavorably by 45%. Clinton is viewed favorably by 48% of Likely Voters nationwide, unfavorably by 50%. McCain’s is viewed favorably by 47% and unfavorably by 50%. His ratings are lower within his own party than those for either Obama or Clinton.

I would welcome such close questioning to Obama……what does he stand for in "fact"….not in looks and power of speech. I like both candidates very much….but we need a full look at both!!!!

Hillary cannot make a great president. It's one thing to study and read books…Bush did that. There's something you're born with..which keeps one at even keel; When pressures of losing NH and potentially the nomination got to her, she cried. That's not toughness, folks. Also, Bill and Hillary have been running campaigns all their adult lives…how's it now that a young rookie is practically beating them? He's running a campaign team like a seasoned pro, with no drama (for those who say he has no leadership skill. Look at the difference in how they're both running their respective campaigns)…while they (HRC and company) fumble and juggle like the the old bengals!

It's a gift, folks. Yes, GM is a great and steady company…but I prefer a young upstart by the name GOOGLE!

Future, not past.

OBAMA08!!!!

Come on! We all know that the next President won't be a Republican. I mean look at the Republican pool of candidates. A bunch of Bush clones and they don't represent the new majority of the United States, which consists of all races and diversity. That's why the Dems are getting more media coverage because most of us already know, whether we like it or not, it's either going to be Obama or Clinton as Commander in Chief starting 2009. I mean this year, we are living as though we don't even have a President. Too much damage has been done to the Republican reputation by Bush and his cronies.

In response to Kat's comment, I believe Obama has a much better chance of beating McCain than Hillary (polls show Obama beating McCain by eight points and Hillary tying McCain). Many Republicans and Independents who will come out and vote for Obama, or not vote at all, will be galvanized against Hillary if she is the Democratic nominee. Justified or not (and I personally think there is nothing about Hillary to hate), many people can't stand Hillary and they will come out in droves to vote against her in November.

Four or eight more years in Washington is not going to make Barack a better president than he can be right now. It's true that Hillary is very knowledgeable about the issues, but Barack has shown he can hold his own against her on all the issues, and he definitely has her beat on the War in Iraq issue.

Cynics like Kat will have you believe he's just about rhetoric and speeches. The reality is that he is a man who inspires people to come together and to get involved. He will get people off their couches and engaged with each other in ways that will help this country move forward. We need to come together as a country to solve our problems. Obama can lead us there and beat McCain. Hillary as the nominee will only lead to another Democratic loss and four more years of Bush's policies under McCain.

Btw Steve, it was 52 years after the 14th Amendment giving black men the righ to vote that the 19th amendment was added. 52 years, not 30.

I do not understand where all of Hillary's expereince is suppose to have come from. She is a JUNIOR Senator from NY and being a former First Lady does not provide the resume necessary to be President.

Typical "Hillary Speak" saying "you know where I stand on this issue" when she has been "saved by the bell" or "saved by her cackling laugh" or "saved by the audience response to a previous question" or saved by an interviewer's "we've run out of time." Hillary has yet to lay anything out for the public to scrutinize.

Just like Senator Kerry whose military record still has not been released, Hillary has not and will not release her papers, her financial statements, and anything to do with any scandal she has been involved in and/or linked to. But she'll tell you that "you know where I stand" all day long. Follow the money and you'll find out all about Hillary and Bill.

Hillary can't keep Bill from playing around. She's been unable to do so since before they married and he's not about to change his character, either.

Hillary has been Bill's co-President for 8 years. Is Bill going to be Hillary's co-President for another 4? If she wins the election, doesn't that mean that each will have 12 years as co-President? Where in the Constitution is there any provision for a Dynasty of co-Presidents? No other Presidents have ever had a co-Presidency with their spouses. I think that if she wins, a lawsuit could be brought to the Supreme Court to nullify the election based on her recorded statement when Bill was President: "We Are The President."

Give it some thought.

Barack is going to get that slam dunk tonight in DC/MD/VA. I'll be sitting in front of the tube watching CNN (fantastic technology guys!) report on this historical landslide. It only gets more exciting as the race goes on.

As for Hillary promising "no scandals" is like Bill promising to stay awake in a black church - won't happen! haha Besides, she's been trying stuff all along, from the "victim" of MSNBC comments, to the tears and coughing fits, to the constant whining about a lack of media coverage (The media is tired of you just like we are. The 90's were totally exhausting!). Just watch as the day goes on. She will pull SOMETHING. After all, this IS the eve of another important election. No caucuses this time Hillary so think early on your excuse for why you won't win tonight. And for God's sake, be humble and say "Congratulations". It's just good form. Try harder this time.

Okay CNN, you can actually release "something" that I write. I'm going to start complaining unfairness like Sen. Clinton does constantly.

I am a Canadian resident and I have been following this election process from the begining. I admire Hilary Cliton and I am a strong supporter of Barack Obame. I still don't get those of you who say you want specifics from Obama. He is just like every other candidate who tells you what they will do when they get to office. So what's the deal? The fact that he can say his in a manner that brings tears to your eyes, and hope for your future, also the realization that everybody is responsible does not make him non-specific. So lets talk specific:
On HEALTHCARE
HRC: I will mandate it so that everybody will be covered.
BO: I will subsidize it so that everyone can afford it.

On Economy:
HRC: Released billions of dollors stimulus package.
BO: Released billions of dollars stimulus package.

National Security:
HRC: I will put out troops out of Iraq, one brigade monthly
BO: I will put out troops from Iraq with 16 months, I will speak to leaders of countries who will opose (sensible), I will order military strike on Pakistan if I think Osama Bin Laden is hiding there.

How will they do it? of course by working wiith congress and the Joint chiefs and that is where their message differs. You don't have to fight when you can come to an agreement. It is common sense and does not waste time.

Example, see how quickly the congress and George Bush reached an agreement on your stimulus package. Because they recongnized the strong urgency of now, "the economy is failing".

So to all Obama haters, four words for you. SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Latina for Obama! Others are out there also.

Steve:
More food for thought- Yes, Black men were given the right to vote before White women, but Black men were lynched, fired from their jobs, and their homes were burned for actually trying to vote. I have not heard similar stories about White women. So, don't try to make the comparision.

All the Clintons do is fight and create scandal. That's what the Bush administration did and it got us nowhere.

Barack Obama is the best candidate to take us forward.

RealClearPolitics.com shows polls that prove he can beat McCain.

CNN said last night that the plan for the foreclosure problem is very similar to the plan that Hillary outlined. Imagine that someone actually has a plan and everyone thinks its a good idea and it helps millions of people in trouble. We are in real trouble in this country and we need more plans like this. She can do this.

For those of you that didn't hear the debate Obama said 'LOOK, NOBODY'S HANDS ARE CLEAN HERE." He is no better. All of it will come out if he gets the nomination from the Republicans because the media has given him a free ride. Mcain will chew him up and spit him out and we will have another Republican President.

Tax records are not the American people's business. What matters is who can
run our country at a time when we are in a horrible mess with foreign countries, our economy. We use to be the riches nation in the world, there are people out there that want to destroy us and the way to do this is break us. Now do we want someone who has the strength and character to take care of the country for us, since
we as the american people are not. Hillary Clinton has the ability to take care
of the United States of America. I am so sick of hearing about Bill and what he did
in his own personal life. My fellow Americans, he's not the only one. Build a
bridge and get over it. Men if your againist a women as President, think of how
your married to one and best of the best was your Mom, who is a women. Give
Hillary a chance. She can do it ofr all of us.

I do notice that pro-Hillary comments are censored heavily on CNN blogs. I have posted several times over the past month only to see my comments waiting for moderation - and then getting dumped.

The CNN bias against Hillary Clinton runs very deep!

Hillary is about action. She has my vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen from Minnesota, if you call integrity teflon then yes, Senator Obama is covered in it and thank God he is! I would love to see a woman as president of the USA, just not this woman! Too much baggage…too many scandals…Are we really supposed to trust that they are not full of mess just because they are "seasoned" politicians? Gimme a break! For all of you who claims Senator Obama has no specifics and details, just take a look at his record as State Senator in Illinois…more importantly, he was not foolish enough to vote for a dumb war, unlike the oh so wise and "seasoned" HRC! We'll see what everyone has to say after they are mandated for her Universal Health Care plane…like when your wages are garnished for not wanting the healthcare! I've checked her record and yes she's done some…some good as a Senator but it's not a vast difference…Tell me this someone please account for her so called 35 years of experience! What does that include? Wal-mart lawyer? 8 years as her husband slept with other women? Failed healthcare plan? Stepping on the actual VP's toes? What are her so called 35 years of experience? We've had so much "experience" in the white house over the years and what do we have to show for it? Half the world hates us, under this "experience", 800,000 Rawandans died under this "experience", and we have this oh so wonderful war! UNDER THIS "EXPERIENCE" HRC is agenda driven, power hungry and scandalous!

Deny, deny, deny. This woman is full of denials. She says she''s winning but the facts are she''s losing. She lends her campaign money and her top manager steps down for "personal" reasons and then she says she''s not in trouble. Asked if old wounds might be reopened and she says "That''s not going to happen". She wants so badly for things to go her way; she must have been a very spoiled child. She''s not in this for the good of the country, she''s in it just to win and get into the history books. The Republicans will chew her up and spit her out. She''s carrying more baggage than a Greyhound bus. Obama's our man!

Seriously, why is everyone so hyped up on Hillary's experience?! Last I checked, experience did not mean being first lady…that's like saying Laura Bush is qualified cause her husband was gov of Texas, and then president.

In reality, with Obama's time in the Illinois Senate, Hillary only has 2 more years on him.

And being a lawyer in the Coporate world does not make you qualified either.

Seriously Hillary supporters, get a grip.

Talk, talk, talk! is that all he can do?? where's the beef?

Feminists, racists…..you can all come out in force, but you cannot stop democracy in action. Obama's track record is lily-white compared to the Clinton's that is black as tar. He is full of ideas, full of hope and he will back those with action.

Be prepared.

OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!

I don't give a hoot what Hillary and Bills' tax returns have to say.

Why is the filthy question about a potential scandal in the WH by Bill run not once but twice in the Ticker? CNN, that is not cool. Let Hillary be Hillary, and stop airing out that dirty laundry again and again. We need to know who will be the best president, not whose husband strayed a decade ago.

Hilary wont run this country if she pulls out a miracle against obama. For the reason, Bill will be putting his nose in every little mistake she will make and foreign relations. Obama will be the only answer for this devestated country. I will move to canada if Hilary or Mcain is in office. I was in the Military for 6 years and I was for bush but now that im out I dont think this country needs another Republican in office. There will be a grim future for the world if hillary is elected. I just have a bad feeling about how the middle east and asian countries will look at us as they dont see women as leaders…They will think we are weak and attack us..im truely nervous.

The reason Obama can make this far because more than 80% block people vote to him and he make some white people think he can beat McCain but Hillary can’t if they choose party going to lost
Almost any host at major TV media( MSNBC CNN FOXNEWS) they're Republican
And they also radio host they know they can't beat Sen Hillary but they can beat Obama so they do anything to help Obama So I saw they even promote Obama

Mr. Barack Hussein Obama along with the entire media keep harping on Hillary releasing her taxes, WHY WON'T OBAMA RELEASE THE LIST OF HIS 'LARGE DONORS'??????????? That is important information. By the way, to all the Obama sheep, OBAMA VOTED TO EXTEND THE PATRIOT ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're all completely brainwashed if you think the Republicans DON'T want to run against him, why do you think they are voting for him?? They are trying to set the Democrats up!! HUSSEIN OBAMA IS A FRAUD!!

lets face it…
we are counting on young Americans to come out and vote again… Once summer comes and schools out and young people are busy keeping their children occupied for the summer, and all the rallies are done.. think they will show up at the polls in Nov? like 2004? the Independent voters are going to vote for McCain, think about it people its the fun thing to do right now. to get a bunch of bored young people together…can we really afford to take that chance again? Hillary is our only real hope for the White house..

The Independents already have their nominee with McCain so they do not need to got vote for him so they are voting for Obama to push Hilliary out. But when push comes to shove they will be back on McCains bandwagon.

There is a reason Hillary is still in this race. The harder they push her out the more Democrats are going to fight to keep her in.

_____________________________________________________

Let me get this straight, Chris. We should not vote for a woman because the TERRORISTS won't like it??????? HUH?????????

9/11 happened while a man was President. The terrorists are lunatics who want to attack us no matter WHO is president!

Sheesh!!!!!!!

It appears to me there are a lot of Hillary lovers here. They sound bitter and desperate with ridiculous claims. As far as the super delegates go they will vote how they vote no one can change that. I don't think it will come to that. Obama will keep winning with overwhelming margins. He has proven he can manage his campaign! It is thriving financially, spiritually, organizationally, and growing supporters by the minute. This proves to me he is a leader, organizer and has great people on his team. These are qualities we need in a presidant in these desperate times. Like he says the "urgency of now." There are many reason he has become so popular. One of the bigger ones is he refuses to go negative. He might call a spade a spade but he has not attacked anyone. He has shown us through this primary he can win from coast to coast and anywhere in the middle. He is popular with independents and this will be very important in the national campaign. He has a god given natural ability to bring people together.
Why does Hillary have such low expectations. I would be upset if she was my candidate and she was saying "well we didn't expect to win here, we didn't expect to win there." The Clinton campaign can carry on all they want about the super delegates but in the end this will never happen. No one wants another stolen election and thats what it would be. If it does for some reason happen the delegates will fall in line…like they should.
Hillary will put up the good fight but I can hear in her voice a sad, resigned tone.
You can't call Obama untested after he has had to go up against the former president, his wife the senator, there staunch list of loyal supporters and there daughter Chelsea.
Believe me when this is over he will have deserved his position as President of the United States and the blessing of the majority of the American voters.

You wrote: "Tax records are not the American people's business".

I disagree respectfully with you. If Hillary asks Americans (poor & rich) to send her their hard earned money to support her campaign, then the very least she can do is to show us her tax records.

We are not asking too much.

Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” for 2007

1. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 – and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint against Senator Clinton for filing false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again). And Hillary’s top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilt to one count of grand theft for defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.

I rest my case.

Hillary's supporter… She is the best candicated and keep up!!!
Hillary 08′

Hillary is willing to release her records when the General Election occurs, but not the primary. Why does it matter? Because she has made it matter.

If there is no problem releasing it later, why wait?

Because any money from defense contractors, oil companies, or corporations that may be unliked by traditional democrats won't have any impact against her when she is running against McCain … Against Obama, however, he could rightfully point out that her money is from sources that it ought not be for someone espousing a liberal policy.

Of course, this is speculation, because Hillary wishes her finances to be shrouded in a cloud of secrecy. Convenient for her - although it certainly makes me question what she is trying to hide? If she's not afraid it will hurt her in the primary, it can only be because she is afraid to lose liberal support in the primary.

Sorry, Hill, but no self-respecting liberal would vote for you anyway. You've sold out too many times, and our 8 years of the Clintons before were far from a liberal oasis.

The longer Hillary takes in not showing her taxes, this issue will grow.

Hillary go home

Maya, High 5 on that one!

Watergate, Filegate, what else can the Clintons get added to the scandal list!

i was just wanted to make the point that while everyone talks about Obama not having enough experience, and how he is so naive he just cannot do what he says, look at where he is now! We all like to pretend that a president has all this power to get things done but if you can't make people come together to get things done, all of your good ideas and wonderful specifics don't matter. The president does not operate in a vacum. I think the election will be democrats unless we blow it again, regardless of the nonimee. The question is on day one and all the days after can you get republicans and democrats to work together do actually do ANYTHING that you want them to do. (look at congress now, i don't know they could agree on the color of the sky.) So I vote for Obama because i think that he can actually get things done, because he has proven that he can motivate and bring people together. Apathy is sometimes tougher to overcome than outright dislike. This time I am voting for the man, not the party, not the policies, and not against anyone, for the first time I am voting for the canidate. I feel proud of that.

Truth—

You have no idea what you're talking about…

Obama hasn't taken money from large donors…

But Hillary has thats why shes hiding her returns…

The simply truth is Hillary will not beat McCain and Obama can.

So you democrats can take your pick
