Jim,

It's good that you actually looked at the records of the candidates. That is how decisions on our votes should be made...not on our emotions.

For all the Hillary hating Obama lovers look at the record. When Obama had a chance to do the right think (not just giving nice speeches) he sided with the Bush-Cheny and the special interests. He voted for the Bush-Cheney Energy Act of 2005. Hillary voted no! She stood up against Bush-Cheney and the special intersts. Obama talks and Hillary acts. What's up with that?? Go Hillary!!

More shall be revealed with Barack. People pleaser. what in the world was he thinking discussing NAFTA with the Canadian govt behind our backs. He should just told us what he was thinking or doing. Instead, he tried to cover it up. I hope the word got out in OHIO. More shall be revealed............

I have been reading the entries in this discussion and could find everything rather confusing if I didn't see the futalness of it all. It really doesn't matter who is elected . . . he or she will not be able to accomplish a thing unless they can get a better Congress to work with.
I find it laughable that Sen. Obama talks about being all knowing when it came to the Iraq War. He didn't have a vote in all that so how can he be so high and mighty about it. I, too, was against it from the gitgo so I guess I'm at least as smart as Obama. I imagine there are a lot of people in the US that can claim the same thing.

If you back Obama then please enlighten me on his credentials because I just don't see anything that qualifies him to be president, he's been a Senator for 2 yrs and how much time has he spent in that office doing his job????? he's been on the road running for president that entire time.

It is not because we are against Obama that Hillary's supporters may not vote for him if he is the nominee – it is the bad way in which the men of the party in high places started calling for her to drop out on Sunday – that is absolutely the most undemocratic thing I have ever heard. In other words, we do not need to hear from the rest of America on who they want to be the nominee just who got the most first. We women are sorely disappointed in our party.

Someone from Michigan said Michigan's for Hillary.
Michigan's for Hillary – NOT!!!
Obama rules! He has all the qualities that we need as a leader. I would love to see a woman as president – just not Hillary. I WILL vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is.

To deena

Apparently u are saying that hillary is the best but the only things you have to say about her is that shes a "advanced thinker and doer". Yet you say that barrack has great crudentials but does not have enough experience because he's only been in the senate for 2 years. I would like to inform you that being a senator is not the onlything that counts. if you would do your research you would clearly see that he has done plenty of things to help this country. He is the man that did not take a 6 figure job as a lawyer after graduating harvard but he went to small towns where he helped the people and cities. From what i hear you saying it sounds like you are only voting for hillary because she is a woman. please do reply......

Yes, and hopefully that should favor Clinton who wants to get started fixing the economy right away. If they are restless, they will want to vote in someone on only the merit of his speech writers. They know Hillary has a plan and will get started with it right away, where as Obama's economic plan is lifted straight from hers, but without knowing exactly how to execute it.

My son and I placed our Ohio votes for OBAMA this morning. 40 people I worked with for nearly 10 years lost their jobs last thursday when our "Fortune 500" top listed company" call center was closed and moved to India. More Ohio jobs lost to the Clinton NAFTA legacy.

For everyone that says they will vote Republican if Obama gets the nomination, there are at least as many that say they will vote Republican should Hillary win the nomination (just look at the vote totals in the primaries).

Also, remember that the Evangelical base will come out in full force to prevent an adulterer from getting back into the White House (even it is only the First Gentleman/First Husband).

Hillary is a lightning rod for conservative anger – if she is on the ballot, it will only encourage the Republicans to come out in full force – if Obama is the nominee, it will be much harder to convince the right to throw their full support behind a relative moderate like McCain.

VT down and three more to go, then she can go south of Texas and keep on walkin. Lies don't work. CNN could not help her as they tried. Rush was no help in the end.
The White House is Obamas and Obama is for the people and the people are speaking.

From LA, Go Hillary!!! She is by far the most advanced thinker and doer and with the most experience. Barack has awesome credentials and background but not enough experience and we can't afford another inexperienced presidents. And young professional people are for Hillary too, including my 28 year old senior Yahoo editor daughter and one of her best friends, Lena, architect. Lena is in Austin doing what she can to help Hillary!!

According to ABC polling, in Ohio and TX, "Change" tops "Experience." by a 20 and 15 points, respectively thought previously at 31points in the previous states. If this is true, I'd predict an early Obama sweep or majority wins.

No disrespect to Mrs. Clinton, but.......... Don't waste your vote on someone that even the polls say cannot win in Nov. Our children deserve not just a change of gender, but a change in the way things are done in Washington. That is the REAL change! The Clintons bring nothing but negative baggage and a return to the "politics as usual" that they have both become so well known for over the years. This is our chance....

With only a little more than a 100 delagates behind, how can anyone think Hillary should get out. I'll take my chances on her for President as the other two are flawed. One to young and inexperienced and the other to old and wants to stay in Iraq plus he could fall ill before he got a chance to put his hand on the Bible.

I'm voting for Clinton, I don't like the thought of staying in the war for another decade which is what we will have with McCain and poor Huckabey doesn't have a chance and after watching Obama standing with his hands to his side while our national anthem was playing I feel there is no possible way I could vote for him so that leaves me with Hillary Clinton.

Texas and Ohio you should be ashamed of yourselves, Hilary has done a lot for you all, and it is a shame that she has to convence you all to vote for her. Instead you rather vote for someone who name is Berack Hussaine Obama, I hope you know what you're doing.

By: Oren Ovadia, California

Oren Ovadia, California — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 23:59:14 +0000

I don't think Texas and Ohio are different in their views from other States. When Texas or Ohio hurts, we at California hurt. Now the million dollar question is- Who we believe can make the economy better???? Is it Hillary, MCcain, or Obama ???? I personally think we are better off with the Clintons in the White House.

So are you saying we should have sent our troops to Rwanda or relied on the UN to interfere and do something? Do you believe we are the official police force of the world?

I do consider that a tragedy...truly a tragedy... but I do not believe it is our personal responsibility to mediate every fracas in the world alone.

If Ohio votes for Hillary after losing jobs to NAFTA, then they're a bunch of dummies and deserve her as President. She will more than likely lose Ohio more jobs as president.

OK – let's cut to the chase. You don't think Hillary will ask Bill about the economy? You don't think that she just might get outstanding counsel from Bill at 3 AM?

It's the ECONOMY STUPID!! Surely Hillary has learned something from Bill about the economy – which was probably the best we've had in the last 100 years.

Yes they do. They never look back. Just like when Hillary
left states she lost in and never thanked them. Clintons
Rule. Get what you can and never look back. Poor people
in Ohio trudging thru the ice and snow to vote for her.
If she loses she is OUT of THERE. And straight to the
next race and never tells the audience she just lost.

To vote Mccain in would be like giving Bush another four years in office! To vote Obama in he would'nt know how to react to questions without Hillary answering them first! We need someone to fix the last eight years of Bush's administration,and that person needs to have some experience. Obama is too inexperienced and young. This is serious business so I hoope you Americans open up your eyes and vote properly! Hillary is the most experienced and smartest nominee!

Why do Clinton supporters keep saying Hillary is fighting for the human rights of all people and keep criticizing China on the issue. This issue only comes to her lap when its time to play politics! Bill used the same issue in his 1992 campaign; However after the 1992 election victory Bill Clinton sat with his arms crossed wile 1,000,000 black citizens in Rwanda were slaughtered with machetes over 3 month period. The Rwanda population pleaded with Bill to help them in their plight! Clintons use minorities like blacks and Hispanics in time of elections but after elections are over they forget their promises.
