There is no trade agreement with india or China and this is where all your jobs are going. Companies like Cap Gemini and IBM are happily moving jobs to these and other lower paying countries while everybody looks at Canada and Mexico. How come none of the contenders for the Presidency are talking about keeping American jobs in America. If the Pols dont want to do this, then ordinary people need to get together and start purchasing American made products only and stop purchasing cheap, potentially hazzardous products from countries where labour and environmental laws do not exist.

I prefer to like the person inspite of their short comings. No one really knows who Hilliary is because she has made up so many stories. It amazes me that senior citizens, white females and uneducated people are drawn to her. According to her tax report, her relative received a loan which has to be paid back with interest. How many of you treat your family this way? She states that she fired Penn but she has others in her camp working on the same deal. Do you honestly believe that these people are working for nothing. Most of the superdelegates that she has is because they owe Bill from when he was president and they are currently paying him back. I hope that the governor of PA was wrong in stating that his citizens would be more concern about race and not vote for a black man. Just remember, he is not totally black, just half. Vote OBAMA!

We've watched her campaign for longer than any other primary since the dawn of the 24 hour cable news and internet blogging world. We see that she's got money problems, poor leadership, no control over her people... She can't perform so poorly in the primary and expect the superdelgates to reward her with their vote. All she can do from here on is drag out Wright for the right and damage our nominee before the Republicans can even take a shot. Lol & others- how come she can't put Obama away?

The average PA voter has no idea that Hillary told the folks in Illinois she was from Illinois. Or that she told the folks in Arkansas she was from Arkansas. The average PA voter hears a sound bite about her being from PA and feels a bond. Which is why Hillary knows she can get away with it, with the average PA voter (or any average voter). Hopefully, the superdelegates can see through it though. To those posters above who say the voters of PA wil see through this, I say: No. They won't.

Instead of throwing knives at people that hate Clinton you should ask why they hate her so much. As for not voting for Obama because of people who post on this site, try not voting for Obama because of the issues. If you vote for McCain to spite Obama, you are not a true democrat. Think about it. Obama is actually more liberal that Hillary. Yet you would vote for McCain over Hillary? It’s people like you that supported a President who got us into this mess. All because you are bitter that a majority of people chose Obama over Hillary for various reasons, a great number of which complain that she is a habitual liar and con-artist? Don’t hate the people who felt they got cheated. So it is true; Republicans are heartless and Democrats are brainless. Watching you democrats fight and bicker is so funny.
