The RNC launched a new Web site Friday.

(CNN) — The Republican National Committee is stepping up its efforts against Barack Obama, launching a new Web site Friday that solicits voters to question the Illinois senator on issues "he has failed to address or refused to answer."

The site is encouraging both text and video submissions via YouTube. It also features a Web video suggesting certain questions to ask, including, "Why, as an Illinois state Senator, did he vote 'present' over 130 times instead of 'yes' or 'no' on difficult issues like abortion, crime, and guns?" and "Why did he tell donors in San Francisco that the economy has driven small town voters to 'cling' to guns and religion?"

Wake Up   May 9th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Typical Republican politics to spend all kinds of time and money trying to scare us instead of telling us how they will make things better. I want my son to inherit a planet on the mend, not a planet at war and addicted to oil. The choice is easy, if you don't see it now you will learn the hard way. WAKE UP!

obamacrat   May 9th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

I can't believe they're playing the "gun clinging" and voting "present" cards. Is this they best they could come up with. I guess they'll wait till later on when McCain is behind badly in the polls to come out with the really scary stuff.

Michael   May 9th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Those Clinton supporters who are attacking Obama are just being totally unfair. On the issues that matter, Obama and Clinton agree, almost issue by issue. I was never thrilled she might be the candidate, but I would have supported her, because, guess what, it is not about her: it is about America. If you think McCain is best for America, fine, but you cannot have been supporting Clinton's views. If, instead, you agree with Clinton on the issues that matters, you will unite behind the nominee. To vote out of spite is so wrong, unpatriotic and destructive, it is painful. It is your right to vote for anyone, but I would hope everyone — McCain voters or Dem voters — would ask who is right on the issues. I would have voted Clinton for that reason, and it would never have been close. She is right on the economy and the way in Iraq, and on not a single real issue does she disagree with Obama.

I strongly believe Obama will be a great American President. I hope voters will keep their minds open, but do what you wish with your vote.

Dave Spencer   May 9th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

I am a Democrat who will not vote in 2008. Reasons: Obama is the least experienced of all candidates (1 year ACTUAL!!!!) Very rarely do you get a straight answer except "change." and what makes me the most angry is that if he were White where would he be in the race???? I will not vote for McCain. McCain is not the person I saw in 2000 when the idiot trashed him. He has changed to someone I don't know, not for the better

American Girl   May 9th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

The issue is not that he has not answered these questions.
The issue is that no matter what answer he gives people will not be satisified and the Republicans will spin his answers for anotther sound bite. . So, I say Democrats do not keep dignifying the Republican party by responding.
They can only argue with themselves but for so long….

A true leader never seeks consenus he mold concensus.

OBAMA '08

Deb   May 9th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

All of you who will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee – GO AHEAD. Shoot yourselves in the foot…another 4 years of George Bush politics. Way to go and change our government.

Obama 08

Mich   May 9th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Sen Obama will also win superdelegates from Iran and Hamas.

Or maybe they are his 8th cousins.

Pearl   May 9th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

ATTENTION SUPER DELEGATES:

SENATOR OBAMA VS. SENATOR CLINTON

INEXPERIENCE VS. EXPERIENCE

The highest position in the country should mandate an all inclusive
backround in experience and sound judgement.

I hope and trust your decision making will consider experience a
most important factor and not be mislead by the media and other politicians who wish to influence the delegates and the voting public.

Marlie:   May 9th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

The Republicans cannot do anything to Obama. Sure they will try and there will be some bad moments for Obama. We will never lose confidence in you Obama and your message of change. Go!Go!Go!

Ismael, TX   May 9th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

You democrats that are voting for McCain just because Barack is our nominee should be ashamed of yourselves. Go ahead and go support more war and loss of American lives. Go support the failed economic policies of the Bush Administration that McCain will continue. Go support a campaign that will look out for the interests of the wealthy and connected in America. You are pathetic and a disgrace to the candidate you once supported. She's smart and is going to support true change and a brighter future for our country. You make me sick.

Texans for Obama!

Edgar - Orlando, Florida   May 9th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

I will only vote for Obama, if Hillary is on the ticket nothing else.

WIll   May 9th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

It's on!!!! Let's get this party started.

jon   May 9th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

"So they're attacking Obama on a site that only republicans are going to look at. Feel free, morons."

Um, you just saw it on this site. Man, you Obama peeps are dense. lol

hillary for the win.

franco   May 9th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Obama??? what has he done to show he can lead? Answer: NOTHING!

American Girl   May 9th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Barack Obama – The Leader our Nation Deserves

Barack Stand Tall and Remember –
A man can't ride you unless your back is bent. – MLK

Democratic Party Unite –
Hillary and Obama Supporters Unite, the Republicans can not get back in office!

Stop the hate language among ourselves and unite!

Lene'   May 9th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Boy Oh boy are the Hillary supporters are using hard tactics to get their way.. GROW UP!!!

I guess your too stupid and too spiteful for your own good. You'd rather have another 4 years of Bush if you don't get your way? That really doesn't make any sense now does it?

John   May 9th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

NickNas- Why will this backfire? If a bill that you supported had earmarks you didn't like wouldn't you vote no? You opposed them enough not to vote for the bill, but its fine if they go through as long as your name isn't attached to it. That's some great leadership!!! I would hope you would vote against it and tell them to remove the earmarks if they wanted your vote. Every bill he gets as president will have attachments with it. Is he simply going to let them all go through so he doesn't look bad? I don't want a president who is going to simply be "present".

KB   May 9th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Evidence that the human race is doomed to destroy itself.

Allen Friedman--- Henderson, Nevada   May 9th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

This is for Laura and any other person that thinks that Hillary is the only one that they can vote for. The two candidates on the Democratic side share most of the same policies on the major issues that face this nation and for anyone to say that they will not vote for the Democrat because of gender or color of skin or how they were treated by the other candidate inorder to vote for McCain and his policies are simpley ignorant!

ok   May 9th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

OPEN LETTER TO THE REPUBLICANS!
You have done this before it did not work. Don Cazayoux won a hard-fought race in Louisiana no matter your effort to tie him to Obama which actually help him to win. When are you going to learn?
You got away with the SwiftBoating 4 years ago. Not this time. The DEMOCRATS are ready for you this time.

Sensible in Baltimore   May 9th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Who here is Republican and can honestly say that they are happy with the state of America today? Shame on Bush for dupping voters into voting for him in 2000. Not to mention the convenient recount fiasco in Florida. Shame on YOU if you voted for Bush in 2004! He and his administration are arguably the worse in the history of American Presidents.

We are not safer, there were no WMDs in Iraq, we have lost thousands of brave men and women in Iraq unnecessarily although your boy claimed "Mission Accomplished" several years ago and we're spending billions of dollars in Iraq that we do not have which consequently continues to deteriorate our economy. If for one second you believe that McCain wont be more of the same then it's about time that you wake up from your hypnosis!

The failed policies of Bush have made the obvious choice for CHANGE in the upcoming election to be Obama. I honestly believe that it is virtually impossible to do worse than Bush has for the past 7 years regardless of Obama's "lack of experience".

Nancy   May 9th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Obama supporters are small minded ignorant people. If Obama cared about Americans he would make sure the Americans in FL and Michigan would be counted. He is happy to alienate Americans, can't be trusted.

Dave in Atlanta   May 9th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

I can't wait for this!

Obama has detailed out his proposals very specifically on his website, and he is very good at defending his positions against candidates who differ with him. Look how he hung Hillary out to dry over the gas tax holiday thing. Bring em' on. This is the part of the race I have been waiting for!

joto   May 9th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

I agree with Kevin's analysis:

If these are the issues, the Republicans must be missing something out there LOL.

Brian   May 9th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

Negative.. Negative.. Negative…. who buys this stuff?

Churchill   May 9th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Why don't they devote the site to explaining to the American people what they have achieved in the past Eight years and what they intend to achieve in the coming FOUR years?

Sounds like the move of a desperate bunch.

Rich   May 9th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

I live overseas (Italy) and I am an Independent. I support Obama but would happily vote for Clinton if she were nominated. McCain represents what the world has seen for the last 8 years and wants an end to. It is not uncommon over here to here the news refer to the Presidential race as between Obama and Clinton. With the world against McCain I guess he feels desperate and is trying to keep old news new. I am waiting to here about the Rev. Wright again. By the way, when the name Wright is on the ballot, I will consider his comments important.

Fabian Blache III   May 9th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Considering the fact that I am a Democrat and don't spend my time ingesting RNC rehtoric, what effect do they think this is going to have?

There aren't eough Republicans registered to vote to make up the difference considering the Democratic voter turnout this election season.

Shane M from Texas   May 9th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Ok- let's show a little of our collective intelligence and stop insulting it. I'm still undecided, but I guess I'm the only person to call it as it is… If Hillary had the ability to raise as much money as Obama and more, then there would be no talk about "outspending" on ads and such. The fact that She cannot raise even close to the amount of money that Obama has should be a clear sign of her failure in this race. There are strict limits on private donations in public election campaigns. More money ALWAYS equals more popular support when you break down the numbers. To be fair, Hillary is a strong candidate, who has many points that Obama cannot compete with. The truth is, Americans want change, they want it now, and they want the people they elect to stop insulting their intelligence and values. For that to happen, the electorate must cease trying to feed the public doctored numbers and adjusted figures.

America has spoken: We are tired of the Bushes and Clintons; We are tired of the various, pointless Wars; and we are fed with being fed BS by candidates and incumbents from all parties that feed us whatever they can in order to further their personal careers.

Barack Obama is right: Elected officials running for office should be focused on why they should be elected, not because their "time, service, and dedication" entitles them to it.

Dave from VA   May 9th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

The RNC are idoits and if we too are then we all need to go to hell

KDH   May 9th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Why is asking a candidate about his past performance/positions considered "going negative"? Politicians need to be called on the carpet whether they are Dem or Rep.

GiveMeABreak   May 9th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

I hope people post questions of this sort (se below). If enough people do, then the site will probably need to be closed (or we'll take it over)! My questions for Obama: "Why are you always right about every major issue facing the country? As two examples, you thought the war in Iraq was a bad idea, and you felt that the Bush tax cuts (which disproportionately helped the richest Americans) was foolish, especially in a time of war. You must have great judgment or you've sold your soul to the Devil. Which is it, buddy? We Republicans are scared of you because you look like the people we put in front of cameras at our conventions but you actually want to make decisions behind the scenes; this should clearly remain in the hands of old white guys like McSame. How can we possibly stop you from turning this country around? Will our choice of John McSame be enough?"

Canadian   May 9th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Typical Republician old style politics.

It won't work this time.

no Obama   May 9th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

If Obama is the nominee we will vote McCain!

tidho   May 9th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

That's a great idea. There are questioned I'd like asked of the candidates (not just Obama) too.

The two examples are just silly though. The clinging/bitter comment has been discussed at nausia. The present votes are completely understandable to anyone that was willing to listen to his answer.

Rather than focus on issues of distraction like that why not ask legitimate policy questions like…
What motive will companies have to keep paying healthcare for their premiums if Universal coverage is adopted? or…
The midwest manufacturing sector has been hardest hit my mistakes like NAFTA, given that you recognize NAFTA as a mistake will you be targeting those areas in your jobs programs.

Tough questions don't have to be about distraction issues.

Andrew   May 9th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Ha! People see through this! No one wants a 3rd term McBush! As the first commentator said, these have already been addressed – moving on. Let's have a real debate between Obama and McCain and talk about ALL of the issues to see how they both stand, and let voters make the decision.

Joe   May 9th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

I am a republican, yet I will vote for Clinton given the opportunity in the Fall. Obama is wishy-washy and backs away from patriotic questions. Do we want this man in the White House? We want a person who knows how to lead; not a rich man who is able to out spend and still has not won! If the Democrats want to win, they need to nominate Hillary. More Republicans will vote for her than for Obama. Wait and see!

Mar   May 9th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

I too will turn Republican if this farce with Obama continues. I have no idea what these super delegates are thinking, idiots as they are. They all talk about Hillary detroying the DNC, well, looks like to me that they are destroying it themselves.
What a sad time for this country. I will vote republican or independent.

NEVER obama   May 9th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Jr   May 9th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Any Black person running coulda been the first Black president. Its as simple as that lol 92% of the black vote goes to obama and 50% of white goes to Hillary. lol Seriously it's so obvious that people are trying to make informed decisions when all the "black people" can do is vote for the "Black man" because this is a civil rights movement still……Seriously get over it, no ones racist but those that keep bringing up the issue, Blacks need to stop being racists and start making informed decisions.

b black   May 9th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

another question? why do you want to kill your people in your 100 year war?

cathi   May 9th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

So the question is, why is CNN providing free advertising for this smear site? This, at the same time that they are distracting voters with played-up conflicts between Hillary and Barack as an excuse NOT to cover the Republican candidate for president. He's getting away with murder while we're still talking about lapel pins.

And they say the media is biased by liberals.

pete   May 9th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

I would like to ask how you republicans sleep at night with your tax cuts for the rich and with having the blood of thousands of soldiers on your hands. The best canidate you could come up with is a man who looks like the walking dead? McCain looks like a zombie hes old and applying for a job that will age him fasters then he could imagine. I saw a video of him carrying pizzas to firemen he looked like those were the heaviest pizzas in the world. I bet the boxes were empty. I don't want this man taking any calls at 3 am…Well unless he takes his geritol first.

Susan   May 9th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

We are for Hillary.

We do feel Obama lacks experience.

We are still hoping Hillary wins the nominee!

NEVER obama   May 9th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Good for the RNC. I would vote for a dead snake before I would vote for the liar and UNFIT obama.

Good luck

White middle-aged woman for Obama !   May 9th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

It comes down to this : WE DO NOT WANT ANOTHER 4-8 YEARS OF BUSH POLICIES !! The American people are tired of being lead down that path and the Republicans know they just don't stand a chance in Nov. Normally I would vote republican, but not this time I'm sick of it.
You people must really be afraid of Sen. Obama if you're gonna start with these tactics.
I'm for Obama, and can't wait to see him sworn in as President.

Blank   May 9th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Well, the fact is that he has answered every question that he has been asked. People just ignore it for some reason. Voting present is customary for votes whose results are already known. Whether or not you agree with what he said, he has already explained what he was trying to say with his bitter comment. His positions on issues are also very clear if you actually look them up. Like all the candidates, there's a section on his website that list all his stances.

True This   May 9th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

The Republicans sure are slow to catch up. He answered these questions months ago! Really funny how they're recycling old news with new headlines. Move on!

rice, bryan   May 9th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

if you can't win with logic, scare them to death. if you can't win with the issues that concern this country, scare them into voting for you. hey if it worked for bush it will work for mcbush.

"uneducated bitter blue collar" American from a big state   May 9th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

This is good for the Obama team because once the Republicans start with their dirty game, it will unite the Democrats. Sweet, they should step up their game. MCFart is toast.

We need such "low level scum" campaign tactics to rekindle the Democratic patriotism that Billary have smothered over the past nomination race.

Travis   May 9th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Those questions have all been asked and answered repeatedly . . . next.

Elisabeth   May 9th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Obamas arrogans is not a quality regarding foreign politics. His insulting style and supercilious smile will make foreign leaders hesitate and distrust his abilities and intentions. Sorry for my bad English!

Soba, Clifton, NJ   May 9th, 2008 3:01 pm ET

There are two reasons why McCain has this nomination:

1. People feel bad that he didnt get the nomination in 2000, becuase the Bush WRONGLY smeared him badly.

2. They know he CAN NOT win, so this will leave the door open for jeb bush in 2012.

AKRON, OHIO OBOMA SUPPORTER   May 9th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

McCain be the nice elderly man you say you are stop this your temper will fail you if attacks came your way wortd to the wise

EC   May 9th, 2008 3:00 pm ET

Sen. McCain is in for a whole lot of Whip ARSE come November. Sen. Obama is going to eat him alive!!! Sen. McCain has not even begun to be vetted in any shape or form. I can't wait to see him when the REAL PRESSURE is in his FACE!!!

Don't make the same mistake Sen. Clinton did by under-estimating Sen. Obama. Like my momma would say "don't let my nice smile fool you, I can turn you inside out before you even blink".

Sen. McCain and his sidekick Joe Lieberman is in for a rude awakening. They have NO IDEA what they are in for come November. He's been lucky that Sen. Lieberman has been "cleaning up" after him thus far. Those days will soon be a reality for him. He's going to be cleaning up alright…and it won't be pretty.

Johannes   May 9th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Shame on you RNC! How low! How can Obama claim to love this country if he doesn't support its policies? What a stupid question! The slavery and segregation of the past were our policies…. must we love such injustice to avoid being accused of being "unpatriotic". get a grip. Obama all the way!

Democrat in Des Moines   May 9th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Agree Mike – the negative comments about her have made me "bitter" towards the Obama camp where I could have been happy with him at one time. Not just them, but how he dodges the issues out there where Hillary actually provides solutions – not all great ones but at least she is engaged with our country.

Time to kick him where it counts. He will not be president – he is not ready.

Danny   May 9th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Let's also get this election in perspective. Have you looked at the numbers of people who've voted for Obama? Not EVEN counting Hillary's votes, he still outnumbers McCain, right? Why are people thinking that this ISN'T going to be a landslide, and why the hell do we care about getting Hillary's votes? This election is a done deal already and all we have to do is enjoy the summer! A NEW AGE IS FINALLY UPON US! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND IT'S PEOPLE FOR GETTING THROUGH THE WORST PRESIDENCY EVER!!

LOL   May 9th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

I can't wait for the general election.

For every negative ad that McSame attacks Obama with, he will be hit with 4 from the Obama Nation machine.

Sharon Minnesota   May 9th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

JOHN LOOK AT HILLARY VERY CLOSLEY SHE WOULD MAKE A GREAT VP. ASK HER PLEASE.

I had that very thought too. Two moderate mavericks on the Grand Old Party's ticket. Yeah!! Then we have a real team that can win in November. Comon Hillary defect, you can do it. The Dem's had no respect for you after a lifetime of service to their party.

The party's over for the democrats. Too many of those new and nasty types invading.

TIMBER   May 9th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

They are SO happy Obama might get the nomination, they will fry him. Pity, I can't take 4 more years of republicans.

Obama v McCain   May 9th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

OK.let me break this San Fran bitter-gate thing down for the simple minded: Catholics people.. when you go to the polls are you going to vote for an atheist? No.. you tend to vote for Catholics or people who respect catholic views. Hence you vote yor religion
Proud NRA card carriers? When you go to the polls.. the person who says he's/she's not behind you and want to take your gun rights away isnt going to get your vote. Hence you vote based on your guns.
Blue collared workers? when your job outs you for a foreigner because the wages are cheaper and they dont push for Unions…when you go to the polls you wont vote for ANYONE looking to give illegal aliens an easier way(hence voting against someone who's not like you)..if you arnt catching the point by now.. you wont..he said that people tend to "cling" to religion, guns blah blah blah…if he had not used "cling" and said vote..you would have found another reason to hate him.. But get this straight.. Rev Wright, Will Aires, Bitter-gate will not bring him down.. if this is all they've got then
BRING IT ON!

Mary - Independent   May 9th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

The Republicans and Democrats need to stop this continuous fighting about the candidates. It is childish, non-productive and does not provide benefit to the American people. So far, we still remain a democracy and still maintain a constitution in America and we still have rights to vote for whoever we want. If you complainers can't get over this and are so unhappy, move to Siberia!

ferris_b   May 9th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Just in time to rally all of us democrats together…. Thanks!

Oregon For Obama!

Will from Oxford   May 9th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Obama is not a leader, just a good speaker. He will fail. even if he is elected, he will fail. That's at least what we over here in the UK think. A great deal of think this.

UNITED WE FAIL   May 9th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Isn't this the same type of smear tactic that HRC ran in her campaign? Shows you how out of touch the RNC is. They are using a playbook against Obama that has proven to not work! But, I guess the RNC is used to things not working, like our economy!!

Phil-Little Rock   May 9th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Now comes the rough stuff, Sen. Obama. Although I hate it, I think it was good that Barack Obama got the whole house thrown at him by Hillary, he'll know to be ready for the whole neighborhood from the Republicans.

BTW, isn't this old news, Republicans? Why don't you go make up some lies with that overpaid blowhard Rush LImbaugh, like the lies about Saddam having WMDs??

Max in San Diego   May 9th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Not this time–these typically 'bedrock' Republican election strategies will fall into the ever growing sink-hole of the Economy, Iraq, Health Care…

F Franklin, Little Rock Ar   May 9th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

So called Democrats that refuse to vote for Obama are foolish and truly have no democratic values. You made up you mind 4 years ago that Hillary Clinton was going to be the dem. nom. and now that somebody with new shows to be a stronger, smarter candidate, you won't listen to his message. Vote Mccain in November, you'll probably be laid off work soon after.

ericajane   May 9th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Ah, the politics of hate and fear. Thank goodness Barack Obama offers us a much needed break from this. He is the one we've been waiting for. The RNC is showing us exactly what they are made of.

noah   May 9th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Debby

Yes and the RNC forgot the most important question why hasn't he gone to Iraq yet to see whats going on since he says he has better foreign policy experience than McCain.

I have seen statements like this a few times. He has gone to Iraq, he wrote about the experience in his book. You can find the dates he was there as well and if you would like I am sure you can verify the trip fairly easily. He also talks about a trip he took to the former soviet block countries when he discusses our nations policy to provide funding for the securing of biological and chemical weapons. I believe the policy was created by a Republican member of congress and turned out to be a great idea. Very interesting read.

Brian   May 9th, 2008 2:56 pm ET

This is pathetic…MAN are they stretching…this is so stupid. I think they realize they have no chance so they're reaching!

Obama ... Is for what???   May 9th, 2008 2:56 pm ET

Obama has never stood for anything. What is his past record??? He doesn't answer the tough questions, and he refuses to explain his position on the issues that matter. He continues to deny invitations to debates (and he will continue to do so in the General Election).
He does have persona. Maybe he should go into advertising or info-mercials.
McCain is about the same without the persona.

mike   May 9th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Obama's supporters keep making negative comments on Hillary and we will never unite. do you think Obama will win the white house with only 52% of the democratic vote…not. This has nothing to do with Hillary.

Kevin   May 9th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Those are the "issues" the people of the RNC are concerned about? That's weak.

Dylan   May 9th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

hahaha this is downright. pathetic he has already answer those questions repeatedly.

it's not about getting the answers for the RNC, its's about repeating the questions so many times that ignorant people create their own answers to them.

the RNC "preying on the ignorant since before you were born!"

Hey Obama supporters, this has nothing to do with Hillary. Keep it up and we will never unite and loose again in November, stop being so anti Hillary. Obama needs all the help he can, you think he will win with only his supporters…I think not.

Peace   May 9th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

The RNC are nothing but bunch of racist who does not want Obama to be the president.They rather keep this country in the past if not 72 years behind evolution.Sorry,even 3rd ward countries are very current.It is about time you get over your hatred for black people.He has the best positive attitude and out looks to bring haters/blacks/mexicans/KKK and even the acient people like mcain together.Deal with it

Aces full of Kings   May 9th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Just shows you how out of touch the Republicans are. Reading yesterday's news. Asked and answered! What's the matter, you can't find your bearings? No honor in the McCain camp.

Mario O'dwyer   May 9th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

NO NO NO….YOU GUYS ARE PLAYING IT OUR WAY THIS TIME NO MORE PHONEY POLITICS…..WE ARE ASKING YOU THE QUESTIONS:

1) WHY WON'T REPUBLICANS APOLOGIZE FOR THE 8 YEARS OF HELL THEY PUT THIS COUNTRY THROUGH WITH AN AIRHEAD LIKE BUSH IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

2) WHY DID JOHN MCCAIN NOT REJECT THE SUPPORT OF HIS OBVIOUSLY HATEFUL PASTOR THAT SAID AMERICA DESRVED 911 AND KATRINA AND IT WAS GODS WILL TO PAY AMERICA BACK?

3) WHAT SHOULD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MAKE OF YOUR REFUSAL TO HONOR MARTIN LUTHER KING SOMEONE WHO FAUGHT FOR CIVIL LIBERTIES FOR ALL RACES, GENDER AND RELIGION?

4A) HOW DO YOU EXPECT US CONTINUE TO SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN IRAQ WHEN WE HAVE A CRUMBLING ECONOMY?

4B) HOW DO YOU WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE OVER 4000 AMERICANS WE SENT TO DIE OVER A LIE..WMDS?

5) HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO PEOPLE WHO ASK YOU WHY YOU THINK THE BEST FISCAL POLICY IS TO HAVE NONE. JUST SIT AND WATCH?

6) HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU WANT TO FLIP FLOP ON WHETHER GIVING TAX BREAKS TO THE WEALTHY DURING A WAR IS RESPONSIBLE OR OTHERWHISE?

7) HOW DO YOU PROPOSE WE PAY FOR THE GAS TAX HOLIDAY YOU PROPOSED?

8) HOW DO YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO RUN AN HONEST AND RESPECTABLE CAMPAIGN ONE DAY AND THEN TURN AROUND AND USE HAMAS ENDORSING YOUR OPPONENT AS A TACTIC?

9) HOW CAN YOU CLAIM TO BE IN TOUCH WITH WORKING AMERICANS WHEN YOUR WIFE IS WORTH OVER 100mILLION DOLLARS AND YOU FLY AROUND IN HER COMPANY JET?

10) WHEN ARE REPUBLICANS GOING TO LEARN THAT WE AS AMERICANS ARE OUR BROTHERS KEEPERS AND OUR VALUES REVOLVE AROUND THAT NOTION?

Canadian Point of View   May 9th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Watching this Democratic race for the nomination closely from Canada, It's hard not to question wether Americans are as dumb as the stereotype would label them. Clearly they are not and I don't believe that but how could Clinton supporters vote for McCain over Obama? Their platforms are totally different. This makes one wonder what reasons are they supporting Clinton? Is it possibly race or gender? Her core supporters are uneducated whites in rural areas. Maybe if they were somewhat educated they would be less ignorant and see that voting for McCain is going against what Clinton stands for.

I do not think Clinton should be forced out, but rather leave on her own will. I just hope that if Obama is the nominee, she will whole heartedly support him and rally behind him and not try to start her own party or something destructive along those lines. I initially thought she damaged his campaign, but he proved to be strong and weathered the criticism and carried on to being well vetted.

In my closing, I sincerly hope, whom ever the nominee is, Democrats will rally behind them and defeat McCain. Even in Canada, we suffer from Bush.

honkey white guy from cali   May 9th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Hey either way This is going to be the largest landslide victory in November that the USA has ever seen! for once the people are truly starting to wake up and have decided that it is time to change and reform this great nation and take it true place in the world community. not as a dictating bully! but as the beacon of peace, hope and prosperity that it was originally founded on!

The Republicans so far have one web site that at best spins lie after lie. they are good at those! By contrast the Obama campaign have nearly one million volunteers getting underway with this voter registration drive. There are so many people in this country that have never voted because they do not believe there voice will be heard and more and more as people see this campaign is by the people for the people! We will unite and take back are great nation and send these special interest groups corp American lobbyist back from were they came! I hope they put them in prison were they belong!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Scott - GA.   May 9th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

Politics as usual….lol

Obama has set his campaign up perfectly for attacks.

Everything they say will be taken with a grain of salt if it is not factual. It's just gonna bounce right off of him.

America is not going for politics as usual this year.

Repub's going down, and i can't wait till Senator Hillary joins the fight against them because she is ferocious, with Bill too, they don't stand a chance.

Eric   May 9th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

I'm a Hillary Supporter and I've said from the start that I never thought Barack Obama was experienced enough to run the country and I still don't. I haven't decided who I will vote for if Hillary is not the nominee. I believe the only way I'll vote for Obama is if Hillary is on the ticket.

Mike   May 9th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

I support Hillary and I will never vote for Obama. Obama is sold out to defense contractors, oil companies and drug companies as to why they have been giving big bucks to all his campaigns. He is Bush 2.0 and the kool-aid drinkers are ignoring these facts.

Marie in California   May 9th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

As a disgusted Democrat….I say, Good going, RNC! Where do I send my money to help you along?

Obama has left a LOT of questions unanswered….and I can only surmise he simply doesn't want to answer them. All he has going for him is……a lovely smile, pretty words, and the Audacity of Hype. Can't run a country on that!

Heather   May 9th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

Haha. The only option they have is to rehash things that have been asked, answered, and overcome in the minds of sensible people. Their best hope is that something else comes out on Barack, because if there's one thing great about this drawn-out primary, it's that whatever they can say about him now is old, old news.

Susan, San Francisco, CA   May 9th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

To the guys who said: They're running scared! They KNOW that Barak Obama will win the Presidency in a landslide!!

I think you're delusional. He'll probably win a handful of states in general election. Wake up, the majority of Americans don't want him. Dems are dreaming.

ted   May 9th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Unfortunately, in spite of all of the Obamunist propaganda, The republicans will win the election in '08. they will smash Obama to sawdust. All those millions of dollars wasted because idealists and elitists chose a wet-behind-the ears politician rather than a tried and true candidate whose been out in the open (sniper fire or not) for 16 years.

Oh well. Four more years – maybe we can get it right then.

So, the roasting has finally begun, and its about time. Bring It. We are going to pound Grandpa McCain so far into the ground, he won't have time to buy a crypt. Anyone thinking of voting for McCain is voting against their own interest. Enjoy the weak dollar, trillion debt charged on a chinese card, 4,000 dead soldiers and counting and rising gas prices, not mention the 100 years in Iraq.

FACT not FEAR: You vote for McCain because you are a republican. You forgot McCain wants to bomb, bomb. While John McCain, the V.P. and their families are hiding safely in bunkers, you have no bunker for your family, no gas mask and the masking tape you were told to use around your doors isn't working. Now, what I'm I suppose to do? Vote Democrat.

Michele, Oregon   May 9th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Without having seen it yet, am sure it is what we all expect. Obama has my vote, not because I agree with him on all fronts, but he has put forth calm, thoughtful, insightful, tangible responses/solutions to the problems of the day.
I am not pro-choice in regards to abortion or embryonic stem cell research, and in 2000 changed my democratic affiliation to republican on this very issue of silent genocide, but feel very betrayed on all other fronts by the republican party. And I think that as long as the pro-life movement is attached to the republican party it will never find traction here in the U.S. It is a schizophrenic choice when the republicans posture for war, continually have economic policies that patronize the poor and offer tax breaks primarily for big corporations and those in high-income brackets, are unwilling to converse with anyone except for allies, have "ship 'em all back" (Romney) mentalities re immigrants, put our children's future in hock to nations such as China which have a one child rule and where there was/is widespread abortions (especially for female children) and a nation which ignores human rights…. How about the republicans hideous record on the environment, their foreign policy which escalates anti-american sentiment making peace more difficult, etc., etc., etc.
No! Enough of the republicans dualities, which are more blatant as they tout themselves to be pro-lifers.

Come on John Mc Cain!!! Get your bearings right!

The Oracle   May 9th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Heres my take on this article, a lot of people are hurt. I can understand, a lot of people are scared of what they don't know. Some are "bitter"(Lol) that Obama is going to win and they're respective candidate isn't. Well, life isn't fair. But I'd hope so many of you would show yourself to be intelligent human beings and not get in the gutter. But as I've seen, most supporters take on the mentality of those they support. As far as the ageism, those arguments make me sick, there is none. People are just trying to find little BS to make him look bad because through issues and personality they can't. As far as the HRC supporters saying they'll go to McCain, I've got 2 points. 1st, if you really would do that, then you are not supporting HRC for her policies. You're supporting her because she is a woman, or because she Billy's wife. I say this because she and Obama are 95% the same on issues. So if you will cut off your nose 2 spite your face…..So be it. It's YOUR face. If through vindictiveness you vote against your interests you will have done more to prove you are mostly "Uneducated voters" more than any pundit or candidate ever could…..

For those who continue to read that Sen. McCain is a warmonger or who are bombarded by DNC ads distorting his "100 years" remarks at a townhall meeting, the following are the words of Sen. Joe Biden in a recent television interview about his friend John McCain: My fellow Democrats may not like to hear me say this, but John hates war and he would do everything he could to get us out of Iraq."

THER IS SOME KIND OF CONSPERICY HERE. why does a 1st term sentor run for the presidency when he hasent even got his feet wet in the sent. who is behind this. AN WHY. where all you washington insiders really that afraid of mrs. clinton, or you just stupid, she has done more for the demacratic the any other person has . obama hasent done anything for this country, his wife isnt proud of are nation. so whats up with this, who behind this. im afraid we will find out after the election. an god help us i think its a long ride back home. SHAME ON YOU DNC YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED THIS.

eyes   May 9th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

When your candidate is a "ghost from Christmas past", you have to do everything you can to diminish the other candidate to promote your own. These are old tactics and old politics.

Just look at Obama and McCain side by side and compare the energy.
Go Obama – we need you and we need change. God protect you thru these rough times.

Laura   May 9th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

I have been a DNC supporter for my entire life but after the disloyalty show towards Hillary Clinton and the ignorance of what type of person or candidate Obama really is I refuse to vote for him.

McCain you have my vote and support!!!!!

Ian   May 9th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

It's about time someone questioned him on the issues.

Has the man had one, original thought of his own during this entire campaign?

Whenever he hasn't just cut-and-paste someone else's policy positions or read a canned speech, we've received great revelations like:

He can't wait to sit down with the "president" of Canada.

"I can't abandon Reverend Wright. Oh wait, yes I can."

His grandmother is a "typical white person." (I'm hoping he'll elaborate on that point because if his grandmother, who helped raise a bi-racial child, is a "typical white person," than surely every other white person in America must be a rabid racist.)

Small town America turns to guns and religion out of bitterness and not because they actually believe in the Second Amendment and have faith in God.

We probably shouldn't bring these things up, though. While it's perfectly okay for him to take cheap shots at the Clintons (calling Bill Clinton a racist and HIllary a panderer) or McCain (taking his "100-year presence" comment completely out of context or suggesting he doesn't know the difference between Shia and Sunni), if anybody calls Obama to task for his mistakes, he's a victim of dirty politics.

Stacy   May 9th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

Where is McCain's integrity in this?

It figures for the GOP.

Pepou   May 9th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

Roger   May 9th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Can't wait until we can ask McCain about his hypocrisy with McCain-Feingold, his relationship with Hagy, his wife's tax info (remember the outcry for Kerry's wife to release hers), his 100 year plan for Iraq, why he doesn't know the difference between Shiite and Sunni, his comment about not knowing as much as he should on economics, and every other item that he has flip flopped on.

TIME TO UNITE   May 9th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

To all my fellow democrats,
I am and will always be a Hillary Clinton Supporter.. Her chances are realistically diminshing. I am a realist. It's a sad turn of events. But what I will fail to do is to allow another 4 years of Bush's policies to plague MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. It's time to turn our attention on McINSANE and destroy the Republican party once and for all. Let us UNITE NOW and put an end to thousands dead; put an end to economic failures; put an end to a war for oil. LET US TROUNCE THEM!!!

seyi   May 9th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Thats why we have a site that lists things younger than McCain. We will counter, with why does he call himself an elitist when his wife is worth millions and he flew on her plane to campign? Why does he feel that being locked up for 5 years (which we appreiciate) qualify him to be commandr in chief. Why was he not for the Bush tax cuts initially and for them now? based on what reports has the economy improved, since that's hi sthought process. Its over Mickey mack… Over. You lost the presidency, when Hillary lost the nomination

Fear and Low self-esteem are often at the roots of abusive behaviors and comments…in order to make myself look good in public I have to make you look bad, stupid, inept, etc. I guess the Republican party is starting politics as usual early this year. This would be why I am not now, nor have ever been, nor ever will be a Republican.

Obama is going to get slaughtered by the Rep. Maybe that will get that smug, arogant look off of his face.

——

No offense to anyone, but people with self esteem issues are always attacking someone for being arrogant or "smug". If Obama was fat and ugly, he'd probably win the election hands down.

It's a baseless complaint. Can we at least pretend to have reason not to like the candidates that we hate?

jonny   May 9th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Obama supporters should just flood the site with questions to McCain. Tho my guess is they will remove all comments that arent negatives for Obama.

I cannot wait to see this general election season get started. This is going to be good. Obama was being way too nice too Hillary, probably because she will get on TV and start crying at the drop of a dime. I bet Obama's composure is going to piss McCain off. I can't wait to see them in a debate when John McCains face is all red and Obama is looking as cool as a fan on high.

Margeaux, "Obama is going to get slaughtered … . Maybe that will get that smug, arogant look off of his face." –is pretty much what the Clinton camp said about him. Instead of prognosticating, how about raising issues. Paris, "And as soon as you question him they label you as racist." Of course you're not a racist for questioning a candidate. Give the folks in this thread to know what 20 questions you have — perhaps they can answer them for you. If the USA is going to make it through the 21st century, we need less attack and more dialogue.

Wayne   May 9th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

The GOP is starting to sling the mud now, because that's all they have. Same old hash re-hashed……

They want people focused on the minutia in order to deflect attention away from the FACTS. And that facts all show that this country is seriously hurting after two terms of Bush mismanagement.

Looks like it's shaping up for an Obama landslide in the fall……

Inevitable   May 9th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

READ THIS DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quoted by Concern Democrats "Those democrats that feel the need to support McCain or not vote to express their anger/hate/revenge are only hurting themselves. If Obama loses, he'll go back to the senate and he'll be alright. However, will you be OK with a failing economy, a continue war in Iraq, health care unresolved, conservative justices, etc…"

LETS ALL UNITE & STOP THIS BITTERNESS ….!!!!

Venus   May 9th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

Here we come you dirty Repubs!

It's OK. The DNC will take care of the Repubs until this primary is over!

Oh – wait! I think Obama can really start to go after Mc Cain now!

So……………… the fight is on!

OK. Obama – your day is now! You are in Oregon today so – let's turn our focus on Mc Cain and the dirty Repibs!

proud republicans???   May 9th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

proud of what exactly? Sorry. no more MCSame. No more bush. No more idiots ruining this country.

D.Kimbro OHIO   May 9th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

I guess we know now who the RNC sees as it's biggest threat..Bring it on!!!!!

KC   May 9th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Obviously the Republicans have not been paying attention. NikNas is correct. they did a story on why many people Vote Present. it is a stall tactic so that the bill can be renegotiated. and like Nik says, people try to tack things on that are not necessary. so if you vote yes on something. they will come back to you and say . "You voted for what?" or " why did you vote No for that?" when the reason is, it is never the first part of the bill that you disagree with it is all the other stuff that they tack on, not only that it shows that He actuall took the time out to read the crap that was being proposed. sound like something some people should do here. The funny thing about it CNN were the once that did the story on why people Vote Present.

Prejudiced White Guy From WI   May 9th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Oh, let's see the RNC ask more stupid questions like, "yes or no: have you stopped beating your wife?"

The RNC is soooo lucky that so many people are driven by anger and ego to fall for their crap. The GOP has little to offer the average American besides rehtoric, empty promises and a card that entitles you to beat your chest, "I am American, Hear Me Roar!"

Prejudiced White Guy Proud to Support Obama!!

SB   May 9th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

If Obama has answers for all the questions then it is no big deal.

But there is the question, can he answer truthfully

Oregon   May 9th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

The DNC is more perfect than even Jesus makes no mistakes. Get a life DNC I know that you are scare for McCain to face Barack. The DNC will say or do anything like Hillary to trash Barack.
Tax gas holiday a big failure; stop mask the problems to get votes like Bill Clinton only goes to church when he need superdelagates votes. He'll watch football with you go to church with you when he needs your votes. Jesus told the group the one that think he perfect throw the first stone, they all walked away because none of them were perfect. I far as I am concern Bill is not perfect. Do you remember Monica Lowinsky America. Do you remember that Hillary was under fire in Bosnia and that was a lie America. John McCain does not understand the economy himself and he has a temper. Mike Huckabee is the one that need that internship he was talking about because Barack compaign is far more successful than his was period. Give cesar what is for Cesar; Barack is capable to be one of our best president and I do not understand why people refuse to accept the fact. The math will not work for Hillary to come on top it is impossible.

Andy J, NY   May 9th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

I think its funny how hateful and naive so many liberals are.

You act as if Republicans are the only evil politicians. Democrats and Republicans are pretty much the same, in the sense that they pander to specific types of people in order to remain in power.

Wake up. I won't vote for a Dem because I refuse to take part in socialism, and thats what universal health care is all about. Its socialism, plain and simple. If you hate capitalism and America that much, the have fun living in Venezuela or China.

Obama is a socialist at the very least, probably could be qualified as a Commie though. "I want to take those oil company profits and give them to low income people"—–>Are you kidding me? This is not socialism? WHAT COUNTRY ARE WE IN?

Land of the Free? Yeah, until the Commies get in power and decide you have made too much money, we will take what we deem necessary and redistribute it to those who don't have as much. Oh, ok.

NoBama   May 9th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Obama will get about 35%-40% of vote and will make McGovern look like a winner.
The Dems are stupid as usual picking an extreme left wing candidate again, out of touch with everyday people.

Obama is a great entertainer but he is NO president of the U.S.

Joe Regis   May 9th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

THE SMEAR COMPAIGN BEGINS!

THE REPUBLICANS THINK AMERICA CAN BE EASILY DUPED EH.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR A CHANGE.

CHANGE IS COMING TO AMERICA.

GO OBAMA GO!!!

Dave   May 9th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Can we ask whether McCain will bring our sons and daughters home from Iraq? Or keep them there fighting for Bush, Cheney, and the Oil companies.

RNC – you have more serious questions to answer. What the hell are we in Iraq for? RNC = Murderer

La Raza   May 9th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Bring it On!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this it? Where is McCain's "kitchen sink?" Oh yeah, he is going to throw the "wheel chair" at Obama!

Robin   May 9th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Wait! What about the flag pin??? Can we ask this again 5,000 times.

Too sad.

Kitade   May 9th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

To Clinton’s supporters, there’s nothing with the elections process she’s just happens to lose. If you vote for McCain because of that, then you’re joking with your country future. In this hard time of America economic, McCain will still continue fighting unnecessary war in Irag, continue wasting young Americans women and men lives in Irag, continue wasting billions of dollar in Irag, and people are facing hard time economic back home. You must not complain because he never promised you to stop the war, after all, he said he knew less about economic. I bet he will even attack Iran. Well this is not my own business, I’m not American and I don’t live in America. I just want peace in the whole world.
I knew CNN would not post this comment as usually.

Concerned   May 9th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Another hint that Obama WILL BE President.

Rich   May 9th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Someone needs to put up a website about McSame. "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran." Remember when he said that as a joke? War is not funny!

nicole   May 9th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

this is terrible you can't believe anything on sites like that, which go out of their way to attack–twisting facts to that purpose.

jonny   May 9th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

pathetic.

joann   May 9th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Hey Tom, boy are you naive if you don't think that head to head, Obama isn't going negative. He did it with Hillary and he'll do anything to win the general election (sound familiar?). Naive!

Inevitable   May 9th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

WOW SIGNS OF FEAR & DESPERATION………………. LOL

REPUBLICANS ARE REALLY AFRAID OF OBAMA >> I'M 100% OF THIS ..

GET READY FOR WAR >>> WAR ON THE ISSUES I MEAN >> THAT'S WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT NO DISTRACTIONS >>>>

Uncle Sam   May 9th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

And why does Sen. Obama think that the American people are so anxious for change that we will fall for an untested and unproven candidate who holds out a promise of it, yet doesn't explain what that change will produce?

Americans for McCain '08

Kevin   May 9th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I just checked out this site. It's kind of dumb (what did I expect, right!).

I was looking for an opportunity to help answer some of these questions (most of which are just accusations, and not really honest questioning.)

And frankly most of these answers can be found with a bit of research.

But it's fun politics.

Hey GOP – Why have you increased the debt so much? Hey GOP, why are we still fighting in Iraq at the cost of $12 BILLION per month, when our objectives have been met? Hey GOP, why do you pretend to be the party of family values, but have so many members who get caught doing things that I keep trying to teach to my children are bad bad things?

Hmmm… maybe I should create an Ask the GOP site.

Ken   May 9th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I say we institute a poll tax…. a poll tax on anyone voting [R]. These people have voted us into debt and, incredibly, will be voting to continue the mess. These people must accept special responsibility for their low voting IQ. I'd say a $500 poll-tax charge should help to start to pay back the debt they caused to our national treasury. That, and sign them up for a military tour too, to help support the war they so tragically want to continue at the cost of others' blood.

Chip   May 9th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Looks like they've scrapped the "Karl Rove playbook" for the Clinton manual.

yj   May 9th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Just the one of the many negative campaigning for the RNC.

Shouldn't the money be spend on a site justifying why we should vote for McCain??? Obviously, there's not much to say about that.

OBAMA O8!!!!

joann   May 9th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Hey Sue, mind your business – this blog is from the RNC to Obama – leave Hillary out of this one. If you don't want her in – don't watch her – she still has supporters who want her to win – close your eyes.

NY'er   May 9th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Obama is toast.
The Audacity of Unelectability!!

Dumbocrats do it Again-
McGovern>Mondale>Gore>Kerry>Obama

MD   May 9th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Why don't you get three sites.. No matter what you morons do this time, the Democrats are going to win by a landslide. I am a Republican, waiting for Obama to be nominated. I want to be the first Republican who switches over AFTER his nomination.

nice try   May 9th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

…unfortunately I don't think we'll be getting any of the answers the American people deserve…

MCcian support   May 9th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

MCcCAIN will loss if he goess neagive
MCcain is old to be doing this
shame on you RNC.
If you go neagive I will not vote for you!!

Robin   May 9th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Well, this is only to be expected. Republicans, John McCain, cannot just stand on their own merit at this point they need to play bad politics.
So I guess Obama is the man….

hakeemsdad, Florida   May 9th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Yes republicans can ask questions. Obama will gladly answer them.

But try not to throw dirt with fake scenarios and what ifs. Since we know what happened the last time when they said to America people what if Saddam has a nuclear weapon. Where is Saddam and his weapons now!

Democrat in Des Moines   May 9th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

If he thinks Clinton was tough on him – wait until the Republicans really let him have it. He'll go from having his pillow taken away to laying on a bed of nails.

The Republicans bring up an execellent point with has been evident all the time – he's just talk. It will be entertaining watching them crush him going forward. He won't win the general election by just giving speeches – he will actually have to act.

McCain '08
Clinton '12

Here's My First Question   May 9th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

WOW, this will be GREAT! There are so many questions I would like to ask Obama! Here's my first one:

Mr. Obama, how will you make sure that no one is injured, if McCain loses his temper during a debate and takes a swing at you?

(I am somewhat concerned about this, because he could easily break his hip if you knocked him down.)

Tanya Kujath   May 9th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Hillary supporter who WILL vote for Obama. This country cannot stand another republican in the White House. Democrats unite behind our candidate for our Country.

Zina   May 9th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Bring it on, repubs! We knew that whether is the Clinton scandals or whatever you dig up on Obama you would do something disgusting!

Democrats '08

proud army and navy mom   May 9th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

To louis…. it's hard to lighten up when a parent receives communication from troops asking us to keep them forefront in our mind.s.
they are surviving on very little sleep, underperforming equipment and forced to do two or three tours.
a fellow solider of my solider committed suicide yesterday.. don't hear even a name on the news.
so excuse me if i seem to repeat myself. just trying to be a voice to our hardworking troops who has an idiot for a commander-in-chief who would rather tell lame jokes than look after their well-being.
Obama deservers downtime, i just think the ticker can be used for more informative purposes….i just saying….

Inter-racial Mom in Arizona   May 9th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

The RNC is gonna have to do better than that to win my vote, honestly.

Stacy Clarks   May 9th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

I SAY ALL DEMOCRATS AND OBAMA SUPPORTERS FLOOD THE SITE AND ASK WHY REPUBLICANS HAVE KILLED OUR KIDS IN IRAQ, AND TAKEN OUR ECONOMY TO THE GUTTERS!!!!!

Steve, NJ   May 9th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

And I bet I could make an anti-McCain website in about 37 seconds, amazing huh?

Jason - KY   May 9th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

I think he new this was coming, remember these were the plays that they gave Hillary to play in OH, PA, IN.

Nothing new here, he's ready.

eric   May 9th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

"Why did he tell donors in San Francisco that the economy has driven small town voters to 'cling' to guns and religion?"

Answer: Because they do.

Peter in Canada   May 9th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

He has explained this crap ad nauseum!
The change that America needs is CLARITY. The system in place now on bills allows such stupid and meaningless votes that nobody seems to know what to heck the vote really is and what the bill means or what THE REAL PROVISIONS ARE.
The best vote most times is probably – no vote, since you could be voting to install public washrooms in a private facility!

Paris   May 9th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Good, about time.
I wonder why CNN didn't question this.
These are valid questions that must be answered.
Among 20 more that Wolf Blitzer failed to address any of them.
The media has failed to scrutinize this man like they should and they have always done in the past.
And as soon as you question him they label you as racist.

Sheila   May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Questions well-put.

Sen. Obama has failed to respond directly to many of the issues in the series of presidential debates. He appears unable to "think on his feet" when under even the slightest pressure.

If he becomes the Democratic nominee, John McCain will coast to victory.

Debby   May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Yes and the RNC forgot the most important question why hasn't he gone to Iraq yet to see whats going on since he says he has better foreign policy experience than McCain.

Tom   May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

This is exactly why I am voting for Senator Obama. We need to change the tactics of elections and the political strategies of Washington.

HillarySkank on myspace   May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Hey RNC, sure you can ask all the questions you want, in the presidential debates between Barack and McSame.
BTW, how is John's case coming with the FEC where he has violated the law?
Has he l lost his bearings again?

Justice   May 9th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Typical republican site just like the swifboaters

char19145   May 9th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

This is a first. My first crossover to the republican side. I'm sure I won't be alone.

I would hold off on the coronation of Mr.Obama.

Eric   May 9th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

You should see some if the "insightful" text submissions on this site:

"Senator Obama, how can you claim to love this country while you disagree with its policies?"

Complete ignorance at its best.

Greg   May 9th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Funny.

I am starting to think it might be a very long time before we have another Republican in the White House.

They just come off sounding like nut cases when they put out crap like this.

Alfredo   May 9th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

The media is SO UNFAIR to Hillary. They need to realize that Hillary WON
Indiana. Obama is expected to win both Indiana and North Carolina since February. But, Hillary won Indiana and cut Obama's lead in North Carolina from 20% in February down to 14% in spite of ad overspending by Obama.

Wake up media people or wake up Obama-Media people. Hillary even won consecutively in Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvannia and now Indiana. Not to mention the other big states such as California, Arkansas, Florida (both of them are in the ballot) that are crucial in November. Hillary has the most electoral college votes based in these big states.

If you want a Democrat to win then Hillary should be the choice. African Americans are so unfair voting 9 to1 against Hillary not like the white people who fair and thinks who is the best candidate. Who is being racial now? This racial thing about Black has been OVERUSED, MISUSED and ABUSED by these people. Obama, the Obama camp, Clyburn, Wright and others can not fool us anymore. Stop this non-sense.

Wake up superdelegates! Wake up media people.

brian bernard   May 9th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

please stop with the nonsence

Dan Lee   May 9th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

IMPORTANT TO ALL OF CLINTON SUPPORTERS :

October 2007: "It's clear that this election they're having [in Michigan] is not going to count for anything," Hillary Clinton during an interview with New Hampshire Public Radio in
August 2007: Clinton adviser Harold Ickes voted to strip the rogue states (Michigan & Florida) of their delegates as a member of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws committee – "to prevent the gaming of the system,"
September 2007: Patti Solis Doyle, Former Clinton's campaign manager, pledged not to compete in either contest -. "We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process… and the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role," "Thus, we will… adhere to the DNC-approved nominating calendar."
January 2004: Former DNC chairman–and current Clinton aide–Terry McAuliffe: "If I allow you to do that, the whole system collapses," (According to his memoir)."The closest [Michigan's delegates will] get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules.

GOT ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS ? OR ARE YOU ALL JUST UNEDUCATED BLUE-COLLAR WHITE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THIS MEAN?

Margeaux   May 9th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Obama is going to get slaughtered by the Rep. Maybe that will get that smug, arogant look off of his face.

Whiskey   May 9th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

is the site bankrolled by the clintons?

James   May 9th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Another republican play book.

Stacy Clarks   May 9th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING DOWN!!!!!!!

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perrell, Lincolnton, NC   May 9th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

The RNC can put this up, but funny enough these questions have been answer on more then one occasion. So if they want to make a fool of themselves then let them go right ahead and do that to their selves…

Dale Wise   May 9th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

So they're attacking Obama on a site that only republicans are going to look at. Feel free, morons.

Angus McDugan   May 9th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Thanks for supplying the ammo Hillary!

NickNas   May 9th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

This will Backfire. Each state has its own ways of doing things and a VOTE PRESENT is a way NOT to be forced to vote on a Bill or Issue that you may believe in but the Crooks tagged on a bunch of crap that you DON'T support to it as Blackmail to get it through. Simple as that. Soon as the people learn this fact it will make this look just like what it is BS POLITICS!!!

Milwaukee for Obama   May 9th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Nice try McCain. You are not winning this one. You will not by wanting to stay in Iraq 100 more years. It did not work in Kentucky with that guy who won the elections and I just feel sorry for the McCain camp.

sue   May 9th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

So it begins….

Hillary, drop this campaign and support the nominee like you said you would, we need to unite NOW before its too late!!

The DNC better be prepared.

sacto joe   May 9th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

They're running scared! They KNOW that Barak Obama will win the Presidency in a landslide!!

rs   May 9th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

wow…desperate times call for desperate measures.

B + NYC   May 9th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

It's about time.
All they ever wanted was Obama to get the nomination… They will rip him up.

proud army and navy mom   May 9th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

those questions have been asked and answered repeatedly…next
