Watch the latest Moveon.org ad: 'Obamacan.'.
(CNN)— MoveOn.org unveiled the winner of its pro-Barack Obama ad contest Monday, emphasizing the Illinois senator’s message that he can garner support across party lines.
The winning ad, titled “Obamacan,” features a lifelong Republican making the case for Obama’s appeal over presumptive GOP nominee, John McCain.
“I’ve been a Republican since before I could actually vote–and I’m voting for Barack Obama,” says former U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant John Wieler, citing Obama’s ability to represent Republicans and Democrats.
In total, more than 5.5 million votes were cast online. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Oliver Stone, and John Legend were among the celebrity panel helping average citizens to choose one winning ad out of more than 1,100 submissions.
The ad is set to air on national cable and network television in the fall battleground states of Ohio, Wisconsin, and Colorado, going hand in hand with the Obama campaign’s recent shift towards a general election focus.
MoveOn.org formally endorsed Obama's candidacy in February, and says it will spend $200,000 to air “Obamacan,” even though the Illinois senator has not yet been chosen as the Democratic nominee.

Time to move on past Hillary and bring the fight to McCain.
Obama '08
Wow, I can't wait to see it.
Obama 08
Can Obama win the General? Yes Yes Yes
Never in the history of this country have people from all walks of life support an African American as much as Barach Obama. We are experiencing something very special.
it's not about conservative, or liberal. it is the united states of america. we need to vote for what is best for the U.S. don't be freightened into throwing your vote away this time, use your heads.
YES! Senator O can because he is the man! lol
Anyone in politics knows this much:
Obama was running just for visibility and to let voters come to know him. He would then have been the VP choice for Hillary.
But Obama tried to fast track himself and got greedy and went for the gold ring.
He did not care if this hopelessly fractured the democratic party and did not care if that mean't a loss in Nov.
So blame selfish Obama.
Obama wasn't even able to win the democrats over.
These loony tunes lose us every ellection.
Will it really be helpful? We shall see.
I'll buy that.
From right to far left.
Perfectly reasonable.
Moveon.org can take their ad and put it where the sun don't shine....
The democrats are already tired of Obama.
I doubt he will enthuse any republican.
CNN.... why don't you just come out and voice your support of Hillary Clinton? Do you really believe your viewers are that blind and/or stupid to believe your not acting as a propaganda machine for her?
YEAHH BABY..LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED.
Thanks Matt, Ben, John, Oliver and SSG John Wieler.
Obama 08'/12'
For those who are still screening for Hillary,
Have you already forgotten:
1. The Clinton impeachment?
2. The Clinton scandals that cost the democrats years to regain their footings, thanks to Bush?
3. The dirty "baggage that Hillary brings with her?
4. How over 50% of people in this nation really "hate" Hillary as a person? This is personal for some people.
5. How much the Republicans want to get back at the Clintons.
Let us face it, had it not been to the negative high ratings of Bush, and the large crowd brought in by Obama, the democrats would have had no chance against the Republicans because of the Clinton years.
Just look back: Iowa placed Hillary in the Third place!!!! Wake up people.
We have the freedom to write in the best candidate.
People will exercise that option.
All of American knows who the best candidate is.
To face it:
What planet are you living on? You can't possibly be that ignorant.
It is a shame that moveon.org won't give $200k to something a little more worthy than Obama. Especially since he will probably lose to McCain.
McLame no way. Hillary Go home to NY
Obama all the way
The democrats are losing it...
They have truly lost their bearings....hahaha.
Someone always have to become negative on these blogs, OMG I can't stand it. If he is the front runner it is because the people made him teh front runner. Gosh this bickering back and forth is ridiculous... @ fac it
Barack Obama's challenge will be to find Republicans who are sick of Bush.
In other words, he'll need a list of everybody who voted for Bush. I hope his printer has plenty of ink!
LOL...MoveOn...a bunch of radical liberals preaching to the chior. Moderate Americans know people like MoveOn, Huffington, and Coulter need to be ignored.
Left and right wing radicals are bad for America. MoveOn is bad for America.
WE CAN SHIFT ONLY IF HRC STOPS HER MINDSET. THE REPUBILICANS HAVE ENOUGH SOUL-LESS MATERIAL FROM HER ALREADY. WE ADMIRE MR. OBAMA MINDSET OF NOT GETTING DOWN TO HER LEVEL. LIKE WE SAY - "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND'>. FOR HRC, THE STONES THAT SHE IS CONTINUES TO THROW WILL CONTINUE TO HIT HER IN HER BACK.
Who is losing their marbles now... I mean, bearings?
The democrats are the voice crying in the wilderness- can't decide what their message is.
All they know is they want to win.
It is about Obama's political views and orientation. He represents the worst of the Democratic Party. The most liberal Senator. Worse than Kennedy if that is possible and the Conservative Democrats or Main stream demos if you prefer will not vote for him. They haven't so far and what makes you think they will in November.
Nixon's silent majority is still alive and kicking and we will not have anything to do with this extreme Radical's campaign and his supporters.
Face it:
It's time you face it. you team lose.
Obama will be President
Take a long hard look...
We are witnessing the death of the democratic party.
Hello Independent voters... here I come.
I am an Obamacan and proud of it!!!
Sooo Mr./Ms. Face it... Obama is deystroying the Party? Not Hillary who has lost in every single way and keeps touting that SHE can win...
Ummm in denial much?
YES WE CAN OBAMA 08!!!!! AWESOME
Matt Damon & Ben Affleck, what idiots!!!
This guy will NEVER win the General Election!
Please, the Republicans are going to throw everything scandalous at him; they will probably find an affair somewhere down the line...
Impeachment proceedings within a year if elected!!!!
Dear "face it". Blame Senator Obama for what? For having a date with destiny? For winning the most votes? For having large segments of the country believe again? For getting our kids excited about politics again? Really, how dare he seize the moment!!! The date that President Obama is sworn in will be one of the greatest moments of my generation and I am a 60+ white female.
"Anyone in politics knows this much:
Obama was running just for visibility and to let voters come to know him. He would then have been the VP choice for Hillary."
-And how exactly do you "KNOW" this?
moveon knows who has won.their help is greatly appreciated.
Way to go!
Let's finish the primaries for Obama and Hillary on June 3, 2008!
Let's give Hillary and Bill Clinton the respect they deserved for all the wonderful things they have done for our country and the world!
Thank you Bill and Hillary Clinton!
Go Obama...his troops is marching on!
Face it–
No, Ms. Inevitibility screwed up through complacency, and voters–oh horrors–LIKE Obama and find him more trustworthy. And Ms. Clinton cannot believe that she was not handed "her" throne.
Yeah Obama '08 !!
In doubt about Obama's experiences, stick with Bush and Cheney's experiences and vote for McCain's experiences to continue what we are now. Want to change washington's culture and policies for the better, vote for Obama. It's simple.
If MoveOn.org thinks Obama can really win against GOP members then they truly have no shot.
They were getting some traction of Independents who were former Democrats but not a shot against actual Independents who are heartened Republicans minus their Religious Affiliation.
He's DOA.
How's Obama going to get the Republican vote? When Hillary announces she's running as an Independent, he's not even getting half of the Democratic vote. The Obamanians energized Hillary to run as an Independent because of their constant belittling of her. And now they will see that what goes around, comes around. Obama will be lucky to win the Presidency of Hamas.
Go Obama!
Thank you America!
"face it,"
I believe you have the candidates mixed up.
I am dismayed and can only shake my head at the comments I'm reading from both sides of the camp. It's plain to see that it isn't the candidates that are dividing the Democratic party, it's the supporters. The end to the primaries will bring great sadness because it's not enough we look at Iran, Israel, China, Myanmar, Darfur, and other countries and see the kind of infighting and separation that tears those countries apart. How are we any different than them if we are to call ourselves a nation that wants to lead. We're pouring humanitarian support and money into countries but have tornadoes, storms, and other disasters ripping through our own country. To state the obvious AMERICAN people are dying folks?!?! Not black, not white, not Hispanic, not Mexican – AMERICANS. Not just here but abroad in a senseless war that many of you are willing to cast your vote for someone who wants to continue it and do it out of spite and revenge. I talked to an uncle over the weekend who is a Vietnam war vet and the comparisons he placed between Iraq and Vietnam made my mouth go dry. I will fight tooth and nail, if in 14 years my son is being called up to fight a war we have no business being in. Clinton supporters – do you feel that way about your child/children?
It's no wonder we're the laughing stock and epitome of hypocrisy in the eyes of other countries. LOOK AT US ON THESE BLOGS!! I remain hopeful, even as there are those who think that hope means nothing. I am hopeful that we call can come together and take this country back and make it 'BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE'. The first line of the constitution for those that didn't know.
Obama will never win period. We the Hillary's supporter will not allow it... Especially women, because an attack on Hillary is an attack on US WOMEN. BO needs our vote in general, and he will not have it.
The people will take the White House back in November from those who have put us into a no-gain, no-win war, run our economy into the ground; accumulated record deficits, and created record oil prices. No reasonable energy policy, no reasonable environmental policy, inane foreign policy. Tax breaks for the rich, who continue to grab a bigger share of the economic pie, while ordinary Americans see declining real wages and skyrocketing prices for energy, food, and many necessary consumer goods.
McCain wants to make tax breaks to the rich permanent and stay the course in Iraq. This can only lead to more deficits and cuts in services to veterans, ordinary families, and those in need. You will not be safer, only poorer and the benefits will go to the wealthy and corporations in selected industries – Exxon, Haliburton, and the like.
If you're in the top 1/2 percent of wealth or income, or if you are a big time corporate executive, you should vote for McCain. Otherwise, a vote for McCain will be a vote against yourself, your children, and your grandchildren, who will already be paying for Bush's stupidity for many decades.
Let's hope, as the Who sang, "We don't get fooled again."
Selfish, indeed. This describes the Clintons perfectly. No people in America have been more selfish and egocentric as this duo. The real beauty in this election is that the Clintons have been torpedoed by their own liberal party and PACs.
There is hope in this greatest nation on God's green earth!
Yeah,
You forgot all of your fellow Democrats that won't be voting for Obama if he gets the nod. Spin that one, will ya!
YES HE CAN!!!
I love the fact that democratic independent orgs are airing POSITIVE stuff while the republicans do what they do best, lie, smear and go negative
guess what, the American people are TIRED OF IT!!!
YES WE CAN!!!
LET'S GO PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!
DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of IGNORANT people are talking about vote McCain or stay home. what kind of crazyness is this.
-Mccain is 72, will surely stock the supreme court with more neo-conservative types.
-He will bleed our defecit
VOTE WITH YOU MIND, NOT YOUR HEART.
Unfortunately, after 8 years of polarizing government we must unite.
REMEMBER PEOPLE: if mCCain wins, he will not be able to do much because he would be president in a democratic run senate and congress. Think People. Think!!!
I will always be a Hillary supporter.
I will never be an Obama supporter.
He cannot count on me to help him win.
It is as simple as that.
I'd say Hillary was counting on a "fast-track " based on marriage {on paper & in the business of politics only as per his behavior} to slick Willy.Her desparate scrabble for the nom makes me wonder what deals they've made with foreign countries ( similar to NAFTA) to be consumated with them back in the White House. Something to think about with there history of deceit & self serving dealing.
It's definitely time out for selective scrutiny & self serving elected officials. Inclusive problem resolution & rebuilding USA domestically & internationally is in !!!! From the supporters in office ,Obama will choose a great team to get it done. YES We can !!!!
Hillary supporters get over yourself. stop being bitter and show some support for your fellow democrat.
if you have no loyalty, go and change your voter registration card to republican. just shut the heck up with your whining.
I agree with Alan – a very special moment in American history.
I will vote for Hillary. I am a Dem. and have always voted that way. But not this year. There are several reasons but most of all the posts there are nasty nasty by Obama people. And he said he would run a different kind of race. I sure do not see any changes. Because he is not honesty or fore coming and then says just stupid things about Hillary. He is just a politician no different.. Hillary 08 or Republican
WE HAVE NO DOUBT THAT MR, OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. WHETHER ITS HRC AS A INDEPENDENT, MCCAIN AS A REPUBILICAN, NADER AND BARR AS WHATEVER. THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL. OUR YOUNG PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DENIED. SO LET ALL COMERS COME ON. IT BOILS DOWN TO THE "RIGHT OF THING".
From what I can see by these posts, Hillary has accomplished what she's set out to accomplish and that is to drive a wedge amongst the democratic voters of this country by constantly speaking in deaming terms about Obama!
How this kind of tactic can be allowed in this country is shameful!– I lost complete respect for Hillary– If she had campaigned on merits rather than obliterating her component this would have been an honorable race but that isn't how she has conducted herself and for that she's responsible- How can anyone expect Obama to ask her to become his VP after the way she has conducted this race!
Obama and moveon are so sad. Getting a 'former' USAF guy who was only a SSgt. Please. The guy is obviously a loser. Well good for them. When they show that in CO we already know BHO is on the fast track to losing the GE to Repubs. If only BHO would open the playbook – all of America would see him as the phony he is.
If Obama can't win a majority of Dems how in the world does he expect to win over Republicans. In a nutshell its not going to hapen. I just don't see Republicans switching parties to vote for the US Senator with the most liberial voting record in the Senate.
People should treat each other like they want to be treated. I am guilty, Hiilary is guilty, Barak is guilty, everyone reading this is guilty.
You only have yourself to blame if you vote for McCain and things stay the same or get worse. At what time do you you change jobs because it costs more to get to work then you make? That is what we have to look forward if we keep the status quo.
If BHO wins, the change will be something that you live to regret. Be careful..BHO is not to be trusted.
Face it if this remark makes you feel better about Hillary's losing then wallo in it. Facts are facts. Obama has most delegates, most states won, and popular votes. Numbers don't lie and polls don't win elections. And Bayou joe we all know what happened to Nixon don't we. Hillary run independent. She will lose to Bloomberg are you crazy. Do you think she will be the only one on the ticket? Then the Clintons will not only lose, they will go down in history as the one who split the Dem party and was impeached. What a waste after 11 million dollar spent to go down because of hate. But hate usually turns on itself doesn't it.
face it – So what you're saying is that we should ignore the fact that most of the voters (popular vote – even with FL&MI) have voted for Obama because this DOESN'T reflect who they want for president?? (scratching my head) I've never heard that twist before.
Sounds like that Clinton math has expanded to a new height.
To Face it: Is this something you came up with on your own?
Hillary is where she is... because she totally blew it. Her managing skills are obviously terrible....look at all her campaign financial woes. She got caught lying and continued to do so (GAS TAX)... because she thinks the average American is too stupid to realize it. She continues to alienate many people... and just doesnt care.
Stop blaming Barack for Hillary's disatraous campaign. She's selfish and will stop at nothing to get what she feels she deserves.
What a joke! He'll never win the General with out the support of Hillary's supporters! AND, it's not a racist thing either, it's the fact we have common sense, he has divided this party and I highly doubt it will ever be repaired....You obama people stand by him without even really knowing what this man stands for....He spews the word change all over the place but can you really even say what the "change" is going to be? You disregard his wife's and Wright comments, and yet you stand by him??? I've even seen people on these blogs compare him to Christ! That's twisted! So, get informed about him before you vote!
Can anyone PLEASE just tell us five things that Senator Obama has done for either his state or our country?
Two things?
Thought so... Big mistake people...
And MoveOn.org has done a great job of separating the party.
While Hillary an her supporters have evry right to carry on with their campaign, count me amongst the groing number of people ready to see the nomination process. the more that I read the different comments, the more convinced I become that the party will need as much time as possible to heal and bring us all under one tent. The vitrol is increasing more and more each day it seems.
Down with Obama.................
I have a questions for all those supporters of Clinton who keep suggesting she run as an independent. No disrespect at all but a legitimate question:
How is she going to fund an independent run? Do the Clinton supporters plan on backing her because as it stands right now, Clinton supporters talk big but why don't you have enough faith in her to support her campaign? I'm just curious about that.
Obama has a strong, nay, very strong chance of winning in November. Why? Because 85%-90% of Hillary supporters are smart enough to vote for the Democratic nominee regardless. They realize the stakes are much too high to give the Republicans a 3rd term. We need to reverse our CO2 emmisions prior to the filsafe year of 2012....that is far more important than the war, the economy, healthcare, and pride in having your horse come in 2nd!
Now with Mr. Barr running, hopefully some of the neo cons will be siphoned off Mccain's tally and give Obama even a larger edge.
Obama '08, '12
He can win easily. It is time ofr a change,and the people of this country know it. Obama will easily beat him. Juste a side note, I am sooo tired of CNN being the Clinton new network, especially Wolf Blitzer and Campbell Brown.
He's got my vote!! I cannot vote to John McCain, who thinks it's perfectly fine to spend $2B a week in Iraq, but won't spend $2B a YEAR on education benefits for the young men and women who risks their lives and health to fight that war!! Hell, if we got out of Iraq, we could fund education benefits for 52 YEARS, John!!!!!! Maybe, we could just take a one week vacation from Iraq OR ask the Iraqis to fund the $2B cost from their oil reserves monies??? John McCain: What a Disapointment!
"Take care of the men and women who take care of you." Leadership 101.
Republican for OBAMA 08!
SDB May 12th, 2008 4:14 pm ET
It is a shame that moveon.org won't give $200k to something a little more worthy than Obama. Especially since he will probably lose to McCain
_________________________________________________
If thats the case than it's really a shame that HRC won't give $11million to something a little more worthy than her sinking campaign...but hey, she only loaned herself the money. She'll get it back. I wonder if all of those "hard working americans" will see any of the millions they gave to her back? If she wants to make a donation, thats fine. But don't talk about how you're for the hard working blue collar americans and the only person who will see anything back from her shortcomings is herself. American's do not be fooled. This woman does not care about you! All she cares about is whose vote is up for grabs at the time. before anybody knew who Barack Obama was and african americans were debating whether he was black enough HRC was all over the urban radio stations campaigning for the black vote. When it came time for california then she was all about the hispanics. Now that we are getting into the old industrial states she's now all about blue collar whites...wake up. She is using American people as puppets and many are falling for it.
Great an add for the clueless Obama followers paid for by the extremist left wing George Soros...
Hillary we are ignoring you... Go away quietly without damaging our Democrat Party... We are for the UNITED STATES not for The DIVIDED STATES of AMERICA
We will have 4 more years of GOP Bush like politics in the Whitehouse it seems now that McSame is polled ahead of both of these Demo clowns, more jobs outsourced, more illegals brought in for big business, more of YOUR Sons and Daughters to fight in Iraq and Iran, more high gas prices and heating oil and food. Most of you will continue to suffer !! So if you want all that, than be my guest and vote for good OLD Greed of Principle (GOP)ers.
It's like a Chicken voting for Colonel Sanders !!
The comments posted on these blogs always shock me. The Hillary supporters who don't know that the titanic has sunk and they are just re-arranging the deck chairs, or the hard core republicans who forget that the republican base was so against electing McCain, but they had no choice. I myself know of some republicans who are going to vote for Obama, because he's the best solution out of the 3 candidates. Is he perfect? hell no, but thats life, face the music.
MoveOn.org are just like the Bush republicans, if fact I bet a lot of Bush republicans have joined MoveOn. Very Creepy.
They are rude, mean and self serving. I'm looking forward to seeing Hillary win the nomination. They make me not like Obama.
Shirley, Portland OR May 12th, 2008 4:22 pm ET
Shirley,
Clinton will not run as an Independent. Sorry to burst your bubble but the chance of that happening is about the same as the chance of seeing the gas tax holiday this summer.
I don't know if you've noticed but Obama and Clinton are about the same on 90% of the issues and you can not tell me that Obama is a negative person or that he's not very intellegent, level-headed, thoughtful, are has this country's best interests in mind. So what's the problem with voting for him? I guess you don't like the brown wrapping that he's packaged in.
Only problem is the Independent Party already has a candidate. I guess you could start the Clinton Party. I am sure Hillary won't want to ruin her political career by changing parties. If I remember right it is the women who are so worried about SCOTUS members. I sincerely hope you all come to your senses whoever the nominee is and vote democrat in November. I'd even vote for Hillary if I have to. She's run a hard campaign and Obama has been winning fair and square. It seems to me the voters have decided and that's what this has been about since the primaries started.
Bottom line is that when it is time to vote, people will vote for character, integrity and leadership. Sorry, but that leaves Obama out of the picture. No one wants to see this country turn into a socialist radical leaning nation.
A first term of McCain seems more appealing than a first term of McGovern.
The MSM does not elect Presidents. The good people of America do.
It is a shame that this same MSM has turned this into a racial contest. It was never a racial contest until the MSM decided that no one was allowed to ask any deep and probing questions regarding Mr Obama's shady relationships.
It is a sham that the MSM has made this about one persons melanin level.
And if I were Ted Kennedy, I would keep my mouth shut regarding the selection of potential VP candidates. If Hillary is not your choice because you think she does not have Obamas vision to lead this country, then why on the other is the MSM asking her to bow out and help Obama? Wouln't that hurt the Obama camp if HIllary were out on the trail campaigning for him?
You can't have it both ways Ted..
If I were Hillary, I would drop out and endorse McCain...
She probably gets more respect from that camp then the Obama camp could ever wish to show her.
Obama has not won the democratic nomination yet!!!! Why not let the voices of FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN
Finally the message is getting out there that Obama has a better chance of beating McCain than Clinton does. There are a lot of moderate republicans out there that do not want to vote for McCain. They won't vote for Clinton. They will cross party lines and vote for Obama.
Clinton's stand that she has a better chance beating McCain is false. Obama has the better chance to beat McCain. Even republicans are sick of republicans right now. But – they don't want Clinton.
Let the voices of Michigan and Florida be heard. The election is not over!!!! Also the states of KY and WVA have not even cast a ballot yet and Obama has moved on without even giving a glance at these states. Just goes to show his lack of experience-not even one term in office yet!!!! Give me a break. They will eat him alive in Nov.
It never fails. No matter WHAT the subject is, the Hill Shills ALWAYS show up and start posting about how they'll stay home, vote for McCain, write-in Clinton, or encourage her to run as an Independent.
Is anyone really that vindictive?
Besides Republicans, I mean.
If some of you had been paying attention all along, you would know that Obama has ALREADY been getting Republican voters that are disenchanted with their party. This is not new. PAY ATTENTION!
REMEMBER THE MOVE ON.ORG GENERAL PETRAEUS AND GEN. BETRAY US? THEY ARE AN ULTRA LEFT GROUPIES.
LIKE THE WIND, THEY GO HITHER AND THITHER. VOTE FOR MCCAIN OR CLINTON.
Moveon ranks right down there with the Swiftboaters. They will say and do anything to discredit the opponent.
Get this,NO ONE HURT HILLARY BUT HERSELF,she is not electable and Obama has been so nice not to point out all of her short comings.Hillary has only got this far because of her husbands record,she has no experience and no good judgement.Stop blaming someone else for this ladies failed campaign.
I don't know why people keep saying "Hillary run as independent"..
News Flash
You can't run in a primary and then run as a independent if you don't get your party's nominee...against the rules...
Sure is great how that miracle worker Obama is uniting the party. With cohesiveness like this, who needs the Reps. we'll just self-destruct and guess who gets the last laugh?
Funny how Republicans voting for Obummer are "smart" and "making the right choice"...
...but Republicans that vote for Hillary are doing so because she's "the weaker candidate"??
You Obamabots are dilusional. I can't wait for McBush to smack the sh&t out of BO this fall, IF he gets the nomination.
Face it- You forgot that once he loses the GE, he'll basically have use dup his political capital and won't get a second chance to run his change campaign...hahahaha.
Could have been somebody , now he'll barely be remeber other than for trying to jump in line.
It's not too late for all you John McSame voters to see the light. Vote for Barack Obama and vote for change we ALL can believe in.
McSame the hypocrite doesn't have a prayer!
Earlier, Robert Malley – an unpaid Middle East policy adviser to the Obama campaign – resigned after hearing the Times of London was planning to report on his meetings with Hamas in his role as head of the International Crisis Group. Obama himself has said that he would not meet with the Palestinian group.
"My job with the International Crisis Group is to meet with all sorts of savory and unsavory people and report on what they say. I've never denied whom I meet with; that's what I do,” Malley told NBC News in a weekend interview.
I decided to support Obama for that reason. Since the 1990's their has been a highly partisan combative style of politics. I did not support Hillary Clinton because she is highly partisan and combative. She would be battling the Republicans for her entire term with little to show for it if she were president. The next president needs to be inviting and very willing to work with Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Over the last decade, we have had both Republican-controlled and Democratic-controlled Congress and there has been very little accomplished. It is time for a change. It is time for compromise in order to solve some pressing issues that country is facing. We do not need more bickering. Back in 2000, I supported McCain because he seemed to be the person that could work with both sides. Over the past 8 years, McCain has embraced George Bush too much and pandered to the far right of his party. McCain is not the same maverick that he was back in 2000.
Obama's platform involves working with both sides. I do not believe one side or the other has all of the answers. This message is for both Democrats and Republicans. You can respectfully disagree on issues withouth being nasty and disagreeable. Hopefully, Obama can encourage both Democrats and Republicans to truly have bipartisanship. I still have HOPE that maybe just maybe that can happen this time. .
HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE JUST LIKE HILLARY HERSELF DESCRIBED THEM: WHITE AND UNEDUCATED!
THEY OBVIOUSLY THINK 1+1 =11
OBAMA DID NOT OUTSPENT HILLARY, HE OUTRAISED HER, BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN HIM AND ARE WILLING TO GIVE TO HIM UNLIKE HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS WHO ARE OBVIOUSLY ARE ALL TALK AND TO CHEAP TO REALLY SUPPORT THEIR CANDIDATE THUS HER CAMPAIGN IS BROKE.
PLEASE OBAMA SUPPORTERS DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO THOSE UNEDUCATED PEOPLE HOW TO ADD AND SUBTRACT AND WHAT RULES MEAN ETC... THEY ARE DELUSIONAL JUST LIKE THEIR LEADER.
OK, I have a confession to make. Everything I do is about political expediency. It's about furthering my cause. It's about making my voice heard.
Why? BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE!!!!
HRC, 2008
Hey, Hillary supporters-are you aware that MOVEON.ORG was developed the help BIll after he was impeached. It was about moving on (moving past it) now Hillary has been bashing them as a leftist political activist group because they support Obama. She is ungrateful and dishonest, ask 50% of the voters.
Obama = McGovern = landslide loss in 08.
to Face it, well i didn't know the are still pple out there who do not use their head to think. Nowonder why HRC is still in the race what advice do you expect she will get from pple like you
Hillary supporters, I just want to know, why would you vote for McCain? Let's hear it! Give a detailed honest explanation of why you would vote for such a candidate. If you would betray your own convictions as a Hillary supporter, then you should not vote at all on election day, just stay home. Visit McCain's website at least and tell us how many issues he supports that you agree with. Think.
anon- we don't have to, we have the rich powerful people in our corner...this way i can fill up whenever i need and eat out whenever i want. My money stays in my pocket while my canidate gets elected...how's that taste?
When your time comes, the Lord will make your bosses, friends and foes to serve you; now its time for BO.
When JESUS say YES, who can say NO?
Moveon.garbage and the Huffinton Rag can't pick a winner to save their lives. Look what happened in 2004. The October surprise ruined Kerry and Edwards with that Swiftboat add. All it takes is once and Obama will be the 3rd loser of this failing party.
What's so strange is the fact that 75% percent (other 25% is in denial) of the country is fed up with the high gas prices, high prices on food, housing and education issues and the Iraq war caused by the current GOP Administration and then they decide that if it's not Hillary (some DEMS) it will be McBush they will vote for. I call that insanity. DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS. And as for Michigan and Florida...should have obeyed the rules and if the rules don't apply then you consider yourselves better than everyone else plus your delegates won't even help Hillary catch O'bama.....DO THE MATH.
O'bama 2008 2012
Obama 09!!!!
President for ALL terrorists!! BIGGEST SUPPORTERS:
1. Hamas
2. Farrakhan
3. Wright
4. Black Panther
5. Ayers
6. Rezko
7. Muslim extremists living in USA contributing to his campaign
I THINK SEN. OBAMA IS SO POLITICALLY POLWERFUL HE CAN WIN WITHOUT "MOVE-ON.ORG". YOU HEAR THAT? NOW MOVE-ON..............MOVEON.ORG, GET REAL JOBS. SEN OBAMA WILL DEFEAT "OLD MAN MCCAIN" LIKE A CHAMP.
GOOD-BYE HILLARY! (tear-drop)
OBAMA IN 08-12 AND BEYOND!
He might be able to win a FEW GOP votes, but he won't win many Dems - he won't win half of former Edwards, Kucinich, and Clinton supporters. Obama is sunk.
Maybe Obama can win the republicains because McCain will never get my vote or any other Conservative I've talked to. His personallity traits are too much like the clintons. can't be trusted.
No... He can't win...
There is way to much baggage here... Rev. Wright, his wife's anti American comments and the fact that he has done nothing for his state or our country...
MoveOn.org separated it's supporters in the beginning which was super lame and they will pay the price... The Clinton supporters will mostly NOT vote for Obama... The party is separated and the damage is done.
To FACE IT, you need to face it.
Well, truth be told, Obama wasn't supposed to even make it this far. He had many obstacles against him. This is what happens when you underestimate people. Obama wasn't even thought of until he started beating Clinton. LOL. It is funny how people try to make it out that all of the failing of Clilnton is due to him. I think the longer Clinton stays in the race, the more unflattering she becomes to the American people. I know many racist people are upset because Obama is winning. I hope this makes you take a look at your twisted way of thinking about people of other cultures and race. I can not understand how people allowed Bush 8 terms and now talk about experience. LOL. The bar is always raised higher for who may not look or have the same color as others. I hope we can get over this way of thinking in my lifetime. Racism is really whacked.
Attention Democratic Party: You have shot yourself in the foot once again. There has never been a weaker candidate than Mr. Obama. He will not win the general election. I have to have more experience for my job than he brings to the table for the President's position.
The Democratic Party and those in leadership for that party have lost touch. I hear them express fear about losing the AA and young vote with no mention of the long-time Democrats. This attitude will seriously damage the strength of the Democratic Party. They are absolutely incapable of presenting a candidate that can win.
Be prepared for the biggest Democratic loss to date in November.
Too bad that:
1) there are idiots like "Neutral" out there
and that
2) the Clinton's are stinking this up now. Hillary needs to bow out and let Obama get ready for the real fight. The longer she stays in, the more she goes into debt (which he'll probably pay off) and the more he has to focus on primaries that we shouldn't even hear about (and I'll vote in one of them.) If she really thinks he'll have a problem in the fall, she should do the right thing and help him get elected. She can run again in 2012 or 2016... whenever Jeb gets ready to run.
Brian from Fort whatever:
Obama will clean up BECAUSE republicans are fed up with bush. Hillary would've cleaned up too.
Bush is against abortion and homosexuality and government regulation of business. That's all you idiots care about. So that's all we got – for 8 years. Morally, intelectually BANKRUPT leadership.
Obama will clean up because dems independents and republicans ALL want change.
how totally ridiculous- Move on has completely lost my respect – first for endorsing and secondly for carrying on such an unscientific piece of garbage.......Move on has accomplished nothing-done nothing except take people's money....what a sham!
He has to win, I can't stand the idea of looking at John McCain for 4 to 8 years.
Neutral:
I have to ask, what basis in fact do you have for your macabre speculations?
How about Obama-NOT? That sounds more inspiring.
If this guy Ken is still lurking on this board, I wish to respond to your psost from the McCain appealing to environmentalists board. sir, you are an idiot to the highest degree if you believe what you write. the environmental movement is bunk. it is humanism at its worst. so go along with it and worship at the altar of Gore and see where it will lead you. geez.
Is it true that many Hillary supporters feel that a great second choice is a man who believes a woman should lose her right to choose, and supports the Iraq war? This can't be true. That would make those supporter completely unprincipled. If it is true, they are not democrats, and were only voting for Hillary as "republicans for any woman running". Confusing stuff for sure.
We are a group of concerned American, republicans and yes it is time to confess our sins. We did what we did for America by creating a divide between Clinton supporters and those of Obamas. We were responsible for blogging as supporters of each candidate and throwing dirty words out here. However, we respected each candidate and did not do that on their private website.
The Obama movement was growing and we felt it could not be stopped so we had to divide the dems because it is important that you guys don’t win come November, so that explains why on blogs like this it has been very rude but not your candidates websites.
No offense meant but now that the damage has been done to both candidates beyond repair we are moving on to Operation SWEEP. CHAOS started with the blogs and ended in the polls, and SWEEP will be more telling even Karl Rove would be jealous. We know Bush was a mistake but that does not mean we have to put up with a democrat in office because we’ve had very good republicans. We have presented a moderate in John McCain and he will work with the democrat’s best. Let the games begin.
And we are having so much FUN, nice thing about the internet! Think about it FOLKS and give us one more chance to WIN this war and right the wrongs of BUSH.
Bayou Joe:
Obama's "polictal views his orientation" are radical? What is radical about his agenda? He thinks that republicans have good ideas. He's about consensus building. He's about trying a different approach to forsign policy after 7 years of screw-up after screw-up.
The really scary thing would be to ellect the the guy who doesn't think any thing's wrong (McCain).
Way to go future President Obama. I do think you should send someone from your Campaign to West Virginia and Ketucky to let them know that you still care for their vote.
Dang CNN, can you be more biased? I like how you say MoveOn.org TRIES to show Obama can beat GOP. LOL
He has more votes than McCain and some of Hillary's less hysterical and emotional supporters will be voting for Obama, so I am sure he will win in November. We get that you are an HRC supporter, but your verbiage is telling on you today.
Obama O-8!!
Good God. More "theatrics" to make OBAMA Look like a viable candidate. Money will buy anything I guess. Well, It won't buy my vote. If Obama knows anyhting it had better be to stay out of Florida. He'll be shamed if he shows his face here. This poor blue collar Hillary supporter may not have millions of dollars to "buy" her a victory but I and many others sure have the "vote" needed to CRUSH Obama in November. I'm ashamed to be a democrat but I can change that. Give me a pen.
I LOVE this Ad...... We Americans are awesome when we are UNITED.
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be the VP)
Hi voters. Please support me for President. I look like Goldilocks. I am tuff like Rocky. I will Nuke those pesky Iranians. I will get all those jobs back that Bill sent to China. I will give away free gas on Wednesdays.
Oh screw it. Vote for me cause I am white! White Power!!
Thank you Dr. J
This is the 21st century, you would think by now we would have outgrown our propensity for judging others simply because of skin color or gender.
Let's give Hillary and Bill Clinton the respect they deserved for all the wonderful things they have done for our country and the world! HOW ABOUT ALL THE SHAME THAT BILL CLINTON HAVE DONE FOR ARE COUNTRY SHOULD WE GO THARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don^t think that people who are NOT voting for Obama are racists..
They just think that he is not the right candidate to run the country...
It¨s really sad that people have only 2 choices in november...
2 BAD CHOICES...
Say no to Darth Obama. His silver-tongue and empty promises reveal his true nature. Not only can he not win the GE, for my children's sake, I hope he doesn't somehow cheat his way into the White House like he has done with the nomination.
Democrats for McCain in '08.
Moveon.org is the kiss of death.....Obama should shed those whackos
very moving commercial from a staunch republican. What an exciting time and what a great race it will be between Obama and McCain.
I think the regular Fox News comment people are on CNN too.
Maybe they'll learn something new.
Like
OBAMA 2008/2012
the most interested part here is the obama supporters have all but won the nomination but they still cannot get off Clintons back. I honestly have never voted anything but democrat but its the crap on these boards of immature idiots that just might push me to vote for Mccain.
There is something to be said for winning, but there is more to be said for winning graciously and right now all I see is rude and condescending comments about Clinton and her supporters. So much for "bringing people together"
Good stuff.
And another thing...
Obama's not an anti-semite!!
Look at what Bush has done to the Middle East. The war in Iraq has hurt everyone in the region, especially ISRAEL.
The only country who's benefitted from Bush/Cheney's foreign policy is IRAN – our biggest regional enemy! That's what "experience" and "maturity" and "conservative" gets us?
Yes republicans WILL switch and vote for obama in the general. All of them? No. Enough? OH YES
John McCain is out there running in the general election already. The Democrats need to do something to off-set this. Since they can't spend money for the general election while they're fighting a primary battle, it's smart for Moveon.org to do this.
Since when do [R]s have the mental capacity to make good choices? Obama's only hope with [R]s is to target the very top of the [R] intellectual pool, and hope these people realize the tragic mistake they made in electing the current disaster-in-charge into office in 2000 and 2004. But why would anybody who realizes that mistake, and how the [R] party has blindly backed the disaster, still call themselves [R]?
I'm afraid the 'old' [R] party of real conservatives is long gone. What is left is a bunch of partisan right-wing reactionaries who delight in the likes of Rove, Limbaugh, crackpot religious zealots and the like. And the neo-nuggets out here in the voting public don't even realize it.
I have a silver star and bronze star from actions in iraq and I too was a long supporter of the REPUBLICANS , BUT Im for HILLIARY CLINTON not OSMABA who allows people to say GODD DAMM AMERICA how so patriotic
Obama did not cheat to win the nomination. Hillary cheated by trying to change the rules when she was losing. Obama winning by getting more votes.
The irony is sweet because the BS system of proportional allocation is meant to favor the establishment candidate (HRC).
Oh yeah and "winner take all's" not fair either. WE might have a different nominee, but it wouldn't be fair either.
I think your beef, MARC, is with the DNC. Not wit the nominee of your party
LOL, Obama won't even be able to win the democrats vote!!
"MoveOn.org"? Nut bags. Typical endorsment for the biggest liberal in America. Empty suit Obama.
Love MoveOn, but this ad sucks. boooooring.
I think osama will represent the people well. You know people want hilliary to quit because thats the attitudes americans have nowdays. When the tough times come we give up!!! on the other hand the hand hilliary is a figher!!! Their is a small group of winners in america and they fight till the death!!! Its unfortuante theirs more losers than winners in america
moveon.org, John Kerry, michael moore, Ted Kennedy, and others are killing Democratic party with their far left agenda. Obama is another one of those far left bigots...
What we need is some one who is more in the center... McCain or Clinton are the best choice for this country...
Get rid of far left or far right!!!
I will never vote for Obama. Never.
moveorg are a bunch of left-wing activist. theyve hi-jacked the demo time for a third party
Another example is this Independent Republican leaning person (No to abortions, No to higher taxes, NO to gays/lesbians, etc.) will likely vote for Obama. I am almost thinking that Obama is a God's Child who will help lead the US in the 21st Century.
However, I have a few suggestions to Obama -
a) Recognize the Global trends of Economy and Endorse FairTax as a way to encourage the Job Creation and Fuel the growth of the 21st Century US economy
b) Invest in Alternate Fuels heavily and eradicate the dependence on Foreign Oil
c) Say no to "Child Murderers". A child is born when conceived. Period. Abortion is equivalent to killing Children. Do not support that. Not in America, please!.
Thanks, Mr. President Obama
WAKE up John Smith READ our constitution and you will find that the people aren't voted in on popular vote they are elected by the ELECTORAL college and wake up and smell the coffee. Obama does not win states that he can carry in the GENERAL election (ohio!!). The states that he wins in the primarys are states that will fall republican in the GE. Google George Mcgovern and see the striking similarties.
PLEASE LISTEN
Hiliary 08
ANON,
How is she going to fund an independent run? Do the Clinton supporters plan on backing her because as it stands right now, Clinton supporters talk big but why don't you have enough faith in her to support her campaign? I'm just curious about that.
You do realize that Hillary has a lot of money in her campaign trust that can only be used in the GE right? Also as a side note. Have you ever wondered where Obamas money is coming from? How much have you given? How many people do you know that have contributed? I can tell you where a LARGE portion of Obamas money has come from. The CITY OF CHICAGO. Contracters with government contracts. Democratic party operatives from CHICAGO. Small businesses in CHICAGO. In other words the CHICAGO MACHINE (look it up). Chicago has a vast history of ghost payrolls, political hirings, nepatism and contracts in exchange for campaign financing. If you want to vote for Obama that's fine. It's your right as an american but do your homework. I am actually divided on this. As an American I want Hillary to win as an Illinoisan I want Obama to win. It would be nice for all 50 states to pay for this corrupt political machine as opposed to only Illinois. I HOPE Hillary wins if Obama wins he is out of Illinois and that's the CHANGE.
Move on . org
Remember that, the democrats are divided in half, you endorsed one half.
As for the other side that you did not endorsed, it doesn't matter what kind of ad or how many you have outhere, Hillary supporters like me am not going to vote for Obama,so are many of my friends and family.
The division has been enhanced by people like you, the biased media, the so called superdelegates, the daily attack from the Obama backers or supporters.
To Freida NYC:
I just wonder what makes you so confident that you can actually represent all "US Women." You sound just like HRC. Sad.
Get real people! WISE UP! People seriously considering shifting from dems to McCain because of these blogs are either under the age of 15 or republicans stirring the pot that is brewing trouble. If you think that there are only dems writing in these blogs you've just dropped a lot of IQ points. You are being played.
For the very FEW Clinton/Obama supporters who are really are spewing nonsense and division this is merely the dynamics of the vanquished and the victors. The victors do their victory dance in the faces of the vanquished, and the vanquished criticize everything and anything but their candidate (with such nonsense as conspiracy, Fl and MI not be seated is a fix, Obama stole the elections (by having more people vote for him), etc. etc.). This is what happens in tribal sports not when choosing the future of your country.
Grow up!
