Clinton last appeared on Stewart's show in 2003.

(CNN) – Sen. Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear on Comedy Central’s ‘The Daily Show’ on Monday, March 3, according to a press release by the cable outlet.

Clinton has previously appeared on the political talk show but her upcoming appearance will be the first since announcing her run for the White House in 2007.

The scheduled appearance comes a day before crucial primaries in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island, and Vermont where some pundits believe Clinton must do well in order to keep herself in the race for the Democratic nomination.

Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain, the two other leading contenders for the White House, have both appeared on the popular show since the presidential campaign started in early 2007.

WHat is she going to do : cry?
what is she going to say: blah blah blah, her old same stuff, attacks on Senator Obama, because she can never focused on what she says she has done in 35 years.
who cares where she appears, I just h ope that the people of this country sees through her phony crying, her mean personality and ugly words.
We want change, and we dont want more Clintons or Bush ……….

Tanya, Chicago   March 1st, 2008 10:18 am ET

It makes me really sad to see that we are again heading in the wrong direction. I had the same feeling 5 years back when we decided to invade Iraq. Most of people were fired up that time and wanted to bomb every camels butt in Iraq. Yes, I remember that! But look what we have bombed? Its our Social Security, our Economy, our freedom, Our Education system, Our Medicare, Our Health Insurances and everything else.

Our Currency value has lost 25% of the value in the last 5 years. Now those who can still afford a European vacation soon realizes that anyone in Europe has more buying power than well to do families in US. I know, some economists will soon correct me by saying that this is good for our economy and good for our exports. But think who is benefitting from this! We all know that the jobs that are outsourced to other countries are not coming back to US easily until it is no longer profitable for the US companies to operate in other countries.

I can understand that people are so desperate for change but that does not mean that we should vote for a person without any experience. We have to be very careful what we wish for as democracy is a powerful tool in the hands of people. We know that in certain parts of the world even Hamas and Communist are democratically elected to office! So before voting not just think about what’s good for you, think about what is good for our country. Vote with your Brain and not your Hearts… I know I said too much but you get the idea!

You know the funniest part? Even if Obama does not deliver the change he promised in Washington and around the world, no can blame him because all he said was "Yes we can", and Obama can rightfully point out that everyone else have to do their part for any meaningful change to happen!

I honestly don’t think that we have time for trial and error when our economy is heading towards a recession and our foreign polices is already in a great depression. I agree that Obama is a person who knows what is wrong with the world (bullet pointed list of changes) but knowing everything that is wrong with the world enough? We all know what wrong with this world; we need a plan to fix the problems. To the people who are still ignorant about the issues affecting the world, listing the problems itself may be a huge deal but not to sensible people who really cares how to bring real change in everyone’s life.

And do we elect Obama just because he opposed the Iraq war first (when everyone knew its wrong but still had to agree to invade because the White House presented an excellent case for the Iraq War)? Well we made a big mistake by invading a country without a good plan, but again why are we doing the same mistake again by voting for a person without a plan? Am I just going nuts here or is something really wrong here?

We all know Obama is a good, honest man and we want him to serve this country for a long time. So what’s wrong if he becomes the VP and getting some real experience before becoming the president? After all it’s all in the interest of this great nation!

Bill J from Pa.   March 1st, 2008 10:20 am ET

Love you Hillary………………………………..08…………………………………………

AR   March 1st, 2008 10:20 am ET

At least logic won't be required. Latest example - HRC campaign says Obama will be in trouble if he doesn't win all of the contests next Tuesday because he spent so much. I guess that's why we had president Perot and why Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee, right…? no…wait

elrali   March 1st, 2008 10:20 am ET

Hillary, please retire from the race !

elrali   March 1st, 2008 10:22 am ET

Obama must be the PRESIDENT.
Clinton can be a great VP.

Kat, Huntington, West Virginia   March 1st, 2008 10:24 am ET

thank you Tanya! Very well said and I only hope people read your post and spread that message. I could not agree more. Stop with the slams and making fun of Hillary, look at who is best for this job and vote for leadership and experience. Hillary!

Dang your long winded. Tanya…but made some excellent points.

Wake up America before it's too late! I know lots of Repugs voting for Obama in Texas today because they know he can't beat McCain in Nov.

VOTE HILLARY…GET A DEMOCRATE THAT IS READY AND KNOWS WHAT TO DO IN THE WHITE HOUSE! PLEASE DON'T BE STUPID AGAAAAAAAAAAIN.

Texas for Hillary!

dee   March 1st, 2008 10:26 am ET

Tanya- I can understand your plea as I used to be Hillary supporter myself ..how can Obama be VP when he is winning now?

Pedro in AZ   March 1st, 2008 10:27 am ET

It is in the interest of this GREAT NATION to elect someone with experience and unquestioned LOYALTY to the United States of America. Someone who has dedicated his life and placed his life on the line for THIS country. That person is JOHN SYDNEY MCCAIN.

Stop Obama before it is too late.

KC, Dallas Texas   March 1st, 2008 10:28 am ET

Think about this: if Obama doesn't talk…what else make you think he is qualified? None, right?

He said, "my friend gave me those words, I think it's good, so I used it in my campain."

Google his fundraiser friend, Tony Rezko, who was arrested last week.

Wake up folks!! Don't just criticize Hillary on voting for entering Iraq, back then 90% Americans support it. It's Bush who abused the right to let the troops stay until now.

Hillary 08!!!!

Mike Piazza   March 1st, 2008 10:28 am ET

She is routinely booed by the younger studio audience of the Daily Show. Should be interesting, if nothing else…

Teresa C   March 1st, 2008 10:30 am ET

When we are obligated to vote for a President we really should look deep into our candidates and do our very best to make the right choice. My son is in Iraq for the 2nd tour. when he comes home for R&R people always ask him how he feels about the invasion of Iraq? He answeres them with this.. " be carefull who we vote for" So please look deep and really think about who we vote for.. It may cause one of your children to end up in War.. Hillary Clinton is my choice, after CAREFULL research and deep insight.. She has always been making CHANGES and I believe she will continue to do so.. Please do your homework Americans!!!

Wayne   March 1st, 2008 10:31 am ET

At last the worm has started to turn. Americans are waking up to the fact that the media has tried to push Obama down our throats, while constantly disparaging Hillary Clinton. It's great that Hillary is going to do this show. Sometimes showing a little humor goes a long way. SNL proved that last week! Rock On Hillary!!!!!

Junebug   March 1st, 2008 10:31 am ET

Hey there is another guy running who opposed the war, Nader. Obama better come up with something better. He is not the only one who opposed it from day one. Also Nader has been getting it right from day one since before Obama understood what a vote was.

Johan Bc Canada   March 1st, 2008 10:32 am ET

perhaps she can sing our national anthem: "Oh Bamada."

Tim R   March 1st, 2008 10:32 am ET

No, we don't have time for "trial and error", which is what we would get with Hillary.

She tried to get universal health care and failed [due to backroom politics and unwillingness to compromise].

She voted incorrectly to let Bush invade Iraq, and we're paying an enormous price.

She supported NAFTA, and is now trying to change her tune, and we've lost a ton of jobs overseas.

Obama's history and experience are far superior to Clinton's.

This is a no-brainer.

BTW, why won't Hillary release her tax returns? What is she hiding?

James Smith   March 1st, 2008 10:32 am ET

I love John Stuart. He's a funny and smart man, and his show is awesome. I'm sure Sen. Clinton will show America how warm, engaging and funny she is.

Listen, the Clinton camp did not say Sen. Obama MUST win all states big to remain viable. No one is that stupid. They said he SHOULD win the four states big, considering how much he's outspent Sen. Clinton. Read carefully, folks.

WomanWithHope   March 1st, 2008 10:32 am ET

STOP THIS GARBAGE TALK.
CLINTON IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. SHE WILL NOT CRY AND HAS NEVER CRIED IN PUBLIC YOU IDOTS. TEARING UP IS NOT CRYING YOU FOOLS.

Jacques   March 1st, 2008 10:33 am ET

This is not the smartest move, a last minute appeal to young voters from a woman who has proven her inability to deliver one liners or have any comedic timing what-so-ever.

Lets hope someone writes better lines for her than the Xerox and SNL lines.

elaine   March 1st, 2008 10:33 am ET

I AM SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT HILLIARY EXPERIENCE. THE ONLY EXPERIENCE SHE HAS IS HOW TO BE A LYING DECEITFUL WIN AT ANY COST POLITICIAN. IF SHE IS SO EXPERIENCE THAN WHY DID SHE VOTE FOR THE WAR….NAFTA…INCREASING TAX LOOP HOLES FOR COMPANIES THAT GO OVERSEA'S WITH OUR JOBS….MISMANAGING HER CAMPAIGN….FAILED AT THE FIRST ATTEMPT FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE…SHADY DEALINGS IN WATERGATE AND TRAVELGATE..VOTED TO MOST BELOVED DEMOCRAT OF BIG BUSINESS IN FORTUNE 100 MAGAZINE…RECEIVED MORE MONEY FROM SPECIAL INTEREST THAN ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT…I COULD GO ON BUT WHAT'S THE USE….CLINTON SUPPORTERS CAN'T SEEM TO GRASP THAT THEIR GIRL IS POWER HUNGRY AND CORRUPT AND SHE WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO WIN…SHE IS ENTITLED SO SHE FEELS…

I agree with Tanya that we have no time for trial and error, hoping for Anything new just to revitalize our government….even a fresh face like Obama, who is capitalizing on the fears of another White House dynasty in the making, cannot solve all our problems… his campaign is also a fierce, hard-hitting machine - packaged as hope and renewal, when it's just another way to derail the democratic party…I'd love to see him as VP and be groomed into the change-leader we all hope him to be… but will his competitive nature be able to handle a strong female president as his boss?

Sue   March 1st, 2008 10:36 am ET

Thanks Tanya. I am so tired of the Hillary bashing! Also so what if she cries! Lets get to the issues we as Americans are facing and vote for the one person best suited to handle the issues. I say, ready on day one with Solutions for Change….Go Hillary! Obama is a sweet talking Bush….no idea on what to do only has words.

In Texas, the same people that voted for Bush over Gore are voting for Obama over Hillary. Then they will vote McCain in Nov to put him in the WH.

Now, many people love Gore and Hate Bush. If Obama or McCain get it, in a couple of years you'll be wondering why you weren't smart enough to elect Hillary.

I just can't believe how stupidity can repeat itself over and over. There is not much difference between Clinton and Obama except that she more prepared for the job and can beat McCain particularly with O has her running mate. Obama can not. They are going to chew him up and spit him out. Raise your IQ and get a democrat in there people! The only sure way will be a Clinton/Obama ticket. If you like one with your brain…you will like the other.

VOTE HILLARY NOW
VOTE CLINTON /OBAMA IN NOV

We all know Obama will happily take her offer for VP, but she can not accept to be VP for someone that will be learning from her. Please don't screw it up America…get it right!

Pat Stone   March 1st, 2008 10:38 am ET

The county is taking the wrong road when it comes to electing the Democratic nominee. Everything seems to indicate that Obama is going to win, and this will be a huge mistake.
The press, though this is "unpopular" to say, is in fact protecting Obama. He is fighting with 6 OZ gloves while Hillery is being made to fight with 16 OZ gloves. I've got news, John McCain is not going to use any gloves. This will be a bear nuckle fight, and Obama is going to loose.
The issues that McCain is going to bring up don't apply to Hillery. She in fact, has a much better chace of winning over McCain.
The so call "Dream Team" would in fact have the better chance to beat the GOP in November, but Obama won't pick Hillery if he wins. He feels he doesn't need her, and in fact feels like she would be a liability. Hillery on the other hand, I think is smarter than that and I beleive would pick Obama as her running mate, and bring to the table the support he currently enjoys.
The fact is that Obama is not ready, and his record on the sente proves this, but no one cares, why ? because there are those who just simply don't like Hillery and would see "anyone" win over her, at any price….and the price, is steep in deed.
Obama is destined to be a "one term" President. If I were Hillery, I would not accept being his running mate if asked and wait four years then run again against him. Provided he wins, which I don't think he will. Regardless of the Presidential race outcome between Obama and McCain, four years from now, Hillery will be able to say "I told you so". Why ? if Obama wins, because he doen't have the experience to deal with the domestic issues, and he will be a much weaker President than Carter on Foreign Policy issues. If McCain wins, because the weaknesses that he has, and which Hillery has been trying to expose, will result in the Democrats loosing a golden opportunity to win the White House. At a time when we are in a ressession and at war, he's just the wrong person to have in the White House. Period. This is not the time to pick a President based on "popularity". We need someone with guts and experience to get the job done, regardless of how we feel personally about them (or her, in this case). there is simply, way to much at stake.
The Hillery first, Obama second ticket, would have the greatest chance of creating unity among the democrats and cooperation across party lines to brake a stalemate that has existed for the past 12 years or so, since the Moinica fiasco, which by the way, was fuled by the GOP in an effort to control the Congress, Senete and the White House out of greed for power.
It might be to late. If Hillery looses Texas, I think she would quit because she doen't want to tear the Democratic party if the fight were to come down to Super Delegates. I beleive her loyalty and service to the party are greater than her own amitions for Presidential office and the historical implications of that achievment. That would silence some who beleive otherwise, not not all. There are those who would kick her when she's down. Hatered is indded an ugly thing devoid of humanisum.

KDC   March 1st, 2008 10:38 am ET

6 years as a Senator is vast experience? Sure, he's got Obama beat unless you include his state legislature experience. Oh wait, she includes all of Bill Clinton's terms in the white house as well. And what did she do there? Oh yeah, the failed health plan, poorly executed and a good example of her effectiveness as a leader. New York with less jobs than she started? Oh, that's this administration is the excuse. No creativity in execution there. Why won't she release her taxes? What's she hiding there? What about the documents so we can actually see what she did while Bill was in the White House? I want transparency in my government and she's already showing she's not willing to do that.

Hillary has proven much to this country: divisiveness, ineffectiveness, and secrecy. I can get that anywhere. Obama is someone who has already shown to be more intelligent, calm, logical, and sensible than any other candidate. Living in Louisiana, I've already experienced a governor that cried and was ineffectual. I'm not about to vote a similar candidate into the White House.

OK…..my prediction:

Hillary will cry at least one time on national television prior to March 4th. She is behind in Texas and needs to sway the "sympathetic" vote to push her over the edge.

Mark my words, she will fake at least one visible, emotional display in public. It' all an act and part of the strategy.

Poor Hillary. If I cannot cheat, fearmonger and lie my way to the nomination, then I'll just have to cry.

Yeah, I have seen what I hoped to see in my life time I really like Jon Stewart, he asks the tough one's I'd like to see her answer, "What took you so long?" "Obama and McCain were here after their Run" Quiet is kept she didn't need him until now. Watch the Spin Factor, watch the same old politics. As for a Presidential Run, I prefer seeing what's been lacking, Good Common Since. The most qualified canidates did even make to the finals, All I see is a person who saw the Power of America and had big dreams, A candidate that seen it all in Washinton i.e. most experienced. And a guy who felt the need to see something good change for America, And stood up, check his past, He's always stood up, Obama is where he is now because he stood UP. And made many accomplishments, i.e. first African American President at Harvard Law School. Turned down Huge Job Offers, to be a Community Organizer, Standing UP on principle

corky   March 1st, 2008 10:40 am ET

Iam looking forward to seeing the show. Hillary should ask Obama if all he can campaign on is the Iraq War how come he isn't opposed to taking endorsements from fellow senators who voted like her such as Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd,etc.etc. to name a few. Hillary is a better canidate to lead this country out of all the problems the Bush administration got everyone into. Don't tell me experience doesn't count because it does. Obama to this date I do not know what he is all about just speeches a whole lot of nothing. Have fun and Good Luck on Tuesday. Hilllary 2008 Cnn Please post this.

WHAT REALLY MATTERS

Time and again our nation has been tested. Tested by forces within and outside. It amazes me how everytime we have emerged stronger, better and more prominent. Nothing appears to be different this time. The impending recession, the fractured employment strutcure and the growing burden of healthcare demands. Each of these elements does its share to slow our growth.

On a similar corollary, it needs immense pressure, heat and time for a DIAMOND to be made. In political parlance it means immense struggle, never ending desire and experience respectively. Who would even get close to saying Hillary lacks any of these elements.

The change form this only means settling for GRAPHITE. We have diamonds and we dont need graphite. Experience is the key. If you would choose an experienced interventional cardiologist for your heart' it should be natural for us to select someone we can trust. Experience matteres, matters and only matters.

No offence to the other guy, remember with pressure, heat and time, he has potential to be a diamond to. At this time, I am sorry, far from it.
I had a chance to go through every fine print of HIllary's policies which sound a sturdy solution to our contemporary problems.

There is no stopping Hillary. Go HILLARY go. HIllary, a resonating victory awaits you…

Pat   March 1st, 2008 10:42 am ET

I believe it was Einstein who said that great works were "1% inspiration, 99% perspiration," meaning that hard work is the overwhelming factor in success. Obama is certainly inspirational, but Hillary has proven time and time again that her hard work pays dividends. What a team they could be! But I think Hillary should be the leader . . . She has the experience Barack lacks. She won't make the mistakes he will inevitably make. He could learn and grow as vice president. He could ensure us of leadership in the future. By "spending" him now, who will we have in 2016?

Charlotte   March 1st, 2008 10:42 am ET

What is wrong with you Obama-bots, Sen. Clinton did not cry. Sen. Clinton became a little emotional when speaking about her love for this country. Beats the hell out of being proud of your country for the first time in your life. Sen. Clinton gets a little upset at Obama for his lies about her health care plan that she cares very much about. I am proud she has the courage to stand up for what she believes in and will fight for it. Unlike Obama who now says Al Qaeda in Afghanastan was more important then the war in Iraq, yet never held a meeting while chairman of that committee for 14 months? He's a real leader alright. Furthermore, when he was supporting Kerry he said he is not sure how he would have voted on Iraq. He puts politics, and his dreams of the presidency above all else.

gail   March 1st, 2008 10:43 am ET

I can't understand why the Barak-supporters are so willing to endure another term in which an inexperienced blowhard fumbles the presidential reins. Hillary is, by far, the best candidate put forward; 'forgive' her her gender and put her in the White House where she belongs.

Alice   March 1st, 2008 10:43 am ET

Two smart people can make things done. Vote Hillary! We can get Bill's advice for free. Two presidents' experience! What a fortune for this country!

Obama makes me scared. He voted over 100 times " present" on important issues. His judgement is a joke.

James: It's "Stewart" not "Stuart" and you say it is one of your favorite shows?????

I still find it hard to believe that most of those who comment for Hilary or Barack will vote for the other in November. My feelings are not so flexible that I can spew hate one month and then gush warm fuzzy feelings the next. Are we really that shallow?

I doubt if any of the comments put out really change anyone's mind but it gives the commentor a sense of power. Not so bad really.

Shock and Awe   March 1st, 2008 10:44 am ET

There is a certain thing to this I just don't understand…
Hillary had a great commercial!!! Just another attempt of HE who shall not be named to be unoriginal (YEA WHAT SHE SAID, I AGREE WITH HILLARY) btw- I didn't vote for IRAQ? Well of course he didn't vote for it - HE wasn't even in the US Senate— how can he even say this as a positive!!!! How do we know that he wouldn't have voted with the other 77 Senators like John Kerry and Chris Dodd that both supported the RESOLUTION like Hillary Clinton— The likelihood here is for Obama to be in this group if he was in the senate— he would have joined the 77-23 vote. Obama has claimed that he regrets (in the Texas Debate) some of his other votes about not voting against a bill that was 98-0 claiming he was complacent… He who doesn't vote when it counts, when it matters… as a president do YOU want someone who votes along party lines or someone who you can trust to vote with what is in their conscience… Clinton's vote (and the other US Senators) was based on faulty evidence brought by the Bush administration and this point can't be underscored enough!!!

SO ASK YOURSELF–Why are you supporting HE who shall remain nameless? it's hope? change? Hope for what? Change for what? You want someone who is only able to attack the Iraq war when it's convenient? (when he wasn't in the US SENATE, he was a state senator) as his only evidence being I never voted for a resolution (of course that's convenient in the SENATE)? THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT— HE has nothing! Offers nothing!!! WAKE UP AMERICA— HE who shall remain nameless is there for change- WHAT CHANGE? WHAT HOPE? WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO ACHIEVE??? Yes we can–Yes we can what? IT's OUR CAMPAIGN? OUR CAMPAIGN FOR WHAT? TO TAKE BACK WHAT? We are not the proletariat rising against the Bourgeoisie…Yes CAN WE DO? YES we do WHAT???— if Barack is in the white house what will he do? Do you know? All I know is that he talks a good talk, and spins his wheels… and we MUST VOTE FOR HILLARY, a straight talker– YES WE CAN!! GO HILLARY 2008… AT 3AM I want the most experienced DEMOCRAT ANSWERING THE PHONE!!! HILLARY CLINTON!!!

John White, Texas   March 1st, 2008 10:44 am ET

Wao…..she`s so full of despair and ready to do anything regardless of danger. Dems in foreign lands have spoken and said by voting that all they want is Obama. They live abroad and understands from outside, what the USA need. If Her Royal Highness, madam choose me or see hell does`t see this, then she has nothing to do or say about foreign issues. What will become of the Clintons after the show of shame they`ve been up to?

Alice Rea   March 1st, 2008 10:48 am ET

To All Americans:

Why isn't anyone seeing that this campaign is for the President of the United States.

I don't think any one that is voting for Obama is old enough to understand the importance of a resume or the condition of our country.

Granted Obama can speak but that isn't going to proove anything about his performance.

We know very little about Obama. Stop thinking that anytime people ask questions they are trying to smear him.

I want to know of any of criminal ties. I want to know about the radical groups that are supporting him. I want to know why he doesn't explain to the public that his Father was a Muslim. I want to know why he doesn't mention that his mother was an Athiest/ Agnostic.

His views and values are relevant. His connections with radical groups are importtant. His church needs to be explored.

Please let's not close our eyes to this being about smearing a candidate. ALL candidates should be investigated.

paul, nyc ny   March 1st, 2008 10:49 am ET

Has anyone noticed the change in tone in the media towards Barack Obama? It is almost as if the press is realizing that they have been backing him so much that they forgot to ask him what he is all about or going to do other than CHANGE?

Even the rhetoric about Hillary's sinking campaign from a week ago has changed to "you never know she could come back". They no longer wonder aloud why she is in the race but question whether she will upset the race. Barack did it by winning. He did it once by stopping his winning streak.

The benefit of the Daily Show will be just that she gets to lighten up after working real hard.

WIsh you luck Hillary. WIN!!!

Joe   March 1st, 2008 10:50 am ET

Obama is a flip flop period. Now calling the Canadians and telling them not to worry that he won't get rid of NAFTA! I just heard that news. What a joker. Then he slams Clinton for fear tactics because of her legitimate ad and what does he do but run basicly the same exact ad…so is he saying that he is using scare tactics as well? Nope…didn't think so. This guy is a joke!

John, Las Vegas, NV   March 1st, 2008 10:50 am ET

I'd like John to ask one question of Hillary. "Hillary, how do you think Democrats would react if Republicans had aired the same red phone ad you just ran implying that neither you nor Barack were fit to answer the call?" I can tell you they would be OUTRAGED at the backhanded smear of either of them. Any any Democrat should be equally outraged at Hillary's ad. If Barack becomes the nominee, if I were the Republicans I would just replay Hillary's red phone ad over and over to emphasize that Barack isn't ready to answer that call and McCain is ready.

Mary   March 1st, 2008 10:50 am ET

It is interesting to me when I read these forums to see how deeply the Hillary hate goes. Most supporters of Clinton say positive things about her and hope that she can win against Obama. The Obama supporters are just plain mean and filled with hate.
It's all very discouraging.

Wayne   March 1st, 2008 10:51 am ET

CNN is intimidated by the clintons so now they only post pro Clinton comments. Not even Huckabee has lost 11 straight. This race should be over. Clinton has less experience as a public elected official. Obama was in elected office for 5 years before hill won her first office. Plus her Iraq vote led to 4000 deaths, 30000 wounded trillion dollars gone. That shouldn't be rewarded with the white house.

PS in VA   March 1st, 2008 10:51 am ET

Tanya from Chicago—Your post is ridiculous!

I am sick of the experience argument! Bill Clinton had no experience either according to everyone when he was running. George Bush had experience—So everyone says. Now, experience is a big issue for Obama? If Hillary is so experienced, wouldn't her campaign had run better the Obama's? They both started out with $100 million dollars and she ran out of money. If she can't run a campaign why trust with running the country? Or are you counting on Bill to do the job?

Yes, change is not a bad thing to desire. We are sick of the corruption from these people. Character matter to some of us. Tell Hillary to release her tax returns and papers concerning her schedule while in the White House. Until then, we're not buying it!!!

Austin, Texas   March 1st, 2008 10:51 am ET

Here's the bottom line of the General Election. Obama Supporters, you should read this. Hillary supporters, you already know because you're apart of it, like myself.

McCain will turn alot of independants voting for Obama due to his border aisle stance in the GOP. Obama is far left wing, and his supporters will slowly move once we get into the issues and solutions.

McCain will pick up more of the Latino vote than Obama. With Hillary out of the race, the Latino vote will sway a little more towards McCain. (Not saying all will, but a portion), which will increase McCain's already large Latino vote.

Obama will be pressed on national security, a field the only arguement he has for is, (I was against the war in Iraq). This will only hold up for so long. Fact is, we are there now, and it's not about looking to the past, it's about looking to the future.

And the biggest one:

The Majority of Obama supporters support him for his charisma, his charm, and his idea's of hope. Clinton supporters support her for her experience, her loyalty, and working with the Republicans on many topics. She has worked with McCain on many things.

Clinton supporters will be more likely to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama in a General Election due to the Experience factor. Obama has no military experience, nor does he have any foreign affairs experience. Altho heading a subcommittee for NATO in Afghanistan, he neglected it, had no meetings, to run his presidential campaign.

Electability is a huge thing right now. Obama supporters have less reason to not vote for Clinton, than Clinton supporters have for not voting for Obama.

This is a college educated theory. It is not fact, and I could be wrong, but it's something to look at. I myself cannot see myself voting for Obama. He makes me nervous in a time of turmoil. I cannot risk having Obama in office when there are so many people out there looking to harm us. I am a dedicated Hillary supporter, but will vote for John McCain in a General Election based soley on the fact, he is much more experienced in the field we are walking into. Obama is not.

Bill from Pa.   March 1st, 2008 10:51 am ET

Hillary is the one we need to lead our country.

Obama is cool, however I'm not looking for cool.

I want a smart women to run our country.

Thank you CNN for allowing to share my view point.

Hillary has being playing the victim card.

-She went to court because navada workers supported Obama
-Now she is threatening to take taxas to court for the way they run the primaries in the state.
-She blame the media for supporting Obama.
-She wants women to vote for her because she is a woman
-She cry for sympathy
What a poor woman

Sue, NY   March 1st, 2008 10:53 am ET

Who cares!

Texas for Hillary   March 1st, 2008 10:53 am ET

Anyone question Hillary's Experience?

Everyone on earth knows Hillary is CO-president who help bill make critical dicision. they do supior job in US history, they create 27 million jobs, it is the best time to be American in history. The real experience is not enough?

Why this highest job is "No experience required!!"

Judgement?

If obama have judgement, he should know his long time friend —middle east business man is corrupted. If Obama have brain, he will not buy a house which he can't afford, asking Rezko pay for the land, which is "bone head mistake"

Vote for Iraq is right judgement based on the intelligence and threat at that time. Things turn to wrong because the intelligence failture.

Obama always say "It is washington's fault, it is bush's fault", Why he never criticize his home state where Chicago is the most corrupted state?——Because he is one of them!!!

Wake up! You are going to vote another Bush, and much worse than bush, he is Hilter!

Hillary all the way!

A. K.   March 1st, 2008 10:54 am ET

Of course she has many experiences, but bad experiences.

Gary in CT   March 1st, 2008 10:54 am ET

Why is it that any other woman in the United States who supported the household while her husband pursued his interests, took backseat to his career ambitions, and suffered through 35 years of sustained abuse by being lied to, cheated on, and publicly humiliated would be considered mentally abusedand in dire need of sunstantial pshycological treatment but Hillary is considered worthy of becoming the stable leader of the free world? Just look at her mood swings people!

John Z.   March 1st, 2008 10:55 am ET

I read the comment from Tanya (Chicago) and I agree with it 100%!Further to her remarks, one of the reasons that some Democrats are backing Obama is that they think he has a better chance of beating McCain in the general election. But the latest poll released on Friday from Pew Research shows both Clinton and Obama with a similar lead over McCain (50-45% vs. 50-43%, respectively). So where's the Obama advantage?

Janel, St. Paul, MN   March 1st, 2008 10:55 am ET

This should be interesting.

When Jon was interviewed by Larry King and asked about the candidates, Jon replied, "Hillary. Well, people recognize her name. She was the one who was married to the president."

AtlantaVoter   March 1st, 2008 10:55 am ET

When the phone rings in the White House it's for real — Obama won't be able to say "oh, that's not what I meant" the next day.

Get real folks and stop drinking the Kool-Aid. We need someone who already knows the right answers as leader of the Free World. You don't get on-the-job-training with this job.

Raphael Houston, TX   March 1st, 2008 10:56 am ET

SO ASK YOURSELF–Why are you supporting HE who shall remain nameless? it's hope? change? Hope for what? Change for what? You want someone who is only able to attack the Iraq war when it's convenient? (when he wasn't in the US SENATE, he was a state senator) as his only evidence being I never voted for a resolution (of course that's convenient in the SENATE)? THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT— HE has nothing! Offers nothing!!! WAKE UP AMERICA— HE who shall remain nameless is there for change- WHAT CHANGE? WHAT HOPE? WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO ACHIEVE??? Yes we can–Yes we can what? IT's OUR CAMPAIGN? OUR CAMPAIGN FOR WHAT? TO TAKE BACK WHAT? We are not the proletariat rising against the Bourgeoisie…Yes CAN WE DO? YES we do WHAT???— if Barack is in the white house what will he do? Do you know? All I know is that he talks a good talk, and spins his wheels… and we MUST VOTE FOR HILLARY, a straight talker– YES WE CAN!! GO HILLARY 2008… AT 3AM I want the most experienced DEMOCRAT ANSWERING THE PHONE!!! HILLARY CLINTON!!!

Tom   March 1st, 2008 10:56 am ET

Hillary has the experience necessary to be president. She's lost some battles (1993 healthcare) won some battles (1997 SCHIP for children) and has a unique type of experience. I think that 8 years as a U.S. Senator, 8 years as a U.S. First Lady, and 12 years as a First Lady of Arkansa. During her whole career she has fought to make healthcare affordable and accessible to children and the uninsured. Hillary has been battle tested and even if you don't agree with her no one can doubt her sincerity. The policies she supports aren't just for campaign bumper stickers but are issues she's been fighting for her whole adult life.

Here's a question for Obama supporters: If he hadn't been a Senator when he voted to increase funding for the war in Iraq what would he be saying about that issue now? We all know the answer don't we. The truth is that there are a number of people who are like this. But, that won't solve the issue of what do we do in 2009. I think Hillar's plan has the best chance for success and the best chance to lead this country in a new and positive direction.

Flem   March 1st, 2008 10:56 am ET

Oh PLEASE!!! Can't this woman have a single original thought? Obama did it, so now…SURPRISE…Hillary is going to do it as well (of her own accord, she'll be certain to remind you).

Guaranteed her "advisors" have told her to cry, because "victim-Hillary" is what won her New Hampshire. Sorry Shrillary; we americans have wised up since then, and are well aware of your "croc" tears.

Buh-Bye, Heinous Lady. On your way out, don't the the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

Ron   March 1st, 2008 10:56 am ET

This should prove interesting. It will depend on if Jon feels like just being humourous, or if he is in one of his tough question moods. If he is in the tough question mood, Hillary will wish she hadn't come on. As far as some of the other Hillary supporter statements I have been reading..1) Hillary is in this positon because her campaign was VERY POORLY ran. 2) Just because she is the FIRST women to be a serious candidate is NOT a good enough reason for her to be selected. 3) On the Iraq war vote..You all need to remember she admitted she didn't even read the FULL report before voting. Does that REALLY sound like someone that is going to be ready day one?? and 4) If you look at her campaign objectively you have to admit many of the tatics have been less than admirable. Instead of remaining focused on her own strengths, she has tried to blame other forces like the media for her plight. I really hope she doesn't win because she basically blew it!! She's a fighter all right, but isn't it more important to be a WINNER.

Phyllis/ PA   March 1st, 2008 10:57 am ET

How does one go from being a community organizer to candidate in such a short time? We will find out when it is too late.

The only reason that Obama has been doing so well is simple. After the Bush administration, people will vote for anyone. People have no interest in knowing anything about Obama. He constantly claims to show how he makes god "judgments". Guess this is why he maintained a long term , 19 year relationship, with Rezko. Good judgment is also why he held meetings with Wiliam Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers is the founder of the Weathermen and Dohrn was a member. (For those to young to know, the Weathermen were the most natorious and unrepentant violent figures of the sixties.)
Of all the churches that Obama choose, he selected one that is lead by Jeremiah Wright who admires Farrakhan. (Wow, great judgments!)
There are more examples but anyone who takes the time to look into any of these will learn much. Rezko goes to trial March 3. Unfortunately, elections are the next day. Not enough time to show the complete Obama/Rezko relationship. Most unfortunate.

Andy, New York, New York   March 1st, 2008 10:58 am ET

This piece extracted from the news item above is such an understatement: "The scheduled appearance comes a day before crucial primaries in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island, and Vermont where some pundits believe Clinton must do well in order to keep herself in the race for the Democratic nomination."

MUST DO WELL? What are the pundits' concept of WELL? Unless by WELL they mean beating Obama by 15 points in each of the four states on Tuesday, then Hillary will be saying FAREWELL!

How, do you, as a candidate with a 50-point lead a year ago, with the full backing of the nationwide DNC establishment, with the CLINTON name recognition, with 130 million dollars in campaign funds and with early backing of the majority of super delegates go to throwing the kitchen sink at a candidate whom you claim has no experience for the job that your 35 years experience qualifies you for?

If you cannot sustain your commanding lead by running a successful campaign, how can you be trusted to maintain America's lead as a superpower and run a successful national government?

Pardon me, ma'am, but your slip is showing and your halo is slipping.

Mark   March 1st, 2008 10:58 am ET

John -
Excellent job on the Oscar ceremony earlier this week. Do America a fvor by asking Mrs. Clinton once again to release her tax returns, and for her husband to release his White House papers.
We would be ill-served to learn of a Clinton "smoking gun" on Wednesday, March 5, following these all-important primaries.
If the phone does ring at 3:00 am, it conceivably could be the IRS also asking her to release the returns, or perhaps the Secret Service reporting Bill yet again "missing in action."

Great job,

Kabi   March 1st, 2008 10:58 am ET

BTW- I support Bloomberg..whosoever he endorses- I am voting for him/her

MikeinOhio   March 1st, 2008 10:59 am ET

Why don't you Hillary supporters realize that she has absolutely no chance whatsoever to defeat McCain in November because there are so many dems who will not vote for her. It is unbelievable that you cannot see how much the Clintons are despised in this country. Wake up, dems! Vote for Obama if you want a dem in the WH!

A Democrat   March 1st, 2008 10:59 am ET

We have to be united guys. Democrats need to stop killing each other before this nominee is chosen. I'll vote for either one, because both of them will make changes for good. But lets stop saying "Hillary is too desperate just to have power, or Obama is all words and no substance" because we all know that this is only going to change things for the worse. I'm a little offended about how much supporters have gone out of their way too try to destroy the other candidate. Either one will be a fine president. Lets focus on that.

Obama 08 or Hillary 08 I don't care

First off, to Paul Brown… I commend you on your comments and shame on you to the two you said shame on him. Let the man speak his mind. Secondly, I also am willing to bet that she cries while on this show. It's happened twice now and I'm sure she's thinking, with a national audience, that the third time will be the charm.

I'm going to be voting for Obama because I want a change in my government. If you look at their policies, they are basically the same. There are small differences, but this isn't about policies. This is about politics and how one goes about those politics. I'm voting for Obama because of how he will do things.

pd4hillary   March 1st, 2008 11:01 am ET

Actually, I thought her humor in the debates was right on!! But then again, I'm not brainwashed by Obama rhetoric that thinks it is blasphemy to critique him.

On the Iraq war vote, those senators thought they were being given inside information that the general public did not have. That information was skewed by the White House to present a very narrow picture. Obama as an outsider was no different than any of the rest of us. It was a guessing game as to whether they had weapons or not, posed a threat or not. He just happened to guess right, but it really was a 50/50 shot. Not a sound judgment call. Guarantee if he had been given the misinformation that senators like Hillary were being given, he would have voted the same way. Besides, I thought he was all about the future, not the past.

Check out his policies:
open for vounchers for public schools
not in favor of universal healthcare
open to letting "No Child Left Behind" stay in place, as is
While he and Hillary are on the same page on a lot of issues, her page since she was the first to come out with her policies and he just did "ditto," there are a few core issues they are not and these are Democratic issues. Beware of a Republican in Democrat clothing.

Enough of this craziness, Democrats in Texas and Ohio vote for Hillary to vote for true Democratic principles. Then, when she wins, we will hold her accountable to fulfill these promises. And, she will. It really is in her to do it!!!

Deborah   March 1st, 2008 11:01 am ET

Go home Hillary going on Jon Stewart is not going to change minds. You are not the right candidate for the Democrat Party. You try to have people believe you have experience. I realize that Barack does not have experience as President and neither do you. Give it a break and stop dividing the party. Democrats want OBAMA. Go home to New York and play your dirty politics. Evil Evil woman.

What ever it takes to get elected you are desperate!!!

Obama exemplifies a Presidential demeanor he is not catty desperate. He did not whine when he lost races
He did not FAKE a CRY He did not try to find someone else to blame when he lost races, He did not resort to gutter politics when he lost states in the primaries/caucuses. You are setting the clock back for women everywhere with your pitiful displays.

I am a former Bill Clinton supporter and I tell you I WOULD NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER VOTE FOR YOU . You are a FAKE and YOU ARE EVIL. YOU PLAY DIRTY AND IT is NOT GOING TO HELP YOU WIN . PEOPLE SEE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE (this is the reason you are not winning) You must now come to grips with the fact that we voted for Bill Clinton in 92 and in 96 NOT YOU. You are not going to ride his coattails into the Whitehouse. I do not care that you are a woman or that Barack is a Black man. I will vote for the best candidate and that candidate is OBAMA!
GO HOME AND WATCH AFTER Bill.

VOTE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan E   March 1st, 2008 11:01 am ET

It is really sad that there are so many people who are still fooled by Hillary's campaign, I wonder how people can allow their rational judgment to be suspended like this and not take the time to look at what Hillary done to create divisions and ill feelings in the country. Yes she is tested and the test results are in, she can create enemies quicker than any other politician, she is a fighter for sure, but only for her personal ambitions and power. She has proven over and over that she is not reliable and will go wherever the wind blows to score. Yes, Hillary thrives on conflicts and will succeed in creating new ones. A leader that can resolve conflicts, she is definitely not. Good luck to all !!

Why is the headling of this"Clinton to take on John Stewart"? That was the link leading into this article even though the title here is "Clinto to appear in the Daily Show". Nothing in the content explains why the contentious title.

Is it because John has been too quick to pick on Hillary but has left Obama mostly un-touched? I am sure there is as much unused material from the Obama campaign as he has presented against Hillary. I used to like John Stewart. He was my one person I would like to meet. He has thrown some deserved punches to Hillarry. But as of lately he has been blind to his own bias against her, and then mock Hillary for pointing it out.

no longer a democrat   March 1st, 2008 11:03 am ET

Hi,

I and my 5 family members changed our affiliations from Democrats to Independent yesterday. I am disgusted my the way the media has been sexist and potrayed everything as pro-Obama. The left extreme of the democratic party has taken over. Last night I saw that Quicny Jones and someone I REALLY admire Dr. Maya Angelou endorsed Hillary CLinton, YET NO ONE HAS ANYTHING positive to say about HILLARY CLINTON

The Obamabots think that all the Hillary supporters will vote for him this November should he be the nominee, well they should think again…..and I am not the only one.. c-span had 4 callers to say this as well…they will support mccain or nader or write in hillary

As for John Stewart, maybe he will have the guts to question Obama while Mrs. Clinton is on his show……….

I want to thank Senator Obama for sending Hillary packing. It's the greatest contribution he could make to the country.

Of course, I'm going to vote McCain come November.

rowland   March 1st, 2008 11:04 am ET

Experience is important but not everything. How much experience did Bill have before becoming President? The answer coming up after the break…………………………………..Welcome back….Bill Clinton had no experience. He was the govenor of Aransas….if that doesn't prepare you to run the most powerful country on the planet, I don't know what would!
Vote your conscience, vote for competence, stick to the issues people.

Bill Clinton circa 1992 himself said it best:

If one candidate wants you to vote on your fears, and one wants you to vote on your hopes, choose hope.

Trev   March 1st, 2008 11:04 am ET

I think it makes sense for her to go on the show. She needs to try and connect with younger voters. As for the timing, it makes sense to do it late because 18-30 year-olds make up their mind on who to vote for later.

BTW, it is fun to listen to the Obama supporters launch personal attacks on Hillary supporters. Great way to foster unity. Stick to talking about the candidates. I think Hillary supporters should do the same thing, but I find fewer examples of her supporters insulting Obama supporters. Speaking of sticking to the candidates, it is interesting that Obama responded to a "fear monger" ad with another "fear monger" ad. Doesn't sound like change to me.

Hillary 08 (without the hate)!

Laura   March 1st, 2008 11:05 am ET

I can't wait to see it. I miss nice HIllary, it will be nice to see her.

This campaign has not brought out her best qualities.
Whining about debate questions, beyond the grave Ann Richards endorsement, Michigan and Florida delegate votes, plagurism attacks, not able to control her emptions, she's all over the place.

Having just seen her new attack ad referring to the 3:00 am white house call, she has made it clear to me who I want in charge in a moment of crisis and It is not her.

Experience is useless if you don't learn from your mistakes, she has not learned anything except better campaign tricks via Rove.

Anonymous   March 1st, 2008 11:05 am ET

Regarding David's comments—You are right on. The best long term bet for the Democrats is a Hillary/Obama ticket. I strongly believe that McCain will easily win if Obama is the nominee. Counter to what Obama believes, Obama supporters would be more likely to support Hillary and it is unlkely that the majority of Hillary supporters would turn to Obama. In general, Obama has more than 90% of the African American vote and democrats leaning toward the left of the party. This block will never vote for a republican; however, Hillary's more moderate supporters would definitely find McCain's more moderate positions perfectly acceptable.
The Democrats should push for THE SIXTEEN YEAR PLAN! Hillary could lead us in the right direction for the next eight years, followed by a then seasoned Vice President Obama taking the presidency for the next eight years. At that time, Obama would be a very young 52 years old. Democrats should be working together for the long term benefit of the party. It would be great for them to come to this conclusion very soon and trample John McCain.

Mickey in Oregon   March 1st, 2008 11:06 am ET

All I have seen so far in this campaign is that Obama is a good speaker, but I don't hear any ideas from him on what his stance is. He keeps harping on how he didn't vote for the Iraq war. But he doesn't mention he voted for the surge. He has talked about health care but essentially he has taken Clintons platform and twisted it around to sound like it was his idea all along. Doesn't he have anything else to speak about.

He has no agenda for foreign policy, economy, jobs, family, or inflation. He hasn't interacted with any foreign leaders and he hasn't convinced me on how he can make a change.

I think Clinton should have been more aggressive in their debates. But I think she was afraid that people would portray her as "picking on poor Obama."

Independent Voter, TN   March 1st, 2008 11:07 am ET

I have a sense that McCain and the Republicans are just licking their lips waiting to see who the nominee is.

I think a moderate is going to appeal to the majority of Americans because of all the partisan BS that's been going on for the past 30 years. George Bush ran as a moderate, but unfortunately he fooled us all. Hillary has too much baggage and Obama seems to be nothing more than an empty suit who (it should be noted) was really going nowhere until Oprah endorsed him.

McCain is the only horse in the race who has proven to be bi-partisan in his dealings in Washington and has a record of accomplishment to run on.

I'll probably vote for the grownup.

Eight years is a long time but don't we all remember George Bush's first speech after becoming the president elect. Hope, unification, ending of bipartisanship etc were his words. If you need to refresh your memory, you can see it again on youtube. We all know what happened. He has become one of hte most devisive president in the history of this nation.

Saying is absolutely not the same as achieving. Americans should not make emotional decisions based on moving speeches.

Ron   March 1st, 2008 11:08 am ET

One other thing. Everyone is now trying to say Obama will not be able to survive the BIG BAD REPUBLICAN ATTACK!! Frankly a lot of you sound like cowards hiding from the playground bully!! I believe, not only will he handle it, if they get out of hand he is smart enough and calm enough to use it against them. You all seem to forget, you've got to be pretty smart to take on the Clintons and win!!!

Jenny   March 1st, 2008 11:08 am ET

What is wrong with Clinton supporters? We are all Americans, and we can vote for whomever we choose. All I hear are comments from Clinton supporters saying Obama supporters are somehow delusional or stupid. Is this how you and your candidate are supposed to unite the country?

I respect people that want to vote for Hillary. But I don't agree with them. Yes, she has SOME experience. But she's corrupt. She got bought out in the 90s when she tried to get us health care the first time. She's lucky Obama is enough of a politician to not pull out the vast amount of skeletons in her closet.

She has run a bad campaign. She won't release her tax returns. Everything is about her. She has done whatever she can to try to tear apart this party and scare them into voting for her.

STOP TRYING TO BELITTLE OBAMA SUPPORTERS. It makes you look worse than you can imagine. There's nothing wrong with us. We're intelligent people who have done our research and WE CHOOSE OBAMA. If it makes you feel better, then fine, go right ahead. Hillary has no problem denouncing anyone who doesn't support her.

OBAMA 08

To ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS   March 1st, 2008 11:09 am ET

And noone knows about Obama's chief financial aid being apart of a bank who ruined peoples lives by giving low income people loans with hidden fee's and high interest rates, knowing they couldn't pay. This has been documented.
And noone knows about Obama's ties with special interest groups, Lobbyists and PAC's. During his 2007/2008 Presidential campaign, he has taken money from medical/pharmasutical groups, and then lies straight to our faces saying he hasn't.
Obama criticized Edwards for receiving money from Unions backing him before Iowa, but now that a major Union has spent over $1m campaigning for Obama in Texas and Ohio, it's suddently ok.
And noone knows that Michelle Obama has visited a very rural poor community and told them to become school teachers and nurses because the corporate world just isn't for them.

*sighs* cmon CNN. This will prbly not get posted because it brings out horrible truths about Obama.

Obama only has momentum because these supposed college educated kids and near sighted adults only see the sparkly glitter in front of the camera, and not the solutions behind it.

Jericho   March 1st, 2008 11:09 am ET

You would think that if Hillary was so smart, that she would learn, from EXPERIENCE, that her husband is a unfaithful, rapist, and womanizer. But she knows without him, she can't become president.

She didn't run for president 4 years ago because Karl Rove would have stop at nothing to destroy her. This year, no Karl Rove, no Bush. Only her good buddy McCain - who will play nice with her.

Hillery Clinton's resume, In a Nutshell.

I married a man who became a State Governor, and then the President of the USA.

Everything that he did that worked, was because of my help.

Everything that failed, was because I had nothing to do with them.

When you marry the right person, you get to jump to the head of the line, instead of having to work your way to the top, on your own merits, while all the while screaming Experience, Experience, Experience.

Eli, Bay Area CA   March 1st, 2008 11:10 am ET

Here's the bottom line of the General Election. Clinton supporters, YOU should READ this

Isn't TWENTY EIGHT (28) years of Bush I, Clinton I, then Bush I I ENOUGH????????????????

Frank   March 1st, 2008 11:11 am ET

I CAN NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF HILLARY IS MISSING THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN THE PEOPLES HOUSE WAS AVAILABLE FOR RENT?

PERHAPS HILLARY HAS A NEED LIKE BILLY BOY TO BE ABLE TO PARDON ONE OR TWO POLITICAL CRIMINALS THAT THE CLINTONS HAVE BENEFITED FROM?

I NOT THINK THAT THIS COUNTRY CAN GO BACK TO TIME IN OUR HISTORY, HILLARY & BILLY BOY ARE THE PAST.

OBAMA REPRESENTS A UNITED COUNTRY OF WE THE PEOPLE.

Mary Smairat   March 1st, 2008 11:12 am ET

This is another "play" on the American people, apparently people in politics undermine the intelligence that we posses. I refuse to believe that Lewis had a change of heart and jumped over into the obama campaign because he truly believed it was the right thing to do… THIS IS POLITICS MY FRIENDS! Unfortunaltely the American people are not taking the time to peel back the outer layer of propoganda that the media is presenting. It is a shame that in today's world, we are letting the media companies control and determine what information in important for us to see. I refuse to believe that this country is that corrupt… the only hope that I have left is in Hillary Clinton. She just might be the last patriotic American left in this country. If this were a job interview… I hope those obama supporters are ok with not getting the job of their dreams because of dirty politics… if this were the "real world", the person with the most experience and credibility would get the job based on merit. For those of you who are working… this should make perfect sense to you.. for those who dont see it this way… well when you dont get success in life you will feel the injustice.

obma is not who he says he is, nor does he have the merit to be given this position. There is alot of information that we are not seeing… doesnt that trouble you? For example, if someone were to tell a rumor about you and you were hurt by it, yet there was NO way for anyone to see the truth, wouldnt that be upsetting to you? Wouldnt that be injustice to you? Look at it that way… when we see the Hillary bashing continue… dont you stop and think that there is somthing sketchy about how THE MEDIA IS PORTRAYING OBAMA LIKE THE NEWEST CELEBRITY IN TOWN!". I love rap music… but I do not want a president who listens to Jay-Z "I got 99 problems but a bi*ch aint one" (he played this song when he came out for a speech). Do you want a president with his own sneaker out (he has a new air force one on the market).

Unfortunately, if Hillary Clinton is not the candidate for president I WILL NOT VOTE IN NOVEMBER… this does not make me less of a democrat (as if that matters… hello we live in a FREE country). I refuse to buy into the propoganda and dirty politics of the Republican party. See, they must be really nervous about the country's sentiment with the Republicans productivity with the Bush administration. What better to put all of their energy and money into obama… at the worst they would have either mc cain or another puppet in office.. obama. There is alot of sketchy business going on.. too bad the media wont play fair.

maxine   March 1st, 2008 11:12 am ET

Don't tell me Hillary isn't getting media attention. CNN has had more articles about her than any another. Also, Tanya in Chicago is posted on every Hillary article today. How much power do the Clintons really have; can't talk about Chelse, can't talk about Hillary's voting history, can't talk about the Clinton past–Google Clinton Convicts, can't talk about NAFTA and above all we can't press Hillary for her tax records and her WH records…..HMMMM Media doesn't like Hillary doesn't make a case for me..Fox news loves her, they are constantly defending her over Obama….so people chill. Hill and Bill will get into the WH again….and nothing will change…she doesn't play well with others. :) Live and learn.

Bob   March 1st, 2008 11:12 am ET

She is someone who use the country for their political gains…..

Say no to Clinton dynasty……

Laylah   March 1st, 2008 11:12 am ET

I hate to use the right -or left- wing conspiracy theory, but what is Jon Stewart doing by having his personal choice of presidential candidate on his show 8 hours before the polls open? Besides ratings, that is. There will be more to this encounter than meets the eye, beyond just crying. Billary is looking for an election day headline. She loves to create controversial news coverage.
Does this mean that now Oprah will have Obama live on her show on Monday, too. Beware, Billary, her ratings are a lot higher than Jon Stewart's, with a largely 30-70 year old, female audience.

Leah   March 1st, 2008 11:14 am ET

can't wait to see you, hillary.
hillary 08!

decider1136   March 1st, 2008 11:14 am ET

I agree that the last video was poor. It was not a good choice, but remember that a candidate's campaign is run by a lot of people, not just the candidate. It could be easy to view that thing and not really realize at that moment that the video wasnt the right message. Still that shouldnt overshadow the whole campaign.

usa, maryland   March 1st, 2008 11:14 am ET

1-Talking about Hillary: 35yrs of experience; how does this benefit the country when those experiences can not give her the basic wisdom she needs to make sound judgements and run the country. talking about being ready day one; how about getting it right day one? All these yrs should have sharpened the sense of judgement and helped make sound decisions. Got to be realistic here. 35yrs, great but it all sounds like a bragging thing that only "benefits" one person, not the country. sound judgement is the measure; and it appears Obama has it despite his relatively short life in politics. you are right, no room for trial and error and that's why you should vote for Obama.`

Jess   March 1st, 2008 11:15 am ET

I'm hesitant to support a leader whose followers are so hateful. When you hate someone so much, and idolize another so obsessively, it usually means you are lacking strength and confidence within yourself. I am looking forward to Hillary in 08.

kate   March 1st, 2008 11:15 am ET

Sorry, but if that phone does ring at 3 a.m. and the country is in trouble, I want Hillary there. There is not enough time for Obama to site and chat with foreign leaders as he wants to do. Obama has great ideas but in reality, he cannot carry them out. Not enough experioence from Obama for me to put in in the Oval Office.

from Boston   March 1st, 2008 11:15 am ET

Obama was not in Congress at the time so he should stop pretending that he actually had a vote about the war.

PAUL   March 1st, 2008 11:15 am ET

HEY JON STEWART,

ASK HILLARY IF SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH OBAMA PAID FOR A "THE BEST POLITICAL TEAM ON TV" AND A SITUATION ROOM. THAT IS WHERE SHE SHOULD HAVE SPENT HER MONEY. BECAUSE THESE 2 BUYS HAVE HELPED HIM TREMENDOUSLY.

dave   March 1st, 2008 11:17 am ET

obama,08,o hell
hillary 08 o really

Judy   March 1st, 2008 11:17 am ET

Hillary is the most qualified to run for the President of the United States. But, because she is a woman, she must be tougher and then she must be softer, and then she must be prettier, etc. When will we ever elect a woman president, if not now.
Think about it. If Senator Obama, with the same resume, wit and charm were a woman, would we listen???

pd4hillary   March 1st, 2008 11:18 am ET

Anonymous and Dave are absolutely right!! Obama supporters if you really want to see him become President, push for VP now and President in 8 years. Clinton supporters are more centrist and will slide to the moderate candidate that the Republicans are putting forward. The Rep will beat Dems in Nov because the Dems, despite all the false and hyped rhetoric about Obama's draw of independents, Obama's predominant support is from the left in the party. In other words, Dems are fielding a less centrist candidate. McCain will pick up the middle 5-10% and that is all that is needed. Plus, you have to look at the states that are swing states, Ohio, Florida, Penn, so on, Obama will not be as competitive there as Clinton, just look at the matchups. Throw into the fact that Florida has been completely disenfranchised by the Dems, especially if Obama is given the nomination without Floridians having a say, the Nov election is already lost. The idea that winning in a Republican state during a Dem primary translates into a Nov win, does not hold water. Look at the swing states!!

Juanita   March 1st, 2008 11:18 am ET

We're agreed, it's "Jon Stewart" not "John Stuart". I haven't seen the "John Stuart Show" but I thoroughly enjoy the "Jon Stewart Show". I'd really like her to appear on the Colbert Nation. That would be fun.

Charlotte   March 1st, 2008 11:19 am ET

I quit watching Oprah way back, when became so black. A school in Africa when schools in Chicago needed and still need people like her. Oh wait she said, American kids are spoiled brats.

Randy   March 1st, 2008 11:22 am ET

Well it looks like to me all you Clinton haters are coming out of the wood work but I don't think anybody heard a peep out of you losers when Bill was in office and everybody had a job and was eating good and living the good life, just hope if the muslin Obama gets in which I don't think he will he might not make the four years, so keep on hating the Clinton's it's good to get it off your chest and don't waste your vote on Obama

dee   March 1st, 2008 11:23 am ET

It is so easy to be INDEPENDENT…choose the best of 3…and I chose OBAMA….

Mark   March 1st, 2008 11:23 am ET

I am so sick and tired of hearing the same old "experience" mantra. What matters is judgement and character. Hillary loses on both accounts. She has blatantly participated in say-anything-to-win tactics. She is too power-hungry to see what's good for this country. 35 years of change?? What did she do at the age of 25 that *really* made a difference for this country?

lame.

Barack and Roll, baby!

Janet   March 1st, 2008 11:24 am ET

This is a very bad idea for her. Unless she has pre-screened all of the questions, she will fail miserably. She has a terrible personality and lies through her teeth. She lies so much that she can not keep up with her lies. Well if she lies in her upcoming trial in California, that is perjury and she will go to jail this time.

Don Fitzgerald, Chicago   March 1st, 2008 11:24 am ET

I have been a life long Democrat and it pains me to see Senator Clinton adopting a page out of the Republican
