Shame on you Obama supporters. What happened to the high ground you all claimed was your territory. This blog reads like u have morfed into a bunch of schoolyard name callers yourselves.

Hillary and her supporters are beginning to look better and better just by behaving like adults rather than tantruming brats. Stop the hatred!

This is just the kind of nasty tone that pushes independents like me to finnally stand up and vote for Hillary for President!!!

SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF OBAMAS STAFF ARE LIKE HIM.. INEXPERIENCED TO RUN THIS COUNTRY. HOW COME OBAMA SAYS HE'S AGAINST THE WAR IN IRAQ, BUT VOTES THE SAME AS HILLARY TO FUND T HE TROOPS.. EITHER HE IS FOR THE WAR OR AGAINST IT. SOUNDS LIKE MORE POLITICAL SPIN TO ME...GO HILLARY

Howard Wolfson is running around loose while Barack Obama’s top Adviser resigned due to a misstatement. Wolfson is no better as he accused Senator Barack Obama’s actions as that of Ken Starr’s. Why they wanna go there we don’t know but it looks like it’s a politically motivated attempt to play the victim card as that was Hillary’s role in the Lewinsky-Bill Clinton era. Howard Wolfson should resign! His misstatements about Senator Obama are intolerable. Justice delayed, is justice denied!

Actually, what Power said about Iraq is consistent with what Obama has said, as well as what Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have said, in past debates.

This is somewhat of a non-issue, considering that Clinton herself has made similar Iraq comments.

Federal archivists at the Clinton Presidential Library are blocking the release of hundreds of pages of White House papers on pardons that the former president approved, including clemency for fugitive commodities trader Marc Rich.
The archivists' decision, based on guidance provided by Bill Clinton that restricts the disclosure of advice he received from aides, prevents public scrutiny of documents that would shed light on how he decided which pardons to approve from among hundreds of requests.

Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, told reporters in a conference call in which he specifically cited the slow release records from the Clinton library. "If she's not willing to be open with (voters) on these issues now, why would she be open as president?"

I still don't understand the whole uproar over Powers' statement which referred to Hillary as a "monster".

If we look up the definition of monster, here are a couple of definitions:
1. any creature so ugly or monstrous as to frighten people
2. a person who excites horror by wickedness, cruelty, etc.
3. a cruel wicked and inhuman person

Looks to me like Powers was just calling a spade a spade!

Hillary is definitely a hard core, old school Polititian playing dirty and stooping to any level to win. I do hope the rest of America do NOT get carried away with all the negative campaigning that Clinton is stooping too, like the people of Ohio & Texas did! I heard someone saying that "good guys finish last". Please please let me that is NOT true. Obama may not be perfect but he id DEFINITELY a true gentleman and we should give him a chance to try and bring in change in the way politics in handled in the US... I know is it very impolite to call someone "monster" but what do we call a person who is cunning, plays dirty, cheats, using disgusting tactics to win. I believe a person should come up in life by showing his true potential (on merit) or what he / she is capable of and NOT by putting the competitor down.

Since I actually paid attention to all the debates that Hillary demanded, I know that he has "always" said he will be just as careful coming out as Bush was "careless" going in. Which means he will "listen" to the millitary people about how to make this happen. I would hate to think that he thought he could do this "without" getting information from the military. Maybe this is why the media keeps calling Hillary supporters "uneducated"

I remember when the press was saying that Hillary had gone to far with her nagative attacks on Obama, and then came super Tuesday 2. Now everone is staying he should attack back. This is why in the end he will win! Taking the hi road is on best from him it will make her look silly.

Chris you are absolutely right about the number of voters in this country that are intellectually lazy. I just had a conversation with a co-worker who expressed her admiration for Sen Obama but is doubtful of supporting him because he is a closet muslim and doesnt even say the pledge of allegiance (with his hand on his heart)!!

DO THE MATHS "UNEDUCATED" BILLARY VOTERS!

BILLARY CAN TWIST AND SPIN AND LIE AND BE A MONSTER ALL SHE WANTS, BUT THE MATHS IS AGAINST BILLARY!

EVEN IF BILLARY WINS THE REMAINING 11 CONTEST BY 20% (WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN THIS LIFETIME), OBAMA WILL STILL BE LEADING WITH THE MOST PLEDGED DELEGATE AND ONLY NEED 100 SUPERDELEGATE TO CLINCH THE NOMINATION!

SO THIS GAME IS OVER BILLARY. CUSS AND SPIN ALL YOU WANT; YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A MONSTER!!!!

VOTE OBAMA – THE RIGHT CHOICE, THE UNITER!!!!

For all Obama's supporters, did you all forget how John Kerry lost presidential election four years ago? – Flop Flip

It is so stupid to ask Clinton's tax return since it is not even April 15. I am more interested in learing:

What's Obama's tax return with Ruzko's contribution?
How much did he pay for the land/property bought from Ruzko?
What is his real Iraq plan?
What is his real NAFT plan?

4) has NO EXPERIENCE
5) is ALL TALK
6) plays the RACE CARD
7) is a WHINIER
speaks of change .. but changes his stances faster than a CHAMELEON
9) is DIVISIVE
10) and finally a FRAUD

since CNN has started working for the Clintons Im sure this wont get posted but I will say it anyway

Why isnt Clintons lies in NAFTA-gate being given more coverage? She blatantly sabotaged and manipulated the Ohio and Texas voters (sorry Ohio, you guys were duped). This woman will do anything to win. I guess she won't care about my opinion b/c I dont live in California, NY or any of what she refers to as the "important" states. I have been a voting democrat for over 20 years. As a 47 year old white woman, I should be voting for HIllary according to your lopsided media demographic polls. But Im not. If Hillary is on the ticket I will be voting for McCain.
Shame on YOU HRC!

Here's the best case scenario: Clinton wins the Democratic nomination!! ALL of the Obama supporters either DO NOT vote in the fall, or VOTE FO MCCAIN, or VOTE FOR NADER!! Or, perhaps write his name into the ballot!! END RESULT: McCain WINS!! POOR BILLARY!! The only phone you will here at 3:00 in the morning will be that of Bill calling you to pick him up at the latest "hitching post"!!!!!
At this point the Democratic Party has been completely destroyed!!

Why is it that every insignificant thing that Hillary chooses to "pounce" on, becomes a significant news story? We hear plenty about Rezko, but why aren't we seeing anything in the Ticker about Bill Clinton's ties (and huge monetary gains) from a failing Chinese internet company, founded by a FELON? Perhaps because there's really no favorable light in which to spin that?

By: Jules

Obama's position has always been extremely clear on this- that he will be as careful getting out as Bush and McCain and yes, Clinton, were careless getting in. He will begin redeployment exactly as he outlines specifically in his plan, but if circumstances change drastically, that plan will may have to be altered Essentially, he will use the good judgement he displayed in opposing the war, even when it was unpopular and could have cost him his senate bid, and his number one prioroty will be to get us out of that disaster as it has always been. Remember who drove that bus into the ditch. Hillary was right there with her pedal to the metal. This is one area she has no standing or credibility on whatsoever. She did not even bother to read the intel report. I never thought I'd say this because my plan has always been to vote democratic no matter who is on the ticket, but her unscrupulous behavior of late has made it impossible for me to support her. Dems may well lose in November, and she will go down in history as the worst thing to happen to American government since GWBush.

I applaud Barack for his integrity in trying to run a clean race... but maaaaaaaan, if Hillary had been going up against somebody willing to stoop as low as she does, she would be buried in so much mud it would be called a swamp!

Anybody catching the news about Bill Clinton getting a $700,000 kickback on some shady investments? Could this be why they don't want to release those 2006 tax returns? Granted I'll give you that Clinton is like the average American waiting to file the 2007 at the last minute but um... surely 2000-2006 has been filed already.

Yes, I do want to know where she is getting her money from because I don't want a politician in office, especially running our country, willing to sell to the highest shady bidder!

As a lifelong Democrat I support Obama. We need fresh ideas, fresh views and fresh perspective. We also need someone who has values, character and integrity. Clinton is a hypocrite, a liar, and has proven that she will do and say anything to get back into the White House. Be careful what you wish for Hillary. If she wins, I will not vote in that race.

Why isnt CNN and true Hillary Democrats demanding that Wolfson step down from the Clinton campaign for calling Obama "Ken Starr".

Now there's a story CNN since you seem to have run out of them....
Oh and nice how you stopped reporting on the mysterious halt in the Texas caucus count. Interesting.

Is this going to be like New Mexico, when the Clinton official took home three boxes of ballots then returned with them the next day to have them counted?

Of course CNN didnt have time to report that but the New Mexico news did. This Independent is going back to watching FOX NEWS. CNN has seriously dropped downhill!

Talk about hypocrites. This is clearly one camp vs. the other. Nobody is right people. Obama and Clinton are each to blame, wait, it's their campaign that is to blame for digging this stuff up. Both are playing hard-ball, and just because she's a woman does not make her a monster. The Obama supporters now complain when anything negative comes out about him, but sure, we don't call him catty and a whiner. Yet, for the past several months, most of the media was down on Hillary (yes, it's true - there are stats on this one), but of course that's okay. Where were you then? Oh that's right, you were riding the Obama HOPE wave. Just keep your comments to yourselves. The only way this thing is going down is a dream ticket. Get used to it. It's already been decided. Hillary Prez./Obama V-Prez.

Let's face it. If Obama gets the nomination we might as well just give it to Mc Cain. Clinton is the only one who can fight and beat the Republicans. If he thinks Clinton is a dirty fighter wait till the Republicans have their way with him. I hope we don't have to see it.

I encourage the Obama campaign to continue on in the manner that they began. Run a campaign that focuses on the issues. Leave the name calling and bickering to Hillary Clinton. Rise above, continue to inspire, continue to embrace change, continue to encourage us to hope. Don't lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Joe from Boston you are exactly right. Hillary has always said that she would consult with her joint chiefs of staff before making any final decisions about withdrawal. Obama has never publicly said this and sometimes scrutinizing Hillary on this one issue. So I think that Obama is talking out of both sides of the mouth.

Why is Powers resigning? Everything she said makes sense to all but Hillary of course. The woman is a monster.
Obama (by the way the monster would have too but Lord forbid) will first need to uncover all the Bush and Chiney's hidden secrets before he can even know where to start. Can you imagine what is awaitng to be revealed to Americans once a new president walks into that white house?
So Powers has nothing to appologize for especially when Hillary is known to be nothing but a monster. The only thing getting uglier than her politics is her face.

And this is a woman who is supposed to bring the country together? Give me a break. She continues to alienate people, twisting the truth, throwing out half truths and making insinuations without knowing the facts.

I really hope the American people can see through her. It's all about the power and she will do anything to get to the top (including staying with her husband who committed infidelity more than once).

It's apparent however, that many Americans can not see that she is a divisive figure. I see some comments that Obama can give a good speech. It is more than that. You need someone in the Presidency who can inspire people, persuade people and bring them together. And Senator Obama has done and can do it. Hillary just seems to make backroom deals, promises she can't keep, and oh yeah, attacks based on very little. I have seen her deceive but I have not seen her inspire.

Besides, if she gets the Presidency, it will be Bill calling the shots anyway. Once again, Washington will be without any sense of integrity and America's stature or regard in the global community will continue to diminish.

If Hillary gets the nomination, John McCain is more than capable. At least he is a person with integrity and honor.
