The candidates will appear on WWE Monday.
The candidates will appear on WWE Monday.

(CNN) – The road to the White House apparently runs through WWE Monday Night Raw.

All three presidential candidates are scheduled to make taped appearances on tonight's episode, hoping to tap into the show's approximately 5 million weekly viewers. The messages will also come on the eve of the crucial Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania.

WWE says the appearances follow an invitation both Clinton and Obama to appear live on the show to settle the prolonged Democratic presidential race in the wrestling ring. This is not the first time the WWE has waded into politics: it unsuccessfully challenged Al Gore and George Bush to agree to an arm wrestling match in 2000. It has also launched a voter registration drive called Smackdown Your Vote.

Read what Clinton, aka "Hill-Rod," and Obama will say tonight after the jump. (The McCain campaigns have not released their scripts.)

Clinton on WWE

Hi, I’m Hillary Clinton. But tonight, in honor of the WWE, you can call me Hill-Rod.

This election is starting to feel a lot like “King of the Ring.” The only difference? The last man standing may just be a woman.

The truth is, this election is so important. The next president will face a stack full of difficult challenges right from the opening bell… to fix the economy, bring our troops home from Iraq, and make college more affordable. You need a president who will go to the mat for you. And that’s exactly what I’ll do.

I’ve been knocked down, but I’ve always gotten back up. And I know how to take a hit for the American people. And if things get a little tough, I may even have to deliver the “people’s elbow.”

Because this country is worth fighting for.

Now, I promise to stick to the political arena. So don't worry Randy Orton you're safe... for now.

When it comes to standing up for the American people though, I am ready to rumble.

Barack Obama on WWE

Hey WWE fans – I hope you're all enjoying the program tonight. You know, this is a historic time for America. It's not just that the reign of Randy Orton may soon be coming to an end. It's that at this moment, in this election, we have a chance to finally end business-as-usual in Washington. For a long time now, we've had a politics where our leaders go after each other like they're competing to become King of the Ring instead of coming together to provide universal health care, fix our economy, and solve our other problems. That's what I'm running for President to change. So to the special interests who've been setting the agenda in Washington for too long – and to all the forces of division and distraction that have stopped us from making progress for the American people – I've got one question: Do you smell what Barack is cooking?

CAN YOU SMMEEELLLLL WHAT BARACK IS COOKING

2theHill   April 21st, 2008 6:42 pm ET

The WWF smack down took place at the last debate. Hillary and Obama got different questions at this debate he could not piggy back off of her answers as he has done in the previous debate, he came off looking very much out of place. Obama could not come up with a basic financial economic answer. Any financial person knows that if you are allowed to keep more of your capital gain the economy will get better because you have more to spend. How many men can speak intelligently on the variety of subjects that have been thrown at Hillary during these debates to trip her up? Each time she comes out on top with good sharp strong answers. When Barack Obama is ask to respond he has no answers of his own, he just piggy back off of Hillary's answer.

Everyone knows that if they are truly honest with themselves they know Hillary is the better candidate. If she was a man in this race, Obama would be long gone. Hillary is a very smart woman and that's one of the major reasons people are talking so negative about her. To be honest we all know Obama is where he is because news media is afraid to criticize him and be label as trying to keep the black man down. This race is about race and not who is the best candidate. The republicans will not give a hoot about Obama blackness, if he is the nominee. They are going to point out to the black community how Obama is ashamed of them because he does not want to be seen at any all black functions. They are going to run their paid advertisements that will swift boat him that even two life jackets will not save him.

Rachel   April 21st, 2008 6:42 pm ET

As a Canadian observer – I know politics is dirty but I have never witnessed anything as filthy dirty as this Democratic race. The reasons for you not voting for either Hillary or Obama are absolutely ridiculous. Oh and just for your info – I can't see any other country i n the world that would vote for the same old, same old Hillary. Every head of state would rather deal with Obama. See world for Obama.com. Bill Clinton is coming to Toronto for a fund raiser for his Billary. Why should they get campaign funds from other coun tries. I wonder what he will file that under in his tax returns. Maybe with the 15m undisclosed.

Sandie   April 21st, 2008 6:39 pm ET

God Bless America, this most beautiful country on the world!!!!!

Louis, New York   April 21st, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Clinton has been and will continue to be self serving. It was what she came to NY for and lied in 2004 when she said she would NOT run for president ever. She is untrustworthy and has done NOTHING as a senator with the immense power she could wield for it's people.
She is a big disappointment, but I tried to believe her anyway. I won't be fooled again.

Bob   April 21st, 2008 5:51 pm ET

I have just been contacted by several ex-precinct chairs to join a Independants for Hillary Clinton. That should she lose the nomination, a write in campaign could be effective for those choosing not to vote for O Bama. All States must allow a write in even those with toucn screens. It's a different ballot.from the others.

eddie n. powellnye   April 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Stehen : My reality is that of a man in his fifty's that justy got his right to vote for a Black man in 1992. The wars I had to figth against the Regans and Clintons just to get minotrities and women the right to run for local offices almost cost me my life and family of 8 children. The same people that you think you know are what I had to experience
until the US Attorney General's Civil Right Division ruled through a consent decree that I was 100% right. I has a cross burnt in my yard were my children stood, watch and cried. That is my reality. Now what is yours. When I talk, I only talk reality. My wisdom comes from reality. I have lived through 10 presidents. I cried for Jfk and responded to his call and have been a medical MD in rural NC for 30 yrs. When I talk at least I follow that line of reasoning that if you have not walked in my shoes please do not engae one's mouth before engaging one's brain.
'THAT IS MY REALITY'
20000 or more listen. I side with no one.

PAL   April 21st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Instead of belittling the event, let's remember that the WWE's last vote drive was very successful – and we should be thankful that all three candidates are ready to join the event. Remember...

The most important authority we wield as citizens is that of the vote.

middle-aged american   April 21st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Reading the responses by the readers over the past few days, I see an OVERWHELMING support for Obama. I, too, support Obama and have dug into my wallet 3 times to prove it. It seems what America is saying is "we're not gonna take it anymore!" We deserve a new option, and that option has made itself available through Obama.

We don't expect perfection or miracles, we expect to have a say in how our government works. We expect accountability. We expect our Senators, Representatives, and even our President to be looking out for AMERICA FIRST, everyone else second.

Americans are notorious for their generosity the world over, but with the country in its current state of disgrace, we can barely feed & house ourselves. We will lose our reputation as a generous donor because of the corruption of government over the past 20 years.

So now we shout CHANGE. Now we demand change.

As far as wrestling r concern. Hillary will beat the living hell out of this two man. Hillary all the way to the white house.

running scared are we   April 21st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

face it fellas, sometimes there are some woman that are just far smarter than we are. this is one of those cases.

obama is shaking in his boots that hillary clinton will make mince meat out of him.

i used to be like that. the experience made a man out of me.
admit when you are wrong and admit when you need help – the help you get makes you smarter. You are smarter than a lot of men but you dont have to always be smarter than every woman. admitting it is the hard part.

eBenji   April 21st, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Brilliant! The #1 rated show on Cable TV is the best place for the candidates to state their case to those who may not have even heard them speak once this year. I am honored that the candidates are showing respect to my fellow wrestling fans and encouraging them to "SmackDown the Vote!"

If ya smell what Barack is Cookin in '08...

Biased CNN   April 21st, 2008 5:09 pm ET

All the blogs about Hillary...
Why you don't report on the super-delegate from Minnesota who switched today to Obama???
Democrats wants this primary to end. It is hurting the party
Come on PA...

I know CNN will not post this one because they are working hard to keep Hillary in this race

Stephen, Lansing, MI   April 21st, 2008 5:09 pm ET

This is why there should be a test for having the privilege to vote.

The fact that these three are doing RAW shows what a popularity contest this has become.

Forget about your integrity and make a deal with the devil.

I would love to see Mickey James lay a Smackdown on Hillary. That should take care of the lies tha come out of her.

Everytime I write a good lenghty statement about why we should not elect Obama, you will not post it. Why? You are going to lose. I'm telling the world.

Seriously, people, if you want to be taken seriously please proof read your writing. There is nothing more foolish than someone trying to make a point in writing that has hundreds of misspelled words. What is even worse is the fact that this site has a spell check for you! Use it, idiots!

What about our Soldiers?   April 21st, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Thanks John, McCain and Hillary Clinton

For your part in the lie U.S. soldiers continue to commit suicides bidding farewell to their patriotism.

US Soldiers 4000 + US Soldiers dead, 35,000 injuried, IRAQ's Civilians 120,000 civilian dead.

Stephen   April 21st, 2008 4:56 pm ET

eddie n. powellnye – do you have any concept of reality?

How did Bill Clinton fail in his presidency? By having the largest peace time economic expansion in the history of the united states? Or was it by getting rid of the deficit and paying down the debt?

And what do you mean that we are fooled by Hillary putting on pants? Is that just a misogynistic and sexist remark that women have no place in elected office? That for some reason they have the inability to make important decisions?

The one thing that is wrong about democracy is that somehow my vote is just as important as yours.

Roots of Bitterness   April 21st, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Z   April 21st, 2008 4:52 pm ET

I don't understand why people keep saying the Obama campaign is so full of negativity. Clinton CONSTANTLY attacks him, belittles him, digs up garbage on him, and he just takes it. It barely ruffles his feathers (could you remain calm? I would have vaulted over the table at the last debate and strangled the moderator.)
He never dishes back insults and garbage to her. He's had so many opportunities to bring up dirt on Clinton, and he doesn't. Why? He doesn't want to stoop to republican levels. Do you support hypocracy? Vote Clinton.
Me? I want a president who talks about the people as "Us", not "They." I want a president who doesn't flip flop constantly on issues like NAFTA. I want a president who can run a campaign. Hillary's campaign is $10 million in debt. Obama's... Well. He can't *stop* people from donating to him, and he manages his funds very well.

And oh god. Clinton is more fake than WWE.

Sean   April 21st, 2008 4:28 pm ET

In response to Tom, above: Senator Obama has spent my donations very well. He's leading in delegates, popular votes, and contests won. He won the overall delegate total in Texas, by the way. He did it with the widest base of support, the most donors giving smaller donations, and a huge upswell of volunteer support on the ground. On the other hand, Hillary's campaign is in the red, and she's losing support everywhere you turn as she alienates people with her negative, win-at-all-costs tactics. So to correct your metaphor, she's George W Bush.

eddie n. powellnye   April 21st, 2008 4:25 pm ET

HRC and her cohorts still haven't got it yet. Her husband had his chance and failed. It is mighty strange that she and her husband have a solution for everyone of our nation's problems. Her nuclear cover over the Middle East sound the same as McBush. Now she is trying to
fool us into beleiving that she can ut on pants and apply Truman to this 21st century. I want to remind HRC that this is the 21st century. I think it can still be noted that when it comes to "CHANGE, HOPE AND YES WE CAN', the only thing that applies is - "NOTHING BEATS A FIALURE IS A TRY AND TRY WE MUST'. OFF WITH THE OLD AND ON WITH THE NEW'. Common sense knows that a fihgter in small town rural America goes by another name -- 'BULLY'. Her and Bill thinks they can bully 'WE THE PEOPLE' into his/her third term.
Lastly, God hel p our nation if the Billarys by some back door favors
become the democratic choice. It will be the fault of the news media and theDNC on what is going to happen to the future of the democratic party. Without the young vote, Black vote and the liberal
vote there will no more democratic party. The next election won by them will happen about 5 generation from now, if then. Our young never forgets and Blacks already know were they stand when it comes to being qualified. The Clintons haven't been vetted yet, but what's the use when "WE THE PEOPLE' already know what bulling
gets us -- " LAIRS, McBUSH AND 4000 PLUS NEEDLESS DEATHS '.

Wayne   April 21st, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Hillary has done more to advance the candidacy of McCain than any republican ever could. She has declared him a better Commander in Chief than Obama (who will beat her in the primaries), and she has successfully ebbed the wave of "Obamamania," a feat which McCain does not possess the charisma nor personal magnetism, nor connection with his fellow republicans to have been able to accomplish. In her selfish, "me first and forget everyone else" campaign she will both lose the race to become the democratic front runner, and has jeopardized her party's chances to win. Way to go Hillary, way to go!!!

jacq   April 21st, 2008 4:20 pm ET

how far will Hillary go to loose all self respect. I'm sure the women in those 80 some countries are rolling their eyes at the vulgar behavior of a potential us pres. Sure Hillary go the for gun toting, whiskey/beer belting image to be one of the boys. How about conducting yourself like a Lady, you'd get more respect.

Voter   April 21st, 2008 4:18 pm ET

This race should be Stopped!!!! Hillary Clinton dont care about the people, the party or this country.

They want to destroy Obama and give McClain the White House, I will never Vote for Hillary Clinton.

what about the gangstas in New York?
I remember that around 9/11 she was missing in action. Only Guilianni did his best for New York. She only wants to get inthe white house so that she can go down in history as the first woman president. Bill will be there once more desecrating the white house. NO HILLARY 08 SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT Y'ALL.

Alfreida Kirksey   April 21st, 2008 4:09 pm ET

To those who say that the 25-year-olds do not have sense enough to know what they are doing, does that mean that at 25 years old you were not smart enough? I am a 66-year-old woman and I believe the younger generation are a wise group of people and know the direction they want their lives to go - unity , hope, peace. So, my suggestion is that people should not belittle the younger generation's intelligence and it would be wise to the doubters to take a bigger look at why they are leaning the way they are. I, as an older person, can certainly understand - it is what Obama stands for, honesty and great leadership. God Bless America!!!

A True black American for Hillary   April 21st, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Moana   April 21st, 2008 4:09 pm ET

If Hillary becomes the President of the United States I will treat her like I do the Shrub (a/k/a Bush2) and turn the channel IMMEDIATELY. Shrillery comes with big problems that no one has begun to address. I am sure that McCain's camp will find some of them to exploit.

We the People have a chance right now. If we blow it we loose more than the Presidency. The times are changing VERY rapidly now and we MUST come together for what is ahead.

MD in OK   April 21st, 2008 4:07 pm ET

I wouldn't be suprised if she comes right out and tell the American people that her dad taugt her how to wrestle and that she joined the wrestling team in high school .

take it easy on em barack, you might end up breaking both their hips. just jokin, take the undertaker approach and powerbomb billary and mcshame right into their coffins

one of a generation of steel workers   April 21st, 2008 4:05 pm ET

So Hillary really can sink lower ! Scare tactics, fear-mongering,
the kitchen sink & the toilet. Really Pathetic !! Self-serving .Willing to do irreversable party damage not to mention damage to whatever legacy Bill had.I really understand why he cheats every chance he gets ! He's dogged her so she can't recognize when someone tries to be a gentleman to her then cries foul when she gets back even a hint of her own tactics. You certainly can't take the heat so get out of the kitchen. This tag-team that you & Bill are running isn't going over w/ those who are able to discern what a phony liar you are. If the only way you can show identification w / Pennsylvanians is by drinking boiler makers & lying about gun shooting capabilities ,I, for one am insulted that you think we're shallow enough not to see thru you & your phoniness. I'm sure tonite in a last ditch effort you'll come out w / even worse crap on Larry King & Hannity . You're drowning in your own filth & the sad part is you don't even know it or don't care.which shows all how out of touch you really are.Would we get anything different from you in the whiteHouse ? I think not !!

Jim   April 21st, 2008 4:05 pm ET

Now is the time to get rid of Obama. Pennsylvania, you can do it and open up the path for Hillary to beat McCain and put the Democrats back in the White House with real programs to help Americans.

Go Pennsylvania!!! Go Hillary!!!

Sooner08   April 21st, 2008 4:04 pm ET

I am under 25 and kind of see what Clinton is saying (never that I would say that). The difference is that the people our age that support him because its the cool thing to do or they like the way he talks are not going to vote in November. They will either get bored or he will make too many mistakes to keep their interests. Even one of my friend's who is an ardent Obama supporter said the other day saying he looks like a bumbling idiot the last couple of weeks. He will be the Dem nominee that is obvious, but McCain will tear him a new one in the general election. People point to the primary voter ratio as to what is going to happen in the general election but forget that it was higher in 88 and I believe Bush won that one. The people who same McCain will be the same as Bush apparently don't remember that they hate each other. There is a difference between being amicable for a photo op and getting an endorsement after you have won and actually liking someone. McCain is the anti-Bush in the republican party. Just because he still believes we can win in Iraq doesn't mean he is Bush. Who called for Rummy's head first? McCain. Who said the disaster in this war has been the failure of the leadership in the white house? McCain. I am not a good loser and I refuse to give up because it got hard. Go McCain!!!

Linda of Atlanta   April 21st, 2008 4:02 pm ET

If we are not careful, Hillary Clinton (the one who is out of money in her campaign) will steal the nomination and further empty the U.S. coffers. As evidenced by her campaign, she is a horrible manager. Is the fact that she is also white enough for America to ignore her penchant for lying, her propensity for nastiness, and her ineptitude in managing people and money? I pray not!

Brendose, Oceanside CA   April 21st, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Her speech should have been "I'm Hillary Clinton, but tonight, you can call me "the sniper"!

Hill-Rod? That's the best nickname her millionaire speechwriters could come up with?

Maybe she should stop bouncing checks from her campaign!!

Her slogan for the month of May "brother, can you spare a dime?"

poor Arlene   April 21st, 2008 4:01 pm ET

Poor Arlene , she is still worried about Bill Clinton's sex life. How pitiful she doesn't have anything else to talk about. Are you jealous, honey? You are not a typical woman or you wouldn't be worried about his sex life, you would be worried about your children and grandchildren not beign taken over by an anti american preacher and his allies.

Change you CAN believe in!

p.s. and I think it's great that the candidates are reaching out to this demographic. A lot of folk don't listen to the news but will look at WWE prime time.

Kate   April 21st, 2008 3:56 pm ET

I just do not understand people who are influenced by the "bitter" "wright" "ayres" junk – which are the ONLY issues that have hurt Obama throughout this campaign. Most recently, Obama is being blasted for having served on the board of a non-profit org. with Ayres. Come on, people are invited to serve on a board. They invited each of these men, individually. How does that reflect on Obama?

David   April 21st, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Everyone should lighten up!!

I think it's great that they're going to be on RAW. It may be an unusual TV show to pitch their stance, but they're not harming anybody.

And how is Smackdown Your Vote a negative thing?? They're trying to get people to vote!!

Bubba   April 21st, 2008 3:56 pm ET

I guess all three are going for the Bubba vote. snickering

Gion   April 21st, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Barack says know your role and shut your mouth.

if Obama is smart he'll play off that line.

Chicago   April 21st, 2008 3:54 pm ET

STOP CALLING IT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY; it doesn't exist!!!!

Has anyone stopped to think that no matter what the people of America want, Hillary or Barack, the decision will be decided by people whose vote is more powerful than yours. I mean, are the citizens of America worth less than a superdelegate. How can one person be a superdelegate when it takes at least 1,000 normal people to vote for a delegate; and they have the nerve to even debate elitism....I mean does a superdelegate play with Superman.
Like if politicians are voted in by the people shouldn't they represent the people's wishes. Sounds like Americans are worth at the most 1/1000th of a superdelegate (superdelegates are people too). Remember the civil war and how to count black slaves in voting, it sounds like ALL Americans are worth less than 1/3 of a human no matter what color now. You learned your popular vote doesn't matter from the Bush fiasco, now you will learn that your not even a full person compared to the elite. Is this democracy; I voted for Barack but if he wins with one vote from a superdelegate that is against the population of area represented then I'm out. I mean let's at least pretend to have freedom. Generation X is watching, you Baby Boomers. SHOW US THAT WE AS A PEOPLE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL!

june   April 21st, 2008 3:53 pm ET

i am voting for hillary clinton for our next president – i think its time a woman came in office,,,, quite frankly the men who have run the country have done a really lousy job. besides what i feel, i think she will have a great impact with iraq .... the country needs a strong voice and i think she has one...also i think she has the experience to make great changes...

Penn State   April 21st, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Whats funny is that even though she is $10 million in debt, Obama is still getting his tail kicked in PA. How do you lose a state to someone who is in debt for the month of April? Only Obama knows how to lose by double digits to someone who virtually had no money for the month of April.

Also, if she is not trustworthy then why are all of these television stations, newspapers, vendors, etc. trusting her even though she has to pay them back later. Looks like she is doing pretty well. After PA, her supporters will start throwing money in the pot. Just wait and see after this double digit lead in PA. CNN comment moderator, I know that you love Obama, but people need to understand this so please do not be bias.

clinton muehlenbrock   April 21st, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Justin   April 21st, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Wow America is dumber than I thought.

DAN   April 21st, 2008 3:51 pm ET

A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain in November. In the latest electoral poll shows Obama doesn't make it, he reaches 260 and Hillary reaches 289. Obama=Romney with all their money they just can't wiin. If PA goes big for Hillary 8 points or more, Obama should get out ASAP. He just can't win the elections now that it's clear that he's decided not to count the peoples votes in MI and FL., finally he's alot like Bush.

Wilberto Jimenez, Monmot, MD   April 21st, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Is this seeking the "lowest common denominator" of campaign strategy ?

I'd lay odds that Hillary would be the superior wrestler, if there's any competition. Obama just doesn't seem tough, and we all know McCain can't bodyslam worth a d**m.

Sheri   April 21st, 2008 3:50 pm ET

I have read the most stupid comments i've ever heard. Pitiful. This whole thing is racist and ugly

Reality Check   April 21st, 2008 3:49 pm ET

Come on, Mental Midgets! If we vote for McCain over WHOVEVER the Dem. nominee is, then we deserve what's coming to us. McCain is so far from what you claim to support that voting for him is either racist or ridiculous. Supporting one or the other is fine, but get over yourselves & realize they're basically the same on most issues.

Face the facts:
Florida & Michigan did it to themselves, then couldn't come up with revote plan.
Obama actually WON Texas
Clinton will win Penn., Obama will win NC & Indiana
Obama will be the nominee
He is NOT evil. Are you people STILL as dumb as Karl Rove thinks you are?
Clinton will eventually campaign for Obama b/c McCain is WRONG.
Young people are not to be ignored, whether Hitler did it or not

Reason why Hilary did not leave Bill was to make a name for herself. She needs to fulfill this personal ambition or else--–.

Clinton's last ad is well below the belt...If she wins..McCain has my vote,
often overlooked... The media highlights Obama's spending and not put it in the prospective of his fighting the political machines of the Mayor of Philadelphia & the Governor.You just refer to his spending.

It's not surprising that you'd have a crush on "true democrat."

Your arrogance is a sign of your immaturity.

To your tiny mind, if someone disagrees with you, they're not a REAL American? (The same way that "true democrat" wants to define the party in their own narrow terms.)

You're the one who is not ready to converse with (reasonable) adults!

Liberals make me laugh. If you don't agree with them you aren't "smart". Just read the posts by Obamanics. Go check out Ben Stein's new movie and watch the liberal elitist thought police get challenged and exposed. News flash, being a liberal does not certify you as intelligent, it does however seem to add arrogance points.

Clinton will probably try and do a body slam to show that she's also a wrestler... and a whisky drinker... and a bowler... and a hunter... with roots in Scranton. At some point, can a senator be "too" blue-collar?

Trenton Sims, Los Angeles   April 21st, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Alice... That Was a 26 point margin.

Maybe Obamas ring name should be "The Destroyer" Because he has destroyed her.
But its ok ..Hillary still has great opportunities in Hollywod. She has been giving Academy Award level performances daily for years.
Ive never seen a more contrived, plastic, fake, phony, chameleon before.
She will say and be whatever the people want in whatever state she is performing in at the time she is performing.
Thats right..performing.. not campaigning.
She transforms her self into whatever she thinks the voters of any given state she is visiting want her to be. The consumate Actress.

Guess her Wrestling Ring name should be "The Transformer "
Maybe she can even convince herself that she really isn't in debt.
She is very good at transforming, twisting,and creating her own reality.
So good, that her supporters are somehow naive enough to accept whatever she says as gospel. I guess thats why her suporters are lower income and lower educated. Poor gulible souls. her most intelligent support comes from feminists and lesbians.
OOpz..am I an elitist? Or a realist?

My sons are not going to this stupid war so let all the sons of PA go and die for some people that don't give a HOOT about them. 100yrs sounds good to me and if Hillary wins this thing and Obama is voted out I will vote for Mc Same and help give them the 100yrs of hell that they love so much. Obama may be too good of a man to be in charge of this government for them. Go ahead PA make my day. Talk about Cali. all you want but I have never been without a job. You better load up the truck Jethro. No, on the other hand stay there and wait for your jobs to come back, Hillary and McSame has a plan for you. Any of you want to buy the Golden Gate Bridge? Hillary will sell it to you very cheap? Heck, She sold herself to you with no problem.
Any way it goes, Obama will be OK. What about YOU?

California Voter   April 21st, 2008 3:34 pm ET

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!

When you comes to character ask yourself some questions about how Obama has remained a member for 20 years of Trinity United Church of Christ, a church that is separatist at best, and racist at worst. Does America really need a President who is not only inexperience but supports a church that has a "non-negotiable commitment to Africa" and a former pastor that preaches hate? Has a wife who is obviously very angry about America and so so far left that Democrats would rather vote for McCain if he becomes the Democratic candidate.

patty   April 21st, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Hillary is desperate. She knows that when all else fails, one can resort to fear-stories because so many insecure people respond to them, as demonstrated here. It has worked in the past. But most of us now have evolved beyond that primitive fight-or-flight mentality. We are inspired by Barack Obama because he focuses on hope and positive change.

And don't forget that Japan is actually an ally now, hope you know who our friends are.

I thought scare tactics is what go us into war in the first place, OH wait you voted for the war haha. We wonder why you are resorting to republican tactics, this is a new low even for you.

jerry, San Francisco, CA   April 21st, 2008 3:29 pm ET

The blogger comments are nearly as bad as the event itself. You've been fooled into playing this absurd and reductive game of war between the two candidates. It sickens me to see so many people on each side slamming the other so mercilessly. Neither is perfect. And neither is the devil. The differences are nothing at all compared to what we've had for nearly eight years, which McCain would be glad to continue. STOP killing our chances. I have my favorite, but will happily support the other if s/he wins. If I stuck to my own original preference, (which is still my first choice) I'd be blogging for Joe Biden, which wouldn't do us any good, would it?

Chris   April 21st, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Im surprised that so many people are upset about the candidates being on this show. I applaud them for having a sense of humor. It's also smart, the show is in penn. and they're offering free ad time to the candidates and like it or not according to the article around 5 million people watch that show. A lot of the audience is prob.18-40 year old male demographic, a key group for both candidates. Some people on here seem to believe that in the 5 or 10 minutes it took the candidates to tape their segments they could've solved world hunger or pulled troops out of Iraq. Whats the difference between this and doing their skits on the Colbert Report, Daily Show, Jay Leno, or SNL? I also think its funny that Clinton people say Obama is a "liar", a "dirty" politician, a "divisive" force, aren't these synonyms for the word clinton?

Independent-woman-voter-for-Obama   April 21st, 2008 3:27 pm ET

TO SPQR753:

You are either a Republican, one of the "Rush the vote" dittoheads or a Clinton supporter.

A. Listen, whoever you are, you show your ignorance by insisting that Rev. Wright and Sen. Obama think alike. No matter how many times, Sen. Obama tells you that he condemns Wright hateful words you will not believe it. To condemn someone, for SOMEONE ELSE'S WORDS IS THE SAME AS BLAMING ME, A CATHOLIC FOR THE PEDOPHILE PRIESTS! Ridiculous! You've been listening to Hannity and Rush, Savage, Reagan and all the rest of the hate-mongers.

B. Sen. Obama SAT ON A BOARD WITH AYERS, he DID NOT have a long relationship with him! Get your facts straight. That's what angers me about some anti-Obama comments, they are false.

All along the Republicans have wanted to run against Hillary, who has a very HIGH unfavorable rating.

They attack Obama, because they know they can't beat him. Americans are smarter than the "hate-mongers" , than the Clinton-attack-machine. Thank God!

RayveninTexas   April 21st, 2008 3:27 pm ET

This is for Tom...Barack is actually fiscally responsible. He is outspending Hillary because was/is the underdog in TX,OH, and now PA. But he gets enough delagates and that's all that counts. Your candidate(Hillary) is 10 million in debt. She only raised 20 million last month/and only 10 million of it is eligible for primary spending. So basically she is broke. There have been tons of reporting on how fiscally irresponsible they've been with the campaign. So I want a president who not only inspires us to give more, and will actually be responsible with what we give!

As for the WWE, they all do these things. Obama at radio shows, republicans at Nascar. Its called going after the voters. Its not pandering.

Hillary should and I believe will win PA by double digits, and will go on to close the gap in the remaining states. She has what it takes to be our leader.

They have their own don't ask, don't tell agenda. Two ugly people meet and discuss their dream of world domination, and 20 years later Bill is having sex with the honeys. Hillary is well...the woman that left her campaign probably thought that things were a bit too FISHY...a person of intrest from the other side of the plate. GROW AMERICA AND SEE THAT THEY ARE A COUPLE OF CONVIENIENCE!

SPQR752 –
A) I am never under the mental influence of any pastor when I go to church, I am there to talk to God, which is what Senator Obama goes to church for.
B) When Mr. Ayers was in his radical hey-day, Senator Obama was 8 years old.
You do need, however, a president that does not tell lies to further her own needs.
Evidently, you are not a member of the thinking public.

Paul VA   April 21st, 2008 3:23 pm ET

The questions asked by ABC news during the last debate were no tough but stupid! We Americans do not need personal fight! We need to hear how our candidates are going to end the war in Iraq, to bring the economy back on rail, to resolve the housing and credit problems, to bring down the gas price and get new sources of energy, to resolve our transportation problem, etc. The "bitter" words or the “Wright” things are not helping us and are not answering to our questions.
Hillary does not understand what this country needs if she thinks that the last debate was a good test for a Presidential candidate. She should quit the race before Pennsylvania.

Marie   April 21st, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Mike   April 21st, 2008 3:22 pm ET

I think the scariest part of this election, nay, this country, is how uneducated, unintelligent, or perhaps lazy the average person who wants to spout off their opinion is. As I'm reading through the comments on this page I am noticing spelling and grammar errors occur far more often than would be expected in an elementary school. THESE are the people who will have a say regarding who the next President of the United States of America is?

I see a poster proclaiming the next coming of the Axis of Evil via inspiring the youth. I see a poster proclaiming that younger voters are not smart or mature enough to make informed decisions.

I think we, as a country, should pick whichever candidate has the best plan for improving the availability and quality of education. If the posters here are representative of the overall population, we most certaintly need it.

AJ   April 21st, 2008 3:17 pm ET

I'm trying to figure out why all the candidates reaching out through other sources of media is a bad thing. I'm also trying to figure out why anyone is scrutinizing the WWE for attempting to get people to go out and vote. The "Smackdown Your Vote" Campaign they did 8 and 4 years ago drew in more young people to vote than would have if they hadn't done it, so why the hate?

Isn't that what we want? Seeing more people turning out? Voicing their opinions?

Oh wait, that's right, young people are coming out in droves for Obama so the Hillary supporters don't want to see that happen anymore.

I'm sorry, but in my honest opinion, this is not a bad thing, it is a good thing, and if you all have the nerve to scrutinize the WWE for trying to get people to go vote, then shame on you, because there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Ted van Tol   April 21st, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Hello Americans,

I am from the Netherlands and I follow de primeries every day.
What I woud like to say is.... stop your hatefull words about your candidates. What I read is terrible and shamefull.
We, in Europ are trilled that finely you have a candidate that acts and speaks like a real human. Obama is not perfect but I am sure he will be respected in the whole world.
America needs to change his foreign policy. end wars, stands up for climate change. The time off cowboys are past a long time ago, so
melt your guns and make some peace in this world.
If not, I precict you will lose all the way. Your economy will getting down in favor off Europe, China and India.
Your leading rol will be over in worldpolitics and you can wait
for another 9/11.
We see your poverty's in your towns, we see that young people are killing on schools and even in privat homes for childeren are playing with guns of ther daddy.
I read about "the great nation" most of you think you are. Please look at yourself and solve you problems first.
Stop the policy of fear and give us finely some change!

Holland for Obama, with excuses for my bad English and for my
bitternes but I am so tired of America as it is now..

Ted van Tol.

You think with this new baggage and all her old whipping the right into a frenzy to beat her that she is going to win...The GOPers are acting like wolves in sheeps clothing and the Clintons who are supposed to be so experienced are falling for it hook, line and sinker!

I think Hillary has gone WELL past the point where if she were the nominee that people would pile on to support her. She is 10 million in debt for a reason. People just talk about her but dont $upport her. I for one have written a letter to the DNC and there are 100s of thousands like me who will NOT send our Gas money and Dinner night out money to Hillary after all she has done in the last months. I am not going to vote for Mc Cain but I will NOT Vote for her.

How will I look to my Kids if I support her? even my KIDS see her as a liar and a cheat. This HAS to be the GOPS perfect storm. Hillary has divided the Dems so horribly McCain is going to win in a walk.

My Household is changeing to Independant. This has been Humiliateing and I blame her and the weak willed no backbone having DNC.

It only took Sean Hannity two weeks to have your under his mental influence. Just how was this so call long relationship with Ayers? And if this guy was as bad as you and Hannity want to claim, I believe the fist set of people that should be questioned is the Justice Department. Why didn't we arrest him? Why didn't we convict him? Why is he not executed like Timothy McVey? How about you and Sean Hannity do some investigative reporting and answer those questions. Oh, by the way also find out why Bill Clinton pardon two people of the Weather Underground that were convicted? Who did he owe that favor to?

Real American,

Are you suggesting that older people like Clinton who can't remember if she was shot at and John McSame who can't remember what Joe Lieberman just whisperd in his ear a few minutes ago should make voting decisions for people between the ages of 18 and 25 then justifiy how and why that same age group should carry the burden of fighting and losing their life and limbs in a war. Not to mention being farmed out by Clinton as the Middle East bouncers if Iran wants to mix thing up with any other country. I guess we now know how the Clinton Library got financed. Oh, don't worry about Iran we will come to your aid right after I pull everybody out within 60 days of being elected. Yea right.

Ture American   April 21st, 2008 3:00 pm ET

"True Democrat" should be ASHAMED to compare Obama to Hitler and the Nazi movement. If you don't like Obama, that's one thing. But to make such a charged, baseless and unwarranted comparison is dispicable. Regardless of who you support, I urge ALL Americans to reject the "Politics of Fear and Division" demonstrated by those such as "True Democrat". Make your decision based on the facts and your INDIVIDUAL impressions of the candidates ... NOT FEAR!

Cora Portland, Oregon   April 21st, 2008 2:56 pm ET

I knew the candidates were desperate for votes, I just didn't imagine that they would be quite this desperate. Nonetheless, this is an incredible public relations coup for World Wrestling Entertainment.

He is a unknown commodity, Hillary is very well known , he has to spend money like that to keep up with her notarity. If he didn't do this he wouldn't have came close in Ohio and won Texas. Furthermore he is receiving the money from regular folks like myself so he can run against the Clinton Machine and the Republican clowns.
Keep spending Barack, she's in debt and even if she wins tomorrow she will not be able to keep up.
Also since she has put Moveon.org under the bus she would not stand a chance if she was the nominee.

It's amazing to read how many are out there to support Clinton...even more amazing the reasons the bring up. Truly stupid braindead...so I guess they deserve another four years of having pulled the wool over their eyes. They obviously dont' know what is happening to them. Too bad it is always the 80/20 ratio..meaning, stupidity prevails....

White male for Obama   April 21st, 2008 2:48 pm ET

Okay let them showup and laugh a bit.
Oh...I ready about Hillary's debt. Why is she always be the one to fall into debt when she is very rich.
She certainly wants to continues campaign for the presidency , and so therfore she whould withraw her money from the bank to campaign . She kept her money and she wants ordinary Americans to donate for her while her money is making profits.

Fool us once,......fool us twice that is a serious concerns. so if you don't want to be fooled again vote Obama. He has managed his campaign ver well and he will manage the country effectively.
Bless American

Susan   April 21st, 2008 2:45 pm ET

I don't even know what Monday Night Raw is, but after reading these comments, I have a feeling it's not a televised tea party. I am sad that Obama has turned so negative. Where is his message of hope that we remember back in Iowa, that inspired so many of us?
He doesn't sound like someone who will change the country. Hillary is far more likely to bring change and hope to our nation.

Independent   April 21st, 2008 2:44 pm ET

To A Real American –

Those "young people" that are 25 and under are fighting and dying in Iraq and have done the same in every war this country has ever been involved in. If anyone has the right to vote for someone who didn't vote to send them to war it is them.

I'm not that young, I'm an attorney, I'm female, and I'm white, and I support Obama. And by the way, I'm sick of hearing people on these blogs whine about how everyone who supports Obama is either black (sure, that 13% of the population is why he is winning more states, more votes, and more delegates than the most well-known woman in politics) or too young to know better.

Frankly, it is also ludicrous and insulting to compare Obama's appeal to Hitler's – and moronic to say that everyone has forgotten their history so they don't see the parallels between Obama's presidential campaign and the Nazi Youth movement. I know my history – and Obama is no Hitler, morons.

I think the older people have done a great job running this country into the ground at this point, and at least some young energetic people are willing to try to make a difference now.

robert   April 21st, 2008 2:44 pm ET

This idea is no completly over the top ! only brainless people would consider it – you should suggest it to Sean Hannity vs Rush Linberg

Grow up people , grow up
Our country is in danger of having this horrid woman nominated for the Presidency by default

Her motto is " I will only go down if I can take Senator Obama with me "

I ask you , is that the action of somebody that loves America ?
the most unpatriotic action of all !

If Senator Obama defends himself from the negative attacks he is then told he is "like all other politicians" if he does not ,..... then he is consider weak ....

Why will you be blind to our only alternative ???

Clinton Needs Record Margins to Win Popular Vote
"To overtake Barack Obama in the nationwide popular vote, Hillary Clinton needs a bigger win in tomorrow's Pennsylvania primary than she has had in any major contest so far. And that's just for starters," Bloomberg reports.

"After more than 40 Democratic primaries and caucuses, Obama, the Illinois senator, leads Clinton by more than 800,000 votes. Even if the New York senator wins by more than 20 percentage points tomorrow - a landslide few experts expect - she would still have a hard time catching him."

Why does the popular vote count matter?

Walter Shapiro notes that at closed-to-the-press Clinton house party Friday night in Pennsylvania, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and director Rob Reiner - both Clinton supporters - continued to make the argument that the winner of the popular vote should get the Democratic nomination.

I cannot believe the people in Pennsylvania who cares about the democratic party are not paying closer attention to this. They are destroying our chances to win in November,

Save us PA   April 21st, 2008 2:42 pm ET

This would be Hillary in her element with her crowd.

After last Tuesday's debate, this appearance and a stint on Jerry Springer is all the first lady needs to lose big with educated voters. I started out for Hillary and ended up wishing she'd visit the moon until 2009.

At the very moment of casting his or her decision, each voter should think about the following:

Do I need a President who:

A) For 20 years was under the mental influence pastor Wright?

B) Had a long relationship with William Ayers even if he knew that Mr. Ayers stated in an interview with The New York Times – QUOTE:
""I DON'T REGRET SETTING BOMBS. I FEEL WE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH.""?

If you do not care for any of these two worrisome situations, VOTE for OBAMA: the REPUBLICAN PARTY MACHINE (and CARL ROVE) WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!

And "True Democrat"...ummm you certainly are NOT a True Much of Anything if you compare millions of people to Nazis. ..and most certainly not a Democrat.

I really have had it with all the nastiness and "Insta-Facts" and pure, unvarnished drivel. If this keeps up, Senator McCain will win in a landslide because the Democrats will have destroyed themselves.

Earth to Cindy, you need a reality check – the young are stupid becasue when asked "why are you voting for Obama" the say things like "I don't know" or "because all young people are" or "he inspires me" – how stupid. Haven't you learned anything in college. You don't vote for a candidate you know nothing about – well, you do know all his "terrorist like" acquaintances whom he refuses to distance himself from. That much you know and you still think he's gods gift to America? Wow. I'd respect you more if you just stayed home on the couch.

Mat   April 21st, 2008 2:38 pm ET

TOM – Hillary is spending less because she has less and is actually in the Red – take a look back through all of the primaries and see who spent what and who won what – I think you'll find that Obama has actually raised more money from small donations from people who want to see a change instead of the huge donations from big companies that want a president in their pocket! I don't know how you can connect Obama spending more money – that he raised to raising taxes – but I guess this is what happens when you listen to the Hillary Spin machine too much!

Our generation has revolutionized how information is shared-newspapers will soon be obsolete-just like your quaint ideas about what matters. It's time for you to step aside, collect your social security and pray your kids don't put you in a home.

female grad student, NYC   April 21st, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Cindy:

just a little interesting tidbit about Hillary fyi. back in the day, her parents were wary of her marrying bill because they were afraid she would then compromise her own political aspirations. she went ahead and married him, rejecting the notion that a WOMAN SHOULD BE JUDGED BY HER HUSBAND because she married him after the women's suffrage movement, after the civil rights movement... and now it is 2008, and women like you, who ought to be supporting the successes of their own gender, are still JUDGING a woman by her husband's words and actions.

Women like you who are probably envious of her success only serve to weaken the achievements of our entire gender. If you harbor such petty sentiments, I would recommend keeping them to yourself to avoid bringing the whole house down. But then again, people with those sorts of petty natures seldom have much self control, so I'm sure my words fall on either deaf of uncomprehending ears.

bessie   April 21st, 2008 2:32 pm ET

Pro wrestling fans are accustomed to seeing guys being hit over the head with metal chairs, but if Clinton and Obama are on together, it could be the first time in wrestling history that someone has been hit over the head with a kitchen sink.

Obama, with his wiry frame, could revive some of the great acrobat moves of yesteryear (a la Jimmy Superfly Snooka, for instance). He'd be perfect for flying off the top rope, drop kicks, and flying body slams. Clinton would be more like George "the Animal" Steele.

Wow.... True Democrat, I never thought I would EVER agree so much with a democrat, but you are exactly right! I've been telling people the exact same thing for a while now..... most folks don't know their history well enough to realize that the Nazis and Communists (Russian and Chinese) purposely recruited the young people in their respective countries because it is very easy to appeal to their EMOTIONS, and therefore convince them to committ irrational and reprehensible acts.

By the way, Cindy, Clinton did not call young people stupid, he actually spoke the truth. Young folks (age 25 and under) are way too naive and emotional to know how to make good decisions for America. Most of them can't even make good decisions for themselves! Do yourself a favor.... go back to worrying about American Idol, MTV, MySpace, or whatever else holds your attention for more than 10 minutes. Maybe in a few years you can converse with the adults here!

No surprise when their leader, a first time senator, thinks he's entitled to the presidency now without putting the prep time in first. It's typical of the Millenial generation. they want everything without having to work for it.

I hope that one of the many CNN commentators, and I would like Jack Cafferty to read it out. I believe that Lou Dobbs, owe an apology to the black community for hisblatant racist remark of "what 's in their cotton picking mind" alluded to a supporter of illegal enmigrants a couple of weeks ago. Mind you that black people were the most unjustified mistreated people in this United States of America. This portrays again a blatant racist slur that needs a public apology from Lou Dobbs, for his misspeaking, as Hillary Clinton, woul put it. I listen a view the CNN channel daily following the Dem.primary. So I am looking forward to hearing what Lou Dobbs, has to say on this, since he vows not to be racist.

Cynthia   April 21st, 2008 2:18 pm ET

They have already been in a wrestling match since Senator Clinton started the negative campaigning. No matter what any Clinton supporter says – it originated with Senator Clinton. Senator Obama had no choice but to fight back in order to show that he knows how. Just wait until he meets McCain – everyone will be surprised at how he knows how to stick and move.

Don't get fooled again by Obama. He is outspending in advertising of 5 to 1 against Hullary and he would use this to pursuade young voters to vote for him and will say anuthing but. The true CHANGE we need is to bring back the prospery during the Clinton years. Obama only have pursuasing words but Hilkalry has the solutions. Don't get fooled again by Obama. Wake up America.

His hype of hope, his divisive brand of unity, his hateful ways of bringing American together, his lies presented as truth, his change that is just the same old thing and his mocking, boastful, demeaning manner that is NOT presidential.

Many of us democrats will NEVER vote for such an evil man.

Oh, this should be interesting. Watch out Senator Obama. You might ruin your suit during this matchup. As usual, Senator Clinton will win. You don't stand a chance. Just keep shooting your mouth off and you will find out what happens during the forthcoming primaries. You and your supporters are so negative it really sickens me. We don't need a person who is so fixated on himself that he doesn't care about most of our country. Florida and Michigan for example. What a cry baby you are.

HILLARY SHOULD STEP DOWN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Clinton: older voters too savvy to fall for Obama
Posted: 01:59 PM ET

Former President Bill Clinton in Roanoke Rapids , North Carolina campaigning for his wife, Friday.
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
Bill Clinton says older voters are supporting his wife because they’re too smart to be fooled by Barack Obama’s rhetoric.
The Boston Globe reports the former president also took issue with Obama’s statement that many of the problems the U.S. faces were around long before President Bush took office.
Clinton told voters in Pennsylvania: “I think there is a big reason there’s an age difference in a lot of these polls. Because once you’ve reached a certain age, you won’t sit there and listen to somebody tell you there’s really no difference between what happened in the Bush years and the Clinton years; that there’s not much difference in how small-town Pennsylvania fared when I was president, and in this decade.”
See, it’s really not about Hillary… it’s about Bill’s legacy.
On another note, a new poll out might spell trouble for Hillary among voters of all ages. A Washington Post/ABC News poll shows only 39% of Americans think Hillary Clinton is “honest and trustworthy.” 58% say she’s not. Barack Obama leads Clinton by 23 points when it comes to which one voters think is more honest.
Apparently Clinton’s fairy tale about sniper fire in Bosnia, and her husband’s defense of her claims, didn’t help much… especially when voters combine it with scandals that occurred while she was first lady, including the firings in the White House travel office and her financial dealings which resulted in widespread doubts about her trustworthiness.
Here’s my question to you: Bill Clinton says older voters are too savvy to fall for Barack Obama. Do you agree?

This is a really sad commentary on our electoral process. What's next all three as house mates in Big Brother 10.

we wanh hillary, not mccain...screw him.   April 21st, 2008 1:59 pm ET

This will give Hillary a chance to ditch her man-pants. In lieu of something more feminine.

Alice   April 21st, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Tom – Hillary only "succeeded" in losing her 20-point margin.

Maureen in VA   April 21st, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Wow. Okay, now if we could use this to start ending wars, too... I bet Obama could take Osama in a cage match.

Independent   April 21st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

I really didn't think today was April Fool's Day but I must be wrong. Really? Seriously? "Smackdown the vote?"

God help us...

ABC   April 21st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

It is time that CNN gives her a break.

ihatewhitey@obama.net   April 21st, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Maybe Obama can just give Hillary the bird again!
Why in the world would a U.S. Senator use an obscene gesture to send a marginally subtle message to his inter-party opponent in a nomination campaign?
-At its basest level, it displays his immaturity
-It was also act of arrogance
-It was an act of self-defeating stupidity for a politician at his level
-It was an act of someone who is being seduced by the adulation of those he has seduced

Arrogance is as Arrogance does.

James   April 21st, 2008 1:54 pm ET

This is ridiculous. You all should leave Hillary and Barack alone. This is too much. Geezzz.

True Democrat.   April 21st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

In the 1930s-1940s Germany and Italy saw the fire that raged through their countries fueled by their leaders who also promised change and unity and a return to greatness.

Those leaders appealed and inspired the youth of their countries with their message of hope and change. They developed a cult-like following among the youth. They grew in stature until no one dared to criticize them. Just like the Obama craze now sweeps the angry bitter people of the USA today.

Look at how that ended up for the Europeans and LEARN the lesson. You need a leader- not an inspirational pop idol- to move us forward as Americans.

Tom   April 21st, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Just wanted to point out that obamakins are getting all excited because their candidate is taking more money from them to not achieve the result while Hillary is doing more with less. He outspent her 4 to 1 in Texas and Ohio and lost. He's outspending her 3 to 1 in Pennsylvania and is going to lose. So if we follow this pattern, if he were President, he would raise taxes and accomplish nothing. Nice. I'd much rather have a President who has shown that she can succeed with less.

The Dude   April 21st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Does this mean if all else fails, Stone Cold Steve Austin could be president?

ANYONE BUT MCCAIN '08!

Jay Fray   April 21st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

barack should give hillary the "rock bottom" and then go on the ropes, and yell...."IF YA SMEEEELLLLLLALALALOW WHAT BARACK IS COOKING"

Arlene   April 21st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Read this article in our local newspaper and thouight this might be itneresting for our voters to know, A Genealogical Society published this:
1. John McCain is the sixth cousi of Laura Bush???

2. Hiliary Clinton is the ninth cousin twice removed of Angelina Jolie????

3. Barack Obama is related to evryone from the Bushes to Brad Pitt??
How American is that?

When the candidates comment on who is the best American remember this.

My personal feelings as Hiliary is acting like a typical woman by being so catty and trying to find something to dig up in the past on her opponents-with her past on stating she knows all about the White House and politics she did not even know what was going on with her husband and then when she did , as an attorney she heard him commintting pergury. Does they not tell us that she has her own past and lots more.

Its nice to be froma small town because it is obvious and Hiliary and John have never been in one.

Jason M. Bryant   April 21st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Georgia, it's *all* pandering. Every single commercial run by every candidate is them trying to put their message in a place that people will see it.

Jane   April 21st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Please. Our country is facing very serious problems, and to many of us, it is not a joke.

Watching every move   April 21st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Sounds dumb, not interested.

enomisa   April 21st, 2008 1:48 pm ET

I am 53 years old and have always voted democratic since first voting at age 18.

Hillary Clinton is the best presidential candidate that my party has ever had running.

If Obama, by cheating and disenfranchising the voters and with his hype of hope cult methodology is our nominee, I will not vote for him.

I will write in Hillary Clinton- and if that is not possible- will have to vote for McCain.

I love my country and ALL its people too much to risk the kind of demagogue leader that Obama is. The bitter and angry Americans are grasping at straws. Just like Germany and Italy did in the 1930s. Look at what they got when they followed the cult-like worship of their leaders that inspired the youth with their false message of hope and unity.

what's the H?   April 21st, 2008 1:48 pm ET

that's great; i love it

Ed from PA   April 21st, 2008 1:48 pm ET

It would suit them.

Kenneth M   April 21st, 2008 1:47 pm ET

What can Obama do now to win PA?
1 List the promises made by Bill when he was president and show how the Clintons under deliver.
2 Get out the vote in the big cities by providing transportation to and from homes and churches.
3 Have people who have endorsed him from all over the nation call their friends and relations in PA and ask for their support.
4 Have a gracious speech ready to congratulate Hillary and deliver it as early in the evening as he can.

Peachy Keen   April 21st, 2008 1:47 pm ET

I'm sure Hillary will tell us about the times her father took her out behind the barn and taught her how to wrestle. And another thought. Doesn't Hillary have siblings? How come none of them are campaigning for her?

R   April 21st, 2008 1:47 pm ET

i don't even know what to say to this. If this was ONLY Clinton she'd be desperate? Now what do the Obama fans got to say to this?

Dan in CO   April 21st, 2008 1:46 pm ET

so ridiculous...

Dick in Sioux Falls   April 21st, 2008 1:46 pm ET

One of Obama's detractors said Obama has been getting most of his money from millionaires. The fact is that the average gift to the Obama campaign is $109, and the secret to his startling fund-raising success is his recruitment of more than a million new voters. Where he was warned he would not be able to compete with the well-established Clinton Campaign, he has out-organized, out-campaigned, and showed himself to be much more financially competent than Hillary. Does that not say to you that he would be a more competent President, without all the Lobbyist Baggage, and Washington-insider luggage she would bring to the Presidency?

Mark   April 21st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Well, I can't say as I'm surprised. I kind of feel like CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, MSNBC and the rest of the media outlets are more about entertainment like the WWE is than actually being a serious media organizations. It would be more fun though if they had to participate in a cage match.

Carl from Pa   April 21st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Well, it's not the bowl off that Hillary wanted (which I thinks he would lose actually, if you saw her try to bowl on Ellen), but I think this will do. It's like I always say (no not really), if you can win in the ring you can win the White House, haha.

But, seriously, lets just get the one with the most votes to win – which would be Obama.

Georgia   April 21st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

sick. pandering. boo...

Sharon Minnesota   April 21st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Hillary will have a better chance of not getting pummeled by this crowd than she would by CNN.

Go Hillary!!

richard   April 21st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

This coulkd be the most civil and fair suggestion I have heard so far about how to settle the dispute.

enomisa   April 21st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Is anyone out there gullible enough to still believe in Obama's "change"?

gerald strother   April 21st, 2008 1:43 pm ET

none

Ric   April 21st, 2008 1:42 pm ET

If only all elections were settled in the ring.

Tim   April 21st, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Picard/Riker '08: Make it so!

Sharon Minnesota   April 21st, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Since you have cut off the comments (after only 79 entries) regarding the financial report on the Clinton campaign after she was castigated by your readers, I am signing on here with my comments. Yeah, I'm still here.

Wow, I was still under the impression that we live in a democracy and can choose who we want for president. So you all can cut the pressure off trying to change the minds of those who are supporting the best candidate we have, (Hillary Rodham Clinton).

No matter how much money Obama throws at this campaign, he will still loose.

Obama can't buy my love.

I'll wait for all your nasty remarks and have a good time laughing them off next November after we have our first woman president.

Larry from LA   April 21st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I would love to Obama kick Hillary's lying negative butt

Johnny Boy   April 21st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

This is a good thing. My son watches it every Monday and I with him so I am excited to see the commericals! I want to see how HRC bashes Obama, that seems to be all she is really good at.

Df   April 21st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Go Hillary Go

John Smith   April 21st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

If people think this mation is sinking low, let us wait until "non-rational" people put Hillary and Bill (an impechead) president back in the White House. Can't we do any better, America?

Voice of Reason   April 21st, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Oh hte Democratic circus.

If this isn't a reason for the world to hold us in contempt, I don't know what is.

Ravi   April 21st, 2008 1:38 pm ET

How appropriate. However I'm sure the Clinton camp will hold the edge as Bill Clinton likes it Raw.

Franky   April 21st, 2008 1:38 pm ET

"What you gonna do when the candidates run wild on you."

LOL!!!!!

Independent   April 21st, 2008 1:35 pm ET

nice. Is Hillary going to team up with Hulk Hogan, and Obama with Undertaker?

SayNoToHillaryBillaryCheslaryClintrous   April 21st, 2008 1:35 pm ET

I would like to see that race in the wrestling ring. The old lady will be knocked down until sees the stars.

Joshua College Station Texas   April 21st, 2008 1:35 pm ET

I'd like to see Hillary fall flat on her butt and cry a little (won't happen unless it's worth votes...). I don't usually laugh at the pain of others, but I can see her lying in bed in the White House after election day laughing at mine.

middle-aged american   April 21st, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Okay, now thing are moving past ridiculous to absurd. Is there nowhere in this country we can seek refuge form politics?

Get ready to rumble!!!!   April 21st, 2008 1:34 pm ET

LOL! Maybe Obama can send Oprah in to even up the match. I think Hillary could take him in the ring.

the skipper 2   April 21st, 2008 1:32 pm ET

HILLARY AND BILL COULD TAG TEAM WITH KANE AND TEST barack could team up with the big show triple h and kanes brother the under taker in a cage ladder match with the nomination dangling by a hook at the top hahahahaha

Marie   April 21st, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Sounds like last week's ABC Democratic Debate revisited.

Definitely not Alex H   April 21st, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Well... this should be interesting...

PA Democrat   April 21st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Hillary needs a smack down with all her Lies and Politricks word twists and kitchen sink tatics!
She has no support thats why she started April in Debt and Sen. Obama with 42 mil.
We need change because this path is not working!
Pa got smack down for Hillary tomorrow!
Obama 08

The Austrian   April 21st, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Going for the blue collar vote, it would appear...

Don't forget yer beers, folks.

Veterans for Obama   April 21st, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Pathetic.

Tired of all this flap   April 21st, 2008 1:26 pm ET

OBAMA KNOCKOUT!!!!

hello   April 21st, 2008 1:26 pm ET

If Obama gets nomination watch out all these media who is supporting him is going to dump him for John McCain.
as I see it they want weaker candidate Obama and not Clinton on democrat side so that they can keep all that Tax break they got from Bush.
Don't you know they are all millionaire and works for big corporation who owns all media.
All Obama supporter should watch Saturday night live.
Obama as a president calling Hillary at 3 am. with no clue what to-do with crisis in oval office.
Funny but true Obama has no experience compare to Hillary in world affair, and cannot stand against Putin, Jintao Hu,chavez and ahemedinijad.

Moses   April 21st, 2008 1:26 pm ET

This is rediculous, but it would be nice to see Obama tomb stone hillary clinton on moday night raw :P ..but honestly, whats happening to our candidates when they feel the need to appeal to the WWE audiance?

Democrat 08

David   April 21st, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Really?

Dylan   April 21st, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Maybe Triple H will give Hillary "The Pedigree" and help put her campaign out of it's misery...

Dan from Illinois   April 21st, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Smackdown!

John in PA   April 21st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Actually, if they did step in a ring, we all know Hillary would kick Obama's wimpy butt!

Praetorian, Fort Myers   April 21st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

What a great idea.
A cage match for the Democratic nomination!!!

No, on second thought this might not be a fair match. Hillary would probably get him in a scissor-lock and snap his skinny neck in the first round.

O.K....so we'll continue with the voting.
