Maggie WIlliams chiming in on the matter can only help Obama.

Hillary Clinton should fire Ferraro immediately, no excuses!

There should be no tolerance for inflaming racist sentiments in this day and age, in this country. NO Mrs. Ferraro, Mr. Obama is NOT where he is because he is black. He is were he is because he is a talented and intelligent individual who is going to accomplish what you never could…WIN THE PRESIDENCY.

I expect all leaders in the Democratic party to denounce Ferraro's comment.

How Maggie Williams continues to defend this behavior coming from people representing the Clintons is reprehensible. She is unbelieveable.

She blames the Obama campaign for what Geraldine Ferraro says, she blames the Obama campaign for being upset over the picture of Obama in Kenyan garb, saying he should be proud. These people have more than nerve!

I am starting to understand the strategy here. Have someone make bad statements against Senator Obama, and then when his camp gets upset and says it should be rebuked, press him hard on Senator Clinton's statements about this election being about leadership.

why was it SO IMPORTANT for Obama to Reject and Denounce the support of Farrakah but the same rules do not apply this this lady. Pelosi.

What is the difference?

You, Maggie Williams, have crossed the line. To make excuses for this kind of behavior, this kind of racist behavior…

I would start updating your resume…

So, Hillary supporters, answer this question honestly. In the last two presidential elections, the Democrats won nearly 90% of the African-American vote. Both elections were decided by less than 3%, give or take. How, exactly, could Hillary expect to pull that much of the African-American vote with these scorched earth tactics. Never in a million years would I have EVER guessed that a Democrat would be calling anyone an Affirmative Action candidate the way Ferraro did. Disgraceful.

Divisive? Maybe. Patently absurd? Absolutely not. No doubt people in Ms. Ferraro's position shouldn't make these kinds of comments. It was, in a word, stupid for her to do so. But not because what she said is absurd. A white male or any female with Sen. Obama's resume would have been laughed out of the race a year ago.

Wait a minute, Williams is blaming Barack?

The difference between the two campaigns becomes clearer by the minute…

Geraldine Ferraro, what a completely ignorant thing to say!

Especially when it is just as easy to make the same point about Hillary…

A woman who has unfortunately no other claim to fame except that she is the WIFE of a former President. This is dumb gutter talk in any case but if you want to poke someone in the eye be careful you don;t go blind in the process.

Why can't some people see Barack beyond color? Why can't they see that he sure can bring a change to USA.

The process has already begun… like I read somewhere (and agree with it) he did it just by running for the president. Look at the movement. Look at how many new voters are pouring in because of someone's promise that things will get better if everyone unites and works together for acheiving success.

Obama '08

She should be "fired" just like how Power was by Obama Team. There is no need for such language in the United States of America. The fact that Clinton's camp refuses to "fire" her shows the substance they are made of…their true colors!!!

Did I miss something? It sounds like Maggie Williams is rebuking the Obama campaign. Wasn't it Clinton supporter, Geraldine Ferraro's racist comments that deserved the rebuke??

I fully agree with Ferraro comment, but in America, (many times hpocratic) you can't talk the truth in public.

Actually, what Ferraro said could be generously called an "attack." The Obama campaign is simply defending themselves and trying to preserve the party's November chances admidst a self-serving barage of dishonest Clinton attacks.

I guess Hillary was lying when she said she would not tolerate these kind of remarks.

Obama is no better than any of the current Washington politian. He plays political game as much as he could. He told vote he against NAFT, but told Canadian government that that is only for election. He played racialism again and again before any voting state that has large black population. I don't care what color he is, but I am tied of his political games.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT A HIGH PROFILE PERSON WHO SUPPORTS CLINTON, HAS INDICATED THAT OBAMAS PROBLEM IS THAT HE IS BLACK. THE FIRST WAS IN TEXAS BY A HIGH PROFILE LATINO LEADER AND NOW FERRARO. SENATOR CLINTON POLITELY SAYS SHE DOES NOT AGREE BUT CONTINUES TO SMILE BEHIND THE SCENES AND ACCEPT SUPPORT FROM THESE PEOPLE AND THE VOTES THEY BRING IN. SHE HAS NOT GONE FAR ENOUGH TO RENOUNCE THESE COMMENTS. THIS IS SO CLINTON.

We love you Geraldine and we want you to be VICE PRESIDENT GO HILLARY AND FERRARO 08 FIGHTERS FOR AMERICA

The Clinton campaign is ACTUALLY standing by Ferraro's statements?!

Oh. My. God.

Wait, the Clinton campaign is defending the patently racist comments? Wow. Hillary should just quit the race now to save face.

What?

"false, personal and politically calculated attacks"? You have to be kidding. That's exactly what Clinton continues to do!!!! Geraldine Ferraro made the comments, NOT Obama.

Seriously HRC supporters, you really can't see through this comment by Maggie Williams? You and I both know that Obama won't stoop down to her level. Seriously.

Maybe you can see through HRC, but you don't care. I just ask that If you're going to fight, fight for what's right, not just for the sake of fighting.

Obama '08

When I first saw this headline, I first thought: oh good, the Clinton Campaign is taking some action. I should have known when I saw the name Maggies Wiiliams that it's the usual Clinton rhetoric of divisive and nasty campaining. Now they are whining that they are the victims of what Ferrarro said. If Clinton is elected, I will leave America!

How long we must continue to hear these insolent statements by the
Clinton campaign ?? Obama, when an adviser insulted Hillary,
booted ("resigned") her, the Hillary campaign, when Ferrero makes
racist comments, attacks the Obama campaign because they objected to it !!

TOM

What have you done Hillary? Mr Cafferty don't like you!!

He says he's older than you. Still you must resemble some Female in his past life!

Maybe some look-a-like turned hjim down for the School Prom!

Way back then……………..

I believe that it is true that Obama has reached this point in his career because he is an African-American. The media was very hesitant to criticize him during Black History Month. This lack of investigation did play a part in some of Barrack's success because many citizens trust the media to report the news. This is a unique time in history where Americans are willing to put racism behind us, but we must not let a sense of shame force us to choose an inferior candidate. Look, Aberto Gonzalez was accused of reaching the Attorney General because he was Mexican-American. His critics said everything from his acceptance to the Air Force Academy, Rice, Harvard Law, ect. was because he beneficiary of Affirmative Action. He did enrage conservatives when he did not allow the administration to come down to hard in Michigan. My point is the Obama camp is living in a dream world if they think that race does not matter.

PEACE, PROSPERITY
TRUSTED, PROVEN,
HILLARY CLINTON

Ferraro's comment was just plain ugly.

I am very disappointed in her.

As an African American I have lived my whole life thinking that the Democrats where the good guys. How wrong I was to think that anyone who proclaimed they were a Democrat was blind to the evils of racism how wrong I was. Thanks Hillary for changing this country for the WORST.I hope it was worth it.

Since when it is 'offensive' to call a presidential candidate "lucky"? What Ms. Ferraro said is very true. Both Obama and Clinton are good candidates - however, I just wonder what the newscasters would be saying if Mrs. Clinton received 90% of the white vote? Mr. Obama's vote getting among black voters is extremely racist. No one on the air waves seems to be thinking that. As for myself, ordinarily I would vote for the more experienced candidate. But right now, I may just waste the vote and give it to Ralph Nader just to show my indignation at the way the media is covering this race. It is simply not right to constantly show one candidate as the great hope and the other as a lackey.

what a joke…it is obvious that obamas campaign is race driven. ferraro is not controversial, she is telling the truth. cnn…you are just as ridiculous. you condemn ferraro, yet while reporting the exit polls for miss. you reported that it is coming down to race and obama's huge african american vote. so…it's ok to report the facts, but not ok to state the obvious. ridiculous. obama is the biggest divider in the campaign.

CNN won't like this, but the only thing that is absurd:

Is Barack Obama not coming to terms with the fact that he is black. I am an American. I will not have my hands tied about saying the truth. Let's be very frank. I like Barack Obama. I also like Hillary Clinton - in fact, I like Hillary Clinton more. Barack, part of the excitement behind your campaign is the fact you are black and you make good speeches. Get over it. Because, it's going to take a lot more to win in the General Election than those 2 qualities. And no, just because I do not vote for Barack Obama does not make me a racist. For example, I'd gladly vote for Colin Powell, a true American Patriot, Barack Obama not so much. Hillary or McCain. Thanks for your time, despite the fact this is not a pro-Obama comment and CNN is likely not to post it.

Maggie Williams said "This campaign should be about the leadership we need for a better future and these attacks serve only to divide the Democratic Party and the American people". Obviously she didn't say that while looking into a mirror. The Clinton campaign takes a hit from Ferraro and another hit from its own stupidity.

I think Hillary should both DENOUNCE and REJECT Ferraro's comments!!!!!

Obama's advisor resigned last week after making a much LESS serious statement. I guess she was right after all and Hillary IS a monster! How dare Ferraro make such a totally biased remark. It sounded like something the KKK would say. Hillary should fire her immediately!! I used to be for Hillary but she is trying every old style political trick in the book. A lot of her supporters appear to be poorly educated white people who are obviously bigoted. I'm switching to Obama. I think Hillary is more right wing than McCain!

The Clinton’s have not released a scheduled tax return since 2002. There is no reason they couldn’t release,03,04,05,06 tomorrow and show where their millions are coming from. They have said that around April 15 they will release their returns. Come the 15th, they will have some excuse to postpone it past the 24th Penn. primary. Yes thats right, after millions of people have cast their ballots without this information.

All of the other Democratic candidates have made public their returns long ago. What’s the story Hillary?

Do we need a President that at 3am gets a call about a major problem in the middle east, and derives millions of dollars of her income from that area?
Sounds like a conflict of interest to me. Not only that its a major security problem. Will she be bought?

Hillary needs to come clean with the American people.

WHAT IS SHE HIDING?

Don’t let her hide!!!!!

I don't care if you post this or not. I just wanted to get a point across. We listen everyday and hear nothing but NEGATIVE about Hillary Clinton. Her husband cannot say anything because there is always a negative. Yet Obama's wife, Oprah, Kennedy's, Shriver can say anything they wish and nothing is said. Hillary is constantly being talked about and ridiculed. You never hear anything about Obama. Now we talk about McCain and his cancer. Who cares.. The man has been in remission. Anyone of these people could have cancer next year. People should focus on what is important. We constantly talk about these candidates and the war. This is IMPORTANT. But what about moving on to other things like the ECONOMY, loss of JOBS, HEALTHCARE…Always the negative on Clinton…. This is so obvious on CNN…

The Clinton campaign sinks lower and lower, desparation is setting in, you only had to look at her facial expression today when asked about those racial remarks from Ferraro and her failure to distance herself. Coming on top of the Commander in Chief remarks she made expressing her position that McCain would be better than Obama, her campaign seems to be losing direction and coherence again, that look said it all; she knows she has screwed up again; made a rookie mistake and will pay big style.Simply put her expression said she knows she is staring defeat in the face and is losing all credibilty with the voters and superdelegates. Her message is now being trumped on a daily basis.

In South Carolina they said he wouldn't succeed and would have a similar fate to Jessie Jackson,
Then they are now saying that he is successful because he is black,
They practically endorsed Mcain , a republican saying he was more qualifed to be commander in chief, then floated the idea that Obama would be a good VP.
What is it with Clintons these days they don't even have a unified position, I think this is as a result of all the infighting and disorganization they have,

Sorry, Maggie Willams. There is no way to spin this one. Hillary needs to "reject", "denounce" and "FIRE", Geraldine Ferraro. There is no need for these type of comments during the campaign.

Ferraro's comments were wrong and unfortunate, and Hillary Clinton did say she did not agree with them. Having said that, Ferraro is a fundraiser, not a paid member of the Clinton campaign, which means that this is not analogous to the Samantha Power flap. The Obama campaign did not call for repudiation of Gloria Steinem's (a Clinton supporter) comments about John McCain, although McCain's campaign did. And nobody has yet expressed sufficient outrage over Orlando Patterson's irresponsible and inexcusable op-ed piece in the New York Times in which he compares Clinton's 3AM ad to the white supremacist propaganda of "Birth of a Nation."

Unless we plan on voting for a candidate for president based on who had the fewer or most (which would be more favorable?) denunciations of his or her supporters, we should probably declare a moratorium on denunciations, unless the person is directly employed by one of the campaigns. Otherwise we risk undermining the first amendment and spending too much time focusing on off-the-cuff or off-the-record remarks made by surrogates rather than the plans proposed by the candidates that affect millions of lives.

Good!

Hilllary should fight back! Do not be too mercy to Obama. He is just liar who will be exposed one day!

Go hillary

People are always making comments. How can this be Stopped? Only Gods knows. The candidates and campaign leaders need to relax, chill and focus on their strategies, and not each other in a negative manner, unless, its revelant to the campaign. We do need strong leaders, but not at the expense of dividing the party.

WHAT TO DO WITH FLORIDA & MICHIGAN.

1. Since both states violated the party rules there should be some consequence or we will conform what a lot of people
think about the party– that we’re permissive and indulgent. That said, why not have a new primary but cut the delegates in half.
Thats what the other party did and we didn’t hear any complaints about that. It seems they at least got that right.

2. Since Hillary would probably win Florida 55/45 and Obama would probably win Michigan 55/45 (remember over 40% of the voters in Michigan went out
in freezing temps to vote uncommitted, and with Obama’s name not even on the ballot). Why not divide the votes evenly and give each candidate
half the delegates. This would save the party 20-30 million dollars that could be used against McCain. Lets not waste money because Florida and Michigan broke the rules.

Finally, many of us have donated to the candidate of our choice to advance their programs, not to make good on Florida and Michigans bad decisions.
It would make some of us think twice about giving again. Any primaries should be paid for by the DNC or soft money.

The Obama campaign is correct. The remark by Ferraro is probably intended to pander to not only overt racists, but closet racists as well.

Having lived in Alabama and Georgia myself. I am very familiar with that overt racism, as well as the undercurrent of insidious racism that pervades all areas of society.

Furthermore, I cannot believe that Clinton is not also purposely pandering to those with a racist culture and history. Her so-called experience is in "politics" ie, getting elected and making sure someone else doesn't get elected. She seems to run a "monster" campaign. Maybe the Obama campaign worker who resigned was correct.

When I learned of Ferraro's remarked, I imagined heads nodding in agreement all through the white deep south.

"This campaign should be about the leadership we need for a better future and these attacks serve only to divide the Democratic Party and the American people," Williams said in a statement sent to reporters.

where was this statement last week when the Clinton campaign was asking for a denunciation and resignation in regard to the Monster comment?

By standing by and up for this position Hillary Clinton has made it clear where she stands on issues of race; black people are very nice for the most part, as long as they know their place.

Such comments spit in the face of measuring people by the content of their character.

But Hillary isn't a racist, lying, cheating, bigoted, closet Republican…As far as I know.

WHAT THE HECK IS MAGGIE TALKING ABOUT? HOW IN THE WORLD IS THIS OBAMA CAMP'S FAULT! SHE SOUNDS STUPID!!!!!!!!! WHEN OBAMA'S ADVISER CALLED HILLARY A MONSTER, THEY WERE UP IN ARMS!!!! NOW WHEN SOMEONE AT HILLARY CAMP SAYS THAT OBAMA ONLY IS IN HIS POSITION BECAUSE HE IS BLACK, THEN IT IS OBAMA'S CAMP AT FAULT. IF MAGGIE KNEW ANYTHING, SHE WOULD KNOW THAT FERRARO'S COMMENT WOULD DIVIDE THE PARTY NOT THE OBAMA CAMP!!!!!

LETS GET REAL!!!!!!

Geraldine nailed it.

The media has created this phenom but Obama has no substance. Quite frankly a woman or white man would not have reached first base with the same Obama resume

If the same were said of Maggie Williams, that the only reason she has a leadership role is because of her race, one suppose that would be reasonable as well? In fact, there are whispers that the reason she is there is exactly for the purpose of refuting claims of Clintonian bigotry, and she is apparently playing her role very well. It's unfortunate that for every Karl Rove, there is a Mark Penn, for every Clarence Thomas a Maggie Williams and for every George Bush, a Hillary Clinton. Let's break from this and move on to something new.

Jack you are an idiot for the coment that you made about Geraldine Ferraro. The insinuations behind the comments is true but eveyone is so sensitive about not offending the black candidate that no one is anymore allowed to say anything about Obama's blackness. I am a black woman, who inherently believe that Obama is unqualified and got where he got basically on concept. He hems and haws on the questions if they are posed to him as a direct question and not a rebuttal to Hillary's response. Cnn you make it so obvious that you are caught up in the Obamamania hype. You probably won't post this for this comment but it is time you report the news fairly and equally than reporting only in favor of the 'Rock Star'

Wow, just when you think it can't get any lower, they dig a pit and jump down.

Is every one asleep? Come on People. People are focused on Gov. Eliot Spitzer and his sex scandal. Why didn't you impeach Pred. Clinton when he had the woman down on her knees. Leave the Governor alone because Hillare is now trying to let her husband back in to run muck in the white house again.
Iri

Question for Maggie Williams… Are you 12 years old? I mean, sorry, but the comments from you and the way you present them…

I don't make my judgments based on color of the skin but isn't it rather obvious why Sen Obama has 88% of African Americans voting for him???? If he was a white man could he have managed to get 88% of African American votes? Edwards could not !!!!! Because as far as real issues are concerned there is nothing much Sen Obama has to offer - all he has is "we need a change" and " I agree with Sen Clinton" . Like it or not, Obama camp is very strategically playing the race card to their benefit and making it Clinton's fault (Just like they did in South Carolina).

Hope American people are smart enough to understand and make educated decisions rather than superficial ones. There is no doubt that African Americans are no less that every other American and that they are more than capable of taking up any challange ,but not Sen Obama. He is behaving like a kid waiting for a reason to blame someone else and tattle inorder to take attention away from his doings .

Does this action, or rather lack of action, on the part of Hillary's campaign speak volumes? Hillary, either is an outright racist for not denouncing or rejecting Fearrar racist remarks, or is totally unable to handle her campaign managers and advisors or maybe both. That is a truly bad sign of the tough and ready image is trying to portray to be able to step in and lead on day one claim of Hillary's.

Is this the way all women who fight sexism view racism?

I'll say it if everyone else is scared to say it, I think Hillary provokes the racist remarks that come out of her campaign and then she sheds a tear and says not me, oh not me. I think that is garbage, look at Bill and his comments, look at the things Hillary has said, look at what others in her campaign have said. It is a continuos flow of racist remarks. I am outraged by Hillary's campaign and her lack of respect and not accepting the responsibility of the remarks that come out of her campaign.

I am so sick of Obama I can't wait to vote for McCain. The fact is if everyone was allowed to vote in those caucus states and they were primaries instead he would not be in the lead. If people were allowed easy access to vote by not being precluded from voting because it ain't easy at a caucus for the old, blind and disabled, caretakers etc then Clinton would be in the lead. We do not have a democratic system.

Obama's making personal attacks????

What do you call claiming one opponents race is the reason for their success? That's seems pretty personal to me.

no one can say anything about Obama being black without idiot saying they are a racist…If people want to be racist they will just get all their friends and say we will not vote for a black man..then u can be a racist…this Obama and his stafff just love playin the race card it gives them more BLACK votes

It seems that there is too much apologizing during the campaign.
These people are needing to get some thicker skins. When one of these characters get to be president of the United States, they may be taking more slams than what is going on right now. Lets get some strength.

Geraldine Ferraro was the co-architect of one of the most disastrous Democratic campaigns in American presidential history. Not only did she and Mondale lose, but they lost in an overwhelming landslide to a man who offered nothing more than "happy times." Given her history of catastrophic performances in campaigns, I don't think her opinion about Obama means much at all. She should return to the political garbage heap of history, from whence she came.

I can't believe how OFFENSIVE her comments were. And how PATHETIC that the Clinton campaign doesn't FIRE her. Obama fired an advisor for calling Hillary a Monster. OMG!!! Double standards? I can't stand that woman Clinton.

As usual the clinton campagne tries to go negative to gain.
What they are hoping is that President Obama mentions something about gender as they are mentioning race,so that they can counter and grab some of his female base.
Don't fall for that snare Obama!!!!

I look forward to the day you take your oath of office!!!

OBAMA is PRESIDENT!!!!!

Does Maggie Williams think that the voters are stupid? Geraldine Ferraro's remarks were wrong. BS spin!

When Hillary said she was honored to be on the stage with Obama it was really another false statement as they and their supporters continue to tell him to get in his place.

SHAMEFULL

I'm an Obama supporter, but I'm sick and tired of us trying to fight the good fight here with this ridiculous Clinton campaign. We've got to take the gloves off and hit back when HRC uses her stooges to make vicious attacks against Barack. She will stop at nothing to get the nomination.

What would be the politically correct way to say what the polls are saying?

As usual the clinton campagne tries to go negative to gain.
What they are hoping is that President Obama mentions something about gender as they are mentioning race,so that they can counter and grab some of his female base.
Don't fall for that snare Obama!!!!

I look forward to the day you take your oath of office!!!

OBAMA is PRESIDENT!!!!!

How many black people, 12%?
How many women, 50%?
If Ferraro were right, HRC would be 38% ahead of Mr. Obama in the elections.

Ms. Clinton also stated that the focus of the campaign should be on the issues of universal healthcare, the economy, and national security. All of which Ms. Clinton has given a detailed plan to navigate this country, and which Mr. Obama has not. Look up her plans, listen to what she says in debates and speeches. He has not delivered a detailed plan. Why do the media not focus on this?

Clinton/Obama 2008/2012

Well, from a lot of reading….no just news stories, but interviews with those who have worked with Obama, he is lucky to be where he is…..put on committees by Kennedy, but not showing up for committee meetings, not really having any need to fight for anything so far as a Senator. He has scary ideas about Iraq and dealing with foreign leaders. He is too young, too inexperienced and too naive…that has all been said…..and now it is starting to show…..anybody listening, watching him really…..?

Hillary wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell in running for President if her husband wasn't Bill Clinton. i don't think Ferraro's comment is accurate, because Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton's race didn't make them presidential frontrunners. Obama is succeeding because of his individual appeal and a very well oiled campaign.

Is Ms. Ferraro stupid, or just plain ignorant. Either way it's no exuse! Obama is "in this position" because he deserves to be. He has 2 less yeard experience than Hillary. Maybe Ms. Ferraro should change her party to "Republican".

Gerladine was a novelty in 1984, because she was awoman.

I suspect she wouldn't have wanted that pointed out back then.

We constantly put the Clinton family under the microscope. Bill Clinton was a good president. How come the news doesn't put any of the other candidates under the microscope and criticize them constantly like they do Hillary Clinton.. This is so obvious. Are we afraid of Obama and his following?? Never NOTHING said about him. Quite obvious who the media supports.

So, Clinton neither rejects nor denounces Ferraro's remarks. I guess that means that Clinton accepts and proclaimes Ferraro's remarks.

The Clinton campaign seems to have a real problem with accountability…they ALWAYS blame the other guy.

I suppose Ms. Williams believes that calling Obama Kenn Starr is not personal or calculated. She should be ashamed of her above comment. This is a new low for the Clinton campaign.

when is enough for Hillary Clinton?
what Ms Ferraro said is just horrible, so much worst that anything is being sad about her.
She is more than a monster, she is a devil that DEMAND to be president!!!!
Give up Hillary. You will never get my vote, I will vote for McCain before I vote for you!!!!

These remarks that everyone seems to be having a problem with are stating fact folks…………and so what about it? What is there to apologize for when all the polls - admit it - show Senator Obama taking the black voters 80%…………..that clearly shows what else but that the black voters are voting for Obama?

What would there be to fire anyone about? Senator Obama uses his race at every turn that he has available to him! Even Oprah when she was out getting the vote told the black voters to vote for him because he was 'one of them'………..what else is one to think? Senator Obama has someone say their piece (Oprah) and that is ok? Can't have it both ways!

Good grief. Attacks? He hasn't attacked, and he hasn't been personal. He simply called you out on exactly what you're trying to do, just like he always does. You're seriously trying to say HE's the one who's out of line after YOUR advisor says racist comments? How about you just fire Ferraro as an advisor. Barack fired Samantha Power for far less. You should take some notes on how to run a campaign.

The only thing I have witnessed as being patently absurd is Obama's Campaign.

Let me briefly explain. A man who is running for the President of the United States of America on mere Orator's sub-standard talents, quotes from past statesmen and a mantra of Change and Yes We Can is in my mind patenly absurd!

When you consider in addition to the above that he has yet to after months of campaigning, lay out any plans as to how he would bring about this Change he speaks about incessantly. He has yet to explain how he will implement his Health Care Program which leaves out a good chunk of the population. He has yet to explain how he will implement the deployment of troops and end the Iraq War. He has yet to explain how he will improve the present rock bottom economy. A Candidate who feels he can win the nomination on mere unsubstanitated words and phrases is indeed patently absurd.

This man in my view is getting a free ride to the White House at the expense of the American citizens and their tax dollars. It is way past time he was asked to explain point blank as the two other Candidates have, to verbally back up his statements of plans by laying them out for the American citizens. I don't feel this is too much to ask given the other Candidates have already done so.

Unbelieveable spin! Firstly, has anyone really questioned whether Ferrero made these comments without getting the OK from someone in the Clinton campaign first? Secondly defending yourself AGAINST an attack is NOT an attack. It is defense. This is the South Carolina strategy all over again - painting Obama as the exclusively 'Black' candidate who can't appeal to the wider electorate. Toxic, inaccurate and offensive. Welcome to Hillaryland.

Yeah, just like 88% of the African American population voted for Obama and no one else. So you call this a non racist & non biased election? I don't think so.

Hillary benefitted from affirmative action as a woman as well. But as an attorney, please know that if he did not have the skills, affirmative action or not, he would not have been editor of the Harvard Law Review. Its amazing how blinded people are by their beliefs, blacks can vote for who they want, for whatever reason. If you have a problem with that, you should also think its sexist for women to vote for Hillary because she is a woman. Think an argument through before you make it because a lot of you seem like idiots.

Is there any depth to which the Clinton campaign and her cronies would not stoop? Concerning a joint ticket, I would not vote for any ticket on which Hillary Clinton's name appears.

Hillary is tearing this party into two. She is acting like Obama is taking her rightfully bestowed presidency. Except she is the only one that feels this way.

I myself started out as a Hillary supporter, Obama won me over with his poise, tact, and his NO vote on the Iran resolution. Fair and square.

Today I cant even see myself holding my nose and voting for Hillary in the national election, and her style of campaigning has done this, not anything that Obama has done.

The only way she can win is that if she has way more super delegates vote for her instead of Obama, at which point there will be a riot in the Democratic party. How do I know this, Governor Randell has said that super delegates are to make sure the Democrats elect a "stronger" candidate, and to hech with people (I added this last part).

You Hillary supporters are dillusional, and I'm noticing less and less of you every day, thank God.

Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Steny Hoyer and Al Gore need to pull the Clintons aside and let them know that it is over. Hillary's saviour will not be the super delegates.

Nancy Pelosi is right, there will be no dream ticket, and after what Hillary's shinannigans, I don't want her anywhere near the whithouse.

Thank You Geraldine Ferraro……………..
Its about time someone told the truth about Obama…………………

More Clinton hypocrisy.

The Hillary campaign is built on nothing more than lies, racism, dirty tricks and the lust for power Hillary and Bill.

***"This campaign should be about the leadership we need for a better future and these attacks serve only to divide the Democratic Party and the American people," Williams said.****

Well said, Mag. You prove yet again that your campaign is totally divorsed from reality. Clinton is running a campaign of attack politics instead of one focusing on "leadership" and dividing the Democratic Party by endorsing McCain.

This does prove one thing, though. The Clintons can't admit when they are wrong. Do we really want that in the White House again?

Both sides should stop the bickering. Why? They are just giving the Republicans ammunition for the general election. Everything and every word is being carefully recorded and analyzed by the Republicans. I wish all of these supporters of both sides would just keep their mouths shut.

It's unfortunate when someone you admired like Geraldine Ferraro, and hillary clinton for that matter, turns out to be as low as any right wing republican. I guess the vast right wing conspiracy was right after all. Barack Obama not only needs to win, America NEEDS him to win.

This is more strategy to win Pennsylvania. They are shameless and they keep going to the bad in all of us.

How can Hillary be good for our Country?

In addition to my comment above, is there every any time whites think blacks actually earn what they get? You know there are plenty of blacks more educated than whites without affirmative action. I know its difficult to accept but it is true.

I think the Obama Campaign should rehire the lady the called Hillary Clinton a "Monster". She was just telling the truth.

Hillary Clinton's true colors are really showing. She jumped all over Obama for the Monster staement. SHe also said her campaign wouldnt stand for this type of behavior, but she is NOT "REJECTING" or "DENOUNCING" Ferrarro's statements. HYPOCRIT!!!!!!

So, racism is OK if it helps the Clinton campaign; somebody should tell them that we're in the 21st century! Normally, Ferraro's remarks and Maggie Williams' clarifications should bring this race to an end…

Ferraro=Italian-American with smarts and depth, only woman to serve on Democratic ticket, states SD are to vote in party's best interest
Pelosi=Italian-American with rich husband, Senate sinks to all-time lowest rating under her lead, states SD must vote with state delegates
Answer to equation? Smart & Depth wins over Dense & Shallow

Remember when Obama was invited to attend a black meeting or conference and couldn't go??? He said he would send his wife but they told him to forget it… Could you see if Hillary Clinton had said she couldn't go but would send Bill??? The media would have been all over that……………………………….. She is constantly picked on no matter what she or anyone else says…. Again, no one ever will dare speak of Obama… AFRAID………………… So one sided

That's it, Hillary. I thought you were different. Turns out you are just like Bush. You just lost my vote forever.

Interesting, Hillary affirms she is "ready on day one", yet she is not able to hold people in her campaign accountable for these type of actions, she has not been able to manage her campaign effectively, running out of money, discounting caucus states and smaller states to the point she is behind in total delegates (but those states don't really count), doesn't seem as if she is demonstrating the characteristics of a "Chief Executive" and certainly not someone ready on day one.

The only person lucky in this race is Hillary for being the wife of an Ex- President, for having a silver spoon priviledged life, and lots of old haggard politicians in her pocket. She wouldn't have gotten this far if she was just a senator with less than 2 terms. Also, Ferraro was in the House for 6 years before she was asked to be VP. Double Speak at its best.

The Obama camp needs to grow up.

Her comments weren't racisit - they were factual. She didn't say he is lucky to be 'where' he is'. She said he is lucky to be 'who' he is. Isn't he?

Obama made some pretty racial comments after the Texas primary.
His father was lucky enough to come to America, get and education and marry a white girl. Racist????

Are not HUGE numbers of African Americans voting for him? Racist??

Why is Obama the only one who can bring up race?

This Maggie Williams lady is now defending her boss to a point of irrationality. So Obama is to blame for a patently racist statement by a Clinton's campaign insider? when was the last time that Hillary or the campaign spoke about policies or what really matters to voters. All we hear from her and her campaign are negative attacks or if you dont vote for me all your children will die!

Geez Maggi, are you trying to get rid of the last of Hillary's support? We reject any comment that Obama is where he is as a black man, as we would reject any comment that Hillary is where she is because she was the wife of a former president. Oh, wait, that second part is true.

I am 99% Democrat. I make $11.50 an hour and have tighened my belt to send Obama's campaign over $250 so far becuase he has refused to take any Lobbyist or PAC money. I decided to volunteer for his campaign when I kept feeling inspired about the change he wants to bring about in Washington. By the way Obama is doing so well becuase of his message not race or gender. We are feed up with the way things have been going in Washington and he is the most agressive person to take the steps to create change. I will not donate money to any campaign that takes Lobbyist or PAC money and this negative campaigning by the Clinton's is making me consider voting for McCain if Clinton is the nominee. If McCain, and I think he will, runs a respectful campaign I would be more inclided to vote for him. I want someone that is respectful to other people to respresent us here and abroad.

This is Bush / Rove campaigning at it's finest. Hillary's campaign is following in Bush's footsteps. Her integrity diminishes every day. Just more proof that we need to abolish politics as usual.

Well …I guess that Hilary's not going to "rebuke and renounce" Ferraro and her comments. Does that mean Hilary doesn't have to stand up to the same standards that she sets for others or is it just one of those sexist things where everything they do is OK because they're women?

This is starting to get disgusting. Hillary is starting to act more like the "Monster" she was referred to. Obama should hire back the Foreign policy advisor who resigned, because she was right! Hillary is now cashing in favors with old friend, who are acting ugly on her behalf. These are old politics and letting go is getting hard. The superdelegates should start casting after tonight's primary in Mississippi. This will stop her from acting any more uglier and save the Clintons reputation. A Democrat turned Republican in the middle of the race. WOW!!!!! Someone (Dean) make the Super Delegates cast now and force her to "Go down with some dignity left".

There is no place for this kind of talk in this race, and the fact that it is coming from Clinton's campaign does not surprise me in the least. I am increasingly disgusted by pretty much everything that comes out of the Clinton campaign - and I used to support her in the beginning of this campaign process. Now, if she wins the nomination there is no way she will get my vote. Her tactics are disgusting and it's obvious she will do anything to win.

Clinton wouldn't be where she is either…

1. If she wasn't married to Bill
2. If she was Male

Still amazed at the double standard the Clinton camp has

Clinton is old school - back stabbing polytics… we need change. (also… experience doesn't mean you're good at something… I'm still looking for something significant that she's done - not taken credit for someone elses actions)

She is not paid by Hillary to be Fired. Do your homework before you post things you nothing about.

Wow I thought only the evil Carl Rove and Repulicans were "divisive".

The Dems are finally seeing these people for what they are. Everybody looked the other way with the Clintons but now I hope they are done and we can move forward and have real dbates about the real issues that face us.

She should also REJECT her DENOUNCE her and FIRE her.

Oh my gosh; she spoke the truth. Obama is raking in 85% A-A votes. Shame !

I am amazed at the response to Ferraro's remarks. She is completely - and I mean completely - correct. I have been saying this for many many weeks - Obama would NEVER be experiencing his current position as a mouthy, non-substantive candidate, spouting his empty verbiage if he were a white man, or if he were Asian or Hispanic, for that matter. He is black - and blacks are his rallying promoters, twisting arms of super delegates to change their votes to support him because he is black. I will not vote for Obama for many reasons, not the least of which is because he says nothing of substance, and is full of only rhetoric - but he is riding this ride on his race - and currying the support of others simply because he is their black candidate. Color him white keeping the same speech contents and demeanor, and he would not garner the attention of anyone interested in listening to what he is saying, not just being dazzled by his "style". Mr. Obama should preach from a church pulpit and stay out of serious politics until he has established a record of serious accomplishments. The New York Times got it right with their front page article this Sunday.

Voters….Who represents AMERICA best ?
Who would our FRIENDS around the world like to UNITE with?
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

Honestly, who cares!

And why did Ms Ferraro's and her presidential candidate not win in 1984?

Additionally, as much as I am repulsed by her insipid statement, I must commend the south for not agreeing. Take a look at the primary results. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Washington, D.C., Virginia and Louisiana (Jim Crow's founding State). The southern whites - many of whom left the Democratic Party largely after President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (of which Hillary Clinton worked against with Barry Goldwater) - have embraced Senator (future president) Obama.

We are living in the real word watching the self destruction of the Clinton influence on American Politics.

Clinton's campaign just sinks lower and lower. If she wins, I doubt I will vote for her, and that is hard for me to say. I think she has better positions than McCain, who strikes me as a well-meaning man who unfortunately is Bush Lite, but I have pretty much lost all trust and respect for Clinton. I hope Obama goes on to win, but if he doesn't, it looks like the Green Party for me. Futile, I know, but I just don't think I can pull the lever for such a slimer as Clinton. And by the way, does anyone think Clinton would still be in the race if she weren't a Clinton? She would have been laughed off the scene. Offering the frontrunner the vp slot in her campaign? Laughable, and despicable.

NEW YORKER REPORTER ON THE TUCKER TALK SHOW CALLES HILLARY CLINTON " THE IRON LADY"
YES SHE IS AN IRON LADY. AFTER TAKING ALL THE NEGATIVE ATTACKS FROM NOT ONLY OBAMA'S CAMP AND REPUBLICANS AND STILL STAND UP AND FIGHT , SHE DESERVES THE TITLE.

SHE IS NOT THE FRAGILE , EASILY , DISTRACTED BY ATTACKS ON HER CANDIDACY. AFTER OBAMA'S STRING OF VICTORIES, HILLARY (;LIKE THE IRON LADY) FOUGHT BACK AND WON TEXAS, OHIO AND RHODE ISLAND EASILY ERASING OBAMA'S LEAD.
WYOMING IS REPUBLICAN AND WILL NOT HELP OBAMA IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. WHEREAS, TEXAS, OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA, FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN WILL HELP HILLARY CLINTON.

Let me get one thing straight, I will be holding my nose and voting for McCain in November for policy reasons. But what Ferraro said is patently racist, and wrong. Obama is simply the only natural leader running, and it shows the way he draws supporters from across all divides, even from among Republicans. He is where he is because he has the leadership and communication skills of a Kennedy, Roosevelt, and yes, Reagan. Hillary is where she is because she and her husband are ruthless political animals that will do and say anything for personal power.

"A white male or any female with Sen. Obama's resume would have been laughed out of the race a year ago."

Not true…Bush? Bill Clinton? John KennedY? Abraham Lincoln? And I don't remember Ferraro herself having a wealth of experience either.

It's time for Hillary to denounce and reject Geraldine Ferraro.

Shame on you, Hillary, for not firing Ferraro immediately! This is putrid racist nonsense, and it serves no place in public discourse. My God, I can't believe people like this call themselves Americans

Ms. Ferraro's comment is not a racist comment, it is true given the number of votes cast for Barach by African Americans. It's absurd to think we can totally ignore the fact of his race. There is no shame in African American's wanting to vote for an African American. There are many whites voting for him also, but the African American vote make his totals more impressive. We can't stop from acknowledging Barach's race any more than we can stop acknowledging Hillary's gender.

Obama is leading because he's not a phony.

I also want to say that there's no "rock star status." People are excited about Obama because he's simply an inspiring guy.

Hi Maggie Williams –be fair, The Clinton's drew "first blood" on the race issue. Not because you are Black, speak to your own campaign with regard to stayine on the issue. It is so blatanly obvious: Bill Clintion's comment, the picture of Obama in a turban and now this with Ferraro! Maggie, I am also Aferican American, if you had any dignity you would resign from the Clinton campaign.

It is true… He is leading because of his race, but mostly because he is a man…. The country has shown that they are not ready for a woman to lead, especially a white woman. If Hillary was a different race, but staying with her same personality and views, she would be much closer if not exceeding Obama…

Obama has great charisma, but no substance. Reminds me of Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums. Chanting "Change" means nothing if you dont really breakdown the "how". Anyone can point out problems, but it takes a leader to point out solutions.

America will continue to decline in comparisson to the other industrialized nations. Obama is clearly the better candidate for soooo many reasons. Primative ideals plague our society. The time for change is now…………… Obama 08

Clinton is over because of the McCain-Obama-Commander-In-Chief Comment.

Let's move on.

Obama/??? is the next question.

Obama-bots are really stupid, Geraldine is merely a supporter. She is neither a consultant nor a paid staff member. You can't fire someone who doesn't even work for you..Obama is expected to carry Mississippi, DUH… He would not be where he is if he weren't black. Oprah would not have ever campagined for him if he were not black. He would not have won all those predominately black states if he were not black. MLK would never have been mentioned if he were not black. I have a dream, would never have been mentioned. Black delegates would not be strong armed into switching to Obama if he were not black. Sorry, just the facts

Ferraro's remarks are undoubtably just another attempt by the clintons to inject race into the campaign! First it was bill in S.C., then it was hillary after Obama swept the southern states, dimissing it as just "the black vote", voting for one of thier own. Now it is a third and more obvious attempt by one of her senior staff! While one of her advisors says she doesn't agree with it, I notice hillary hasn't "renounced and rejected" it. Maybe the only part she disagrees with is that if he was a woman he wouldn't be there. She obviously disagrees with everything the dem. party has preached about racial equality for the last 50 years!

Apparently, the only response the Clinton campaign is able to make to any situation is ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK. This says a lot about the campaign's leadership. Is this the kind of leadership that would be effective in a President?

Obama is where he is because he is black. That is neither racist nor divisive. He has the coercise support of blacks who promote him simply because he is black, not because of his political message. If he was white, those same blacks who now support him wouldn't give him a minute of their time. It doesn't matter what he promises - we don't know what that really is. "Change" can be negative as well as positive - Obama would never be where he is if he was white, saying the same things he says today. He would be ignored and ridiculed as a light-weight with no substance.

Ferraro is right.

It is a fact that Obama benefited in college and law school thanks to affirmative action admission policies. He was a junior professor in Univ of Chicago before running for senate 4 years ago.
His achievements are at best dismal if not pathetic. It is not wrong to claim or conclude that If he were a white male, his chances for presidential bid will be impossible.

"This campaign should be about the leadership we need for a better future and these attacks serve only to divide the Democratic Party and the American people," Williams said in a statement sent to reporters.

How Clintonian. Do what you accuse them of and just scream indignation louder than your opponent.

If it's about leadership why is Ferraro commenting on skin colour?

I believe that what Mrs. Ferraro stated was taken out of context, her point was accurate, based on how it was said.

Just as I believe that he has more of an advantage over Senator Clinton because she is a woman, and most men will not vote for a female.

When Obama goes head to head with McCain, the white male vote will go to McCain in volumes (in that voting booth, people vote the truth).

Go Hillary!

As a woman, I find it absurd that the racist comments - by a key campaign strategist in the Clinton camp - is allowed to be accepted by these same women apologist on this board who complain about sexism.

So it's okay to be blantantly racist as long as a white woman says it? This type of discourse should not be accepted by real progressives who believe that all of us are created equal. Unlike Senator Clinton, real progressives don't believe that a republican is better than a Democrat at governing America.

If the Clinton suporters believe and/or accept anything that Ferraro and Hillary clearly meant, you're not a real progressive…you're not a real Democrat.

I now know I voting for the best person for President next month - Senator Obama.

The Clinton Camp should close shop. How sad they are do anything and
say anything to win.

OBAMA !!!

Many of you defending Ferraro's comments because you don't think they're racist are missing an obvious point: Not being racist doesn't automatically make them true!

There have been at least half a dozen African-American presidential candidates in the recent past (two of them ran just four years ago!). By Ferraro's logic, they would have made it much closer to the nomination, but not one of them came within an inch of that.

At the same time, do you honestly believe Hillary Clinton would be a senator right now if her husband hadn't been president? Or a candidate herself? Be honest now.

How anyone could miss such obvious counter-arguments is beyond me.

hey hunter.. in bend, org. get over the tax issue. No one gives a crap about that. Move on.. More important issues out there.. About our Country.. !!!!
HILLARY ALL THE WAY!!!

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!

There is a pattern here. A few days ago, he was Ken Starr. Now he is incompetent but a lucky black guy. Oh that's right, Jessie Jackson won South Carolina. You remember that Obama used drugs in his youth . He isn't Muslim, as far as I know.

Monster is too good of a word for her. I wish she would flame out . Hey I hear NY needs a governor .. Hillary they are calling you .

Tell me, if Obama was white do you really think he would have gotten the percentage of black votes he has so far? Pointing out he is something of a novelty, is not racist.

You wanna know was is racist? A man who is mullato, refusing to call himself what he is, if he called himself white, wouldn't that be labeled by the press as shame and self hatred?

How far would he have gotten if he had done that, insead of labeling himself as black?

America will DENOUNCE and REJECT Obama and all his use of Race that is dividing the Democrats. His camp has done it over and over again!! Its getting old. It all started in South Carolina with him running with the spinning of the 'Fairy Tale" comment.

Obama - NO WAY!!

However you categorize Geraldine Ferraro's statement re: Obama, it happens to be true. Why is Obama ashamed of his blackness? Why are more than 8o% of blacks voting for him? They, {the pundits} say that their position on the issues are pretty much similar with differences on the margin.
The difference is He is a Black Man and she is a White Woman. I know the American people are not racial or gender biased. Sure, no one is biased in America.

Hey if you want to believe this , go right ahead. Ferraro was saying what she believes and it happens to be true at the same time. That's my humble opinion,

I am wondering how qualified the last president was… and the one before that? Hm… I guess times were just perfect with those last two. I think it was because they were black … Oh no, that's right they were white men, youngish, with a plan and a dream. I guess those options are just really not for ALL Americans huh?

Sometimes we can be too bitter and ignorant to be ashamed. I for one, am very happy this is all coming to light. It's funny how equality has a leash for some people.

Yeah, Maggie, are you going to say the same thing about testimony that comes out of the Pellicano, or the upcoming Peter Paul fraud trial that implicates Hillary in wrongdoing?

CNN, shouldn't you being doing a public service to inform the voters on the Pellicano and Peter Paul trials? Why is the Press so mute on these trials when they involve a Presidential candidate?

Meanwhile……

The lobbyist who represented Ahmet Chalabi, you know who this guy is, dont you, if you don't pleaase google him, is RUNNING John McCain's campaign.

Three Airbus lobbyists are a part of the McCain campaign, and one of them is his finance chair.

Oh yeah, an American company called Boing, we know this company don't we, just lost out a huge contract to Airbus, a European company, and John McCain is bragging about this.

…and John McInsane says he wouldn't be affected by lobbyists.

How many of you who will be laid off because of this injustice alone will be laid off, and how many of you are actually going to vote for McCain?

WHERE ARE YOU CNN, WHERE IS THIS STORY?
WHERE IS THE REAL JOURNALISM? WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?
GET TO WORK CNN?
EXPOSE THIS CREEP FOR WHAT HE IS.

Obama was too busy campaigning to go the Tavis Smiley's STATE of the BLACK UNION. Literally that was the reason- too busy campaigning. Hillary went.

Front Page Sunday 3/9 NYT- Obama in Senate: Star Power, Minor Role. Seems the only thing BOLD and AUDACIOUS about him is being presumptuous enough to launch a presidential campaign the MINUTE he entered the US Senate 2005.

He gets 80-90% of the AA vote but he has no policies or programs created directly for them. I'm not the only one to think this. AA come out in force to support him- is he BOLD and STRONG enough to speak for them-NO he does not speak to any AA specific issues. Hillary has worked YEARS DEFENDING and SUPPORTING gender issues- for women and children. We in turn support her.

Tell me then- who is a more AUTHENTIC and BOLD leader?! HILLARY.

huh? why is Hillary standing up for these racist comments?!

Hillary should ask Ferraro to step aside… FLAT OUT!! How she handles this is a reflection of how she will handle anything like this in the future.

I have already lost all respect for Hillary and this just reflect badly on her.

Hillary is inviting negative energy by the way she has campaigned so don't try to tell me that this fighter 'that will do ANYTHING to win' is a victim here. I am not buying that.

Thank you Nancy Pelosi for denouncing the possibility of the team ticket because Hillary was using Senator Obama to get votes by telling people that if they voted for her they might get a chance to vote for both of them… BUSTED!!!

We need REAL change in this country.

Obama/Edwards '08

Well, real issues need to be addressed .. Hilary is hiding tax returns and funs contribution and we know lot of lobbyists are investing lot of money ( Norman Hsu) contributes large donation to her campaign. we are sick and tired about politics as usual In washington. Lately and not the last Ferraro comments are disgraceful and unacceptable and need to be fully rejected and denouced, as Obama has done during his presentation.

Obama 08

Unless the cavemen in the Geico commercial feel slandered, Ms. Power's
comment about Clinton being a monster did not reawaken any of the bigotry that once dominated America. And yet she was immediately separated from the Obama campaign. If Ferraro in any way repesents Hillary, then maybe "the South will Rise again" but not in way that Ameica
can afford.

What has happened to accountability? This astounds me…

"Ferraro has refused to back down from her position. In a follow-up interview with the Daily Breeze, Ferraro stood by her previous statements and suggested that she is being attacked for this because she is white: "Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up," Ferraro said. "Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"[17]
Ferraro also stated on Fox News that Obama should not attack her comments about his race because he needs her to raise money for him if he wins the Democratic Party nomination.

She's such a well educated woman and the decent, responsible action would to have simply said "I spoke out of turn, and I apologize." These men and women in positions of leadership need to act with a modicum of decency. Race and gender (I am hoping) is not why any of us are backing our candidates.

Why hasn't anyone gotten mad about Obama calling the Florida primaries a "BEAUTY CONTEST" or gotten mad when his people accuse an entire state of being "RACIST LIERS".

Perhaps she is correct about Obama getting special treatment just because he is black and if making the observation makes me a racist then I will not be alone

Ken

I can't believe the media and the country is not jumping all over this. Obama consistently tries to bring the best out of Americans, while the Ciintons are covertly trying to stir up old divisive behaviors that have plagued this country. My thoughts… since they can no longer count on the Black vote and need the blue collar white vote, they're implementing the same tactics as the wealthy 1% Americans have historically used to distract Americans from asking the "right" questions regarding social inequality. For all we know, the Clintons are members of the elite 1%… we can't say for sure because they refuse to release their tax returns.

For anyone to say that the reason that Obama is leading this election in popular votes because 90% of African Americans vote for him is absurd. That would have to mean that the United States was mostly made up of African Americans.

The Obama campaign worker was dead on Clinton is a "monster" putting
it lightly.

They disagree with her statements, yet Maggie Williams attacks Obama? Like what Ferraro says is his fault? These attacks are divisive, yes Maggie, and we should be focusing on the issues, yes Maggie, but the Clinton campaign and her surrogates are the ones who are throwing the attacks and doing the dividing. Clinton politics as usual - win at all costs. And if Senator Obama attempts to defend himself, then he's a whiner and he is the divisive one? DO YOU THINK WE ARE STUPID? I am a 49 year old white woman who finds Ferraro's comments unbelievably offensive. And since they have yet to shut her up, if anyone has seen Ms. Ferraro's equally offensive follow up comments, I guess they can let her help dig Senator Clinton's political grave. And good riddance. I used to have some respect for the Clintons and even Ferraro, but no more.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. I would so love to call you what I really think you are but I'm sure CNN wouldn't post it. That ancient mentality of yours is sooooo obvious. Both you and Hillary are terrible representations for women.

OBAMA08

Is she going to argue next that african-americans in college shouldn't really be there and that affirmative action is the only reason? Give me a break… For a black man to get this far is truly remarkable.

I think Barack is a contenter only due to celebrity support providing much exposure, extremely positive coverage by the media, while Clinton was constantly bashed by the media, the caucus system favoring his demographic support group, and the illegal actions of the DNC by preventing votes to count and by changing the intended function of the superdelegates to favor Obama.

DAVID HUNTER LET ME TELL YOU WHAT SHE'S HIDING. HOW ABOUT TAKING $850,000 FROM HEALTH CARE LOBBIEST WHO WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. YOU HILLARY LOVERS BETTER READ UP ON PAUL VS CLINTON A CALIF. CASE ABOUT THE CLINTONS TRYING TO HIDE OVER 700,000 DOLLARS IN CAMPAGIN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM A FELON PETER PAUL, HILLARY LIED TO THE WASHINGTON POST AND SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW HIM, TWO DAYS LATER SHE WAS SENDING HIM A THANK YOU LETTER FOR DONATING TO HER CAMPAGIN. WHEN THE POST FOUND OUT SHE TRIED TO RETURN A $2000 CHECK FROM PAUL AT THE SAME TIME HER FIN. OFFICER TOLD PAUL TO TRANSFER $100,000 WORTH OF STOCK TO HER WORKING FOR FAMILIES GROUP. I TELL YOU THIS THING IS A MESS. BUT DON'T LISTEN TO ME READ IT FOR YOURSELF. MAYBE THIS IS WHY SHE WONT RELEASE HER TAXES…YOU THINK?

Hey everybody!! Clinton supporters, Obama supporters (like myself), Democrats, everyone!!

Look…. Let's focus on supporting our candidate, not tearing down the other candidates. I see the same amount of Obama and Clinton supporters claiming the media has an AWFUL bias against their candidate. While I have my own thoughts on this, I'm going to call a draw on the bias of the media since so many people have differing views on it. I think everyone else should too.

What else.. Um.. OH! Let's be positive. In the end we need to be united! It'll be hard for me to vote for Hillary Clinton, but if that's what it comes down to.. I mean.. I guess that's what it will come down to.

Hey
