WHY DID SHE GO BROKE? WHY DID SHE NOT PAY FOR SERVICES IN IOWA AFTER THE ELECTION? WHY WONT SHE RELEASE HER TAX RECEIPTS LIKE OTHERS? WHATS SHE GOT TO HIDE? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER OVER 100 MILLION DOLLARS RAISED, DID SHE DIP INTO IT FOR PERSONAL PURPOSES/LUXURIES?

This man's program is all about Obama. I used to watch his show instead of Foxnews but it looks like he is now caught up in the same biased reporting against Hillary Clinton. This is disgusting.....I watched his show tonight and for almost 10 minutes, Keith went on and on and on about Obama. He even played Obama's advert on his show and still could not explain the relevance of the advert to his program. Can Keith Olbermann ever stop talking about Obama?

Another person switch after they compare candidates! It's not a racial issue. It's simply because Obama has demonstrated himself is a much better choice for American people!

If you have not see and herd, then I beseech you all to please just listen. Let the truth of each candidate's message ring true as the Liberty Bell rang true for our nation's Founding Fathers. Then as now, a critical moment existed, a moment of courage and a moment of hope, a moment of heroes, a moment of the people, and a moment for action. The moment is now to vote Barack Obama.

You most certainly are doing the right thing in backing Senator Barack Obama for President of The United States. Senator Obama, is the only candidate working hard to unite this country, and stop the deep divisions that exist in our society today. I definitely understand Obama's message! As clear evidence to the way and manner in which he has ran his campaign, he is no doubt a much better unifier and leader than Hillary Clinton, by far. And which candidate was the first to put out an attack ad on the other between the two in Ohio and Texas? Hillary of course! That's her style! Again, my vote in November, will be to move this country forward and NOT backward. I'll be voting for big change! Obama 08!!! Thank you John Lewis!

John Lewis is obviously catching so much heat from his constituents...around the fact that he is not supporting a black candidate. But....things like this can never be said by the media because then they would be racial. It really is the perfect storm this year for Barack. He's getting the racist vote from african americans...and he's getting the kid gloves, don't want to be called a racist treatment from the media.

The beginning of the superdelegate shift to Obama! They see the momentum of the Obama Freight Train, and want to do right by their electorate. After Wisconsin and Hawaii are won, he'll be seeing a whole lotta superdelegates shifting to him. And, just like always, when the voters in Texas and Ohio get to know him before March 4, he'll poll favorably there too in the nick of time. Obama is the bright future.
