CNN

If Hillary wins the primary, then I won't vote again. Well, maybe I'll vote for McCain. I would have voted for her four years ago, but now it's time for Obama. He can identify with the immigrant exeperience better than her.

-They keep saying everybody wants universal health care....well I don't want universal health care because I don't want them putting a verichip in my arm. So they can keep it.

Time for the Bush~Clinton Dynasty's to go away!

Barack Obama ~ a breath of fresh air that is so needed by this country now, more than ever!

Obama 08

It is scary how the media, specically CNN is influencing this election and is failing to provide unbiased information. It is clear how CNN commentors support Obama and almost ALWAYS say negative things about Hilary and Bill. It is also scary how the American public is so brainwashed by the Media's opinion.

I DON'T THINK HILLARY DID ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE VIEWS OF

THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTERS BUT…..SHE IS FABOLOUS!!! AND I AM A BARACK

SUPPORTER WHO VOTED FOR BILL!!!

UNDERSTAND THIS PEOPLE……..THESE TWO CANDIDATES ARE

BEAUTIFUL FOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND FOR AMERICA AT A

TIME WHEN IT IS NEEDED MOST. NO MATTER WHO GETS THE

NOMINATION, I WILL BACK THEM 1000%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS TO BOTH NOMINEE'S

DEMOCRAT 08

I think its advantage Hillary, look at it this way; which spot would you rather be in ?

1. Obama is ahead by 69 delegates but he is going into Texas (he's down by 50% to 45%) Ohio (He's down by 10%), Pennsylvania (He's down by more than two to one) He's down also in VT, RI & most likely KY !!

OR

2. Hillary is down by 69 delegates but quickly racking up Supers and ahead in the aforementioned States. Id rather be in her spot

She really showed what she is made of..!! Can you believe how Obama fumbled with his answers.. Now we all should know that Hilary is the better candidate..!!

I think both candidates are promoting change. Hillary has been speaking about it for the last 35 years, but no one cares to listen. Obama harks change and has an excellent speech writer and a great marketing image maker in his entourage. She is the best choice, but would do better with Obama's marketing team and unbiased journalists.

To those people with the nasty comments, I am glad you are not running for president because this language is unacceptable. You have lowered yourselves more than any of the candidates do to each other. Unfortunately Hillary will have a hard run due to narrow minded thinking people like you who promote hostility. I am happy to say that I am not on "your" team!

What an end! Hillary was superb!

You go Hillary...you are the most brilliant. Obama scares me.

I always knew The Pantsuit was the wrong candidate. The Dems are wising up and choosing Obama, a winning candidate.

Obama sounds just like George W. Bush – and that is really too much!

Clinton has always had a harder task than Obama. As long as the media continues the Big Obama Sale she is going to have a harder time. They have wrapped him in the Care Bear Inc arms, notice how he told them to go ahead and get Hillary's stand on the economy and he would come back to it? It didn't happen. They would have burned her at the stake for making the same comment. They let her lead off to give him his cue. Sooooo sexist is the media! Very apparent tonight. Campbell Brown even shows an attitude toward Clinton.

Doesn't it bother anyone that we have had a Bush or a Cinton running this country since 1989?

I personally liked and voted for Bill Clinton, I could care less who a man sleeps with as long as he is doing his job. But nowadays, I feel fed-up and frustrated with our country's political system. Obama's "transparency in government" sounds like just the cure we need to turn this boat around. I am sick of lobbyists and special interest groups running the show. And as a Christian Democrat (yes we exist!) I am ticked at the religious right who have hi-jacked my religion and my country.

Throw the rascals out...and let's get Obama in there and see what he can do. How can it get worse than it is now?

I think both of the canidates are saying whatever they think the people want to hear. They need to worry about our debt and all the illegals coming across the border and stop giving away the hard working man's money to pay for them to get free medical and everythig else we give them. Clintons and Bush already scred us with NAFTA. Now we have moe Mexican trucks across the border than American truckers.

The reason her hill to climb is higher is because of these types of analyses. This whole primary season has been guided by the pundits who set up the candidates to answer to the media's view rather than just speak to the people.

Hiliary Clinton represents the past,she is telling the American people
that she is prepared to be President on day one, she is prepared to continue doing business the same as business has been conducted in the past. Now is the time for change. Obama is an agent of change. Obama can lead the country in a new direction . I feel that Obama has a vision for America that will restore us to the America that we were meant to be. The kind of experience that Hilliary keeps bringing up is the kind of experience that has gotten this country into the predicament that we are in now. America is ready for change!

Clinton has been working for us all her life.
are we going to bail out on her now ? she should have the chance
to show the U.S what she can do . She HAS EARNED THAT !

WHY DID SHE VOTE FOR THE WAR. IF SHE WANTS TO BRING THEM HOME NOW. SHE FLIP FLOPS TO MUCH ON THE IRAQ WAR

A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say, it just begins to live that day." wrote Emily Dickinson. How true this is! Words are powerful tools, and can be used to do great harm or they can be used to do great good. Either way in the hands of a gifted leader, they should not be used irresponsibly for self-serving purposes.

"I have a dream…" Martin Luther King, Jr. said, and repeated it several times, until it sank into the soul of every black person present or within hearing distance. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country," JFK said. "My friends, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," FDR said. Memorable quotations like these are made, not for self-serving reasons, but with outward purposes, attempting to help others or others' situations. Consider motivation. Be careful of flowery words used solely for making an impression or getting back at another person. Measure a person's words with his past and present actions.

Hilliary Clinton is more decisive, more knowledgeable, more experienced than Obama. She will make the best president. Even though she is surrounded by biases and prejudices and has been since being the first lady, wife of former Pres. Clinton, she can, I'm sure "overcome."

They both talk about free medical care and free this and free that. How abnout some of the media asking these two where they will get th money to pay for all of this free medical. I think thye like Bush don't mind giving the money away so that we tax payers can pay for it. remember the Democrats always raise our taxes. MaCain probably will too. Besides what is 400 trillion in debt mean. Like George Washington said, We should only worry about the US not everyone else. I guess no one listened.

WE NEED her experience and wisdom, far more than HIS smooth rhetoric; "elequent" that he is...after the disaster Bush has put our country in! IT WON'T HURT THAT HER HUSBAND IS A RHODES SCHOLAR AS WELL AS HER. B.A. IS NOT READY FOR THIS CHALLENGE!!!!!!!

Go Hillary! Pennsylvania is with you!

Hillary – we NEED you in the white house!!!

Senator Obama is very presidential, already! Hillary comes across as cold, shrill. I do not know who is speaking. Bill or Hillary! I am tired of the whole Clinton, Bush debacle. I want a change. Hillary is too much of a politician. We need something new. I will vote for Obama, I have voted for Obama, I have given money to Obama, and I will again.

I am really tired of these debates. There is not 5% difference in their stance on any policy. These policy differences are rehashed over and over again. Please pull the plug on these debates. Obama is a gentleman who is running a clean campaign. I just hope he continues to do that in this dirty game of politics. The "Bill" factor is problematic for me in the case of Hillary. Too many signs in TX with "Bill for VP" how scarey is that!

Obama talks like a populatis. He sounds ni eave.
and sweet . there are rules. people need to read alen greenspand's
book.

America faces too many crises to elect a trainee who must learn on the job. Such a move would be devastating to our country and the world. Put Hillary in her place, the Oval Office.

Obama is not ready – not yet! Why not a Clinton for President with Obama for Vice President? Then, after Hill's terms, he can run. As far as Bill Clinton and his "contributions" to Hillary's campaign, I think he should have stayed out of it. It looks like he just can't stand to be on the sidelines and that makes it seem like he'd be sitting right beside her in the Oval Office. Reminds me of the 'ol boys who now have kids and can't get over their own days on the sports fields (or not) and insert themselves into every high school game trying to tell the coach what to do and reminding everyone of the time he made a touchdown "back in the day" . Maybe both Hillary and Barak should send their spouses to Fiji for the remainder of the year.

Sen. Obama is right on the money. We need new ways of working with the Sen. & Cong. in Wash. Not the same old ways that have not been working with Sen. Clinton in the past. He is the man. Bring in the new, out with the old. Clintons and Bushes.

Obama and Clinton are almost exactly the same on every aspect of their campaigns with minor differences. I was just wondering how everyone feels about them as campaign partners. I think which ever candidate wins the democratic endorsement, should take the other candidate as their Vice-President, because they would know the other candidate would fulfill the plan that each other have set up because they feel the same about the topics. Just wondering how the candidates and everyone else feel about that.

Hillary is brilliant! Comforting. Strong. And a winner.
Obama scares me.

On every topic and every issue that has been made on Cuba, Mexico, and Foreign Policies. But Hillary lost this debate, that she really wanted in the first place, on the first round when they were talking about the Differences between the two. Forget about putting a fork in her. Somebody needs to put a fork in me. And considering I have yet to vote because I live in NC, I'm feeling some kinda of way about this whole thing.

Silly season in politics...love that...Obama is making sure that America stays focus!!! I'm truly OBAMAFIED..

I would respect her more if she just bowed out of the race, and supported Obama with her Super Delegates because she is finished after tonight.

Yes health care is not a constitutional right. It's a HUMAN RIGHT. And there's absolutely no reason... not one... why every single person in the richest country on earth shouldn't get it.

Do you really think that when the election comes and if the race should be between McCain and Obama that Obama has a chance? Give me a break. Southern white people are not going to vote for a black president who does not have the experience that McCain has. I am NOT a republican and not racist, but to me you need someone who has the experience and ability. The media only talks about Barack Obama in a positive way. Start looking at the quality of the candidates and pointing that out. Don't count Hillary out. She is one smart lady who has stated what she will do. Obama is a great speaker, but I have not heard him say anything of substance. Wake up people!!

She's blowing it. Right now.

Obama would make a good president-in-training to President Hillary.
There is really no reason to elect him now. Would you like to see him in office if there is a new terrorist attack? I have yet to meet a follower of Obama's who has a good reason other than opposing Hillary. Change? Outsider to Washington? He won't be able to get anything done if he is not willing to play with the big boys in Washington and he knows it. We elected Bush because we could drink a beer with him. This "change" for the sake of change is empty rhetoric that will lead to similar failure of an Obama presidency.

There's definitely HRC trolls in here! It's only because Obama is a winner. Can someone please stick a fork in her, she's finished.

OK ... now they are punching ... and, hopefully, they will land some blows here ... She looks a little ticked off this round.

Either one becomes Prez, is everyone ready for the biggest tax increase in U.S. history, not on just the big income earners? Just reinstating the Bush tax cuts can only cover about 33% of what these two want to do.

I have been a registered Republican for years, but with election with having 8 years of Bush has made me stop and think. I have listened to McCain for weeks and I feel he is phony. I have listened to both Hillary and Obama talk, their debates and etc. I am going to vote for Hillary Clinton for reasons, she can be President from day one, Obama cannot. Hillary is much smarter. Clinton knows the ins and outs, is a much better speaker. I am not impressed with Michelle Obama as a FIRST LADY and saying she is finally proud of America.

They both need to make constrast between each other. I don't want a fight on stage – but I dont want nicey nice – where are the stance on the issues

Obama will achieve change in Washington because he is offering the voters their seat back at the table of democracy... and we are chomping at the bit to take it! He is the only politician that has even offered to partner with regular Americans.

Hillary has an in-depht grasp of the problems we are facing in this country and abroad, and of their solutions. His answers do not have the same grasp, they are somewhat supeficial and in many instances simply repeats what Hillary has said. He is an empty suit with limited experience, not enough to lead this great country of ours.

why does the desk clinton and obama are setting at , have space for three individuals?

Obama looks like he doesn't know what to say, he is not answering the questions. Wake up and smell the coffee. It is Hillary .

I have heard Senator OBama comment more than once that we have to stop agreements like NAFTA which results in shipping jobs to overseas and closing American factories and shipping the jobs to China. NAFTA is a North American Agreement and has nothing to do with overseas or China. Are his other statements across the board equally ill informed???

On the bi-lingual debate, I agree with teaching our students a second language. Just not necessarily Spanish. They are invading our country, make them learn English.

Hillary is the most qualified candidate. We gambled with Bush who we wanted to have a beer with now Americans want a guy who gives them hope..we need to stop risking our future with feelings and get pragmatic.

Obama is coming across as strong and impressive.

They're both playing like quarterbacks afraid they'll throw an interception. Hopefully, the panel can get them to be more specific.

WHat's up with Hillary always having to go first. It should be varied. Hillary has a great response then Obama can say I agree and add seven points and comes off like he is even more prepared and takes credit for what she says.

This is really not fiar.

I'm a 22-year Air Force Retiree that cannot use the VA Hospital because I make 24 thousand dollars per year on my pension, which is my only income. That's because the Clinton administration put in place "means testing" for VA health care. If you make more than $20 k per year you are not elgible for VA care. So I find it laughable that Senator Clinton proposes care for veterans. They screwed me terribly when they were in office.

why does clinton and obama's desk have 3 spots?

I feel sorry for Hillary Clinton, she haveing to put her foot in her mouth to try and beat Obama for president. I thought Bill would have preped her before she went to texas for the show down. Obama, keeps putting fire to her feet she might just starting running.

Hillary Clinton has a much tougher task ahead of her than Barack Obama. She looks like our President and he looks like a student.

I am a (woman) and I don't want her to be my next president. She is a different talking head to the same tired story. America has spoken, we want to hear a new story. We want Obama. On substance, Obama answers questions, she answers nothing.

Hillary wants to "mandate" health care. I don't want the government telling me what I HAVE to have or do any more than they do now.

I am seeing a different Hillary in this debate than I have seen in a long time.

Where has the real Hillary been? She is really on a role tonight.

If she had been this on the mark the past few months she would be far ahead of Obama.

OK, first she was for the border fence and now she's against it. First the Michigan and Florida primaries sholdn't count and now they should. She goes wherever it appears to be politically expedient and that's why I'm not voting for her. Enough of the Clintons, it's time for someone new.

Seems like people don't care for experience… They want Obama whether he knows what he's doing or not, that is the peoples right, but they will suffer any consequences of an improper or ill advised decision. (but still all the people have not spoken… the fat lady is still waiting -till march 4th- to sing

I feel that Senator Clinton would not be a good president for U.S.A. Because she is making promises that she will not able to keep. This Country is looking for change, and change does not mean putting the same people back into the White House. I think she would better off working as secretary for former President Bill Clinton's. Obama, needs the opportunity to bring change as President Of The Untied States. I think he will be able to make that difference in the 08 election. Go ! OBAMA

Ask Hillary what she has done for NY

I'm a registered Independent in PA; I try to watch all the debates and consistently Hillary beats Obama! I notice the only time he doesn't stutter and stumble is when he's on a stump speech and no one is asking any questions on the issues.

Obama is the only electable candidate. He will bring Republicans over and independents. Especially with McCain alienating the Christian right.

Hillary will scare them all off with her baggage.

What exactly has Hillary done that makes her so President worthy? She was the clear nominee 6 months ago not because she was the best but because the Dems didn't appear to have anyone ready to go that could compete. It turns out that wasn't true and now that more and more people are learning about Obama the tide has turned. Obama is the only chance we have to repair our image abroad.

If Senator Clinton wants to be the nominee for the democratic party, then she needs to perform at the highest level. Obama now has the momentum. It won't be easy for Mrs. Clinton to win Texas though she had the support of the Latinos. However, Senator Obama has shown that he is capable of getting the votes of the Latino. 10 consecutive wins have shown the ability of Senator Abama. He is capable of winning Texas and Ohio, now it is the time for Senator Clinton to change his campaign strategy. If not, Senator Obama will be the democratic nominee.

Thank you,

Pierre

Hillary, healthcare is not a constitutional right. So those without are not "discriminated" against. It would be nice if we all had it.

The last thing Obama is is smug!!!!

Mark my words....Campbell Brown will be biased towards Clinton all night

What this election boils down to, according to the people I talk with-Is this: They are growing tired of dynasty politics. Bush, Clinton, Bush. The last inspiring president, even though I didn't agree with his policies – was Ronald Reagan. Voters are rejecting a 3rd Clinton term and will, in November, reject a 3rd Bush term and elect Barack Obama as president of the United States. I always knew that this election was going to be about change. Let's just say that Clinton would be a 90 turn and Obama would be a total 180 degree turn. I think the country is ready for the 180 degree at this point.

Hillary is tough! Obama needs to look out!

Clinton in 2008!!!!!!!!!

Women have to work harder to prove themselves while men don't have as much to do to prove themselves because they are men and everyone knows that men rule and women obey and stay out of sight.

Came here to hoe a row, but others beat me to it.

It's not news, it's CNN.

She's screwed! Barack got four interupted applauses during his opening speech, she got NONE.

Go Barack!!

Yesterday in Dallas, I ventured into Obama land to listen to his message of change and hope. It was contagious and the crowd drank it up like cool aid on a hot Texas summer day. It sounded good... almost too good.

I wish him well, but I am a practical man and cynical about Washington politics. Obama started his speech by thanking all the currently elected Texas democrats in Washington (i.e. the establishment) the only group with worse approval ratings than Bush and his administration.

With any candidate we will get change in the White House. I just hope the person we choose will not sell their soul to the special interest groups and political establishment just to get elected.

i feel that she was a good candidate who has been mismanaged, and i personally blame Bill Clinton for wrecking her campaign. She was doing just fine without him.
They underestimated Obama and thought that he would be buried on Super Tuesday, its looking likely that she will crash land in Texas
I think there should be a law prohibiting former presidents from directly campaigning, that way they can preserve the dignity of this esteemed office.

BO is giving another word performance – does he think he can change Washington just because he's president – it takes Congress to change Washington so why doesn't he stay there and fight that fight. We need a leader who is not going to spend time trying to talk us to death but who is going to work hard every day and not just be "present".

I agree with Frank on this one. Wake up folks! He aint all they say he is and quite frankly, if Oprah backs him – RUN! Incidentally, the title to this article was "Clinton's got a tough road to hoe." Just wanted to correct this as the old saying is "tough row to hoe", relating to gardening or farming and removing rocks and weeds from between rows of produce that are growing in the field with a hoe. Never have you ever seen anyone hoe a road. Poor twenty-somethings getting paid good money to write dribble.

hillary – ask about cheneys energy bill – why did he vote for it? – has it anything to do with his pal rezko and the contact he was awarded in iraq...

I wouldn't underestimate either of these candidates in their ability to turn the tide

Hillary is laying it out, she is so strong, she is making him look juvenile, you go girl!!!

Hillary '08

Hey that guy is right, It's not her fault, it's Bush's fault.

She looks like she is chomping at the bit to rumble. Should be interesting.

stop swiviling in your chair obama – it looks smug.

HILLARY'S TOUGH BUT SHE LOOKS NEVROUS.

As A Latino from California , I Believe that the latino Vote will stay Sen. Clinton. My Family and friends continue to support her so you Go Girl make history !!!

Can't wait until she makes him look like the child he is in this debate. There is no way he should be our next president. Maybe in 2012 or 2016, but not now. The American public has lost their mind. It's like watching American Idol and Obama is Sanjaya.

The link to this article says "Clinton's got a tough road to hoe."

I wasn't aware that one could hoe a road. I'm not a farmer, but I do know that you can hoe a ROW.

The expression is "row to hoe" not "road to hoe." CNN journalists...worth every penny.

I agree. She is running against the media, Obama, haters and misogynist.

Clinton really does have an harder task especially if you have lost 10 straight and the Democratic Aboard. She is back to negative ads, which really shows no statistical advantage for her. HOPE is something she is looking for in this debate and in Texas/Ohio. Look ahead to step down Mrs. Rodham Clinton because everything happens big in Texas and her downfall is going to be BIG. Go OBAMA 08!

Hillary is finished after tonight.....Good riddance...I could not stand another four years of Bush-Clinton.

So let me get this right, Senator Obama is the only political candidate that is running for office and/or has run for office with a desire to make a difference? Senator Obama really needs to get a reality check — does he really think that the two-party system is going to welcome him and embrace his politics of change without a fight? The political changes needed are going to require power, experience, and understanding of how to build coalitions. Mr. Obama carries on like he is the only candidate with authentic desire for change, did I miss hearing one or more examples from his limited career that could be used to support his primary supposition that his experience and politics of change are right for the job? Maybe during all his non-present votes he was out building those coalitions. Did he not hear anything John Edwards said about the need to fight and take power away from the large health care companies. I have a rental movie suggestion for all those Obama supporters — "The Candidate" starring Robert Redford… if Mr. Obama's good-feeling words infatuate and cloud voters and main stream media the we will have the next movie sequel being broadcasted in our living rooms for the next four years. Haven't we had enough candidates with silver-tongues pretending to be the ones who will finally change our 2-party system and attempt to relate to a working families struggling to remain in their house as they spend a billion dollars on a job interview. Give ME a break

Stick a fork in her, she is done!
