She wants a debate once a week which is unrealistic. It is a fact that he has debated her 18 times and 2 more debates are planned. His position is that he needs to be out amongst the people so that they can get to know him and what his position is on many of the issues. He has stated many times that he is the underdog since the Clintons' have name recognition. I appreciate that he is taking the high road and is not bashing her to the extent that that she want to bash him. Neither candidate should show Desperation by using underhanded tactics and negativity which is a typical trademark of the Clintons'. May the best man win!

Therefore, I voted for Hillary Clinton and contributed to her campaign. This was the first time that I've ever contributed to anyone's campaign. I honestly do not believe that Mr. Obama is the right person for President at this time. I've done a lot of thinking, listening, and research, and I have come to the conclusion that I will vote for the Republican nominee (probably John McCain) for the first time in my life IF Mr. Obama is nominated.

The shamefull clintons will do and say anything to get attention. CAN'T THEY GET IT? THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF AMERICA Mr. OBAMA, has no time for no productive debates with loser Billary, Senator OBAMA as better to do, meeting voters listening to them and talking to them. Meeting parents, familly members and veterants of the unpopular Iraq war that Billary Clinton voted for to sand Americans DIE FOR A LIE. It's clear, Billary Clinton in need of media coverage prefers runing non prodactive debates, runing away from people who are asking her questions about how cruel and cold hearted she is voting for a war to send Americans DIE FOR A LIE. Hillary is running away from families who have their sons, daughters, dads, moms deployed in Iraq, while senator Obama is meeting them and dealing with veterans and mutilated from the WAR SHE VOTED for. I wonder if the Clintons know how does it feel to have a partent deployed in Iraq, praying every day that no army personel shows up at your door to bring you a bad news. Hillary please get it once for all, go face those families whose members you sent to DIE FOR A LIE, what plan do you have for those IRAQ WAR veterans and thousands of familes who have lost their loved ones? rather than bieng in dire need of media coverage and going negative on OBAMA., tell us how do you feel about the toll of AMERICANS SOLDIERS WHOSE LIVES ARE BEING TAKEN BECAUSE OF WISEDOM AND POLITICAL CALCULATIONS ??????

She backed out of one on MSNBC because an anchor made a mean comment, so she had to pout about it (she could have played up her mother role more, had she debated...then she could have loudly stated at the start of the debate her reasoning for initially wanting to back out, Women would have LOVED that). Obama is actually CAMPAIGNING in every state, as opposed to Clinton who has adopted the Brilliant Guiliani strategy of putting all her eggs in one basket. Obama has debated her plenty. The American People have responded, and he is now the frontrunner. Two more debates is PLENTY. One before Texas, one before Pennsylvania.

Hillary Clinton outsizes Barak Obama in the many issues she can articulate based on her deep experience. There are few people who know health care better than Hillary, and Obama's not one of them. In foreign policy, she takes the cake and has world leadership credibility. Unfortunately, for Obama he can't measure up to her experience and ability to be ready on day one. Period.

FYI, CNN posted entries pro-Obama. But if it is pro-Clinton, CNN will not think twice to allow it.

Alexander Mooney and Chris Welch, how much did the Obama camp paid you?

Obama is wise to be wary, he is earning his votes by campaigning in every state, not ignoring any because they are "not important". Hillary is desperate.

Just talk won't do. You can skip votes and vote "present" in state legislations, but not as a president. He is obviosuly scared of debating HRC on specifics. Obama is a big talking liberal who is going to give in to terrorists demands. He thinks he can sit down and have a civilized discussion with Ahmedinajad and people like him. It shows how naive he is.

You are here "participating" in a political discussion but you don't take the initiative to do your homework? Morons! Is it because you just don't want to know? Anyone who wants to learn the specifics of Obama's plans for the country issue by issue, can (always could) go to his website and get extensive detail. When your ready to know the truth...go here: barackobama.com. But many of you don't/or won't...lemmings, lemmings, lemmings. Don't knock him if you haven't bothered to do your homework. OBAMA 08 BECAUSE HE DOES HAVE REAL SPECIFIC PLANS, PLANS HE CAN AND WILL CARRY OUT! AND WE WILL KEEP HIM ACCOUNTABLE, AND HE WILL WELCOME THAT! NATIONAL HEALTH CARE...I THINK I HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE ..OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, HILLARY PROMISED IT OVER A DECADE AGO. I KNOW, I KNOW, SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH BILL IN THE OVAL OFFICE WITH THE CIGAR AND ALL...WAS SHE TOO BUSY RUNNING THE COUNTRY? WELL SOMEONE SHOULD TELL HER SHE MISSED THE OSAMA BIN LADEN THREAT RESULTING IN 911. THERE WOULD BE NO WAR IF SHE AND BILL HAD DONE THEIR JOB RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. EXPERIENCE???? WE NEED TRUE, TRUSTWORTHY LEADERSHIP! OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW... OBAMA 08!! One more point, for those of you out there blabbering about Obama specifics, you enrage me!

If Hillary is claiming she garnered vast experience as the "First Lady" to the point of proclaiming her ability to be "Commander in Chief," then has she not already fulfilled this position? Does she possess experience as the US President, which essentially bars her from running the for Presidency, again? If her experience is not as extensive, then why is she arguing that Obama lacks experience (coincidentally, Obama has more experience in this primary season than Bill Clinton when Bill ran in 1992).

Obama is about 1000 times better at making a speech and motivating everyone versus her cackle of garbage that she spews when she speaks. She is done. Her ad does point out one thing to me.
