I voted for Bill Clinton twice, Hillary would not even be considered to run for president if her last name was not Clinton. She is runnng, determined to get elected no matter what she has to say or do. Sad and nasty!

Billary, face it........your time is up! We have all had the Clintons which is why we now HAVE BUSH because we wanted a CHANGE!!! We have seen what your change brought us! By, the way where is your taxes? Some things never change!!

Go, away and take Bill with YOU. Go write a Book together. You can't control him on the campaign and you are going to control him in the White House.....please.

Any candidate expressing a desire to debate their oppponent's "campaign tactics" has lost the point of their own campaign. Discussion of the issues and what the potential candidate proposes to do once elected is the point of a debate. Personally, I do not understand a "flip flop" position from any candidate who chooses to discuss "campaign tactics" vs. issues relevant to Americans. (i.e. economy, war, health care, national security, immigration reform, etc.) I'm disappointed that Senator Clinton apparently feels it is necessary to deviate from her message of what she plans for America to engage in a "loser" mentality type of attack.

Hillary is a wonderful human being, and does respect herself. She was courageous in the last CNN debate where she was asked nearly 100% of the questions FIRST. Not to mention the commercial breaks which occurred just as she was trying to respond to Obama...and also had the hardest questions. This really gives the other person an edge. Let's hope NBC evens and alternates the questions Tuesday night.

Hillary is such a disgrace o women around the world. She has set us back having men saying I told you so a woman is too emotional to be president. First came the tears, the nasty remarks now the scolding – what is she Barack's mother?? She has shown her true colors whenever she does not win, behaving like a brat – never thanking the people who voted for her whenshe loses. What will she do if she becomes president? Bomb the first country that says something she doesn't like? Grow up Hillary – this is an adult game!!!

HIllary does sound bi-polar these days!

I hope the Ohio and Texas are really watching her behavior and realizing that what we've seen in the last couple of days is the REAL Hillary!

Would anyone want to listen to her insane mood swings every other day for the next 4 years??

Hillary, Ohioans, Texans, Rhode Islanders and Pennsylvanians are not stupid!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Well...hope you TRUE democrats there in Ohio (as wll as Texas, RI, Vermont, and PA) are watching out for the "Democrat for a Day" voters. None of the media pundits can account for the rapid change in Hillary's poll standings as election get near. Well....there is the "buzz" on the threads that it is the Republican and Independents voting as Democrat in the open primaries to load votes for Obama. They would rather run against him in the GE because they know they can find "new dirt" somewhere. They have already exposed Hillary's and have spent MILLIONS looking for it.

ahem...remember, HRC has to not just win both Texas and Ohio, but she really must win by a wide margin in both states, or she's finished. The polls show both HRC and Obama in a dead heat in Texas and Obama closing in on her in Ohio. Needless to say, Obama will also take Rhode Island and Vermont. She's done. America will be glad for it. It's about time we had someone that is not the establishment, not a Clinton or a Bush in the White House, nor someone that wants to keep our troops in Iraq for a hundred years. We need change...America needs Obama!

It amazes me to see comments from folks who are clearly not educating themselves as to the details of the candidates positions/plans, stating what is wrong with Obama. He has as many means of paying for his plans as does Clinton. He has a saner and more wisdom-based foreign policy stance (realistic and re-engaging us in the world at large) than Hillary – who appears too afraid to rock the boat of the status quo (won't sit down with leaders till they demonstrate a conformance to American will). Barack is a brilliant and reasonable man. One who is just as competent as the last Clinton who entered the White House will little experience. Barack's view of American and what is can be – and the world and how we should operate in it – are enough to make me a believer. GO-Bama!

CNN is so blinded by the facade of the Obama light. Should he become the Democratic Nominee for President, he will loose to McCain. All will see he is nothing but a motivator.

Democrats will change their party line and vote McCain in. CNN should take a poll on that.

How cna HIllary be honored to be onstage one night, then outraged over his mailers the next? Especially since the mailers in question contain the same information and statements that Obama has been making to Hillarys face. I think her alleged outrage is just more of the calculated drama and bad acting her campaign has been involved in for months now. Saturday wasnt the first time she'd seen the mailers, but it was the day after she failed to hit a homerun during the debates. When the going gets tough, Hillary gets emotional every time!

Let's hope Ohio can show the same good judgment that so many other states have shown throughout the primaries – ignore the polls, vote your heart and your common sense. Who do you want to listen to and trust for the next four and maybe eight years?

I love her new makeover as "Despicable Candidate". Yeah, Hill, let's really go after hope and a positive, unifying message. That's the way to win! I used to like and respect her. She's revealing a pretty petty and desparate side. It's sad and disgusting to see. Obama will trounce her. Just watch.

Watching Hillary over the past several days has been like watching that old movie "The Three Faces of Eve." Who is the real Hillary Clinton? Last Thursday night, she is gracious and "honored to be on the same stage with Barack Obama", then, two days later she screams "Shame on you, Barack Obama" from the stump in Ohio. On Sunday, does she rest? NO! She sarcastically mocks the hopeful and inspirational message of a fellow democrat iduring another campaign appearance. Doe she stop there? NO! Today, her campaign circulates a photo of Obama wearing traditional Muslim dress during a recent visit to Somalia - a clear attempt to label him a "muslim" and by implication - a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer. This is pathetic and unpresidential. I'm a life-long democrat but if Hillary is the nominee, I'm voting for McCain.

That;s not true, you look at Obama. He has done nothing in his senate, I am so shameful that he is senate. In his years of service, Illionios still state with POOREST EDUCATION,VERY HIGHEST CRIME RATE IN US, PEOPLE ARE SO DIVIDED.
I WAS READING ARTICLE OTHER HAND, ONE OF THE REASON FOR HIGH MURDER RATE IS PEOPLE ARE SO DIVIDED. ILLIONIO SENATE TALKS ABOUT UNITY SO MUCH BUT HE COULD NOT UNITE PEOPLE IN HIS OWN SENATE, PEOPLE ARE KILLING EACH OTHER HE EXPECTS US TO BELIEVE HE WILL UNITE THE COUNTRY. THAT"S SO FUNNY, WHEN HE WAS NOT ABLE TO UNITE PEOPLE IN HIS HOME STATE,HOW CAN HE UNITE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY. HE IS GIVING INSPIRATIONAL, RHETORIC, UNITY SPEECH FOR HIS PERSONAL BENEFIT,HE DOES ANYTHING/SAY ANYTHING TO WIN ELECTION

The country is tired of Bushes and Clintons. I am a life long Democrat who campaigned for John Kerry and knocked on doors for Obama in Atlanta. He won big here, AND Many Obama voters told me they would vote for McCain if Hillary gets the nomination. She might be able to beat McCain, but I'm not so sure about that, especially with Nader in the race. We'll lose The young voters if Obama is not the nominee. AND the Independents will go for McCain too. Hillary burns bridges. Obama builds bridges! we need someone who can unite the country for real change in Washington.

I think America is about to make history that will either make America or destroy the country completely. The Bush family destroyed our economy and kill our Children in Iraq..Yah I hope we have not forgotten so soon. After the Senior President Bush, the Jr President Bush took over from where his father logged off...Is this a family thing? Now the Clintons want to have their own share of the deal. President Bill has done his term now it is his wife turn. Does that mean we don't have intelligent people in America anymore that this Office of the President has to move from father to son or husband to wife.
I am pissed by this arrangement. I love Hillary. Please don't get me wrong. She had all the opportunity to do all she would have done for America when she was first Lady...if she could not do it then, Please lets try someone else Mc or OB...certainly not Hillary.

She is not only a woman, she is also the one who can be in fact ready on day one. Now Obama is using dirty politics, is that the change.. " Just Words" as you would say Mr. Obama from a borrowed speech that you did not quote.

If Hillary does not win the nomination, then what other woman that you may think of will get the nomination in the next 12 years or so?
That s a good point.

Senior citizens, women, latinos and males who think outside of the box can make change things in the right direction.

Hillary for President!

I can;t believe rhetoric talker Obama made you all fools, deceiving with his JUST INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH so STRONG EVIDENCE OF WHAT HE WILL DO IF HE WINS, HOW HE SOLVES PROBLEMS. I am glad people are realizing that he is talker not doer, OBAMA IS THE CANDIDATE I NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, HE USES OLD WASHINGTON POLITICS FOR HIS BENEFIT,DO ANYTHING SEE ANYTHING TO WIN ELECTION.

From factcheck.org "In closing, we'd just note that Clinton is no innocent on sending out misleading mailers. We reported on Feb. 6 that a mailing by her campaign contained a "big distortion" of Obama's position on Social Security taxes and falsely implied that he had "no plan" to address mortgage foreclosures. It also attacked him for voting for a "Dick Cheney" energy bill that gave "huge tax breaks to oil companies," when in fact the bill gave a net tax increase to oil companies."

I think that Hillary is graping her last breath of defeat here. because if you at the polls in Ohio. the history will repeat it as in Wisconsin. This lead will evaporate within a week. She was ahead 21 points on Feb 12
He is gaining grounds and closing the gab much faster. Another defeat is on horizon. The desperation is evident and negative campaign is in place to score some more points. You can defeat a movement that is funded by the people. The U.S hope lies with Obama. Ii is time for her to leave the football now. It is done.

Obama needs to stop pretending he is another MLK or JFK. He is not even close. I am glad that people are now seeing the true man. He is unpatriotic and will drop you in a heartbeat. Look at what happened at this weekend's black union gathering in New Orleans. Hillary was there, he was not. He will do almost anything to win. Be rhetorical, miss important meetings with constituents, and XEROX speeches!!! It is time Mr. Obama to come up with your OWN plans, not someone elses. Let's see your true colors.

Obama is a motivational speaker.....he has not proven he is a leader. The comments on this and most CNN threads lead me to believe that Obama supporters are very sexist and uniformed. Stan says "If Hillary had divorced Bill and stood on her own two feet- I believe she would have done much better as a nominee and as a human being." THAT is sexist...it means that any woman who wants to keep her family together after her husband had an affair is stupid, a lesser human being, has no self-respect, and is a sham and disgrace (in Stan's and the media's opinion)....he who is without sin, cast the first stone. WAKE UP PEOPLE

I hope the people of Ohio look long and hard at Hillary Clinton in the next few days and think about what voting for her really means for the Democratic Party.

Please think about the following actions:
1) "xerox" comment
2) scolding Obama for fliers she later didn't deny the content of
3) sending out equally, if not more so, misleading fliers about Obama the day after the debate
4) sending out the Kenyan garb photo in an obvious attempt to appeal to people's fears.

These are not the actions of a leader or a person who believes the American people are more important than herself. If she really believed that, she would try to unify the party and not create more division.

I know many strongly support Clinton, but please think about these things before allowing this primary to continue.

I'm so sick of the "kool-aid" comments. Barack Obama is not Jim Jones, and his supporters are not deluded cult followers on a suicide mission in the jungle. To suggest otherwise is not only revoltingly offensive in itself but demeans a large section of our electorate.

Imagine if Hillary Clinton was being incessantly compared to Squeaky Fromme of the Manson family... Not only would this suggestion be absurd beyond comprehension, but it would paint Mrs. Clinton's supporters as deranged homicidal maniacs.

Please stop these bizarre remarks.

If Hillary were to pull off a miracle and win the nomination, McCain would clobber her. She is acting quite erratic lately and is either personally "losing it" or getting terrible advice. She and McCain are too much alike. How about REAL change in Iraq? How about REALLY putting lobbyists in their place? How about a new conciliatory approach?? Only Obama can defeat McCain and Hillary should stop the divisive, nasty, personal attacks. I used to support her, then I felt sorry for her and now I think it's time for her to leave the scene.
