I saw the interview and what you have written is totally untrue. I think you have been hanging around Hillary too long. Rechi: You are a liar.

I don't think that will be the case in November, unless it's Clinton vs. McCain. Too many times Americans have been presented with a "lesser of evils" dilema.

Wake up America! Go to obama.com, educate yourself. Obama has just as much substance! This whole image of the "no substance"guy is created by the media! Don't fall for it! Why is it that so many people with higher education vote for him (and I am not saying this to disrespect anyone - I know many people with higher education also vote for Hillary) - but my point is: they ususally take some time to inform themselves. They found out that Obama has indeed very specific and concrete plans - and they make sense!! Plus he is inspiring!! So stop this nonsense talk! Vote for whoever you consider the best candidate but stop trying to diminish Obama!!!

Hats off the the Democrats to be the first party to place "people's" choice above Corporate choice. I wish both Clinton and Obama the best of luck, cause the way I see it, no matter who wins, we all win. Nice to be your neighbour. I have not stopped watching your primarys with great interest :o) If I may comment, and if I had the vote, I would vote for Hillery, only because I believe Americans would benefit her years of experience and her ability to be accountable. Very nice qualities for a future President. Sandie Gee Canadian here :o ) I must say how impressed I am at the close race between Clinton and Obama.

Virginia Republicans are voting for OBAMA. In the state of Virginia Republicans and Dems are able to vote in the primary either party. They are voting for Obama today because as they told me, my husband and several friends, "Hillary is the threat." Their candidate has been mathematically confirmed and it is their belief Obama will not take McCain. If you are a Sen.Hillary Clinton supporter you have chosen correctly. Numbers don't always tell the truth. What a brilliant threat she is!! Never Give Up!!! Hillary'08 Well my suspicions may be true.

She specifically stated that she did not 'celebrate' over projected wins. She said that she preferred to wait until all of the tallies were counted. She also said that they had a difficult race ahead and that they probably would do well today, but she did not brag about being in the White House. She was asked if she was ready to take her position as First Lady if her husband became President. She said that she was 'up to the task' ; that she views it as an honor, a privilege and a great opportunity====very humble tone in my opinion. She is a confident, intelligent, warm and gracious lady. WHO WOULDN'T WANT HER IN THE WHITE HOUSE? ONLY SOMEONE WHO HAS THE WRONG ISSUES IN THE FOREFRONT OF THEIR THINKING. THE OTHER 'POSSIBLE' FIRST LADIES CERTAINLY PALE IN COMPARSION TO HER.

These are qualities that I have not seen since the John F. Kennedy administration. January 2009 I will be a proud American!

The internet has a huge potential to transform the political dynamic, but slogans on this site are nothing more than virtual bumper stickers. They cause us all to disregard reading other's posts, and squander opportunities to have a real discussion. Is anyone's opinion swayed by anything said, or is this just a forum to vent? Forget the exclamation points, find your caps lock key, and grow up. Does anyone on the site ever read the other comments, or is it just a propaganda vehicle?
