Mr. Patterson:

This sounds like it could have been the topic of a question from last night's ABC debacle, I mean debate.

Welcome to the winning team!

There GOes another one…. dawg i wish he was a super

OBAMA 08

Of course this isn't important to Clintonites. Congrats OBAMA. Look for the surge of Super Delegates to come soon.

How is Obama going to change Washington when he's friends with everyone? You ever wonder why Obama gets so many political endorsements? Is it because he's the quote-unquote front runner? Or are the backstabbers running their hands together and hoping they can get this puppet president elected?

The trains leaving and Hillary supporters are being left behind!

The Republicans are setting Obama up for the big let down.. Obama is target, The republicans wants him because Mccain can and will beat him come Nov. Either way if Hilary is not on ticket I and many Like me will be voting for Mccain

Hilary 08

Republicans all seem to want Obama to be the nominee………Gee wonder why? Oh that's easy he looks pretty shaky right now, and news from the Rezko trial, is giving more questions about Obama rather than answers!

With him comes the EPA? Ruckelshaus is a good endorsement.

that's why this man should be presidents…I have not seen a republican endorse hillary.

SOB, SOB SOB.

THIS IS NOT RIGHT! WHY AMERICA DO LIKE A CROOKED WOMAN?

WE LOVE YOU HILLARY

HILLARY 08

obama is a uniter.i hope more republicans and independents come together,and join us,to take our government back,from the 'dirty' politicians,of both parties.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN FOR OBAMA-

SUPERDELEGATES TAKE NOTE!!

see this, people….

“Senator Obama’s ability to attract not only Democrats, but also Republicans and Independents, makes him uniquely qualified to build the broad coalitions needed to address our nation’s challenges,” said Ruckelshaus in a statement.

it's called RATIONAL THOUGHT…

enough with the B.S. !

Obama is definitely going to attract independent and republicans!

Well - at least those people that are not "typical white people" or bitterly clinging to guns or God.

Where is McCain flag pin or Bill Clinton's or Charlie Gibson's or Bush's? Look at McCain's own webstie - no flag pin. So why in the world is this an important issue for Obama? Why is it so important that ABC's Gibson asks it BEFORE any policy questions in last nights debate? Do they think we are stupid?

Way to go! Thank you! Hillary - and the media - keep attacking Obama!
The more heat you put on him the better! It' funny that he gets endorsements each time and I love it! Go Obama!

Everyone knows that Obama will make a Great President !!

AHH a Man of Honor and Principle. We need poeple who will not be bullied and he has proved his mettle.

Now ClintonBots will tear into him like THEY have done ANYTHING to help our nation.

Thank you Mr. Ruckelshaus.

Now CNN this is a reall story.

Just goes to show that prominent republicans are not afraid to SUPPORT Obama. This is not true of Hillary. She has republicans who don't like McCain but couldn't care less about her. I guess there are a lot of Hillary supporters who will go and join McCain's flip-flop express when Obama wins the nomination.

GO OBAMA!!!!

(what is all that noise about him not being electable?!?!? HE BRINGS THEM ALL IN, REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDATS ETC…

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!

????????????????????????????????????????

Wow…!

Obama sure has a lot of questionable friends…

Obama lied last night in the debate..He claimed his writing was never on the questionarie about hang guns. He answered YES..He lied last night when asked.

MORE. MORE. MORE.

wow, there are those dissolussioned republicans that are not buying into Hillary crap. Thank you sir for doing the right thing!

Way to go Mr. William D. Ruckelshaus. You must have got sick and bitter with the so called Conservative False Christians. God bless you heart you did the right thing.

. . . .There are a lot of Republicans that will back Senator Obama.
Hillary and McCain have proven that they just don't have what it takes to
be Commander in Chief. I am happy that Hillary finally admitted that
Senator Obama IS electable("yes, yes, yes"}. Now let's go ahead and
end this thing.

Yes We Can.

LOL, Watergate….just like Obama…all crooks!!

I can still see Richard Nixon saying " I am not a crook"!!! LMAO

Anybody watched that debate last night?

How low will this thing get? I mean, really!!!

Hillary and ABC are so ridiculous and I was just moved by Obama's strong stance on what makes America's only true hope.

I'm no democrat, but I'm moved

YES WE CAN !!!!!

The Republicans are setting Obama up for the big let down.. Obama is target, The republicans wants him because Mccain can and will beat him come Nov. Either way if Hilary is not on ticket I and many Like me will be voting for Mccain

Hilary 08

Thank you for supporting Obama,,

Yes WE Can..

Obama '08

Has this guy spent the past 30 plus years smoking crack and living in a truck?

What about the free enterprise that has created not only American wealth but wealth around the world? What about the millions of jobs created in America–at a time when manufacturing and formerly carreer vocations–were in decline?

This guy shoud have stayed home and nursed his Tequila–rather than trying to endorse a new error or Marxist/ socialist economics onto the American citizenry.

What a dolt.. He was on the wrong side then..and he's still on the wrong side. Guess it must take a lot to be a CAREER loser.

This republican is backing Obama, cause he knows Obama will be the looser in the general election against McCain

HILLARY - PRESIDENT OFTEH UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Btwy, if you have not realized, many republicans or independent leaning republicans votes for Obama not cause he is a uniter, but cause he is the weakest against the GOP

VOTE DEMOCRAT-VOTE FOR CLINTON

Great!Obama08

Shame on you,Hillary Clinton!
Shame on you!Meet me in PA on April 22 where we will have the result of your trash campaigning!

Signed Monica Lewinsky's friend.

fred - you idiot! Did you even read the article?! Ruckelhaus was responsible for the investigation into Watergate.

Wha do you see Hillary and staff about this endorsement after the last night debate ?

Who is this guy. And isn't he republican. Is he afraid to have McCain go up against Hillary in the GE. GOP for Obama. Makes no sense.

There is a diffrence between being "educated" vs. being "learned."

After reading 95% of the notes (blogs) on CNN, here are some conclusions:

1. Hillary's supporters may be learned, but they are not educated. That is, they show gross negligence in doing research to uncover the truth.

2. Majority of Hillary's supporters write using "uppercase" letters, suggesting that they are rude, bitter, and inconsiderate.

3. Like their candidate, most of Obama supporters are very humble and put this nation "first". Wealth and greed are seen as secondary or remote issues.

Obama is the only candidate who appeals to Republicans and Independents, as well as Democrats!

Yes We Can!

Obama 08

To preempt all of the idiots who don't realize that Ruckelshaus was fired by Nixon for NOT capitulating to his demands to fire the special prosecutor into Watergate… from Wikipedia, "Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; he also refused and resigned in protest."

This guy bravely stood up to Nixon and lost his job.

The facts that Obama appeals to all people is being lost in this vitriol of the "attack and spin" politics. If anyone is in doubt of this, all they had to do is watch that ridiculous excuse of a debate last night. If this keeps up we'll be right back where we were in 2004 where we'll get what we deserve… another Bush in the White House.

That was the most disgraceful piece of journalism that I have ever witnessed in my life. IF there are any other debates, I say Ken Starr ought to be one of the moderators. Seems to me that would be as fair as having Billary's buddy and ex-Senior Adviser be a moderator.

Maybe George has a future with the National Enquirer. Everyone ought to go to the ABC News website and take a gander at what the response has been to them. I checked it out an hour after the debate and there was over 13,000 comments that blasted ABC News about the unprofessional nature of this event. It's like the New York Times stated of the front page this morning, The real loser of the debate at Constitution Hall… ABC News.

Like John Kerry, Obama will punt the ball back to the Republicans in November. We need to go with Hillary Clinton. Of course the Republicans want Obama. He is bleeding in a shark filled ocean.

Congrats to Sen. Clinton on winning the debate on ABC. I now know I do not want the same old politics…..OBAMA '08

YES WE CAN!!

That is the change obama is talking about

Oh, fred.

This is amazing. Who said he was unelectable? Wait…. I think that was just another one of Hillary's misspoken comments. Reaching across party lines is a proven quality needed in the next commander in chief!!

Nice job Bill…. Hat's off to you…
Operation Chaos is in full swing… We have got to get Obama the nomination… cause he will get destoyed in the General.

Smooth… very smooth!

At least one Hoosier politician (it says his homestate) is getting it right publicly!! I'm voting for Obama and trying to sway everyone I know. I've even talked my uncle into voting Democrat in the Primary so we can defeat Hillary!!!

Fred, your comment doesn't make any sense. Maybe you should reread this aricle and try again.

Somebody tell me if the fat lady is singing or starting to sing.

Ha Ha Ha

Another great endorsement for Obama. A crazy republican that participated in watergate thinks Obama will be great. This is almost as good as the Kerry endorsement … kiss of death !!!

hILLARY-McCAIN '08

HOW PATHETIC OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE ATTACKING CHARLIE GIBSON!

OBAMA SUPPORTERS GROW UP STOP WHINING.

THE MALE OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHO LOVE OBAMA TAKE IT LIKE ROCK HUDSON!!!!

oooooobaaaaaaaaammmmma will win 08

Hmmm…what is he up to now? Obama be careful.

Elite Obama should return the 200.00 dollars that this Ayers guy donated to his campaign and he should reject and denounce him for living in his community and breathing the same air as all the rest of us. That should satisfy the Clintons.

However, the poor Clintons should return the 800,000.00 dollars the Columbians gave to Clinton to help promote the free trade agreement. Then they should tell the truth as to why they backed NAFTA and China PTR…..

That would be fair…..Right?

"fred" made a statement so uniformed and historically wrong I can't resist responding. As the story on the Ruckelshaus endorsement points out, his connection to Watergate is that he joined his boss, AG Elliott Richardson in refusing to go along with President Nixon's attempt to subvert the Constitution. President Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate cover-up. He resigned because it was clear he was on the way to being impeached. Mr. Ruckelshaus showed remarkable integrity and courage when many others showed neither.

Hey Fred, did you read the article? The point is that Ruckleshaus was "not a crook" because he fought against the attempt to cover up Watergate. Before "liberal" became a dirty word, there were many thoughtful and liberal Republicans and Obama is very good at appealing to them.

Way to go Sen. Obama!!!!!!!!

Hillary tries her best to trash you, and what happens?

What is that saying? Oh yes I remember!

"The Cream Rises To The Top"!

YES HE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a retaliation to the Republican party?

Another looser endorsing a looser.

Hillary '08

Looks like some of the good old boys club are showing their colours, if they can get Obama on the Dem ticket, MR. McCain will have no problem beating him, but if Hillary gets the Dem nomination ticket, Mr Mcain could not beat her, so with CNN and a few of the other networks being members of the good old boys club, Mr McCain will be the next president for sure!

Truth shall set you free… how true. Now is the time that democrats supporting 'Hillary Clinton' must realize that their vote for 'Hillary' is perhaps a waste of time. Sooner they back 'Obama' the better it is for all democrats.

Go 'Obama' go!

A.M. Saqib
Houston, Texas

Can anyone remember the last person to come out and support Hillary?Maybe the piad actors on the TV adds?

Excellent News! We only can make progress when we work together !

Hillary supporters SHOUT and write in CAPS!
This is not the way to win a debate or argument!

"Obama is a uniter"

then why can't he unite the democratic party??

Welcome! To Obama 08′

I received my income tax refund this morning, and I'm sending it to Barack Obama's campaign. I doing this becasue I know when Obama becomes our next president, the return on that investment will be much higher than that of Hillary or McCain.

Can you imagine something like that happening for Hillary Clinton ?

Looks like another Rovian type trick. Beware.

Good thought Senator!! You are going to help to put the right man on the right job. Congratulations to Senator Obama ,"THE UNITER" !!!
OBAMA 2008-2012 !!!

I can only wonder how Hillary will handle the rude shock of defeat by an unknown, 'supposedly' inexperienced dude named BARAK OBAMA.
This guy came out of nowhere.
Unfortunately, politics is a game of numbers, Hillary should keep running. I know that reality will set in for her pretty soon, which is, she's not going to be the nominee. Period.

WOW!

WOW. Talk about crossing over on the other side. Barack breaks barriers, and proves he can UNITE.

Obama 08.

Although this is a Republican attached to the Nixon name, it is for being the opposite of Nixon - "He and his boss, Attorney General Elliot Richardson, were fired after they refused Nixon’s order to dismiss the independent counsel investigating the Watergate break-ins."

Ruckelshaus seems like a strong, principled person that did the right thing in the face of the most powerful opposition. Sounds like Obama is someone that he could envision doing the same thing as president, and in doing so moving the country forward in a new direction.

No matter how much the paid Obama posters try to spin this, bottom line is: Hillary Clinton destroyed Obama in the debate last night. And ABC is the only network to ask the tough questions to both candidates. Thank you Charles and George. Great Job!
Of course this post will not make it past the Obama-CNN moderators - but the most important thing is they know how the American voters feel. If Obama wins the nomination - Clinton supporters WILL NOT vote for Obama. You can count on that. Keep on sending out those attack posts - it will push that 26% up to 30%.
Post this CNN.

This is what Hillary can't do, unite across party lines. Her evil tactics to do everything within her power to win in the primary is pathetic. If this is what she considers the way politics is played, then her performance in the white House will be detrimental to our country.

See even these people have the good sense to welcome change. we need to get on and fix our country and Hillary will only give us some more of the same as Bush did in the 7 plus years. Bill and George are the same man only in different bodies. drug addicts never look into the source of the divisions in the self. they look out side for the problems we are a sick nation. healing us needs to take place now

Welcome Obamacans.

People are crazy with statements like the Rep want Obama not Clintion she can win. Is she winning now? Answer No. Stop the BS faces the facts. She is losing. If she can not beat Obama then how can she beat McCain? Apply the same answer to Obama. Talk with facts

Yes We Can!

Obama '08

I wish people would stop saying if my candidate does not get the nomination I will vote for McCain.

Wake up you idiots and stop acting like children. McCain means 4 or 8 more years of what we have.

If my demoncratic candidate does not get the nomination, I will still vote for the democratic nominee., I make not like her but she is still better than more of the same…. Its our future!

We Obama supporters should take a vow of silence and just let Hillary supporters let out their frustrations and bitterness as they watch Obama get closer and closer to the White House!

No matter how anyone tries to spin it: STICK A FORK IN HILLARY!

How come ABC were not prepared to ask any question of interest to PAs. They were only intent on bringing Obama down. They had a good try but failed woefully.

If they thought they were doing Clinton a favour, they missed the point because they ended up opening more arsenic on her side. PA, please let us move on we ve so much more things to bring us together than to divide us.

This is our chance to prove that point in America and no ABC diddler shall deter us!

Only goes to show you that God dosen't like ugly and thats what ABC did last night. I tought I was watching FOX NEWS. Obama did quite well last night he showed he could handle the attack. Too bad for PA. wish they would have gotten a real debate last night. Not a FOX NEWS/ABC hit job on Obama.

Is everyone out there stupid?

The republicans really want Obama to be the nominee because

they know without a doubt McCain will beat him in the election

Wow… Republicans and Dems coming together?

OBAMA '08

How can Ruckelshaus support Obama? He is betraying his country. Shame on you, Ruckelshaus.

Hillari and Nader 2008

Why so much hate and name calling?

Isn't the end goal what is best for the country?

A divided party will not stand in November but crumble under it's own weight.

People stop the insanity.

Stand as one or fall as many.

The choice is up to you.

Make it count!

Please post, we need this to end.

Woot WTG!!! Seems Hillary's negatives are a positive for the Obama campaign.. WE welcome you Mr. Superdelegate….

Obama 08

I wonder why the Republicans are starting to endorse Obama… after last night… I would not be suprised to see a flood of them come across…

Both of the Democratic Candidates are done!!!

Obama fell flat on his face last night and it was awful to watch… I think the Democratic Party is in real trouble especially with both candidates locking themselves in on Iraq and taxes…

I can not even put into words what Obama was thinking about with his tax plan, capital gains, etc… His example with a secretary and her boss??? I guess he forgot that the money used had been earned and taxed all ready… it then gets taxed again at the 15%…

It seems now that the GOP has been handed the election or at least their platform for the general!!!

To preempt all of the idiots who don't realize that Ruckelshaus was fired by Nixon for NOT capitulating to his demands to fire the special prosecutor into Watergate… from Wikipedia, "Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; he also refused and resigned in protest."

This guy bravely stood up to Nixon and lost his job.

Hey Ben:

I was just about to note this, but you beat me to it. You know, for some of you HIllary supporters, silence, both for her and you, really is golden.

And Hillary's castle comes tumbling down…..

This is off topic but I ask you…Where the heck is Hillary's China made flag pin?? If she wants to stand up there and act like one of the boys she should be expected to wear her dang pin too. Or is it because shes a WOMAN that she don't have to wear or be asked about a stupid lapel pin. Maybe she has on her American Flag panties.

we're sick and tired of all the delegates and super-delegates voting for OBAMA. We're sick and tired of it. You people need to vote for hillary now… or else.

Hillary and Nader for America.

Yesterday's "debate" was a disgrace way to treat president Obama.

Thanks for the endorsement.

Ruckelshaus……….you are on the losing team.

Obama insulted the people of Pennsylvania…….and who wants a president who slams the American people?

Then, to top it off, he 'made light of it'……basically laughing in their faces.

At the debate, he skipped around on answering questions.

HILLARY 08!

HILLARY 08!!

HILLARY 08!!!

Thank you Mr. Ruckelshaus.

A man of integrity who stood up to one of the most corrupt presidents in U.S. history is a welcomed supporter. I wonder why he didn't endorse Senator Clinton. Oh, that's right: INTEGRITY!

charlene, you are 100% correct!!

Obama = NO YOU CAN'T!!!

Where is Oprah???? Maybe she is with their minister counting all of Obamas lobby and pac money!!!

I really hope this will start to show people Obama can bring people together, no matter the political background.

I forgot to mention that a huge story about Rezko is going out… get ready for more problems Obama…

Testimony linked Obama to a dinner party with some radicals that supported Sadam…

I stand by my earlier comment they both are done!!!

Yes We Can take back the White House, take back the Country, and unite the people, and bring back the respect from the rest of the world.
Change is happening… I can feel it.
Pennsylvania… DONT MISS THE TRAIN

You vote on Tues… make it happen

Well we all saw the pile on at ABC at it sure has lived up to its name

The All
Bill
Clinton

News Network.

I guess old George had his arm bent. I never seen a debate more worried on nonsense then real issues.

Rev. Wright is not paying for my gas. A flag pin is not helping with insurance. And William Ayers is not helping the economy.

I hope ABC GOES BUST along with it 2 clown anchors.

I least the million dollar man Charles Gibson was worried about his taxes.

SHAME ON ABC!

Good for Sen. Obama!

He deserves it after last nights mugging by the ABC hit squad. He was clearly disgusted w/the biased commentators and questions. it was pure nonsense, but he held his composure. Very presidential. And not to worry, the primaries don't really reflect what happens in the general election. It's not going to be as close as the media is saying between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. The democratic party and the movement Sen. Obama has created is going to explode at the convention and he's going to surprise everyone by winning blue and red states convincingly!

This is great news

Keep on talkin Hillary, keep on talkin

I am a red blooded, hunting, evengelical formerly from the Red heart of America (nebraska). This week I changed my registration to the democratic party and have started volunteering at the Obama campaign here in Portland. I am bitter about the last 8 years as well.

I believe Obama offers a unifing presence in the Whitehouse.

Do you see any cross-over like this for Hillary?

Take it for what it is, but I am a lifelong republican truly and fully for Obama.

Jump on board. Hillary is done for. Pennsylvanians cannot be fooled.

OBAMA 08′

wow Fred. Did you read the article? I mean, do you know what role William D. Ruckelshaus played during the Watergate? Can't the Clinton supporters do a little research before they tear down Obama and anyone who endorses him?

If Pennsylvainia votes for Obama then screw it… we might as well drop out. Until then…

Hillary and Nader, suckas!

PA - well written, that was my thought as well regarding the flag pin - neither one of them (McSame or Illary) wears it. is just because he is a black man he cant truly be loyal to his country.

I'm really beginning to get fed up with this pettiness just to try to drag a good candidate down.

Awww CNN I know you must be disappointed about the debate last night, but really it IS news and maybe you should report on it? I know it's hard, when your boy Obama got stomped on by Hillary, but you know as a NEWS network that it's hard for you to ignore. Though by today's headlines you are trying. I guess I'll just suggest here that everyone go to a REAL news network, like MSNBC, Fox, USA Today, or the New York Times to read about the beating that Barack took last night. Funny how little we know about the guy that is coming to light now, oh well, that shouldn't be a surprise at all, should it? Most of his supporters had NEVER EVEN HEARD HIS NAME before last fall

Six out of ten Americans don't trust Hillary Clinton! What does that tell you? Obama is the only choice for all of us. Let's get it right this time and vote for Barack Obama! Thank you for your endorsement, William!

I think this is great will Mr. William D. Ruckelshaus campaign for Senator Obama? Will he stand with Senator Obama if the answer is yes. I think wth is great.

Isn't it great that this man can bring both parties together to make a better America for ALL PEOPLE. Welcome aboard the Obama-machine.

OBAMA '08′

Three words… "bringing people together for a better tomorrow" ohh my bad.. those are seven words, but who cares… this is proof than he is above and beyond petty party politics and even the Republicans and Independents can see it, way to GO! Obama!

LOL, Watergate….just like Obama…all crooks!!

I can still see Richard Nixon saying " I am not a crook"!!! LMAO
.
.
. OK Fred, let's read carefully first, This Gentle was against NIxon so , like Obama, he has integrity.

This just proves the reason why Obama is the better candidate of all three remaining. This has the real potential to be the first administration and congress that get things done.

I cant believe that Hillary is determined to tear this man down when there is no way mathmatically that she can win. If you dont believe me check out the delegate calculator on CNN's Politics front page.

Hillary is not likely to get any Republican endorsment, which makes me believe that under a Billary admistration nothing will ever get done.

Republicans like Hillary because of her negatives and believe she will lose to McCain, no one trusts her. One republican sees the big picture of working together to achieve rather than "going toe to toe" fighting over issues.
Obama 08

It's a set-up. The republicans want Obama to win.

How can anyone say she won the debate (questionable) it's like saying that you won a golf game when you are given a handicap (George & Buddy) ?? Fair ?? I think Obama once again took the high road. He should have just walked away and had a press conference with the Trashy Tabloids, he probably would have had better questions. What was that about no applause and the shots of Chelsea tearing up? Just poor journalism.

Now it would be nice to see more delegates come out before the PA primary. ABC is now the laughing stock here in Jamestown,PA. Where are Hillarys and Billy bobs papers on who donated to his Library. We know they are from China , Dubai, Saudies and much more . Just like she said to Bill in 1995 Bill you dont owe those people in the south nothing . Man that should go over big . Why arent he reporter going to see that she is lying again about the cottage at the lake outside of Scranton PA. Duck Hunting bull , she said Bill took her rabbit hunting in Ak. that was the first time she hunted . She wants to take our guns from all of us . She wants a photo license of everyone who has a gun so they can come and take them . People do your homework. As far as health care goes it will never happen . You will be mandated to buy it or face stiff penaties . The people i know here in PA said they will vote for Obama . Vote the way your heart tells you .

The Hillary voters who vow to vote for McCain when she finally loses the nomination will have only themselves to blame when - surprise - Pres. McCain is the polar opposite of them on every issue of substance –the war, health care, the ecomomy. A year from now no one will remember Wright, or Bosnian snipers, but if McC wins, plenty of Americans will be "bitter." Why do the Republicans usually win? Because they are smart enough to vote for their candidate, even if he is not with them on every point, or even if they don't like him personally. You watch - Limpaugh and all the conservatives who say they don't like McCain will vote for him, and love him, when the chips are down in November, laughing all the way to the White House on the backs of disillusioned Hillary supporters. It is like voting for Nader. Stupid and self destructive. Wake up.

I am not surprise at the end of this primaries Hillary will address Obama with hight respect and A humble man for the president.

She has thrown everything as you all know at him ,but he has always get away with them. The fact that he still respect Hillary eventhough Hillary would have destroyed him if the pain was on her shoes.

You don't know how bless Americans are to have Obama has their future president. He is very respectful, honest that he is not perfect, eventhough his supporters will like him to be hard on Hillary, but he see the other side of her.

None of us know that they still contect each other and they are on senate together.

Yes many people want Hillary to claim her husband credits ,but she shouldn't be responsible for Bill actions. You can't have it both ways either you are for it or against it.
She surely has more luggage that people can exploit against her, but she failed to acknowledge her wrong doing and attacked Obama.
If Obama starts to attack Hillary as the Republican will do, Hillary will have no where to turn to.
Lots of wrong doing on the Clintons hands, every thing good , bad and the ugly are in the Clintons arms.

Why do my comments always get "moderated " out, when idiot serial posters like CHERYL FOR HILLARY!!!!! get through? Do I need to use all caps and lots of exclamation points? more typos? less substance? who is running this thing?

Dear "fred" (2:25 pm post):

Since your post has generated multiple smack-downs in response, I am writing to offer you a hug. We all make mistakes. Don't worry about it.

-Forgiving Obama supporter

Thank you! This endorsement is so representative of what I love about Obama. Obama inspires people in all party of our current political divide. Obama will be such a unifying force in America.

Yes we Can! Obama 2008!

I'm sorry-but Obama showed me his colors when he chose rev wright –"someone that would like to see God damm the United States"-instead of standing up for my country.

A person like that,will never get my vote-even if i have to vote for mc caine.

God bless this beautiful United States Of America !!!

How interesting. A republican is backing a democrat's run for president. How many republicans are backing Hillary? When is this race going to end? No wonder so few people want to run for president. Each candidate has added 10 years to their life just this year. Look at Hillary. I feel sorry for her, and I think either her or Obama will make good presidents, but I feel like its time to unify the party and work together towards November. Besides, John McCain is bored. He has nothing better to do than plagarize recipes off the web.

Any red-blooded American who would back Obama, is no American at all!

OK OBAMA HAS GOTTEN:

1 REPUBLICAN ENDORSEMENT
1 "SMALL TOWN" FROM OKLAHOMA SUPERDELEGATE Reggie Whitten
1 MORE SUPERDELEGATE FROM WASHINGTON DC THAT SWITCH FROM CLINTON TO OBAMA by the name of HARRY THOMAS……………

actually i believe its a total of 5 superdelegates that obama has recieved the week!!! umhhhh so all hrc supporters and critics please tell me how she is gaining ground?! i really want to hear this

sorry critics and hrc game is almost over all of this occured after that rigged debate last night on ABC…

honesty and intergrity prevails!!!!!!!!!

Keep em coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Obama! The more Hillary attack you the better you will be as president and a world leader! Thank you
William! And - my biggest thanks goes to ABC-The Penn Debate! You did a great job putting Obama to the test! This is what we need in a true leader!
And————— To Hillary - thank you for saying that yes, yes, and yes that Obama can win! Yes we can and we will!

Awesome.

great news for not only Barack but all of us the American people.
Hillary GET OUT. Your NOT honest GET OUT NOW.

Hmm? Have any of your Hillary supporters who say Obama can't win ever heard of this concept called polling? According to about 38 of the last 41 polls, Obama runs better against McCain. Polling is not perfect, but it sure beats spouting off in ignorance.

Obama in '08

We need this man.

Of course Republicans back Obama. They know they can beat him in the general election!

Hillary Clinton or John McCain 08

to:

we anterior Hillary, not mccain…screw him.=go back to school. There is a reason they are abandoning ship….its because they cant stop the Obamatrain. He is the clear choice for a better future.

Annie O — "awesome."
marine - "????????????????"
bacusla - "yes we can"
these brilliant observations get through your sophisticated filter, while mine are 100% deleted? this is a joke. OK. PLEASE post my remark (the substantive one above). Thank you.

I also thought the debate was biased. Where were the questions about Mark Penn and her egotistical husband. I felt like it was an all out attack on Obama. That's not right. Where were the real questions. Like, "If you will say and do anything to get elected Hillary, what won't you do in the White House?" "Why do you continue to go negative, when you know that that is not what people want to hear?" "When are you going to swallow your pride and support your fellow democrat in his race to the White House, knowing that you have no chance of winning the nomination." It's true! Do the math! She's just trying to make it so that republicans win in November.

Hillary needs to go to one of her so called homes and bake some cookies. It is not her time. Hillary needs to get on the team and stop waisting our time so that Obama can began to build up his war chest to fight the real fight. She is helping McSame more and more every day that she keeps this up. Its time to STOP.

It seems Jack Cafferty is blocking all my blogs because he is so
bias against Hillary.
He wants to make sure there are not too many negatives on this site
about his protical son.

Republicans are supporting Obama because they want him to be the nominee as they know mCcAIN WILL BEAT HIM IN THE ELECTION.
Who said they were stupid???Ya Dumd Like A Fox.

There are two statistics that should be at the top of the list of considerations for superdelegates:

54% of voters have an unfavorable view of HRC

58% of voters say that they do not think HRC is honest and/or trustworthy…

In response to that last point, here is one of the quotes from Hillary last night:
"On several occasions in the last weeks, um, I have made statements which were not in keeping with what I knew to be the case…"

No wonder people don't trust her. Why the heck would any superdelegate think that HRC has a better shot at defeating McCain than Obama? And if those stats aren't enough, take a look at just about any poll, and Obama is polling higher against McCain than Hillary is..

So let's review:

54% unfavorable rating, and 58% don't trust her
She admiited to lying to us on "several occasions"- no surprise there, except maybe that she didn't lie about her lying…
Most polls have Obama doing better against McCain than HRC
Obama will have more pledged delegates
Obama will have won more states by far
Obama will have won the popular vote

Seems like a pretty easy decision for superdelegates to me…

wow JUST WOW!

" I AM NOT A CROOK" HAHAHA

I really hope obama builds that half hoops court in the white house basement and tears out that bowling ally nixon built.
its not 1955 anymore and america knows it time to move on.

Matthew - That is an example of a true leader. We can't get things done if we only do for one group.

trust me the REP are setting themselves up for an easy win. Go ahead and back him all you want….. the DEM will learn in November..

Sort of looks like proof that Obama attracks democrats, independents, republicans of either black, white, or other races and all religions.

Obama is amazing-a true uniter.

Clinton and her cohorts from ABC were absolutely awful to Obama, but he didn't get in the gutter with them. He has shown that he has the kind of temperament we need in a President. We don't want or need Hillary because she is always itching for a fight. She has shown that she has a nasty disposition and she is totally vindictive. Please PA, send her packing with a defeat that will ring around the world. Don't let the world think that Americans will force them to try to work with a fool like Hillary Clinton.

Breaking News (CNN crawl): Little Mikey endorses Obama, even though he usually "hates everything"

I am disappointed that Hilliary Clinton will do anything to destroy the Democratic Party. I once respected her but lately her "elitiest" attitude has made me sad and disappointed. When will it ever end?

Great…

"THERE IS NO BLUE STATES OR RED STATES…WE NEED A REAL UNITED STATES…
Smart people in this country understands the real challenges facing our nation..
Yes, united we can…

Hey - Allen, Lubbock, TX

You are very incorrect. A republican has endorsed Senator Clinton.

His name is John McCain.

HRC should just give it up…. its over now!

Let me get this straight Obamaniacs… a Republican votes for Hillary, it's because they want her to win the nomination because she will lose against McCain. A Republican endorses Obama, it's because times are changing.
That's very interesting. And might I add hypocritic of you all. You're so blinded by Barack's hope ray that you can't see the Republicans are playing the Democrats big time. Unity? Indeed! Ha. Get real.

way to go Obama!

Phenomenal! Go Obama!! You deserve every endorsement you get. I can see why everyone is running from McNasty and Hillabeans!!

OBAMA '08

I hope the Hill-Bill-ies have their ark built… the flood of superdelegates is on the horizon!!!

Can you imagine how she is going to curse the "lunch-bucket democracts" for filth when she loses!!! I wish I could be a fly on the wall… I feel sorry for her supporters.

If you don't STAND for CHANGE, you will FALL for Clinton!!!

no, not that one. the real post - geez. who ties your shoes?

Screw honesty and integrity. Give Hillary the nomination already, you cowards. Screw all of you.

Hillary and nader Now.

I hope the Hill-Bill-ies have their ark built… the flood of superdelegates is on the horizon!!!

Can you imagine how she is going to curse the "lunch-bucket democracts" for filth when she loses!!! I wish I could be a fly on the wall… I feel sorry for her supporters.

If you don't STAND for CHANGE, you will FALL for Clinton!!!

lets see: this man would not do what the president of the united states wanted him to do to cover up: lets see: obama knows or had lunch with someone who did bad things and clinton gave them pardons AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH MONEY. how does that work—i never had what with whom????? but clinton could have been under fire when all those pardons of those people were put in the bank, i mean given out?????? as we say in the south, I UNDERSTAND.

Since Ruckelshaus didn't vote for Hillary, he is obviously NOT IMPORTANT. He's useless and un-electable.

Hillary and Nader.

NOW SHE'LL SAY HE DID WATERGATE. That would make him 10 at the time. I'm sure he was ALL over that Hotel. He was bombing at 9. I think he was at the 68 convention at 7 hanging with Abbey Hoffman. MY GOD LET GO OF THE 60's and 70's you flaming old bag.

This is great news. One endorsement a day keeps old Clinton away.

Again, Obama reaches across party lines. Soon McCain will endorse Obama too…

This is great news.

But its sad to watch the media making a mockery of democracy.

He is messing with your mind. He wants Obama to be the candidate, not president. We all do. He is toast and we know it.

I wonder who he will stand next to in the general?
McCain or Obama…
I wonder who important his endorsment will be then?
Wink.. Wink..

It's all falling into place!

Thank you Mr. Ruckelshouse.

Those too young to remember back to Nixon should at least read up on it. Nice to see that those with courage back then are still principled people.

In response to "Mama4Obama", I'd like to say this: You can screw off. You and all you dam Obama supporteres.

As usual the Clinton supporter idiots do not read what has been printed. If you look at what McCane's campaign is saying and I quote "They would much rather see Hilary Clinton in a General Election becasue she is to inconsistent and not trustworthy according to the National Polls" they do not want to see Obama in a General Election. Now, where is your claim for electability…oops, she slipped on that one again last night (inconsistency coming through again).

How about the Clinton supporters gettheir facts straight before you post a message on this blog. To much idiotic non-fact supported comments from you guys.

Go home and take your toys with you becasue you obviously do not know how to play nice.

GO OBAMA!!!!!

Maybe the Pope will endorse Obama before he leaves.

The Devil is up to his old tricks. This is creepy.

TO john:

If an American is red-blooded then he'd be a Republican. If he was blue-blooded he'd be a Democrat. If he's Purple-blooded, he'd be a Demigod.

I agree with John: Hillary is the on

Before you start criticizing the man, read his background to know who he is. He was FIRED because he STOOD UP to Nixon!!! This is the type of reputable person with strong character that you want in your corner.

Hill basically called herself a liar last night, but oh yeah she apologized for it.

It's true that Obama may not change Washington, but he is our best choice for President!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

Republicans, Independents, first time voters, democrats…….everyone is voting for Barack.
I thought that Bill "BJ" Clinton said that if Hillary didn't win both Ohio and Texas she would have no chance in winning the nomination. Oh that's right that came out of a Clinton mouth…what am I thinking!

Texas-
Obama-99 delegates
Clinton- 96 delegates

Spin those numbers!

I'm pretty sure the head of the EPA isn't a Secretary but a Director.

Another crook rears his ugly head: Ruckelshaus, Rezko, Ayers….MMMMmmmmmmm, very interesting!

I am pretty sure that they did not include in this article that Obama does in fact take money from special interests. Probably that explains a republican endorsing the weakest link

Read this article and find out the truth about Obama:

"Obama's claim of independence questioned"
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-04-15-obamainside_N.htm

Hillary- President of the United States of America
Vote Democrat-Vote for Clinton!!!

Stop Dividing the country now. Vote Hillary if you have respect.

Hillary and Nader

Ruckleshaus is a stand up guy and fairly moderate, as I recall. Probably no evil plot….

More importantly, it adds some outside validation to HRC's admission that Obama is electable in November.

I rather vote Mccain then wake up in hell.. with Obama holding the folk.

Hilary 08

QUOTE FROM CHARLENE:
"The Republicans are setting Obama up for the big let down.. Obama is target, The republicans wants him because Mccain can and will beat him come Nov. Either way if Hilary is not on ticket I and many Like me will be voting for Mccain"

YES CHARLENE, GO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE SPOUSE AND CHILDREN OF THOSE WHO DIES IN IRAK….AND TO THOSE WHO WILL DIE WHEN MCCAIN WILL KEEP ON SENDIND TROUPS THERE !
THE MOMENT U CAST A VOTE FOR MCCAIN, YOU LL BE AN ACOMPLICE TO G.W. BUSH.
AND AN ACCOMPLICE TO THE DEATH OD THOUSANDS.

DEAL WITH THAT ON YOUR CONSCIENCE….

Hillary supporters - You guys are hilarious. You attack Obama for not being a uniter when he defends himself against attacks, then when he gets a VERY WELL RESPECTED Republican endorsement you cry out "LOOK! THEY WANT HIM TO WIN!" Ruckelshaus transcends Obama's vision of change in politics, the only difference is he's on the other side of the aisle and has been doing it for years. He doesn't get pushed around by the government, he takes a stand! Stop whining! You want to know who wants Hillary to win? Rush Limbaugh and Karl Rove. Think I'm joking? Listen to them! Go on, you've got your endorsements, now go vote for her.

I have a right to defend myself, so in reply to "Mama4Obama", I'd like to say, "Screw off. " If you dont vote for Hillary now, then YOU are negative..

Texas With Obama!

carlo: this Hillary supporter will remain silent especially if Obama is the nominee. Don't expect to hear a word from me in NOvemver…I might be tempted to say, Hello, President McCain, though!

Last debate I am hoping…can`t get any worse..I don`t watch ABC any way and people said that BET is bad…both networks need to be canned.

If Hillary doesnt win, maybe she can be Vice Pres. Just as long as she gets in, by any means necessary.

The Hillary and Nader agenda for America;s future.

This is good news Obama will surely win the Democratic primary. Are you happy now.

Wonderful news. Senator Obama, hold your head up; you are a wonderful leader, and a soon to be a great President. This is all in God's plan!

Obama 2008!!!

The polls say Hillary suppoters arent educated, but that is not the case. I am very intelligent and know what I want. Even if its "unelectable" or whatever. You can't tell me how to vote. It's my prerogative. Do you understand?

Hillary and Nader.

Ruckelshaus is such a jerk. He leaves us at the worst possible time. Just like a man.

Hillary and Nader

The people posting here who think McCain can beat Obama in the general election are republican miscreants, members of that 28% of idiots who still support GWB. You are responsible for turning america into a thrid world country–no jobs, worthless currency, despotic leadership. Keep "clinging" to your failed conservatism. The rest of us will vote for a real winner in the fall who will retore the nation's honor and prosperity. We're voting for Obama for real change

Yes we can! Yes we can!! Yes we can !!! Welcome on board sir.

re: Barb Canada April 17th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

I realize Hillary supporters are out of touch, but apparently you haven't been paying attention to the past month of "operation chaos."

JAKE,CA

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU.

ME MEET IN PA

HILLARY WE LOVES YOU

HILLARY 08

The only reason Mccain would beat Obama in the general is because of the Hillary suppoters threatining to cross party lines. Wow isn't that typical Hillary. You don't get your way and you pout and cry and do negative things, that affect this country negatively. The fact is that HRC and Obama's policies aren't that different. So if your a Clinton supporter that is going to cross lines, then your a hypocrite. Like I said, there are virtually no differences between their policies. Get real people.

This is terrible journalism. Sensationist headlines like this are really not needed at essential times such as these.

CNN: WHY IS MY 2:58 pm COMMENT STILL AWAITING MODERATION???

And the Obama train will keep rolling all the way to the white house in November

Obama 2008

I am not a Crook! And I don't tell Lie's…. Obama, where is you're Shame….. It will all come out now, now you have told how you made 4 Million on the Sale of you're Book… What Book??? Everybody will be reading it now…

"Any red-blooded American who would back Obama, is no American at all!"

I guess my blood must be another color then.

obama is like neo from the matrix,- he is the one!!! why would hillary during last nights debate commit the united states will go to war for israel if its ever attacked? dont we have a constituition that only allows us to go to war when we are attacked? is israel a part of the united states now? she is dangerous, naive and more reckless than bush, she should never be allowed near the white house and the button.

Even old line Republicans don`t trust McCain and these modern "spend like there`s no tomorrow" Republicans

Stud April 17th, 2008 2:09 pm ET
The trains leaving and Hillary supporters are being left behind!

Yeah, keep saying that we are left behind. If Obama is the nominee, we will be left behind in the general election too. Need Votes? Well you sure are not getting ours. LOL

BarbCanadam paul and the others who say he is backing Obama because Obama will lose to McCain…

Have you not heard of Operation Chaos?? It is a well established FACT that the right wing wants to run against Hillary, not Obama, because they will OBLITERATE her with all the baggage from the Clinton years (Obama does not bring up that stuff because he is trying to run a different kind of campaign; that hardly means it isn't there, just waiting for the Republicans to pounce). That's why Republicans are crossing over as "spoilers" in the Dem primary to vote for Hillary. This is not a theory, or a secret.

I really think that Hillary is Bi-Polar and should be on meds.

Does Hillary wear flag pin?

Count on Obama being asked in the next ABC debate: "So Obama, CNN reports that you were, in fact, responsible for Watergate. Can you
