must feel some sort of pressure- wait til he's the nominee and the fun really begins!
Great week of Colbert. Awesome Chili-delphia coverage in the City of Brotherly Crunch.
OBAMA WAS THE BOMB!!!! WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!
Great episode. John Edwards was a nice (and hilarious) surprise. I almost thought he would endorse Obama on the show. That would've been fantastic! As it was, with Stephen Colbert, Patrick Murphy, and Obama himself, we had plenty of "O-Train" support.
Obama '08
Obama has a much better shot at winning the general election. Many Repubs will vote for Obama. Not one will vote for Hillary.
I find it funny that Obama refused to go on Colbert... Until he found out Hillary was going to be on there. Then all of the sudden it was worthy of the messiahs time.
Hillary/Edwards 08!
Maybe Obama will complain more about last night's debate – poor Obama – nobody offered him a pillow or asked if he was comfortable. He finally got some tough questions and he crumbled.
There is a typo in the article. Obama "will participate", not "will participated".
hummmm....
Does Hillary have any Brothers? I wonder where they are..... she's framing herself as th only child.... I wonder why..... oh brothers oh brothers... where art thou brothers??????
Colbert and Obama should swap places on tonight's show. I'd rather hear Stephen mock the campaign process than more of the same chants and rhetoric from Obbie.
At least Stephen is a paid comedian. Obama... is just a joke.
Dude,
vote 3rd party...somebody, anybody
Your hopelessly lost Robert. Great show that was, you can tell Obama was the favorite on the show, they saved the best for last!
Patrick Murphy was the star of the show tonight – his endorsement of Obama as a veteran of Iraq, bron in Philly, and now in the Senate -it was powerful.
Thanks for the heads up. I need to lighten up after lasts night's debate and my day today.
I was at meeting today and my foster daughter was told that all the programs designed to help her transition to independent living had been cut.
Instead of the despair that kind of statement has usually caused me, I thought, "Well, by the time she graduates High School Barack Obama may be President."
It was an interesting show.
This is my first comment. For the record, I notice many Clinton supporters state that if she doesn't win the nomination, they will vote for McCain.
Well, the Democratic Party will be even worse off not nominating Obama after winning the most pledged delegates and popular vote. Clinton would not win in November because Independents decide the elections in swing states; they either favor Obama or McCain. Clinton would only win the "blue" states while McCain would win every other state.
Obama is the only candidate that is able to win both "blue", and purple states this November because of his popularity among independents. He can even make red states competitive.
I am being logical; but Clinton is only more popular among Democrats, not both Democrats and Independents. Essentially, he doesn't need the votes of Democrats to win.
I could not vote for a divisive person for president. So as an Independent, I will take either Obama or McCain this november.

It looks that Senator Obama skipped on Colbert. He sent one of his surrogates. It looks he was upset at his lack luster performance on the ABC debate. He was afraid of Stephen asking him some 'Elite" questions.
robert-new york:
What did Barack steal from Billary? Today Billary was using Obama's lines from last night.
I sent my tax refund check of $965 to him two weeks ago. And if he needs it, I'll send whatever I get for my "rebate". Can someone enlighten me as to what the maximum an individual can send into a candidate? Thanks.
Billary will be lucky to get re-elected to the Senate next time she's up. HA! Maybe she'll quit when she loses this race... ya know, like some of the republicans have done since they lost the majority in 2006. Most people figure that was her only reason for running for it in the first place.
Obama and Edwards were hilarious.
I think the whole thing might have been a 'Gotcha' moment against Hillary. She really came across old and tired. I imagine she thought she was going to get the funny lines, but hers were pretty dull and expected.
Obama rocked.
Hello out there, Im talking to the super delegates. Are they listening to Obama put his foot in his mouth. The next day, I believe , after someone tells him what to say he always comes up with excuses.
As even Bush knows ,we have a saying in Tennessee. be sure brain is in motion before putting mouth into gear. How the delegates can even think of voteing for someone so slow to think is beyound me. If He is elected president and he makes one of his famous blunders, i am afraid we will get a missile up our red white and blue flag. Wake up, you know who is the bet person for the job, Now do what you were elected to do. Frances in Tenessee.
PS if Hillary is old hat and he wants change, i guess we will say good b.y to most of you old hats.
Oh Robert, you're adorable!
John Edwards stole the show! Hearing from him again was a breath of fresh air. Obama had better at least appoint him Secretary of State.
Obama is too busy at his rallies getting comfort from the obamabots after his brutal spanking in the debate.
That is why he wont debate anymore because it makes him look dumb.
Hillary should go ahead and do the scheduled debate on CBS Saturday and invite McCain.
Kind of a warm up before she takes him on in the general election.
Is this going to influence any voters?

I can't wait to hear about the issues these candidates believe in, in a humorous way! Colbert's nonsensical humor of ridiculous beliefs mimic the current Republican administration and mock them all the same. I think it'll be interesting to see Barack have a good time with this and Clinton get mocked with her dry humor!
