I don't trust Clinton--we know without a doubt that she, like her husband, has lied to us. The reason? Political expediency. And doesn't the whole political family dynasty bother anyone? What next, will we be voting for Chelsea against the next generation of Bushes in 2013 or 2017? This cannot be what the founding fathers had in mind. If Clinton is the nominee, I won't be voting, and I'll likely leave the democratic party and register independent. Get used to the idea of McCain drooling his way through the next 4 years.

I live in Upstate, which she promised would see a revitalization when she became our Senator. What we've received is a loss of 400,000 jobs on her watch, rising crime rates, higher taxes, and a breakdown of our infrastructure. So much for promises, experience, and leadership. So far, she's failed at virtually every promise she made to us, N.Y. City not included. Thanks so much Hillary for picking my state to come to.

Americans need to learn that the President, regardless of party or policy, really has limited impact on the economic cycles during his term . Barring a catastrophe line 9/11 that disrupted so much of Wall Street and the airline industry, the mechanisms for rising and falling markets and industrial needs begin to form four to six years out. - meaning the impact is for his second or his successor's first term. Setting the stage for that second term (or his successor's first term) means the President needs to have a rational, conversational foreign policy that encourages free trade on equal terms AND a sound fiscal policy for government spending that prioritizes the country's needs for security, defense, health care, education, and other essential services and provides for those needs from all citizens equitably. Sadly, I don't see any of the three candidates left in either party having the latter, but at least there is some hope for Sen. Obama with the former. At least he's only said he would invade Pakistan to go after insurgents and terrorists, not obliterate a country from the face of the earth for having the temerity to develop nuclear weapons or occupy a country for 100 years because its own security forces can't hold it together. My hunch is that if we ever did invade Pakistan, we'd be there for a very long time, too. Who will I vote for in November? I might write in Sam Nunn and Arlen Spectre. At least those two tend to talk sense more often than not. I don't know what's worse: the blatant pandering done by Sen. Clinton in the past week (following Sen.

The biggest reason we are in such an economic quagmire is because of the billions of dollars flowing into the Iraq war. Don't forget who voted to take us there. Hint.. It was not Obama! Indiana voters, you are not thinking clearly!

Please let me know because the last time I checked Obama and Hiliary's plan are basically identical. Besides Healthcare, they both are pretty much offering the same thing. A Clinton vote is a wasted vote. DO THE MATH !!!! Obama doesn't need to win Indiana to have a great night. All he needs to do is win NC by 10 points and keep Indiana close then game is over.

It's becoming a toss up between who I dispise the most- the pollsters or the ones reporting the poll. What ever happened to a secret ballot in this country? Believe it or people died for that right. Yet again today, the media spits on their graves. Has Wolf called North Carolina or Indiana yet? What is he waiting for? 0% of precincts have reported. He's slipping I think.

No health, no economy. The 2 issues should be together. If you have a job with no health care, you are still looking at a possible financial disaster if you get sick or have an accident and can't afford your medical bills.

I believe the tie is broken, Mr. Obama - Indiana has spoken and they don't like you very much. This is getting interesting – Bring on Michigan and Florida!!!

Of the 63 people, Clinton got about 54% or .54 x 63 and .46 x 37 = 51 Of the 63 people, Obama got about 46% or .46 x 63 and .54 x 37 = 49 so a margin of 51% vs. 49% for Clinton - my analysis of this poll I did some calculations... if you say there are 100 people, then nearly 2/3 say economy is top issue or 63 people and 37 people or the other 1/3 said it isn't.

Of the 63 people,
Clinton got about 54% or .54 x 63 and .46 x 37 = 51

Of the 63 people,
Obama got about 46% or .46 x 63 and .54 x 37 = 49

What he doesn't tell everyone: He voted not once, not twice, but three times for a gas tax holiday in Illinois. If that isn't the ultimate hypocrisy, I can't see what else is! We're seeing buyer's remorse for sure. Obama is proving to be very dishonest, and it's apparent that he's done nothing with his political career except to constantly try and try to gain positions of higher power. He did in fact, state for the record time after time during his senate campaign that he would NOT run for president in 08. Liar. As far as voting, I cast my Indiana ballot today for Hillary. And even though I whole-heartedly support her, I will not heed her advice and vote for Obama should he take the nomination. Sorry, I'd rather have McCain. Obama slams Hillary's gas tax proposal.
