She is the most qualified and her plan will help every American in this country. If Obama has divided the country now ,what will happen if he is President. I am not ready for a president that has only been a Senator for 2 years. I personally think he is very arrogant. I think he will be the President of the elite in this country and not the people.

She just told a pack of lies about her pathetic trip to Bosnia just to make herself look important, and feigned memory loss when the media called her on her lies with vivid video footage. Even if you want to stick your head in the sand and believe she is honest (shudder) and dignified (more shudder), do you really want to vote for a 60 year old PERSON who is suffering from acute memory loss? Will THAT make a dependable commander-in-chief to answer the call "at 3 a.m.?" Clinton is not honest, nor is she dignified.

Why can't America get over skin color, and concentrate on the qualities of the candidates? If Obama were green, yellow, or blue, I would still change my political affiliation (err...I am currently a registered Republican) and vote for him, should he win the nomination. So hurry up Hillary. Quit, so America can get on with its life. The media must stop polling Americans based on race. Why can't America get over skin color, and concentrate on the qualities of the candidates?

I think the superdelegates should keep their traps shut to about Clintons remarks. They can play God with who they want for the nominee, but not in the general election. Obama needs Clinton supporters to win the Presidency and if ticked off they will go to McCain. Maybe the heading should have read are Americans ready for a non-experienced President.

Too bad Obama does not possess any of those traits. He'll never make it in the general election. By the way, Obama claims to be a Christian? Excuse me, there is nothing Christian about his pastor, mentor, friend, and member of his campaign. No Christian minister would spew the hate for his country and fellow man as Rev. Wright has done consistently. For 20 years, Obama sat in a pew, listening and agreeing until he got caught. Now he wants us to all believe he's had a change of heart and can suddenly distance himself from Wright's rhetoric. Notice, he has not distanced himself from his racist, America-hating mentor, just his rhetoric. And so many of you empty heads bought it.

Also, why did Obama call for Don Imus resignation for the comments he made, but not call for the resignation of his Pastor. He still has not answered the question of WHY he stayed in that church. Also, I am so sick of the media not asking Obama the tough questions about why he didn't leave the church. He was on Chris Matthews last nite & was asked why he didn't leave the church. As usual, he didn't answer the question & Chris Matthews let him off the hook. Chris is so goo goo ga ga for Obama. Thats why now I just turn to Fox news. At least they aint scared of Obama.

Its just too sensitive a question to be answered honestly. If your phone rang, and a black voice at the other end asked that question, how would you answer? Some people will say "yes" instead of how they really feel, either because they feel intimidated or feel they must be "politically correct". I think the real percentage is 40-55%, no more.

It is more about the myth of the man. Cold hard logic and taking the time to do research is what has a lot of us uneasy. I honestly think we have grown up in this country and understand that gender and color are not and should not be a deciding factor on anything. Most democrats that have been around for a while understand that there aren't going to be any big changes. Going on a tour and turning a run for the presidency into American Idol works. People love to hear hope and problem solving. But's it's an empty promise mostly. The next few years are going to be tough enough without people suffering huge disappointment, which is what seems to be coming next if this guy gets in with such huge expectations waving in the wind.
