America is lost and it will not be found,if we pick a wrong person.
Senator Hillary Clinton is the right person for the job. Please love your country not Senator Obama Barak,Opra Winfry and celebrities.

Please try to do thing right because it is right and not do thing wrong because you feel right .

We made a big mistake to elect President Bush and we have no time
left to make another mistake. Many countries in the world hate us and
want to detroy us , i beleive Senator Clinton can handle them not Senator Barak,Obama.Please wake up.

i'm from Toronto Canada and a recent poll showed that many Canadians would give up there vote in order to vote in your election.

Another poll showed that people in Canada favoured Obama over Clinton.
not just here but in Europe to.

Just do the everyone a favour.. no more Republicans, i don't think are world can handle anothere unsubstantiated war.

Hillary Clinton needs to grow up, I mean she is acting like she is in grade school "im loseing and i dont know what to do so ill just start makeing little silly comments about my opponent". You know what im an african american women and she had my support at one point but now she is showing me that when times are ruff and things are not going her way she is going to cry and say ridculous things about Obama. You think i want to see her in the white house after these liltle antics, if she cant keep it together now she won't be able to in that white house. At this moment Hillary is showing all her weaknesses and she needs to be showing women like me who once looked up to her that she won't crack under pressure shes strong and when times are tuff she can handle herself, keep her head up and focus on leading a strong campign. Hillary Grow Up!!!!!

HI, Guys, It is not the matter how much we like Obama. It is the matter how much we dislike Hillary. She claimed that she is most experienced candidate. Look what she did as first lady when her husband in white house. She submitted universal health care plan which was totally defeated and she never made any progress in health care reform during her husband's tenure. She spent most her time to defend her husband misbehavior in Whitehouse and charged republican as vast right wing conspiracy. The fact is clear that her husband is always a trouble maker. She moved to New York just want to seizure the opportunity of being a senator so I can have a chance to be elected president. Look her eyes when she gave a speech to attack Obama. It look like a devil's eye. I sometime wonder how can Bill has slept with her for so many years. That is scary. Probably that is why Bill has to sleep with other girls, such Jennifer flower to have stress relieve. I believe the notion, eight years Clinton is enough. We need fresh blood. Obama is the right one.

The elected officials in MI messed up and didn't follow the rules – therefore we have to live with our decision. I read many of the blogs and why are the democrats so divided?? By both senators own admission their plans are similar and can fix what's broken in America. However, I do have some major issues with Senator Clinton. One she could not see through President Bush's tactics and voted for the war – HUGE mistake! Second she is running her campaign similar to the "good old boys" of the past – tear your opponent down to distract people from what really matters (i.e. high unemployment, recession, unjust war, etc...). Third, she seems to be struggling with managing her own campaign (i.e. she didn't know she was low on cash & she constantly changes her platform); she doesn't seem to have a good handle on things. For these reasons, I hope I have an opportunity to vote for Senator Obama in the general election in Nov. – I believe he is what Americans need at this point in time in our history. A CHANGE!!!

Should we be talking about Experience or Wisdom. I believe WISDOM – that comes from above. We trusted President Bush, as a former governor and a son of a former President but see where it has gotten us. This is why Americans have decided for a change – Obam. The people have spoken and the voice of the people are the voice of GOD.
GO Obama!!!!!!!

CNN's polls have been very unreliable to date. The media (particularly CNN) is trying to pick Obama as our Democratic nominee because he is more newsworthy. Most likely they will start asking about what he has accomplished and whether there is any substance to his plans when it is too late for us, after they suckered us into turning our backs on Hillary Clinton. That will make it all too easy for McCain and 4 more years of Republican obstructionism and Court appointments.

What is wrong with using words that have truth? Does it really matter where it came from? Truth is Truth. Time after time we use each others words. Who said we could not repeat what others said. Tell me what word in the human language is copyrighted? How many Bible scriptures are spoken each Sunday without a mention of it’s’ author? Words are spoken for the moment, with precise timing surround by other words or phrases to enter into the hearts and souls of people. I thought I heard Senator McCain say “I’ am fired up and ready to go? When I heard that I smiled. By the way, did he say where he got it from – right away? Does it really matter? Did he not capture the moment?

It is awful that you guys hate the Clintons so much; is it because they are so smart. If you guys will stop talking and let the voters talk; it would be great. It is obvious that you want Mcclain to win rather than a smart, strong lady. We need a woman to clean up the damage of the man in the Whitehouse now. During the Bibical days, remember that it was a woman who told Jesus' disciples that he had risen, thus a woman was the first one to preach the gospel, the men were all hidden and afraid.

Hillary's up by 2 points but it's a "dead heat". If it were Obama above by 2 points, the headline would read "Obama leads in Texas!". CNN and the rest of the press is so Obama-biased this year, it's not even funny. It's so obvious.

Hillary took much of her rhetoric from her husband, from Obama, from "experts," from the Republican who attacked Deval Patrick, from her OWN speechwriters, etc... Does she have to "quote" every single source she uses? Isn't the very idea of speechwriters (or in the case of her autobiography, ghostwriters) without credit a form of plagiarism? I never heard a single political speech where every single source was quoted. Wouldn't it be boring to list authors and titles of every study that a politician would quote to reinforce their political programs? The idea of plagiarism in politics, unless quoted word-for-word, without credit or permission, is pretty much non-existent. I'm sure one could dip oneself in a vat of Hillary speeches with sources pulled from elsewhere. Every sane American realizes how thinly veiled her desperation is. - An indie who will vote and caucus against Hillary in TX

A house divided will fall. Definitely the Democratic Party is divided because of the two candidates. I am from a country far off in the Pacific and always follow the US Elections.

My view is that the Clintons have been in the Whitehouse before and they must now share the American dream with other Americans. Rather than competing she should humbly step down and let the party unite around Obama coz Obama can unite compared to the Clintons.

This is if they want to win the next presidential elections. Otherwise the Republicans will hold onto power for the next 4-yrs.

OBAMA! please don't be distracted by the Clinton's strategy. What she is doing is what people do when they are drowning; trying to grasp anything within reach. From being a Moslem, to just words but no actions and no plagiarism. Clinton should wake up and embrace the reality. She is not as popular as Obama without Bill. Obama made his name, Clinton is just a lurking on the shadows of Bill.

I didn't see a place for comments regarding Michelle Obama's remarks about for the first time in her adult life being "Really Proud" of the United States. Lou Dobbs and his cronies need to wake up!!! Ask any African American with half a back bone if they have always been "Really Proud" of this country. There is so much this country has to be ashamed of with regards to slavery, civil rights, unbridaled prejudice, etc., is it any wonder that this particular turn of events finally gives us something to be rejoice about.. Of course I would never expect Mr. Dobbs to get that. Try walking a mile in our shoes and then ask her to "Explain Herself." In my life time I have certainly heard far worse and 99% of the time we are simply told to "Get Over It". What a joke. Could you please find something of substance to investigate like Senator Clintons poor money management in this campaign. Is that a sign of what we can expect if she is elected???

Ok, some of you people are just silly. Does a president have to take tests or right papers? Plagerism should not be in a President's vocabulary. Any President should take the advice and good ideas of anyone who has them.

Wondering about where a good idea from is missing the point that its a good idea. Obama is right that this is no big deal.

Both campaigns –Obama and Clinton are doing their best to win. But trying to win at all cost is what I don't like, just like Hillary Clinton is trying to hold on to anything or say anything just to get down Obama, who is an intelligent leader to listen to, with his all embracing policies. I think Hillary Clinton needs to grow up, and focus on the issues, and not just raising any kind of dust like a kid to get elected. I have finally come to the conclusion that I can never vote for her as a democrat, even if she succeeds in winning the nomination of the party, which I don't think she will. Enough of all those I must win at all cost tactics. I am fed up with the clintons.

I have not seen one sign for Obama in this whole area, which covers 168,000 people. Come to think of it haven't seen one in the town I work in either, which is about 250,000 residents, but Hillary Clintons are. Hmm I wonder who does these polls.

How petty can they be? Looking for reasons to undermine Barack Obama confirms my belief that a change is needed in the White House. We are seeing the real Hillary Clinton. Senator Clinton has borrowed words from Senator Obama and used them in her speeches. Did she get his permission? This experience is teaching us something about Senator Clinton's character instead of Senator Obama's character.

TXNS for Hillary, you and your candidate seem desperate. If Obama was behind and trying to use states that the party had agreed to wave their delegagtes to catch up, you and all the Hillary supporters would have been crying foul. That's just why you can't trust them. Same thing in Nevada about having caucuses at the casinos. They agreed over a year ago to have them at casinos and since caucuses turned out to favor Obama then they wanted to take it to court to cry foul. It just make them look cheap and desperate, willing to do anything to get a vote. And to all you who feel that if Obama is the candidate, you will vote for McCain, he deserves you and all of your pathetic, petty, untrustworthy votes. You all are just what the educated under 50 are trying to rid ourselves of. The same ol gray headed meanderings and babbles of the out of touch with reality society. I "HOPE", I "BELIEVE" I want "CHANGE" YES WE CAN, YES WE WILL------ GO "O"

My question is : This rules were created just for this primaries?
Did we knew that the so called super delegates could vote for just any body they please?
Did Mr. Obama was informed of this rules?
Why he is criying now?
Or he likes just everything that goes his way?

What abaot the blue america against the red america and that he wants a United state of America? He took it from THE MAN OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From one American to another Obama can borrow any lines he wants to from fellow friends.

Give it up Clinton, I bet you're afraid to ask for a cup of sugar from your neighbors for the sake of not looking weak.

Notice that when Hillary wins, it's only by a few delagates, but when Obama wins it's by a LANDSLIDE...

Keep it clean, Clinton camp, no one is dumb enough to get disqualified for a foul. Your nasty swipes are going to, if they already haven't, into trouble.

When will CNN start to really treat Obama the same way they treat Hillary. Hillary is right Obama is all just words and now they are not even his own. He will say anything to get elected. Let's see CNN ask him the question during this weeks debate how he told the Iowa voters that he is in favor of the 2nd Amendment yet signed papers in support of gun control. Did the Iowa voters know that before they supported him. And what a joke Idaho a state full of so many white supremist type folks that they vote for Obama. America wake up.

Keri in Texas: You ask: Can Obama stand up in "the adult world of rough and tumble politics?" Your logic suggests that McCain will run a tougher campaign against Obama than Clinton has. If this is true, my question to supporters of Clinton is this "Why has she not run a campaign to win?" "Why has she not run an 'adult' 'rough and tumble' campaign?" I would expect no less of my candidate. My belief is that she has run a 'rough and tumble' campaign and Obama has done quite nicely. I think his message, though you try hard to trivialize it (which is sad and pathetic), is one that Americans are yearning to hear. It is a message that will bring us together and inspire us to roll up our sleeves and do the hard work that needs to be done.

I had to divide my post in 2 parts (now 3!) as I was not able to come through with all the text!
====================

And once it is confirmed that OBAMA (who will win also North Carolina and other open states) will have a large majority of pledged delegates,
droves of super-delegates will flock to him or abstain, and not support
the seating of Florida and Michigan flawed delegates.

And so, the Clintons would be history out !

Those that suggest they will vote for McCain if Hillary is not elected are fools – plain and simple. These are the type of people who view politics as a game, and less about shaping a nation.

Examine the policies of both Dem. candidates. It does not take an academic to figure out that they are similar – yet you will vote for McCain instead?

Obama will win Hawaii by 20%

Maybe Texas should take a look at the bill Obama help introduce that would pledge 865 BILLION dollars to the UN for Global Poverty, none of which the USA is eligable for. Ofcourse that would come from a tax increase. We have a mortgage crisis here and we owe China zillions of dollars, yet we are going to spend 865 billion to foreign countries?

I just think its funny that the HRC supporters shake their fists at Obama, saying, what has he done! When have words changed the world?! Thats when I grab a history book and ask, how many examples do you want? You see, the reality is that our greatest heros, people who have changed the world, often had little experience in politics or as a agent of change, but they did have a way with words. But today people say, "how can you vote for Obama, he hasn't done much he just speaks well" (first off, Hillary hasn't done much more *on her own*) and I say "when evaluating if someone has the capacity to change America and possibly the world do you ask if they have already done it?" of course not, because then there would be no need to elect them. Washington had never defeated the world's greatest Military force to establish a free democracy, Lincoln hadn't freed an oppressed people before he was elected and FDR hadn't defended America from the tyranny of a evil dictator before he was elected
