CNN

Dude its been like ..what... one day since Obama-Wright fallout.

Obama bas isn't going anywhere
independents who may have been weary of Obama because of Wright now can breathe a better than before and its going to go on.

If Obama was toxic, it would have beeeeen over and its not.

Lost my way??? I guess I'm just like you.. Still you will have to decide soon. Joh McClain is long gone. Still I think Hillary is the best bet.... USA means more to me, What doe's it mean to you??? I guess another Republican Govenment is in theBooks... The Democrat's are Doomed... The Democrat's are Doomed, and all because they tried to "Steal the Black Vote."..

What do you expect from him and who really cares?

Puh-lease. Those ads are riduculous – only children would think that they had any real relevance. Oh wait, CHILDREN is exactly what the American public has shown themselves to be during this race.

Never mind!

Anyone that runs and ducks from a silly add like this has obviously been taking lessons from Clinton's Bosnia sniper gaff. All you have to do is reply that this is a silly add that does not deserve or warrent any reply.

AS for the RNC using something like this as an issue against a mans character only speaks volumes as to the reason why the RNC is in serious political trouble. No wonder so many people are leaving the RNC, desparation is relevent by using an add such as this. Your not hurting Obama, or any democrat, you are only causing democrats to unite into a stronger, more organized party that will kick your hinney.

Obama is poison... he felt good at first, but now the sickness is setting in.

Who the heck cares! He'll say say whatever just to get elected. Obama doesn't need you anyway!

Go Obama!!!!

Maybe Bill has gotten to him so what goes around comes around and maybe he will miss out. Sorry for you sir. Stay where you are if you think it is best.

would imagine that a lot of dems down the ticket are getting a bit nervous about having the idea of having obama at the top, , not only in MISS, but throughout much of the south and blue collar Dem congressional districts in the North and Midwest....

Mr. Childers your Political Career is OVER. If your not man enough to stand up against these Republican attacks, you do not deserve to be a politician.

Obama will remember you when he's the president of the United States of America.

what he is talking this guy, man obama is hero ,you have to be proud if he endorese you idiot

Obama is no longer electable and the superdelegates must be responsible by backing Senator Clinton.

She has the popular vote, since Michigan and Florida are also part of the Union. They cannot be ignored by the DNC

Hillary 08- Yes she will!!!

I guarantee you his district is predominantly white, so an Obama endorsement would hurt him, this is a state where 70% of the white primary voters went for hillary, and 90 of the black vote went to Obama.

Mississippi is ssa backwards anyway.

Probably the most racist and segregated state in the country – why am i not surprised.

ADMINISTRATIONS BOTH DEMOCRATIC & REPUBLICAN

HAVE WORKED HARD TO MAKE AMERICA A WELFARE

STATE FOR THE RICH, FROM THE WAY WE TAX TO HOW

WE ELECT OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS, WHO NO LONGER

SERVE US, BUT THOSE THAT PAVE THEIR WAY INTO

OFFICE. HENCE THE WORD LIBERAL IS A DIRTY WORD.

IT INFERS DOING SOMETHING FOR THE TAX PAYER, WITH

TAX PAYER MONEY. WE NEED TO WAKE UP & ACTUALLY

PROCESS OUR OWN THOUGHTS. NOT HAVE OUR REALITY

INTERPRETED BY THESE PREDATORS & THEIR COMMERCIALS.

LOL..."If u cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen".

GOOD IDEA! GET AWAY FROM OBAMA AND WRIGHT.

THEY ARE TOXIC!

I'm in Mississippi but not in his district. In any event, he will not win anything if he does not have the balls to stand up and be counted.

Obama needs to get out now – He is having a bad effect on the whole party that the democrats cannot afford!

Obama is a liar if he claims he didnt know his pastor of 20 years until just now – just get out. we are sick of you, obama.

What's the freaking problem with you knowing someone. I guess what will have to happen is to start digging into every politicians past ,just to see if there is something in their past that can be controversal. Maybe their grandfather was a slave owner and had relations with one of the slave girls. Then she had a baby that was sold. Or maybe we can trace your geneology back to Hitler, or maybe a famous serial killer. Get the picture. That's the past and if any man want's to judge you. He also will be judged

I don't think he took a wise stance.

**IF PELOSI AND CLINTON ARE ALSO MENTIONED IN THE ADD, THEN WHY IS THIS ARTICLE WRAPPED AROUND OBAMA SO MUCH....COME ON, THE MEDIA AND BRAINLESS PEOPLE ARE MAKING THIS A SPECTACLE. REAL PEOPLE ARE CONCERENED ABOUT THE REAL ISSUES!!! WAKE UP AMERICA AND VOTE FOR CHANGE. YES WE CAN!! YES WE WILL AND YES HE WILL!!!!

Just shows how stupid some people are. Running scared instead of staying together. As written, it says a lot about the man.

Smart Move!

The question is, are you smart enough to recognize a fad or a candidate that can beat McCain?

Clinton 08!

Good luck in your re-election becuase Hillary won't be able to come and Stump for you she is Broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama is making a List and he will be checking it twice!!!!

After Obama is selected as the Democratic candidate for President this guy will change his tune, won't he? And while it may be true that Obama hasn't endorsed this guy, he may want and need that endorsement in his next election!

How sad that politicians can only think about themselves as if being the representative of a constituency is their paycheck versus the job they signed on to... where, btw, the state voted 61% to select Obama as the Democratic nominee.

Go Obama!

Dude this has nothing to with Obama. This is your opponent using cutthroat tactic against you. You did not have to distance your self from Obama, who will win the nonmination regardless of Rev. Wright. Please know that if someone want to vote for you they are not going to change their minds because of some cutthroat tactics that polititians use.

What a brave one!!! Childers is quite the stand up guy. Wouldn't you hate to go into battle with him watching your back??

I believe Childers made the right move.

This is ridiculous. Childer's isn't distancing himself from Obama. He's just trying to put things back where they were in the first place. His opponent is the one pushing Childer's and Obama together. Childer's is just trying to keep things neutral. And this story gets a headline like this? Are you kidding me!? Oh My God CNN is making me wanna vomit

What the................................!!!!!!!!!????????????

Jeremiah Wright through Obama under the train with super delegates who endorse Obama

"This guy would win with an Obama endorsement. He better rethink his position." Are you kidding us? LOL !!!

Good for him – Barak is bringing the Dems down. Has anyone seen Michelle Obama, or does David Axelrod still have her under house arrest?

Here it comes.... the democrats are waking up to the WRIGHT Poison. Things are going to begin drying up for Mr. Obamy.

I love how Democrats run screaming from any kind of situation where they have to make a statement.This is the problem I have with my party,stand up for your fellow dems when they are being crucified unfairly.Obama is not the vindictive type....but many who will work for him are...this guy is toast.He may win his election but he will be forever powerless in the party.This is why Republicans keep beating us,democrats would eat their own so as not have to stand up to contraversy.I love what the party stands for,its the members of it I cant stand...this guy should grow a pair.

This is the game those old dumbicans play. If what Childers says is true, I would not let the repubs back me into a corner. Let the people know that the dumbicans want the U.S. to stay in a war we don't want and start another one with Iran we don't want and can't afford. I do have to say the Republicans are scheme meisters.

did'nt Obama have a landslide victory in his state?!?!

Lmao! this guy just screwed his political future!

Dude ..you just shot yourself!

This is the game those old dumbicans play. If what Childers says is true, He should not let the repubs back him into a corner.

Let the people know that the dumbicans want the U.S. to stay in a war we don't want and start another one with Iran we don't want and can't afford. I do have to say the republicans are scheme meisters. They thrive on the fear of Americans.

We are all distancing ourselves from Wright and Obama.

Obama could screw up a free lunch.

We hope he endorses Hillary Clinton

Superdelegates, are you watching?

Hillary can save the Dems and win it all in November!!!

POOR DELUDED MAN

This guy is a chickensh–. He should respond by stating you bet your a– I'll take Obama's support for change versus the same old failed policies of the republicans that my opponent represents. My opponent is supported by and represents the failures of the Bush / Republican administration that got us into a senseless war and that have ruined this country's economic standing, etc., etc. But he did not respond that way and is trying to distance himself from Obama. That is called being a chickensh– and a typical weak kneed, spineless Dem.

I've heard several Republican pundits and RNC reps say that Obama is the weaker candidate and would be toxic down the party ticket.

Hmmmm.... I think the Republicans really want Clinton.

Noticed that CNN diminishes the fact that HIllary and Nancy were in the add and he said politicanS not Obama....Yourrrrrrrrrrrre insulting us CNN,

MISSISSIPPI IS A RED STATE!

The first of many to follow...
Obama is risky and more mud will come out on him and his connection to mobsters and hate groups....

In ten years nobody will remember who Obama was!

Knock Knock... who's there.... Obama.... Obama who.... (crickets)

Who wouldn't walk away from Obama? Run don't walk.

The vicious and mean comments about Hillary Clinton by Obama supporters in the previous blog "her remarks about Wright" were completely unnecessary. This kind of poisonous rhetoric will only make Clinton supporters harden their stance on a no-vote for Obama come November. Don't be so ignorant as to think Clinton will change our minds even if she is a very forgiving person, many of us cannot vote for Obama on principal alone. This is due mostly to his supporters rabid dog attacks not his.

Wow.. NickNas, you are exactly right. This is such a short-sighted moved.

And Democrat for Hillary: spare me the silliness. Thanks to Sen Clinton, the democrats are so split that candidates down-ticket are "distancing themselves" from active DEMOCRATIC candidates for president. I can't believe that Clinton and her supporters don't understand how damaging this is for the party, especially since the math will never work for her. I swear she is just hoping she can damage Obama enough so that he will lose and she can run again in 4 years. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Might this be the first of many? Everyone thought Howard Dean would be our nominee last time...

Typical republican tatics, expect more of this type of stuff from them and Hillary. Remeber she is a Goldwater Girl at heart

childers should take a long good look into His crystal ball.... and relized that He may have distanced himself out of an opportunity of a life time........ OBama 08!

Everyone should distance themselves from NObama, such a phony he is.

I personally believe that the Rev. Wright fiasco was staged, simply to give NObama a platform to look apologetic and sincere before Tuesdays crucial primaries.

I believe that NObama thought that by FINALLY denouncing himself from Wright by looking seemingly emotional, would regain his momentum.

I don't buy it, they are two peas from the same pod, it was staged I say!

Go Hillary!!!!!

who is this guy...Childers’ .looks like a complete fool

I think he spoke too soon. I think most people know deep down that Obama is not like Wright, and that he is a good man. Even Clinton admits that. If Obama wins the election, or becomes as powerful in Congress as James Clyburn (for example), this guy will regret this decision deeply.

This guy is an idiot if he thinks he will win any seat in Mississippi. Have you ever been to that state? It is one of the most racially charged places you can ever visit.

I guess the Clintonites would love Mississippi as so many of you have let your true colors shine through over this Rev. Maniac incident. Race is an issue and much of white america (I am a retired WHITE army vet) is afraid to talk about this issue becasue we are so afraid to let the values we have been taught shine through unless you are a racist.

If the comments do not refer to you and you do not act the way that idiot describes it..... why are you crying foul? An old saying goes...." A hit dog will holler" so all of you out there barking....... you must carry that brand of racist!

Who cares what an idiot running for office in MS thinks. He has no support of any voters at this time and he will not win anything in MS.

He better rethink it fast, before it be to late. Rev. Wright don't have anything to do with Sen. Obama. I really think the Clinton have something to do with Rev. Wright comments about Sen Obama on Monday. Obama 08 President!

Childers is n different than most Americans who blames a person for the actions of others. :Who are we to point fingers... This Mississippi candidate have just distroyed himself and his career. Again this proves the quickness to judge.

CNN: Let's see... if we word this just right, this piece of non news might seem like something negative about Obama...

Blitzer: GO WITH IT!

This guy is a nut thinking that Republicans will succeed in their negative campaign this year-is delusional...Get real...Americans want a Democrat in the White House this time no matter what.....So distancing Obama is like playing dumb, and acting politically naive....

GOOD FOR YOU MR. CHILDERS YOU DON'T NEED BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN OBAMA NEAR YOU . KEEP BACRACK OBAMA FAR AWAY FROM YOU PLEASE .

Obama is death to Dem candidates. This is just the beginning. All the Dem super delegates who announced for him are going to find themselves in trouble. The liberal left typified by Ted Kennedy and John Kerry have been marching in lock step with the fake messiah Obama right over the political cliff. Only a matter of time before the next shoe drops. Bye bye Obama. Go away.

This guy is toast !!!!

This person is not wise...NO way Hillary will win this election.

OBAMA 2008/2012

we dont need it he will win any way thanks

Democrat for Hillary April 30th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

WOW the koolaid is being spit up!

Hillary will win!!
Are you kidding? Please.

I agree – not a wise move at all. Obama supporter or Clinton supporter...you certainly don't want to "distance" yourself from either as they will both remain powerful within the party! Dumb. And in Mississippi at that!!

check out what is going on with the KY congressman supporting Obama. He was taking some racial heat and in less than a day Obama supporters from around the country have raised thousands of dollars with national support. Don't let Hillary and her new friends steal this election.

Travis Childers.......... what a coward! Where is your backbone man? Too bad you will have to eat crow, hope you like it.

Nice mustache. Good grief, get a razor would you?

what an inappropriate statement. he's showing his own ignorance by allowing the republican tactics to affect him. what a coward!!! He needs to run as a republican as they are just as ignorant as he is. I feel sorry for the people of mississippi

What an ideot this guy is ... He certainlt doesnt deserve to represent anyone.... What a miscalculation ...

Think carefully about why the NRCC would want to tell Democrats that Obama's candidacy is bad for them.

I'm pretty sure the NRCC isn't going to spend what little money they have trying to help the Democrats.

I don't get it. He doesn't know Obama. So how is he distancing himself from Obama? I think somebody is trying to make a story out of nothing.

I would also like to mention that this entire Rev. Wright issue is a distraction created by the republicans. look at the economy, the value of the dollar and gas prices and bush's all time low approval rating. The republicans will do everything in their power to change the subject and that's why McCain will lose in November. He has the Bush administration to thank for that. Even McCain is trying to distance himself from George Bush.

Senator Obama carried Mississippi. The Obama supporters in Mississippi will remember than at election time.

He sounds like a loser. He'll be sorry that his cowardice will come back to haunt him.

That's fantastic...Just make sure not to ask him to campaign or help you raise money once he is elected!!!

Do you think the Democratic elders will face the truth now and see
that Hillary is their only choice.

Smart move by Childers we can not trust a man to be our President who takes 20 years to realize what kind of person his personal pastor is?

Like waking up from a weekend bender with a not-so-attractive person in bed with you, ain't it Travis! "What the....."!!!!!!

This is kind of funny. But he should know, never turn your backs on prominent presidential candidate, they tend to stay relevant in the future and they have many friends.

WELL WELL WELL I SEE THIS GUY REALLY KNOWS HOW TO RUN WHEN IT GETS HOT IN THE KITCHEN. GOOD LOOK TO FOLKS WHO VOTE FOR HIM.

republicans are soooooo scared of obama.

he is not like any of the same old farts...obama we love u.

Why did we have to take Mississippi back in 1865?

They are trying to turn democrats against Barack so they can face hillary because they known Barack can organize people like no other politican and has the money to take them on Republican and there dirty tactics

I see the republicans have resurrected there southern strategy. Don't vote for that guy he supports those black extremists – be very afraid... We live in a sad country.

Whatever...

CNN – with the exception of Jack Cafferty, you and especially Wolf Blitzer have lost all journalistic integrity. I almost threw my remote at the tv when Wolf said that CNN was not going to report on the Wright story yesterday until Obama had his press conference and then it re-opened the subject up. For God's sake! Are you kidding me. And today his story is about why hasn't Wright responded and he had called them himself. And then this headline. How misleading can you get. You're blaming Obama because the GOP ran an attack ad. You're despicable!!!

This shows the how republican run against any democrats. Obama is next if he is the nomination. I am a democrat and I fear that Obama winning the nomination. Hillary has shown and voters have shown especially in the swing states, that she is the person who cares about their values than Obama. Wright coming to spot light and Obama getting 93% of Black votes enabling the sucess of Obama's popular votes ( not related to pledged delegates) is going to be a race issue that republican will also play.

what a stupid guy

Wow CNN and Republicans! This is a new low for the Media and the Republican Party. Shame on you all.

The unwillingness of the media to let this go says a lot about how desperate the media moguls are to bring Obama down.

Take a tip from another great fighter, Senator Obama:

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Just stay above the fray, Senator Obama.

He should check and see who won Mississippi by 37points before he distancing himself from Barack Obama ""'

if the story is true"distances himself from obama"

then we dont need him, we need brave men and women.
no losers here...

I AM SURE I WOULD SKIP THAT PART OF MISSISSIPPI

AND THIS FELLOW, NEXT TIME I AM AROUND THERE.

THEY ARE FREE TO STAY IN THE DARK AGES.

You'll be sorry looser.

They are afraid of you thjats why the adds.
The media will support everything they can get their clammy hands on to destroy good and front runner candidates.
Obama has his oun campaign to run so I don't think he has the time.
Media........check on Hillary's paster in jail and report on that as well as the Paul vs Clinton case and the biased ruling regarding Hillary's appaerance at the trail

your loss!

Well you just lost, you do know 61% of your states Democrats voted for Senator Obama don't you? Spineless

Childrers distancing himself from the troubled Obama is no different from Obama Distancing himself from Rev. Write. A politician willing to do or say anything to get elected. I hope the smart voters of Mississippi see Childers for what he is....your generic politician.

this man should hope he was half the man obama is. who does he think he is. i hope he looses his election for being the (i am white and better then barack.
what a wimp

Republicans: I hope you lose this race and many others throughout the country!!! All of you Hillary supporters who threaten to vote for McCain in November if this election does not go your way should pay close attention to these kind of instances.

Bad move. Didn't Obama win Mississippi?

WE THEN HAVE TO GUESS HE IS NOT GOING TO

GIVE US HIS SUPERDELEGATE VOTE IF HE HAS ONE.

AND GOD FORBID FOR THIS FELLOW TO BE SO

UNJUSTLY LINKED TO A BLACK MAN. BLASPHEMY

I TELL YOU. ANOTHER TRUTH, I WOULD NOT

PERSONALLY WANT TO BE LINKED TO CHILDERS.

coward!

I can understand wanting to distance yourself from Wright, but why would a fellow democrat think that in an election year, it's helpful to the party or campaigns to distance themselves from each other? Sounds rather CHILDISH to me.

Ask yourself this–

Why would the Republicans take great pains to point out the supposed "toxicity" of an Obama candidacy before he's even clinched it?

Is it because they care SOOOO much about the Democratic Party?

Or is it because they want to try and poison the well so they don't have to face Obama in the fall?

WHo gives a hoot!

And that's his right....this is not news

Latest poll from NC: In North Carolina, Clinton Closes To Within 5 Of Obama

Obamabots – whatcha gonna do when Hillary rolls all over you in NC and IN.

It's over.

Sincerely, americans are uneducated.

Wonder how much Hillary is paying him?

Wow... Guess the Republican tactics worked. Too bad he's too afraid to stand on his own two feet.

yea republicans giving more advice that Obama is toxic....because they would rather run against Clinton.

What a COWARD!!!, you will lose regardless.

CNN, how is telling the truth about something that never happened "distancing" oneself? One would have to be CLOSE in order to add DISTANCE, right?

According to this report, Childers has never been in contact with Obama's campaign, so there is no CLOSENESS from which to DISTANCE himself.

Of course the RNC is going to paint this in the most negative of lights, and of course CNN is right there to fall for it.

Nice backbone there buddy. What you could have said was I have not had the honor to meet the next president of the United States, but I look forward to it.

OBAMA 08

What a thing this Wright controversy has caused.

Obama never handled the situation correctly in the first place. Now he is affecting our entire party. OMG....what can be done........

HILLARY 2008!

So Republicans in Mississippi are a pack of race-baiting liars.

Gosh, who would have guessed?

I wonder if the recent Rev Wright outburst was planned by Obama and just went bad. For example, Obama to Rev Wright: people are still not sure where I stand with you. So you go out there and make some outrageous comments. Then I will come out immediately, denounce your outrageous comments, and completely sever my ties with you. That way we can put this issue to rest before the general election. Sound like a plan?

And the tide turns...

WOW....I hope people don't fall for this stuff. Does anybody wonder why the RNC wants to run against Hillary so bad? If they didn't already have something up their sleeves waiting for her, they wouldn't be so scared of Obama. Think people, think!!!

Hope you lose anyway.

WE REMEMBER THE OLD MISS. AS WE USED TO

CALL HER DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA & THE

THE OLD MISS. SHOULD DO MORE TO PART WITH

THAT, HEART & MIND SET.

Good Grief !!!! And some of you want to nominate Obama and you have some idea he will be electable in a general election in November? Super delegates better get busy backing Hillary now while we still have some chance at the White House.

COWARD

well!!! i hope this guy knows he just lost his election.. obama all the way

This guy would win with an Obama endorsement. He better rethink his position.

LOL... I think you are not going to be hearing much from THIS guy in the future. Not a wise political move at all. No matter what happens with Obama he will end up as a POWERFUL member of the Dem party and people will not forget that.

WOW the koolaid is being spit up!

Hillary will win!!
