He has no real hard lines on what his policys are and what he will really do if he gets elected. At least Clinton has all of her ducks in a row and knows exactly what ,when and how she will get things done. Her many years of experiance before and after the White House will only beneift the country. Come on Indiana and North Carolina do what we did in California and vote for Hiliary Clinton.

He reports as though Barack Obama is behind and Hillary Clinton is the front runner, even in this peice he is saying "I keep hearing from very worried Democrats this constant refrain. The loser of the Democratic presidential contest – whether it’s Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton" he says Barack name first like he;s behind. he is such a biased reporter.

The USA Today/Gallup survey was taken after the controversy reignited over comments by Obama's former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the newspaper said. Illinois Senator Obama led New York Senator Clinton by 10 points in support nationwide in a similar poll two weeks ago, USA Today said. The new poll marks the first time that Clinton has been ahead in three months. Clinton also was seen as the stronger Democrat to beat John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, by 5 percent points, USA Today said. – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama by 7 percent in a new nationwide poll of party voters, USA Today reported.

Do the die-hard hillary supporters won't do anything to prevent him from becoming a president, even if they vote for McCain. Don't forget that only negigible proportion of voters vote in primaries - only the fundamentalist democrats. there is a much larger proportion of democrats that have not voted, and Obama is much better positioned to get them for the GE.
