Regarding "Puerto Rico"– It's great to hear at least one candidate pronouncing it correctly. Barack Obama gets it right. Not H.Clinton or any of the "Talking Heads" or so called expert analysts have done their homework. It's Not "Porto Rico folks".

He's running an inspired campaign – has surrounded himself with exceptionally creative and talented generals – and will clearly run things the same way as Commander in Chief.

Is that a picture of Obama saluting...?

Masterful!

It certainly takes a long time to get a comment moderated when it's not pro Obama...4+ hours???

Battleground State? McCain won't even come close to getting my state. You'll see about as many republican votes for Ron Paul.

a bit presupmtive, eh?

God Bless the people that are now awake and have Clear vision.

God Bless America and continue leading your children !!!!!!

We have screwed up bad feilow Dems, this guy is slimey and we may be stuck with him. Write Senator Clintons name in. We do NOT want him in the White House even if we have to suffer McCain for 4 year.

He's going to team up with his wife Michelle? How touching...why not take Wright and Pfleger along? He would probably be doing himself a tremendous favor by leaving that wife at home..but we need her to keep talking so we can finally get Hillary nominated!

Go Barack, Go!

. . . and by the way, , , nice suit. You fit it well. I’m happy to see you threw on some spring colors.

Go Barack, Go!!

. . . and by the way, , , nice suit. You fit is well. I’m happy to see you threw on some spring colors.

i was a clinton supporter untill Hillary used underhanded tactic its time to move on and support the dem. party. George bush stole the country last election,Is hillary tring to do the same this election.its time for all snakes to move on.

- Go OBAMA – waiting for you to become the nomination for president!

OBAMA – 08!

Michelle Obama herself said that she would have to think about voting for HRC, were Clinton the nominee of the democratic party.

How then do all the Obama supporters get off blogging that all the HRC supporters should back Obama? Why do you think we owe you all any unity, when clearly you do not believe the reverse? If Michelle needs to think about the worthiness of the other dem, believe me...so will all the HRC supporters.

You can forget the support of any true democrat. We will vote our conscience and vote for the best candidate (HRC) and against the worst candidate (Obama).

I strongly believe that Obama will win the democratic party elections, and I hope he will be elected president as well.

I really hope that the democrats choose a winner between today, when the DNC rules committee makes a final decision on FL and MI, and the end of the primaries on June 3rd. Superdelegates need to come forward and support the front-runner at that time, and math so far says that it will be Barack Obama.

I strongly believe that Obama will win the democratic party elections, and I hope he will be elected president as well.

By the way, I was once Hillary Clinton's supporter, but after her behavior in this presidential campaign I have experienced deception after deception.

The whole world is looking at these elections; USA desperately needs a new image abroad.

Go Obama! Keep up the good job. We all love you and believe in you. We will claim victory finally on tuesday. Sorry HRC, go back to New York or rally behind Obama, if you still want to be his VP.

when you play by the ruels, sometime it get hard and seen like you are drowing BUT-– keep playing by the ruels doing what the ruels agree and you and your party will shing because i believe that our father in heaven are looking down. now in this race you got to be carefull what you ssay about the father. when this country was build on the father. OBAMA----NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE THE MAN ----–YOU WILL BE THE ONE -so keep running by the ruels and understand that people will come around when all of this mess get behind us.i am for you and so many peoples here in FLORIDA. keep your head up and never hold your head down unless you are picking something up you are on the high road and never forget that. WE LOVE YOU MR. O---------------–

I doubt people will simply trade the right-wing dingbat Bush for the left-wing nut case, Obama.

We are ready for change, but won't repeat the same mistake of electing a cocky, boastful, mocking, dismissive inexperienced and under qualified elitist to the presidency.

What an EXCITING moment in the history of our great country!!!! Obama embarking on a historic journey into the doors of the White House as our next PRESIDENT of the USA!!!!!!! We've waited a very long time for Camelot to come home.......welcome Barack Obama!!!!!!

A good move by the Obama Campaign!

I RSVPed on his site, but apparently there are no tickets and it's just first come first serve.

I waited with a ticket for over 3 hours in February. Am I supposed to camp out for 24 hours beforehand? Anyone else going - how early to you plan to get there?

and when does Obama get blessings from his old pals Rev Wright and Father Michael Pfleger ?

Very nice message, Obama!

Great idea. Great job.

go boy, you're the best. take your good works to the white house and bring our boys home from Iraq. you're a gift to us.
God bless America

Seems to me that Senator Obama does know how to play hard ball.
He just does it as a gentlemen. Refreshing...

keep going forward the almighty God is with youi

Mr President. We all know the GOP shake in their shoes anytime they hear your name. But do you have to rub it in this way.

This is all going to end in very bad taste and the whole process is going to make the USA look even worse than ever.

The DNC will pander to HRC as most of those "high up" in the DNC did not expect or want Obama to be the nominee. At the time, no one was worried 'cos HRC was ahead. Now those in power in the DNC see the FL and MI case(s) as one last chance to help HRC over the top, which is what was "planned" and "expected" all along – her being the nominee that is.

Somehow, HRC is going to be "given" the nomination in spite of being beaten and it'll all be made to look "right" and "legal" following a new interpretation of the "rules".

Obama is the USA's best hope to move forward and from the brink of falling into a very dark period but he'll be ousted by the more "powerful" and the world will look on and groan and laugh (maybe) and loose even more respect for a once all-powerful nation.

Oh how the mighty fall. Not just Clinton, McCain, Obama but the USA as a whole.

Sad, but the whole world still looks on with a little hope and faith.

hang in Barack.! it is now amatter a few days .
Obama 08!

there r all going to be upset with you now, watch your back there will be comming after you now with a lot of attacts on you.

just keep doing what your doing.

Senator Obama should have stood on top of Mt. Rushmore and explained what happened to the tenants in the housing project in Chicago who froze their behinds off because his buddy Rezko did not pay the gas bills. Or better yet, he should stand in front of his mansion in Chicago and explain how Rezko helped him get it..........

Good thinking.Your campaign is unique.
OBAMA 08

And I will be there! MN for Obama!

I do not trust obama

Wonder if he's going to bring Rev Wright, Minister Flegler, Mr. Rezko, and all his other cronies?

This man isn't fit to lead our country!!!

Hillary '08 &'12

Im sorry barack hussain obama, if you will be the nominee, we cant support you. I hope you will lose in november.

OBAMA.S PASTOR PROBLEMS GROWING WITH THE MICHAEL FLEGER PRIEST FLAP THE OBAMA'S CHURCH.

Mr. Obama, you rock. Now go get them tiger
OBAMA (2008 -16)

I support the democrats and have no favourites, but thing the should be a winner soon unless it will destroy the unity of the party. It will get to a position when the domocrats which democrats wont be able to resolve fairly in the eyes of all.

Barrack Obama will score a huge victory over mcCain on 4/11/08. He will be a great American President non as been since JFK.
Will Americans be crasy enough to choose Hilary as their democratic Nominee after what she has demonstrated over the past 6 months, viz the following to name a few:
1. Florida & Michigan: She signed up to penalize states for breaking Rules and repeated it after winning New Hampshire primary, i.e. when she was leading the delegate count. Didn't she know then about what she is now saying? Doesn't that worry Americans what type of President she will turn out to be? Think hard, think again, you voters in Puerto Rico, S Dakota & Montana. Send her a message what you think of her.
2. Hilary lied , for a fact, that she faced a hail of cross fire on her peace mission to Bosnia. Can Americans accept Liar to be their President? If you do, then you shouldn't complain ever if she turns out to be a Bill Clinton Plus, worse than George Bush. Then even God cannot help America. By the way, if we are to believe Bill Clinton that Hilary misspoke due to tiredness after a late night, how in the world would Americans expect her to answer that 3am call? Bill Clinton to the rescue? Didn't you get lies, lies and lies from this guy ? remember?
3. Hilary repeated the reminders on RFK , not once but said it 4 times. This is no slip but intended to convince suspected 'Fence sitters amongst the Uncommited Super-Delegates'. Imagine the idea she is throwing out to all those 'crazy guys' of the likes of Sirhan Sirhan, and there are plenty of them in the USA. Just recollect the numeruous shootings oevr the past 3 years. This act alone is unforgivable and all demos participating in the next 3 primaries should vote their displeasure of her act, and remind all future candidates that this type of dirty politics must face the wreath of the people.
4. Hilary has said that Obama can win the GE'08 at one of the last Clinton/Obama debate. She now says not likely. Do Americans still believe her? My gosh, is anyone uncertain about how big a victory the Demo Party will win come 4/11/08, no matter who the candidate is.?
Come on Democrats, surely Hilary's often repeated claim that hard working white Americans will not vote for Obama is tantamount/ attempt at making it a reality in the event she loses, and/or blackmail the Super-Delegates to choose her. Playing a Racist card is putting the race relations decades back and no politician should be allowed to use it to succeed in their political ambitions.

God Bless America,

Florida and Michigan proved that politicans do not need to spend money on advertising to know how to vote. All of Florida's and Michigans's votes should count. The News Media does a good job of informing people about the politicans. Take credit.

Thank You, Jim Carroll Internet Free Press

Good for you Obama! By doing this, you will make us supporters think of you when the RNC has their convention at the same site. Make sure it is a rousing finale so that those who are uncommitted and your supporters as well as Hillary's supporters who will come into our fold will think of a democrat when the Repugnicans have their convention there. Woot!!

Obama/Sebelius '08!

Remember the name Hillary Clinton, Barack. That is the candidate you continue to diss by pushing her out of the way.
Remember the name Hillary Clinton, Michelle. That is the candidate you say can't run her own house, so how can she be expected to run the white house. She had 8 years in the white house and did very well as a respected first lady, may I remind you.
As an american, I am the one who is worried about what might eventually end up in the white house.

OBAMA you relly are pitififul. You send some one like Rep. Wexler to present your cause to the DNC Committe with such a ridiculous proposal that the delegates be split in half tnd say this will bring party unity. Think again. I hope you can win with what you get. Because without Hillary you will get nothing. Wexler is an idiot.

Go away, oh arrogant one from Chicago. You are not presidential material.

Go get 'em Barack! We've got your back. Take it to the repubs!

Gee, I wonder why he's so confident. Did anyone SEE that crowd that gathered for him in Portland, Oregon. Obama why don't you just have a pre convention in front of the White House tomarrow and we can all show up and drag George W. out into the streets!

"Mission Accomplished 2".

Since admitting this race is not over by going to Puerto Rico and campaigning in South Dakota and Montana, Obama will once again start a general election ignoring Clinton. If he can't bully the opponent out before election day, like he did in Chicago, he aim to marginalize Clinton. Continuing the saga of disrespect, division by belittleing and negativity. There is nothing left of the Obama pillars of change, briding the divide and hope. The more we learn about Obama, the more we dislike him; Obama has become what he is – a Chicago politician.

If we agree the popular vote is a tie, then I see no reason why superdelegates should gamble the election on Obama. He ran the most negative campaign and should not be rewarded for it. Clinton has to stand up to the bully, if anyone can it's her.

AWESOME !!!!!!

OBAMA / HAGEL 2008

Senator Obama is one of the most disrespectul, divisive,corupt and fraudulent politicians that I have seen in my 61 years on this earth. You are as "cute" as a button and you will pay for your actions and screwed up attitudes. I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS AND MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!!!

HILLARY, 08

I'm a Floridian, and I think DMC should seat them all or non of them. If not McCain will be the next president.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR Obama, AND I'M NOT ALONE.

I'll be there!

08AMA!

Obama needs to tell John McCain to go back to Iraq and get a correct count of troops before he tries to teach him anything.

Obama all the way to White House. OB 08

Who are you people kidding. Minnesota is not a swing state. It is about as blue as you can go and very liberal . It will easily go Obama. I don't know why you would want to convince people that it really means something except to bolster Obama's failing popularity with women and the blue collar white vote. What a ploy . How low can cnn stoop.

Obama, sounds like you are going to be Bushwacked not by George, but by Hillary and her 13. She has 13 voting members on the board and he had 8, except that one of those is not allowed to vote as he is from Florida. They will try to change the rules here at the end by 180 degrees. Sounds like McCain might win this election.

Who cares.... Once he steals the nomination i truely hope that all Hillarys supporter will stand be hind McCain. Four Years of McCain will show the DNC and the witch Polosi they made the screwed up big time. I hope Polosi is voted out of office for good. All she does is look in a mirror and see how her botox is working. Why dont you look out your window and see that you have done nothing to make things better in this country since the dems have taken over cap hill.

Yes its time for a change and that change is Hillary not Noboma.
Let Unite Hillary supporter and show the DNC they messed up and vote the old man into office for four years.

what about all of us in michigan who went to the polls to vote but could not because our canidate's name was not on the ballot.. hold it over or it should not count.. stop changing the rules... we teach our children that they must play fair and follow the rules... what about our presidents????

Hillary supporters do NOT want to see a black man in the White House!!!They prefer to destroy this party,this country,before they see a black man leading the country!!!If OBAMA doesn't become the president of the US in 2008,we will regret it forever,and God will punish us for stopping his will,his great son OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!God bless America!!Everyone that reads this will never forget it!!!!

Anyway he still not getting my vote Obama really the racist candidate at this time, in his mouth said he going to united American but the real thing
is he's divider and his is the worst President than Bush too. Either Hillary
or McCain is the better President.

Did I miss some news ...I thought no ONE won the nomination yet!!! Obama needs to wait until ALL of the votes are counted...Voters do not buy your tickets yet ...

I think Obama has been very composed during the end of this campaign season. I've noticed that recently he's speaking very highly of Clinton while she has not been so gracious. She's only ben saying that she's a better candidate than him.

It's very symbolic that Obama is wrapping his primary campaign up at the site or the Republican convention. I'm sure the symbolism isn't lost on anyone. This general election the Democrats are going to take back states they've lost in recent years, and they're going to take states that have been traditionally Republican. And Barack is wrapping his campaign for the nomination up in Republican "territory".

I'm sure the Republicans will have the place scrubbed clean before they let any of their members in the place. Wouldn't want the Democratic cooties to somehow cause hardcore Republicans to vote for Obama.

Senator Barack Obama just looks like the nominee that he will be after Tuesday for the Democrats. He is showing a great leadership for the country come this fall and showing much respect for Senator Hillary Clinton and her campaign to bow out gracefully. I cannot say enough how he has really exempified strength and judgment within this Party during this primary season.

Obama will not win the popular vote, so he will not be the nominee. I just don't understand the arrogance of Obama. Hillary will win the popular vote and the superdelegates will not vote against the will of the people. The people have spoken and they want Hillary Clinton as their nominee.

Minnesota always gets it wrong – I know I"m from Minnesota.

I listened to Wexler this Am at the Rules Committe saying "he's the champion for the voters, him and Obama"......
Ya right !
THEN WHY DID NOT OPPOSE A REVOTE OF PRMARY IN FLORIDA AND MICHGIAN. Typical lying Politicians. That's when they lost my entire family.
Obama used rules to eliminate opponents in Chicago election too – check it out ! He's sneaky.
Joan B
Minneapolis, Mn

Destroy the republicans, McBush will lose. democrats 08!!!!

smart move,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Now, if only the Dems will immediately recognize what the Republicans saw clearly long ago: OBAMA is the one the people, the Nation and the world want as the President of the USA!

He ought to have it in his home state of Illinois so that he could also be performing his work as the junior senator from that state.

Atta Boy !!!! Go after that war-monger where it will hurt.

I love this man's instincts! What perfect symmetry!!!! I am confident that the people of the great state of Minnesota will not be fooled by a washed up yes man who wants four more years of the same. I'm sure that Minnesotans will joint the rest of America in their unbridled support of the next President of the United States, President Obama. Boy – that just really looks pretty, doesn't it? President Obama!

Still looking for a rent a preacher who will not bring the chickens home to roost.

All you lucky St Paul people! Hope you all have a memorable time!!
That will be a HUGE night – ENJOY IT !!

The best thing that could happen for America would be to find out why Obama forced Rezko to help him purchase a Chicago mansion. Either this was a bribe or blackmail. No rational person could think otherwise.
Neither Obama or Rezko are honest people.

Yes, as he limps to the finish line. Write in Hillary!

I'm a Republican....and I support Obama – he is right for the country in 2008

GOD bless u obama, u are going to get nomination.

You have to love it. While Clinton is creating all this drama, Obama is taking it right to them. Those Clinton dead-enders most be soap-opera fans, someone needs to clue them in that we are trying to vote a president into office.

He is such a pompous *&!

OBAMA RUELZ!!!!!

HILLARY WILL LEAD US TO FAILURE IN NOVEMBRE!

Go get 'em!! Unity '08

If I lived and voted in the two States in question,you can bet your farm,that I would be getting myself a lawyer,because I would see to it that my vote counted,and I did not vote for the golden boy and I live in the Great state of Ohio!!

GOD SPEED PRESIDENT OBAMA !

Barack Obama ... because Intelligence MATTERS!
Barack Obama ... because Honesty MATTERS!
Barack Obama ... because Integrity MATTERS!

It has been a long haul; but to Senator Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama and all the staff I believe that you have done an awesome job. The Campaign has been honorable and respectful. Your campaign team has managed our donations with respect for us hard working people that contributed what little we have and I appericate that. On to the Convention.

I can't wait to be done with this and see Barack accept the nomination!

It sounds like a good idea on the surface. However, I think you need to realize the Clinton's are not people. They haven't been for quite some time. They will continue to fight you to the bitter end and they care nothing about the consequences or the party. This is long from over due to the Clinton's history of creating animosity and division with everyone. Remember during the Clinton presidency we LOST control of the house and senate. This is what the Clinton's bring. DIVISION.

Go Obama!

This is great! Everytime they show the Xcel Energy Center during the Republican convention everyone will think of Obama. Now that's plannng ahead.

WE don't want Obama for President!

Hang in there Obama, this is near the end. Hillary will be out next week. There is a God.

Go sit down somewhere Barack Obama. You are not going to become the next President Of The United States!!!

I Bet His Turnout Is Going To Be Bigger!

Hopefully this all will come to an end, and the party will reunite.

Montana is a battleground state (too small to matter by Hillary's strategy), that Obama has a chance to take in the GE. Obama's 50-state strategy means he has infrastructure in every state. It means the Republicans will have to contest in areas where they don't want to lose local elections and strech their resources outside their core strategy. THIS is SMART politics, unlike the personal expediency of the Clinton camp. Obama's strategy helps ALL DEMS in the GE, on federal, state and local levels. GO OBAMA !!!

The more interesting Minnesota stories are the tanking of Al Franken, and the Women DFL caucus leader from Minnesota who is beginning a HIllary write-in campaign.

Sen Obama, I am hoping and praying that there will be a huge thunder and lightening storm over the MSP airport that will prevent you from landing and send you flying back to Chicago.

Watching the DNC as its going on now....the Florida Democrats representatives are truely a disgrace. Disorganised to the bones and thats why Republicans are ruling there and deserve to do so. This is not about HRC or Obama..this is about lazy politicians who knew all along the likely disaster but did nothing but TALK and TALK!! SHAME on Floridas Democratic State Reps.

America is with you all the way to the White House!

OBAMA '08!

This is hardcore. I can get behind a man with that kind of boldness. Dems' gonna own '08.

It's about time the campaign gets going. Heeeres the next President of the United States, Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!

My prayers and heart are with you Barack/Michelle Obama. I will not let the Clinton nor McCain campaigns persuade me not to vote for you. The truth has been reveal about the Clintons and McCain.

Obama 2008

Will Obama have Al Franken on the stage with him?

But, Obama hasn't won . . . . . . , and it's not clear he will.
