It is over for the Clintons this time around. They should gracefully step aside and not divide our party any further in this calendar year.

Obam is the rhetoric that Bush was for the past 8 years. Americans will vote another stupid and regret again because they know nothing better. We Americans should be smarter than those who elected the Bushes...lets not make the same mistake and vote for a fighter and a solutions giver, vote Hillary!

The media is bias, it always has been! That is why this administration has been able to do whatever they want with little checks from the media.

I don't get the agruement status quo on Hillary, if anyone is paying attention, she's a democrate & her beliefs have been reflected in the ideas of Obama, there ideas on issues are simalar, however foreign policy MAJOR, WHY isn't anyone really hitting him for his comments on Cuba, did you notice the flip flop? Campbell did.

We have a president with no foreign policy experience and look what happened we don't need another. Pay close attenetion to Florida & Mich., for whom they will support if they don't count in primaries!!! Howard Dean, what the heck where you think????

I am so tired of the non-stop attacks on Clinton!

All I can say is, if the republicans can't stop her I doubt the naysayers in the media will either. Wouldn't it be nice if Obama got even half of the scrutiny Clinton gets?

His supporters act as if he's the second coming of Christ, it's just creepy.

Please America, don't be brainwashed. Times were good in the 90's, they can be again. Go Hillary!

It's high time CNN start working to scrutinize Obama's record. Oh wait….he's not done much politically so….thats the ticket! You dont have any substance in his career to focus on. I get it now. It's always the person that rocks the boat and truly creates change (Hillary and her 35 years of work) that allows folks to drill into a candiate. Funny how no one has questioned WHY Obama has such a squeeky clean record. Because he has none!

I believe the history books will read Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. After how bad the far right wing Republicans treated her when she was first lady I think the perfect slap in the face would be to have Hillary as our 1st woman president. I can see it in her eyes as I did when Bill ran in 1992. She care's for people and the next generation of Americans. She has my support 100%.

Vice-president sounds fine to me. If Obama wins Texas and/or Ohio Hillary should consider the VEEP position. An UNBEATABLE democratic ticket – a team with inspiration AND experience, and a path to the presidency for her in 2016!

Obama and Hillary alone will have tough time winning against McCain once the republican hate machine really gets going. They should consider this!

I am not here to bash anyone, but i have a question for those who say they would not vote for barack if he wins the nomination"WHY", Barack has done nothing but run for president, and seems to be doing a pretty good job of it. He has not attacked HC on anything but the issues, and rather you want to admit it........the guy is very intelligent.
So what is the problem. If hillary is catching hell in the media and elswhere, you cant blame barack for it, mostly of her own doing.

I actually think Obama has a better chance at McCain than Hillary. McCain is well respected and has been around forever and all that. But he's starting to get a little spooky with his sense of entitlement. Hillary has a bit of that too and I don't think folks are chiefl executives who are all ego (uh, bush anyone) who forget what that level of leadership is about.

For those who say Sen. Obama is not experienced enough, I have 2 questions for you:

1. Have you actually visited the Obama website (if you can actually bring yourself to read)?

2. If Bill Gates asked your opinion before he formed Microsoft years ago, aren't you one of those who would have said "no, you are too young"?

Enough of these non-visionary, non-leaders.

I thought Sen. Clinton won this debate as she has most of the others. Sen. Obama is gifted but is a little immature at times and a little too self-adoring. I want a President not an icon. I dont think I can vote for Sen. Obama if he is the nominee which is too bad since I dont think McCain is the answer. This country is in need of the pros. We've seen what incompetance looks like. We've seen where we get when we pick a president based on "likeability". And yes, 75% of the country cant be wrong. The media is biased against Hillary Clinton. There will be books written about this primary campaign and the role of the media.

There is no bashing towards Hillary on CNN! What I did see in last night's campaign was Hillary trying to dig herself out of the mud she herself made by taking cheap shots at Obama. Is that all she really has to win the American vote? Obama was quite intelligent at addressing Hillary's bickering, by saying she was only direction attention away from the real subjects the debate was suppose to deal with.

I see a very desperate Hillary campaign!
Hillary can't win the nomination by winning large states, you win by having the people behind you. Aren't we in a democratic country anymore?

Obama, you have the people behind you!!

The reality of the media so totally controling this election is absolute shame. There is absolutley no doubt CNN is as guilty as every other network and at the end of the day who really pays the price. It is one thing to have an opinion and idenify it as well but what you boast continuiosly about, is being the best political team on TV , how about evenning out the your playing field especially and in paticular the Clinton, Obama race. It wouldn't matter what Hillary Clinton did or said or what she stands for, there is always that spin of negativety from you all. Bill Press indicated not to long ago on your show about that halo on Obama's head and what should be done with it, the only good comment that has been said for sometime. This election not only effects the U.S and all their people it directly effects everyone in the entire world. Wolf, you are a professional and one of the best at what you do but the network you work for is not in that same category by no means anymore. As I am sending this I hear, coming up how Hillary Clinton's campaign has spent 100,000 on sandwiches and 13,000 on pizza, as if it is her directly invoved with that, go figure. How about the guy with the halo, can we expect to get a report on his sandwich and pizza spending too, oh I forgot he raises more money.

I think Hillary has made great contributions to our nation, for which we are grateful, and she certainly has tremendous experience. My concern is, can she truly get Republicans to work with her so that our nation makes progress? That's my fear. She and her husband, fairly or not, are so disliked by many Republicans, that she won't be able to negotiate across the aisle. When she first tried to implement her health plan as First Lady, it was her manner of trying to get this accomplished that added to its ultimate failure. She has experience, but what good will that do if Republicans dig their heels in and fight her on everything, like they did Bill. I will vote for Barack because he has the ability to move us forward by uniting Democrats, Republicans and independents. He doesn't see Republicans or independents as enemies, as he has said. We are all Americans. And that's what we need. I fear that nominating Hillary, with all her baggage and negative feelings towards her and Bill, will cause us the lose the WH and we'll be stuck with another version of Bush.

Obama decided suddenly to run for the presidency and I believe he was preparing for it a year prior deciding to run. Gov. Patrick was teaching him the skills of talking with his speeches. If you notice when TV played Patrick talking and Obama in back you can tell they act alike. I believe if Obama wins the nomination (pray not) he will ask Patrice to be his VP. I am hoping she wins Texas and Ohio plus PA then go from there, She still has a chance so why did Wolf state on TV a older and younger running as president for the white house. Hillary is ten years younger than McCain and only two years out of her 50's. Obama wanted to make history preparing himself as the first black president elected in America as MLK day was approaching. Obama studied RFk speaking and TV showed RFK and Obama pictures side by side with RFK talking. Why doesn't he just be himself instead of acting the part of someone else.

I WONDER WHAT BILL WILL SAY IF HILLARY DOES LOOSE TEXAS. WILL SHE DO THE RIGHT THING AND GET OUT OF THE RACE OR WILL SHE TRY TO DIVIDE THE PARTY BY GOING AFTER FL. AMD MICH. IF SHE TRIES TO DIVIDE THE PARTY AND IT DOES'NT WORK AND OBAMA WINS HE WON'T PUT HER ON THE TICKET. I REALLY THINK HILLARY KNOWS IT'S JUST ABOUT OVER, BUT I DON'T THINK OLD SLICK WILLY WILL LET HER DROP OUT OF THE RACE BECAUSE HE WANTS BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE WORSE THAN SHE DOES. IT'S ALSO TIME FOR US TO STOP BASHING THE DEM'S AND FIGHT TO KEEP MCCAIN OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

Somebody asked if Hillary's gold ribbing on her collar bothered anyone else, she had found it distracting. I agree, it took me a while to figure out what the heck she had on her neck. At first it looked like she had a couple of cute decorative coathanger heads on her jacket, then I thought they were extensions to her necklace, then upon a closeup view, i saw the ribbing was on her collar. Yes, it was somewhat distracting. But if she likes the outfit, that's what matters. I say, dress for yourself, do not dress to please others. It makes life a lot more fun and less stressful! (PS I am not a Hillary fan) A few years back I was looking at a beautiful red dress splashed with a floral pattern. I kept looking at it and thought it was "too wild" for me. An elderly lady came by while I was still holding the dress and we started chatting. I told her I really liked the dress but thought it might be a little "too wild" for me. What she said to me was, "Honey, if you like the dress, buy it, you only live once." I bought the dress and, since then, I have acquired a beautiful and colorful wardrobe. And, I enjoyed wearing that dress.

I am amazed by the media's complete ,not understanding the hispanic community. They lump them all together, when in fact they are different. Hispanic's in Texas are mostly Mexican and that is expected, as we border Mexico. Hillary relationship with the hispanic community goes all the way back to 1972 and they were Mexican then and today, they are still Mexican and they support Hillary. The population of blacks in Texas is 2,385,000 and hispanics is 8,392,000 and in case the Obama supporter's can not count, that almost 4 to 1 and Hillary is carrying the hispanic vote by 65% . Obama will carry the black vote by 80% and please get your calculators out and do the numbers, All will not vote, but the percentages will be the same. I will give the Obama supporter's another problem, google the black populations in the states that have already voted and the number of Democratic registered voters and with out a 80 to 90% black vote, he would have lost the following: South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Virginia, Maryland and the Virgin Islands. The only truly blue states that he won was Conn. and Wisconsin. All the rest are red states now and the fall.

What I don't get is why Obama doesn't say the obvious. If Hillary wins, McCain wins by a landslide with all the independents and dems (me) that will vote for him. If Obama wins, dems have legit chance. McCain vs Obama, two people of character discussing issues – that's what we need. You can say all you want about lack of Obama experience, but you can't question his character and I would proudly vote for him...and if Clinton wins, I'll jump on the McCain bus...this is what Obama should be saying for HIllary supporters and why she should drop out, for the good of the party.

All you have to do is check out what Obama has done, he has come from behind, he has raised more money, has won 11 of the last contests.

Last night's debate was not all that. Obama at times seemed like he was copying her. I think that the press left out some of her major points. Neither of them looked that comfortable. Obama does have more chrisma than Hillary but she knows a lot more about the real world than he does. The way it really works and will work or NOT! I believe there is a lot more money behind him and that is what is making him. He is a great speaker and with the money behind him he is giving Hillary a hard run. But considering all of that.she is still very close to him in the polls. She is a woman and he is a man. He does not have to be better to get the job!

Hillary we have come a long way, but not far enough! I hope you can pull this off.

You could clearly tell from the debate that Obama spent most of his time thinking how to respond. Looking into space, writing and more writing. If he really had substance he wouldn't have had to constantly be writing and thinking how to respond. Didn't anyone notice that his come backs were nothing more than reciting parts of his standard speech over again. That's all he is. If last nights debate was a college test, with questions of what and how. His hows would be blank. The fry cook at McDonalds can come up with thoughts, it's how your going to accomplish them that makes you real. Obama is a cartoon, and YES, all those blindly supporting him ARE delusional. Including Wolf....a big Obama fan....

Its the media, its the media, its the media. Bush tried the same thing. He blamed low approval ratings on the media when it was actually he and his administration doing a very poor job. Wolf is just reporting what he sees and hears and frames it based on his journalistic experience. Don't mistake CNN for Fox News, or as Keith Oberman says, "Fixed News Channel"

The Obama Plan will have a certain group ol supposedly low cost insurance and if you dont purchase it and go to the emergency room you will be fined. Obama's Plan also will not carry over if you lose your job! Clinton's Plan will carry over even if you lose your job! People please know the issues and vote for the Best Person!

Its funny how all the Obama fans like to call hillary Power hungry, This guy hasn't even barely started a political carreer and asks to be president, talk and think about who is really power hungry. and it is true CNN really isn't the channel it use to be which is sad because at one time I really thought Wolf was alittle bipartisent and really didn't show his personal veiws. It was always refreshing to see news in a oldstyle real way like it was when growing up. you maybe remember the days before tabloid journalisim. back when they asked real questions and got real answers. I doubt that if Nixon was still around and in office he would of ever been pushed or impeached. And we all know FOX would give him man of the year. One thing I really find funny is that they are now all saying over there she needs to show the world the opened up Hillary. If she would have done that before and I believe still now everyone would say shes good but shes soft, we cant have a soft women in office. and of course you can never say anything wrong aboput BO because nomatter what they all say he is black so they all have to walk gently or they are bashing him.

Obama was winning the debate last night until the last minute when HRC basically surrendered the nomination....Had she been like this from the get go she not have found herself in the predicament.

Perhaps if CNN and other media outlets had given Mrs. Clinton fair coverage rather than always finding something, anything negative they could find to say about her we would have seen this side of her. Her coverage without a doubt has been the most negative coverage of a candidate ever. On the other hand everything about Obama has been very positive.
