With CNN and MSNBC so in love with him and constantly telling their viewers what a winner he is, with his sexist remarks glossed over while the slightest hint of racism is blown out of proportion, what he's won in this primary so far has been handed to him. He's going to be completely dumbfounded when the day comes that he does have to fight for something. Now the media is telling us that if Sen. Clinton cannot unify the party that he's divided, it will be she who will be at fault if he loses in November. This gets more absurd by the minute. Obama hasn't had to fight yet; that's for sure.

Just do your homework. He has the experience, temperment, and judgement to lead this country out of the hole the current set of politics has dug for us. Do everyone a favor: Stop the hate and start the research. Obama is not the horrible person some people make him out to be. He has what it takes to be the President.

He clearly knows that Senator Obama is the presumptive nominee and the one who understands the subtleties to being an effective leader. Obama leads in all categories and Hillary’s false claim of popular vote is ridiculous, even if you seat the delegates they way she wants them she is still behind in popular vote by over 100,000 people. Hillary supporters (mostly uneducated and uniformed) please!; Barack is easily the most electable democratic candidate in the party. Obama's so called inexperience lead to him making good judgment and not following the crowd. He voted against a false-unethical war that has ultimately crippled our economy, decimated our military, increased oil prices and countless soldiers’ lives. Why don’t bitter Hillary supporters get that through their thick skulls? Here’s a question for the Cafferty files. How would the founding fathers (not John Adams) fill knowing that when our constitution was written, Africans were considered to be 3/5ths human.

She can have students hand picked to ask predetermined questions during college visits, and she can lie about getting shot at in Bosnia, and you will still vote for her. She can even change the rules, or try, in the middle of the ball game, and that is OK too. But if she loses fair and square and asks you to vote for Obama, you would rather vote for McCain. lol ... good enough to vote for as the leader of your country, not good enough to listen to. Funny ... he leads the popular vote. He has won more states. He has more superdelegates. He has the backing of many more prominent politicans and others. But Hilary is more electable? That makes alot of sense. You should be politicians yourselves or giving your expert opinions in a studio somewhere instead of posting on CNN.com.

Not only are you doing the country a disservice, and voting in more war, more of a bad economy, and more of a suppression of your rights, but giving up your vote is a disservice to all those who can't. So please, DEMOCRATS IN '08.

Obama is as graceful as anybody can be. This is what happens when a woman does not run a campaign on her own merit. New Yorkers may take note of their senator for what she really stands for them.
