When McCain says he will create funds to retrain people for new jobs, does this include relocation funds to relocate out of the country since there are few jobs here?

Why is it too close to call for OHIO when in Vermont there is a 20 point difference and in OHIO it is a 22 point difference! This race would have already been called if it were Obama was 60 and Clinton 38!!! Come on media folks – you really want Obama to win bad. That is so odd!

Sandra you got it right. But if they can not have McCain then they will take their second choice, Hillary Clinto. The Canadian Government, both the Conservatives and the Liberals and the Canadian public have been in love with the Clintons. That is why former President Bill Clinton was up in Canada on a speaking tour last year. No other former US President could draw the crowds he did.

I am disappointed in US voters because I view a vote for Hillary to be a vote for same old, same old politics in Washington. The Americans say that they want change in how things are done in Washington and then go and vote for someone who won't change Washington. She and her husband and their friends have too much invested in the way Washington is run. They owe too much to lobbyists and special interest groups. If she wins the nomination she will represent the women and the Latino's. They are the ones that are voting for her. She keeps pointing to the good years under President Bill Clinton. It was better than now but that wasn't all his doing. Congress and the Senate and the world had a lot to do with it too. The western world was better off then than it is now. Even in Canada it was better then than it is now. Alot of it had to do with what was happening around the world.

It is like a fire war. Everyone is pointing poisonous fingers at Obama who is actually a uniter. Republicans are voting for Clinton because they are scared of Obama. Democrates, stop being fooled for a weaker vessel. Otherwise, mcCain will end up being a president.

I believe Obamas economic financial advisor was a set up by the Canadians. They invite him over for a tour and baited him.... and the dummy bit!

Just heard, that in Vermont Obama won among the college graduates. My son is going to graduate from college this summer. When I asked him who is he going to vote for, he said Ron Paul. But he changed his mind very quick, when I said that Ron Paul will be irrelevant by November. Of course, he said that his second choice is Obama. I asked my very well doing in the college son, what does he like about Obama and was killed by the answer :" He is a very good public speaker". I already had a suspicion, why most educated people vote for Obama and this is why: Great public speaker. What about substance? God, help America!!

I always wanted to vote for a woman to become our leader, it would be a CHANGE. But not Hillary, as James previously pointed out
"Our ancestor left that family control centuries ago……."
That left me no choice but a true CHANGE.

All races should unite behind OBAMA diversity....

CLINTON LEADING IN OHIO. CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE RESPONSE

By: Bruce

Bruce — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:59:09 +0000

Go Hillary,

Now, now let’s get back to the facts and out of the self produced celebration. Sen. Clinton was ahead of Sen. Obama by 20% plus in both Ohio and Texas. Therefore, if Obama loses by less than 20% with all that has happened this week, he should feel good about the results. If the loss is more than 20% then it’s a good night for Hillary. Remember, she was supposed to win these states, just as he was supposed to win Vermont.

If CNN exit polls in Ohio are accurate....looks like Sen. Clinton wins 52-48. It's a win, but watch the delegates split even.

Go HIllary!!!

I am worried about the reports of voter intimidation at the polls today, and about the Obama supporters in Texas who are having people fill out caucus ballots as they vote in the primary, and then are taking them to the caucus sites! This is illegal! Several Texans have had their Hillary signs ripped off their lawns and their yards vandalized early in the morning hours. This is so disappointing.

As a Canadian, I think the Canadian Gov. set Obama up. The party is mostly made up of neocons who would like nothing better than to see McBomb win. They think Obama will win. I wouldn't take what our Canadian representive says took place in the meeting unless he has it on tape. They are already in s t street here in Canada due to trying to bribe a politian who was ill with cancer and has since died.
They are now trying to dance the two step trying to get out of it.
I would rather believe Obama's version.

War achine? Mud flying? Wow Aaron, you clearly have not followed politics in the past - and you CLEARLY have not been watching this process in this election year. The two democratic party candidates have discussed the issues at length and it is all out there. If you have a personal preference between the two, then that is excellent, but to call either Obama or Clinton out for negative campaigning??? Man, you simply have no clue and are more out of touch than the Bush administration and the Republican party as a whole.

I truly believe Obama might bring all of us together. One point the media failed to drive home is Obama is not a black man but a racially mixed man. Her mother is of the white race, and I believe her mother raised him to be fair and he's also partially white.

Wow, Hillary keeps speaking of her plans for health care and her economic plans......I wonder how much of it she had Bill Clinton do?
Why isnt she transparent with her taxes.....The Clintons are always hiding something or misleding somethingelse......
Wake Up American......We need real change.....We cant have another term of the some old crap.....Bush tricked us twice.....
We had Clintons and Bushes in the White house for so long...I am wondering is this America or England.......Our ancestor left that family control centuries ago.......

Hey Aaron, as Barack himself said, "no ones hands are clean." His certainly aren't clean, not with the repeated fraudulent flyers going around that Hillary had already disproved and that Factcheck.org had also pointed out. If this race were just about issues, just the faqs and issues, Hillary would be winning hands down, since all of her plans on the economy, healthcare, nafta changes, border control, etc., were presented months before the pirate we know as Barack Obama.

By: james

james — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:27:46 +0000

How can Hillary say she broke Obama's momentum if she only wins Ohio or Texas by single digit margins when she was up 20 points earlier.......It would be amazing that he held her to a single digit win ,if he doesn't take one or both,considering her long history in these states.

Hillary's wins of the BIG states can be explained in simple terms:

"Superstar, Name Recognition!"
It is like the Superdelegates who made the commitment before the peoples' votes were in!!

Hillary and her supporters do not have to worry, Obama will easily win these BIG states in the general election.

As you can see, the Superdelegates, like the BIG states, will soon wake up!!

By: Chris Custer

Chris Custer — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:25:27 +0000

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.

A recession is defined by two quarters of negative growth. As far as I know, we have not had one quarter of negative growth.

But still, our economy is in bad shape.

We don't need anymore Old Washington tricks, they have not worked in the past.

We need someone new with new ideas.

We need Obama!!
