CNN

Could you guys be any more one sided in your reporting of the Democratic Primary? At least wipe the smiles off your faces when you discuss the results of the primary contests. How many times are you going to declare Hillary's campaign dead? There are still a lot of states that need to vote. Be a little bit more objective please. The truth is that if we were looking at the resumes of these two candidates with no names or pictures he would not even get an interview for the job. He does not have the experience or understanding of International affairs to be effective on day one. Lets keep our objectivity here. I personally have reprogrammed my XM radio buttons to remove CNN and add the BBC. They are far better at reporting the news objectively. They give a global view without all the sensationalistic pontification that has become CNN's trademark lately.

Hey FELIPE, it is people like you that will cost the Democrats the election. Do you want the Obama supporters to not vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination?

Have fun in Canada!!!!

Of course Obama won in DC. He's black and a Democrat. In the last four mayoral
elections in DC, voters coming out of the polling places were quoted as saying that they would never vote for a white candidate, either Democrat or Republican. When asked why voters in DC wouldn't vote for a white Democrat for Mayor, the answer was simple, that candidate wasn't black. If Obama's win in DC isn't racist,
I don't know what is.

The biggest threat facing not only America today but the world as well is global warming. That’s it plain and simple. I am not afraid of these so-called terrorist threats that have been shoved down our throats by the biggest terrorist of them all. (GWB) This man should be put on trial. With all the complaining about three-dollar gas how much more complaining will go on when a gallon of water costs three dollars. Granted America will more than likely be the last to feel this crunch almost like the the price of gas (Two years ago in Europe a gallon of gas cost the equivalent of 5 bucks a gallon, estimating conservatively)

The republicans say the left want bigger government and the right wants a smaller government. That may be true, but while this is true who wants to stick their noses and their hands into yours and my house and tell us how to live?

I want to know that our right to take control of our lives will be safe. I want to know I can have a phone conversation without someone listening in. I want to know that I have the freedom to speak out in public about the hypocrisies of my government and most importantly I want to know that the separation between church and state will remain strongly distant for my children’s children. If the women’s right, pro life and the religious right movement get stronger the advantages we have which I just listed will become weaker and the government gets stronger. No I would rather have a bigger government with fewer rules than a small government that is continuously able to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.

I get so sick of the misdirection that the country has been being run for the last 8 years it makes me sick.

Oh yeah and one more thing I do not think that Mr. Obama will succeed the vote if it came down to the wire like in the last two presidential elections.

Let's not forget that we have two _excellent_ candidates running for the democratic nomination this year. How fortunate we are! Several weeks ago, at least one poll indicated that 70% of democrats would support either candidate - and yet here it seems to have degenerated into an all or nothing argument: "if my candidate loses, I'm voting McCain." Personally, I want the the democrats to take back the White House, regardless of which candidate wins the nomination. Do I have a preference? Of course! But if Obama doesn't win the nod, then I'll vote for the candidate that does. It's all good to vigorously support your favorite candidate now, but keep your eye on the prize – a Democrat in the White House – when November rolls around!

Tw, Clinton was a Governor of Arkansas, and Obama is a Senator from Chicago. Which do you think is higher in rank? Duh!

Why can't people see that Obama is a copycat. He uses the lines of JFK, MLK, and even Ronald Reagan. It's always nice to hear words that can inspire us or make us dream, but Obama doesn't even have the track record that can prove he can do something. That he can actually make the change he's talking about. He said in one of his speeches that the next President can't make a mistake (because Hillary voted for the war in Iraq given the facts and circumstances), and then in one of his speeches again he admitted that achieving change will be difficult and there will be mistakes that will be made. I thought the next President can't afford to make a mistake???!!! Obama is just one ambitious man who wants to make a name in history. And he is African American. Even if he is downplaying or denying that this election is about race, at the end of the day it is about race. Majority of African Americans are unting against Hillary. Why can't White, Hispanics, and Asians unite for Hillary. I hope everyone will realize that Obama is not just qualified yet to be the next President. And men, please stop being chauvinists and accept the fact that women can be tough and can do the man's job.

I really don't understand why some democrats say they would rather vote for a republican than Obama. Him and Hillary are so similar in their views it makes no sense to me. The only rationalization is racism. How sad that you would rather vote for someone who vows to stay in Iraq as long as it takes even if its 100 years over someone who stands extremely similar on the issues to Hillary.

I would love someone to explain this rationale to me.

Think back to places like China, Germany, Russia, and Jonestown where followers were brainwashed by their so called demagogues. They too believed, it ended in their demise. No need I say more.

I sincerely hope that Obama, if he is the next president, surrounds himself with the best people he can find. people like his running mates Joe Biden, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson and even Hillary Clinton... Republicans, Democrats, independents, people from business and industry and science and the arts with a mind to change and grow this country in the right direction. Same with McCain if he gets in. we need bi-partisan collaboration to get things done, not partisan bickering and obstruction.

OBAMA can say anything and can getaway with that because he doesn^t get into controversies………………

LOOK AT Obama's voting record

IT^S SO EASY *******************"

YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN

NOTHING DONE……

AFTER 4 YEARS ….

YES WE CAN
YES WE CAN………………..

The President has so many advisors and intelligent people surrounding him that the experience factor is really an overrated issue. How many Presidents have we elected whose only experience has been at the state level. President Clinton, a great President, was the President of Arkansas! That's hardly representative of the entire nation. At least Obama has experience in the US Senate and would have a better base of knowledge to work with starting out on how to deal with issues in Congress than did President Clinton. So can we just get over the experience thing? I'm voting for Obama because I believe him to be a better leader and a stronger uniter than Hillary and after 8 years of Bush we need someone who can bring this country back together rather than drive it further apart.

Obama is by far the best candidate and has been the most consistent about the message he delivers even before Iowa. I don't agree with Mcains policy on Iraq, but at least I know where he stands on the issues. Hilary comes of disingenuous to me and I voted for Bill in the 90's who by the way Hillary supporters campaigned on the idea of change. After 8 years of bush we need change. Also understand that if Hilary wins that would make it at least 36 years that either a bush or a clinton was in the whitehouse, going back to George H. as VP. Doesn't sound very democratic to me. OBAMA 08

while you obama haters are still hating he's bringing the movement and a lot of people just don't want to see it. so if you are hating for whatever reason then u need to look at yourself . more than half of the peaople on hear posting comments don't even know the real issues.

It's ok, Texas Ohio Pennsylvania will all be good to Hillary. She is the only democratic canidate with substance. Just taking in tonight's comments by McCain show how his experience, like Hillary's, would outmatch Obama with ease in a general election.

Hillary 08'

In Texas White female 62 who knows you are the best person to lead our country back on the right track. GET ER DONE.

Obama brings something new to scene – a hope for a better tomorrow where all people matter – and together, we can be a better America. Wow...and doesn't that feel good to finally hear.

The time is now for us to be united and put a person in office that believes we can be better than we have been – I will take that kind of inspiration and hope any day of the week. Thank you Obama...godspeed to the presidency seat!

I sense there is a fear that Obama has a real chance to do something, that many are scared to see. U would think that the country is ready for the troops to come home, a change from these last dreadful 8 years. U would think any American would want better for this country. Obama represents that change. The "Clintons" have not said anything that hasnt been said before, where was Hilliary when she approved of the war.... a change is coming and the american people are finally opening there eyes and realizing the race and color of a canidate doesnt change the heart and demeanor of The Candiate.. We need a change.... Obama for 08

Obama is cerebral... very smart. we so need a unique intelligence at the beginning of this challenging century.

it is amazing that some people will not accept change. we allowed Bush to get in office for 8 years and screw up. Obama is bringing inspiration to America and that's what we as a people need to raise ourselves out of moral decay!! I pray God bless him mightily.

Listening at Obama is listening at Fidel Castro. Watch out people!!!
I am from Cuba (now living in Canada) and believe me we cubans have been living from 'hope' speeches for almost 50 years now yet getting LOTS of dissapointments.
Obama as President? I don't think so.
Obama as Snake Charmer? That's more like it!!!
My advice, keep it REAL and vote for Hillary!!!

I was disenfranchised today in Virginia. My vote for Hillary may not have made a difference, but I never got to cast it. Circumstances and the weather prevented me from getting to the polls. Change for the sake of change does not appeal to me. I want the smartest and most experienced candidate to be our next President, and that candidate is Hillary Clinton.

SEnior OBAMA,
THe best in the west. It looks like John McCain who appearing talking in the TV, it looks like he is reading screen. CNN do not show us the crowd. It looks like he is in the studio

fired up and ready to go.....yes we can....go barack go.....

I just watched his speech in Wi and it was surely focused on the issues and in line what the voters wanted addressed. It was impressive.

Obama is going to Washington and is taking all of us with him.This has been a long time coming.But it's here.We are going to have a president that is going to take care of our business;not his.You just got to love it.
OBAMA / 08

I hear him speak and it does absolutely nothing except make me feel like I did when I listened to George Bush. It's not a good feeling. It's unfortunate there are so many sheep in this country. Follow along with the crowd.
I find no substance in anything Obama says. Period.
My vote goes with Clinton or McCain and I am not alone.
One thing I have always been proud of is I NEVER do anything just because others are doing it.
It's a sad day to know most of Americans are sheep.

Kevin in OK:

Nice fear mongering there.

That seems to be in line with Hillary's campaign strategy, which is to divide and incite fear into voters.

OBAMA '08

Get on Obama's website and click on the issues link. You will find that not only does he have an extremely detailed plan for each issue, but also that there are more issues addressed and much more thoroughly so than on Senator Clinton's website. A friend recently told me that talk radio has caused this nonsense about Obama and I realize that he is correct. Again, my friends, read what has been made available.

Barack is just not ready. Felipe I agree with you, Barack is great preacher, someone needs to give him a church. But, our country needs someone who knows what they are doing and hope with no substance is just not enough. I want Barack to write me a check of HOPE so I can go try and cash it. Obama supporters, you all better wake up before it is too late. I would rather vote for McCain before I vote for Obama and I am democrate. I respect him and congradulate him but Obama, just take vice-president and let a professional take the lead. Hillary/Obama ticket is the way. Obama is still young. He has plenty of time to gain experience.

"Kevin in ok"

you must be stupid or something...if Hillary wins the nomination then I AM VOTING FOR WHOEVER THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IS TOO!!!

POW!!! TAKE THAT ONE LOL

You Hillary supporters make me laugh. You guys really are sore losers. As a woman myself, Hillary is not the right one too run this country. Obama will beat McCain, by the way anyone who insults someone the way McCain insulted Dana Bash fromm CNN today doesn't deserve to represent this country! So, Hillary supporters DEAL WITH IT!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama stands for truth in Washington, now that's a change I want to see! He is capable and trustworthy to do what he said he will do... but only with the support of the American people. He has my full support.

Whenever I listen to Mr. Obama, my heart begins to believe again. I have been praying for years for a time like JFK. I have been an American since 1980 and I have supported Carter, and Clinton. I respected Carter and loved Bil Clinton. But never before have I felt renewed as I do when I listen to Mr. Obama. I pray for him because I do believe that God has brought him to us at a time like this. He did not come: he was sent. He has my vote and I pray that God will bless him as He blesses America through hi. Go America. Yes we can.

Look at every fact and Obama is the only candidate for change! And all of you who say that if Obama wins, many Democrats will vote Republican, it's the same thing for Hillary. I'm a well educated female and I will NEVER vote for Hillary. NEVER. I'll write down McCain before I write her name.

RUMORS INDEPENTS AND REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA, BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS KNOW THAT THEY WILL BEAT HIM IN NOVEMBER, THIS IS A STRATEGY, JUST WATCH FOLKS ALL YOU BLIND OBAMA SUPPORTS I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FACTS DON'T MATTER ANYMORE

I will vote republican if I have to.
Obama is minister material, not presidential. Maybe in a few years, BUT NOT NOW............... We need someone who is ready. Hillary is, RIGHT NOW.

Experience? What experience does Hillary have? She is a junior senator from NY who failed at her chance for health care. If you take away her husband's presidency, Hillary has no more experience than Obama. Thus, I have one question for you: who are you voting for? Hillary or Bill....

Furthermore, do many of you need to be reminded that both Obama and Clinton play for the "same team"? Some of the comments and "tactics" employed by the Hillary camp (especially on the forums) is shameful.

Way to go, Obama!
"The cynics can no longer say hope is false."

I have been a Hillary Clinton supporter for quite some time now . After listening to Barrak Obama speak in Madison this evening moved me more into the realm of " yes we can " then I have ever been before . I am 62 years old & tonight I felt for the first time in more years than I choose to say , that we can make this country a country that gives it's people a chance once again . For the first time I realize just how much is possible if we were to have such a visionary as I saw this evening . Thank you America for thew process yo give us .
Noel

It was a big study in contrast to see CNN switch from Obama's speech to McCain's. Obama was in a packed arena with about 12,000-5,000 people, whereas McCain appeared on a podium with about 4 or 5 people surrounding him, and a considerably smaller audience than Obama (from the sound of the applause he was getting). And then of course was the message. I can sum up McCain's comments in 3 words: No, you can't- and I respond to them with 3 words of my own: YES WE CAN!!!

On the flip side, I know many people, including myself, who will not "vote with the party" if Hillary is the nominee, especially since McCain isn't as big of a threat as say a Ron Paul. If Hillary gets the nomination, I'm voting Green. And THAT is a reality. There are many Democrats who feel the same as I do. More to the point, as Barack has stated, he can get Hillary's supporters (which was evident in the exit polling tonight where he cut into these groups dramatically), but, can Hillary get his supporters? No. Lets move away from the oligarchical rule of the few and move towards the rule of the people!

sounds like sour grapes to me, Mary.

YES WE CAN!

Sylvia it is funny you say that. You must be a Hillary fan and the fact that he is wiping the floor with her will cause you to hate on a man that has a plan for the country in which you live in. It never seems to amaze me with people like you sylvia because if Obama was white I am sure the comment you posted wouldn't have been wrote. You are a racist bottom line and I am willing to bet you voted for BUSH. Wake up it's a new year and time for a new chapter.

I agree with Bob. Obama gives you a sense of hope and optimism the this country needs. It has been a long time since people felt this way. (Maybe the Kennedy years)

By She I of corse was referring to Hillary.

With Obama YES WE CAN!

glhf, do some more serious thinking and look at what obama has done for his own state of illinois.....hummm nothing look at the facts

How many people attended Obama's speech in Madison versus those who attended McCain's or Clinton's speechs tonight? It looked like there were 20,000+ at Obama's, probably 300 at McCain's and maybe 1000 at Hillary's. Does anyone know the crowd count?

Sylvia I'm sorry to read your not feeling well. Take another pill and check the results again and admit Obama does spread HOPE

Hillary is promising a $9.50 Minimum wage. This is totally irresponsible and misleading. You can't just make these kind of promises during a campaign. Imagine the impact to corporations and small businesses if the government mandated this type of pay rate. It would cause people to lose jobs, and companies to go under. It might also cause companies to lose profit and destroy the stock market.

Not well thought out
Poor judgement
Empty campaign promise
Sign of desparation

I live in Texas, and this is one of the most pro-business states in the country. Lots of small business owners and start ups. We need to attack this and call it irresponsible and get the media and economist to critique it. We can score big on this one.

"Obama is not what he has The Obama Zombies convinced he is…..STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID
look behind the curtain and ask……WHAT has he really said????
His speaches that you ZOMBIES keep drooling over belong to MLK and JFK
What makes you think OBAMA can do what he claims he can do when he cannot even write and speak something original???"

Do you realize in the middle of last year when he laid out all his plans, people said he wasn't being inspirational enough.

ITS.A.STUMP.SPEECH.IT'S.NOT.MEANT.TO.HAVE.SPECIFICS.YOU.MORONS!

Go RESEARCH his positions and you will FIND your answers. Stop calling us all zombies! jeez.

Hillary supports make me so mad, I feel like not even voting for her if she happens to win the primary. Do you honestly want to rip the Democratic party in two? because you're succeeding.

What I find funny is that Hilary supporters seem to always point straight to "Obama has no substance", "He's providing false hope", etc. as their first response to his supporters. What I don't understand about this is if Obama was only winning because he's a good public speaker, because his speeches are filled with many generalities, etc. then wouldn't Obama be the one carrying Hilary's exit poll numbers?

Hilary tends to carry the poor and the uneducated. Shouldn't those be the exact people that would be more persuaded based on mere words? Wouldn't they be the quickest to make choices with their heart instead of their heads?

I completely agree with 'NH" above. Why can't people think things through?
AND , if you go to the 2000 census in these states, the racial divide is there!
McCain is hitting Obama right now. I guess he is beginning his attack.

More cheerleading and that is about it for Obama.

He did not discuss what he plans to do about America's main problems:

Economy
Education
Bush's Wars
Health Care
Illegals

just for a few available topics

Things won't change in Michelle Obama's administration–she will run the White House like she runs Obama

I'm from WI and we are actually next in the primaries. It sure is nice to know that she don't care about us at all.

How sad that she started the TEXAS run when WISCONSIN IS NEXT!!!

Hillary is suppose to represent us ALL if she gets elected not just Texas, New York and California!

From the heart and from the real. That is why we dig Barack...

I wanted to hear the rest of the speech in Madison WI tonight. It switched over to McCain's live speech. Let's see it online.

Thank you for giving people hope. We need change in the government. I am white male. 62 year old.

Amy
I'm with you on that, lets make phone calls.

I am a 3rd generation republican and now a strong Republican for Obama and I am taking the whisper and shouting it load and clear to all my republican friends...several of whom have joined the cause. I have voted in every election since I was 18 years old, I am now 40, and I have never felt as much pride as an American, no republican or democrate, just American as I do standing for Obama.

I've done some serious thinking and I won't support Hillary's rovian tactics. I can't support McCain because of my difference with him on so many issues...that leaves Obama.

Wonder where we're on our way to? There's gonna be change, but no one is sure if that change is going to be good or not.

Obama is full of himself. He's more ambitious and manipulative than Clinton. At least she doesn't sell a bill of goods that she can't promise to deliver. Obama should be a minister and then he can spread his fairy dust of hope and unity to the people who need some imagined hero. DUMP OBAMA IN MARCH

Wow. Hillary supporters are people I don't understand. She's rude, commanding and unsportsmanlike. Expect more fits from her for this great loss.

Obama '08 – Support the real man.

all because he says the world "change" over and over.
I guess we really do gather around ourselves those who will tell us what our itching ears want to hear.
I honestly hope I'm wrong about this guy...for the sake of our country...I hope I'm wrong.
But, I have to stick with my logic...following my heart has hurt me too many times.

Mr. Obama, you have never mentioned "WHAT" change will you bring about in washington.

Don't get carried away with this sweet talk ppl. Talking lofty goals doesn't make someone a leader... much less a President.

The republicans would love to see Obama win the primaries so that he loses in the presidential elections!!!!!

I see no reason why the republican governer(SC) would tell people to vote for Obama!!!

Hillary '08

Thank you all for bringing us a leader who is good when we needed it the most. Obama.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.

lol@vote for Hillary.. for what ??? to throw a vote away... no thanks... I am going to vote for the next president of the United States...Barack Obama.

THE BEST CANDIDATE

yes we can
yes we can
yes we can
yyes we canyes we canes we canyes we canyes weyes we can canyes yes we canwe canyes we canyes we canyes we canyes we canyes we canyes we canyes we canyes we canyes we can

Hillary is the only one with real experience, because all you people voting for obama, you will make this country fall even further behind........Good Luck i am moving to canada...................Obama is all false hopes and lies, i say that because i saw him live and he contradicted himself and even changed position to what he had said on the california debate he is a liar and all you obama supporters need some serious thinking to do before you vote, and you also need to look at all the facts...............

The media is being to kind to Obama. He is simply getting a free ride. The media outlet is so scared to attack him and question him because of fear that they might be called racists. So instead the media is so positive, Obama must simply be a saint. Obama says a bunch of nothing and people applaud. The republicans cannot wait for him to win because they will not be as lenient as Hillary has been. They are going to pull out all the big guns and expose his lack of experience quickly.

Barack Obama, you may think you are on your way, but, if you do win the Democratic nomination (and that is a big if), I know MANY Democratic voters who will vote for whoever the Republican nominee is.

People need to quit being blindsided by Barack Obama. He is deceiving so many people. If people don't get behind Hillary Clinton, then we are going to have another 4-8 years of a Republican in office. Mark my words!

Vote for Hillary Clinton, and stop this blind fantasicsm of Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton all the way!

this is real folks, get used to it . . .

Yea, on your way to destroying a country – Naive fool!

The excitement building around the Obama campaign is palpable. Over the course of two weeks I sat in my eye doctor's office waiting for my turn to be examined. On each visit, spontaneous conversations broke out concerning the upcoming primary in Ohio. The thread that linked these conversations was the sense of optimism and hope whenever Obama was discussed. I can not remember the last time I felt so hopeful about the future of our country.

Wisconsin your up next , lets take back the people's White House , one State at a time.

YES WE CAN

Just when Obama speaks you can tell that the man is speaking from his heart. And that he is honest and he says it like he means it. He doesn't talk too political because for him it's about America not the politic game Hilary is trying to play. When Obama speaks he truly says it like he means it. While Clinton just says what people want to hear even though she doesn' t actually mean some of the stuff..

Obama 2008!

What's with the canned applause at the Obama Wisconsin Rally?

Obama is not what he has The Obama Zombies convinced he is.....STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID
look behind the curtain and ask......WHAT has he really said????
His speaches that you ZOMBIES keep drooling over belong to MLK and JFK
What makes you think OBAMA can do what he claims he can do when he cannot even write and speak something original???

We still will work for you Obama in Ohio, Texas, and PA. Show the Clintons that the only royal family exists in England. This is the United STATES of America!
