You would think that he was the one that was behind in the race. What we are witness to is what politics is all about. It is not for the weak of heart, it is a full contact sport. Agree or disagree. that is our right . But we do not have a right to tear any of the candidates down with personal attacks, and the stands for McCain, Hillary and Obama. A Irish Catholic, white, male, Or should it not be an American of Irish heritage who is Catholic and male. Until we figure it out we will forever be divided...........

Without her on the ticket, I seriously doubt Barack Obama will win the states he needs. It is Democratic political suicide to discount her strength. There are just too many people willing to jump to McCain without her on the ticket. This race between them is almost 50-50. If her people had put time and energy into organizing in the caucus states, she would be the leader right now. Many people say she is "old politics." Like the old politics that fought for and won Roe v. Wade for us and so many other democratic policies that benefit us today? If he loses the race against McCain, and Roe v. Wade becomes history, maybe many of these young people will understand why so many people are grateful to her generation. Hillary Clinton has a strong 49% of the vote.

The Clinton's didn't even start the Reverend Wright thing, but that won't stop the Obama nuts from pretending she did, and shamelessly calling her a race-baiter because she did, though she didn't start that discussion. Wright blames white people for "inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color," not to mention that the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 represent the WWII Japanese getting their comeuppance against us for the nukes of 1944... But if anyone mentions that Obama is incredibly close to this guy and his "liberation theology"/communist church, those people are race baiters. Well, people don't need to mention race with Obama, they can just call him a beyond the pale liberation theology left-wing, commie nut, and if the Republicans do this with any vigor, I don't see why they can't succeed.

Is this another instance where Obama has somebody fight his battles like he did when he had T-shirts made for his supporters denouncing Clinton? He really is weak. Why could he be commander-in-chief enough to say "no" himself? Why did Kennedy have to say "no" anyway?

The BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-??CLINTON equation would make American democracy a sham. Pliz give others a chance. Some people are complianing about Obama supporters; they should realise that OBAMA SUPPOTERS ARE WILLING TO SWITCH AND SUPPORT HILLARY IF SHE IS NOMINATED WHEREAS HER SUPPORTERS ARE NOT WILLING TO SWITCH!!!! What does this say about her suppoters? One word=RACISM. I love people but black people more because they simply don't have racism. The man is right.

Obama supporters, The latest about Sen. McCain. He and his party have the right to bash Sen. Obama, with his disgusting Ad. "Hamas Endorses Sen Obama" Yes, it is okay for McCain to deliberately make these statements, and attack Sen. Obama for what Hamas says. (it seems that Sen Obama is going to be critized for what everyone else says about him). In response to this disgusting ad, Sen. Obama says he thinks Sen. McCain "is losing his Bearings".... Now the Rep. are up in arms. This is Leiberman's remarks, speaking now with Wolf Blitzer. "You can say that you don't agree with what someone says but to say that they are losing there bearings is not right" Is this some kind of double standard????? Stop whining McCain, Lieberman, and all of your supporters, if you expect to attack Sen. Obama, for what everyone says about him, then you had better be prepared for some payback! There is a lot more to come! (If someone should say this about you I am sure that you would use much stronger words than this). To all Sen. Obama supporters,

If I were you Ted I would not run for re-election to the Senate I think the people of MA are finally going to reject you. Use you age for not running again you will not be elected. GO HILLARY!!!!

Kennedy brings to mind the Alexander Pope poem saying that hell has no fury like a woman scorned. To paraphrase, politics has not fury like a Kennedy being upset over a comment made by a Clinton supporter. I used to regard Sen Kennedy as a man who had redeemed himself from his many issues including the harm he did to the party in 1980 but he has now become once more a person who does not deserve praise. He is petty and should understand he really is the old politics. he should bow out now Sen. Kennedy brings to mind the Alexander Pope poem saying that hell has no fury like a woman scorned.
