CNN

Ah, great headline. Love how you managed to work a scandal into the endorsement. Kudos to the low-life creep who wrote this headline.

Next time Hillary gets an endorsement, I think the headline should read: "So and So Endorses Candidate Linked to Clinton Impeachment, Sex Scandal"

Because I think that would be pretty great too.

Goes to show you that O or Mc is ok, either way. This country is definitely united against Hillary. We simply cannot afford another clintoon in the WH. O is a socialist, Mc is a moderate liberal and clintoon is just pure evil. Unite Dems, Reps, and Ind's. . . .

the so called 'debate' was a total let down. Only about 30 of the 120 minutes were spent talking about real issues.......the rest was a total waste of time......why doesn't Obama wear a flag pin??? That's somehow important??? Do YOU wear a flag pin???? I don't! Does that mean I"m un-American? That I don't believe in the flag???

Wake up people! This is a contest for our next President. It's not a popularity contest. Next thing you know, they'll be complaining because Obama didn't have on a red tie last night! Wow! He must not be patriotic!

Obama is the only choice in 08

Why would a Republican endorse Senator Obama? I guess they now feel that Senator Obama would be easier to beat in November. Senator Obama has just gotten a hold of a lot of negative baggage and no one has gone through it yet.

It kills me that these foolish Billary supporters try to advance the claim that the Reichpublicans want Obama over Billary. Where do they get this? Or is it just an embedded trait of Billary AND her supporters that the truth isn't all that necessary? I have never heard a Reichpublican pundit claim that. The complete opposite is the truth. Every one of them that has commented on this subject has stated, "There is no democrat that can energize and bring out the evangelicals and conservatives than Hillary Clinton." And on top of that, since McBush became their nominee, it's common knowledge that he'll get nearly all of the , "on the fence" Independents against Billary.

To "Go For What You Know," let me just say that Abraham Lincoln did pretty well with his rhetoric. His campaign speeches sometimes lasted three hours.

I don't believe Hillary has shown a lifetime commitment to the democratic principles. She was a corporate lawyer for WalMart, for eight years listening to the board disparage unions. And yet she did not speak up. She did not quit her job.

As for Bush, it wasn't his "charisma" that got him elected, it was the Rovian dirty tricks and "gotcha" games. The same kind of games Hillary is trying to play against Barack. If we don't stop it now, it'll never end and each election will become more and more trivial.

People dont' be so so ignornat, i don't care who the Democratic candidate turns out to be, if you are stupid enough to vote for another Republican for 4 years, everyone one of you deserve exactly what you get and its only going to get worse. Wake up and smell the coffee, if either Obama and Clinton supporters vote Republican if there candidate doesn't make it is utterly stupid..Yes stupid

Don't worry. I know how to spell DIFFERENCE.
I was quoting a previous blog...

I think all of you Bitter Clinton supporters should go to church and take her with you little do you know that the place for healing, LOL

Each clean "CUT" endorsement certainly cannot hurt....

Air out the D-I-R-T-Y laundry now......

I don't understand democrats thinking about voting for McCain if their candidate doesn't get the nomination. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Think Judges, Roe vs. Wade, Iraq, the economy-McCain is not Republican lite-he's a down and dirty full blown conservative.

Seems I was wrong about all of the conservative Christians and Evangelicals who blindly followed Dubya in 2004... Clinton supporters have set a new low for sheer and utter ignorance.

OK MORONS (mostly Hillary supporters):

LOOSER=less tight

LOSER=not a winner

You don't check spelling just like you don't check facts!!!

OBAMA '08!!!

Tell me again what bridges Obama has built? Just exactly what unifying has he brought about? The number of Democrates that Obama repels is much greater than the number of Republicans that he attracts. This whole "Obama the bridge-builder" notion is a fantasy cooked up and marketed by Axelrod – who is himself one of the biggest big-time special interest consultants in the business of hyping products and protecting huge corporations. It's a great story, and a great big fraud. When Obama loses between 40 and 45 states in November, then you can say he's a uniter – he will have united Republicans, Independents and Democrats who love America in opposition to his fluff and flim-flam.

Go Obama.

I VOTED GOP NEVER AGAIN!! OBAMA

ABC tried to do a hit job on Barack last night. The fact that he refused to stoop to pandering and cheapshots, and kept his cool shows he is a great leader. Is America ready for it or not?

Obama has a ZERO chance at beating McCain.

He's already behind and the Repubs haven't even started in on him yet.

Obama isn't changing anything and neither will McCain. Those of us that live in reality know this.

I want a UNITER... Not another fighter...

fighting is old..

YES WE CAN... is real change..

Vote Barack and I'm an independent..

!!
Republicans just want Obama to be the nominee, b/c Obama is easy to be beat down in general election.

It is obvious anyone who loves our nation truly–not just playing politics–will go for a unifier like Obama. Republicans, Independents and Democrats, welcome aboard the all-American train with Obama as the engineer. Thanks for loving this land with every fibre of your being!

Irish for O'bama! Obama-Gore or Gore-Obama or Obama-Pelosi '08!

"Do not let a lifetime of achievements and commitment to the democratic principles that has characterized Hillary be wasted"

Huh?!!!

Drip, drip, drip...the wonderful sound of Superdelegates deciding to support Barack Obama, thus leaving Hillary Clinton to her own lies, bitterness and subterfuge.

Barack Obama for 2008!!

If Obama loses the general election to McCain, Hillary will lose even more when matched-up with McCain in the same election.

Quote of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

1. Obama's supporters may be learned, but they are not educated. The magic kool-aid brain freeze has turned them all to obamabots

2. The majority of Obama's supporters write using misspelled words, cliches, and venomous language toward Obama's fellow democrat, Hillary.

3. Like their candidate, most of Clinton's supporters are very humble and put this nation "first." Bitterness, religion, and guns are seen as secondary or remote issues.

If Obama is the nominee I will vote democratice. If it is Clinton I will vote republican. This is a great endorsement.
Obama '08

Have you Obama supporters even listened to who is friends are? He runs around whith the idiot "Reverend" Wright, the American bomber Ayers, and Mr. Larry Sinclair. Do you people even care about America?

Go Obama Go!!!!!

Saw a photo w/ Hillary and McCain standing side-by-side. Maybe Hillary can run for McCain's VP???????? Two peas in a pod!!!!

Well Hillary The Liar Liar Liar and master manipulator, pack it in. It's over.

My Congressman just sent an email that he is endorsing Obama. I told him to never expect another dime from me or my family. Obama is truly changing the Democratic party. It will be full of yelling, screaming, rude lemmings. For every one he is bringing in, some of us are leaving. Independent is the new way to go!

Looks like the Republicans want to run against Obama.

FELLOW DEMOCRATS:

LETS WORK TOGETHER, THIS COUNTRY CANNOT STAND
ANOTHER BUSH POLICY.

I AM A CLINTON SUPPORTER, BUT I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA
IN THE GE IF HE IS THE NOMINEE! ! ! ! ! ! !

It is nice too see so many conservatives who are willing to try and build a coalition. Let's take our country back. p.s. Don't Tell them we are trying to take it back from them...

Deabate last nigh, hillary say sorry about Bosnia, the way her body langua is not sincere, look very joke, she thing American not enough intelligen?. Once thing to hillary " GO HOME "
I sic about you. LIE

No Hillary has not received a republicn endorsement, other than McCain, but she really has not received many endorsements lattyl. Obama has recieve over 30 delgate and 3 suoer delegate endorsements since this bitter stuff began.

Thanks Hillary and posse!

Do you fools honestly believe he will vote for him in the general election.

GREAT.... we want more Obamacans to join us!!!!
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

Go Hillary!!!

I don't want to vote for McCain but I will before I vote for Oboma.

No attack or spin about it...a candidate with a circle of friends like Rezko, Wright, Ayers and Auschi, darn right I want full disclosure. What is so negative about that? Allowing Obama to play the victim is not getting to the facts. Just give me the facts before I go running off to send this guy any of my paycheck. Explaining this away as silly season just does not answer my questions. He appears to be just as controversial as any other candidate.

Obama picks up another Republican supporter, can you say Lieberman. His supporters are people who are against the principles that the Democratic party has always stood for, doesn't that tell you something. Maybe if he doesn't win the nomination he will run as an independent, like Lieberman, and go all the way over to the dark side, instead of just giving them lip service.He is the first Democrat to come out against universal health care. What really bothers me is that Obama, the millionaire, only says during his speeches that he will inspire you, you will have to be the ones to pull yourselves up by your own boot straps.Even though you go to inferior schools, don't get the health care you need, and live in slum lord apartments, WITH LOW PAYING JOBS OR NO JOBS AT ALL., he says, – yes you can. What an elitist,snob. Vote Hillary if you want a DEMOCRAT in the whitehouse.

Wow, the Republicans don't want to run against Clinton, this is not looking good the the Democrates! McCain here we come!

Uncounted in Florida

Welcome aboard the change Mr. Ruckelshaus...

Obama 08!!!

It takes integrity to recognize integrity.
Thank you, Mr. Ruckelshaus.

For me, it will ONLY be Hillary.

She can support Obama- she is a free woman.

I will never support Obama.

MCM, fred misspoke LOL you see what kind of people supports her. Need I say more.

Hillary may support Obama if he gets the nomination...

But she can't force her supporters to back him or vote for him.

I will write Hillary Clinton's name in. So will others. I hope she knows us well enough to realize that.

Bless her heart for trying to unite what Obama has trashed.

Wow! After the debate I realized what a smart man Obama is. He is not perfect but he has integrity and is very smart. I think alot of people realized this in the past and that is why he is winning and will be the commander in chief.

Its hard to explain. Great Leaders are not created they are born Great Leaders. Hillary will never really understand true leadership. McCain understands it but is conflicted because of the Bush Administration and his family's elite background.

But Obama is different it started from College, as a Lawyer,Senate and next will be President. Go Obama 08 & 12& 16& 20&24......!

I also will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. CNN has put Obama into the spot light once again!! I have learned that it is not about all the news but about what the press wants you to hear. Hillary did a great job in the debate, has very good policies. Obama has a past and it will catch up to him. He is a smooth talker and people including the "fair" press falls for it. It is all politics and who is in whos pocket. I have had it and Hillary has not had even close to the positive and fair press Obama has had over the past few months. The press should not tell us who to vote for but give stories on ALL the issues and ALL the candidates and in a fair way!!!! This is supposed to be America but I honestly feel like we have some propaganda going on here within our news stations, press etc.

Obama is the real deal. Hillary needs to drop out now!

This is getting boring. It is clear that most of this country wants Obama (and has for quite some time) and that is not going to change. Let's move on to the GE, where McCain will get the political beating he deserves, so we can have the president that we deserve.

Mr. John Smith,

You want to say that quote:

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

" end quote.

I think you are mistaken...Hillary supporters are educated but not brainwashed as some of Obama supporters.
We have the right to have a different opinion...it's a free country, no?

OMG!

Obama was PISSED OFF at last nights debate he lost.

No wonder he was pissed.

He was being asked about his lies over and over and over again.

How did DEAN ever allow this guy with scandal after scandal all
around him to ever run for president???

Obama is the weakest candidate the DEMS have ever had.

Obama can NEVER win in a general.

Interesting that when Obama met with the PM today one of his priorities was prosperity for Africa – Prosperity should start at home don't you think???

the Obama followers are so upset today,because their King lost the debate last night.They are calling every one names,jounalists of high credabilty are all wrong.What are the folloers going to do when the King is defeated???????????

Ruckelshaus likes Obama? Stand back for the stampede of support, lol. I like Obama too, but I can't see this as relevant.

CNN should be talking about important stuff like Hillary's resemblence to Senator Palpatine. Seriously, picture her with a hood.

"Don't Stop Believen" oh oh oh awww!! Barack Obama is giving us Americans a sense of hope in this horrible time in our American lives. I lost some homes, a job (realtor), and by the grace of God, I have my wife still. I just believe that Barack is devinely sent to give us hurting Americans a break. I am tired of the negative BS. Ever seen the movie " Waiting to Exhale"? WHEW!!!!! Its about time.

Obama 08-Doesn't that sound great?

Eunice, please read the article, i guess you and Fred are siblings...

A Republican who endorses Obama – is a trap...because they know they can trump him with least or no efforts at all. Yes Democrats, listen to the Republicans telling you who you should nominate. and then they'll take care of his defeat like you've never seen before. Republicans don't like clinton because she's smarter and mor eknowledgeable in economics, healthcare, education – and yes – she's a woman without fear! There are many women who are watching – and resolute to make sure that before you know it, women – single, married, widows, divorced – yes we are all for Hillary. We are not going to take any more bullying by men.

Uh Juan, Hillary is the one who is dividing the party. She's known as one of the most divisive figures in America for a reason. And for those who are so delusional that they think Obama is losing I think you better check again...the overall delegate and popular vote count says otherwise.

If republicans wanted Obama to win, ABC and FOX NOISE wont lay a finger on him, but would be more than happy to hammer Hillary down all the way!

Lets get republicans to ensure an Obama win in the democratic nomination.

Then lets show him the door come Nov.

The republicans know their man McCain is a moderate and weak among the conservatives. They want him to go up against the weaker democrat- the one that will be easier to beat.

McCain will wilt under Hillarys brilliant command of all things political.

Obama will match McCain stutter for stutter, forgotten word for forgotten words... I mean words DO matter- hand me that 3 year old just words speech again. Maybe I can get some more milage from it.

Hillary is running on her Husband former President's etiquette. WOW I do not mind that Hillary is still in the race, I do mind to see all her IGNORANTS supporters still want to vote for her just because she is a woman, and even bother to threat the Democratic Party by saying if: She's not in the race, I'll vote for McCain.
Well anyone who wanted to vote McCain, Good Luck to you. Let me remind you that America is your country and what goes wrong in America will evantually affects everybody. So Vote your conscience and be happy after that. That dishonest liar called Hillary will not do anything for America but to sink it some more like Dick Channey and Bush have been doing. If that's what you all those Ignorant people wanted for America, that's a true tesmony of your Patriotism.
Hillary and her Husband need to go finish the Columbian Deal and have a more fat bank account at the expenses of those of you Idiots.

Jodie:

did you somehow miss the fact that Sen Clinton was asked to explain her Bosnia gaffe? It is about time Sen Obama was asked to answer a few questions. All in all this "typical white woman" was totally dissatisfied with his answers. He never answered a single question directly, just turned accusations on Sen Clinton rather than answering the moderators questions. He is disrespectful of Sen Clinton, and seems to find her candidacy comical (as if a woman could actually presume to be president). While Sen Clinton attacks Sen Obama's own words and actions, Sen Obama attacks Sen Clinton personally by implying that she is an idiot. In addition, he doesn't want my vote in Florida to count since it wasn't for him. If this is his "new kind of politics" I object and will object with my vote in November if he is the nominee.

One step closer, keep them coming. Whenever some one makes a negative remark about OBOMA for some reason he gets endoresements. So I say keep making the negative remarks so that OBOMA can be the next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE. NO ONE WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT HE WOULD MAKE IT THIS FAR, BUT GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH AND HE IS GUIDING HIM. NO ONE CAN OUT DO THE WORK OF THE LORD SO KEEP THOSE NEGATIVE REMARKS COMING

Independent for Hillary from Pittsburgh,

You and Dan Onorato, Luke Raventhal may the reason why Pittsburgh is going down the drain economically and can't attract hightech industries to Alleghany county. Know the facts first and then speak...I am sorry I forgot you support Hillary.

All aboard the Obama train!

You Hillary and McCain supporters better hurry up and get on!

Don't worry. Obama will forgive and forget your evil ways.

GO OBAMA GO!

It is really interesting how afraid the GOP is of Hillary Clinton. The Republicans know that Hillary will beat McCain. Wake up Obama!! The Republicans are playing with you, using you. I wouldn't get too cocky about what looks like a republican endorsement coming from William Ruckelshaus. Remember: The reality is that you are less likely to beat McCain, therefore you are ripe for the "wolves in sheep's clothing".

If you call having three to one fair. She can win all the debates but she will not win the nomination. The people can recognize a gang attack.

Senator Obama seems to have the ability to attract criminals.

Simply put:

"Don't bite off your nose to spite your face".

I am a Obama supporter but if my choice doesn't get the nomination I'll be voting for Hillary.

If you're a Dem and your candidate doesn't win don't vote for the "enemy". Makes me wonder if you were a Democrat to begin with....

I understand the importance of transparency.

I see right through your lies and hype, Obama.

For the enlitenment of the Hillary crowd.
1) A.G. Ruckelshaus REFUSED to bow to the Nixon pressure to sack the watergate investigator.
2) He was fired from his job for being straightforward and Honest just like Obama.
3) This Republican with integrity and Honesty is supporting Obama.

Itegrity and Honesty are not Clinton traits they continually trade in dodgey deals and what seem on the surface money laundring so much so it has even alerted the Federal Election Commission.

Obam 08

You all need to start considering the possibility that your candidate of choice may not win the nomination. This bitter superfluous rivalry is only hurting our future. It's disgusting. Wake up.

With respect to your concept called__polling–At this moment up to 10,000 women per state have already vowed never to support Obama for anything, yet along President. My guess could now be placed at 100,000 votes and there has yet to be any real movement to solicit anything. It's just happening through Obama's own arrogance. Women represent the largest voting block in the country and no poll can as yet reflect just how many of us there who, contrary to Howard Dean, will not change our minds in November. We are an intelligent lot that believe in more than party unity.

CHERYL FOR HILLARY:

I'm sorry to say this, but I read your multiple posts every day and you must be a moron. You are probably the type of person who is interested in whether or not Obama wears a flag on his label. Try to step outside yourself for a moment.

Do you have blinders on as to who Hillary really is? Do your research and come back with an objective decision instead of being a cheerleader just because she is a woman. If you do your research and come back for a vote for Hillary, then good for you.

Still seething over the stupidity of the "lapel flag" issue during ABC's vapid excuse of a "debate" last night, I log on to CNN and lo and behold, an uplifting bit of news: William Ruckelshaus comes out for Sen. Obama and makes my day! It is uplifting to witness an man like Ruckelshaus, someone who embodies quality character, judge a candidate "worthy" on the quality of that candidate's character. For those who are still fixated on a stupid pin, take a look at most photos of George Bush. A pin is just a pin. Anybody can wear one and those, like Sen. Obama whose character is reflected from within rather than from his lapel, are those we should follow.

<>

Ruckelshaus stood up to Nixon and lost his job because of it.

CNN's headline isn't as clear as it could be.

There is no problem with anybody endorsing Obama.The misconstrued idea of Obama winning because of these endorsements is false and far fetched.Obama is damaged goods.Hillary is in an upward motion and will defeat Obama.

KEEP THE FREE TRADE GOING. SELL THE USA OUT!!!! MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT. OBAMA JUST WRITE BOOKS DUDE. HILARY JUST GO TO BOSNIA PERMANENTLY AND TELL MORE LIES!!! YOU ARE THE WORST DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE EVER. YOU HAVE RUINED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BUY YOUR LIES AND GREED!!!!
YOU SHOW NO SOLIDARITY. YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN IN DISGUISE. HILARY .... FOR PRESIDENT OF LIES. HILARY SHOULD MARRY HANNITY OR COOMBS.

If Obama is so unelectable, why is it that the Republicans are attacking him so much? McCain and HRC are going after Obama with a venegance. Republicans have even admitted that Obama is the one most likely to be able to beat them in the general election.

Why wouldn't a crook endorse a fraud??

This must be a good thing. Ruckelshaus no doubt has influence in Indiana and Barack has the ability to reach out to Republicans, unlike Hillary, who is the OLD way of politics of tear down & destroy your own party for your own personal gain for power. We are moving on with Barack & Change We Can Believe In.

Come on CNN...
It's not that hard...

POST my comments.

I am not hateful, name-calling or vulgar...
I just believe Hillary shone at the first fair debate that focused on issues rather than personality.

This is an endorsement from PATRIOTs who stood up to Nixon. They join Springsteen.
Of course if you are republican partisan you would want Hillary to be the nominee. She will not get more than 30% of Independent vote. Fox news tries to push Hillary's case.

Great!! GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!

WOW!....Americans are speaking; I'm ashamed at ABC for that debate last night.....40min attacking and bringing up NON-issues.....A flagpin? Rev. Wright? Bitter comments? and more and the only attack on Hillary was the Bosnia story.....You have got to be kidding me....that was not a debate and the moderators clearly showed partiality.....Would someone explain to me how if we finally have someone that can UNITE us from all walks of life why wont we embrace it. We cry everyday about change and change stares us right in our faces, but we're so racially, conservtively, economically BITTER holding on to our PAST, we rather divide than unite.....Mccain is a another bush term and hillary wants us to go backward to the 90s....What about the future?.....for once we have a chance to live up to our name THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!......the more you attack Obama the more people flock to him.....ever wonder why? everyone can't be stupid.....When the enemy comes in like a flood, than the Lord will lift up a standard!................

Hi webmaster!

Welcome Sir William D. Ruckelshaus., did you bring any friends ?

go Obama

YOU GO OBAMANATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMANATE CLINTON!!!YEAHHHHHH!!! SEE EVEN REPUBLICANS ARE TURNING ON THEIR OWN PARTY. THEY ARE THE ELITISTS!!

Adam Los Angeles, LOL now you see what kind of people that are voting for Hillary, maybe he did not UNDERSTAND the article.

I don't want a good guy like Obama to win because America doesn't deserve a decent President. We want Hilary and her big fat LIES and 100 million dollar ELITES wages. Her move for Nafta was great it made a lot of people fully unemployed. Bill i can see why you hooked up with Lewinsky. Dude you are the best. Why are you with Hilary???? She won't make man. YOU ARE LOOKING AT PRESIDENT MCCAIN. It's nice to have another 4 – 8 years of the new Bush Administration. President McCain you are welcomed. I hope the stock market doesn't crash and i hope the dollar doesn't go below 10cents making us a 3rd world country. I hope that we continue with Free trade to the Asians and other countrys. I hope that the Chinese and Japanese buy us out. All i am waiting for is the Japanese signs to go up all over the place. We have sold America out fully. We don't own America no more. Foreign investors bought us out. So keep doing the Free trade guys. Sell the USA fully out to the Asians and other countrys. There is nothing like true Patriotism from a Military Leader!!!

What other relationships do you need people to understand from whom Obama gets the air beneath his wings? Howard Dean is out of touch with his statement a few minutes ago that McCain can't win. If Obama is the nominee the list of those refusing to support him will definetly give McCain the percent needed to win. There would be no choice with that matchup.

GO PENNSYLVANIA! End Obama now! The youth vote dies fast in a national election and women will NOT support Obama.

Hillary is the ONLY real answer!

charlene by all means vote for McCain. and keep your mouth shut for four years as he continuesthe very policies that you are against! Hillary is done, if she is more important to you than the party, then you are not really invested in the party or its interest anyway. i am an Obama supporter that will be supporting either one of them. that is what a true democrat does.

That is why we lose elections..if we don't get our candidate we pout and don't vote while republicans TOW THE LINE!

No no no...
Hillary supporters please do not vote for McCain.

Request an absentee ballot and write Hillary In. The vote will then count.

Hillary just needs to give up now!

Obama 08!

I think it's rediculous when people who claim to be liberals say that will vote for John McCain if their Democratic candidates aren't the nominee. You people sound rediculous. You'd really vote for a man who claims to be a true patriot yet would rather leave troops in harms way than bring them home. Not to mention give them more GI money for college and healthcare and homebuying. You people sound stupid. I wish race and gender weren't all we, as Americans can think about and that we could finally come together and end the madness that was the Bush administration and look toward a future that includes the best for all of us.

Vote for McCain, you get more of the same; another Bush for another 4 years. If you want to fight the corrupt machine, vote for Obama or Hillary. Either one will produce much needed change. McCain would be an utter disaster for this country.

Hillary Clintion won the debate last night, without a doubt. Obama danced all around the questions. All I can say is whoever is voting on these polls, is either the elite crowd or they spent time in the backseat of Obama's limo. If Obama wins, it will be the first time in history, that we have a black muslim gay person in charge of this country. Who also admits to taking drugs and is lacking in morals. If we want change in the Whitehouse, we need to vote for new senators and representatives. NOW WE WILL HAVE CHANGE. These negative criminal friends that Obama has, you can bet they are friends of Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Kerry, Sen Richardson etc.. Want change don't vote them in for selling our country out. Obama wins the primary, VOTE FOR Sen. McCain. All Obama does is lie to the people and refuses to wear the flag on his lapel???????? WOW!!!!! Could this mean he does turn his back, when they salute the American Flag? CNN wants Obama to win, because even though Hillary is smarter, unfortunatly, shes a woman. White men in particular have a problem with that. Obama DID PLACE HIS HAND ON THE KORAN. I WATCHED IT LIVE ON THE U.S. SENATE STATION. GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY. WE HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT BY OUR MOST ELITE. CHANGE YOUR VOTE CHANGE THE SENATE SEATS. VOTE FOR CHANGE!!!!!

How many of these posters actually read what they're posting about? It's laughable. So many are too quick to condemn the "other brand" without informing themselves. This is what's dividing the party! Do your research before going off half cocked about something you know nothing about. We're trying to elect the most important official in the world. Stop dividing, start uniting.

Obama '08

fred & Adam: he wasn ot a part of water gate, he refused to FIRE the independent counsel that was part of the watergate investigation and thus got fired by nixon, actually read the article before running off at the mouth!

It's funny that CLINTON supporter keep saying that Repubs are supporting Obama because they know he will get beat. Obviously they and YOU are not up to date on almos every last poll out there. Every poll puts Obama doing better than Clinton against Mccain. Why aren't you saying the same for the few repubs that are backing Clinton. Why do they do it? Besides, which candidate had a radio personality call for Repubs to back them because they are the weaker candidate in the general?

Back up what you say with FACTS. The fact is: America is tired of the Clintons.

OBAMA 08

Hillary is who we thought she was. She's smart, motivated, eager and overall a good person. She won the debate last night. She typically wins the debates- but that's not why she's losing. She's also seems less than trust worthy, self serving and willing to sacrifice everything for herself and Bill. This is why people are not voting for her.

People wanted a debate about the issues- Obama suggested that's why he was there. Hillary can probably articulate herself in debates and win on the issues- SHE CHOSE NOT TO- she chose instead to go negative and attack Obama. People don't want to hear that. If you're better prove it. But by attacking and going negative she weakens and divides the party. She is who we thought she is. That's why she's losing.

It's great when those connected to Republican administrations endorse Obama; it strengthens his argument that he appeals to a wider range of people than Hillary (or McCain, sorry, Lieberman doesn't count). I wonder if he'll have to explain his endorsement to George and the rest of the media?

Charlene you are the fool. Vote for McCain I hope you got your finances in place for the next 4 years. People like you are crazy; I mean think Hillary and Obama pretty much have the same views and policies. So why vote for someone who is totally opposite of what you want or do you know what you want? You only hurt yourself. Remember Obama don't need us we need him. McCain definitely don't care what you want.

GO OBAMA!! This is just the begining, more republican and independent will come soon!

Ruckelshaus survived the Nixon years and remains respected and well-liked. He stood up to Nixon when Nixon was caught in his crookedness. I imagine he'd stand up to Bill and Hillary in theirs!

Thank you, Sir, for adding your powerful voice on behalf of the best candidate we have had in decades!

Si se puede! Obama 2008!

Obama cant beat McCain? Next you'll be telling me my NY Giants could never beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl...

Chalk me up as another conservative for Obama. He's the first politician I've ever seen practice what he preaches. Hillary will do or say anything – even directly conflicting things – to steal this election. McCain is just as liberal as the democrats, and more warmongerish.

btw, there are more conservatives that will vote for Obama than lunatic "dumbocrats" that will switch parties and vote for McCain if their Queen doesn't get her righful nomination.

Let's get one thing straight: if someone refuses to wear an American flag pin, then they absolutely, unequivocally hate this country and want to see the terrorists win. In fact, anyone who refuses that strongly to wear an American flag pin, actually is a terrorist.

You know what after watching ABC dispicable cut down of Barrack Obama last night I think the American Public and World Public understand America's rotten hypocrisy of racism!!!. I think they need to be boycotted by all minorities. White American has wronged all minorities not just blacks and it is a continuation of that policy by ABCs Media. I thought FOX network was bad but ABC is the worst network. Stephanopolus,Hannity & Combs, ABC,Fox: THE MOST RACIST COMMENTARY EVER – ABC IS THE ALL TIME WINNER AFTER LAST NIGHT. It's good to see that not all Whites see eye to eye. Hilary is a big fake artist and LIES all the time. Maybe she and McCain deserve one another. Maybe it might be a good thing for Barrack to loose. McCain and Hilary can get married !!!

Oh boy, those HillBill supporters are worse than the republicans. If she doesn't make it, i will vote Mc cain.... what a bunch of bull. People who are arguing that way would vote for Mc Can't anyway. Same thing with Obama was brought down yesterday. He stood by his way not to run a dirty campaign. We will leave that to HillBill and cohorts.
Btw, nice job George, this was the final in your coffin as an unbiased journalist. You really belong into the hall of shame.

Yes another one!!!

Obama: So what? Enough of endorsements & big speeches! Meet is PA & fight to the end! And yes, pls. close the deal! Even for 1 big blue swing Democratic state pls!

This is great news! It shows that this candidate (Barack Obama) can work across party lines.

Obama 08 and 12!

All the good people behind Obama, Thank You Ruckelshaus; You are great American!

OBAMA 08

Thank You! We all know that no Republican or Independent will vote for a petty, spiteful person like Clinton. And neither will most Democrats – Check the latest polls. So how does that make her more electable?

Obama 08 – YES WE CAN

Mike--–

Capital gains is a tax you pay on interest and such..So yes the money you invest as already been taxed but not the capital GAINS–the interest............Understand???

LMAO That is who Obama reminds me of Nixon!!!!

I am not a crook, liar, I didn't know my preacher said those things, I don't take lobbist money...NIXON...reborn!!

"Because people need to know if their Preident's a crook." – R.M. Nixon

Obama handled himself gracefully last night, Clinton showed herself to be bitter about being in second place. She takes personal jabs at Obama every chance she gets, because she feels this is the only thing she can do to win. I think one of the most ironic things about Sen.Clinton is she said if she were Obama should would not have stayed at the church were Wright was the Pastor, my question is where does she go to church? Also, who is her Pastor? This is why she can't get the conservative votes, and he can we know he attends church. The only thing the Clintons worship is power!

I think Clinton just went from "ready to lie on day one" to "ready to lose on day one."

Don't know that I would want his endorsement...

Jan...

No... but you apparently are.

I meant "he defied Nixon"

People wake up.....this is why Obama does not like debate. He prefers to give speeches because he does not have toanwer any questions. He was very shaky last night, and unsure, he was hesitating a lot. Imagine when the Republicans will go after him in the general election. He is dead meat. Please people wake up......it is nice to have hope but you have to have substance. He does not have any substance at all. He is talking about change......what change.......Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson ......those farts wants high position that is all. Please wake up people.
Hillary is far from being perfect (who is) but she is ready......ready.

the real change we can believe in

My compliments to Mr. Ruckelshaus. He sees the same Nixon type behvior in Hillary Clinton and wants nothing to do with it. It takes guts to come out and endorse an opposing party candidate, but it also takes honor. And as he has shown, he has a lot of it.

No big news cause there are plenty of them"Obama Republican" out there.
By the way,ABC has just been moved down to Fox-like line up news channel. Congratulation to them.
Obama/08

Clinton's SD lead has been erased from over 100 to just 23. YES WE CAN!!!

BO-08, 12

If people would just read but I guess thats too much to ask given the poor state of our education system from K-12. This guy wasn't for NIxon. In fact, we defied Nixon which eventually lead to his resignation. READ PEOPLE!!!! READ!!!!

I am sure Hillary will find something nasty and negative to say about this endorsement. There again, is Hillary capable of anything else?

"If Obama wins then I'm voting for McCain!"

Frankly I am getting tired of hearing this line. I support Obama, but if Clinton wins the nomination, I will still support her, because there are major fundamental differences between what Democrats and Republicans want. You have to stand up for what you believe, no matter who the representative is. 90% of what Clinton and Obama want to do is exactly the same. If you are so easily swayed from voting from one party to another, then you probably were not that commited to begin with. Voting in spite solves no of our problems.

I tell you. Obama can drag them out of the woodwork. Obama the great silver tongued liar. Spin artist primo. Get a lock and put it on his lips. He cannot tell the truth in church. Go Hillary. Defeat these unbalanced creatures.

Obama is a better republican than a democrat anyway. The republicans have been helping him because they don't want to face Hillary in November. I'd bet that he want win Indiana in November if he beats Hillary in NOVEMBER. I believe that the "white" half of Obama appeals to caucasians and his black half appeals to african americans and other minority groups. Using language from the bible, I would that he were black or white, but since he is somewhere in between, we will all suffer.

Hillary is a liar and decietful power hungry female

McCain... When Nancy reagan endorsed him, she is one of a very few people in America who can truthfully refer to him as "Youngster"!

Nobama 08
No HillBilly 08
No McBush 08

VOTE NONE OF THE ABOVE!!!

From the Washington Post

You heard it here first. Council member and newly elected superdelegate Harry Thomas Jr., initially a supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is announcing in minutes that he will cast his vote at the Democratic National Convention in Denver for Sen. Barack Obama.

Thomas received more than 100 phone calls and e-mails from constituents who feared that he would use his power as a superdelegate to vote for Clinton despite the city's overwhelming support of Obama in the Potomac Primary.

"After meeting with the candidates and listening to my constituents, I have to honor the 83 percent who support Barack Obama," he said in an interview, referring to the results of the Democratic primary.

Everyone is rallying behind Obama!! The Winning Team!

Yes We Can!

Obama '08

Hillary the true leader finds her voice.

She shone last night. What grace and poise and intelligence.

She was brilliant.

Just one problem...
Just when I was starting to buy into the audacity of hype….I mean hope… don't parse my words.

I am a uniter, I am…. You just don't understand me.

I am a Christian, I am… I just practice a doctrine of Hate.

I don't align myself with bad people…. no I don't… I don't really know them, I didn't have fundraisers at their homes… they didn't buy me a house.

If you are not with me then you are all liars, liars pants on fire.

Oh My…. Bye Bye 'bama

1. By now all decent people should also see the nightmare of Iraq war (or at least $$$10B/month, if nothing else). And the only candidate opposed the war from the beginning – when it could hurt politically – is – Obama.

2. We had nightmare of a son of a president, now anybody wants a wife of a president? Back to royal families?

Obama 2008

Keep Going Hillary!

Keep doing what you're doing. Soon the whole world will be against you and you can fade into oblivion.

Please vote on the positions and history of the political candidates!
You can not believe it will be a good presidency if you vote for someone that makes you fell good with their rhetoric instead of with their proven record of getting things done.
They have to be able to show they will be productive and helpful to their constituents.
Do not let a lifetime of achievements and commitment to the democratic principles that has characterized Hillary be wasted upon someone that has mocked her from the beginning – HE TOOK MONEY FROM LOBBYISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE TO BE A SENATOR ONLY TO ATTACK THEM NOW??? His attack on "elitist" Washington is the ultimate hypocritical act!!!
If you need any more reason to vote for the candidate that represents the important issues instead of the one that makes you feel good, look at 2000, 2004, and what that "charismastic" candidate has done to our nation.

I think it's great that another republican is crossing over to Democrats.
I also switched. I can't see McCain uniting this country.
Hats off to Obama last night for not attacking Hillary the way she attacked him. Abc should be ashamed for asking such stupid questions instead of concentrating on economy and war.
I think people are getting so tired of news media running all the negative press.
Obama is the only person that will change the politics in Washington.
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!

All you people with bruised egos who say you will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, stop for a second and listen to what you are saying. You really want Bush politics in the white house again? Obama and Clinton share many of the same views, Obama just is doing it better. Get behind the democratic candidate that wins.

Another one for the day common PHILLY let close the deal on the 22nd OBAMA for real CLINTON for nothing.......................

After hearing Hillary Clinton sound like John McCain, republicans must be confused about who is the Republican they should be supporting, and now don't like any of their choices and choose Obama.

Charlene you are the fool. Vote for McCain I hope you got your finances in place for the next 4 years. People like you are crazy; I mean think Hillary and Obama pretty much have the same views and policies. So why vote for someone who is totally opposite of what you what or do you know what you? You only hurt yourself. Remember Obama don't need us we need him.

Message to Charlene (Hilary Supporter)

How about you learn to spell the name of the person you plan to support. Senator Hillary Clinton, N.Y. I do not support her, but I do know how to spell her name correctly. You spelled it wrong twice, kind of like she told he Bosnia lie, twice. My mistake, she told the lie 4 times to the American People. Please don't post messages if you do not know how to spell.

"Obama 08"

Senator Obama WILL BE our next president of the UNITED States.

I was happy to hear Hillary say last night that she will support him after he receives the nomination. The most important thing is that the democrats get back into the White House.

HAHAHAAA to all the salty republicans who lost one and to all the tart Billary supporters who wish they had one. Just as Ross Perot stated: "You're going to hear a large "SWOOSHING" sound, and it's going to be all of Americas jobs leaving the country." He was warning us of the mistake of NAFTA. Now that large "SWOOSHING" sound will be the crushing force of Super Delegates careening to ....

OBAMA 2008/2012

To all the nay sayers

PHILADELPHIA, PA—Former supporters of Senator Clinton from across Pennsylvania today declared that they have switched their support to Senator Obama due to Clinton’s increasingly negative campaign tactics. Their announcements come on the heels of a debate in which Senator Clinton launched a series of misleading, personal attacks and reports that her campaign is now running a nearly 100% negative advertising effort on television.

The newly minted Obama supporters noted that Senator Clinton’s tired, say-anything attack politics had let Pennsylvania down for decades and praised Obama for putting forth a positive vision for change and focusing on the issues that matter to them.

Obama08

How does a Republican vote for Obama? If you truly are a republican in your views Obama is about the last person you want in office. There is nothing halfway moderate about any of his policies. Be careful with his talk.

Well ,Charlene 1st you need to know how to spell Hillary before you can vote for her ...
2nd if you or any other Democrat are that "petty" to vote GOP because your seriously flawed ,divisive and liar of a would be President didn't win the nomination you'll deserve just what you get in another 4 years of GOP policies that only serve the wealthest of our citizens. Grow up
This isn't about "my choice didn't win so i'll show you" ...i'll just throw my vote to the opposition ...this about who can best bring this great country of ours together in order to address the issues that we as a nation face and if you seriuosly think that any GOP Rep. or Senator will work with President Hillary Clinton just remember that this grind lock that we see in Washington didn't start with a Clinton ,but it was perfected during the Clinton years .And yes it isn't her fault that the GOP has this disdain for her and her husband ,but that doesn't make it any less true that it exists and if she is elected will only serve to further alienate the other party that is needed in order to get anything done in Washington.

Look at all the Hillary supporters typing in all caps! sour losers! Why is CNN not posting anything about the 5 new endorsements including the HRC supporter that switch from her to the winning team.

Go Obama 08

Now this is funny!! It wouldn't surprise me if a slew of Republicans endorsed Obama-–he is the easiest to beat!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out reason behind this endorsement!

The debate was a setup. Obama was supposed to retaliate to the Clinton attacks but........Obama was wise enough to understand the intelligance of the people. Obama knew the people would see the game plan and look to see Obamas reaction. Senator Obama gave Clinton all the rope she needed and she took it. She wrapped herself in the attack mode. She aimed and fired her guns. Like all great warriors, Senator Obama saw the waste of energy, picked his target, waited for the right moment and controled the debate, made Clinton yield "yes, yes, yes" and is preparing for the final Democratic conflict.

He has more resources because the people have given them to him, he has more support because the people give it to him and Senator Obama will win the Democratic convention and go on to win the presidency because the people of America are no longer willing to not pay attention. The people of America are awake and ready and willing to demand a government, Of the People, For The People and By the People. HHUURRRRAAYY!!!!!!!!

First of all I could care less about a Flag Pin I did not see anyone with one on last night the debate was very bias. Sen. Clinton is so hell bent on telling people they can not get rid of there family memebers they why didn't they ask her why didn't she get rid of Mark Penn do he have some secrets on her, he's not a family memeber. Why didn't they ask her about NAFTA I was very dissappointed in the interview ABC should not host another one EVER.

I see the angry people are out in full force! The name calling is so atrocious. BTW, the debate was not biased. For once, Obama was asked serious questions. And, as for polling, it changes every minute. If Obama wins, I will vote for him, but he sure is not my first choice. He claims to not partake in negative campaigning, but he is fine with his campaign doing it. You gotta love it.

Go Hillary!

Ruckelshaus doesn't want McCain as the countries next President neither does he want Hillary. He knows Obama will unit the parties that is why he is supporting him. This man has been in the White house with a lot of shady Presidents I think he see's that Barack is a man of substance. Of course he's not perfect but he has Americas best interest at heart. Hillary only wants to make more money. The Republicans want Hillary to win because she helped them get rid of the only candidate they couldn't beat then they will slaughter her in November. They have a plan, I heard this from a reliable resource.
My candidate+ your candidate =Democratic Party we have the same goal and that is to take back the Whitehouse.

Barack the Whitehouse!!!!!!!!!!

The whole debate last night was set up to trap Obama, but he handled himself very well.
Keep the endorsements coming....................................................................

That's so cool. He can unite the old, young, rich, poor, democratic, republican, black/white, hispanc/asian, and so on. Hillary doesn't have nothing on this unless McCain endorses her but he couldn't do because he's running against her.

Actually, the Republicans were urging voters in Texas to vote for Hillary because they know she is a joke and will get walked-on by McCain. Anyone who makes up stories due to "lack of sleep" needs to go rest in a nursing home. Does she think she'll get a vacation in the White House???

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome.

Can all these HRC supporters who keep saying they will vote for McCain... blah blah blah..., please get over yourselves.

Just go do it. Vote for McCain and more dead American soldiers and more wasted billions. Sell out on our children's future out of spite, you pompous bunch of hypocrits!

Who do you think you are scaring?... For every moronic (mind you not all of them are, just the most of the ones posting in these forums) HRC supporter that switches to McCain, 2 more open-minded and intellegent republican and independent voters switch to Obama.

So just go do it, and spare us your inflated view of your own self worth.

Wow...that's almost as fatal as the Bush endorsement.

Yeah the only reason Republicans are endorsing BO is because he'll be easier to beat in the general election, FOOLS!

Hey, that is great. Maybe with all these old used-up politicans backing him, he won't fall so hard. After, we sure would not want his ego to be smashed, broken or sprained.

He was so UNPRESIDENTIAL during last night's debate. He almost answered a question.

Three more days and the BIGEST LIAR IN AMERICAN POLITICS – HRC will be history!!!!!
Go Barack, Go!!! We love you, boy!!!

Excellent!!! Obama08 YES WE CAN!

Yes we can....God is good, and worthy to be praised
Senator Obama we are all praying for you and know you will make all of us and America proud when you become President of this great country....forget about the naysayers and the kitchen sink and the dirty politics that has absolutely nothing to do with managing this country's economy and infrastructure...remember "we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us"

This is FANTASTIC!! He won't let them keep him down!!

OBAMA 08

The Hillary supporters on this forum are the best thing to happen to Barack Obama since James Carville.

Keep it up , people. It's really helping!

Of course he endorses Obama because Hillary was on the democratic committee to impeach Nixon long ago.

Hey all you Clinton Supporters, When Obama is the nominee in November not if, go and vote for McSame. Those of us independents and Obama Democrats don't want, don't need you. This is a movement that has been started with his campaign and positive "YES WE CAN" change things individuals is what we want and need. We are sick of you saying you hate Obama, he isn't president material, he is snake oil salesman, etc etc. Fine,! Then go vote for McCain, we DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT WANT OR NEED YOU. Wallow in your own stupidity and ignorance and cling to a political past best forgotton and long gone.

Charlene, April 17th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Good Riddance, because I dont think Hillary will win the nomination. If for whatever reason Obama is not the nominee, I WILL vote for Hillary. By the way, I am strong Obama supporter.

BO-08.

Great endorsement!!! Two men that don't play pointics as usual. Go Obama!!! This will be over in June and then Senator Clinton will endorse senator Obama.

I think it's silly for people to say if their candidate doesn't win, then they'll vote for McCain. How much sense does that make? Hillary and Barack are alike policy wise in many ways, but you'd rather pick someone who wants to continue the horrible ways this country has been run for the past 8 years. I love Obama and I think he'd be a great president. But if he doesn't get the nom, don't look for a McCain sign on my lawn. Use your brain people and stop acting like an elementary school student !! Good luck to either Hillary or Barack, though Barack is my candidate!!!

Last night's "debate" was nothing but a joke for the first 45 minutes. With all the important issues, we got questions about flag label pins! Please, I don't drape myself in the flag; am I not patriotic? Those first gotcha questions were a disgrace to journalism and ABC should apologize. And, gee, do you think George Stephanopolis might still have ties to the Clintons? To think I debated between voting for Hillary or Obama. I'm in PA and I'm for Obama, and I'm voting.

I'm not sure if having Nixon's people backing Barack is really a good idea. Don't get me wrong, it's great he gets their endorsement and all but I wonder if this could hurt him in the long run, which I hope it doesn't.

Obama 2008

Another meaningless endorsement. Imagine, however, the reversal of the comments above if he had endorsed Clinton. I wonder if CNN would have even posted the story.

Three things....
1. In the past many Clinton supporters (fewer Obama supporters) were willing to vote for McCain if Clinton didn't win. They were not looking at the facts, they were not looking at the issues...they have their resons for supporting Hillary and we can leave it at that.

2. Now, after all the negativity and divisivness being spread by the Clinton campain, more and more Obama supporters that would have gladly voted for Clinton would she have won the primaries are deciding that they would no way vote for her. They would prefer to not vote at all, or some even to vote for McCain who seems a lot more scrupulous that Clinton.

3. So many Clinton supporters look at endorsements like these and say that the repiblicans want Obama to win, because he would be easier to beat. The republicans (ask Rush) want this to continue as long as possible and want Hillary to win. She is running on expereince as he strongpoint, and can't hold a candle to McCain. So that arguement makes no sense. As I said before, the Obama supporters are the one who a paying attention to the facts and not to the lies ( or even the lies about the lies that Bill Clinton tried to spin)

obama had plenty of opportuinities to attack hillary on bosnia e.t.c but like a wise president, HA he restrained himself, that is the kind of good judgement we need from the next president, good judgement and common sense!

Oh !!!!!!! You mean no one knows that George Stephanopoulis is friends with Shawn Hannity of FOX news who hates Obama. Sean Hannity hounded him into asking those questions especially the one about Ayers. Shawn has been trying to get that story in the main stream media for months now. George is also friends with the Clintons because he was the news anchor on Whithouse hill when Bill Clinton was in the whitehouse so the "debate" (for lack of a better word) was a "tabloid interrogation" that was set up by Shawn Hannity who is a Republican and is a extreme leftist. Shame on George!!!!!!!!!! He wasted Americans time to do a favor for his buddy and I hope he regrets it because everytime I see him on TV I will turn him off.

Oh and as far as Obama not doing wel, I am sure he was in shock over being asked questions that had nothing to do with how he is going to get us out of this mess. It threw him of of his game which I would have been to if I thought I was going to da debate that ended up being a personal attack. It would have been fair if they asked Hillary how she could connect with the people of America when she and her husband make 20 million dollars a year and Obama made 4 million.

The Clintons made 5 times more than he did last year

Bruce Springsteen and Ruckelshaus Rock on Obama!!!!

Pleeeeease post this it is good stuff !!!!!!!!

OK. Am I the only one who thinks it is sexist that only men have to where flag lapel pins? Hillary does't wear one on her pants suit.

For someone so against "old style" politics, he sure has a lot of "old style" politicians in his corner.

This is refreshing..now I give the Clinton campaign 48 hours to find them a Republican endorsing Hillary.

Well, HrC did endorse Obama last night, so why not?

And to John, who so eloquently claims that "Any red-blooded American who would back Obama, is no American at all!", listen up: probably not everybody likes your version of what it means to be a "red-blooded American."

You are an honest man. God bless you.

Any of you Obama supporters read the mailers that were sent to PA homes? Obama is not negative???? This man is a smooth talker and a con man. he says something and does something else. he cannot be trusted. i have never seen so many negatives in one mailer.
No holds barred. Obama whines about being attacked and then gets insecure because he can never win in any debate. debates actually display his lack of knowledge and total ignorance.
therefore Obama realizes he cannot win on his skills, goes back and sends out negative attack mailers against clinton.
thats who he is and the earlier people realize this, the better we will be.
this is about all of us. we want someone who knows what they are doing. America cannot do another experiment and cannot trust someone like him to run the country. hope this reaches at least a few and makes sense to you.
Change the direction in PA. Ensure that Obama does not even get 30% of the votes

Awesome news for Obama supporters.
Coming on top of this endorsement.
Carter won for Obama the biggest endorsement of all
that of HAMAS the Palestinian Organisation
Ahmed Yousuf speaking on behalf of Hamas said
" Obama is the Guy with the Vision "
Vow, what an endorsement !.

CNN can never post this.
Because CNN is a biased network

Thank you ABC for doing what MSNBC and CNN won't do: ask the tough questions fairly of both candidates.

Frame the debate as part of the constitution, and not as a popularity contest.

For holding BOTH equally accountable.

Bye Bye CNN.... Hello ABC

I dont think Rev.Wright is on the right track when he spouts off stuff such as D-n the USA and I think that whole church is filled with anti-American hooplah.Or should I say anti-white.I've not been to his church but I can say that I dont think that God would appreciate what is being preached on his behalf.I believe that Mr.Obama is filled with exactly the same morals as Rev.Wright.I just hope Mr.Wright keeps going on with his so called preaching because it gives us an insight to what Obama is really about.My vote goes ..... Hillary, A true American.

HAHAHHAHAHA you Hillary supporters think Obama is an Easy target, Hillary has a track record twice as bad.
Its been shown she cant even take care of her own marriage, her own state that she is a senator for.
Her husband, although a man I respect, was IMPEACHED!! have you all forgotten that???
Shes a liar and a terrible on at that.

She had an early lead cause everyone say Clinton and thought of BILL, the only reason she has lasted so long is because of the last name, If she kept her maiden name, Obama would be the nominee by now and this whole thing would be done with.
Now she is just wasting our time.

OBAMA '08

Ruckelshaus is a director for the Pharmacia Corporation. You Obama people need to do better research. Just another endorser for Obama to keep pharmaceutical prices high. I'm a democrat, but I don't think either of our nominees can be listened to on issues like NAFTA, Universal Health Care, or Foreign Policy. They lie about some, and are too inexperienced in others.

All the Obama '08 supporters, and Clinton '08 supporters should realize we let sex and race get in our way of finding a substantial candidate. I was for Hillary. Now I'm tired.

Welcome Obamacans!

Backlash.

ABC was not biased like the cable networks who worship Obama. So they asked real tough questions of BOTH candidates.

Hillary kicked Obama's butt last night so all the Obama supporters are trying to build him up again in any stupid way they can.

Yes, go back to the past to make your message of the politics of tomorrow stick.

Yep same old politics.

The hype of hope.

Hey CNN, my dog (who is a hard-core, far-right Republican) just endorsed Obama. Where's the story on the Ticker?

Who cares that this old dinosaur from the second-worst administration in US history (the current one being in first position) endorses Barack? It's nonsense. Why is anyone listening?

I want to talk about the flag pin controversy..where is Clinton's pin????? Is this a gender issue where only the men get called out for it? The debate was biased and reminded me af a KKK lynching. My gosh ABC looked like hacks. . CNN cannot be beat for political coverage.
Any endorsement is a good thing..except Jimmy Carter.. I wish he would have supported Hillabeans instead.

I'm a Republican....and I have contributed to Obama..and plan to support him (never Hillary....ever)

Awesome news for Obama supporters.
Coming on top of this endorsement.

Do you not know who Ruckelshaus is? Man, that's bad.....
I am Swiss, and I know it.....
It's non of my business, but: GO OBAMA

Independent for Hillary, Pittsburgh –

Doesn't read the whole article , probably got one of them there "Adjustible Rate Mortgages" and they are losing the house.

Read the article, and know your history!

Obama is uniting the country, if you can not see this you are blind.

HRC is going down.

OBAMA 08'

Now what HILLARY? Please quote me one single influential republican that has switched sides for you?

Hey Matthew,

You just go on believing that Obama is just a "puppet" strung to more powerful Washington insiders.

All I can say is, I'd rather have a "puppet" President who somehow still manages to speak frankly and HONESTLY about issues that actually matter, than a President who blatantly lies, attacks, and seeks to BLAME others when under pressure.

Sen Obama is the refreshing, charismatic and galvanizing leader this country has seen since JKF. You ought to find a way to appreciate him and his positive laedership message - he's going to be your next President.

Its so over for Hillary, she needs to go back to NY, everyone is rally around Barack because he trying to bring a new kind of politics, its time to turn the page, its time to write a new chapter in history

yes we can

Obama/Richardson 08

Obama/Gore 08

Obama/Sebelius or Obama/ Webb

More media misinformation about how unlikely it is that Hillary can catch up in popular vote – she is currenly only 94,000 votes behind Obama and will likely take the lead after Pennsylvania, Yes, Florida and Michigan count – popular votes were certified in those two states and the DNC cannot scrub those although they may not seat the delegates selected as a result of those votes. This still doesn't change the fact that there is a popular vote total that the media is hiding from the public.
It amazes me how one sided in coverage CNN and several other news agencies are. Slam Clinton, poor little B Obama….How about asking Obama….how much did Rezko actually finance for you and how much was related to your being elected? Your spiritual advisor makes Bin Lauden look as though they believe the same things, and what about your friendly neighborhood terrorist, Bill Ayers? Your campaign admittedly said you were friendly and on 9-11-01 this fool said he was not sorry for the bombings he started in the US. And he is a professor.. Please, only in a campaign….I believe Obama should get out before he gives this election to McCain

What a unifyer...

that's my boy.

Wow, Obama transends! This is good news.

We heard you the first time, charlene ... you're voting for McCain. Who cares!

George Stephanapolous worked in the Bill Clinton Administration and I heard that he was promised a position in Hillary's Administration too, if she were to win. Considering his pathetic performance in last night's debate, I tend to believe that this is true. Conflict of interest? Absolutely. You can complain to ABC News at: http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3052660

Thanks Kim
I liked the logic of this post:

The two individuals that were pardoned did their time and they did not make statements after 9/11 that they should have done more harm.

There is a difference. Ayers never did any time and he made these statements after 9/11. He and his wife hosted a fund raiser for Obama.

Why didn't MSM ask Obama about Ayers until ABC had the guts to do it? Now Obama supporters, in typical fashion want to try and flip it as a Clinton Issue.

Hillary is not accountable for the pardons of ANY past presidents.

Bill Clinton Pardoned them he was the President not Hillary Clinton. You can't have it both ways either she was an intricate part of the Administration or she was not. If she is going to take the bad, then she needs to get credit for the good also.

Which is it Obamabots and CNN? Which direction do you wanna go in, a pardon is not a friendship, when is Ayers going to do his time?

This is great. This shows that Senator Obama can bring the parties together, Repubs, Independs, Dems. We are all one in the real world and people just need to see that! Hillary Clinton is still distroying the Democratic Party with her backstabing and negative talk. She is making people really dislike her and not want her in the oval office, because, she is divisive and she is showing that "IF SHE CAN'T WIN THEN OBAMA WON'T WIN" if she has anything to do with it. That's why she said that McCain will make a better President than Senator Obama. No one is talking about that. Also she always says how she and McCain are GOOD FRIENDS! I stopped my family (7 children and 93 close friends) begging them not to vote for her. If she turns her back on her own Party what will she do for us?

Oh, if ABC would have discussed Hillary’s lies and ethical issues from those Watergate days. Now that is a REAL ISSUE.

Same with the Peter Paul vs Clinton case where Hillary tried to hide illegal contributions. Case is expected to begin on April 25. NOW that is a REAL ISSUE.

A Message for all the Hillary supporters who continually make the statement "If its not Hillar, Im Voting for McCain" you understand the differences between Obama and Clinton on the issues are VERY VERY Small.

However, if you prefer to vote for McCain, thats your choice. Its also a statement that your Happy to be a Republican. Just understand that as you watch the Bush Administration on the News each night ...remember to say it to yourself ... "I'm a republican"

Say it enough times, it won't sting so much come November

Hillary supporters:

Unless you want to spend another 8 years being angry and bitter about who is in the White House, you might want to lower the hate rhetoric and get on the O train. The Clintons had their shot, move over or get on board. Just stop fighting, it's really unbecoming and will make you and your lives uglier.

Line up a few more Republican, Obama. They looove you! You think the question were tough last night, Obama man. Just wait. It isn't over yet in this primary. Neither is it the end of what will come out concerning you and all your little friends. Spend your money supporters. Love it and so does the Republicans.

Gees Obama is a crying little baby and such a wimp! Oh, but that the MO...play the Race card...poor me.

Who is the better man?

Hillary of course!

Fred: "LOL, Watergate….just like Obama…all crooks!!

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

Did you even read the article????
"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."

This is a man of honor and principle, not some crook.

****SUPER DELEGATES****

You can vote for Barack Obama and end this now. We must have a honest person that people trust and that is not Hilliary.

You don't owe the Clinton's anything and they don't own you.

Another Republican for Barack Obama and proud of it. I will be making another donation.

TEXAS

If Obama can get the Police Unions and the Republican death penalty lobby to agree to video tapping confessions as a win-win, he can work other miracles.

I feel that a few rotten apples are trying to spoil it for good Democrats and Republicans that actually want to get things done and that are willing to compromise in order to do it.

You can't always get what you want but everyone can take incremental steps towards improvement. It is better than doing nothing at all which is what we have now.

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

Hilary 08

Noah,
Correction... Report did not say they were friends but since Hillary supporters always want to twist the facts, I guess I can understand why you got confused.

Cheryl for Hillary,
What a negative tone you are taking?

“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,”

he is sooo right about this, and the most important thing is that in november we do not get stuck with a president mccain. all you people who voted for bush, once or twice, i sure hope you learned your lesson and vote democrat no matter what your party affiliation.

mccain=US attacks by iran; further money problems for you and me; more money squandered on the failed occupation of iraq; more of his fellow politicians being physically attacked and more women being called the c*word...

Birds of a feather stick together.

NObama and Nixon.

Hillary '08, if not, McCain '08.

I'm part of the Democratic base that will vote for a Republican for the first time in my life if left with a choice of NObama or McCain.

hhmmmm, maybe Nader – at least he has a track record.

It amazes me how no matter who it is that endorses Obama CN makes a big deal out of it .Yet the masonist union in Pennsylvannia 45,000 strong endorsed Clinton and there wasn't a darn thing mentioned about it .Very typical how this election coverage has been the past year .And of course this comment won't get posted !!!

Too bad Ruckelshaus was fired for showing integrity in Watergate scandal. Otherwise he would have definitely gone for the Whitewatergate scandal and then the Zippergate scandals and we would not have seen Billary in the race.

Persons with integrity, be they Dems or Republicans, are welcome in Team Obama.

You'd have to be a simple-minded oaf to think that they are "backing" him because they think he'd be the best for the job. They are backing him because they KNOW that they would and will be able to walk all over the egotistical stuffed shirt named Obama.

NObama '08

Climb ABOARD the "O" Train cause it's heading to the White House!!

Otherwise the rest of you can ride in the Kaboooooosssss in the BACK.

For all you counterfeits saying you will vote McCain if Hillary doesn't win, you are FAKE!

You are not even voting for Hillary. You are deliberately blogging away at that old song because you want to intimidate Obama voters to jump ship.

You are planning all along to vote for McCain but want to act like Hillary is the only candidate that can win when you don't even plan on voting for her.

The reason you want Hillary to win is because McCan CAN beat her but he CAN'T beat Obama.

Stop the games because we are not moved, persuaded or convinced.

It's down to desparation time now and Hillbilly and mayor McCheese are scrambling to find more mud to sling.

Hillary probably would line up with him. What in the world would that be called?

Grandpa and the Liar, with the sequel, the Liar goes to Jail.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!

to hillary supporters who question why obama can draw republicans into his winning bid: SHE HERSELF endorsed mccain over obama. why would i vote for someone who thinks that if SHE HERSELF isn't the nominee, then mccain should have it?

yes
we
can!

All these Clinton supporters who claim they would vote for McCain if she does not win the nomination kill me. You would betray democratic party ideals due to a dislike of a self-made person like Obama!!?? No. You're just all racists! Admit it...you'll feel better.

He's just mad because Hillary refused to join "Democrats for Nixon" in 1972. Instead, our Hillary worked for Sen George McGovern (now beloved elder statesman of the Democratic party).

Here is an honest politician. He was almost fired for standing up for what he believed was right. Great role model for all politicians.

Republicans are only voting for obama Because they know they can't beat him in the General. LOL

Strategy for a sure win for the Republicans

Obama is worthless and should never be President

“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. –

Very true statement! I am a Republican and I support Obama. He is the only candidate I have donated money to as well.

The Republicans know that McCain vs Obama; that they will have a definite win so let's boost up Obama to make sure he's the opposition. Smart plan... and it's working!!!

I am a Democrat who will switch party lines if Obama is the nominated candidate.

people who are more interested in rezko, wright, ferraro, penn, norman hsu etc and not the running candidates are very foolish. lets stick to the issues. even republicans are sick and tired of the old politics thats why they are going for ... YES WE CAN.

I disagree, The GOP would rather run against HIll. That's what you see on Fox, it's all about Hill. But their are 336 super delegates and 566 state delegates left. Hill will need to win 60% and Obama 44% to lock the nomination before the convention. By advertising that Nixon era GOP'er are for Obama, is meet to dissuade Obama supporter. The second reason the GOP'ers want Hill to keep it up, is because it shortens the time frame for when McCane will have to really start running for pres.

SUSAN GROW UP. YOU JEALOUS PUP. WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND. WAIT UNTILL O.B. GETS KNOCKED OFF HIS HORSE. YOU ALL WILL BE WHINNING THAN. THE BEST ONE WILL WIN ,AND IT SURE THE HELL ISNT O.B.

ABC news = Fox News = tabloid journalism. What a shame.

Don't worry, despite the objectives of Hillary Clinton comments, she can't win so she is trying her best to bring you down. Be careful with that LIAR!
But don’t forget she is your friend, so she says. I admire the way you handled her during the Debate. You are well spoken and educated, and some people can't stand the direction in which you are headed. You deserve to be President. You have been through a lot.

I know this campaign has taken a lot of strength, being tested, questioning your political knowledge. It's going to be all right. Stand up and keep your cool.

You are my sunshine, and a lot of other people. I will be at the poll bright and early to vote for you, and don't let no one break your spirit. Bless you, President Obama!

I understand that Republicans have been saying publicly for the last week that they are now really looking forward to having Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee. Before they were secretive about it. Now they can't contain their joy. They believe as do most voters that Senator Obama will be the Democratic nominee. I can't believe we're going to have four more years of Bush policies (more exactly, lack thereof).

Oh my god, how can this not be good news and a blow to the Hillary camp. Cheryl for Hillary where are you? You have been so negative against Obama, but people are seeing the truth about Hillary. She has lied about NAFTA, lied about her feelings with the Colombia free-trade deal, even though she spent some of the 800,000 dollars that they gave Bill. There involvement with China, and just released, documents showing Hillary writing to Canada about NAFTA and letting them know that it is just talk during this campaign. Wake up PA, don't let this crook win and be closer to helping you loose your job. Remember, she is a big supporter for H1B visas.

I love how all you Hillary supporters will vote for McCain in November if your "girl" does not win the nomination. All it does is set the Repulicans up for a sweep in November and McCain can continue the war and appoint Supreme Court Judges to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Hillary!! THANKS FOR DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!! WOOOO!!!

MCCAIN/HILLARY 08!!! (The Dream ticket of the Old & Bitter)

this guy stood up to Nixon and the Watergate mess. Ruckelshaus is a hero.

Thanks, Mr. R. because of you, I am proud of being a Hoosier again!

Fred,

Did you read the article? This guy was not a crook. He was fired by Nixon because Nixon wanted him get rid of a independent counsel that was investigating Watergate. He was one of the good guys. Oh, I forgot you don't really care about the actual issues you and your fellow Clinton supporters just like to attack attack attack. Just like your hero Billary. By the way, its not working.

Hillary....just say ouch. We know that hurt. Do what we did in grade school when we lost a fight....yell "I give up" "i give up"

Good, building a winning coalition is important for success.

Chuck Hagel ... are you listening?

Go Barack '08/12

Thank you Wiliam Ruckelshaus. Wow a Republican with a conscience and it seems he doesn't have a question about the good Senators patriotism. Well done sir.

Yes We Can & Yes We Should
Obama 08'

Obama has definitely attracted this Republican from Oklahoma.

SUPER DELIGATES ARE NOT NAIVE LIKE YOU YOUNG O.B. SUPPORTERS. THEY KNOW ITS OUR COUNTRY THAT THEIR PUTTING IN A CANIDATE'S HANDS. O.B. IS JUST NOT QUALIFIED ,AND HAS NO TRACK RECORD. HELPING CHURCH COMMUNITIES ISNT A TRACK RECORD FOR BEING A LEADER OF A COUNTRY. GET REAL.

Meanwhile, the ghost of another Watergate figure, H. R. Haldeman, announced his support for Hillary Clinton, citing her "willingness to do what it takes to get the job done."

Loved ABC.

Finally a news channel who WAS NOT AFRAID to ask media darling Obama "The Almighty" hard questions.

Obama was exposed as hypocritical, unskilled when unscripted and this race needs to go on. Thanks to Clinton (and I do not even like the woman) she has been able to hang on and prolong this race to expose Obama as the inexperienced rhetoric spewing amateur he truly is and those in the democratic party should be thankful that these ugly truths are being exposed NOW and not in the general election.

Aware – clearly you dont read the news. McCain himself said hes rooting for Hillary. You dont think the Republicans have been waiting for this moment? They knew hillary had aspirations for the white house in the 90's, they would love nothing more to tear her apart. I mean she will cry again to soften the blow.

However, Republicans dont care about tears.

Seems like Hillary supporters have something in common with small town folks with a disintegrating economy.....bitterness.

Count on Obama being asked in the next ABC debate: "So Obama, CNN reports that you were, in fact, responsible for Watergate. Can you unequivocally denounce and reject your connection to William Ruckelshaus?"

Does Hillary wear flag pin?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I guess my blood must be another color then.

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...

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

Obama 2008

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

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

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.

JAKE,CA

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU.

ME MEET IN PA

HILLARY WE LOVES YOU

HILLARY 08

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."

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

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

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

Hillary and Nader

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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!

Texas With Obama!

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..

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.

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....

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

Hilary 08

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.

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

Hillary and Nader

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!!!

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

Maybe the Pope will endorse Obama before he leaves.

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

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!!!!!

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

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.

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!

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.

This is great news.

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

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

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

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.

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

Hillary and Nader.

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.

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!!!

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

Hillary and nader Now.

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

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!!!

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

OBAMA '08

way to go Obama!

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.

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

Hey – Allen, Lubbock, TX

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

His name is John McCain.

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...

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?

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

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.

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.

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..

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hillary Clinton or John McCain 08

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.

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

Awesome.

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!

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!!!!!!!!!

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

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.

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 !!!

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!

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

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?

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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'

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.

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!

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

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.

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

Hillary and Nader, suckas!

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?

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

OBAMA 08'

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.

This is great news

Keep on talkin Hillary, keep on talkin

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!

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!

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

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!!!

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

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!!!

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!

Thank you Mr. Ruckelshaus.

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!!!

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

Thanks for the endorsement.

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.

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.

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.....

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!!!

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

Obama 08

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.

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

Hillari and Nader 2008

Wow... Republicans and Dems coming together?

OBAMA '08

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

Yes We Can!

Obama '08

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

Welcome Obamacans.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Obama 08.

WOW!

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.

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 !!!

Looks like another Rovian type trick. Beware.

Can you imagine something like that happening for Hillary Clinton ?

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.

Welcome! To Obama 08'

"Obama is a uniter"

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Is this a retaliation to the Republican party?

Another looser endorsing a looser.

Hillary '08

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

"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.

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?

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

oooooobaaaaaaaaammmmma will win 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!!!!

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

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

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

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!!!

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!

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!!

Oh, fred.

That is the change obama is talking about

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes We Can!

Obama 08

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Thank you for supporting Obama,,

Yes WE Can..

Obama '08

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

YES WE CAN !!!!!

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

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

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

. . . .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.

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.

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

MORE. MORE. MORE.

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.

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

GO OBAMA!!!!

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

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

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.

Now CNN this is a reall story.

Thank you Mr. Ruckelshaus.

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.

Everyone knows that Obama will make a Great President !!

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!

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?

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.

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. !

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN FOR OBAMA-

SUPERDELEGATES TAKE NOTE!!

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.

SOB, SOB SOB.

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

WE LOVE YOU HILLARY

HILLARY 08

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

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

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!

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

The trains leaving and Hillary supporters are being left behind!

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?

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

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

OBAMA 08

Welcome to the winning team!

Mr. Patterson:

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