They are both making many promises - some will be kept, some will not. The bottom line is - their messages are fairly similar. That is crucial, considering we are at risk of losing even more solidarity within our party. Whoever the Democratic candidate is, they will be a far better president for our country than McCain. His "people are imagining the financial crisis" comment is enough evidence for any reasonable American to vote for anyone but him. Go Hillary and Barack! I like both Hillary and Barack.

I'd like to know WHAT his plan is to stimulate the economy or offer relief to workers who can't afford gas to get to work or who will soon quit working because the cost of gas to deliver their products exceeds their income from the sale of those products?

Obama was right in his speech tonight when he said that in the end it comes down to our party. I, myself, am an Obama supporter but the truth is that when it comes down to it, I am a democrat first and foremost and this is getting out of hand. I hoped that after tonight something more would be determined but it looks like this will go on even longer. I know that even if Clinton ends up the candidate I will end up voting for her because I know what's good for my party. But how many of you will do the same?

But for the most part, Washington will remain the status quo. Oh to dream - that is probably why Obama gets so much support from young optimists, but the older population doesn't support him.

How do Hillary and Obama plan to fix these problems? Well we hate George Bush. How does that fix anything when Congress has the ultimate decision making power? And since the Democrats have taken over Congress, everything recognizable in the US economy has gotten worse. The job market, gas prices, and housing market have a recession flavor that could have been curved with Congressional response. The media doesn't talk about the war in Iraq anymore, wonder why that is? Maybe because it's stable? I'd like to see these candidates have a whiteboard and dry-erase marker during the upcoming debates, and instead of 'saying' they care - let's get some documentation and examples of the problem and specific examples on where to start. Stop talking the talk and start walking the walk!! Leave it to the liberals to get votes to 'say' they care. How do Hillary and Obama plan to fix these problems? Well we hate George Bush.

Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos IS significant. Reasonable estimates say about 11 out of every 100 voters in Indiana were registered Republicans. 6 of them voted for Clinton, 5 voted for Obama. 4 out of the 6 who voted for Clinton were self-identified “conservative” voters…probably not closet Clinton lovers…more likely Chaos voters. If you adjust the current vote count and take away those 4 spoiler votes from Clinton’s tally, the vote is tied at 48 to 48. Shouldn’t that change the narrative? The analysts are getting it wrong.
