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

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.

"Hillary is a bitter liar, Obama brings hope and change"
I'm sorry, but is this the kind of crap that you people actually believe? Please don't be so naive, it makes me sad

Annoyed by stupidity   April 21st, 2008 4:56 pm ET

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

Oh good grief!

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

Hillary clinton is to politics what sanjaya is to american idol "a joke"

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!

Don't be distracted by these Hillary bashers. All they want to promote is hatred. This is not what democracy is about. Let's vote for a candidate whom we can count on, a candidate who's been a fighter for many years and who will fight for us. HILLARY '08

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

To A real American ~ ~ RE the Under 25 crowd, they are old enough to go die in Iraq but not old enough to make decisions for America? Wow, that is some statement!!!!

Hey NW, could you release yours; as a matter of fact why don't we all release our tax info from 1997-1999 ; give me a break; how much did Mr. Hillary Clinton pay you for that remark ?……….

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.

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.

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,

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.

Hillary loves Pennsylvania so mush that she moved to New York. Ha ha ha, the jokes on you PA.

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 people wonder why foreign countries laugh at American politics?
What's next-an appearance by all three on Flavor of Love? Oops, that may be too dignified.
