Mc cain just won my vote ...no obama

Let me guess...

Is this all part of a "vast left-wing conspiracy" against you now, Hillary?

HA!

Listen to what America is trying to tell you, Hill:

WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER CLINTON WHITE HOUSE!

TO DAVID –

Maybe so but the other candidates are no better or to say the least MUCH worse. They have been there much longer. So I guess we are all screwed...

Is that the point you wanted to make??? That we are all screwed??

As a Clinton supporter, I must admit, it is looking grimmer, and grimmer. I guess I should keep HOPE alive, but that would probably be as substantive as Barack's speeches.

CNN WORLD NEWS: "11 CLEAN SWEEP UNDER THE RUG FOR HILLARY" - hIp, hip, horay!!!

PRESIDENT OBAMA '08

why won't you let me link that article...someone above says Hillary has a better resume, and that article is actual info to base that judgement on.

Hello Obama,

Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go
You can do and you are doing wonderful job, you will be president of United State O America.

Truly,

To Anon/Anonymous: Tell Hillary that pulling a Guliani will not work period!! and John McCain should clear his name first before the general election... I predict a situation where he will drop out... NY Times knows more than they are revealing. Hard to believe, WATCH!

Obama '08

This thing is about over. The people are done with the Clinton brand of politics.

To: David at 3:39 P.M.

If all the garbage you just spit out is true of Obama, it pales in comparison to what the Clintons have done and are still doing.

GO OBAMA 08 and 12..

Hey CNN, why no stories on the federal civil rights lawsuit filed recently in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota against Obama? The case is entitled Sinclair v. Obama (Case No. 0:08-cv-00360-JMR-RLE). I understand that the case relates to Obama's continued pattern of cocaine use, including during his tenure in the Illinois legislature. If the McCain story is fair game, why is this story not being pursued?

Although I didn't vote through Democrats Abroad (I voted by absentee), I am very proud to see that Obama won the international vote. I am stationed in South Germany and I can see personally the negative effect that U.S. politics have in this world and how they affect the perceptions of non-Americans who seem to dislike me personally because of our wonderful president. I cannot wait for our country to become united so by the time I return in 2011, I can be eager to see policies changed and the TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN once and for all.

Mr. Obama check out the reality!! Be pracitila! changing every city, state!!! ha ha ha
First change yourself!!!!

Just so you know, i tried to attach an article that shows the two senators' records over their last year in the senate. Apparently cnn doesn't like real news, just stuff about affairs, butcher murders, campus murders, and comparing politics to boxing.

To: Laura

Best what, may I ask? Best liar, best cheater, best Control Freak, best Power Hungry person next to her husband.

These people are so funny and full of themselves!!!!!!!

This does say a lot about the fact that Obama has an amazing way of touching people everywhere. Hillary: PLEASE DON'T DRAG THIS OUT. IT'S OVER!

Someone needs to guide her out of denial. Someone needs to explain to her that she and Bill have started to chip away at his legacy. He actually wasn't a bad president. But no one wants him (or her) back. And they have shown their true, self-serving, manipulative, stale colors in this campaign. The voters started by whispering. Then speaking. Then yelling. And now just plain screaming, "WE WANT CHANGE!!!!!!" We are tired of the same old stuff. We want REAL change. The kind that serves everyone. Hillary isn't a bad person. But she is not right at this time in America. Although she would be a step or two up from George W., we need miles up from him. WE NEED AN OVER HAUL AND BARACK OBAMA WILL DELIVER JUST THAT!

Anon George W Bush was as experianced as they come, and look what you Republicans did to the US. Experiance is NOT the most important thing. Thats what advisors are for.

oh well that's it then. Four more years of inept leadership and the USA slipping into an economic quagmire.

But hey! at least the Europeans will like us again!!

Also, Obama's got the media campaigning for him EVERYWHERE– he is the media Prince. It has nothing to do with people voting for whose more experienced it has to do with what add they liked the best - he is advertised EVERYWHERE!

Hilliary '08 –
We're with you girl!

That's right Laura finally someone talking about something that makes sense, instead CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE, its old get a new slogan. Also what is he going to do or what has he done thats right NOTHING!

with OBama, good luck america!. America will be an other Banana republic..........

To: Hillary 08:

And what exactly does your DA comment mean?

The way each candidate has run their campaigns is probably a reasonably good view into how they would run their administrations. Clinton was arrogantly sure that she would breeze to the Democratic Party nomination as the annointed one. Hillary's entire early campaign focused on the Republicans, because she was so sure she was her party's choice. Even when Obama started looking like he might challenge her in the elections, her organization was slow to respond to the new threat. By not recognizing the rapid changes in the political environment, and responding to them with effective counter-maneuvers, Hillary finds herself in a position for which she can only blame herself and her own organization. She didn't listen. She didn't pay attention to the variables and the changes happening around her. Finally, after getting beaten badly in a series of primaries, she changed her campaign manager. Too little, too late. It makes me wonder how effective HIllary would be on the world stage, and in her conflicts with the Republicans.

The world is, these days, a mercurially changing, and constantly politically-realigning place. So are American politics. The Republicans have shown themselves to be masters at out-maneuvering their opponents, and generally staying one step ahead of those who would do them harm. The same goes for leadership around the world. If Hillary cannot fend off the campaign maneuvering of a young upstart who she has said herself "doesn't have enough experience to be effective" how can we expect her to be an effective president? For those who say, in the context of Texas, that Obama is, "All hat and no cattle" I would submit that Hillary has had the ranch bought out from under her before she even knew the thing was up for grabs. Whether or not you think Obama is the one who should be our next president, consider carefully what Hillary hasn't been able to accomplish, even before she's warming the seat in the Oval Office.

I am absolutely shocked..? you mean we have (expatriates) living outside of the country and can vote...? Russia, Ukraine..? I do not understand, can someone fill me in as why these Americans are living in 33 countries...? I know if you are transplanted for business reasons (1-1 1/2 year) but am I to understand that these folks have just left the USA for another country..? don't mean to sound ignorant, but just don't have the facts....and how many of these people do we have in these 33 countries..? Thanks

, THIS IS THE WAY I SEE THINGS PLAYED AND PLAYING OUT . Hillary's dream is turning into a nightmare every time she tries to USE
people one her husband , a long time ago before they were married
he was part of her master political plan. Also a great person and President. Then thing happened ,
but now her plan
Got back on so-called track thing are happening again , NOW two it’s the Mexican, Spanish, she claim
To want to help , Just to get their votes CHECKMATE.

P.S. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MICHELLE OBAMA, BUT I HAVE BEEN PROUD OF MY COUNTRY MY ENTIRE LIFE; AS A CHILD, A TEEN, A SOLDIER, AN ADULT. WHY ISN'T THE MEDIA JUMPING ON THAT COMMENT?! THIS WHOLE THING IS A FARCE. THE MEDIA HAS GIVEN THIS MAN A FREE RIDE. WAIT UNTIL THE REPUBLICANS GET TO HIM.

it's really sad when i see in these blogs people's comments that have no substance or blindly following their candidates' negative, untruthful ads. a very good example is anon's comments above. obviously, this person do not research for himself the truth about BHO's records, which are open to the public.

Sen. Obama has accomplished much more in both his pro bono work on behalf of the people in illinois and in the senate. He either sponsored or co-authored 820 bills in the senate in a matter of two years. he has experience with helping to solve people's problems in his state. he has worked (and continue to work) across the aisle in the senate, it doesn't matter whether you're a republican, a democrat or an independent, better yet, whether you're white, black, asian, or native american, as long as everyone can work together towards a common goal. this is leadership.

Senator McCain is not independent in every sense of the word. Never has been. He was my hero in the 70s when he was a "guest" in Hanoi Hilton and he still is my hero today. However, i have to set that sentiment aside and think of what's good for our country.

my having said all of the above, i'd suggest that you educate yourself with facts first before you spew off untruths.

I love to watch OBAMA speak , as he says the truth and the truth will set us all free, to be a united country again as a Country divided will not stand! OBAMA inspires all the people that are looking for Justice for all and HOPE for the Poor in our Country, no matter the color of your skin, it is time for a Goverment that
is clean and not full of corruption as we have now! When I listen to OBAMA and His Wife speak, I am full of HOPE and beleive
He will get this Country back on track. CLINTON speaks, I see
a Heart of stone and not being led by any one but herself, she
is not for the people,,,,,,,,,,,she is for herself, She even said, She
did not think every STATE was important, PEOPLE are IMPORTANT, PEOPLE is what makes our Country so great, we
have to get united!
Thank You for listening.

Is it me, or does it seem as if the "press" has now put their own "backing" of a candidate? It sure seems that they have their won agenda as to where it all goes. They are calling winners before polls close, every 30 minutes there is another story about what else has been won, when in fact nothing has been won yet.

You know sometimes there really isn't any skeletons in the closet! Go Obama!

Lots to like at home and abroad.

John McCain himself admits he did some very shady things... perhaps we should listen to what he had to say in his memoir. You cannot come out all high-and-mighty and then refuse to answer for things that you have done and ADMITTED TO in your own past. Lets "get real".

American citizens who live abroad are of course allowed to vote. I lived overseas for many years due to jobs etc.., but pay my taxes every year. So why are we not allowed to vote, seeing that we have to make a living wherever the job takes us. Anyway, most of us overseas tend ot have a broader view of the world and able to see more clearly how the country has been damaged over the last years. We look forward to a new day with someone who's not from the same-old, same-old. We respected Bill during his years, but Hillary is NOT Bill, and for that matter, her divisiveness will not help bring us back to good times. That's why most of us are hoping for Obama to lead us.

WHITE LIBERAL GUILT WINS AGAIN!

Experience is everything. Look at the resumes of the Democratic candidates, afterall we are not just voting we are actually HIRING the next President of the United States. Hillary Clinton, by far ,has the better resume. We're with you all the way Hillary!

democrats on the moon and outerspace.
casted their votes and Hillary won 75% to 24% Obama, with 1% going to Dilbert.

whoo hoo!

Rock on Hillary!

Hey Westcoast Manager, you and Hillary have been getting not only egg but quiche in your face 10 times in a row. You and Hillary need to get some more target practice. And the excuse of the media anointing him is bull! Black men have been getting bad media coverage before Jesus was born, so there must be something special about him that attracts the people of not only the US but the world abroad .

OBAMA 08-2016!

HC should pack it in. I'm not against a female president but the Clintons are bad for America. They disgraced the Whitehouse once and they'll do it again. They'll bring on all their cronies and rob the country blind. She speaks of her "experience". She was the wife of a president – not the president. She was a carpetbagger in NY to get to the senate. The Clintons are not interested in the US but rather what the US can do for them. Listen to Dick Morris – he knows them best of all. What about the Rose Law Firm, travelgate, her cool profit she made on her investments, the controversy with the Jewish community when she ran in NY. Those are her "35 years of experience" that she brings to the table. Obama in '08

I'm waiting to see how Obama handles it if it should be a Obama/McCain race.

Obama's speeches will mean nothing and he will never be able to stand up to McCain. I guess, we will be in-store for another 4-8 years of Republican rule........grrrrrrrrrrr

Obama would be smart to have an Obama/Clinton ticket if he truely wants the Democratic Party to be in-charge and fulfill his dream of change.

I keep saying – check out his lobbiest who ran his NH campaign – they were lobbiest for Pfizer. He also had his good friend Rezko indicted and Obama was caught pushing bills that were in his friends favor. Obama also purchased a home for 300K less than it was valued – who does he owe favors to? Not to mention that the Kennedy's are going to expect payback for all the support they gave him.

Shaking my head at the clueless Obama supporters who are expecting things to change. Nothing is going to change.

Oh, and don't be surprised when Obama starts to bring troops home and then 'suddenly' has to change course and keep them there longer.

are the delages updated for Obama??

GO OBAMA, WE IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS LOVE YOU
YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED. YOU CAN AND WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN
GO OBAMA, GO MICHELLE

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Thank you sir may i have another

I don't understand the democrats delegates. I mean I understand it but I don't GET it. Obama wins with over 60% and still gets the same amount of delegates as Clinton. What a crock.

IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE..........OBAMA 2008

Pack up your bags, Hillary.... You're about to lose, but I suppose we'll have to listen to your shrill and whiny complaints.

GO OBAMA

For all the ranters warning about the "Obama kool-aid," I keep seeing the same comments over and over again about Hillary's "experience" (actually 7 years in elected office vs. 11 years for Obama) and her ridiculous "all hat and no cattle" comment. Who's drinking kool-aid now? Perhaps if she stuck to the issues she'd have a fleeting chance at getting the people's attention. Unfortunately, she's been giving the same speech since 2006, and with the recent writers' strike, we've grown tired of reruns.

Expats truly have their fingers on the international pulse! Obama is the candidate most likely to improve foreign relations and unite our country as well!

You Obama people are really pathetically stupid. You all act as if he is going to go to the White House and be Superman and change everything. This is NOT a football or baseball game. It's been CNN and other newstations acting like William Randolf Hearst.

My wife and I are voting for McCain is Hillary doesn't pull out the stops in Ohio and Texas. If Obama winds up winning the presidency all I can say is don't come crying to the rest of us who knew better when your golden child fails to deliver.

God bless you Hillary -

fire it up, ready to go! obama "08

Wow, I would also say that nothing in the world can prepare you to become a president, it is about character, intellect, and the ability to have a vision, you can have plans and ideas, but the reality is, this world is dynamic, and you need a thinker in office, you need a person who can think on their feet, unlike people like Clinton and Mccain that live in a static world, Obama seems ready for any challange, that is why the slogan, YES WE CAN!!! fits well for him, he will always have a vision for the people of America, so any decision he makes will have a stronger foundation than a person who does not believe in words, ideas or even hope!!

who cares if they are expatriots! just another signal that he is the One!

Even across the ocean they're tired of the clinton's and bush's running america into the ground!

Obama is awsome. He has my vote ! We need something new.

ps I am a life long republican!

The world and Americans in overseas 're testifying as well..that's a good reason to elect president Obama this year...

Texas...that same reporter was asked to give examples of other elected officials past work in an off-camera interview, or the part of the interview that was edited for self-serving purposes, and he was not able to do so.

I applaud Obama for not lowering himself to HRC's tactics. He is change just in the way he runs his campaign.

Obama '08!

The band wagon is not always a good thing. Things in the past where everyone jumped on did not always go well. Think about it. The Clintons take care of this country I believe the only WISE choice is Hillary she is honest and dedicated and has been for 35 years. Obama is wet behind the ears and just talks alot, that will not save this country action will Hillary will. We love you Hillary.

Obama is being set up to lose in November. Republicans and there true supporters are afraid of Hillary they know that can't beat her But if they can somehow shape this into Obama beating out Hillary for the Democratic nomination. They fill Obama would be an easy win for them. Another 4 years in the White House for the Republicans. Same ol business as usual.

Way to go, Barack!! Woo hoo!

I Guess I learned it wrong.

Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you.

p.s. that guy in the background with the hat on looks kinda ominous, doesn;t he?

People have been saying that "higher-educated," "better-off" people have mainly voted for Obama while the "blue-collar" and "lesser educated" people have traditionally backed Clinton (until recently.) And when I read the comments on this board, I am constantly stricken by the large number of misspellings, grammatical errors, and factual errors contained in the rants of Clinton supporters versus the well-spoken and well-thought-out comments by Obama fans. Perhaps it's true when they say Americans want someone to whom they can relate in the White House.

Somebody, please anyone tell me what is the big deal with Barrack. I just don't get it. When asked, his own advisor couldn't answer what Barrack has done while in office. The advisor said he inspires people. Not me, I am definitely not inspired by him. The only thing he will inspire me to do is to vote for a republican. I have never done that, so he actually did inspire me to do something. Also, I heard that as a senator he accidentally voted against something he meant to vote for....and did it SIX times. And his wife has been quoted as saying (several times) that this is the only time in her life that she is proud to be an American (HOW PATHETIC)...NOT ME I HAVE ALWAYS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A PROUD AMERICAN.

This is to RPF. I am a Navy veteren (ex patriot.) You bet your sweet -- if i am in another country when the elections occur i better get a say so about it. Don't even argue that.

I have always been a democrat but this will be the first election ever that I will vote republican if Obama wins the democratic candidacy. I love Hillary her experience speaks volumes this "CHANGE" stuff that Obama talks about is not, that is all he is, is talk, she is action. Mccain will get my vote if Hillary loses. We are with you Mrs. Clinton, we believe in you here in Ohio.

what dose this truly mean for Hillary,she should not split the party by making things worst for herself and just say ok,this will give her another chance for people to get behind her in 2012

I am an African American student in Texas and I can't help but feel some sense of pride. I understand why some voters are skeptical about Mr Obama's experience but I feel that it is a hidden attribute. America has had many presidents with experience but what did they accomplish? I believe that by Mr Obama not being corrupted by the politics of the past gives us hope for the future.

I put my first Obama sticker on my car the day he announced his candidacy. I put the second one on my truck this morning. Note: I hate bumper stickers – these are the first two in 34 years of vehicle ownerships. I'm one American ready for the much needed change in this country.
All the way baby.....Obama '08

Barack Obama is a champion for people and their civil rights–the few that remain. His demeanor is genuine. He is not part of the problem, but part of the solution. That is why he connects with voters wherever they live.

ALL I KNOW IS ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN THIS COUNTRY BACKING OBAMA MUST ALL BE ON DRUGS.....IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE.....ESPECIALLY WOMEN....THE ONES WHO ARE NOT SUPPORTING HILLARY SHOULD BE ASHAMED...THIS IS OUR TIME TO MAKE HISTORY...A WOMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS THE CHANGE WE NEED....!!!

this is so funny... LOL... I mean the man wins at home and abroad but why?? because no one knows him really or what he stands for... to think that the win abroad signifies that he is more than just rethoric borders on the ridiculous... Right now he is nothing but a Rock Star.. if given the democratic nomination he will do nothing but GUARANTEE a McCain victory... WAY TO GO DEMOCRATS AT HOME AND ABROAD!!! LOL

John in Texas, You are exactly right, that's how I answered all my questions. I took time and read his blue print and everything else on his website (barackobama.com). I also checked out his visit to Google. candidates@google:Barack Obama
empty suit NO WAY! This country needs a healing to move foward and he's doing just that. People, look at how he has run his campaign.

Obama '08

History has shown that it's the young that change the world. This doesn't mean experience isn't important. The way I see it, put someone at the helm with good ideas and the old and experienced will keep them in check. Put someone who has been around at the helm, they simply won't listen to new and good ideas. I'll give the new guy a shot. Go Obama!

If the US want the republicans back in the WH vote Obama.

This guy is so full of empty phrases, popular smooth talk and substance lacking BS that he'll lose in november and people will look back on this election as the biggest mistake in recent American political history for both the country and womens chances in general.

America wake up and start listening to content instead of retorics.

I for one have not written Hillary off. My question to all you Obama backers what is he going to change in DC and HOW????? You are all starry eyed or against a women in office. When it is a fact female leader's historical record in the world have put men's to shame. Jac

So what. I'm not voting for him here in Texas. If he gets the nomination, I won't vote period. I don't support him or McCain. The thing is when someone tries so hard to say they walk on water and have done no wrong, in politics it is usually an indicator they are just better at being crooked. I don't trust him any further than I could pick him up and throw him. Let the Obamabots kick themselves after he gets elected and does little to effect any real change. I won't be part of that problem.

Speaking of abroad....

Obama needs to get a rousing rendition of 'kumbaya' going. Apparently Pakistan and Serbia aren't paying attention to his message.

Don't they realize he's about to be elected and they continue being 'divisive.' How dare they bomb when Obama is speaking.

For those who ask why expatriates can vote for candidates let me explain something to you. !!EXPATRIATES ARE AMERICANS LIVING ABROAD SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE ALSO!!!!JESUS.
Texans what is wrong with you voting for McCain?? Where have you been these past 7 years??

Obama– Smart, elocuent,articulate candidate that needs to win the Democrat nomination and America WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, if McCain is elected we are screwed (do not know how we can be more screwed but we will) Obama is the answer please do not screw it up agaian. What is this about experience?? look at the current president... A total BOZO!!!!

Mrs. Clinton is not willing to stop doing what she is doing to cause 11 straight wins from her opponent. Maybe after Mr. Obama's 13th win (in a row) Mrs. Clinton will realize that we are listening to Mr. Obama because he is not being divisive or negative. He has united people from all races and backgrounds. He is using words and speeches that we need to hear during these hard times of unemployment, recession and a war we did not want or need. We are tired of the same old politics (negativity). We are tired of the same old experiences (dividing the people).
Mr. Obama is a great communicator and a great motivator. Look at the young adults who are voting for him. He is the picture of HOPE. If our young people can achieve HOPE through Mr. Obama's WORDS and SPEECHES, please move out of the way and let them through. If Mr. Obama continues to bring people together on all fronts, we should all commend him and join him in his efforts. It would be unfair to our young people if we don't.

I'm of dual citizenship, and I voted for the first time in my entire life in a coffee shop in Brussels and what is the best thing the person I voted for Obama.. WON...Its just proof again that Obama is here to stay...

I am not amazed that Obama is winning! what can you expect from these people whom made Bush president 2nd time knowing all his mistakes during his first term. America needs people with brains who can think not beleive on what they just heared or seen.

So now expats can vote overseas through this "Democrats Abroad" organization PLUS vote absentee back in the States. THAT makes sense.

It surprises me this notion that Obama is some kind of a gift to the republicans, look at the popular vote, he can turn red states like Virginia blue, and has all first time democrat voters voting for him.
I will predict, if he is the nominee, he will be close to Eisenhower in a November blow out against Mcaine

We all know that Obama has accomplished very little and to give him this job would be sheer stupidity. But look at history – Bush was voted in (the second time...). Just because the majority of voters like someone (or can be manipulated by the press to like someone) doesn't mean it's the right decision.

Wisdom would dictate Hillary. But Americans aren't known for their wisdom...

I think that is wrong that people who do not live in the United States are allowed to vote for a president in the United States. I don't care who won, whether it was Hillary or Obama. That to me violates our Constitution, since our Constitution applies to whatever occurs in our terroritory, not to what people think abroad.

For those of you that have issues with American Citizens abroad voting...Get a clue!!! How many military bases do we have overseas? You know the men and women, like my husband fighting in Iraq, so that you can make the ignorant comments you've been making!
I am not only a veteran, but a black woman, married to a white man, raising three bi-racial children.. two of which are boys. I think the fact that Obama is a strong candidate shows our country's progression. I also feel the same way about Hillary as a candidate. I think it speaks wonders about our country. We spent almost 4 years living in Europe and for those of you who don't know...other countries HATE US!! We need some one with fresh ideas, someone who can unite and inspire us in the White House. I could care less about his "inexperience" as people have been pointing out. Experience is what has gotten us in the situation we're in. In a war that was totally unnecessary!! People wake up and choose the candidate your heart convicts you to choose.
For GOD'S sake do not vote for McCain!! There's no way I want my husband spending his remaining 10 years on active duty....back and forth in Iraq!000000

If you do some research you will find that Obama has actually accomplished more then Clinton.

This thing is about over , Obama will lock it up on March 4th

Yes...It is high time to unite the democratic party and stop playing any negative tricks upto march 4, 2008 with divide and conquer tactics as republicans have started doing this kind of game.

I love it!! Go OBAMA

As a woman I would really like to see a woman in this White House. . . .just not this one.

For some strange reason she seems ambition driven only to get to the White House for her own good. She seems to be a little fake . .her story and positions on various issues changes as much as the wind changes direction.

I truly believe she is calculating in the worst way. Just dont think I can trust her motives.

Yeah..I'm voting for Obama.

ever since super tuesday obama is gaining stronger momentum week by week. hilary not only has to win in texas and ohio, she has to win by a 15-20 point margin. If she doesn't, then obama will get a fair share of the delegates and will still be around 100 pledged delegates ahead. but things are getting even worse for hillary. he is starting a coalition in texas where young students around the country are going to texas houses to win votes. i live in michigan and although hilary won that state, everyone i know in the u of m campus has said they are making phone calls in texas and donating money to obama. obama has nearly 1,000,000 doners which is an all time record.

I am a Hillary voter and would love to see a Clinton/Obama ticket!!

American people are judging book by its cover without looking inside what it has to offer, same thing with this Obama, couple of good speeches about change and here we go....

Hello,

Wow! I voted all the way from Norway for Senator Obama. It is good to see MY voice in this process.

It may not be clear to Americans, but the ENTIRE WORLD really loves Senator Obama. He has not only inspired Americans, he has lifted the hopes of millions across the globe.

It is really quite amazing for me to see – as an American who travels frequently – the unabashed enthusiasm for him as well as the wide variety of people who support him.

From Australia, Malaysia, China and Japan to Nepal, South Africa, Russia, Poland, Morocco, and Brazil – and everywhere in between it seems.

It would be a veritable tragedy if somehow he were not elected president. Although, many around the world would LOVE for him to lead their country.

One 55 year old man in Italy asked me, "Do you think Barack would come to Italy after his 8 years in office in the US? We could use a guy like him over here."

So called Democracts are bashing the Clintons? I beleive the majority of the Clinton haters on here are Republicans. They know that McCain would have a much easier time beating Obama than Clinton. They are also crossing party lines and voting for Obama. People Wake UP!

If it is indeed McCain vs Obama – McCain will win easily. Republicans have outsmarted us again. Also, granted Obama is a much better speaker than Hillary or Bush but God help us Bush was a likable guy and that is why he won in 2000 and 2004 – people said he was like you and I. Gimme me break. We need someone with smarts and that is Hillary. People are afraid of intelligence...but instead we all want a dummy like the common man. Maybe Obama isn't a dummy but what the heck has he done in Congress???? Zero.

All of this Obama stuff is really getting old. The people out of the country don't really care, cause guess what, they don't live here. Why don't you people listen to the debate tonight or are your minds to closed to hear? Hillary not only has to run against a male but also has to run against another race. All of that in consideration, wouldn't people want her fighting for you.

AND SO WHAT?

First of all I can't understand for the life of me how folks can say they are against the war in Iraq and turn around and vote for Hillary Clinton (who voted for the war in Iraq) or John McCain. I mean we're talking mindset, judgment here people. A recent Texas poll for the general election had John McCain winning over Obama. That really baffles me. It tells me that either these people just don't care, that they are really not against the war in Iraq, that they really want it to continue or under no circumstances wil they vote for Obama. Democrats living abroad win, this is another great win for Obama. But isn't the score against Clinton now 0-12 and not 0-11? Afterall, didn't Obama also win Tuesday nights Washington State primary? If that primary was insignificant why did those people come out to vote then? At 57% of the precincts reporting, Obama was leading Clinton with over 100,000 votes and then puff it just all disappeared. Although this was called a 'beauty contest' where do those votes go, down the drain? And if so, do the Washington State people know that? And if they know that, why did they come out and vote then? And why is it that when Florida and Michigan were called beauty contests too that Hillary was allowed to count those as 'wins' for her in addition to fighting that those delegates be seated when clearly this would break the rules? Nevertheless, why did the Washington State people vote Tuesday night and where are those votes, what happens to them, and so, mark this another win for Obama!

Can anyone name HRC's accomplishments as Senator? All I have is a fluff list of naming libraries, etc. after people.

Yes we can. Obama 08.

Can anyone tell me what the naysayers who are screaming no experience and glamour have been the last 8 YEARS! Stop your blinded views and comments and wake up and smell the Starbucks! Democrats need to start uniting around BARRACK so we can send a message to the Republican party of hate.

Come on Texas and Ohio!!! Vote for Obama! Don't let our next leader be chosen by these superdelegates! Obama has won the most states, the most delegates, and the majority vote! Still don't get why these superdelegates count more than the American people, I mean aren't they just American citizens too?

Let the people decide! With Texas and Ohio wins for Obama, the people will have spoken!

Obama 08!!!!

I'm not surprised , he is popular in other countries. Someday Americans will find out why. I hope it is not to late for "our' country. It seems a lot of people have their eyes closed. Wonder why these people are living abroad? Maybe they are like Michele Obama , maybe they aren't proud to be an American either.

Obama puts the spotlight on the issues that matter to the American people and communicate his genuine interest in a greater United states in a way that few Presidensial canidates have in the past. Because we are not use to this kind of politics (where its about the peoples desire not the politicians) many of us just dont know how to recieve it. It funny that everybody is not celebration this wonderful Historic time. It is only those that are truly love this country and want to see it live up to its creed, that is fortunate enought to be still and appreciate this wonderful time in our American history.

Who cares what the Americans living abroad think. Expats obviously have not idea of Obama's ability to run this country. Looks like most of his supporters likes his "goody-bag of politics". And our media is the "King Maker". The best candidates in this race have dropped out.
Joe Biden would have made the best President, could have a back room deal

I THINK OBAMA IS "GOD" SENT, HE REMINDS ME OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, NO ONE CAN STOP HIM. HE IS FOR THE PEOPLE , BE IT BLACK OR WHITE, HE HAS NO BONDEROUS. HE WILL TRE
AT EVERYONE THE SAME.

GOD BLESS YOU OBAMA!

Yes, We Can! – Si, Se Puede! Obama'08

Everybody talks about Hillary being more qualified, well we would have known anything really about her if she was not Bill Clinton's wife; she would have just been another senator and when did speaking eloquently become something to criticize a person for. GO OBAMA!!!

If the positions were reversed, Obama would have been forced to give up the fight for the nomination but because it is the Clinton's she goes on and on and on. If she were to miraculously win the nomination, the cloud behind that would be so dark that the nation would be in literal shock and we would have an election between two people that are so tainted that I would not even both to vote.

I voted for Sen.Obama in the Netherlands and if he won by 67% I suppose he must have a larger number of pledged delegates, doesn't he?

Ooh goody the Obama supporters are here... he will unite the world behind America.... he is the bridge to the future...

I laugh so hard when I read this stuff my face hurts !!!

come in to the light... come in to the light.....

McCain '08

THIS WIN FOR OBAMA IS A SING OF WINING THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT, GOD BLESS OBAMA. ONE LOVE FROM ABOMA IN AFRICA.

To anonymous:

Who cares? The focus is on Ohio and Texas??

Sounds like a typical Hillary supporter: forget about the people that "don't matter" and focus only on the "big states". Appauling!

OBAMA 08!

What I DO NOT want to see on tonight's debate is Clinton using her "words are not enough" argument because as far as I am concerned, all 4 candidates are using just words, any action will be seen AFTER the president is "chosen". Right now what the people are basing their judgment on is the nominee that they believe will most likely uphold their promise after they win. From my observation here in Canada it seems that Obama is doing a pretty good job upholding his promise since he is the only one abiding to his early principles by running a very strong and positive campaign. Any attack he has had on Clinton has been based on her issues, he has not even attacked her on her conniving tactics which he can so easily do seeing how she has been so negative in all her losses. So my fellow neighbors, when choosing your nominee, try to use logic and make your choice based on the nominee who you believe will most likely follow through on their promises. Because at the end of the day, everything being said by each nominee are "just words". Action can only be judged after we have a winner. And that is my two cents

I find it interesting that the people who accuse (wrongly) Obama supporters of not being able to cite any of his accomplishments or say that he doesn't have a plan have obviously not even bother to check out his campaign website.

Who's in who's cult?

GObama!

God bless america and God bless obama ,

Vegas is giving even odds on when clinton will cry again.

Florida and Michigan, how do you feel about your vote not counting now. Guess you have to live abroad to make your vote count.

Obama is the man! If Hillary has any dignity left, she would drop out and support him. Let's see Bill throw his support behind Obama. Obama is the man. If you cant win primaries, you wont be able to stand up to McCain in the Generals. Go Obama!!!!!

WHat kind of media bias is this? Since when was this a Primary?! lol

TEXAS AND OHIO HERE WE COME!!

CLINTON 08!

SPEAKING AS AN EXPAT WHO NOW LIVES IN THE NETHERLANDS EVRY ONE THAT I'VE TALKED TO PRETTY MUCH AGREES THAT BARACK IS THE BEST CANADATE FOR CHOICE WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING RESHAPE AMERICA'S IMAGE AND I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO TALK TO PEOPLE FROM AUSTRALLIA,PERU,ITALY,SPAIN,CHINA,TAIWAIN,ENGLAND,AFRICA AND IRELAND. THESE ARE NOT AMERICANS BUT THEY ALL SEEM TO BE WATCHING THIS ELECTION WITH FEVERED ANTICIPATION AND HOPE THAT THE YOUNG SENATOR WINS THIS ELECTION. P.S ANYONE OF THE SO CALLED DEMOCRATS WHO KEEP SAYING THAT THEY'LL VOTE FOR BUSH/MCCAIN IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION, THEN I'LL KINDLY ASK YOU TO LEAVE NOW BECAUSE THIS PARTY DOES NOT NEED THAT KIND OF NEGATIVITY CAST UPON ITSELF.

In response to Anon...Have you done your own research as to how "very little" Obama has accomplished in the Senate, or are you just relying on what people tell you? Believe it, or not, the Clintons have a problem with the truth from time to time (gasp!). I urge you, and anyone else buying into the lies about Obama, to go the the Library of Congress website and research his record for yourself. You'll find that he has many legislative accomplishments.

If you don't like his liberal positions, that's fine...Americans are allowed to disagree and vote accordingly. I only ask that you stop feeding into the lie about his lack of accomplishments.

And by the way...John McCain is far from "independent"...Even remaining loyal to President Bush after Bush slandered him in South Carolina in 2000. Even though I won't vote for him (because I disagree with him on Iraq, Health Care, Education, etc.), I respect McCain. I don't need to promulgate lies about him to make myself feel better.

It is just so easy for all of you "liberals" to continuously throw the Clintons under the bus. The Democrat party would not be what it is today without the Clintons.

Obama is NOT the second coming of Christ that you all think he is!

I don't trust Obama and I think ever will. He speeches are great and very uniting BUT He wasn't able to vote on whether he supportered the IRAQ war or not. He voted for the patriot act. People need to start looking at action as opposed to speeches. Hillary is no good either. It seems to me that the people that are worth going for arent mentioned by cnn and other media censorship. Watch "Freedom to Fascism" on google...

And it is this "who cares?" strategy that has all but doomed the Clinton campaign.

Its allways a bright future to see a new young,educated,with a good hope for our next generation & our nation as well.God bless America.God bless Obama.

this means that as the Left increase their clout in european countries, Democrats abroad internalize those anti-American messages and believe our image needs repairing, thus voting for the most liberal senator of 2007–the one whose accomplishments can't even be named by his own supporters–for president. That's all this means. If Obama wants change, it's easy to infer that he thinks there's something fundamentally wrong with our country, when in fact, it's a fundamentally extraordinary country where, to paraphrase, we have spurts of mistakes (e.g. Bush). If Obama's the dem nominee, I'll vote McCain who at least is a moderate Republican with LOTS of foreign experience/service.

This just again shows how stupid Amarica is becoming. To want a guy with only three years in the senate and no real experiance compared to the other candidate is lunacy.

I do not want an Obama-Nation!

WAKE UP, PEOPLE

a lot going on on earth, you need some leadership for this super power ...

For those questioning why expats have a say in the election: Just because you live outside the country doesn't mean you are free of our laws. For example, if you live and work in a foreign country (and continue to hold your US Citizenship), you still have to file an American Federal income tax return, every year, even if you don't make one single US dollar. If you're paying taxes, then you should have a voice in the government. Your politicians are also responsible for foreign policy. How could that *not* affect Americans who live abroad?

If you want to say that expats don't have a say in what's going on, then neither should our soldiers stationed overseas... they aren't living here either.

I would disagree with one poster:
Just becuase a few voted for Obama does not indicate that the whole of the country would want him.
I am living in a country right now that would rather see McCain or Clinton in the title role.
Two reasons not for Obama:
- No International high level experience
- Don't like his politics..(Ted Kennedy endorsement didn't improve things)

I went to thomas.loc.gov (Library of Congress website) and printed the information regarding bills introduced by Obama and Clinton. Although Clinton has 16 pages compared to Obama's 15 pages the content of the bills is very interesting reading. Now when someone says "Obama's never done anything" I whip it out and invite them to read the facts. No one has actually read my printouts yet. Yeah, I thought so. New Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor YES PECAN

dear texas,

can you name one senatorial accomplishment of Hillary's?

Drawing a blank? I thought so.

Hillary's voters aren't voting on her experience(which is wanting) they are banking on her HUSBANDS. She is the typical women, riding on the accomplishments of her husband.

obama will never win.
hillary 08

Genuine question:
What did Obama change in Chicago or Illinois?
What is his record for "change"?

I was a McCain supporter in 2000, and am a Hill Supporter in 2008. I think this Mr. Obama is a very inspirational speaker. Why should I vote for him over Mr. McCain, in the event that Hillary loses?

Please no fanatical responses...

PS~ Iraq is NOT in my top 12 list of issues that matter to me.

They could be Americans on humanitarian missions, missionaries, students, scholars, etc.. Not just expatriates.

"not again", please take your racism and bigotry somewhere else. Just in case you didn't notice, America has moved on. You can repeat his middle name all you want and point out that he is half Kenyan and was raised in Hawaii, he still WILL be our next president. Maybe then you can renounce your citizenship, because we won't tolerate that kind of mindset in a new USA.

I do believe that the Constitution of the United States of America says that to be president a person must be 35 years of age or older and must be a born in the United States. There is NOT anything in there that says you must have an amount of required years of being a senator in Washington. READ THE CONSTITUTION.

Btw: Sentor Obama has TAUGHT the Constitution, believes in the Constitution, and will OBEY the Constitution!

Obama '08

Obama 08 and 2012.YES!!!!!!

I'm an American living in Canada. I voted for Obama because I'm sick and tired of people pissing on America because of George W. Bush.

Obama is a repudiation of everything that fool stands for.

After 7 years I might be able to go out and make a friend.

Obama doesn't only have momentum and movement he's building something across America that's called trust!!! Just because someone has been on earth longer and experienced more things does not make them smarter or more elgible, truthfully Hillary and Obama are really saying the same thing but it all comes down to who is more believable and will actually do what they say they will and right now America sees Obama's inperson and now that he means business.

Obama-bots are nothing more then hate-mongers. Careful what you wish for you just might get it. If Hillary loses, we get a Republican again. I thought we had a shot at it until Obama started to gain the lead, now I know If she doesn't get the nomination, we will have John McCain as President. We know he has tried to unite the party by co-sponsering numerious bills across the aisle. The fact that his party has trouble with his more liberal, middle of the road ideas, will make a lot of democrats give him a good look in November.

Nice to see Obama continuing to expand his delegate lead. It's high time we ended the corrupt Bush/Clinton dynasties of the past 20 years. If Hillary really cared about this country, or even her own party, she would drop out of this race immediately and back Obama. She cannot win at this point, and she is only diminishing the chance that a democrat will get elected to the whitehouse this November.

Barack Obama, restore America's credibility and pride in the world.

Give hope to fundamentalists that you will bring alternatives to confrontations and armed conflicts, Talk to them, listen to them, work with them and get results!

Give hope to those who need jobs, income and dignity.
Bring jobs back from China and India that others in power sent abroad for short their term gain.

Fund PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE projects and give people work and a sense of purpose again. Give them salaries instead of handouts or degrading welfare programs.

The old guard can NOT do it. They are too involved.

Yes, YOU can Barack Obama!

Overseas is great, however, we need Texas and Ohio to really seal this race for us. Let's make history and not repeat it. We all know that if Hill gets in, it puts Bill back in and we have been there, done that and got a lousy t-shirt (and mine swam away with Katrina). The Bush folk and the Clintons have been running this country for the past 20 years and it is definitely time for a change people. I am only 30 years old and I know that. Let's make it happen...YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

Well, I look forward to the debate tonight....I hope the media will start to get the hard to answer questions out to Senator Obama! If he wants to be President lets here specifically how he can justify disenfranchising millions of democratic voters without aliienating them. He claims he wants to go by the rules...........then I guess Kennedy and Kerry would then have to support Clinton.

But rules be as they are, this is for the Democratic Party – and not just for Senator Obama! If he were as wonderful as everyone claims he is with his fairness, etc. – lets hear the explanation.

In my view, Senator Obama and the rest of the candidates abandoned Michigan I guess to keep in good graces with the DNC. Senator Clinton led the way and left her name on the ballot in support of the voters! Perhaps one may say that she agreed and then went back on her word. Well, sometimes we all make a mistake and then go back and correct the mistake. But the bottom line is, she took affirmative action on behalf of the voters. Then – as in playing 'follow the leader' everyone left their names on in Florida.

Senator Clinton and her programs are for EVERYONE.........unlike Senator Obamas healthcare proposal which excludes millions of Americans – not far from the millions he is intending to exclude from the nomination process!

Superdelegates 8 for Clinton! Superdelegates evened out the 65% plus vote for Obama... Silencing the people's voices! Let's see if this gets posted this time...

SUPERdelegates!

Hello,

Wow! I voted all the way from Norway for Senator Obama. It is good to see MY voice in this process.

It may not be clear to Americans, but the ENTIRE WORLD really loves Senator Obama. He has not only inspired Americans, he has lifted the hopes of millions across the globe.

It is really quite amazing for me to see – as an American who travels frequently – the unabashed enthusiasm for him as well as the wide variety of people who support him.

From Australia, Malaysia, China and Japan to Nepal, South Africa, Russia, Poland, Morocco, and Brazil – and everywhere in between it seems.

It would be a veritable tragedy if somehow he were not elected president. Although, many around the world would LOVE for him to lead their country.

One 55 year old man in Italy asked me, "Do you think Barack would come to Italy after his 8 years in office in the US? We could use a guy like him over here."

I used to live abroad and am not surprised that the rest of the world sees Obama as their hope for better relations with the US. We are a very arrogant nation and have been steamrolling the rest of the world for decades. Obama offers the world possibility for a less imperialistic foreign policy. This is exactly why I have chosen to support Obama. I was a Hillary supporter until it became clear that Obama has the leadership ability to unite the country and bring us out of the Dark Ages of international policy. We are not a nation alone on the planet – Obama understands that.

Go Obama!

The saddest part is that most people have not done any research at all and as usual, most are following the crowd trying to fit in.
Mr. Obamas speech is fantastic but it has in fact been the same exact speech for a year (and not even his own words).
Never owned a business, never done a thing for his own state, never done a thing for us as a people and held a public office for two years.
Sounds great, lets have him as the most important person on Earth!

Putting Mr. Obama in office would lead to some of the greatest regret in history...
The unfortunate part of all of this is that the Democratic party is now divided in half and if Mr. Obama wins the nod, the other half will leave the party, therefore, he will not win and the Republicans will, that is why they want him to win the Dem-nod people...

Open your eyes... I will be shocked if CNN runs this as it is quite obvious how their darling is (they want him to win so the Republicans can keep the seat as well)...

Even those abroad are now feeling the elctrifying movement that Obama has created. It is hard to believe that Hillary is not getting the message . How much louder can we speak, "we are done with the old and we aready for the new" it has been shown over and oevr again. The old Washington style politics are done! Hillary is from the old school of whashington, where politicians look at polls and numbers. We need a leader who is willing to look at the issues that concern our country and our citizens. Hillary has always had a political agenda, not a dream, but an agenda. A self seeking agenda! not the american people, not our country, but her! She is tough in debates, but tonight, Obama is going to continue to roll towwards his path to the white house and Hillary will once again see a downfall in her campaign.

Congratulations!
Ohio and Texas is NEXT

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!1

This is a movement. Who knows who's behind it. It might even have foreign ties to it.

It feels more like a cult or a civil right movement rally.

PLEASE act like intelligent Americans and vote issues.

Let Obama run after he has some experience.
We really need to check this guy out.

This is his second debate with Hillary.

Let them speak about policy

Maybe I will be wrong, maybe not. I hope I don't have to be one of the ones that say " I told you so" . I cry for America. I'm not voting for anyone. Served my country for 14 years in the U.S.Army. I'm afraid Obama will embold our enemies. Talking to people that want to slit our throats, women to wear berkas(sp) People that want to wipe Israel off the map. Leaders that think the holocost never happened. Someone that wants all the Illegals to have it all free or darn near. Don't know anything about all of you. But, my purse is only 1/3 full now. I cannot afford all these freebee programs. God help us all..

I think its time to give Obama time to face the reality of the world. Give up hillary the trueth is there.

It is a sad state of affairs when so many people are played by the media hype over Obama and can't see it for what is really is which is ratings. Obama can make all the promises in the world and be as charasmatic as ever, but that doesn't mean he can accomplish anything. He is stringing people along on false hopes. I have never been a fan of the electoral college in this country until now. I hope for once if the popular vote is for Obama, that the electoral college will not be. As a democrat if Obama is the nominated candidate, I'll vote for McCain.

We have a severe shortage of Civil Rights Attorney's in this country (those who fight for our Constitutional rights!). Barack Obama chose to become a Civil Rights Attorney... that alone should speak volumes to all people. Anyone who chooses to fight for our rights in this country on his own time, NEEDS to be this country's leader period. Barack Obama knows our rights better than most of us know them for ourselves. I'll take Civil Rights experience above all else anyday!

When Larry King says he has never seen a man or woman of any color like Barack Obama in his lifetime... this too speaks volumes. I mean, that guy has been around!

If Clinton had won, CNN would be calling this a "beauty contest" because neither candidate actually campaigned so why should it matter.

I am 81 yrs old...I say, GO OBAMA
Time for the egotistical Clinton's to retire.

RPF, go get your dictionary (if you even have one) and look up the definition of "expatriate". These are AMERICAN CITIZENS living abroad and yes, they have the right to vote in American elections.

and Barack Oprah, the world has already SEEN America's worst president: George W. Bush. ANYONE we elect in 2008 will be an improvement.

11 wins in a row and Clinton still won't give up. Hopefully after Texas this long and grueling nomination process will come to an end..with Obama as our nominee!

Hey Obama supporters if you saw his biography on CNN you know this man was born to be President. His story is just as interesting as any of the candidates running for office.

TO: harriet hollander
Why would it be so terrible to overturn our everyday way of life in every state or city? I, for one, would gladly say good-bye to this weakening economy, and the millions lost to foreclosures and folks being out of work. Wouldn't you??

Obama movement is every where. .Winning abroad is just another sign of what people like and want.

O God !!!! help Obama to win the democrat nomination and the US presidency.

I've heard sooo many people say "he is inspiring"; he inspires me..... what does he inspire you to do, LISTEN? Once this thing is over with, I sure hope those of you that are so amazingly inspired will get up OFF YOUR BUTTS and so something besides vote about change. I realize that no matter what Obama fans are factually told, you are riding a high right now and don't want to come down from it. But, when the drug isn't in the media every minute of every day and he is faced with the real task of making people change and not just talking about, what DO EACH ONE OF YOU INTEND TO DO to make that change happen.

Honestly, the word is so over used and over played. I'd really like an answer to what he has inspired of each of you to make you feel so high.... maybe if the drug is that good, we should get the pharmacies to sell it.

As an American living in Canada, I'm proud to say that I too voted for Barack Obama. Canadians for the most part don't dislike Americans, but they loathe their tyrantical, bully pulpit type Government. They see Barack Obama supporters as true Americans that really want change, and are willing to unite as one to make that happen. America WILL be better off on the International scene with a person like Obama leading our Country down a path of good for all, not just good for elitists that run the Country now.
Obama '08

Yay..!
This proves that Obama will change the view other countries have of us.

im glad that people all over the world are voting for obama... goes to show that you dont have to be in one of his speeches in order to get his messg.
Go Obama 2008...

American's WAKE-UP do not let emotions to lead you,but your brain.
Country needs strong and more experienced person to lead the Country. Obama is NOT ready yet ,may be in future.
Experience matter a lots , what to say time will tell, some day when things go wrong way blame no one but your selves for voting him.
Even being Democrat will vote rather McCain than Obama he scares me with his empty revolucionary speeches.

Anon I am not sure where you get your logic form. Viewing your comment I can say you are actually speaking about both Hillary and Obama.

Hillary does not have loads of experience. She was a politicians wife that was it. On top of that Bill only had Attorney General experience and Governor experience before he became president. That is it. Nothing more.

I would love for someone to explain all this experience comes from for Hillary.

"Who cares. The focus is on Ohio and Texas.

Hillary 08"

Just look at this comment from a Clinton supporter --who cares about Americans living in all these developed countries...Only Texas and Ohio matter.

How can you guys be so out of touch with reality...is this why you support Hillary? Every thing America and even none-American matters in this election season and the next presidency to come.

This is why we are not calling any state insignificant no matter it's size and political contribution...its not about a president of choice, it is not entirely or only about whether we want a black president or a female president. WE WANT HEAL AMERICA BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD.

The fact that all the ex pats living abroad have overwhelmingly chosen Obama speaks volumes......and you should recognize that.

ok looks like great news to me.i don't know about some of you.
but there is something that really bothers me and i wish someone can respond to me .
at their last debate,Hillary say that it has been a wonderful race so far.obama and her also agree on lot of things to do to changes the US and she says i quote
i believe both of them say that they were different on certain issues but it was not much of a difference.
so WHY IS HILLARY ATTACKING OBAMA SO MUCH? AND WHY IS IT AFTER SHE LOST HER LEAD?I THINK IF SHE REALLY WANTED THIS COUNTRY TO MOVE FOWARD AND CHANGE she shouldn't be creticizing obama this much like m'cain is doing it too.
she should defend her program of course.she just need to prove why her program is the best one and then if people still prefer obama,and if he wins the nomination then she should support obama agains't m'cain or vice versa.
am not saying obama is the best but am not saying hillary is not the best but i know m'cain is the worst and am saying it loud .c'mon democrats, be wise and smart.you don't need experience for that

I was very upset when I heard people call Obama an empty suit but what I realized... this people were talking about Hillary... NOW I get it.
I travel abroad and I know what it means to have someone like Obama as president, now that is a powerful message for all of us and those around the world. "YES, WE CAN" "SI SE PUEDE" I believe in CHANGE.

PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS DOUBLE STANDARD !!! IF THE ROLE WERE REVERSED, AND ANOTHER CANDIDATE HAD LOST 10 CONTESTS IN A ROW, I BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE CALLS FOR THE LOSER TO WTHDRAW FROM THE RACE AND SUPPORT THE FRONT RUNNER, AND THE FOREMOST EXCUSE WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR THE UNITY OF THE PARTY & THE GENERAL ELECTION. HOW COME WE HAVEN'T HEARD CALLS FOR THIS LOSER TO WITHDRAW, OR IS THEIR LAST NAME HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT ?

Barack Obama is a champion for people and their civil rights–the few that remain. His demeanor is genuine. He is not part of the problem, but part of the solution. That is why he connects with voters wherever they live.

Looks like McCain will probably lose in a smut smearing battle; nobody will ever forgive him for the Savings and Loan scandal. Where we lost billions of hard working pension and retirement benefits, which all happened on his watch and nobody went to jail. This was the first Enron.

RPF, Democrats Abroad is the organization for registered democrats who are United States citizens and living temporarily or permanently abroad. The Democratic National Committee allocates to them delegates in the selection of the Democratic candidate. That's all this is about.

Hillary is not more electable. How can you lose 11 primaries/caucuses in a row and claim to be more electable? She's going to go against the peoples vote, try to take "pledged delegates", sway superdelegates and go negative against a member of her own party. This is no way to win a general election. The PEOPLE vote in a general election. Why should we watch you do these things and vote for you in the fall?? Why damage the party & try to damage Obama for your own gain when it would just cause you to lose anyway? If you love America, step down. PLEASE!

Obama makes me want to get off the cross and punish you all, i predict that if you vote Obama, America will be cursed. Please, pretty please vote Obama. But when you do, remeber you first read it here about you will be cursed.

Let's hope that this 'obama cult' comes to a sceeching halt..and soon! This 'obama...mania 'has gone far enough. Don't people who allow themselves to be 'caught up' in this nonsense ...REALIZE that he has nothing to say, and nothing to give in response to what his words, 'change and hope' mean? This man is an empty suit, for sure. Plus, his dire predictions about this GREAT NATION are a bunch of HOGWASH in trying to SCARE Voters into thinking that he is the best man for the job. He's nothing. Obama doesn't even come close to being prepared or qualified for President. People, Wake Up to Reality!

>So expatriates, people who live in other countries are allowed to vote for the American President?

Of course they are: thank god one does not loose American citizenship when out of the US.

The only problem with democracy is that uninformed people get to vote. Eight years of Bush, with Obama on the horizon? From one inexperienced light-weight to another. Great. Thanks a lot, America!

John McCain is getting things done but in whose best interest the people or the lobbyist. I use to feel John McCain would have been better than Bust on his second term but now he is taken on his views. His close ties with GW jr is a mistake and by the time he realize it the election/movement will be over. Sorry no Jon for me.

Chesco: I read in the NYTimes that many of the districts where Obama received 0 votes were NYC districts with large black populations. Hillary supporters also supposedly ran the districts.

To be fair, Hillary did receive 0 votes in some districts.

To comment on that, if you're rigging a whole bunch FOR Hillary, rigging a few AGAINST is a good line to have - and it is the only rebuttal I've heard.

And let's not forget New York is her "home" state.

John McCain – Keating five. He showed poor judgment. Did he learn his lesson? He thinks so, I believe him. But I still think Obama would make the better leader, and better president.

I like McCain a lot. I just like Obama better. Obama has a track record – actually quite a long one. And I admire what I see there.

Why is it that in every election Obama has run in, a major problem always arises with the opposition candidate? In his first run for state legislature in Illinois, he challenged the legality of all 3 of his opponents (including the incumbent) to run for the office since they didn't get the appropriate amount of signatures to be on the ballot. Result- he was the only candidate on the ballot in the November election and therefore won. In his run for US Senate, the opposition candidate, who was ahead in the polls, had to drop out because of a domestic abuse scandal. And now, suddenly, after Obama becomes frontrunner, we find out about allegations of affairs and issues with FEC rules, undermining McCain's ability to win in November. Beginning to see a pattern here?

Hillary keeps talking about how much experience she has, but as we've seen she can't run her own campaign properly. Moving people around and changing out campaign managers, but the common denominator is HRC.You have to give Obama credit on his campaign. Some of you believed that he had a no chance over a year ago. One of his strategist made a comment on CNN, that back in September of 2007, Obama took the reins over on his campaign and things started to pick up from there. That speaks to the "TRUE" leadership he has. To start a national campaign from scratch and compete with the Clinton machine is very impressive. I hope that after March 4 Mrs.Clinton will have the decency to step aside graciously.

ANOTHER CNN'S OBAMA PROPAGANDA !

The DEM. party desperately wants to get back the WH, but it is tragic to have a puppet whom is considered as a "solid one" to defeat the Rep. When the time comes, the DEM. Party will pay big price for it.

VOTERS, OPEN YOUR WISE EYES!

I wonder how many of these people on the OBama train voted for
Bush even once and mabey even twice.
I doubt very many of Hillary's supportes did.

Blue collar in tennessee

There's no campaign for this abroad primary. So if this result counts, why shouldn't the result of FL and MI count? Is this fair? Seems like whatever Obama does, it's fine, it's perfect, it's great. But whatever Hillary does, it's not right.

When Obama attacks Hillary, it's fine, it's great. When Hillary attacks Obama, it's negative campaign, it's "old politics". This elcetion is so weirld.

The Obama campaign continues forward even overseas! Character and integrity are what Americans are focused on not only experience! John McCain has proven in the past that he is not above being influenced by the lobbyists! Go Obama!

This is probably THE most important result! The true global community with experience and exposure to cultures outside the U.S. have voted "for" the candidate that they believe has the ability to change the global opinion of the U.S. thereby making their lives easier in those foreign countries.

This will make a VERY interesting debate tonight!

It's so sad to see how americans can easyly forget people who have worked are their lives helping out children and woman. Hillary cares deeply about this nation and about all people. Her record speaks for itself. I just hope Barack Husein Obama doesn't dissapoint any of you who because it's really sad to know that he's being hailed as some king, when he does not even measure up to Hillary's accomplishments. Word has it, he is the Antichrist. Just another sign that this world is coming to an end. If not HIllary, I hope Mccain destroys him.
ANYONE BUT OBAMA 08

can someone pleaseeeeeeeeeee tell me why hillary can't hold her head still when she talks

Are your comments being taken out as well? As least Fox is not as biased as CNN.

Also, democrates do not need to rally around the nominee if that nominee is not their choice. That was the "old" way of doing things – on with the new!!

I can't believe how vulnerable people are. You rely on biased media. This race is FAR from over. I don't want someone who doesn't have the necessary experience to lead this country. Maybe after he actually spends some time in the Senate and stands behind his convictions. Oh wait, does he have any? We need to fix this nation first, and only HILLARY can do that.

HILLARY '08!!

A lesson to learn from the results is that people respect and trust those whose actions they think will be based on conscience, conviction and scruples and not on calculations, convenience and manipulation. The winning streak is going to continue as people cannot change overnight.

Talk about experience? It reminds me of D.Rumsfeld, P.Wolfowitz, C Powell... and this is the America we got!!

OBAMA O8 ALL THE WAY!

If the media KISSED up to Hillary the way they do Obama,the story might be different,It is scary that a man with no experience,Bad voting record ,but makes great promises,Gives a great speech,makes promises to the people that even he knows is impossible to keep might become the leader of our Country. I will not vote for a man that can DO NOTHING but make promises,look good and acts like God and him are on a level playing field. his cockiness is starting to show and so is his wifes.

Okay let's see what are American's choices for this Presidential election? An old man that is getting his groove on with a lobbyist that he does special favors for, a woman that will stop at NOTHING to win, or an inspirational, highly intelligent, high ethical and moral standards leader.....I think I'll take the latter!

OBAMA ,08!!!

john in TX, i have read the 64 page document and btw still voted for clinton in my primary.

For those calling for Clinton to step aside, give her a break (sorry, couldn't resist). She owes it to her supporters to stick through the TX and OH primaries. Even if she wins those (and, I think she will win one for sure, probably 3 of the 4 held that day) by a very slim margin, it will be apparent that even with those wins she has no chance at the nomination, and that will be perfect timing to step down, save face, and begin to unite the party.

What I don't understand is the Obama supporters approach. They ask her to step down for the sake of the party, but make the most personal and vicious attacks against her. In case you haven't noticed, 40% plus of the party is voting for her. How are you helping unite the party by callig her names and insulting anyone who was a supporter? you want her supporters to be gracious in defeat, yet even now when it is apparent Obama will be the nominee, you continue your attacks even in victory.

With all that said, I was originally an Edwards supporter, and here's to Obama/Edwards in 2008!

Here is rhyme written by my mother, who is white, 87 years old, lives in AZ, earns less than $50,000 a year and does not have a college degree. How's that for demographics!

Ethel's Rhyme for the Day

ELECT OBAMA
YOUNG,HONEST,SINCERE,AND VITAL
HE'S GOT THE GOODS.

THE QUALITY AND CHARISMA
TO GET THIS COUNTRY
OUT OF THE WOODS
***
For all those millions who have suffered in Iraq, for the hundreds of thousand who have died, for the suffering families of the American service men and women who have died in Iraq because Hillary Clinton and other leaders did not speak out, donate to the Obama campaign today. Obama is reaching a million donations, help him get there, so that we can give our country a fresh start and a new humanistic direction for the 21st Century.

Mr Obama,has everyone all fired up for a change,the voters are like ducks going to water,but when they get there the water just may be gone!
Change,but what is he going to change? and HOW is he going to change it!!

It looks like Obama might be the only person running for President. It's time to attack McCain, from today's news. Unbelievable how the press is manipulating the people into voting for their candidate. I'll stick with you, Hillary.

Yes he is winning. Do you know why he is winning with his bunch of lies. With regard to "PUBLIC FUNDING" he committed for something and he is doing something else. Thats why the saying goes "TALKERS ARE NOT DOERS". This speaks of his Character not keeping up his words. "Ths Change" he is shouting now do you think he can deliver when he has such a Character. Who cares who supports or endorses Obama. Oprah did be can she is a black. Do you know yesterday Sheila Jackson Lee said she is supporting Clinton because she knows that Clinton has solutions. Think over she is an African-American unlike Oprah she is supporting Clinton. When Media asked her "What does it take for her to Switch"? She kept repeatedly saying nothing will cahnge her mind. She wants people to respect her decision and she knows that Clinton has solutions and thats why she is supporting her.

I never see any comments here that have anything bad oabout Obama wh is that

Im a latina voter that started out with high support for the clintons but the negative remarks and comments made over the past month has bought my support for them to an end. Im ready for something new that's why Obama has 1 more latina voter today. Oh and as far as texas goes he has 2 week to let the rest of my people be Inspired by the truth so I think he will do very well.

Yes we can !!!!!

I Think Obama represents the finest thing about Immigration done Legally .... In fact if we as Mexican Americans are to really Look at endorsing a Candidate we should think that Obama Mirrors , The very Image we are trying to attain .... He is the product of Immigration done right and Legally and really stands out as a real part of " the preception of the american dream'! If he is to be the Nominee we send a message to the rest of the world and in our own neighboorhoods . That "Your Child " can grow up in country that offers anyone the same oppertunity . It amazes me that Cnn's pundits and Analyst have failed to make the realtionship with , his being a prodcut of what immigration and hard work and the american dream can really bring about . His realtionship to this topic , leads me to belive that he can bring about the neccessary humane reforms to such a divisive topic.
Thank you
and please post so that others may respond to thier thoughts as well

anon....you won't get a more partisan candidate than Hillary Clintion who wants to battle the Republicans instead of leading this nation....he has vision, leadership and unity. She is a polarising politician who can't even manage her own campaign...how do you think she will run the country....no thank you! Wise up and support Obama!!!

Americans are taken to Obama the same way they did with BUSH and look how that turn out.

Good luck screwing it up!

Mr Obama will probably get the Democrat's nomination.

The Republicans will tear him apart for his lack of experience, partisan voting record – what little of that he has done and his political ties overseas.

John McCain will be the next President

ARMENIA IS VOTING FOR OBAMA GOOO OBAMA GO WE LOVE YOU

I live in Germany. I can not vote. But i know, the people here like Obama.

You cannot please everyone, but it is very telling that so many see through the talking points they are told by a candidate-desperate-to-win. That so many Americans, at home and abroad, took the time to research Obama for themselves and recognize he is the superior candidate truly does give me hope. I haven't felt this good about a candidate in fifty years and I'm just grateful that so many are actually researching and thinking for themselves and voting for the obvious informed choice, Obama. I understand the Hillary supports are disappointed and frustrated and that explains so many of their snide remarks. In time, some of them will recognize the truth and others will just stew in their bitterness, but the rest of America will be moving forward into the future, and the future is looking brighter all the time.

Note: To everyone who uses the term " empty suit", we are tired of you parroting your lifted talking points. It is quite obvious that we the people are speaking, but some of you refuse to hear what we are saying. It is time to move forward and get on with the business at hand.

Obama is a joke and so are all his voters. Do you notice when asked about his accomplishments most of his voters come up empty headed, LOL, on National TV too. GOOOOOOOO Mckain because that who the next president will be if Hillary is not the nominee. We will sit out this 2008 General Election and laugh. Obama the divider not the Uniter.

British people have abolished slavery. America is about to abolish racism by choosing Obama.
Once racism is abolished terrorism will go for good. America is about to make history by taking humanbeing trough Obama to the new age called- GOLDEN AGE, the age of LOVE for all the living. God bless America, the rest of the world love you.

A heads up regarding Clinton campaign.

A new fund, the "American Leadership Project" based in California is seeking 100 Clinton supporters to each give $100,000 to fund its $10 million effort to support her candidacy. This group can take unlimited contributions.

Obama supporters have contributed nearly one million individual people to donate to his campaign.

Don't let the wealthy take over funding the Clinton campaign. This seems unAmerican to me.

So when will he be vetted by the media????????

To Not Again. If you can't tell the difference between Obama and Bentsen, then there is no convincing you. The man makes sense and luckily he hasn't been in Washington long enough to be tainted. He is asking Americans to change, and that change begins at home. I am using energy efficient bulbs, raising my own food, walking instead of putting my gas-guzzling SUV on the road. I recently vounteered at a high school as a tutor. I am creating the America that I want to see. Hopefully, all Americans will do the same. Get off the couch and get out and see what a great country we have. And for the places that aren't so great, pick up some trash and haul it away or volunteer in that community. I guarantee you will feel better and make all the Americans you come in contact with feel better.

Hello,

Wow! I voted all the way from Norway for Senator Obama. It is good to see MY voice in this process.

It may not be clear to Americans, but the ENTIRE WORLD really loves Senator Obama. He has not only inspired Americans, he has lifted the hopes of millions across the globe.

It is really quite amazing for me to see – as an American who travels frequently – the unabashed enthusiasm for him as well as the wide variety of people who support him.

From Australia, Malaysia, China and Japan to Nepal, South Africa, Russia, Poland, Morocco, and Brazil – and everywhere in between it seems.

It would be a veritable tragedy if somehow he were not elected president. Although, many around the world would LOVE for him to lead their country.

One 55 year old man in Italy asked me, "Do you think Barack would come to Italy after his 8 years in office in the US? We could use a guy like him over here."

There is crises ib Serbia You think Obama is experinced enouh ti handle three to four cises at a time.

Hillary's supporters, GET OVER IT!!! Boy you guys are really not helping your candidate with your "If Obama gets elected, I vote for McCain." Good take your sons and grandsons to war for the next hundred thru one thousand years!!!

I agree we need to change, Bush has made that a very easy stance. But what has Obama done? He talks of change but what has he done as a senator? What makes him so great? We had a mayor in our town that wasn't connected politically and everyone jumped on the bandwagon of his 'we need change' views. He was awful..he was corrupt, ust with different people... our city is struggling to get out of the mess he left. That's my fear with Obama..listen to the views of the candidates please.. vote for who you really believe in, not who the media or Oprah tells you to!!

Obama is a joke and so are all his voters. Do you notice when asked about his accomplishments most of his voters come up empty headed LOL on National TV too. GOOOOOOOO Mckain because that who the next president will be if Hillary is not the nominee. We will sit out this 2008 Genaral Election and laugh. Obama the divider not the Uniter.

This garbage about Obama being in experienced has to stop. He is the right man to deal with global issues.

Remember, experts built the Titanic, a novice built Noahs Ark.

we now have to look beyond this primaries and caucuses and pray that God helps him to be a god and successful president.

Hillary's finished. How is she going to counter Obama's momentum? Getting angry? That doesn't work with Hillary. It hurts her. She's been made ineffective.

I didn't think it possible. Shows me Obama is ready to lead. He stood up to the Clinton machine and beat both of them. Both of them. Gives me shivers typing that.

By the way, I loved how all networks went away from Hillary's speech in Ohio after she lost Wisconsin to Obama. That's a sign even the media knows you're yesterday's news. That was a sly, deft move on the Obama campaign. Change is coming. He's leading the way.

O-bama in O-EIGHT.

Even if Obama eventually wins (which is by no means certain with Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas coming up), I think that the more he can be tested and challenged to defend himself now, the better off he's going to be when the Republican attack machine gears up and all ethics and morality get tossed out in favor of retaining power.

You all should read the book "How to Rig an Election" by a former Republican operative. Very disturbing.

Hey anon...

In their 300+ votes in the Senate Clinton and Obama have voted differently a total of 10 TIMES. So much for your rubbish partisan voting record argument.

I am in complete accordance with John in Texas casting 1,000 votes in the Senate does not make you any more ready to by President than someone who has cast 300 votes. It comes, down to character, vision and the ability to bring people together to make positive change. Obama beats both McCain and Hillary in all those categories.

There is nothing in the Constitution about what qualifications are necessary to be President other than being at least 35 yrs old and a US-born citizen. I have read the "Blue Print for Change," I have the watched the debates, have listened to Obama's (entire!) speeches and have decided that no other candidate would be a more effective leader for this country. I have no doubt he will surround himself with only the best advisors and finally heal our image around the world and solve the crippling problems this nation faces at home and abroad.

08bama!

What can one say but obama The young preacher will be facing off with the war hero. The people are not quite ready for a women president, they were the last to have the right of vote and it will be only after a big lost that they'll be ready for her but by then it'll be to late. She is being call a racist power hungry revengeful person only because she is trying to run like the men are. I will miss her and i respect her for still trying to get up every morning to help the people in trouble. She worked so hard for universal healthcare in the 90's and deserves at least the credit for making it the platform of her rivals. We'll miss you Hillary . Get some rest cure that cough we still need you in the senate .

Those people are out of it! Why do you think they're living abroad?

hey anonymous, you will need more than "focus on Texas and Ohio.

Im tired of these right wing nuts saying "Macain and the republican attack machine will chew Barack up and spit him out" We will not be intimidated by all your politics of the past!

I think this is time for Hillary step down to save time and energy for Obama to fight for the general election in Nov over Mac Canne. If people vote for Hillary because her husband ,former president Clintan, they totally wrong. I don't think she listen to her husband if she become president of United State after all he did for her during the time of his second term with all ugly scandal. Hillary want to be president to feel good for herself and to prove to Bill that she can make it just like him and to revence him .

I am still not voitng for him!!

Obamamania, Good or Bad. Well I think your interest in the race is good. I just hope you have taken the time to research this candidate you are voting for. What has he done. What specifically is he going to do and How is he going to do it. I have heard him promise everything under the sun to you all. Where is the money to do these things. I dont see much substance in him. From what I have seen he is just a good talker, and this is a candidate for president not a rock star. Why would people faint when they hear him or cry. Better look closer at this man. Remember we are electing a President not a Rock Star.

Robert Kennedy, Jr. supports Hillary Clinton! While others compare Obama to JFK, JFK's son likens Hillary to his own father!

HILLARY '08!!

[Here's my edited version corrected for spelling]:

Have any of the analysts started speculating yet about the impact that an Obama sweep could have on the fortunes of other simultaneous political races in Congress, or on governors' races? How long would his political coat-tails be if he not only becomes the Dem candidate but also wins the election? Food for thought…

Hey Not Again,

If this is the plan to beat Obama,

"The Republicans are going to chew Barak Hussein Obama of Hawaii and Kenya to pieces. We're going to run this guy against a salt-of-the-earth real American hero? I can't wait for the next version of Lloyd Bentsen vs Dan Quayle moments during the McCain/Obama debates. Obama, you're no Martin Luther Kennedy!"

Than there is no reason for McCain to run against Obama. Obama is above beating his opponent negatively. This is why we believe that he is for change that unites the country not divide it.

Obama 08'.

I think Obama will do a great job and who wants Bill again in the white house?

An Obama supporter in this thread claims 85% of Hillary's supporters will support Obama. In fact, polls are showing as many as 40% of Hillary's supporters will NOT back Obama. This represents a core base of Democrats which the party requires in order to win a general election. The man has proven very capable only of exploiting a national mood and engaging in relentless advertising. His 'ideas' heave been late in coming and are generally culled from his opponents, past and present. I predict the jubilation of the Obama followers will be very short-lived when the fickle press falls out of love, as they always do.

Hey every one out their..........Is everybody tired of watching Hillary nod her head up and down every time she speeks?
I heard today, that China is making her a bobbing head doll painted with lead paint with a note that says.......Thanks for the Free Trade Agreements.

I find it funny that Hillary Supporters are now going Anonymous

Frank

Friends of mine from Spain, Venezuela, Columbia, Italy, UK, and India have all eagerly asked me if I've voted (for Obama of course).

Obama has world opinion in his favor. That's one hell of a thing to have....On Day One.

Have any of the analysts starting speculating yet about the impact that an Obama sweep could have on the fortunes of other simiultaneous political races in Congress, or on governors' races? How long would his political coat-tails be if he not only becomes the Dem candidate but also wins the election? Food for thought...

I was wondering when our votes would be counted. I voted in Holland on the 5th for Obama.
It feels good to know that I contributed, even from this side of the pond

Let's go change the world!

I'm happy to hear it.

Obama at home and aboard, now that’s a presidential candidate that we should all be proud to have. It is time the Democratic Party lead by Chairman Howard Dean starts putting pressure on the Clintons to step aside the people have spoken. How many more primaries do we have to have to show that this man is a winner?

Hillary may have missed her time to run. The ppl clamored for her to run for the 04 election. She turned it down. Now, it is becoming more and more evident that the Am. ppl wish to turn the page.

and I am lucky to have universial health care-I can go to the doctor anytime I want and not have to pay a dime-I yrly mano, and blood work and any test needed without the worring of have to come up with the money to pay for it-Hillary knows what she is talking about-trust from someone that has this luxary!!!

Thank god I'm Canadian-Hillary, come run our country!

JOHN IN TEXAX; BLESS YOU. SO WELL SAID AND ALL SO TRUE.

DEMOCRATS 08!!!

if Obama won the pledged delegate and the superdelegate vote for Clinton to win, can he change sides become independent, I think he have a great chance to win. if she win McCain will get my vote!

I'm surprised at the number of Democrats that have stated they will vote Repbublican or not vote at all if their candidate does not win the nomination.
Are we so childish that because we don'tt get our way we would subject ourselves to 4 more years of Bush-like presidency?
It is ok to stay in Iraq for 100 more years? Do you think you're better of now than you were 7 years ago?
I think everybody needs to take a deep breath,and understand only one candidate can win the nomination.
Non participation or jumping to the other side hurts the party. We all should be better than that!
What democrat wants 4 more years of George Bush?

anon: "We need someone who is independent and can get things done: John McCain!"

Someone who can get things done, like bomb Iran and stay in Iraq for 100 years? No thanks

I am soon to be an expatriate! You people can't be serious about Obama! You would think he was a god! You morons... he is just another politician! An idea of Oprah after she saw the response to his 2004 speech at the Democratic Convention. His track record is not very impressive. Look who is putting him over the top, Sexist White Males and African Americans who only see color. Stop being sheep and think for yourselves! Stop letting the media sell you. He has far more money to spend than Hillary... so if you were CNN or any other news outlet depending on advertising dollars, who would you want to win... Please support someone who knows what they are doing and don't pay attention to the hype!

America needs to take back its government. We need a leader to inspire us to get involved. We need someone who is not calling half the country evil. We need someone with a positive message and who can get us working together to meet the challenges that we face. WE need a young energetic leader. WE have had a government of experienced people and tell me how they have performed? We need to get fresh ideas, and not all like thinking people. We need someone to save us from the moral police and right leaning zealots that have overtaken the Republican party. WE need someone supported by the people and not the corporate lobbyists in Washington. WE need to show we are a country that doesn't fall pray to the stupid emails that circulate the internet with false stories. WE need Barack Obama!

Well, I look forward to the debate tonight....I hope the media will start to get the hard to answer questions out to Senator Obama! If he wants to be President lets here specifically how he can justify disenfranchising millions of democratic voters without aliienating them. He claims he wants to go by the rules...........then I guess Kennedy and Kerry would then have to support Clinton.

But rules be as they are, this is for the Democratic Party – and not just for Senator Obama! If he were as wonderful as everyone claims he is with his fairness, etc. – lets hear the explanation.

In my view, Senator Obama and the rest of the candidates abandoned Michigan I guess to keep in good graces with the DNC. Senator Clinton led the way and left her name on the ballot in support of the voters! Perhaps one may say that she agreed and then went back on her word. Well, sometimes we all make a mistake and then go back and correct the mistake. But the bottom line is, she took affirmative action on behalf of the voters. Then – as in playing 'follow the leader' everyone left their names on in Florida.

Senator Clinton and her programs are for EVERYONE.........unlike Senator Obamas healthcare proposal which excludes millions of Americans – not far from the millions he is intending to exclude from the nomination process!

Now THAT is devisive!

Ah yes, now he is the one that can bridge the hatered towards us and foreign countries. Irac will just love him, and Iran well, there is no stopping the love they will have for us if Obama gets to be President. The whole world then be so happy. Where has Obama been all this time. Hail Ceasear!!

Obama has united Americans abroad, just like he will help reunite the rest of the world behind America.

RPF, you are so silly. Those are American citizens leaving or working abroad voting for their US prez. It is not foreigners voting. Please read articles clearly before you embarace yourself.

McCain has a blond Lobbyist!
Obama has Slum Lord Tony Rezko!
I am going to vote for Hillary Clinton!!

Hillary's 527 group started attacking Obama in Ohio and Texas. This is a desperate move in order to offset Obama's fundraising advantage. 527 groups are allowed to raise unlimited amount of money from wealthy individuals. Unlike the Clintons, Obama is fully funded by the people. Obama supporters should combat this by going to his website and donate more money.

Just one more thing-the only reason why obama is ahead.....most state allow rep to vote in dem primary- Rep are scared to run against Hillary, therefore, they go out and vote for obama in the primary to ensure that she will not get in, and change in the general election....

I love to be inspired......however at the end of those great words, what inspiries me more is following those words with hard work-not he says will do any good if he can't follow through-and researching his history-he has no record to fall on

Don't we still want the dream team?
I thought most of us were united in wanting them both on the ticket.
Did this change?
Are we only for one and against the other?
I still hope for the ultimate- the dream team.

I did not know much about Obama but have learned what I can. This man is about healing our nation. I am with him all the way. I loved the Clintons. But we havebeen there and done that. Obama is our man

Hillary Clinton, you're the best!

We are confident you will make a wonderful president. You have worked hard for us in the past and we know you will continue to break down the barriers that stand in our way to build a strong nation admired here and around the world.

Thank you for having the strength and courage to keep standing in the face of so many folks attacks. No one can say you have not withstood the test of time. Keep standing up for us. We believe in you as the best choice for our country, right here and right now!

I'm officially confused.
I just wanted the dream team
Have we lost it?
I hope not

barrack a-bama sucks. he has no experience and hes all a conspiracy. u people are so dumb, his speeches are bull and he will screw this country over even worse than now. GO HILLARY!

Obama you have inspired the whole world. You desrve to be a president.

Hillary is not a quitter, she will always go the extra mile, And always with that extra smile...

With all of the years of EXPERIENCE that McCain has, why hasn't he been able to change things. Now I'm suppose to believe that he will suddenly come around to what needs to be done ? I don't think so.

Will the CNN ask Barack Obama the tough questions tonight?

For instance: What is Baracks legislative accomplishments?
We know about his community service work in Illionios, what else has he done? Why do change your voice delivery when speaking to a mostly African American audience? Go into Preacher mode? He has all these plans, how is he going to pay for it. And I don't want to hear go "to my Web site" Why is it fair that he can go after Hillary and John, but when they go after him in questioning his experience, thats deemed by the media and Barack its personal attacks. Isn't it about time that CNN and the rest of the media, put their personal opinions aside and vet Barack like everyone else running for president? Have a debate that is fair and not one sided.
If the people are allowed to see his inexperience to rune this country, I think his pied piper approach will start to fade. There has to be substance behind the inspiring speeches-CNN its your job to bring out the substance tonight for both candidates. I will be watching!!

CNN WILL NOT POST ANY OF MY COMMENTS ON HERE BECAUSE THEY ARE BIAS AND THEY ARE FOOLS. I USED TO LOVE CNN, UNTILL YOU COMPLETLY DISRESPECTED HILLARY THROUGH OUT THIS WHOLE DEM CAMPAIGN

The handwriting is on the wall.

HELLO......THE AMERICAN AWAKENING HAS BEGUN.....PEACE

HOPE is alive EVERYWHERE! I donated as soon as I heard the news.

For all you doubters.... Obama has more political experience than Hillary! She's been 'misleading' you. Obama has 8 yrs. in Ill. legislature. 2 yrs. US Senate. Hillary has been US Senator 8 yrs. That is all the 'political' experience she has... wake up!

Woopy, the next thing is the FROG JUMPER"S OF AMERICA.
Don't worry, if ya beat my girl Hillery, if you do, you've got
w good woopin waiting for you from Big John in the general
election.
One way or another your goin down.

I would have originally backed John McCain, but he has flip flopped on too many issues. He originally despised Bush, but now he backs everything he stands for. Okay, do I smell desperation.

GO OBAMA. McCain and Clinton stands for the same old tired politics that we have become accustomed to. We need something new. The Republican Party should considering tapping into more youthful sources.

SUPER DELEGATES VOTE FOR CLINTON WHEN THE PEOPLE WANT OBAMA HOW THE HELL IS THAT RIGHT. THEY SHOULD JUST STAY THE HELL OUT OF CONTEST. THE WHOLE PROCESS SHOULD BE WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT NOT DEALS MADE IN SOME BACK ROOM. THE GOP FORCED THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB OUT ( ROMNEY). NOW THEY STUCK US WITH A PUPPET LIKE McCAIN.

Oooh another donation to the Obama campaign for me!!!!

Obama '08

anon:
John McCain isn't "independent" he is an extension of George Bush.
He won't get anything done. It will be more of the same.

AMERICANS WHO VOTE FOR OBAMA ARE BLIND AND ARE FALLING IN LOVE WITH SPEECHES NOT SOLUTIONS................. WHAT A DISGRACE

For all of those that seek "HOPE". One have to live a hopeful life.
From your mother's breast to RIP, without "HOPE" what a very empty
life. OBAMA '08

Greetings,

I hear a lot people here talking about Hillary's experience? What experience?

Her first lady experience? That's a joke.

Her great support for Iraq and NAFTA?

Her ability to change her opinion from "in support"(when her husband was a president) to "against" when she is trying to run for a president?

Don't make me laugh, and this latest ad about "working night shift," what an insult to every working American citizen who actually worked a night shift.

Her attitude to "win at all cost" makes people sick and certainly does not change attitude of other countries towards us.

Barack Obama already has support from Japan, Africa, and Russia(yes, Russia).

I'm from Russia, and U.S. has been at "war" with Russia for centuries, and this election can actually change hostility level between the two.

I live in Canada now, and I everyone I know here supports Barack Obama.

Obama, 08.

11-0 for Obama!!!!!!!!!!!

Another big blow to the clinton campaign. That's 11 straight wins. WOW! That definately shows a lot.

Let's make is Happen Texas, Ohio.

Obama '08

Ever heard the phase " GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT"

Well the people are SHOUTING AND VOTING!

O B A M A ! O B A M A ! O B A M A !

These SUPERDELEGATES NEED TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE AND GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!

OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE AND HAS FAILED HIS OWN STATE OF ILLINOIS. HIS VOTING RECORD IN THE SENATE IS DISTURBING, FOR EXAMPLE INSTEAD OF VOTING YAH OR NAH, IT WAS OVER 200 TIMES NA.? EXPLAIN TO ME OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHY HE WOULD VOTE NA TO VERY CRUCIAL ISSUES?

we all should care what the world thinks of us, we are a very powerful nation, we should be able to keep our heads held high and Obama can help us become the great nation we once was... we need someone who can really work across party lines.. we need trust and good judgement from our leaders... and not someone feeding us the same old lies and the same old BS... why can't we as people give someone with good ideas and can connect to all people, given a chance to help make improvements... He will not be making changes all by himself.. we will help him!!!

for all of you that are yelling go obama, ask yourself what is he standing for? name one thing he says he wants to do or is going to do. Can't think of one! neither can i !!! go hillary

His accomplishments in change in Washington is Long.
His website will list them all. He is an honest man
We don't know how to treat honesty in America

OBAMA 2008

I wonder how much Oprah has contributed to Obama's campaing...

I just heard on MSNBC that there has been few empty seats spotted at a Hillary Campaign in TX!!

And, 2 of the super delegates in NJ switched to Obama

And, Obama won the democrats abroad delegates (11)

hmmm Hillary that’s 11-0 You might wana patent that like the Patriots before the big Super Bowl Loss in OH and TX

Now if we can just get CNN, particularly Wolf Blitzer, to be the same with Hilary Clinton as they, and he, are with Obama. In other words, be the same 'dog with a bone' and report consistently every negative thing you can find on her and play it over and over and over and over again. Play over and over the number of times she has used his words, incidentally without his permission or suggestion. Your bias, particularly Blitzer's, is showing and is as shrill as her voice.

Someone in TX needs to find John and give him some diet pills.

Mccain '08

"Rest of the world also want to see the worst president in the US history. "

Clearly you've been sleeping for the past 7 years.

I hope Obama's followers have another 32 million a month to send to him – he's going to need it to pay for the college tuitions, jobs and health care that he's promised. And if people can come up with this kind of money in one month, where were they when they were asked to help in Katrina; buy equipment for our military (yes, families were sending helmets and body gear out of their own pockets) and how about the homeless in our country. If he were a real American icon, he could have coericed millions to give millions for these causes.

Maybe we should have gone to Pakistan and voted over there. Now we've outsourced our entire election process too! Disgraceful.

Thank you Dems. Abroad!

lofty speeches?? our best presidents we're the best speakers. ( Lincoln, FDR, JFK)

too young?? wait... how old was Bill when he entered office?

Sen. Obama has been a leader and uniter all his life. He is the American Dream and I will be proud when he represents our country. Obama '08!

its very clear that Hillary and her tactics are not working! Give up the fight we can all read your fine print on campaigning strategies.

Senator Obama is just as qualified as Hillary Clinton. He has done more for the Democratic party in this little space of time in comparison tothe Clintons with 35 + years of exerience. The Clintons care about themselves and they will distroy anyone in their path to kept power and control over the party. i do not think that the American people will stand -by and alow "them" to steal this election from Barack. It is time that people who doubt his capabilities stop. He is more than just "words". Yes, I am not surprise that he won the overseas vote by again, another large margin.

Oh John, get off your fat butt and realize that you John are the lazy one. My how you have a temper–take a cue from Barack and learn to smile and move on.

Lay off those enchiladas in TX John.

Mccain '08

Obama acts and sounds like a dictator not a president. And I for one would not like to CHANGE AMERICA,to the point we no longer know what country we are living in!

Anon, please read U.S History book soonest for other unexperienced politicians that were elected US president. Senator Obama obviously is loved by Americans serving abroad. First Lady, now Senator Clinton doesn't have a constituent accomplishment list that is of note either. Senator Obama has not turned a $10,000 personal investment magically into $100,000 nor has he a Keating scandal in his past that cost US taxpayers 3. 4 Billion dollars. TIME FOR A CHANGE-OBAMA 08!

Given Obama's failure to even show up to vote on the Iranian resolution; and given his vote "Present" numerous times in the Illinois legislature, why should I not conclude that Sen. Obama lacks the political courage to be President? ( Especially if running against John McCain who has an abundance of both physical and political courage.)

you do realize to call him the candidate of KENYA is an attempt at fearmongering and race-baiting. He was born in the United States. McCain's ancestors come from Ireland. I don't hear you calling him the candidate of New Mexico and Ireland. What's the difference? Oh yeah, there is none, they are both american citizens born on american soil.

When Barack Obama becomes President ( I have faith in the American People to choose the right person for the right time) America will have much worldly good will on side. The whole world is Looking to Barack to change the direction of American foriegn policy domestic policy is a matter for the American people through their representatives to decide. I for one am looking to Hillary's sense of responsibility should she loose any of the next round states to make a graceful withdrawal, If she remains competative then Hillary should continue with good graces, however the behind the curtains double dealing by her campaign is putting the responsibility and good graces in doubt. I dread to think what will happen if McCain gets the top job this one WAR issue politician who knows very little about economics could be the final nail in the coffin of the US economy and world stability his pronouncement on the worlds conflict area's gives great cause for concern, at least one thing is clear the countries who have Nuclear weapons and delivery systems can rest a little easier than those who do not.

WHO'S ELECTION IS THIS ?

It should not be surprising that those not living in this country, should align themselves with the husband of a woman who hates America, until her husband starts to get some success.

I didn't know that expatriates got to vote.
Is this somrthing new this year?

Anon, Get your facts right.

Hillary, throughout her senate years sponsored and co-sponsored 20 bills.

Obama, on the other hand, sponsored and co-sponsored 820 bills !!

So who is more experienced? If you noticed Hillary stopped using that argument. Probably you should as well because it is a lie.

8 superdelegates went to Clinton???? Man... that just means that it about evens out then! SUPERDELEGATES are minimizing the voice of the people!!!

John in Texas – I think that 85% number is somewhat inflated. I'm a Hillary supporter and dispise Obama and will absolutly vote for McCain if Mr. Arrogant Empty Suit wins the nomination. Whats more, every other Hillary supporter that I know feels the same way.

americans living in other countries wont have to suffer under an Obama presidency like the rest of us.

Obama is the G. W. Bush of the democratic party.

To RPF,
Darn right US Expats can (and should vote). This has always been true. The difference now is that in the primary the Democrats were able to vote for a separate Expat delagation while the Republican had to votr in a "home' state in the US. All have to vote in their home states in the general election via absentee ballot proceedures.

You seem to imply that tere is some problem with Expats voting. US expats are the ony ones in the world that have to pay income taxes while outside of our home country...so at a minimum we should keep and use the right to vote.

Are you people stupid or just ignorant!!!! These so called overseas votes are americans – not other nations....I'm canadian female and find these sexist comment towards Hillary very distirbing!

WAKE UP AMERICA-THIS IS WHY MOST COUNTRIES HATE YOU....you ingnorance, and stupidity just digs you in a deeper whole with the rest of the world. Do you people have a short memory???? The clinton's in office provide you jobs, balanced the budget and a whole lot of other credit to there record. What suprises me most-is the AAC. the clinton always looked out for you-what has obama done for your community todate-hummm nothing and that trend will continue-

as for the oversea vote-11 of them super del support hillary, on 2 support obama-get your fact straight before to open your big fat sexist mouths.

Hillary Rodham Clinton ended January with $7.6 million in debt — not including the $5 million personal loan she gave to her campaign in the run-up to the critical Super Tuesday elections, according to financial reports released Wednesday.

In contrast, Democratic rival Barack Obama’s campaign’s finances continued to be robust.

He reported raising nearly $37 million and spending nearly $31 million. His cash balance was $25 million, of which roughly $20 million can be spent on the primary. He reported a comparatively small $1 million in debts, owed largely to just three vendors.

The January monthly financial disclosure reports glimpse a behind-the-scenes imbalance that has had a significant impact on the primary contest — one that continues in the days leading up to the critical March 4 primaries in Texas and Ohio.

As the Clinton campaign scrambles for cash, Obama appears on track to raise more than $30 million again in February.

Phil Singer, a Clinton spokesman, downplayed the disparity. “Thanks to an enormous outpouring of support, we will raise more money this month than in any other so far. We have all the resources we need to compete and win,” he said.

But the Clinton report paints a picture of a one-time front-runner under enormous pressure after miscalculating that she would wrap up the nomination before or on Feb. 5.

If her only Focus is on Ohio and Us...then what does that say about the other 10 states she has lost. This is a bad decision on her campaign...people see it. If she loses....I hope she could still be apart of the White House...without BILL

obama proved that how a powerfull speech can capture the
heart and soul of the most powerfull land on the face of the heart.
god bless him. maire khalili

The support from abroad only means those people have been living abroad. they don't seem to be aware what's happening in the country. the only way they have to see obama is through the media that has been bias.

oh harriet, he's talking about change from the bottom up, like a larger version of what he did as a community organizer, start making things better for a neighborhood and let that ripple out into the community as a whole. what did you think he was talking about? and for those that act like barack just came out of nowhere, i encourage you to go online and google his resume, you will read about his harvard career, his time as a community organizer, his work in the illinois senate and his work as a senator on capital hill. i think you'll be pretty impressed. also i believe barack is the first politician running for office who i've ever seen endorsed by some republicans, like a republican who worked with him in the illinois senate. i mean come on, when's the last time a republican had a good thing to say about any democrat, let alone endorse one. in fact there's a man working on mccain's campaign who said about a year ago that if barack gets the democratic nomination, he will leave the mccain campaign because he has so much respect for barack he refuses to campaign against him. seems pretty bi-partisan to me........

I would hope that Hillary changes her stance and bows out and keeps her dignity...Please, she is a good lady with good ideas and she doesn want to be know as the candidate who wants to win without the popular vote and least states.

Jack, you said yesterday you hoped we would be spared another negative campaign, well with the latest attempt to smear John McCain it has not only turned negative, it has turned evil.

I will have to second the notion of MB Atlanta that the American image as viewed by other nations is extremely negative. Even interacting with people from other countries online can be a bit disconcerting.

When someone asks me "Where are you from?" - there is always a bit of hesitance in my response. Aside from the hesitance, even more apparent to myself is the shame I feel to claim my native country.

I would say that the possibility of Obama getting elected makes me far less cynical about the majority of other Americans, maybe even feeling a slight bit of hope.

Yuck! What is this world coming to? Senator Obama, novice, leading. I cannot believe he is fooling so many people. If he does, in fact, win the democratic nomination, it will be at least four more years of inept leadership and bumbling and stumbling. My life has been turned upside down in the past eight years. I've been looking forward to a real leader, like Senator Clinton.
Sandra from Greenville

People are fainting everywhere he goes. Even when sneezes the audience breaks into cheers. Obama is not winning because of issues, or records of service, he is winning because of the "Rockstar Effect." And I bet most of you wasn't familiar of the name Barack Obama until this election. And yes, in states like South Carolina, Alabama, and Idaho, he won 80 plus percent of the black voters... that really says a lot. If Obama wins the nomination I would be voting for McCain. At least our first lady to be when he wins has a record of public service.

This is so cool!! Go Obama!

Oh brother. We are setting ourselves up for failure with Obama. The only thing I see in him is someone who believes he is an innovator such as MLK and JFK. Obama is not even close to their level. He's just full of hot air. No plans, just talk about HOPE and CHANGE. Mr. Obama, tell us your plans.....Hello?????

Big Deal

Big deal if he is the candidate he will lose to McCain.

McCain, who is all about war, is now going to war with the NYT. Hillary will fight, fight, fight, for you "all day and all night". Who knows why she served six years on Wal-mart's Board, collected her check, but did not fight for those employees. Obama will unify, integrate, bring people together for consensus. He will talk to "our enemies" which Hillary called naive. Yes, naive, because she will fight, she did vote for the war.

YOU decide!

RPF,
One does not lose their U.S. citizenship by moving to another country. So, yes they are allowed to vote.

Actually, no, the world does not want Barack Obama – the media wants Barack Obama. And like Lemmings off a cliff, our ignorant, sound-bite-oriented culture obeys what they say. Its been a Clinton bash-fest from the beginning, and few seem to want to actually look through the crap to see the truth of all of this. Obama is not ready to lead this country as President. He is an empty box w/ nice wrapping and a nice card on it. Obama-kins enjoy the ride, as this one's going to crash hard. And you think 8 yrs of Bush was tough??! As for me-a life-long Democrat, if Obama indeed wins the nomination, I will be voting for McCain this Fall. I'm not drinking Obama's kool-aid.

Although I like Mr. Obama, I would like him better as a Vice President. Let him run for president when he has time and experience under hisbelt. Why are more people supporting "change" which has not been proven, rather than experience? Do they not remember how good the Clinton years were??? I am an American living in Canada and I can tell you that if Obama wins the democratic nomination, I will change sides and go with McCain because he has experience and I feel safer with his knowledge of homeland security.

I wonder when the 'hands off' scrutiny of Obama will end. Any challenge to his ideas, credentials, background is met by a charge of 'racism' and the media plays it up. Why? I suppose the media is playing the endless journalistic game of 'build them up, then take them down.' Hillary was doing fine until Bill was silenced. The Clintons took the bait. They are not doing what needs to be done. They have been side tracked from winning the election to appeasement of false charges of racism. Ugh.
One final thought. Why is it the media did not play up the words of Michele Obama who fired the opening volley with the words 'Every black woman in America should vote for Obama. (she may have said my husband) Now if this is pure racism I don't know what is. But the real question is...why did the media hide from it????

Yes! I know an American in Amsterdam who worked hard for this victory - Americans Abroad have a very good grasp of the pulse of world opinion, and clearly made the right decision. I hope Ms. Clinton will now (or soon) graciously concede and return to a distinguished career in the U.S. Senate (remember Ted Kennedy in 1980?

GO-BAMA!!

I am smiling at this article. Smiling at all the Hillary supporters on their knees...haha

John McCain is Bush 2.0, so if you prefer America to be hated all over the World and wish to continue to see this country sliding into economic depression while the President claims it's not happening, please, by all means, vote for McCain- who would be the OLDEST president in recorded history...

That's exactly what this country needs, another 'good ole boy'... -sarcasm-

jp/michigan; Nice use of Karl Rove's talking points there pal. I read that article too, and I doubt that those arguements will hold water in the general election. I'm pretty sure that you are supposed to use "quotation marks" when you directly quote other people.

I believe that Obama is the best candidate because he seems to be the only one with a consistantly possitive message. Pack it up Hillary, and better luck next time

"February 21st, 2008 11:30 am ET

Who cares. The focus is on Ohio and Texas.

Hillary 08!"

Hillary? Is that you? I think what you meant to say was, "Who cares? The focus is on Hillary and Bill Clinton."

It is time for Hillary to take a good look at herself and see that SHE DOES NOT have a command in Chief abilities.

Someone needs to pull Obama aside and tell him that he needs to step down and endorse Hillary. His wife has never been proud of America until now. Wonder why? If you have never been proud of America then you have never been proud of Americans. If you are not proud of Americans then you sure don't need to be First Lady. After all, it isn't all about her. It is about American people.

Obama's win overseas is predictable. Only if you ever stay overseas, you will realize how much his humble foreign policy will make us safer and make the whole world more peaceful.

For decades our offensive way of fighting terrorists has been the major problem to the world peace!

33% victory... he's kickin her butt all over the globe now

How many electoral votes does UK have? How many does France have? How many does Cuba have?

"So expatriates, people who live in other countries are allowed to vote for the American President?"

Uh, no, more like American citizens who are living and serving abroad.

Wow, that's awesome. I'm not really surprised, because Obama himself lived for four years overseas, and as someone who lived for ten years overseas, I can tell you that many of us develop similar worldviews in keeping with what Obama has been advocating in foreign policy and in some of his specific policy proposals.

So that makes 11 in a row.

Yeah for Obama

(Undercover Republican)

Obama will bring on a fresh, new perspective to the presendency. Obama 08!

Obama supporters who are calling for concession on the part of HRC:

This race is still close, HRC won't give up with only a ~70 delegate deficit at this stage.... if it is still 70 delegate deficit much closer to the convention, and BHO is still leading in momentum, then maybe it should be considered.

Bottom line – there is no reason to leave now, or throw support behind a partisan, left leaning politician who has no record of accomplishment, but gives a dandy inspiring speech. My priest can also give a very inspriing speech, he is not qualified to be president either....

jp had it right, we need more scrutiny on BHO, not the love fest and coronation that has gone on in the media since Iowa.

Good luck America – remember we need a moderate to really get things done and work witrh everyone = HRC, not a partisan left pol = BHO

THanks to all the Obama supporters abroad!

I've never been as proud in America as I am now and I've been proud on the many great things this country has overcome and accomplished, but the fact the we as a multi-ethnic people can elect an African American into the presidency is awesome. This shows us and the world that the 390 years of dirty racial problems that are woven into american way of life can perhaps be cleansed from the american psyche. This is extraordinary. Old cultural traditions like racism die hard and takes generations to die out, but we can proudly say that we are close to the end of a hideous history concerning race.. We all, Whites, Blacks, Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans might just maybe able to live in a truly free and united America. Aren't we tired of in-fighting I know I am.

Hoorah for OBAMA!

Respected Americans both internal and external have spoken. The will of the people must be respected. You have tried it with an aggressive President, did it work? Do you want to try it with a handicap person this time? If I were you I would not risk it. The collective will of the people Can.

At this point, Hillary's campaign looks like a steaming pile of "fail".

Clinton should just concede and drop out while she's ahead. People have obviously made up their minds and are excited to support Obama. All her continued presence is doing is draining time and resources that would be better spent preparing for the general election.

The thing is, they are swept up by emotion. The people living overseas don't have worry about baseless talk and unreachable promises. The Americans that choose to live in America do.

@ RPF who said "So expatriates, people who live in other countries are allowed to vote for the American President?"

These are 'US Citizens' who live in other countries who want to vote for the American President. Many are stationed and/or deployed to these countries so don't you think they should have a say so as well?

So what! It was the same thing for Al Gore, and there is no President in the front of his name.

Thanks to all the Americans abroad who took the time to vote.

Obama 08!

It's about time we have a president that is view positively by the rest of the world.

Think about it from the outside looking in—to the rest of the world, there's no doubt that we need Obama. That means a lot.

Do you need inspiration from the new president after election?

1. Yes, so I will study harder to get good grades.
2. Yes, so I will work harder to get a raise.
3. No.
4. Not sure.

Your answer: ____

What has Hillary done? Google Hillary movie and then let's talk...

The invasion of Iraq has blemished our image in the world. Some in the rest of the world still considers us racists.Electing Obama can change our image in the world.
Obama/Al Gore2008

>>>Who cares. The focus is on Ohio and Texas. Hillary 08!

EXACTLY the sense that I got from the Clinton campaign over the last two months. And EXACTLY why I jumped ship.

To Anonymous,
So, no one was to care about the last 5 of 10 states either. If Hillary loses Texas OR Ohio, would you just STOP with the "Who Cares, it's all about ....the next state" line? You Clintonites have been saying this since IOWA!!!!! It's getting old and quite frankly sounds silly at this point!
The majority of our country has been voting for Obama, join us in voting for OUR FUTURE, not our past!

So people who live abroad voted for Obama ... maybe he should join them.

Hillary '08 ... all the way for the USA!

Obama is not the new JFK. He is the new Jimmy Carter without the executive branch experience or intelligence. We all can remember the "good ol' days" of Jimmy....

Geez, too bad my brother didn't get to vote – he would have voted for Hilary. Didn't get the chance to, along with other expats. It's not a true measure of who expats support.

At least they've seen Hilary outside the US.

Que the "Fat Lady"...
Where's my fork?

OBAMA '08

RPF: Expatriates are American who live and work outside the United States. They are true American and deserves the right to vote.

Dear Hillary, It's over. Just support Obama.

I consider this as another proof that Americans are calling for CHANGE. Let us give change a chance. Watch and see what the so called'on the job' training can do. Not by power, nor by might.

Congratulations from London!
Go Obama '08!

If not now...? WHEN? If not him....? WHO? THE TIME IS NOW!!!!! THE WHO IS "OBAMA". America is READY to receive it's new leader.Get on board....OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO ANON...YOU SAY WE NEED AN INDEPENDENT: JOHN MCCAIN. MCCAIN IS A REPUBLICAN. I GUESS MOST HILLARY SUPPORTERS FEEL BUSH IS BETTER THAN OBAMA.

SHAME ON THIS NATION

did the black lady became qualified to be Mrs. Clinton's campgain manager when Hillary started losing the black votes.?

If Hillary was winning the blacks votes, i don't believe that she would have made the change from a white woman to a black woman.

Kudos to the Dems for putting this voting effort together to support the American expatriate community! When I worked in the UK, I was told to fly back to the US to pick up an absentee ballot....????

What is John Edwards waiting for? If John Keeps Waiting,
his vote may not mean anything! And that would be a shame.

65-30 for Obama becomes a pattern ...

yeah, focus is on OH and TX...and Obama will win those too

I live in Texas and have seen some of Obama's advertisements of tv. He is doing a great job here no negative thoughts on his side, he just tells what he will do and it is good. Not one word about the other candiate.

I have also heard him on the radio again same nice ads.

Way to go Obama.....Keep it clean and just tell what you will do....

Texans for OBAMA 08

Congtatulations Again TO OBAMA 2008

Democrats Abroad vote vote for OBAMA is great. But, wait!
HE WON 65% of the vote and Hillary won 32% and he only
gets 11 delegates and SHE gets 11 delegates. What the
hell is wrong with that picture.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008

I realy wonder American people.Obama you will have your chance to lead America people beleave them.Go Obama go!

Great news today. 11-0. Not bad.

I think Senator Obama will crush John McCain in the General.

Time for Hillary to gracefully withdraw, or at least after March 4.

People should read Margery Eagan's article in today's Boston Herald on realclearpolitics.com, where although being an Obama supporter she declares that she's suddenly "very nervous" about the possibility that those who have pointed to his lack of experience and qualifications for the job might actually be right. How long will it be before others have the same awakening and which will play right into the hands of John McCain?

He seems to be all talk. What has he done in the Senate? What bill has he sponsered. He is no JFK and never will be. The media has hyped this man from the start. He will not beat Mccain. Many Dems will vote Republican if he is the Dems candidate.

Hillary, all along has been saying that she has the solutions for America, and yet she can't find the solution for Obama.

GREAT NEWS !!!!!! GOBAMA !!!!!

If it ain't Hillary and Sam Nunn it will be President McCain and vtce Huckabee. Remember McGovern? Go figure

i have lived abroad the best thing the world will see and change this negative impression of us is obama.

The rest of the world thinks of us as invaders, occupiers and killers of innocent Iraqi children and above all bunch of racists. Electing Obama
can change this world opinion about us
Obama/ Al Gore2008

RPF said, "So expatriates, people who live in other countries are allowed to vote for the American President?"

As long as they are still US citizens, of course they are. Doesn't matter if they are currently living in another country. US servicemen and women also vote, no matter where around the world they are stationed.

I will vote McCain....I am a democrat. I voted against Obama once.....we need experience.....McCain is a moderate. Works for me.....

I am happy for State for the big change and good movement now Obama is not just the man but a changer if American allow him. the world will be happy and peaceful from Sverige.

Why won't Hillary release her tax returns?

What is she hiding?

America has spoken. The world has spoken. We will be a whole nation of hope and promise once again.

Obama '08!!!

"Obama has accomplished very little in the senate and has a VERY partisan voting record."

anon: Find me a senator in recent US history who accomplished more in his first two years. Hey! I can find this stuff on Wikipedia!!!

1. Lugar-Obama: Expands Nunn-Lugar Act's ability to reduce nuclear arms. (Remember them?)
2. Coburn-Obama: Most sweeping ethics/transparency bill in recent history.
3. Feingold-Obama: Eliminates lobbyist gifts of travel, requires disclosure of bundled campaign contributions.

President Barack Obama,

YOU ARE BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED!!!!!!!!!

There is nothing worse than when someone asks you where you are from and you have to lie and say another country. I have visited more than 25 countries. Before Bush 43, I would proudly say I was American. Once Bush tarnished the view of America I had to start saying I was from Spain, Canada, Ireland, etc.

It's time that the view of America is restored. I like both candidates, but only Barack can do that. Trust me...I live it everyday!

Does that then mean that Obama gets 11 delegates & Clinton gets 7 delegates with 4 undecided? Anyone know?

In todays paper that covers the tristate are of Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia shows that Obama is leading in Ohio polls. Go OBAMA!!!

It had to convince Hillary supporters that the race is over, not to talk about Hillary herself.
They love her soo much they will even die for her, but guys its do us no Good if Democrats have to fight against each other. Sad .. it is sad for now maybe those had minded or die haerted Hillary supporters will accept losses for once and join the voice of all democrats.

Obama won majority at home and abroad that was not a fault of CNN.
Everyone change>
I beg you Hillarrance to join Obama because if you really cares about Democrats party, you have to do something now NOW is the time to stop and think.
God Bless you.

Obama lacks experience. he is all talk. He preaches what people want to hear, but there is no substance. I don't like either candidate. Besides, it is nice that in some states, 75-85% of Black voters support him. Talking about making this election racial. He won my state of Maine, but I am not talking about white states. I am talking about mixed southern states.

As a New Yorker,,,I still rememeber the fact that Hillary only attended one funeral during our dark days following 9/11.
And the one she attended was a media filled event due to the death of the much loved Father Judge.
Of course she was there at the memorial service,,,but again so was the Media....

I suspect in Hillary's world...its all about Hillary

"Rest of the world also want to see the worst president in the US history. "

We've seen him. He's George W. Bush.

Obama will remake Americans image around the world. His inspiring story will show that america is a tolerant place where anyone can succeed if they've got the skill.

Think of it as America 2.0, a brand makeover.

Seriously, ask any American abroad and they will tell you the DAMAGE that George Bush has done to the USA. Go ahead, ask them. Anyone who has vacationed abroad has head to endured dirty looks and lectures and badmouthing.

Hallelujah, the dark Bush years are over. It's Morning in America again! Go Obama 2008!

Hillary has won 3 of the 4 biggest States in terms of population and delegates: California, New York and Florida. Only Texas remains and she is leading Obama in what everyone knows is here territory there.

The democrats can't hope to win the election in November with Obama and I think a lot of superdelegates as well as other democrats are starting to realize this problem.

He has won none of the 4 biggest states which everyone kowns would certainly mean defeat in November for the democrats.

Hillary Clinton has already won handily in 3 of these 4 states!

Remember Florida in 2000!

So who wants to bet on Obama with the known risk that would imply for November?

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!11

To those who say Obama is inexperienced, I say top you.

THANK GOD BILL GATES DID NOT ASK YOUR OPINION BEFORE HE FORMED MICROSOFT!!!

Also, I have never heard of any other Vet who milked America because of his service as much as McCain.

Lets' move the USA forward. Go USA.

I wonder how many of these Democrats abroad would be living there if we had allowed Germany to take over Europe?

"Rest of the world also want to see the worst president in the US history. And of course, the worst first lady too."

Sorry, my friend, that title belongs to the W. The most worthless person to ever hold the Office.

How do they only have half a vote, that's ridiculous. What happens if it's uneven? Do they round up or are Hillary and Obama going to have 1213.5 delegates or something like that?

Someone suggested above, why not just send 11 delegates with a whole vote, that makes more sense.

The NY TIMES story about McCain only confirms that the day for wooing by candidates and lobbiests is a part of Washington tactics that has to be minimized. Obama can bring a breath of fresh air to the entrenched polotics practiced by beltway insiders.Change is coming!!

Is the Clinton camp still trying to claim a tie???

It is unfortunate that in this day of American cultural ineffectiveness, we continue to follow leaders who feel that it is both acceptable and patriotic to have a stance of non-communication with countries who do not dance to our tune. In reality, it is neither acceptable nor patriotic. It is simply idiotic. Thank God for a leader like Obama who understands this. We are great enough to communicate. And we have had enough of isolationist ignorance. It is easy to be proud of an America that does not frustrate 3rd world countries with arrogance. It is easy to be proud of Obama. Give intelligence a chance!

What is Hillary gonig to say now? That the demographics were not good for here too?

You know. Being able to be the "winning" candidate usually mean you win more than you loose universally. Not that you won a couple states with big populations.

Anonymous, if I were you I wouldn't be saying "Who cares?" about 11 delegate votes when Hilary is BEHIND...

American citizens and other people abroad talk about Bush being the worst presiodent and Obama not Hillary should be @ the Whitehouse.
Honestly speaking I feel both have similar policies but peolple feel they can trust Obama over Hillary and he is definitely more likable.
Frankely this image of his does matter.he seems to be without the "baggage"
Go Obama...!

I truly believe Mr. Obama cares about this country as much as he does about his own well being and that of his family. Mr. Obama may make a mistake but he will own up to it. He will then learn from that mistake and improve upon it. After observing Hillary the last few weeks I honestly believe she would not own up to her mistakes. She is the type of person to cover up a mistake to protect her image. Our nation needs something better.

I live in Canada, nearly everyone in this Country hates American's (not all of us), they see Americans as uneducated, overweight, resource hogs (I do not, you have compiled the greatest Nation and People in the Worlds history), this is not recent nor can it be attributed to Bush, they will feel the same with Obama, foreigners are concerned with nothing but their own agenda, having a president Europeans dont like is probably a sign that you may have the right guy for the job.

The reason no one questions Obama on his past is the same reason I hardly ever get my anti Obama comments published. People are afraid of the race issue. If they call him on his past, they will be called racist. Once again, color is ruling our society.

I think it was said best last evening. Hillary is a politician. Barack is a statesman. We've got plenty of politicians. We don't have many true statesmen (or women). I think it a bit odd that everyone is focused on whether or not the individuals can do the job. There has not been a single president that has done the job by himself. Good presidents appoint good people who are experts in their field, and put them to work. It's called their Cabinet. Barack's performance in the elections show that he is adept at getting the right people in the field, and leveraging his organization's strengths to play against Hillary's organizational weaknesses. Hillary's own people have admitted they're getting beaten on the ground repeatedly by a well-organized and effective Obama organization. To me, this shows that Barack knows how to get the right people in the right jobs, and make them effective. That, my friends, is what makes a good president. That subtlety is missed by the Clinton campaign.

I feel that if an American chooses to move to another country and take up residency there, they should not be allowed to vote in our elections. What is the point of all of this. If you choose to live elsewhere then become a citizen of that nation, get involved in their politicis and leave us alone.

If these people are sent there because of their jobs, this is another story.

I just don't understand, why our tax payers should even have to foot the bill for these people.

Its funny how Hillary supporters always say who cares when Obama wins. With all their egss in Ohio and Texas, what will they say win/if she loses those states as well. I started out a Hillary supporter over a year ago, but her tired politics made me quickly change to Barack. People keep downing his policies, when they are not that different from those of Sen. Clinton. I want Barack to get the nod, but if by some miracle (and I don't mean a cheating one) Hillary wins, I will support her in Nov. I don't thnk she has a snowball chance in you know where of beating McCain, but I will support my party's choice. The ultimate goal for any Democrat should be GET THE REPUBLICANS THE HELL OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!! PERIOD.

The people who live abroad and have seen the impact of the current administration seem to know what would be best for America – An Obama Presidency is a step in the right direction to give our country a positive image where they live as well! Obama 08!

I dont understand this at all, the media quickly bashes Clinton, but are scared to death to say anything about Obama. You guys havent been fair to her since day one. Mrs. Obama insulted the US the other day, but its quickly forgotten about.

As an American living abroad I agree with the comment regarding feeling uneasy during Bush's presidency. Bush ruined the respect people once had of Americans while traveling abroad.

I, along with my friends (even those that are not American) have been following this election closely. Initially, we were in favor of either Obama or Hillary but after the way Hillary has run her campaign, from negative attacks to leading her campaign into a budget deficeit, it has become more and more clear that Obama is the best candidate for the Democratic Party. I hope to be voting for him while living abroad come November.

It shows how global Obama's popularity is.

It is a movement! Good for the country, which many people do care.

This just goes to show who absentee voters will be supporting in November. I hear the troops are also supporting Obama!

IT IS OVER!

Go Obama! We know you can help us change our ways for the better! It is time to stop being afraid of each other and learn to help each other succeed whether we know each other or not! This is one atheist who thinks that Obama will bring people together to watch out for each other and learn to help one another instead of worrying only about those we know or agree with our religious ideals. Let us help the children who need us – let us help the homeless, the poor, the seniors without families. Let us unite to change how we view each other and other countries!

Americans abroad are the best judges of foreign policy as they have first hand experience of how America is viewed abroad. The old mans arguement that Obama is inexperiencedc in foreign policy falls flat with this mandate

I cannot wait for Obama to win the Presidency and finally be exposed as the inexperienced talk show host that he is. I cannot believe how many people he has fooled.
People want motivation, than purchase a Tony Robbins DVD for cryin out loud. This man's plans are sketchy at best and he has no business running a country.

God save the US!!!

Obama is a POLITICIAN people! He will say ANYTHING to get you to vote for him. But the proof is in the pudding...YOU think he will be able to deliver on his "promises" barely knowing anything about this charlatan and his foot-in-her-mouth wife. If he gets elected he, will be just another president with more than he can handle, every president elected in the last 60 plus years promised changes and we are still waiting for those promises, that is what happens when people get fooled by empty promises lacking substance, typical of Americans brought up on celebrities like Oprah and others of similar ilk. NO one can really change our fossilized political process without breaking the Constitution to make those "changes" , YOU are being had big time! Some day you will wish for the good ole times of GWB!

If not HIllary, then McCain but not Obama the pretender!

Anonymous: You should care! It's all of the Clinton supporters that try to downplay losses that are making this election ugly!

Obama is truly someone who can restore America's tarnished image. He is a leader and he will bring about much needed change. Its about time to distance ourselves from the same old millionaire politicians who do nothing for our country but talk.

He is an average guy who is willing to give up so much to fight for his country. McCain and Hillary both represent the same ol dirty washington politics of yesterday. Enuff is Enuff. We want someone who cares about the average american. We want OBAMA!

This is what is going to happen in Texas and Ohio. It's disgusting from the Democratic party that their superdelegates continue to support Hillary in big disproportion to the voters will. I really hope that vuture will bring changes that would reduce the possibilities for this type of undemocratic trends.

One of the definitions of most electable is getting the wins in the large states. Pretty hard to win without California and Florida for example.

Remeber, in the open primaries independents and Republicans can vote as democrats and will play a role in selecting out candidate. Wonder what theri motivation is? MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm...don't think they will pick the strongest candidate. Karl Rove does it again and he's hiding in Vancouver.

How come the other MSM Outlets like CNN are N-O-T covering this ???
U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E !!!!!!!!!!!

New York City Still Tallying Votes
By Robin Shulman

NEW YORK - It's been 15 days since Super Tuesday, but New York City is still waiting to find out if Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. Hillary Clinton won the most-contested areas.
The Board of Elections has acknowledged that errors in reporting the election day tallies made it appear that Obama had received not a single vote in 55 election districts, when in reality his votes had simply not been counted, said Valerie Vazquez-Rivera, a spokeswoman for the board. In another 27 districts, Obama actually received no votes, she said.
Vazquez-Rivera attributed the discrepancies to human error as exhausted inspectors rushed to copy columns of numbers to be delivered to the police and then to the press.
"People have been working 16 and 17 hour days," she said. "There were instances where they just left the Obama field blank."
But Tuesday, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, described the results as "fraud."
"If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that's a euphemism for fraud," the mayor said.
No election districts reported that Clinton received no votes.
A representative of the Obama campaign said the campaign was not concerned, and blamed the layout of the ballot, in which Clinton was listed first and Obama came fifth, right next to candidates who actually received 0 votes in many districts.
The Board of Elections expects to announce official elections results for the city next week. It is common for cities and states to take weeks to officialize their results, including absentee and provisional ballots.
But in this hotly contested election, Obama's uncounted votes could make a difference. On Feb. 5, Clinton won 61 of New York state's 62 counties, but beat Obama in Brooklyn by less than 2 percent, a margin that could be affected by the miscount. More importantly, tallying an additional several hundred votes in some districts could help Obama gain several more delegates.

Congratulations Mr. Obama! We will continue to unite and get everyone aboard (abroad?). We will never be a perfect nation and you will never be a perfect leader. We know this, the people of this country are aware that it is up to us to work hard and to work together. This is the United States of America and the word United will take on a new meaning. Thank you.

GO OBAMA! YES WE CAN! ITS TIME FOR CHANGE!

Congratulations Obama on winning the Global Democratic Vote. You truly are a freshing change this country needs.

Anonymous February 21st, 2008 11:30 am ET

Who cares. The focus is on Ohio and Texas.

Hillary 08!

The focus should be on "reading the writing on the wall". ITS OVER!!!!
Even if she wins Ohio and Texas,she won't win BIG enough to help her!!! She will still be behind!!!!
What about this do you not understand???? The HillBill show is over!!!!
IF you had a clue about how this process works, YOU WOULD CARE...The Clintons care,and it scares them! They need EVERY vote they can get!!!!

America, do not sit there and loss your global credentials. As this process requires us voting on party level abroad. Although, I am not an American.The next round is selling your integrity out to the East. Please, please, be aware of goats in sheep clothing.

Thank you Democrats Abroad for making this primary possible!
Obama in 08 with support from central Europe.

It is just so easy for all of you "liberals" to continuously throw the Clintons under the bus. The Democrat party would not be what it is today without the Clintons.

Obama is NOT the second coming of Christ that you all think he is!

These democrats abroad, I believe, also include the troops.

Correct?

Obama 2008!

I am for Obama, but was keeps puzzling me is all the random negativity about Obama's message. The guys who is question his want to change every city, county, state.. Come on brother. You can't admit that our country is in need of inspiration? New goals? New pride? It has been too long since our country has actually stood up in the global community and claimed its leadership role. Peace, love, Obama '08!

I cant wait for the day when all those Obama fans realize that the man they voted into the office was selling a dream...turning into a nightmare on day 101 of his presidency.

Being a dual citizen from Europe living in the US and still reading foreign newspapers daily I belive the people who can restore respect for the US in the world are McCain and Clinton, not Obama.

I thought the republican party and the Bushes are the worse thing that ever happened to America!!!

Tell me which other candidate for presidency of America has shown the vitality and intelligence Candidate Obama has shown until now in American History!!! (Except Kennedy )

Show me one first lady who is as smart as Mrs. Obama. And don't go telling me that she said she wasn't proud of US because you all took her words out of context.
Those who did took her words out of context just showed their stupidity in public.

Tell me when is it that we americans have had a candidate who was Black and at the same time white? When did that ever happen?

When I am talking to my sons and daughters, I never know when they are talking as White people or as Black people. These are a category of people apart from all of us. And in America, there are several people who are so mixed that you don't even begin to know what part of them is chinese, greek, german, african, irish, indian or other. My mother is a mixture of greek, english, turkish and persian from her ancestry.
My father is scottish, indian and french in his line of ancestry.

My wife is african american and cherokee, but I suspect she is even british according to some members of her immediate family's ancestry.

What do you make of my children?

America has made the world a better place than any other continent except for Africa by making it possible for such groups of people to meet and live together. we just need to make it a better place understanding world for all of us, an equal opportunity place.

Well, I am one white man who supports the children that we have had the courage to bring into this world who happen not to be of our race.

Lots of white women are out there marrying Black Football players and so on or other successful blacks, and even not so successful ones; do we think their children are going to stand by as we favor our other (white) childrenover them for ever?

Blacks have long accepted and integrated mixed children in their race. It is high time we also claim these children to be our own.

I claim mine. I teach them how to be a white man or a white woman, and my wife teach them how to be black men and women in the same person, so they wouldn't be cheated on by anyone from any of their ancestry. They deserve the double benefits.

We need to stop the ignorance. Black and white are human being with equal status.

When I vote for obama, I am voting for a better america. Not the old apartheid and slave one.

Yes, the world is watching, and I like what they see. Talk about a global perspective and more affirmation that this nation is ready and due for CHANGE.

Hillary there are several thousand long distance phone calls you need to take. Oh that's right, they are not important either.

And just to remind you you elitist, entitled thug: These weren't caucuses, primaries, purple states, red states or blue states ... H'mm, have I forgotten anyone you've dismissed 11 elections ago? People can see what an empty plan and promise maker you are across the miles, oceans and seas. Your image, integrity and decency is everything and it ain't transportin' too well either.

Obama has accomplished very little in the senate and has a VERY partisan voting record.

We don't need yet another inexperienced, partisan president!

We need someone who is independent and can get things done: John McCain!

Dear RPF:

The answer to your question is.... Kind of.

They are allowed to vote because the Democratic Party is basically a private organization choosing who it will support for the public election.

They will only be able to vote in the public, General Election if they are still citizens of the US, I believe.

Fired up!
Obama '08!

It is time to get real. It is time for solutions. Hillary must get real and get out of the race. It is obvious she has not been able to find good solutions to her sinking campaign. How can America trust her to have solutions for a change hungry America.

As these are people who are somewhat detached from the flood of media coverage at home, I do not see how they can be labeled as Obama-bots, Kool-Aid Drinkers or Mesmerized Cult Followers. More importantly, they are seeing first hand how badly our reputation has been damaged abroad, and I would also suggest that most of them are well educated and have independently researched both candidates. They did not vote in red states or caucuses, they simply voted. While I agree that the Clinton's should never be counted out until the last vote is counted, it seems it is time to take a hard look at the writing on the wall...if it is not over then the last lap is being run and Senator Clinton is nearly out of breath, if not rhetoric. It is time for change, and not just a change of the party in power but one of politics as usual. Obama '08.

The truth of the mater is this, if she does not win BOTH TX and OH AND win them with a HUGE lead, then she should concede, otherwise she will be hurting the whole party by dragging this all the way to the convention

AND, at this point she would have not only lost the nomination, but also she would loose any of the respect, the people "had" for the Clinton's

She is walking a very fine line!!!

In the other hand, if she wins big in TX and OH, then she earned some face value to stay in the race

I truly doubt she will win any state with large margins at this point

Who is Obama? Empty words? Do nothing Senator? Secret collusion with lobbyists while presenting a false image opposing them? Taking money from Renzko, the crook, and supporting his slumlord practices? What are his legislative accomplishment? [None is the true answer.] An empty shirt who sounds like a paid inspirational speaker on the circuit. [Look at all his phoney metaphors and canned phrases: "Houston it looks like liftoff", "lets give a shout", "just words " plagiarism, "stew me and boil out the hope", ] Jeeeeez, this guy can manipulate the gullible public like the snake oil sales man that he is. WHAT HAS HE DONE? WHAT IS HIS EXPERIENCE TO QUALIFY HIM FOR THE LEADERSHIP OF THIS COUNTRY? EVEN INTERVIEWEES FOR THE LOWEST JOBS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE SUFFICIENT EXPERIENCE. HE DOESNT EVEN QUALIFY TO BE ON THE STAGE................GO HILLARY.

The thought of this man running our country terrifies me. If Hillary doesn't win, I'm team McCain all the way.

You know...

If you look at the popular vote, Obama has 52% to Clinton's 48%. That's hardly declaring the will of the entire Democratic party.

How can anyone make that declaration until all primaries are held? I think it's good that we have 2 viable candidates until the last primary is contested.

I hope that all of the individuals that post comments in this area appreciate the irony of the decisions they want to make.

All of the same people that will vote for Barak Obama to end the war, will be the same people in 4 years from now that wil be demanding the return of America to stop the genocide, much like those same people advocate hekping in Sudan.

The decision has already been made, most of YOU agreed with it when it happened, it has happened, and now it is time to deal with the consequences; this is not a conversation as to whether it was a good idea to go in, its already done, the decision is does America turn its back on the good people of Iraq that are interested in change and democracy, by leaving the only thing you have done is identify every reasonable iraqi citizen and you can be the reason for their death in 2008 if Barak is President.

This is the perfect time for Hillary to end her campaign and fully endorse Obama, It is likely but not certain that she will lose the nomination so a withdrawal now and full support for her rival will re-abilitate her in the eyes of many, dispel her critics and her her party and country unite. plus she will put herself in a really good position for a VP pod. everybody but the roght wingers will be satisfied.

I doubt she has the grace to see things hat way however which is precisely why she is in the position she is in now.

Yes We can!

Obama´s change is borderless. THAT'S A REAL FACT!

This is a start to the healing of eyes from abroad. The global statement has meaning-you can't take that for granted. I'm an indenpendent, but I think that Obama has far more potential to improve the way the world looks at us than does Hillary.

I'm not sure I will vote for in Ohio yet, but it just might be Obama.

For JP/Michigan;
Do you really believe that if there were something worth finding out about Obama that the Clintons would not have used it by now?
Don't kid yourself. If there was something worth "vetting" they would be spewing it all over the place.

This "not fully vetted" argument doesn't fly and everybody knows it.

bravo obama! hillary is all out to hurt our candidate and nominee before going down.
people have spoken its time to go home hillary. politics is a game of timing,once you miss your timing you are gone.

rpf, i may live in a different country, but i am still a u.s. citizen, have a mortgage in the states, own property in the states, PAY TAXES IN THE STATES...

by your reasoning, people serving abroad in the military should not be aloud to vote.

we are u.s. citizens and thus constitutionally entitled to vote.

Finally, she made the point that opposing comprehensive immigration reform is tantamount to supporting amnesty, because it allows the present situation to continue. I've heard John McCain make the same point. (At least I think it was him–it's possible that it was some other non-Hillary candidate.)

Everyone here in the US and abroad knows that he is honest, has integrity and will lead with the people, will restore our credibility, will work with us the people to create more jobs, will dialogue with all nations just like many nations want to dialogue with us, instead of bombing people.
While McCain and Hillary keep saying experience, look where we are with the so call experience, we have gotten nowhere, most of the world hates the policies, most of the world and most of this country is against the war, which those two voted for and keep supporting......we in the whole world and here in the US are living with the consequences of their so called experience, which is but old politics, fight fight fight, and never consider any negotiations, never sit with other nations but impose impose impose.
The true American values are not war, hate and lies, the true American values are equality, fairness, choices, dialogue, and such.
Only Obama can bring those back to the table............

"We can do it! Change!"
They just need your support and vote.
Nobody is going to let you do or change anything.
Do you really think with the economy problems this country is facing it's possible to achieve all the promises and at the same time to change all the mentality in “Washington”. It looks to me like a new revolution, but most of the time change doesn't do any good – not for us. Or it’s going to take a long, long time for a change to be accomplished. Can we afford it?
Words don't mean anything and we know that better then anybody.
I hope that our next president will make America proud and all people in America happy. I am scared and I am afraid it's all promises -weather it Clinton, Obama or Mccain. We are the once who suffer.

This is great news. It goes to the point that Obama would make the best President right now. We need someone in office that not only appeals to Americans but to those Abroad.

We need to reestablish ourselves as a powerhouse again. We are in more danger of terrorism now than before 9-11. Insurgents that did not exist prior to 9-11 in Iraq are there now. We need someone that talks to the people. This isn't just America's election, this has become a global election. We need someone that will talk not only to our allies but to our so-called enemies.

I use the term so-called because had we not have had Reagan, Bush, Clinton(who did have a moment of economic glory thanks in part to dot.com markets) and then Bush again we wouldn't have these "created enemies" Who had the most to gain financially in going into war in Iraq? Bin Laden still hasn't been caught and when the planes the World Trade Center Bin Ladens' family were taken out of our Country when their was a no fly order enacted.

While we continue to allow the Bush Administration to drain our country dry, other nations are putting their money into their future...the youths. In China only 1% of the children attend private school.

"For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country" because the level of participation is heart warming. Now people don't want to give credit were credit is due...(but we know why this is)
America is beginning to feel United. United does not just mean states united, it's beginning to mean " The People's United States of America" We are in serious trouble folks and this level of participation should extend into our backyards. We need to make sure we elect people that will have the constituents interest not favors. Congress woman Stephanie Tubb Jones D-Ohio, stated that even if her constituents voted for Obama she would have to give her super delegate vote to Hillary because she gave her her word. Now yes your word is your bond as we say in the hood but how about your commitment to your constituents? Being a leader is not doing favors for a candidate but to keep your word to your constituents.

So not only do we need Americans to vote for President but we need to vote in our state. Your participation or lack of will create the future Super-delegates so if you are not happy with what is going on it will have to change from " the bottom up"

Obama has a chance to be a great president

Harriot

Not sure you've noticed but Lou Dobbs is aggressively against Obama. I think he still has hope for an independent like Bloomberg to run-or he just wants to sell more books. He's so obvious it's pathetic.

Has anyone noticed the only emails he reads are ones that compliment him, and say they've just became independents.

If there is any bios in reporting Lou Dobbs is at the top of the list.-and he certainly isn't for Obama. Or is it just that CNN want to keep Hillary in the race to continue the primaries. After all, their ratings blow through the roof right now-which means more revenue.

OBAMA RUles

RPF,

Yes, expatriates do get to vote because they also serve their country.

She argued that our young men and women in Iraq are doing everything we ask of them; it's the Bush administration and the Iraqi government who are letting them down. Edwards has argued that our soldiers have done everything we've asked of them; it's our government that's letting them down.

Who cares. The focus is on Ohio and Texas.

Hillary 08!

She talked about how, if video stores can keep track of their tapes and DVDs, surely we can keep track of people here on visas, many of whom overstay them and become illegal immigrants. I've heard Edwards make the same point, except he explicitly cites Blockbuster.

She said she didn't want to be part of the first generation of Americans that didn't leave the country better off than when they inherited it, which recalls John Edwards's line about how we don't want to be the first generation of Americans whose children do worse in life than they did.

These are the voters who know and deal with the international opinion the most. If they are voting Obama, that means that the places they live are likely supporting his message as well.

People I have just realized that Obama is a combination of Martin Luther King!!! and John F Kennedy!!! If he is about change which i belive he is. He will have the greatest potential to lead this country in a right direction.

My family in England have been watching this election and even though they are not U.S. citizens have been rooting for Obama. The world needs America to be its leader and they know that America and the world can begin to unite again with Barack at the helm.

I see Obama as the Ryan Leaf of this year's Presidential election. Played well at the college (state) level, and is all hype, but once he gets behind center, he won't measure up.

VOTE FOR SOLUTIONS, NOT EMPTY PROMISES!

VOTE FOR SENATOR CLINTON!!

He's STILL not going to have enough come the convention, Hillary isn't going to back down, and it will be up to the Superdelegates. Unless collectively they are all bribed by the Clintons, I can't see them putting the skids on what is clearly a populist explosion. Obama's going to get the nod. The last nail in the coffin would be a timely endorsement from John Edwards before March 4th...

Pledged to whom?

The report is interesting but is confusing and leaves out important information. It appears that there will be 8 superdelegate votes at the convention with two presently leaning toward Obama, two toward Clinton, and four undecided. It also appears there will be 7 pledged delegate votes at the convention, but pledged to whom? The report doesn't mention this salient fact. Are we to infer that they are pledged 100% to Obama since he won the vote? Or will they be apportioned? How?

Americans must look at this vote for Obama, by the Democrats Abroad Global Primary, as a crucial element in choosing our nominee come August. If our country is to rebound from the humiliating term of George W. Bush we need to elect a president whose appeal will transcend our national borders.

Message to Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton

For America, for the world, please step aside and join the "majority " that are hunger for change, hunger for the beautiful America I still remember when I was a child. ( I am now 68 years old )

I remember America as a shining beacon, an example of what hope, liberty and equality was all about. Please don't stand in the way but instead celebrate and rejoice with Obama and the people of the world in uniting behind Obama and America.

Thank you.

Imagine... a presidential candidate that is virtually scandal and corruption free. Someone that is honorable, respects himself, his family, the US and its citizens.

HOW REFRESHING!!!

OBAMA, 2008!

Obama has momentum in the US and abroad. Go Obama!

large % of american living abroad are students
& they are aventourous¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

I'm voting Repub. if Obama wins. He will ruin this country (Obama that is).

She talked about goals "I hope will bring our country together," a la Barack Obama.

In response to a question about excessive partisanship, she talked about how she's not running to be president of the states that voted for Democrats, she's running to be president of the United States. This closely resembles Obama's "I don’t want to pit red America against blue America. I want to be the President of the United States of America."

obama is the man

I voted for obama in united kingdom.Obama 08!

This is very interesting! I think this is telling to Obama's popularity all over the world. Surely, the Democrats abroad who decided to vote were influenced, to some degree by members of the communities that they live in.

This was a week long primary, and I think it qualifies as a good, comprehensive gauge of Obama's superior appeal to members of the international community. I am very excited about the United States' potential to regain a respectable standing with other countries around the globe.

Thank you Senator Obama!!

Another win for Obama.

Maybe his next speech can include something about walls and handwriting too.

YES WE CAN!

Wonderful!!!

You folks shouldn't be counting your chickens before your eggs hatch. You could end up with a bit of egg on your face. The really GOOD news for Obama is that he is still the media's anointed one, and the media is now gunning for McCain. However, now that they are taking their focus off of Hillary it is an opportunity for her to rise from the ashes. Remember, don't mess with Texas. Texans don't like people telling them who's gonna win and who they should vote for. Also, there's another way of looking at Obama down in Texas - maybe he's got a head that can wear a really BIG HAT, but he stil got NO CATTLE.

Another thing about expatriates and their right to vote in US elections. . . Not only are they citizens, but expressly BECAUSE they live abroad they are impacted in many ways by our administration – especially foreign policy.

These are the people that are affected in a very big way by foreign policy. . . and they voted 2 to 1 for Obama. What does that tell you?

RPF, those people abroad are american citizens working abroad. get a clue....geesh

Go Obama Go

Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island — Let's wrap this up and secure the nomination for Obama. We have the momentum. We can end the back and forth, and begin the campaign for the Presidency with your help! Mobilize for Obama and deliver a strong win for us in your states. If you do, if each of your states rise to win for Obama, the pressure on the Clintons to suspend their campaign and support the Obama nomination will permit us all to begin the work of building a national movement for change that will culminate in a November win against McCain.

We can do this. We can make history together. We can send a message to the Clintons, to the DNC, to the Super Delegates, and to the American people, that we are ready to stand up for ourselves and each other, that we are ready to embrace the urgency of this moment, that we are ready to be empowered — in short, that we are ready to elect Barack Obama President of the United States of America.

Yes, We Can!

We are the Decider

I recently attending the Obama rally in Dallas Texas and I was truly amazed.

He spoke of MLK the "Urgency Of Now" I really didn't have a clue of what he was talking about . So, I went home and google it.and watch it in a way that I never seen it before. I invite everyone regardless of skin color.

The lesson is a simple, it take all of use working togather to make change work.

In my life journey I will continue to help those to make positive change happen in my life time.

I love our world and I love the United States of America, and like Michelle Obama, I too am very prould of America. Let's roll up our sleeves and get busy.

I find this great that expats can actually be invoved in US politics while abroad. I am awaiting the day that this country actually fixes the voting process here domestic. So many of the voting poll sites in NY had voting booths that were broken. Its 2008 and we still have yet to come up with a better system smh sad! Well at least we have a system abroad that seem to be doing well great!

Harreit Hollander:

What are you talking about..he is talking about fixing roads..hospitals, schools, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Why are the superdelegates not responding to the voters? Are the Clintons cashing in "political capital" to steal the nomination?

One has to wonder what is going on behind the scenes.

As an american living in Ireland, I was delighted to have the chance to vote in the primaries, and I look forward to voting for Obama in the general election.

I suspect that the political coverage here might be even more detailed than in the US - Irish media and even my local university student paper have covered the Democratic contest closely, state-by-state.

Of course, political junkies like me turn to the Internet for political news these days.

Way to go!

Go Obama!!

YES WE CAN!!!!

Of course expatriates can vote in US elections – they are still citizens, and will most likely return to live in the US again.

And I agree with the poster that wrote that those living abroad are acutely aware of which candidate can repair the world's image of the US (and it is not the polarizing Senator Clinton).

Very Good point Aaron! These are americans that are abroad RPF! basically a chance for those people off shore to have a say! But Aaron has a point! they voted for him without the rally's and "lofty rhetoric" so maybe that saw the issues!! WAIT A MINUTE that cant be right! LOL

Obama is kicking some behind, man! Keep it coming.

Clinton should drop out for the good of the party.

Let's not drag out this defeat any longer.

We need to gear up to take on the GOP.

RFP

Have you ever heard of people living in other countries due to their jobs..or in the service...why does everything has to be about how patriotic you are? These people are still citizens of the United States, what is your point?

Yeah only the media to show you the differences.

According to them there are not policy differences?

Dont fall for Republican tricks and vote Obama, its what they want!!!

In an election that should be an overwhelming victory for democrats now with Obama we have a dog fight!!! Whats now in play, elders, latinos, veterans. And if your going to point to polls showing an Obama lead over Mccain then consider:
A)not one poll has been correct, more than half miss their margin of error
B) Its called the electoral college and it matters what states you win. Obama will lose Florida, maybe Cali. Obama will lose the Southwest

Obama touts lobbist reform as a major accomplishment, McCains name is on the Bill for god sakes!!! Its not McCain-Obama for a reason!!

Hillary said they dont count.... so that is it they dont count............
look up the sky is falling

I think that sometimes those living abroad have a clearer view of the candidates. They are not getting pummelled with headlines from the media. They tend to get their information from reliable, less sensational sources. Sometimes when we are barraged with the media's infammatory words, we lose the forest for the trees.

Let's not be victims of the sensationalism of media. If you want real information about the candidates, go to their websites and look at their position papers (or just the summaries they post under "issues"). This is a big contest and we need to make informed decisions rather than just repeat what we see in the headlines.

Look into it folks. And read the history on the candidates – their successes and their failures speak volumes about them. Wikipedia has good biographies on both candidates. We can't afford to get it wrong this time.

Who care's??????? Even "intelligent elected" supporters can't even name one accomplishment he has done while being a Senator? How sad is that! No wonder our country is in shambles, nobody learned one thing from electing George Bush, Jr in 2000. We reap what we sow.

True, this is interesting and a clear sign that Hillary should do the appropriate thing and drop out of the 2008 race. She will have 8 yrs to get her act together.

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is because the countrymen/women and all around the world, people KNOW we need Obama, and NOW, not in 4 years and not as a VP.
The world KNOWS we do not need another Clinton run.

Do this make it 11 in the row????

Obama 08

Barack Obama – 65 percent, Hillary Clinton – 32 percent. Democrats Abroad will send 22 delegates to the Democratic Convention, with HALF A VOTE EACH, carrying a total of 11 votes. Eight of the 22 will be superdelegates. (22-8)/2=7 votes.... And I wonder how did they split these 7 votes...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Why do people even bother to vote? ))

Uhm,

Wait for Hillary to say that people who live oversea dont matter.

One question that has been puzzling me lately is Hillary's claim of 35 years of experience.

If she's that experienced and qualified, how come she not able to manage her campain better?

Despite lending $5 million to her campain in January, her campain still finished $7 million dollar in debt in January 08.

She needs to call it quit so that the party can unite around a common purpose.

jack caffrey is sounding more and more like an Obama supported.
He seems to be saying some very positive things about him .and using lots of wisdom ,

I am glad he has finally come around to our side ! Keep-up
the good work .

Cnn has a good team,presentations and analysis has been great !!!!!

Hey...I'll give you one better:

he won by a 2 to 1 margin in a 'Canadian' poll for President over Mrs Clinton.

Obama for Canadian Prime Minister in 08'

(all we've got are a Stephen to the left and a Stephen to the right...)

If you're interested in restoring our image across the globe, you have to like Obama's support from the people that actually live abroad and are tuned in to other country's perceptions of America.

How the hel can people who are consideredd "expatriates" vote in the national elections?

If this does exist...we need to seriously fix this abortion of national politics.

11 in a Row! WOW!!!

CONGRATS OBAMA!! OBVIOUSLY THESE PEOPLE MADE INFORMED DESISIONS AND CAN'T BE ACUSED OF BELONGING TO A PARTICULAR VOTING BLOCK, EXAMPLE, ALL WHITE, ALL BLACK, LATINO...WE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

GOOD FOR THEM!!!

This is the more reason why Obama is the One to lead our country and the world. He's getting landslides at home and abroad. Hilary should face reality and simply concede. I can't believe how power-hungry she is.

Hillary, Hillary, it's time to concede defeat and move on.....

"We are the change we have been waiting for'
Barack Obama

If we all believe in our power and vote we can carry Texas. At that point, Clinton will have to concede for the party and we don't have to go into the convention fighting over superdelagates.

Obama 08

Lets see, we have 2 for Obama, 2 for Hillary and 4 undecided. That sounds to me as if Obama does not have a lock on this race.

I am a Republican and I was so moved by reading "Audacity of Hope" and hearing him that I will vote for him in November. I also made a small contribution.

I just cast an early ballet in Ohio for Hillary Clinton. I am perfectly comfortable with giving her four years to change the course of our nation. In my opinion, and from this election forward, every president will truly have to present a compelling argument to keep the White House for a second term. I see health care as the single biggest domestic issue, with America losing its competitive advantage by continually asking corporations to pay for employee health care. Government *can and does* do great things if it remains accountable to its electorate. This nation has great education, infrastructure, military and they're *all* government programs. The only way health care could be mishandled by the government is if We The People don't involve ourselves in the process. Mrs. Clinton is, in my opinion, the best qualified candidate to work for a responsible health care plan.

Obama has united Americans abroad, just like he will help reunite the rest of the world behind America.

Even Americans living overseas see that Obama is the best person to lead this nation in troubling times. Clearly, actions, not just words have inspired these people. Let's get real.

It's just another indication that an Obama presidency would improve how we are perceived around the world.

Yeah, aaron from virginia, it has A LOT to do with the 'only positive' media attention toward this empty suit.

Great job my fellow democrats. All the pundits said the dems would win in November unless they find a way to mess it up like they always do. Well guess what my friends, we're doing it by putting Obama up too soon!

The Republicans are going to chew Barak Hussein Obama of Hawaii and Kenya to pieces. We're going to run this guy against a salt-of-the-earth real American hero? I can't wait for the next version of Lloyd Bentsen vs Dan Quayle moments during the McCain/Obama debates. Obama, you're no Martin Luther Kennedy!

Like I said time will tell. I see this country in worst shape if Obama gets in.Chrisma and flashy glamour cant run this country.Ill bank on know how and experience. Someone that has been helping folks through out the country for yrs.It seems the country and media forgot all the good that was done by the Clintons.The media is slamming her and making it hard for her to win.They are praising Obama for their own ratings. America better wake up before its to late. The devil comes in many faces. It will tell you what you want to hear ,and promise the world to you to get your soul,than your doomed. He was a nobody until the Media pushed him with his smooth speeches,hopes ,and dreams. Remember he dont know nothing about foreign policies and this war ,where Hillary does.When the pied piper of politics cant perform his promises ,hopes and dreams,blame no one but yourselfs for voting for him. Ill stick to reality.Go Hillary

I am certain American expatriates are discerning, wise professionals, who have a more objective grasp (often times) of global issues than those back at home.

I am encouraged by their overwhelming decision in favor of Senator Obama's candidacy.
I hope the overall interest in US politics continues. Politicians are less likely to get away with fraudulent practices when the populace is paying close attention.

he won by 33% than how does she get half the delegates is this that new FUZZY MATH??

To all Hillary supporters:

The exit polls show that 85% of Hillary voters would be fine with Obama as well. The latest exit polls show Hillary vs McCain (nationwide) has McCain winning.. The latest exit polls show Obama vs McCain (nationwide) with Obama winning. Use LOGIC and figure it out!!

In addition, constantly saying Obama has no experience is stupid. You don't need experience. There is no training for President of the US. How do you train for things like 9/11? New technologies like cloning, etc. You don't. You pick someone based on their character to do the right things. The fact is, there are so many checks and balances in the system and so many advisors that you can't screw up unless you try (like Bush).

In addition, if you want to know what Obama will do.. Why don't you get your lazy butts up and read his 64 page BLUEPRINT FOR CHANGE on his website! It details all the things he would implement...

So much for your Empty suit propaganda....

Good news! Unfortunately, it will be underscored by the McCain-Iseman lobbyist scandal and the Obama-Clinton debate tonight.

Obama in 08!

Yes, we are not bombarded by the media over here. We have to do our homework on the candidates. The tone all over Europe is heavily favored toward a candidate that can heal foreign relations with the world. I am glad that my vote counted in the first ever online Presidential Primary!

YES WE CAN ABROAD!
OBAMA '08

You"re right..That statement is so true! So, there is no excuse from the Clinton Clan, nor the Republicans!

People want change it's as simple as that. They see it in OBAMA. Like him or not that is the reality. He's become a movement. How do you stop that? Two fantastic candidates, it's a shame only one can win.

The media is surprisinly mum about the vote count in NY.
As a matter of fact I'd bet this comment doesn't make it through.

February 19, 2008 - Mayor Bloomberg charged yesterday that "fraud" was behind the unofficial results in the New York Democratic presidential primary that produced zero votes for Barack Obama in some districts.

Yes that is interesting Aaron. But I'm sure there was also quite a bit of interaction with well-rounded Europeans (I'll probably tick somebody off about the well-rounded Eurpeans comment, but the fact of the matter is, it's true) People who keep claiming Barack doesn't have substance apparently don't bother to LISTEN to coverage and/or READ informative articles & writings. Reading & listening can do wonders to educate one on many levels!

People around world are seeing what "yardies" ie Americans in the USA are seeing. They want the change because people really do hate the USA around the world. Obama really is a bridge towards changing the world's view of us. And I am glad Americans abroad supports Obama's change to this HUGE goal

I am with you Aaron.

Obama '08

Clearly those abroad have not been influenced by the "kool-aid". I'm sure they can appropriate the idea of his presidency to their situations abroad.

Global appeal. That's more of what we need in the White House. We need change backed by a strong leader. He's the only one representing that to date.

Go Obama – Time to rally around the best candidate. Hillary, please do the right thing and step aside for you will be lost in the tidal wave that is coming!

This is a clear indication that Obama is also supported even by those who don't hear him speak.
So Mrs. Clinton, Barack Obama is not just a "talker". The people knows that he is more competent and more able to move America forward than you.

If i was you Hillary, I will prepare a gracious exit, instead of ruining your chance for any political future in this country.

The people wants Obama not you.

Yes but it also shows that Obama has power overseas as well!
OBAMA 08, can't wait for the bumper stickers!!

I'm sorry Mrs Clinton, it's very clear now you have no chance in this election. If you win the nomination, I will vote for you, but we democrats must unite to take on the Republicans, and lead this country towards peace and prosperity. With that being said, I shall vote for Obama if he is the nominee.

I bet Hillary is saying...

'Some days it's just not worth getting out of bed"

The world wants Barack... what can i say.

Obama 2008!
American's in Stockholm, Sweden support you!

I give up no matter how much we smear and mudsling this "kid" he just keeps winning...

Thats not suprising.......America has spoke and now a good portion of the world gives there opinion. ALL these people can't be taken in by just "good speeches with no substance" WAKE UP AMERICA

OBAMA 08

Expected reaction from Hillary Clinton:

"Well, you know, this primary really doesn't matter at all – everyone knows that Canada, Mexico and the UK are all Red states!"

What I find interesting about this is that it clearly has nothing to do with regional Obama organization or inspiring rallys.

I once lived overseas and was a member of Dems Abroad. It is obvious why Americans living abroad chose Obama. Americans overseas are faced daily with the negative view that many foreigners have of America and our leaders. It has been an uneasy 7 years for ex-pats with Bush in office!
During the World Cup Football games in Frankfurt in 2006, every country participating was proud to display flags and sing praises to their country. When the US started its match against Italy, my Dems Abroad friends and I hesitantly stood to sing our national anthem in a public square. We sang proudly but that moment of unease before we stood should never have happened. There was no excuse for our administration to put us in a situation in which America is looked at differently now than in the past.

Obama can change that view of the US overseas.

The man is ready to lead.

Awesome. I voted for Obama from Korea, on Feb 5. Finally I see the results!

I see we are now all in agreement Obama/Edwards all the way. How about that Mccain who knew him and Bill had so much in common Hillary can console Mccains wife can explain to her how to pick up the peices. I'm sure she is devestated.

The support Obama has received from Americans living abroad speaks strongly to his ability to connect with a global audience. Having lived abroad for extended periods myself, I can attest to the view it provides on how our global neighbors feel about US policy and its influence on the lives on ordinary people around the world. It is no mere coincidence that while Americans abroad prefer Obama, so do many citizens of the countries in which they reside, as the "Obama-mania" witnessed on Bush's recent visit to Africa attests. For the world Obama puts a new face on face on the United States, and it appears to be a face the world likes.

Obama said in his Wisconsin victory speech something like: We will change every city, every county, every state! That is a frightening statement. Lou Dobbs reports a poll that says the media tilts to Obama. If CNN is truly objective, this statement by Obama should receive very intense scrutiny by all voters. Maybe he was continuing his pattern of overblown hype, but his words–and he thinks–words–are important–suggest a belief that he thinks we need to overturn our everyday way of life– in our cities, counties, and states.

If 22 delegates each have a 1/2 vote... why not send 11 with a vote each and call it good? At the very least it will save Hillary 11 phone calls...

McCain/Rice '08

Rest of the world also want to see the worst president in the US history. And of course, the worst first lady too.

Go Obama!! Show us American Dream!!!

Mr. Obama has not been really criticize before. He has not really been vetted by the media. McCain and Clinton questions his eloquent but empty calls for change. Obama declaration he won't be beholden to lobbyists and special interest groups. He has not broken with any lobbyist from the left fringe of the Democratic Party. He says yes to the lobbyists of the AFL-CIO. He won't break with trail lawyers, and now he goes out of his way to proclaim fidelity to the educational unions. He cannot proclaim his goal is the end of influence for lobbies if he only influences he seeks to end are lobbies of the center and the right. Why is the media afraid to question this man on his past, the present and about our future?

Yeah! Another win for Obama. I see a clean sweep here.

I honestly believe this race is over. I was a Hillary supporter until the past few weeks and the tactics I've seen she's been using.

I saw a recent poll today. Obama is closing in to her in Ohio. He's down 9 when a couple of weeks ago, he was down 19. And it's all but ties in Texas.

I an a women, and as much as I would like to see a women in the "house", I would much rather see our nation succeed.

Obama goes global. He's the man!

Someone who loves Hillary (Bill?) really needs to take her aside and explain to her that if indeed she wants what's good for the party she needs to shelve her immense ego and endorse Barack Obama. I know she believes she is the president we need but more and more she must realize that WE THE PEOPLE do not!

that's 11 in a row~!!!

If you're "the most electable," don't you have to win elections?

wining everwhere in the world include US over hillary clinton makes me wonder why is happening about it, it is because he is very honostly for the American people or it is because is very kindly and emotion about his speeches . how??????????

They know that Obama is the only one capable of repairing Americas Image abroad. Thats why they voted for him.

Great! Way to Go Obama!

Just another sign !

America Is Ready
Obama 08

So expatriates, people who live in other countries are allowed to vote for the American President?

i am so happy about the result. i think it is hightime for Clintons to quit the race now and let the democrat get well prepared for the general election.
