Peter Paul junk has been debunked already. The MSM would look like fools to report on it.

Too bad the Star isn't a Superdelegate, because that is the only way Clinton has a chance. End the 20 year Clinton/Bush reign!

well, some folks might not like how they endorsed, but they are the #1 paper in the State (in terms of circulation, if not in terms of quality), and while newspaper endorsements don't always influence voters, most politicos like to get a paper's endorsement than not receive it…..and of course it is the paper's right to endorse what ever person they want to….. mccain/rice08!

Thank you Indianapolis Star! Way to go! Hillary 2008. I'm glad someone is seeing through Barack Obama. I'm for tried and true!

Hillary 2008 and 2012!

thats ok. Means nothing much. OBAMA /08

I f it was a difficult choice, why make a choie?

California Case #BC304174

"In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25, 2008 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!."

“Had Senator Clinton be forced to testify under oath, as a material witness and beneficiary of the fraud that her husband is being sued for before the Democratic Convention, her remote chances for being nominated the party candidate would have been unquestionably destroyed.”

“Paul contends his case will expose "the institutional culture of corruption embraced by the Clinton leadership of the Democratic Party," which seeks to attain "unaccountable power for the Clintons at the expense of the rule of law and respect for the constitutional processes of government."

America backs Obama!!! Yes We Can!!!

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!

I think the political ticker headlines are a good indicator of what our future presidents will be about:

- Indianapolis Star backs Clinton

and

- Obama wonders about Paula Abdul

Go Hillary!!!!

Do newspapers endorsements' work?

Cheap shot Hill Bill

Sharon is rwally Hillarey sneaking into the blogs. Obama is going to win and no amount of whining from Sharon "Clinton" will make a difference!!!!! PAUL VS CLINTON says it all about the lying B _ _ _ H. Bill Clinton loves campaigning for Hillary. Think of all the Monicas he meets out on the trail. What a scumbag. The black folk did not cause the spread of HIV. It was Bill Clinton.

The Indianapolis Star's endorsement states why Hillary Clinton must be our next President!

Between Barach Obama's loyalty to a Pastor, who he knew all along had those extreme views on America and race, and his stereotyping of Pennsylvanians, why would any voter think he has what it takes to be President?

No one in public service should be stereotyping anyone! Did not Obama grow up with that awful way of viewing people? Would he not be the last person to do that himself?

Senator Obama's "epiphany" concerning Rev. Wright was politically driven.

Reverend Wright's silence after the 'denunciation' is deafening!

Although Hillary has this endorsement, she continues to get less superdelegates that Barack each week and has no chance of reaching his total in pledged delegates. The drawn out outcome of the Democratic primary is inevitable, but the "drawn out" part is hurting the Democrats significantly.

Not only are they directing all of their attention and arguments at each other rather than McCain, they are also directing all the Democratic MONEY at each other rather than at McCain. There is a finite limit of money that can be raised for the entire election process on both sides. The Democrats are using the bulk of theirs against each other, while the Republicans are building a big fund to win the election that matters. ALL STATES SHOULD VOTE ON THE SAME DAY to ELIMINATE this huge WASTE OF MONEY and DETRIMENTAL PROCESS of drawn out elections!

I can't believe Obama talking about 30 cents saving a day for "average families". That comparision is why he is so out of touch. They are many Americans that drive long trips to get to work or their jobs require them to drive. Obama just like to tax people instead of having oil companies pay some of the bill. What an out of touch guy Obama has become!!!

KEEP GOING LIB'S…….I LOVE IT.

REPUBLICANS 08

Has it occurred to Hillary supporters that the only way she can get the nomination, at this point, would be by fatally fracturing her party? Does anyone seriously think she can get more popular votes, more delegates and win more states? I know he may not get all three either however, if by some chance she does persuade the SD to side with her and gets FL and MI to count, how is that going to unite the democrats for November?

By persisting and hoping for this unlikely winning scenario, Hillary is considerably weakening her parties chances in Novenmber regardless of who the nominee is. When Romney pulled out of the race, does anyone think it was because he could not carry on and mount a serious challenge to Mccain? Some Repulican elders persauded him to put his party before his own personal ambition. Hillary's blinding ambition may be the single biggest factor in handing the Repubilcans the White House in November.

Hillary is a smart woman. I want a smart person in the "White" House. Ever listen to her interviews? If you havn't then you should. She doesn't beat around the bush like Obama does. He's afraid to debate with her too and there's a good reason for that.

Beautiful!!

If I haven't said it lately….thanks Dems!!!

McCain/08

A vote for Hillary is a vote for more gas profits for the oil companies!

I hope it will help.

I am a manager of one of the largest country clubs in Fla.

There are over 5000 members and I see alot of them on a daily basis.

I would say more than half are democrats and the elections are the

talk of the club. I can tell you first hand if Obama gets the nomination

these people are going to vote for John McCain, and this is not

blowing smoke. The super deligates better think twice before they

loose this election.

The Indianapolis Star hasn't kept up with the issues. Maybe they're more interested in counting flag pins?

Obama wanted a gas tax relief for the state of Illinois in 2000., what have changed his mind now? He is such a flip-flop.

An amazing endorsement considering the other concerns that the paper has with Clinton, not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I need to know how can we get the information out about Hillary and Bill…….Paul Vs Clinto and about the other comments she made.

I SEE THE CLINTON NEWS NETWORK.. WON'T LET YOU POST THE WEB SITE WHERE YOU WILL SEE THE CLINTONS AT THERE WORST!!

Thank you Indianapolis Star for shunning the losers corner!

Hey Sharon…… I bet your blond and twice as stupid.

You really are on the off ramp with your comments.

I would be sore too if my candidate was getting creamed like yours is. Go buy a pint of something you need it

In other words, Obama is a big fat suit filled with nothing but ego, arrogance and hot air. If he ever came up with one original idea I'd eat my hat.

Did you see the youtube Vid!!?? The press had better jump on this as hard as they did the Rev. Wright thing or they will be proving Hillaby Bias!!!

Obama supporters, like Bob of VT, make me doubt reports that the "educated" are voting for Barry.

Geezus…

How crazy is this??!!?!? How much will the media cover the comments made by Kantor who now is an advisor on the Clinton campaign?!?!? WITH Carville and George S. standing right there, nodding in agreement?!?!?!?

This is why the Clinton campaign is awful. Its so hypocritical and callous in nature that anyone who thinks this lady can unite the party and is the primary person responsible for dividing the party is CRAZY!

But, we shall see how the media plays this out…Im sure they will attempt to disclaim it as much as possible…outrageous remarks, huh Hillary? If you knew persons made comments like Wright's you would leave…well, tell Carville, Kantor AND George S. that they cant be a part of your team…but, you wont do that because you need George S. to give you that power punch on Sunday…ABCNEWS is ridiculous!

Go Obama…we are above all of this "stuff"!

Wow!! That's awsome! So what are they going to do report on the superdelegates that Obama's raking in?

Dexter, Hum?

Go Hillary!!!!!

Hillary you are our hero.

Dexter, Hum?

Go Hillary!!!!!

wow….remember when there was this "dream" of when the media would be unbiased? How can a paper ignore a "misspeak" of sniper fire….(that was a lie) - how can they overlook the support and non-support of licensing illegal aliens….and a healthcare plan that supports the same illegal aliens….how about distorting her opponents records with "misspeaking" - how can they support such a person….I guessing framing it as "they all do it" makes it easy….well…except when the other person doesn't - we don't need politicians like this….Republicans, Independents and Democrats will vote for Obama…whereas only Democrats and people who don't read will vote for Hillary

Dexter..FIRST - Hillary did not say that and 2ND she might not have even heard that was said until today!

Why is it that Obama supporters tend to be rude and obnoxious in comments directed at Hillary? Could it be that her intelligence and will to succeed make you envious? Me thinks you doth protest too much!!! Are you afraid that she will actually overtake your "boy wonder"?

I googled PAUL versus CLINTON !! In bold letters at the top of the article, it says:

"THE LARGEST CAMPAIGN FINANCE SCANDAL OF THE NEW MILLENIUM, HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA"

CNN, why are you not covering this story. ???? I would not know about this if I didn't visit the web-site. Why isn't this splattered all over the TV air waves??? Not fair reporting at all !!! You guys are hanging on to my viewership by a very thin thread. I am losing respect for you !!!

I'm confused… Why is when Sen. Clinton proposes a windfall tax to pay for the gas tax holiday that idea is attacked with statements such as 'then the oil companies will just raises prices to counter'. However, Sen. Obama proposes the same idea and some people react as though the Heavens opened up and scrolls were revealed. What he does not state is how he plans to distribute those windfall taxes. Are they to be used for healthcare, education, or just politician's pockets? While Sen. Clinton maintains her plan is a short term offensive to high petrol prices, at least we will see more of a benefit than a thousand dollar tax cut. How does Sen. Obama plan to decide which families obtain the cut? Whereas, the tax holiday would benefit everyone. Maybe the Star can help explain.

More examples of the mindset of Obama supporters. Nasty, vile blowhards spewing nasty, vile things at Hillary. If these are the types of people that are drawn to Obamas' message of "Hope' please count me out. Watch the interview that Hillary did with Bill O'Reily and you'll see the tough, knowledgeable, intelligent woman that she is. The person we need to straighten out this mess that Bush has gotten us into. Saw a gathering of undecided voters being asked about the accomplishments of the three candidates. They all could name accomplishments for Clinton and McCain. None could name any accomplishments for Obama, even the people who were favoring him.. Enough said.

Hillary is the choice of the GOP talkers. Maybe they know something you don't. They are afraid of Obama in the general; they look forward to bashing Hillary.

I dont know who youtube is kidding.That is not James Carville.Too much hair.

Here's the EFFECT of Holiday Gas Tax, it NOT only affects how much you pay at the gas pump but also at the grocery. The reason prices of groceries you buy are at least 30% higher than the last two months, truckers have to charge more for hauling those groceries to supermarkets near you.

Thank God there are enough voters in Indiana
to discern for themselves an honest campaign & comittment to rebuild the USA to be the inclusive country most want it to be as opposed to an haphazardous campaign that recognizes the only way they can stay in the race is to use hate-mongering ,smoke -screens,proven lies & withholding relevent personal info.
Indiana for Obama !!!!

GREAT HILLARY! We need you now more than ever!

The Obama supporters, including a few superdelegates(one of which betrayed Hillary yesterday from Indiana), are in a total state of panic if you just read on the site here! It's incredible the things that they come up with!

Phoney scandals aren't going to change voters minds! Give it up, because you really look like jerks!

If you think that Americans want Reverand Wright slipping in and out of the White House for 4 years, you're wrong dead wrong! And that goes for all 50 states that might feel a little bitter these days.

OBAMA IS UNELECTABLE AND HAS WON NO BIG STATES!

Nice endorsement - writing that the New York senator “regrettably has pandered more to voters” than Obama, adding that some of her political experience on her husband, former President Bill Clinton’s, behalf “understandably gives many voters pause about whether another Clinton should serve as president.”

Why even endorse if you have such reservations about pandering and borrowing experience from her husband?

For those who think the break on the gas tax for the summer is a great idea "so people can go on vacation," there are many reasons not to do this. It is a short term fix that probably won't work because the oil companies will just raise costs to cover the tax, but if it does work in the short term, will cause gas to be even more expensive later due to increased demand and only save the average citizen about 30 bucks total. If things are so bad, how can you even consider traveling for vacation? Seriously, staying close to home for vacation is not the biggest sacrifice one can make. I plan to take up gardening as a hobby this year to keep me closer to home and help with the cost of food. Not terribly exciting, but necessary at this time.

I can't believe how bitter people are. I guess all those people complaining about the gas rebate proposal should give back the refund that the Bush administration just gave them? That rebate as well may not stimulate the economy. So, for those of you getting back 1200 or more, why don't you just give it back?

Hurricane Hillary, the Tonya Harding of politics, is such a bitter person.

We have had almost 8 years of "experience" and we all know how that's going.

Our greatest leaders, including Abrham Lincoln, had the least experience yet achieved the greatest results!

We need Obama NOW!

Hillary's a liar and will do anything to win. Too bad her supporters don't seem to care that she has so many negative things about herself and the way she's ran her campaign. She's just the Bush version for democrats. Do anything, say anything and don't care what anyone else thinks!

Yay Hillary Tonya Harding! Knee cap the DNC so everyone will dislike you more in 2012!

Who cares? The whole nomination and election process is so drawn out that it has become a tiresome abomination (Obamination?). There should be a ban on political advertisements until one month before the election; if someone wants to hear what these talking heads have to say they can search out someplace to hear their drivel.

To Sharon 11:51am: You're the Idiot! Not bashing you or anything.
Pall vs Clinton is REAL hun!
The Sniper Fire Lie is real hun!
The $800,000.00 the Clintons got from Columbia is real hun!
The Mark Penn making secret talks with Columbia is real hun!
Hillary supporting NAFTA is real hun!
Hillary supporting the war is real hun… Should I go on.. come on now REALLY? Are you that SLOW????????

Good job! She is the one who will win the Whitehouse back!

obama still hasnt adressed his problems,last months race speech this weeks wright speech……..first he refused to disown wright now he says he dont know him……lol,this is the guy he called his uncle,wright baptised obamas kids,wright went on trip with farakhan,and obama knew about it, does obama expect us to beleive over 20 yrs he wasnt aware of wright racist hateful style??obama lacks experience,obama refuses to debate hillary now,they have debated 4 times not 20, obamas,rezco,bill airs,farrakhan,wright issues,obama cant ignore these……………obama lost the big crucial states to hillary….texas,ohio,penn,ny,cali ect…….hillary beat obama in these battle ground states………if obama is the dem nominee??millions of clinton supporters will not not not vote obama in nov,we will vote mccain,in 2012 mccain will be 76 and hillary will run again,but its not over yet………on ac 360 the other night michelle obama and caroline kennedy were interviewed on cnn.nice try, but even if JFK popped out his grave and endorsed obama,it would nt help,obama is done

I Knew that Hillary was good at fooling people (Ohio & Pensylvania), but newpapers such as the Indiana Star should know better…or maybe there is something in it for them?? As been sain many times, Hillary will do ANYTHING to win this primary.

It amazes me what the Clinton campaign can get away with. Voter suppression behind the robo-calling work of Women's Voices, Women Vote organization, racist comments and derogatory comments on Hoosiers by campaign staffers, and Clinton's own comments of 'Rich people, God Bless Us.' The Indy Star backing is reflective of what…establishment media?

Whoop-de-doo every newspaper in PA had endorsed Obama and it did'nt make much difference.With internet who needs newspapers?

OH my GOD!!!! Please check out the you tube video that "JUST wait till the STAR sees this" has mentioned. It's about 5 or 6 comments down. Unbelievable!!!!

YOU YOUNG OB. SUPPORTERS AND CLINTON HATERS SHOULD START REALLY THINKING ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY.

If she was so darn electable then why hasn't she won the nomination already!!!!!! She can't even win in her own party what makes she will win in the general election?

Don't people see that the Republicans love this stuff! I wonder which way the Star normally goes in major elections, Republican maybe?

"less media more issues" said: "First, some people can use the extra money to put food on their table."

——————————————————————————–

This is true but how much groceries do you think $5-$7 a month in gas savings is going to buy at the rate the cost of groceries are going up?

What happens at the end of the summer when they put the gas tax back on? Groceries certainly won't be cheaper.

The economics of it is that removing the gas tax will only lower the gas 10-15 cent depending on where you live. It will make people buy more gas, in which basic supply and demand, in this case more demand, will only increase the price of gas.

Lastly - that gas tax is used for our transportation infrastructure. Take that away, not only do you run the risk of ailing roads, but you also create a potential of putting people that work on those roads out of a job because there won't be any money to repair/build bridges, streets, and roads.

I'm not attacking you, just wanted to comment based on what you said. Trust we ALL need some kind of relief!!!

Indy Star: credit this excerpt to one of your own, Joe Andrew - a truly couragous American who publicly commited his stance.

In my view, pretty much sums up the "experience vs. judgement" debate:

"What I humbly believe today is that we, as Democrats and as Americans, face what Dr. King characterized and what Senator Obama reminds us is the fierce urgency of now. As a nation, we are at a critical moment and we need leaders with the character and vision to see us through the challenges at hand and those to come. I can't guess what will happen tomorrow, so I can't tell you what kind of experience our next President will need to have to deal with those challenges. But I can tell you what kind of character and vision they will need to have — and that is what inspires me about Barack Obama.

Thank you Joe…Dems, wise up please!

Wow, what a ringing endorsement. Hail to the Panderer in Chief.

How about Obama voting for CHENEY'S energy bill. HRC did not. Another instance of Barry voting with Republicans. Barry gave oil company's tax breaks. This is a man of the PEOPLE? Sounds like he was taking care of the big oil & gas interests whose executives and employees contribute to Barry's campaign. How much did that deprive the US Treasury of? Let us not forget Exelon, the largest producer of nuclear energy in the US. Members of Exelon are on his campaign committee. Barry watered down legislation in IL that would have required mandatory reporting by Exelon to report their accidental toxic waste spills. Barry changed "mandatory" to "voluntary" at the request of Exelon. We all know how well self policing worked for us during the current administration. But for someone who votes with CHENEY, what could one expect."

Truckers will save thousands with Hillarys gas tax relief plan. Truckers use hundreds of gallons of fuel per day and will save thousands during the summer. Obams does not care about the little guy."

When O'Reilly asked about the holiday gas tax break, Hillary's response was: 1) She wants to go after the windfall profits that oil companies have reaped since Bush got into office. 2) She wants to take on the OPEC oil cartel. 3) She wants to change consumer consumption habits. 4) She wants to invest in alternative energy sources.

Journalists only focus on the holiday gas tax break, but her plan is far more aggressive.

Obama will never take on the oil industry. He takes his cue from energy producers, not consumers. He voted for Cheney's energy bill. Hillary voted against it. That's a huge difference

Does BO know how this happened? Can the DNC not control these folks?
Unbelievable!
Wow!!
Can this be WRIGHT??

The Indiana Star must be in debt and Hillary lied to them so that they would back her and give her free publicity. Hmmmm the question is: Will they get paid???? She is notorious for NOT paying her venders!!

You mean the Indianapolis Star has a right to back Hillary? You mean that they can do that against the wishes of Obama supporters? What is happening here? You mean they have freedom of speech without being " irresponsible "? Oh, my goodness does that imply that people are free to vote for who ever they chose? Kind of sounds like an election.

30 cents here, 30 cents there, pretty soon we would be talking in billions of dollars. You can't make a dollar without a penny.

To some people the amount is small, to a family of four struggling to make both ends meet that is a MILLION. Obama, Bloomberg and these so-called "expert on economics" don't have to worry about 30 cents, to them it means nothing but to a person who can barely buy a loaf of bread due to sudden surge of prices in common commodities like eggs, milk and bread that is a LOT of money. Obama voted for holiday gas tax when he was a state legislature in Chicago, now he is against it. I call it political posturing. Hillary actually has a long term plan to move this country towards renewable energy which Obambi copied once again.

Seems like the star doesn't like hot air with no plans. Lets all shout change. I want to know what he has done in his career that equals change.

Ok yes, the interview with O Rielly and Clinton was very good, but Merideth is the one that pansied around with Senator O on the questions. Can't blame Senator O for that one!

"Based on experience and grasp of issues"

Then they go on to question her experience given that it was gained on Bill's dime. Interesting.

The grasp of issues is especially comical given her gas tax policy. Clearly she hasn't grasped that one.

Mickey Cantor from 1992 does not reflect Cliinton's feelings. If you are willing to overlook Obama's relationship with Rev Wright and Wm Ayers, then you are a hypocrite to criticize Hillary for a surrogate's lack of couth.

In reading the blogs by Obama followers you will see many references which demonstrate the sense that Obama followers consider the residents of Indiana to be intellectually challenged.

This endorsment is making the obomabots very BITTER!!

The reference is to Obamans, not Indianans. The reference rings true.

Another peopagandest paper obviously. They probably have the journalistic integrity of a fomer Soviet Union state sponsored news paper. In other words, you can't believe anything they put to print.
Now a credible news organization which by the way CNN is not would inform the public of the upcoming Paul vs Clinton civil fraud case. You can run but you can't hide. Billary will probably end up in prison over this one. A Clinton appointed judge tried his best to stop it fom going forward but all he could was delay Hillary's material witness testimony until after November so as to give them some time to get their lie straight. Don't fall for it america, it is worse then ever. Obama all the way!

Too bad that the Indiana paper is backing the wrong candidate.

I ask the editor how is Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton change?

How can the Indiana Star endorse a candidate who VOTED FOR THE WAR???????????????????????????????????????????

Typical Bitter White Person: This typical bitter Hispanic girl agrees with you. Right on!!!

I guess the media is finally waking up to the fact that Obama's statement about controversial "people" (plural, his own word) from his past was a warning that the GOP is going to rip him apart this fall.

The Odinga stuff is starting to trickle out now and the GOP hawks are going to jump on the fact that Obama supported this guy in August 2006 and now Odinga's supporters are killing Christians in Kenya and he is pushing for Sharia Law there. Then Odinga fundraises for him in 2007 and claims to be Obama's cousin through Obama's father. This is another thing, like Wright, that is not going to go away simply because a bunch of besotted supporters want to ignore facts that tarnish their image of their candidate.

Hillary 08

Thats a shame that such a respectable newspaper would support Clinton over Obama. Senator Clinton has ran a very negative campaign and took advantage of Obama's platform of trying to stay positive and not launch the kind of attacks against Clinton that she relentlessly aims at him. Obama is from their neighboring state of Illinois and he would be much more prone to help Indiana than Clinton will.

Chew on this…if Hillary wins in November (God forbid) and gets elected to a second term (again, God forbid), we will have 28 straight years with either a Clinton or a Bush in the White House. What's next, Chelsea or Jenna? Enough is enough!

I can understand why. I, like a lot of other Obama supporters, was in denial until recently. I didn’t want to admit I made the mistake by choosing Obama. I wish some miracle will happen telling me all the things about his judgment on Wright and all the words he said about small town Americans are nothing but a bad dream. I became so defensive when people talked down on Obama. I finally realize I want Obama to win for me, for me, so I can go out and tell people “See, I’m right all along”. I then asked myself do I really have faith in Obama that he can win the general election, or whether things in Washington will really change if he’s in the White House. My answer to myself is a big NO.

OBAMA + SINCLAIR …. Drugs and Gay sex … not going to go over well with small town American, Mr Obama.

Thank you very Much Indianapolis Star!

So? Is the newspaper a superdelegate…lol…

The more institutions and people realize that the best person to run this country is Hillary, the better off the Dems will be in the GE.
The Indianapolis Star simply states what many people have known for a while. Hillary Clinton is the tougher more experienced opponent and would probably get things done quicker.

I am a little tired already of all the Far Left Liberals insinuating that if the Superdelegates swing to Hillary and give her the nomination, it would be a shame and a theft. Balony. The Superdelegates should use their judgement and vote for who ever they think is more electable and would have a better chance to defeat the Republicans. The way things are shaping up now, it seems to me more and more that Hillary is that person.

To paraphrase something Bill Richardson said about the Clintons, The Obama campaing feels they have a sense of entitlement to the nomination because of all the young people and blacks turning out to vote. It would be a sham if somehow Hillary got the nod. This is absurd. Hillary Clinton has brought in as many votes and brought out millions of new voters herself. Let's not make this about affirmative action. This is not the time to bring in an inexperienced politician with alot baggage to run the most important office in the world. We need experience and toughness .

People need to really think about what is at stake and not be lulled into a sense follow the leader just for the sake of it.

How is a person that is loosing be more electable. It makes no sense. That is just down right silly too me. She is loosing. She is not even more electable with her own party.

Amen ! It is time to get even with a loser now. I am sure Nobama will cry like a baby again when he lose the primary in Indiana. He will start calling name , the uneducated , old , racist white voters who did not vote for him . Nobama will get only the educators and drug dealers ' vote only again. It is time to go , Nobama . 2008 is for HIllary.

Who is your best candidate?

Look at their smiles!

When McCain smiles I see a pupet on a string.
When Hillary smiles I see the smile off a speaking doll.
When Obama smiles I see his soul!

How can you doubt?
He will be the best and most respected President of the USA ever!

Barack Obama the hope of so many in this world.

Ted
The Netherlands.

Let's take a head count. How many of the Clinton defector's are male? How many are female? It's the good ole boy power process trying to snuff out Clinton.

Dexter,

Thanks for posting the link as I am sure that CNN will not see fit to discuss this!!!

It's the race and superdelegates that we want Obama to get!

Go Obama!

AWESOME!!!

Bad decision by the Star. Of course, few if any voters give a hoot about who newspapers endorse. And I suspect there's an agenda there by that newspaper.
ENOUGH about Hillary's "experience." She voted FOR the Iraq war. She BLEW IT in the early '90s when she first had an opportunity –handed to her on a golden platter — to push a health reform plan. Her secrecy and the overcomplexity of the plan DOOMED it. Now she pushes a gas tax holiday that won't actually HELP the consumers…only pad the profits of oil refiners. And let's not forget how inept her campaign has been run. I fear what our Treasury Department would look like after a few months of her "stewardship."
Oh, and let's not forget her LIES. Remember SniperGate anyone?
Obama is the only one who tells it like it is. We need CHANGE desperately, and Hillary can't sell it or implement it.

“Hillary Clinton is the better choice, based on her experience and grasp of major issues"

Yes she has done better than Obama in that category. This shows why Obama is very unwilling to take her on any more debate offers. Hersuffers in the polls after the last debate. The man was dumbfounded when ask about Alternative Minimum Tax in a debate! Should we blindly elect a man with just a good rhetoric on hope and change? Because he does not understand the issues, he is totally helpless without his speech writers. Common people, wake up!

How much will the gas tax save truckers who spend $1000 to fill their tanks?….or other vehicles that require desel and use hundreds of gallons?….won't this help bring down costs of goods that are transported in these vehicles? What about the families who need the extra $10, 20, 30 for groceries? Does he even get how little money some families have right now? I remeber a point in my life when my children were young, my husband and I were starting our own business….I remember having $0.00 in my checking account, needed laundry detergent and groceries…..$10-$20.00 was a ton of money to me then. I understand…..BO just doesn't get it……..

Dan, MA - did you watch the interview with Hillary by Bill O'Reilly? She is very much in touch with the status of our country and how we can get there. I was impressed by her intelligence and knowledge during that interview.

Sorry - but Obama preaches "hope" were Clinton is talking facts and solutions. Watch it for yourself - unless you are another "bot"?

I find it ridiculous when people complain about Hillary's plan to do away with the "gas tax" temporarily and then make the gas companies pay for the roads and etc. I find it idiotic, the complaining, because that is NOT the ONLY solution she is proposing. It is a stop gap measure to buy some time. What part of that don't you dimwits not get? Sure it won't solve the energy problem. But is a short step in the right direction.

CNN has people standing by with this Breaking News Alert. People all over the globe have been awaiting this news. Wolf is ready to push the button, and send it on it's way.

The Obama Clan's response is predictable as usual. Anyone who stands up to be counted as supporting A.B.O. (anyone but Obama) gets burnt at the stake as a heretic.

Congratulations. This wing of the Democratic party is starting to feel like the Far Right Wing of the Republican party in terms of how intollerant it is to other people's views.

Gotta love this part!!!

"writing that the New York senator “regrettably has pandered more to voters” than Obama"

Yet they still endorsed her… geez.

Hillary is the only one who will win the general election.

Odrama supporters, that is what this is about!!! Sure democrats like him, but the country is NOT all democrats!!! Our party HAS to appeal to the other side. A democrat WILL NOT win out them!

Just ask Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, and On November 5, 2005 ask Obama!

Seems like a lot of print (and cable if you ask me) news media outlets vote for Clinton. And I have no idea why…

Hope Barack is still able to pull it off in Indy and NC.

If it was Paul vs Obama would we hear about this on CNN? Why don't you report on Paul vs Clinton???

You BO supporters that are trying to smear Hillary are so mean…you are trying to compare coverage of his decision to listen to and have a close relationship with a man who seems so misguided and full of hate, with a nut-job who wants money and files claims that continually get thrown out of court….you want to hold Hillary responsible for a nut who keeps filing unfounded court cases??????
What exactly is your point in doing this?
Is this part of the "better politics", "hope and change" that your candidate stands for?
Is it?

More electable??? Someone send in the loony squad…they have all gone nuts.

They are both crooks….and that is why she is losing.

OBAMA 08

Ok, For the idiot, and I sure do mean idiot BO supporters who BELIEVE the paul case has ANY merit, or the "Clinton, NY in Oneida County" story has ANYTHING to do with Hillary….
Maybe you'll also believe LARRY SINCLAIR VS. OBAMA AND HIS CAMPAIGN…..
Please don't take this as a bash of ALL BO's supporters, it's clearly not….but the ones who are trying to smear the Clintons with absolute LIES are really just pitiful. Anyone can file a claim, anyone can make a video and post it on YouTube, anyone can make a web site and write anything they want…..IT DOESN"T MAKE THE INFORMATION TRUE! You keep asking why MSM doesn't cover these stories….because they are NOT TRUE! OK????? When people go and research and realize what you are doing, it will backlash, be careful, you may be making people realize how nasty you guys really are……

If you truly support your candidate because he is honest and full of hope for the future, WHY would you believe these things? Does it make you somehow feel better about what happened to him the last few weeks? If that's what it is, please note that Hillary supporters have been experiencing horrible bias for nearly a YEAR! Just now you are feeling what we have been feeling!

BTW, CNN….why do you let so many people post such horrific lies? Don't you moderate for a reason? Is this your way of keeping stories going that you can't cover???? What is your problem?????

I personally think it's time for Sen. Obama to come at Sen. Clinton hard. He should pull out Peter Paul, Stan Lee, Paula Jones, Travelgate, and everything else in these last 96 hours before the polls open. He should handle her like a back street ho' and use the back of his political "P!mp Hand" to handle his business properly. After he spanks her next week, he needs to tell her “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”! Peace out!

Obama '08′

Yep, she has the experience all right. The experience to drive this country right into the ground. If you think our economy is bad now, you'd best hope Clinton doesn't get into office.

First, some people can use the extra money to put food on their table.

Second, I don't want to watch a President learn how difficult politics can be (Wright) as much as I hate politics - I want someone to do what is necessary.

That is Hillary. She's the best we've got and most able to win.

I guess the media is finally waking up to the fact that Obama's statement about controversial "people" (plural, his own word) from his past was a warning that the GOP is going to rip him apart this fall.

The Odinga stuff is starting to trickle out now and the GOP hawks are going to jump on the fact that Obama supported this guy in August 2006 and now Odinga's supporters are killing Christians in Kenya and he is pushing for Sharia Law there. Then Odinga fundraises for him in 2007 and claims to be Obama's cousin through Obama's father. This is another thing, like Wright, that is not going to go away simply because a bunch of besotted supporters want to ignore facts that tarnish their image of their candidate.

If newspaper endorsements were predictors of who wins a state, Obama would have won Pennsylvania…so let's not read too much into this.

Any endorsement that doesn't come from a superdelegate is meaningless at this point.

GO HILLARY!!!!

It saddens me how Clinton and Obama supporters insult each other. I am an Obama supporter and strongly believe that he will be the nominee, but we will need the support of all of the democratic base to get him elected in November. So please, let us unite whoever the nominee is.

Well…I am not buying your paper again for sure.

Obama is not experienced enough you say?? I will take inexperienced leader over experienced liars (Johny McSame / HillBilly Clinton) any given day.

In spite of the pandering to voters and in spite of the fact that she uses parts of Bill's experience to bolster her resume they still endorse her. Why? Because think of all the fun the media is going to have if she did manage to steal the nomination and manages further to win the general election (i shudder to think). Think of how much fun they will have with all the scandals bound to happen. There's already one in the works and she will have to testify after the election. woudn't it be more fun to report on a president elect testifying than a mere senator?

The republicans are doing a lot to make Obama look bad. Why would they do that during the primaries? What possible benefit would it be to get him out of the way now? Because they know full well that they have enough on Hillary to sink her general election campaign. Seriously, what other reason would they have to stick their nose into the democratic primary. If Obama is so beatable in the general election it would make sense for them to want him to run in the general….but apparently they don't so they must think he could win.

I sure wish Clinton's supporters would use a little common sense. I hope that the superdelegates do.

Maybe Clinton's supporters are all excited about the extra 10 bucks a month they could get this summer. they're probably all booking big trips with that windfall.

This endorsement certainly isn't such a 'glowing" endorsement of Hillary…….I think it more or less left it up to the voters of Indiana to really decide…as it should be…and will be on Tues. May 6, 2008.

Let me guess, the editorial board of The Indianapolis Star must be a bunch of Uneducated 65+ old Morons, like her other supporters.

Our President Obama 08′ & 12′

This is a short sighted vision…
The question Clinton winning in Indiana will make her stay longer in the race and decrease the democrats chance of winning in November.
what will be the result: more 4 years of Bush/ McCain
The focus should be on winning against the republicans and the only way to do that is to end this primary now. Indiana has a golden chance of making that decision by voting Obama

Very approproate. Didn't the same rag endorse Bush in the past?

Being from New York and having seen Hillary Clinton "confront major challenges" the only thing I can say is that she writes a scathing letter the day after something happens indicting anyone she's not politically connected to.

Endorsements, polls. Are they votes. I think not unless you vote for her as a voter or superdelegate you can add and they don't win elections.. Ever wonder why republicans and the media Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Joe Scarborough, Dave Gregory, Andrea Michell (all of MSNBC) keep the Rev Wright story alive linking him to Obama? Because that's all they have against him. Obama is ahead in all of the counts except Superdelegate and he's gaining on that. Poll don't win elections counts do. Ever wonder why republicans are pushing Hillary more than McCain? Because McCain is not conservative, Hillary used to be a republican and they want to get back in the house. This battle doesn't stop in Nov. The superdelegates are going for Obama because they remember, the Democrats lost control of the House, Senate, and Governorship while the Clintons were in the white house.

While they're within their right to endorse whomever they want, I'm troubled by their statement that they endorse her, but they admit that she is pandering to the voters about the gas tax. What does that say about her ability to lead and come up with real solutions and be able to get those solutions implemented?

If I were a regular reader of that paper, I would have to wonder how they came to that decision and whether they're interested in more of the status quo in Washington, or whether they have seen an increase in readership since the PA primary and they just want to try to hang onto their new distribution to sell more papers throughout this process and into the GE.

DO NOT WORRY GUYS ….INDIANAPOLIS STAR IS NOT A SUPERDELEGATE..AHAHAH
OABAMA 08

Sen. Clinton has a strong record of public service, far better than her husband's. She's actually been a law professor, didn't just play one on the campaign trail. Her negotiating skills have been praised by those who are in the front lines of foreign relations and she has been a powerful advocate for veterans, including National Guard members who have been neglected in the past.

She has endured some of the most outrageous accusations that continue to be spread despite the facts and evidence that disproves them. If she hadn't achieved so much, she probably wouldn't be the target of so many gossip mongers.

Indianapolis Star,

Are you even looking at the math? It's impossible for Hillary to beat Obama in pledged delegates. Perhaps, you guys are in cahoots with Rush Limbaugh's operation chaos. Do you want to see a riot in Denver?

Be for real. Hillary can't possibly win. She's too polarizing. She panders to whites, to white women, and to Latinos. And I guess her pandering has worked on you as well. Is your newspaper ran by women who love the book "Why Women Should Rule the World?" Even if they are liars, like Hillary.

Yawn. Just confirms that Clinton is the choice of old-guard Democratic establishment / machine hacks, counting on unthinking sheep to vote the way they're told to. Same old same old.

Indiana votesr — please THINK. OBAMA tells it like it is — he stands for principle, not pandering.

Clinton gets back by newspaper.

Obama gets backed by Superdelegate.

Hmm, which is actually relevant?

They acknowledge pandering yet endorse? Sweet!

The way things are. THey praised her cynicism. She always claimed Obama is "unelectable" even though he is beating her because she believes, like Rev. Wright that white people cannot and will not vote for a black man.

Obama is appealing to the America we want to be. We want to believe that we dont judge people by their race. That we can see past that. That we can acknowledge our divided past without being held back by that past.

The challenge is not of Obama. The challenge is of us.

Clinton cannot win the PLEDGED DELEGATED COUNT, thus she cannot win the nominee.

Just ask Al Gore, who won the popular vote but lost the pledged delgate count and thus lost the white house.

The media is attempting to drag this race to increase their viewing rating, thats why they play this race as being close.

Clinton supporters: im sorry to break your hopes, but you can find new ones in obama. there is plenty of space.

Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE WE ALL WANT CHANGE

LET ELECT THE 1ST WOMAN PRESIDNET AND MAKE REAL CHANGE

LET GO GIRLS LETS MAKE HISTORY LETS DO IT FOR ALL OUR MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS WHO HAD TO ENDURE THE DOUBLE STANDARD AND SEXISM FOR ALL THESE YEARS
THIS IS OUR MOMENT LETS MAKE HISTORY AND LETS MAKE THE REAL CHANGE TO OUR POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

HILLARY 08

Looks like Newspaper management want something and Editorial wanted something else.

Heading speaks for Clinton While Content supports Obama….I get it…

People are for obama….thanks….

yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently they haven't been paying attention to the campaign…

WAY TO GO!!! CLINTON IS THE MORE ELECTABLE OF THE TWO - THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT!! GO, HILLARY! WE NEED YOU!!

Indianapolis Star I've got a Hot Headline for you…

"Hillary Insults Americas Intelligence buy tossing them 30 cents a day for Major Gas Crisis"

I see obama supporters are upset.

""The Indianapolis Star is irresponsible for writing this endorsement.""

Normally I'd agree, but the "endorsement" is more notable for it's disclaimers.

It's like the equivalent of a 5-4 Supreme Court decision.

Pandering to voters ? That's all this woman and her husband have been doing all of their life.

Congratulations on doing a thorough job researching the candidates and making the absolutely correct endorsement. Smart people at this paper.

BIG MISTAKE

Newspapers are supposed to be objective … not subjective. Even if the paper endorsed Obama it would be just plain wrong. What if CNN endorsed Obama …. ??

What are the FEC doing?

Pandering to voters ? You bet. That's all this woman has been doing all her life.

Hillary is using George W. Bush's tactics against Congress; "you're either for me or against me". I don't believe Hillary is a uniter and will suffer the inability to bring change in Washington using these kind of tactics. Being ambitious is important, but using George W. Bush's tactics can prove to be very damaging. I don't remember Bill Clinton ever using such an approach to problem solving. Obama stands for uniting and crossing party lines and will accomplish what is expected without creating unnecessary anger and division. Support Obama.

If your a crook and above the law that the paper will endorse you.

If you have a brother who deals in drug traffican and paid your husband for a Pardon that the paper will endorse her.

just think about all the trash and unlaw biding conducts of the clinton and the only tine they do something for someone is when they get paid.

Vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for corruption and dishonest government.

Have been wondering if she becomes president, will Hillary will throw as many lamps in the White House as she did as First Lady. Will we need to raise taxes to pay for them?

Did Hillary have a clear-eyed view when she thought the race would be over Feb 5? Did she have a clear-eyed view when she chose Mark Penn, a trade lobbyist, as her chief strategist? Did she have a clear-eyed view to manage her debt ladden campaign? Like Hillary, I think you're pandering, Indianapolis Star.

HOW MUCH WERE THEY PAID AND WHAT WERE THEY PROMISED.

Obama had 80% of the Pennsylvania newspaper endorsments and we see how good that did him. I didn't see CNN reporting on that though. This is lopsided.

A newspaper endorsement have about as little support that the tissue paper I use. Who cares. In time they will become predatory towards her the honeymoon only last for so long.

Congratulations to Sen Clinton for securing this endorsement. I honestly do not see all of this experience that they refer, especially given Clinton's track record of poor choices but that is something they will have to live with.

So how many superdelegates doe she get from this? None.

What about this lawsuit that Hillary is mixed up in? CNN will you report on it or not. Maybe you guys should wait until after Tuesday. I understand.

She's more experienced on how to play politics as usual but that's about it. "Are you with us or against us?" Her comments from yesterday are just that, politics as usual. This is not the type of attitude that will unite our country but rather it will divide this country even more than it is now.

First I would like to give a special thanks to The Rev Wright, without you none of this would be possible.

She was endorsed by the Des Moines Register and lost Iowa.

Obama was endorsed by every major paper in Texas and Pennsylvania, as well as several in Ohio- and he lost those states.

Hillary will win both Indiana and NC. Yall better get back on board the H-Train… and try not being a hater about it. Otherwise vote Nader and GIVE the election to the repugs…. traitors!

Thank You - The Indianapolis Star for making the right choice.

Hillary 2008 or 2012.

They will soon regret it just like the New York Times, who recently called her negativity too task.

Look at this North Carolina poll from Insider Advantage! Perhaps there is a chance for victory in NC after all….

Wow! Don't you love when a local newspaper endorses a candidate who's supported by people who hate Indiana?

pandered more to voters…pause about whether another Clinton …, Does not sound like a ringing endorsment.

Thats nice that they endorse Senator Clinton since the Paul vs Clinton fraud case in court right now, for those of you who think this case has been thrown out or is irrelevant:
"In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25, 2008 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!." (paulvclinton.com)
Here is the kicker - the judge is a Bill Clinton appointee!

why dont you lok at all her lies and her past to see all her cover ups i cant believe a paper of your kind can have the wool pulled over your eyes so well

Why are they not reporting about Paul vs Clinton? The truth will still come out no matter how much endorsements they make. Please read this below…. I was shocked when I read it. it is true.

…Wow it is real, read this guys………….. she is done. Someone put a fork in her….. she is done. Read this below no wonder super delegates dont want to endorse her and the republicans are mum about it because that is what they would use to finish her in the fall….. WOW……..

"""Trial date to be set in Paul vs. Clinton on February 21, 2008
By Kathy Miller | The Hillary Project
Posted 2 months, 2 weeks ago email to friend tool nameclose
tool goes here
The Case Management Conference hearing in Paul v Clinton et al on February 21, in Los Angeles Superior Court will finally set a trial date in the long delayed civil fraud case and it will set a schedule for discovery that will include the sworn depositions of the entire Clinton family and the Clinton hierarchy of the Democratic Party.

A trial was set for March 2007, but it was delayed due to an appeal of a lower-court's decision to dismiss Sen. Clinton as a defendant. The California Supreme Court upheld the decision, but Sen. Clinton, nevertheless, will be required to testify under oath along with her husband as material witnesses.

Seven years ago Peter Paul began whistleblowing to the government and alerting the media of numerous illegalities committed by Hillary and Bill Clinton in order to win Hillary’s first election to public office.

The multi-million dollar donor to Hillary’s Senate campaign that caused Hillary’s finance director to be indicted and tried in May, 2005, for hiding his contributions, and whose complaint to the FEC resulted in a finding that Hillary’s campaign broke the law resulting in the only FEC fine imposed against Hillary’s campaign, will begin the discovery process leading to a trial in Los Angeles later this year of the Clintons and others for destroying Paul’s public company.
