I think U.S need obama. god blles AMERICA

Experience is important. and I respect Hillary Clinton. Those who spew their venomous rhetoric against her in such a mean-spirited and almost verging on hatered are only hurting yourselves. The statnding ovation that Clinton received was deserved. What she said was from her heart………….and those type of words that speak of love for others is the Kind of President that I want. Obama took all of Hillary's ideas and made his own platform, men have been doing that for years. Viva Clinton Viva………………..she will win!!! Viva Clinton Via

More news media should be talking about Obama co-sponsoring legislation called the Global Poverty Act and putting us deeper in debt.

At first this will cost us $845 billion dollars. Yes almost a trillion doolars. It is not going to help anyone in America. It is going to put us further in debt.

Obama constantly talks about how much the Iraq war costs us and how that money could be put to better use in America. Then he co-sponsors a bill to put us in debt further than the Iraq war.

Talk a bout a hypocrit.

Are you kidding me? Not owing anyone favors? Just look at all the endorsements from politicians and unions….if you think any politician who receives all of this help doesn't return favors, you are living in a fantasy land. I don't care what he SAYS, if he gets to the White House he will have to play the game to get anything done at all, just like everyone else. It will just take him longer to figure that out.

WE DON'T WANT SAME OLD THING, WE NEED SOME ONE WITH NEW IDEAS, BARACK IS IN THIS RACE NOT FOR MONEY, OR POWER, HE IS IN TO HELP US.

As an original Edwards supporter, who then voted for Clinton, I have to admit that Obama has run a fantastic campaign, and will most likely be the next President of the US, and I will vote for him in November.

To Obama supporters who can not even acknowledge the home run Clinton hit at the end of the debate, it shows that your heads are in the clouds, and you are more hypnotized by Obama than concerned with what is really happening in our country.

If the contest is over, as the Obama supporters say, why can they not lay off the personal Clinton insults. Don;t like her policy? Great, tell me why. Convince me. But the sofphmoric and immature personal comments? Put on her big girl panties (and then followed by complaining about cheap shots… talk about irony)? Really intelligent comment. How do they think that is uniting the party against the Republicans? If you think it is over, at least be gracious winners.

Why doesn't anyone mention the only sensible, workable, cost-cutting solution to our health-care crisis: A single payer system like those in every other first-world nation? Is it really necessary to continue allowing insurance companies to gobble up so many of our health-care expenditures?
Why doesn't anyone talk about the "fox guarding the hen house" direction/management of all government agencies responsible for health, safety, the environment, labor practices, etc. — you know, appointing industry insiders to run the agencies regulating the industry that's commanded their loyalty and, in most cases, made them rich? And what about the damage that's resulted? What about reversing the horrific changes in rules and regulations wrought by Bush?
There's so much that isn't being discussed.

Bottom line. At the 11th hour she says something great.

At the end of the day if her running of her campaign is any indication of how she will run this country. Say No to Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is finally getting her act together in this campaign. Again if her campaign which is the major project is an indicator, than I don't thing she will be ready day one. She hasn't been in her campaign. The same old pull you in the mud gutter politics. Same old HIllary and Bill!

To Bright Clayton….

Apparently Campbell Brown is married to a Republican strategist. She only hates Clinton unless Obama gets the nom. Don't worry, she will pile on Obama if and when the time comes.

I know, I'm going in to moderation. Dang it! I'm tired of going in to moderation!

It appears to me that the constant "we think the same on most issues" comments and the almost hug at the end meant to prepare us to see the two of them on the same ticket, pres and vp?

That is vey true he's a joke. If he didn't have Oprah he would not be where he is now.

She knows she is done , that is what really stood out in this debate.

What crisis is she referring to? Her husband having affairs? come on people. Wake up. Obama is the better choice. Let him show us action.

What consensus? On what? Still waiting? What is one issue this guy is committed to?

One thing you can say about Obama… he will never break a promise. His positions are so wishy-washy, he can do anything and claim to have done something (or he can do nothing and take credit for it, cough, cough, xerox, cough, cough)

Compare the number of bills sponsored by Obama in 4 years vs Clintons 8?

Obama has more than double her amount.

Sorry she didn't make a dent in his momentum. He's strong and too well prepared. People think he's a wimp, but they're dead wrong, it's only because they haven't bothered to read anything about him.

She conceded tonight!

Wow! I was waiting for her to find her voice again and cry.

Less devisive? He divides! He stumbles. He copies.

CLINTON WON THIS DEBATE; THERE IS TOOOOOO MUCH MEDIA SPIN AGAINST HER BY SOME OF YOUR COMMENTATORS.

Yes. she conceded!

Chris Obama prepared, What!!!! Oh you ment prepared to say I agree with Hillary because I don't have any new ideas of my own.

It really sounded like she did concede rockinsteve……

Those of you who call Obama a "rock star", a "preacher", etc. are really showing your inability to listen to opinions and people who are different from you.

I guess all that Bush Kool-Aid you've drank all these years has completely stopped up your ears and your brains. But try, just try, to see past the differences between yourself and hear what Sen. Obama, along with the US citizenry, can do. What makes you believe in Bush, or McCain, or Ron Paul - their words! You listen, and you hear what you believe, so you support them. It's no different from what Obama supporters do! You aren't right just because YOU say so! You are wrong because we can see the result of the last 7 years of a wrecked economy, high unemployment, election fraud - in other countries, they oust leaders for a lot less!!

You fools, Hillary is done.

Obama is talking about change what type of change? Change can be a lot of things.

It's amazing how people say she is to tough or now to soft and going to cry, She had far more value and substance to what she was speaking about. Once again I hear him speak and he never answers the question directly, All I hear is BLAH BLAH BLAH. An old Zeplin song come to mind Ramble On. His comment at the end was a joke, He is not ready to lead this country and if we as americans don't wake up and realize that this man has no clue then it will be McCain all the way to the white house. God help us then.

the lady who manage the debate dont like hillary , it was clear i dont know why they put her all she does all the time talk bad about her , i dont call fair and balance…….

We don't need the possible president who doesn't have control over her emotions. I'm not sure if she is not in control of her emotion or if she is just playing the "woman" card when she thinks it fits by getting teary eyes.

What has Obama done as a Senator that we are suppose to be impressed with?

However Bill, he said he disclosed his earmarks, but he hasn't. He has only disclosed 2007 earmarks, not 2005 or 2006.

who knows what obama is for.

Hillary vs McCain = loss for Democrats
Obama vs McCain = win for Democrats

Does anyone else agree?

Yes, they stood up and cheered because they were glad that hearing her cheap shots would be over with.

Shame on Clinton for going negative.

It's time for her to put on her big girl panties, climb up out of the playpen and act like an adult. Let's talk issues, not take cheap shots. That shows desperation.

We don't need the Clinton Brothers in office - just the same ol' same ol'

Although I think Obama is proably a fine man, Clinton is more knowlegable on the affairs of the country and would be a better leader.

She wanted to cry she wants the votes

You are mad Obama is an arrogant person. Looking down his nose at people.

He still does not know anything, we need to vote experience and eloquence from a woman who is just that, Hillary is Brilliant.

And Obama did not win the debate……..he continually steals ideas from others.

Wake up America vote for Hillary

Hillary just "cried goodbye" to the nation!!!! This great debater-Hillary- could NOT even lay a single glove on this "junior Senator" Obama

Obama won this one hands down!!!

Hillary won hands down - what a great debate. She is so smart and is what this country needs.

Campbell Brown was biased as she has always been on the CNN show in her questioning of Clinton.

She did not get a standing ovation. The audience was clapping for the conclusion of the debate. She was trying for an emotional response! Booohooo, cry, cry. She seems so fake.

Dear Hillary, don't cry, just concede…you are Republican-light, and Democrats know it.

Sure, Obama believes in consensus.

His "ethics bill" got thru Congress only after he let opponents of reform punch through scads of loopholes and the final product was a piece of swiss cheese. I wouldn't call him a champion on consensus; concession is more like it.

I think when the Obama koolaid stops flowing many people will see that Clinton is a solid, strong, phenomenal candidate.

Obama looked very much more presidential tonight. His best debate. I think he outshone Hillary by showing a style that he would have as president in dealing with the world. He just has a smoother more humorous style that will defuse problems. She seemed more egocentric and coming up on the short end of the stick. He certainly disproved the idea that he doesn't have specific proposals.

Non-partisanship will be NECESSARY. Clinton is very polarizing. Period.

I have written in every one of these blogs and not one of my posts have been released from moderation. This is not my post, but the one that I wrote earlier IS.

As a previous Republican, then Independent, I am more impressed with Obama each week.

I think she just conceded.. Whoo hoo!!!!

It was a standing ovation for BOTH OF THEM. It was after the LAST question of the debate.

Obama '08

I'm glad she didn't cry.

Bill, this blog is so incredibly biased, just like the rest of CNN. We all know CNN is pro-Obama, but can you just try a LITTLE to be slightly more objective?

Daaaang, you go girl!!! Beautiful, beautiful as always–I'm so incredibly proud of her

YOU GO HILLARY!

Well there's your proof that Barack wants to reach across the aisle to Republicans, he actually got it done. Can you say the same about Hillary?

This country needs bipartisianship to survive. Go Barack. We elect Hillary and she will dig her comfortable heels in for more of the sos we've been going through for years.

HIllary was clearly the more articulate candidate. Will Obama cry about it and decide he hates our country as much as his wife?

They were standing to show their admiration for a job well done and to congradulate her on her campaign….that's what good people do when good people concede.

Obama fell short on this one.
He did answer some questions better than last time. but not enough to make me say "YES" he is the one I am voting for.
He has big dreams and goals but I don't feel they will help me (or many others) out in the long run.

The fact remains that Clinton's record of dirty deals with lobbyists and back-room politicos will always haunt her, and will come back strong during any election contest if she wins the nomination. She has no position on finance reform, it would lose her and her cronies too much money.

Obama has my consensus!

Yes…..she just did it…………..honored to be with Barrack……………He as the Prez, she as the VP. If so, look out McCain

Please don't cry…………….

I believe Obama will be able to cross the party lines
and be effective in eliminating or reducing the pork
barrel spending. Much of the problems, I think, are
that so many politicians have been in office for so
long that they cowtow to people that they owe favors
to. This also comes into play with the lobbyists. Politicians
have fallen into the "favors" owed either from contributions
to their campaigns or possibly to please a "friend".
Hillary has played politics with the lobbyists and both
parties for years. Obama is a fresh face and doesn't
owe favors. Obama will be the beginning of a new
era in politics.That is a big deal!!!!!

Hillary did nothing to stop his momentum.

You Hillary people are something else…look at Bill Schneider's headlines on the ticker…..90% of them are about Hillary and you guys are calling him an Obama symphytizer…!! unbelieveable…you people have NO grasp of reality!!!

Hillary is only about fighting Republicans. Obama is about uniting this country to build consensus. This is why Hillary will not be able to get anything done. Obama will.

I feel that if the super delegates pick a different canidate then the popular vote then I will vote for John McCain. I liked him before he was the front runner. I am not so happy with him now with his flip flopping to ponder to the conservetives. Also I am voting for Obama because of his stand on the war in Irac. If Clinton wins due to super delegates it sounds like bussiness as usual in Washington, DC, then there can not be real change. Lisa Buehler

Agree - Senator Obama is a likeable guy and a real straight shooter who will work with unlikely allies to get the job done. This makes him a formidable force, not just in America, but also in international politics.

what are we doing? Choose among the best of the worst>

Hillary is a fierce fighter, never takes a no for an answer. Her fighting is for herself, her self interest, not for the country.

How many of your headlines tonight say Obama? How many say Clinton?

It was really nice to see the moderators and audience allow Obama to skirt the issue on his porkbelly earmarks. Go ahead and boo Senator Clinton over that issue, too!

i think senator clinton got some tough questions —again! i feel the

media is against her,let the media stop and let the voters elect a

president.

I consider myself an Independent. I watched Senator Tom Coburn on 20/20 a few months ago and was happy see a news magazine piece about a politician who stood up to Washington rubbish and demanded that Americans be shown what their representatives were "really" doing in Washington. With that said, I am an Obama supporter. Knowing that Senator Obama was able to reach over party lines and work with Senator Coburn because they both shared a desire to work together on an idea despite being in separate parties just makes me jump for joy. Both Senators are stand up guys.

Obama for President 2008!

Obama wins hands down. His answers were sincere and well thought out . Hers were too canned and memorized.

Obama will NOT be able to build the consensus because he is not experienced enough. It will take battles to make real changes. Thousands of years civilization history has taught us this. Wake up!

Bipartisanship is new to Sen. Clinton. She's not good with talking well about Republicans. I think he's more skilled at listening to others. She on the other hand just seems prepared to argue. I heard someone say once, "we've got two ears and one mouth so we would listen more than we talk."

Is obama wearing a good luck bracelet ? Please check and let me know.

There it is again, "advantage Obama" - your press coverage is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo biased.

He votes along party lines 97% of the time.
More empty words that sound good…

Hillary is way too emotional to be our president. Barrack is focused and succinct. Barrack swept the debate in my opinion because he addressed the questions dead on without giving us his resume each time. He is the president that this country is starved for!

he has less earmarks than her because he's been in office less than half the time and half of that again running for president. He'smissed 4 times more votes in the senate because of campaigning than her. McCain has missed even more. In fact, of all the senate candidates who were or are running, she's appeared at her CURRENT job more than any two others put together.

I think it started off slow, and got better. She did well in the last question but, I think it was even…

Was Mr. Obama part of the bipartisan leadership that tackled other thorny issues like energy, immigration or terrorist surveillance legislation? NO! Obama has been one of the most dependable partisan votes in the Senate.

Wow, what an outstanding finish for Mrs. Clinton. I applaud her….. She was amazing and even though I do admire Obama and I believe that he would be ready in a few years, right now the right man for the job is a woman!

Her smile is a tricky smile

Obama is the best candidate to unite us.

I like this guy, he has won me over due to his practical view and realistic view on things, hillary seems to tout her experience, but not realisitc in her approach, she will be too divisive

I hope this is the direction that the next generation of politicians go toward. I would much rather have a government that can work together when it counts than have gridlock in Washington that hurts Americans across the country with every minute argument or posture.

Is it just me? What will he actually do to bring consensus? To bring the two sides together? He says it ever chance he gets, but what exactly will he do? When one side doesn't have any motivation to come to the table, how will he get them to the table? When they play hardball what exactly will he do???

I just witnessed the future president and the vice president shake hands.

Obama is the answer. Get educated, people.

AND SHE BARELY MENTIONED HOW SHE WOULD WORK

WITH THE OTHER SIDE- because she won't.

SHE ALSO NEVER MENTIONED HOW SHE WOULD WORK WITH

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE TO BRING SUCCEESS TO HER

HEALTHCARE PLAN THIS TIME AROUND- because she won't.

.

For a minute there at the end I thought Clinton was going to start crying again. And that, "I'm honored to be here" line was cheesy and fake.

Both candidates are so much alike that you can go either way, so for people that down play either candidate you should look in the mirror to see which side you are really on. Clearly the democrats have scored a victory for the party, because they are more united in my opinion than the republicans. I honestly think the both of them would make a good ticket up against any republican ticket, George Bush has ruined the party so much and McCain is not a change from what has happened over the past 7 years.

Good luck to everyone who votes, may the better person win. I've enjoyed taking part with others tonight.

She was performing so well on the debate…. Why did she make that statement that whatever happens, she will take it!!!!! This is the most crucial statement in her campaign I guess!!! Mark my words!

He is ready to lead. It should be painfully obvious after 10 straight Primary Victories that is the general (albeit, early) concenus. Vote Barack for Change, the RIGHT CHANGE!

It is this issue that really makes Obama shine with the younger generation like myself. He doesn't offer completely new policies and such; he offers hope for a new ideology of politics; an outsiders view from Washington.

I have to say that Clinton really wowed me with her closing remarks, and I am an Obama gal!

This too!

he's as guilty of earmarks as every other politician - "physician heal thyself"

Well Well he didnt gave an answer Bill….Ohh well this is CNN or ONN

WHY DO YOU KEEP BREAKING IN ON CLINTON AND LET HER FINISH HER STATMENTS. GIVE HER THE SAME CONSIDERATION THAT YOU GIVE OBAMA. AT LEAST SHE DID VOTE ON THE WAR. DID HE?

i think hillary has given up and been all sweet and nice with obama as to start proceedings to get out of this with grace ( and working on that VP position)…

Who is the better speaker now?
Well Campbell guess she got you for not letting her finish her statements and cutting to commercials in the middle.

Whoo Hoo!! Hillary scores!!!!!!! She is awesome on the question of life challenges!

Fatal error. She should be tougher instead of so tender with Obama. I see no strength. Open borders, surrender in war. We are in trouble.

Well for me Obama still the winner, Clinton has not been able to answer a question straight forward.

Hurray for Obama, the next president of the USA

this is one of the things I like about Obama he will try to bring the politicians together and if they see he has a mandate from the people hopefully they will get nervous and stop the pettiness and accomplish things

This is one of the very important reasons that Obama should be president.

geez schneider why dont you just marry the guy? its clear who cnn loves… i'm gonna vomit!

What was the last statement of Clinton?? Shows that she has given up???

HILLARY/OBAMA 2008

With Obama we have a leader. In Clinton we have a politician.

She won, AGAIN!!!

did Hillary just concede at debate's end?

Hillary went back on top with her "Moment In Your Life When You Were Test The Most." Wow! What a response. Senator Obama's response was lacking. She just got a standing ovation!

That standing ovation is for her!

Sen. Clinton seemed a bit woozy until the "I've been through a lot of experiences …" She complimented him nicely … and got a standing "o"! Nicely said. I think she might …..cry.

Hillary is only for Herself, not for the people, do not be fooled.

He's less divisive, and is good at working with all kiinds of people.

She seems to relish battles and enemies. Even one of her friends has said that "Hillary needs enemies"

If Hillary cries again, will she win Texas????

Clinton is a consensus builder with her very high negative ratings that show polarization. The word 'consensus' really hangs heavy around her neck as an albatross.

Was Hilary about to cry again?

thank bill for remembering obama is actually leading this race - i had previously liked your sense of fair play, so had found the lack of balance disturbing

And he's drawing the difference…she's old line politics…and he's a communication builder. He wins.

Will consensus building include a continued willingness to ingnore the country dividing super highway?

Obama can't point to single point of crisis because he's too young with too little experience! Can you imagine if another crisis like 911 happened? I want Senator Clinton who has weathered many crisis to be there in that Oval office serving as my President.

Line item veto!!!!! Then you can hold someone accountable for the crap our goverments spends our money on.

I'd rather see nonpartisanship, but I can support him on this.

We don't need Obama's love fest. I don't need to be inspired by the rock star. What I want is a LEADER. Not a flashy speaker. What this country needs is SOLUTIONS NOT THIS PREACHER RHETORIC.

Let's stop this mindless following of the Obama cult and get real!

Obama is doing such a wonderful job.

All Obama, Bill. Will all your "analysis" support him? You barely mention her.

IS SHE GONNA CRY AGAIN! OHHH NO WAY! COME ON! We need a strong president not a crybaby! Us woman are stronger than that!!!

Please don't let her cry again. Dear God, leave our brave men and women alone.

He was really prepared this time around.
