The Republicans are certainly scared of running against Obama. No wonder. Obama will whitewash McCain.

Isn't Rove supposed to be in jail?

Oh, please, Mr. Rove. Who are you to give advice to Senator Obama on anything? Whatever Senator Obama does, the media says he should do the other. You say, "too many rallies;" "too many town halls," "get down with the folks," "bowling was a stupid idea." Let the guy run his own campaign for gosh sakes. He has millions of supporters and millions of dollars to back him up. Suggesting he take advice from Mr. Rove is ridiculous. Of course, Senator Obama's tired, wouldn't you be? He has a sense of urgency and knows this politics-as-usual is a waste of time and energy. He wants to get the country going on the right track. He was down in the polls something like 30 points when he started a year ago, give him a break. Hang tough and support Senator Obama folks, he's the real deal and you know it. Don't let the media fool you with snippets of his being tired, etc. You know better.

Why do you suppose the mighty Rove is giving Obama tips on how to beat Hillary Clinton? I know. The Republicans all realize that Hillary is the candidate they do NOT to run against, period. They realize that Hillary is the fighter with a capital F - and that if Obama can't cut and run from his former pastor, then how in this world will he be able to deal with Iran and other leaders of recalcitrant countries. I hope everyone will watch now as, like the NC governor, we will begin to see that she picks up more and more endorsements because they realize our country must be lead by a tough and commited fighter for our rights.

I hate to say it but Karl Rove has some good points that could really help to boost Obama's campaign. He's already dropped the debates which only help Clinton, so why not try some of the suggestions. OOOOHHHHH yeah, I forgot they were made by Karl Rove. Tread lightly when receiving words of advice from the dark lords henchman.

is this the same carl rove who said there were NO WMD in Iraq, and that Saddam Hussein was a cover for Al Queida. Mr. Obamma needs to focus on the lives of everyday Americans, and how he can relate to them, and intervene as a truthful President, than worry what cr and his kind are whipping up..

I really would not want to go down in history with the legacy of a Karl Rove. Hello–rovian attacks. His name is synonomous with dirty politics.

Why should Barack listen to him. No, Hillary and Rove deserve to be in the back pages of the history books as having damaged our country.

Obama won 3 of 4 pledged delegates in caucuses.

Caucuses are easy to manipulate and favors the fanatics: Winning caucuses is not proof Obama actually can win a democratic election, it only means a small number of people loves him a lot, which is good for Obama and bad for America! US needs a smart president for once, not a slick one.

Katina from Conn. Why do you not hold Clinton responsible for her irresponsible vote to give Bush authority to invade Iraq. Are you not upset that she did not even read her own Senate Intelligence Committee Report, a report which others read, more than 20 of them, and decided not to go into Iraq?
Why were you not distressed that even if Iraq had WMD, they had no way to deliver them, no Navy, no Air Force, no ICBM's.
Why did we go in to take out the only Gulf Region administration that was an enemy of Iran?
I want a President who has the wisdom and the courage to speak out against that and other wars.

You want the republican's add taken out. " HE SAID 100 YEARS" and saying that it is out of context is hypocritcal. Because you thoroughly took Rev. Wrights out of context. You did this. You the media replayed it over and over incorrectly and out of contect. AND YES WE CAN SEE WHAT YOU DO "ALWAYS". Put comments in your own words when it fits your ratings.

Now Obama only needs 295 delegates to win. About a 50-50 split among remaining delegates and superdelegates will do it. But since Obama has been about 4:1 over Hillary in picking up superdelgates and is polling at over 12% in N.C.
I think Rove is right, its Obamas nomination.

Boy you Obama supporters just cannot stand it when Hillary gets a nod can you. And to think that your supposed to be religious people and can say all those really nasty remarks. Rev. Wright flock is a bit vulgar and rude!! Does he not teach you to love your neighbors.

Karl – can you get Obama supporters to get some manners. Obama will never beat McCain – sorry. Hillary is one that will come through. if you want another Republican in office – nominate Obama.

Karl Rove needs to crawl back under his rock and take his disciples Billary with him. Lame attempt to stay relevant and continue operation "Chaos", which is a shame.

ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE A DISTRACTION, PLAYING MIND GAMES TO MAKE YOU DOUBT YOURSELF AND DAMAGE YOUR CONFIDENCE.

The bottom line is Hillary needs the black vote and Barack needs the "Bubba" vote. I say they form a joint ticket, Obama for President and Clinton for Vice-President. I don''t think the Democrats should chance flubbing this one up, they can win with both of them on the ticket.

Karl Rove would want to see the Democratic party in disarray by pitting Obama against Clinton-so to impress on us that the Democratic party is bad for America and to let us know that the Republican party is better.

"No You Can't", plain and simple! American voters are starting to wake up and seeing through the haze. Besides, when Florida and Michigan voters are enfranchised, Senator Clinton will be the clear winner. I realize the that the Bill Richardsons, the Kerries, the Kennedys, and other phonies across America are not going to be happy, but that is part of the reality of politics.

I find it ironic that Clinton's camp has stolen a key phrase of Obama's camp and twisted it. Which says more about the leader that wants to bring change to our country "Yes WE can" or "Yes SHE can" ? Obama tells it like it is and makes no bones about the fact that WE are going to have to work to get out of the mess we are in. Clinton simply promises that if we trust HER with our well being she'll make it all right. Now tell me which one sounds more realistic? Americans need to grow up and realize that things are not how they should be and no government will make them right without the people being motivated by a leader to make changes. That is where Obama gets my vote he is honest, real, and most of all has integrity and enthusiasm to lead us in the right direction. Obama and Clinton have nearly the same stand on all issues so the big difference is personality. Why would you bank your victory on the candidate that 60% of Americans think is dishonest, I mean come on, really?

The BS Obama has been pulling since day one is unbelievable, he makes George Bush look like honest Abe. My wife worked on the Hillary campaign and in the beginning it was stressed to people working on the campaign not to criticize other candidates, only speak about the positive. Did anyone else watch the debates in the beginning? That's what Hillary was doing and the whole time she was being savagely attacked by all the Republicans and Democrats especially Edwards and Obama.

When she finally started to defend herself the Obama camp complained she was being negative and that he was above that.
When that didn't work he claimed the were making racist remarks even though the Clintons have always fought for African Americans rights.

Remember him criticizing her on her Iranian Guard vote, he didn't even vote, in fact he is number 3 for most missed votes and he is only in his first term, way to be an under achiever Obama.

So of course Rove is giving Obama advise he's been using Roves play book all along.

Whites are always ready to tell a black man, any black man what to do. Whites voted for Obama overall in the states he won.
Clinton is not winning and she cannot win. It does not matter what governor backs her,
She’s just sabotaging the election. Detroit and Florida is going to be seated by splitting equally. All the hoopla about what governor supports Clinton is not necessary of any consequence.
Where does it say that Obama need CNN help in reaching white folks?
According to the CNN reporter that says blacks are against Rev Wright. Wright is not running for president the coverage is done by you the media. Where are all these blacks?
All the white areas that Clinton has so won so far, must remember that when Obama wins. He will also remember his constituents. Obama is for all people. So try not to talk down to him about him being intelligent he is or how eloquent he speaks.
CNN is trying to say he is failing. Just stop the prejudice we see through it.
Sen. Obama campaign is more about jobs, jobs and jobs and people, and the economy and the war than Clinton is. All Clinton is doing at the moment is just sabotaging the election. The court is disenfranchising the voters, because they want the republicans to win. This is called suppression tactics. Who w is pulling these strings and where did this left field come from? stop talking about get t this crap out do something that makes sense. How the hell did this happen It has been dormant why all in a sudden. Full og it.

to California voter:
Do you know ANYTHING of liberation theology; it is not about putting white folks down, but rather black folks lifting themselve up and there is nothing wrong with a commitment to Africa. We have been committed to an unwinnable war in Iraq for these several years and to what avail? I send money to help poor people in Africa as I do to my local charities to help out poverty here in the U.S. and I am a white person.
Moreover, Sen. Obama never said he did not hear things that he might not have agreed it, he said he did not hear THOSE things that were looped ad nauseum by the press. If you watch the entire sermon of Rev. Wright and not just the "worst of", his words don't come off as being very hateful at all. Context is everything. But closed minds don't usually want to be confused by or with the facts.
Now more than ever–OBAMA '08!!! YES WE CAN!

One of the strategies that the news media has failed to pick up from the Republican is the fact that most of Hillary Clinton's votes in PA have actually come from the Republicans.

Republicans believe Hillary Clinton will be a weaker candidate in the general election, so there was an organized effort to encourage the Republican base to come out and support HRC in the primary. These voters for HRC will stop voting for her in the general election.

Please listen to the right-wing radio talk show hosts. You will understand how HRC won Ohio, Texas, and PA.

I agree with Rove. I even saved the article. I worry if Hillary doesn't win because the choice between Obama or McCain is certainly something to worry about. If if have to live through another 4 years of someone making bad decisions I will start going to chruch and buy a gun.
