If I could be guarenteed the words he speeks were his own I might believe he was smart. I believe he has speech writers puting words in his mouth that his handlers have suggested.
He is a graduate of Harvard, yet there is no paper trail. He never wrote anything. That is by design, nothing to pin down his philosophy. that's by design. Just like voting "present" again that is by design.
Wake up America! This punk is as dangerous to our way of life as Adolph Hitler, only more so.

still marching up to Zion! Go Barack, go! The Lord be with you all the way!

As a true-blue American, I can easily say that we are so desperate for change as a country that if the current Mars mission found a Martian to bring back to Earth to become U.S. president, I'd vote for it!!!

Luckily, we have Barack who not only offers a needed change from the status quo, but who is also qualified by his intelligence, unique aptitudes/gifts, and cumulative experience. Yes, because he's human he's not perfect, but Barack is at least willing to admit his foibles and missteps and return his focus to the greater good, which is for the betterment of the country.

Speaking of Mars, by the way — Mars is not too far away for Bush's retirement. Certainly we could tie him to a rocket and get him there! Maybe from Mars he can finally get a perspective of the damage he and his corporate rot-brained cohorts have wreaked on this precious planet with their unspeakable stupidity and greed.

Hi mr aware,iam forigien woman i love to have president USA 3rd
term bush YOU KNOW WHAT I am talking about mr aware.

Well, I've lived the last decade in AZ and NM, and McCain isn't all that popular out west anymore…Richardson is though. I'm pretty sure that Obama can turn NM; not so certain of Nevada, however. Obama IS certainly a politician, though not at all a "typcial" one. McCain, however, lacks the intellectual dynamism and vision needed to lead our country through the difficult national and global changes that are coming. His age and health are a genuine concern as well; this office ages people 5 to 10 years for every one. I'm worried that McCain, if elected, will die in office, making his VP selection just as important,and potentially troubling, as his own nomination. I'm actually gratified by Obama's decision to turn down public funding; by utilizing his base, rather than the government-limited "public" funds, Obama has access to considerably more resources than his Republican counterpart. Further, since his campaign contributors are primarily small donors (nearly 2 million of them!), and he refuses lobbyist contributions, his campaign is one of the most public and democratically financed campaigns in history. I look forward to the general election; it should be quite something.

Why so many Muslims supporting Obama, when he treats their religion like a disease?

Senator Obama is our best hope for president. He needs to keep talking about all of the issues that are important to all of us. The ruthless politican you are talking about wants to keep us in a war for the next 50 to 100 years. I care about my grandchildren's future, I want them to have one!

@ swannie:

I don't think you have any message for the people. Why not vanish from this room, and let sensible people who want to see a great and meaningful change in US history discuss sensible issues.

Hello Barack Supporters,

I'm back after just a couple of days of semi-vacation!

It doesn't seem like I've missed very much though. Just thought that I will share some info with you, though you may already be aware of this.

Barack is going to pursue ALL 50 STATES in his bid for the White House! NO STATE IS GOING TO BE LEFT OUT. He is going to make sure that he is known in all States. This is going to be an AWESOME PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. And believe me, I am going to be following it right through to the "BITTER" end. I am hoping that Barack wins by a landslide!

YES YOU CAN, YES YOU WILL!

GOOD LUCK BARACK (AND HILLARY) SUPPORTERS! We are rooting for you!

It just simply amazes me how so many people have a better opinion of McSame than most of us in His own state..

That is great! Go on Obama!

McCBush will loose in November……LOL

Jan, I think your first 3 words sum up what all Bush supporters think:

"I can't think"

213 days until the Constitution will become relevant again!

2,475 since 9/11 and Bin Laden has NOT been caught "Dead of Alive"

You can take these states.Go Obama this is not about red blue its about the amercia people and change is need it .Obama08

Swannie- he didn't make the logo for the purpose: "to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof." It's just a logo- get over yourself.

Half Honkey all Donkey!
Barack the Vote 08!!!!

ATTN: Swannie & aware

Where have you guys been for the past 7 years and half as our country has been runned to the ground?
Now we hear you guys critisized someone who haven't even had a chance to run the country for a single day.

Aware, what is yourdefinition of presidential material? SUGGESTION: Has to be smarter than …say… BUSH? I thing he qualifies

Swannie: You must really thing people in "so called" Red States are stupid enough (maybe some like you are) to just vote party line regardless of how the country is runned…. You keep that train of thoughts and you are in for a hudge surprise in NOVEMVER.

Hey give the guy a break, I think he'll make a great president can't do worse than what we got…….
ps..loose the seal, it's a dump idea

Is anyone as excited to shutup the ignorant and fear mongers as much as I am? It will be a beautiful day in this country when the neverending negative right in this country is defeated and burying us for 8 years

Yea, I'll pay attention to McCain as soon as he stops flip-flopping and show he is competent. Intelligence > experience

Obama 08/12!

With President OBAMA

The Democrats will win by a landslide.

Obama/Clinton 08 & 12

Wow!!! It seems as though Republicans on this blog are either JEALOUS or down right SCARED of the proepect of Barack Obama winning this thing. You guys sure are complaining a lot now that little Johnnie McCain is losing. Well you should be afraid….

Be Afraid… Be Very Afraid….

I live in Nevada and everyday I hear people talking about Obama in such a positive way. The people out here are for new and exciting… which bodes very well for Obama and not so much for McCain.
Nevadans will surely go Obama's way.

When giving good direction to our youngsters, do we illustrate with poor examples or purposeless goals? Then why would a nation want to remain with a non productive status quo by continuing down an erronous path. History is replete with need for progressive changes. And, if you don't adapt, you get run over—quickly!

The people in Arizona have probably had a belly full of John McCain. McCain will be lucky if Obama doesn't carry Arizona in the general election. McCain's age is certainly becoming a key factor in this election and it's McCain's owm missteps that are bringing his age front and center.

McCain try to return by yourself in irak and about your wife does she still steal DRUGS ? this is bad for you MCCain i will never vote for you cause i oppose war and oppose drugs. OBAMA 08-16

SWANNIE –

Oh so true! It's like little boys riding in plastic black-and-white cars — they like pretending they're cops.

Like you, I took Latin in high school — and "vero possumus" does NOT mean "Yes we can."

Politicians in GENERAL have truth problems. STOP thinking that McCain is perfect and hasn't had his own share of issues…Get real!!!

Obama is honorable and I trust him. He will win the red states.

Go Obama - I trust you!

Guys, if you have personal problems with Barack, may be you should tell us, people who criticize Barack here, whether they don't know him and what he wants to do for the country, or they're just bitter against him.

If we look at the the ideas and the policies we have to implement for the next 5 or 10 years for our country, Barack is 95% the guy for us, there's no doubt.

McCain't is tied with Bush-Cheney on everything, every issue, how can he claim to be an agent of change when he copies almost all his policies from Bush-Cheney ? This guy is a joke, he's completely out of touch, he talks about Iraq when he can't even make the difference between the Suni and the Shia !!

People really need to look at the policies to decide this election, vote according to the issues, not according to your feeelings because feelings are exactly what got us into the Iraq mess that McBush wants to perpetuate for as long as 100 years…

ALL YOU ignorant anti-obamas need to really sit down, do some reading and look up each word you read in the dictionary and encyclopedia to understand them!!

OBAMA 2008!

All I have to say here to an ignorant person is…."JAN" Be quiet. You have no clue what OBAMA has done nor any clue to his accomplishments because you never read anything to understand it. You and others like you need to sit down, shutup and drink some coffee to sober your slow, ignorant minds… only the educated ones that are non-racist or openminded understand that OBAMA is the ONLY ONE running who should be in office!

OBAMA SUPPORTER!!!!!!!!!!

June 21st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

I can't think of a single reason why any voters in a red state, Democratic or Republican, would want to vote for Obama. People in blue and red states are finally paying attention to him and seeing for who and what he is: a typical politician who will do and say anything to get elected and one with no real accomplishments or record to back him up.

Wow, a day where the Obama haters are out.
Well, in my humble opinion, New Mexico is almost certain to go to Senator Obama.
Nevada is a toss up between Senator McCain and Obama.
Colorado is already moving to blue.
IT's still early though, let's see what it looks like 90 days from now. That's a much better gauge.

The pundits will never stop taking, Keep wishing States are painted red or blue, while Obama takes his message across the nation. Soon he will be leading with about 25 points, just watch you will see. and on the tuesday first week of November he will win the election.

a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

there was no false impression as he is a candidate for the united states presidency, only a moron wouldn't be able to figure that out. like you.

Swanie, you need to go take latin again, and it don't take a rocket scientist to look at the logo and tell that it is not identical to the Presidential Seal. What people must remember is that Obama is a Harvard Law Graduate who majored and taught Constitutional Law, he of all people would not break the constitutional law.

Remember you have only one vote!

Go get um! Obama

So how would you rate Bush Mr. Aware ?? There is absolutely nothing in his history that suggests that. You are just grasping at straws to find reason not to vote for him. Good luck. lol lol. McCain will put our country in a state of even further disrepair.

Great swannie, you just proved even an idot has a brain.

I am for Obama all the way!

I believe if macsame win this election the right wing crap of the repugs will be all ready to messup this contry again. I also believe god is good, he will not allow that to happen to this great contry. OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

I am voting for Obama!

What are you talking about. I am an elderly white woman and I would not think of voting for anyone other that Obama. He inspires people. I have not seen someone with this grasp as to what people want in a leader since JFK. WE WILL NOT GET COLD FEET

Hey Swannie,
Not to question your knowledge but I'll put my money on Obama. he did teach American law at Harvard. So I'm sure he knows that and then some. anyway you slice it… "Yes We Can!"

Sorry Obama. You cannot consider our states including Nevada as blue state. This time California will vote for John mcCain even if you visit here ten times. Nevada is a red state and it will always remain so. When we have people like Reid (Senate majority leader) in Nevada, you cannot expect Barack to get electerd. Barack, Go Home.

This is the ugly part of politics. Obama didn't invent the game but right now he knows what he's up against so he has to fight fire with fire otherwise the GOP and 527's would make mincemeat out of him.

Yes we Will!!!!

The Obama logo is good enough to be on doormats. John's immigration guest worker bill with Kerry was a good one. Might want to visit that one again. After all McCain understands the bill more than the self proclaimed President Amabo.

Bush policy. they money is better than dollar,nuclear waepon building
Iran getiing more strong than any body this world,china has more money than this country while MR aware your hated real democaracy.
I HOPE AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND MCCAIN IS FAVARABLE
3RD WORLD BECOUSE THEIR INTREST WHILE USA BUSY THEM SELF IRAQ WAR.

The president should be smart with book sense and common sense. Obama has both and McBush has neither. If you like Bush and you want more of the same then vote for McCain. If you're sick of Bush and want a positive change then vote for Obama. It's that simple.

I think the last 2 elections make it clear that New Mexico is more in play than many so called swing states. I think he should try his hardest to swing it to his column.

Go Obama!

Some of the people who post of these sites are so hateful towards Obama. They'll do anything to ruin a good thing for this country and leave us with the same old politics and the same old politician. These people don't realize that McCain has lied on several issues but as long as he is the war hero candidate, they can look past those problems and only focus on Obama's. Fortunately, the people in New Mexico and Nevada are fair minded people and they'll focus on the issues. Once they realize that Obama is on their side, they'll vote Obama and those states will turn blue. Polls suggest that he has already made a lot of headway in those states. So, Smart - yes!! Wise- Yes( I mean he did beat one of the best brand names in American politics), and presidential material - YES, AGAIN!!!!

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA for president…2008!!! YES WE CAN!!!

good luck ; because barack quoted one day the lateeno's polls giving him 19% jump numbers. then congress rep celluar gets on lou dobbs and responds to that claim by saying NOT SO FAST. and then went on to whine and belly ache about lateeno's who are here in droves and that have squatted all over the united states waitng for green cards . and its like if you don't promise us green cards don't come here. every 20 yrs you hispanics do the same ol thing come to the US in droves have anchor babies and demand citizenship. BULLPUDD'N. why can't mexico take care of its own. thats where their allegence is , so why don't all of the meat packing companys relocate to the deep south around the mexican border and start up your meat companys. so the lateeno's can be close to home. OH i forgot they can't because the mexican drug cartels own the southern mexican and united states border . with there join us or die drug mentality. excuse me

Obama has a gift of inspiring people, once the voters get to hear you and know you they will support you, absolutely 100%. Obama for Pres 08

President Obama,
Please hurry up and take office so you can get us out of this mess the republicans have got us into!!

WHAT DID SEN. OBAMA MEAN WHEN HE SAID HIS RACIST GRANDMOTHER WAS A TYPICAL WHITE PERSON?

CNN is the only site i know of that considers new mexico a republican leaning state. latest polls were may 18, and gave obama a lead of 3 points.

Where is CNN getting it's info?

Obamanians—–your Messiah has been hitting you up for money all year and now he's going to hit you again for the next 5 months—-I hope he sucks you dry—

Hey Swanny,

Its not even comparable to the presidential seal. There are about 100 differences and only 3 similarities. What a cry baby.

How about you focus on the torture that the US has been doing, and the unlawful abuses of power by GWB before you start crying about a seal that has been tarnished by GWB. You're a typical Neo-Con!

The new seal doesnt break the law in any way and in now way implies that Obama is president. It says Obama for America!

get it right and stop twisting the facts! McSanity has obviously brainwashed you

John McCain is a George Bush continuation fail policies. We need to get rid of these incompetent leaders like George Bush and McCain in Washington.

Find it funny that we chose a candidate that has to scratch and claw for the voters that the democrat should have no problems with this year. Low income, hispanic, woman, need I say more. As a Hillary supporter who saw how the DNC, with Howard Dean as the leader set this nomination up I think it is laughable how Obama and McCain are even close in this election. Let's see what the media does now to help Obama's campaign since they were part of his team during the primary.

Obama seems to be having a hard time defining himself so the Rep should have an easy time. As an Black American I'm tired of the " I'm the victim" talk.

I am waiting to see Obama make a stand and pick Hillary as his VP to win this thing.

Obama/Clinton 08

Obama's New Logo very nice! Obama is very much Presidential Material. I will tell you what is not Presidential Material BUSH and if any Republicans think we are going to believe that Mcain is different from Bush Not this time! we are not going to buy into the lies of the Republicans because we get it now! we see the Results of the Republicans's Administration failed, failed Policies and just look at the mess of our Ecomomy by the hands of BUSH and we must not elect Mccain because it will be a great horrible misstake for this country. NO Mccain!!!!

It seems as if the presumptive nominee has become the presumptuous nominee by stealing the presidential seal of the United States.

Finally, a western strategy we can win. Kudos to Chairman Dean for laying the groundwork. It seems to me that a western strategy lends itself to Governor Bill Richardson or Governor Janet Napolitano as the obvious choices for running mates or maybe even Senator Patty Murray.

Repub trolls are having a field day in this thread. Swannie, pay attention to the real crimes committed by the current sitting President instead of trolling about Obama. The rest of you trolls need to come up with new material. It gets old, having to wade through the muck to get to intelligent people that have valid view points.

FLIP-FLOP-OBAMA! This man's ARROGANCE is unbelievable! He's saying the same things he's accusing everyone else of. This man is a frightening joke! JOHN MCCAIN - PRESIDENT IN 08!!! REPUBLICANS WILL ROCK ON!!!

Swannie above… go get a life!

Obama's new seal reads… Obama for America! It's doesn't say "President Obama"! And please stop trying to prove you are smart… your comment - you got every word from another blog!

I bet if McSame had been creative and came up with it - then you folks would be celebrating!

Also… his logos and new seal should say alot about him as opposed to McCain's… McCain's logo is just for him and Obama's is for America!

Only strong people get the best jobs! What's Obama suppose to do… run like a whimp.

Say what you want… and thank God many of you are not on his campaign considering that you are not running for president and you are not even good at running your mouth!

While examining a 75 year old Texas rancher, a doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a “post turtle”. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a “post turtle” was. The old rancher said, “When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a “post turtle”. The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just gotta’ wonder what kind of a dumb -ss put him up there.”

I can't spin off the same harsh out-right lies and labels some people put forth about anything and everyone they don't like or agree with.

So I do my best to just read between the lines of what people say.

So I question why would you care if Obama has a pretty little symbol for his campain buttons. Do you really think it makes a difference? Does it really matter!? There are huge problems ahead for this country, why don't you talk and write about those things instead of doing a BIBLIO DRIVE-BY every time Obama puts his shoes on in the morning.

Yes… Nevada and New Mexico… that will gain back the electoral votes he's lost having alienated Florida with insults… "we don't need you, we don't want to hear from you, you should go home and shut up!"

Obama = real hope for change
campaign seal = ingenuity (which the current administrator severely lacks)

McCain = disingenious
flip flopper
polar opposite of himself in 2000
sell out to Bush

Although McCain is an honorable man and truly a patriot for going through what he did, he is very disingenuous. He also appears to be a male chauvinist. As soon as he got back into the states he left his faithful first wife (who was probably worried sick about him) for a much younger, more attractive second one. Typical male chauvinist. I never in a million years thought that the repugnant-icans would nominate an adulterous flip flopper but I never thought that this country would lie its way into war either.

Sounds like another racistloser to me. I wonder whay you and the others out there like you are going to do on Wednesday morning, when you see the result of the election, and see that you have a Black leader who'll wind up being the best President in American History. No more unwarranted wiretaps , No more terrorist acts by our Government. Unilaterally declaring other world leaders evil, then invading their country for no reason whatsoever., Are you afraid of honesty and integrity, in the highest office in this land. I used to be amazed at how afraid caucasian men were that they denied Black men access to so many areas, but now that I see the results of the Black man gaing access ,maybe they were right to be afraid. Blocked from baseball until Jackie Robinson broke through, now some of he biggest names in the game are Black. My all-time favorite, Blacks can not play the Quarterback position, because they can't lead Caucasian men. Today, almost every team has a Black QB or is trying to get one, and let's not forget golf, a Black man now totally dominates that game Obama's going to bring a fresh look at the way things get done,repair the country, and resyore America's perception around the world. There's nothing to be afraid of, he's a brilliant strategist, not many could beat a Clinton, but all the campaign inexperience talk is history.

He stole the nomination.

Greed and being full of himself caused him to fast track himself into the presidency.

No experience required. No track record necessary. Just promises and smiles. Promises that he has already broken.

Obama and the DNC need to face the consequences of their recklessness.

BTW Jan,

In the latest Newsweek poll Obama is up 51% to 36% on McCain.

_____________________________________________________

Hey Jan,

I fixed it for you. You're welcome.

Obama has been the most honest candidate this country has had for President in years. He has admitted his mistakes and has provided tremendous amounts of information on his background–more so than any other candidate I can think of.

By-the-way in the last general election, New Mexico was a "blue" state and wouldn't be much of a surprise in my view. Utah, now there would be a surprise.

I too loved the logo and don't listen to posters about there so called Latin knowledge. I will tell you about Latinos not Latin and I am proud to say that these folks who resemble me are for Obama 78 to 25% in any and all polls. Mc War has offended our troops by not supporting Jim Webbs GI Bill. He does not want our troops to enjoy the same benefit he did? Mc Shame should be more like it. Hillary supporters are coming round and there will be lots of states turning blue. I am predicting a landslide.

GO BARACK GO

YES WE CAN SI SE PUEDE

BARACK AND ROLL

Obama is closer to turning a few red states to blue states and the die hard Republicans are getting nervous. … He is way ahead in a few red states than John Kerry ever was at any point in time…this has got to be a game changer and it will be. Go Obama! Iam fired and ready to go!

Yes, but is McCain any better. He might as well go to the courthouse and change his name to McSame. I was a Republican for a long time but I switched after the ridiculous liberties taken by this administration. Vote for McSame and you sign this country's death warrant.

Obama does have trouble telling the truth. He is also trying to avoid Town Hall Meetings and debates. When he is not given a prepared speech everyone finds out he doesn't know what he is talking about. I hope the media puts pressure on Obama about hiding from debates and town hall meetings with McCain. He sure can't say they have had 20 debates and he doesn't want to debate anymore.

Unite, vote for Obama… and send the message that hate and swiftboating another democrat is the way to win a primary.

I will not sell my soul to this smooth talking liar.

"But geography may also comes into play. Arizona borders both states and is the home state of Obama’s rival, Sen. John McCain. "

If you knew anything about New Mexico/Arizona rivalry over everything from Mexican food to statehood day then being from Arizona probably hurts McCain in New Mexico.

Only fools still believe the hype this snake is peddling.

The devil comes disguised as a man of peace.

The forked tongue gives Obama away.

I hope that money and cheating do not gain you the presidency.

I left the party over the corruption of the primaries.

No installed nominee for president.

The haters held all of America hostage until Obama was given the nomination.

Don't let this injustice stand.

Swannie, the new logo does not break the law as per this excerpt from US CODE: Title 18,713:

"…for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof…"

Obama's logo doesn't show sponsorship or approval by the Gov't of USA therefore it doesn't fall under this law. =)

Us free thinkers in the wild west were rooting for Annie Oakley.

Mocking HRC with your Annie Oakley antics just lost you more votes.

By your hateful mocking, jeering, and cocky swaggering boastfulness will you lose in NOV.

Still for HILL.

An Obama presidency will be good for this nation. So what if those two states don't go blue? It won't mean that he's failed. At least he's bringing his message to all 50 states, and asking EVERYONE to give him a chance. It's good for democracy.

Swannie, You must be one of those people who think you have to wear a flag pin to be loyal. You cant have a middle name like Husein. You must always place your hand over your heart when you sing the star spangled banner. Mostly you are a biggot looking for any insignificant deail to be able to rant and rave against Obama.
In the first place he did not use the Presdental logo!
Your argument has all the strengh of putting someone in jail for printing dollar bills with Micky Mouse on the front. You would call that forgery.

This New Mexican wouldn't vote for Obama unless McCain got arrested for stabbing someone with a dozen witnesses testifying that it happened (and the person was proven to be completely innocent). Obama scares me - he is arrogant and naive, a DANGEROUS combination! Not to mention he lies constantly (NAFTA, public financing….Republicans mainly financed by PACs and lobbyists, just to name the last few DAYS….)

I agree with Jan that Obama does not have that much of experience. However, any good runner generally does not require too much practice before the race. I think, it applies to Obama. He is well educated self-made charismatic man. He can think himself and be a leader of his own. Will not need a second or a third man to make a decision. Obama will make a history in Nov. and will be one the best president of all time.

McCain had at the most a month or so to campaign for the general election and get a running start.. and he has raised a significant amount of money. Obama will need to work hard and catch up to make up for the weeks McCain had over him. I hope he spend every bit of my donation doing so. For the those folks, saying Obama is untruthful, use some common sense or either you are to narrowed minded to understand, the media will judge every one that each of these candidates say, but what we as spectators should do is judge as word the media say.

He's one of those politicians who is actually worthy of our trust. Aware, you are completely misinformed.

OBAMA WILL BE OUR BEST BET AND WITH HILLARY AS VP, THEY CAN'T BE STOPPED. I AM REPUBLICAN AND MY INTIRE FAMILY IS, BUT NOT THIS TIME WE WILL BE DEMOCRATS FOR OBAMA

Obama will carry Nevada by at least 5 percent. The Obamacans are
already screaming for him in Las Vegas. Sorry, Mr. Johnny "mucus" McCain is done. Book it!

Why the arrogant Obama wants to have Clinton to campaign with him after he disrespected her so much in the primaries. He knows that he should not be the nominee and that Clinton is the better and stronger candidate. So he wants to use her to support him in all of his weaknesses he has in his campaign. If I was Clinton, I would tell him to go to hell because he kept saying he can win it all so why does he not try to win it on his own.

Obama is running a racial campaign again like how he did against Clinton accusing her and her husband as being racist. But this will not help in in his race against McCain. I want them to put him in his place and even though I do not want the republicans to win, I would rather McCain over Obama any day. The democrats have really played into the republicans hands by selecting (not electing) Obama to be their nominee and they will regret it in November. Clinton should have been the nominee and she would definitely have won it for the democrats. Anyway, we will say hello to President McCain in November after he whoops Obama.

As an outsider. A significant number of us are waiting for the Americans to do the sensible thing and elect Obama as President. We shall always remember you for this and hopefully the world will have a different direction from the confrontational ways of George Bush. Go AMERICA

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Go Obama do your 50 state thing! Swing them all! People are tired of the Rep. dis - func ' tion - al administration.

I don't know why people bother trashing Obama since in the long run it won't matter he will be the next president. The fact is the support McCain can logically hope to get in November are the people with less than average intelligence. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out 80% anti war, 80% down on economy + McCain 100% war, 100% thinks the economy is doing great!

all you Obama bashers need to focus on why anyone would vote for McCain. the guy is out of touch and can only reinforce the failed policies of George Bush. if you quit trying to smear Obama and truely listen to what the issues really are, it won't take a Rhodes Scholar to see Obama agenda is to overcome the many problems the Republicans have created the last 8 years. America is more than giving tax breaks to the rich. the vast majority of Americans can't afford decent health care and we continue to waste billions on the fruitless war in Iraq. get over it Obama is black. look at the big picture,oh thats right I read where white business men stated they rather hire whites with criminal records and no education rather than blacks with college degrees and no criminal record. that sums it up why you have a problem with Obama.

Barack Obama for President of the UNITED States of America.

–> I support Barack Obama's campaign.

$25 at a time.

Why would America reward complete FAILURE -
Say NO to the GOP in '08 !

VERO POSSUMUS = IN FACT I WANT TO INFLUENCE YOU. Finally one honest phrase from Senator Barack Hussein Obama.

OKAY, WHO'S GOING TO FILE THE NECESSARY PAPERS AND TAKE THIS LAWBREAKER TO COURT?

looks like we got a few people in hear with a lot of hate in their hearts. who cares you took latin in school?? aren't you special. good for you. just chill and let the race play out. ok?

Obama 08

Junior heeds to get his butt back to the Senate and get about 10 years more experience. Then he needs to stop being a socialist.

I do not get it why people would vote Republicon. Gas prices are going wild. House Forcloser is also going wild over the 3 years. There are over 47 million people Uninsure. Republicons are giving huge tax break to oil companies. Rich people are getting richer. Poor people are gettin poor. Republicons hate gay and lesbians and they hate women. They don't care women right to choose. Why do people vote for Republicons??????????????????????????? Did i missed anythink? or you tell me.

Oh so wise, SWANNIE,Your so smart your stupid.We will see wont we.Bet we never see you on here with that name again.Your just another dittohead without a clue.

Operation Chaos = PUMA (Poor Uneducated Miserable Adults)

@ Jess, Colorado Spring; you consider my posting of PUMA as annoying…..Guess what?…..Not only did you read it but, you repeated the slogan :). Republicans and PUMA individuals don't want to talk facts or blog intelligent conversations, they understand rants and believe what has been posted on these blogs. If, I want intelligent blogging, I visit Obama's website.

Guess what Jess, I got you to respond to my blog……..so, it must be working. ROFLMAO

AMERICAN IS FINALLY STARTING TO SEE HIM FOR THE FRAUD THAT HE IS!!!
Gee, why won't he debate McCain? Scared of old Grampa are you obama?? What a clown him and the DNC are.
They think the American people are stupid. Come November they will all be crying and it will be their fault totally.
MCCAIN 08

To (Jan),
It seems you have your brain upside down because you sure don't know anything.

Americans are fed up with president Bush and Republicans. They have destroyed this great nation. We need real change. Obama is the only person who can do this.

The Republicans are trying to pull wool over the face of the majority of Americans, since they can't seem to find real bait for the RELENTLESS OBAMA. Americans would not and never settle for less. The Bush Administration (ably supported by the Republicans) has clearly failed the American People. Lost wars in Iraq, a down economy, a looming recession, Americans are clearing tired of the GOPs and their clear mind games. Five months to November and it’s a shame that McBush (Oh sorry McCain) has clearly refused to debate boiling issues. Rather he would saddle himself with Michelle, Obama been Black, and very luckstre issues. Good enough Americans know better. Not after a miserable 7 Bush Years and an arrogant self seeking Republican Party
You should vote McCain if you're-
Tired of your job and you clearly wouldn't mind been fired
You're of Draft Age, You love War (You're engrossed in XMEN, 3000 and the rest of them) and would not mind been sent to Iran, Syria
You don't mind losing your house
You would not mind at all paying 10 dollar per Gallon (At least your wallet's as filled as Bono's)

Americans know better and so therefore are standing for CHANGE.
Are You?

SIGNED
FIKAYO FOR OBAMA 08!

Senator Obama, just keep on Track and the rest is history!

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama!

Very close contest in both states. Could go either way. Arizona even is not a sure thing for McCain.

The more Obama is badmouthed the more I want him in office…

He's gonna win 'em. ..after all, he's the only viable candidate in the race!!

Wow, I havent seen this much HATE from the right since Clinton was in office. Remember those days people? Back when a man's private sex life was the only bad thing that was worth reporting in America. Even though I won't vote for McCain, I don't hate the man. This is what your party has done for you, so keep on hating, America is waking up finally.
YES..WE..CAN!!!!

THE GUY HAS NO EXPERIENCE.

AMERICA is NOT a LEARNERS-PERMIT for a POLITICIAN and, what ever happened to standing for no "POLITICS as USUAL"?

Jan, I guess we see what we want to see. In Obama, I see the embodiment of the American dream, someone who against overwhelming odds his risen to national prominence due to hard work, intelligence, charisma, and general decency. His policies are reasonable and populist (certainly moreso than McCain's). He opposed the war in Iraq when it was unpopular to do so and promises to bring the troops home and put an end to the money pit that is the Iraq War.

That's enough for me.

Long way to November
Nearly 60% they want to vote for Democratic party In November
But Obama is still under 50%
Some thing is wrong
Yes Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

Oh, let the silly child keep it. I choke up with mirth every time I see it, with him behind it. It is hilarious. Looks like a monkey. Who ever came up with this idea did him a disservice.

I think he should set his sights on doing something for his state or our country (because he has done NOTHING to date)…
This guy is the LEAST qualified of EVERYONE who ran, do you realize that?
If in fact he does win, we are in for four years of speeches diverting us from all of the mistakes…
America is not a learners permit for a politician people and, what happened to standing for no "politics as Usual"?

Biggest mistake ever was letting Clinton go…

the republican keep saying that obama has no experience,but they forget that Bush who has experience has put this country in recession

> I can't think of a single reason why any voters in a red state,
> Democratic or Republican, would want to vote for Obama

Because we don't want another 100 years of war, because we want middle and low income tax cuts, because we want heatlhcare for those who can't afford it, because we don't want the US to continue being clobbered by the Chinese (US owes China roughly $3 trillion in debt), because we don't want another flip-flopping fool running this nation. I can't think of a single reason why any voted in *ANY* state would vote for 4 more years of the same… I guess I didn't account of mental ineptitude.

@ Swannie,

keep drowing in your pettiness. the logo is great!

Kick rock or fall off a cliff for all I care…Obama is the next president of the United States!

"vero possumus" - YES WE CAN!!!!

Americans reject Obama:

Iraq is a success beyond expctations. Obama hasnt been their in 800? days and has no plans to. The reality is too much for his campaign !
If its not bad for America he CAN"T Endorse it.
The vote for Democrat C H A N G E 2006 was Absolute Failure, and now threatens our American stability and way of life.
The Democrat Energy Attrition Plan will starve hard working American families out of their Homes as soon Farmers will be growing anything BUT Food!
And a pullout from IRAQ now would be Universally INSANE !
So what are Obama's campaign Issues; Multiculturalism, Environ mentalism, Global Warming, Gay-Rights, Late term Abortions(Infanticide), 57 states, woops one more.The Stuff that keeps this nation moving !
Obama for C HA N G E 08, we cant afford anymore C H A N G E !

JAN is that all you can say.What is your plan and whom do you back?Or are you just another clueless dittohead working to keep Limbaugh in cigars and prime steaks.Hope you get your "secret decoder ring'.

Barack Hussein Obama will turn these two states blue if he proudly states his full name and doesnt feel ashamed of it. He will not throw his Indonesian stepfather under the bus who gave him good religious teaching (a sound religious foundaton and religious values). His white grandparents took care of him when he was 10 years old, until then his stepfather took care of him in Indonesia. He should not change his mind as to the direction of wind. He should stick to his values.

Guess this means Richardson is his VP? Don't forget that New Mexico supported Hillary, not Obama.

Anybody IS better than FUsh … except McCain who is the SAme.

Go 'bama!

U might recall Arizona's deplorable stand against Martin Luther King Day. They are like a 3rd. world country out there . Lycergic acid and mescaline. They will only be dragged into the 21st. century kicking and screaming.

Obama has significant problems with telling the truth, obfuscating and having two identities. His soft spoken, charismatic professor and preacher ID masks the ruthless politician with high levels of egomania and lust for power at his core.

Smart - you bet! Wise - not at all! Presidential material - no way!

DONT HOLD your breath the states wont go blue
and BTW
The latin on the “seal” is” vero possumus” It is supposed to mean ” yes we can ” but the literal translation is ( I took latin for three years so please allow me to take the liberty of saying oh wait it is still a free country I can say it ) VERO POSSUMUS looks for all the world like it SHOULD SAY
THE POSSUM IS DEAD and we all know what possums do when they play dead . This is so presumptuous and ridiculous . It is like a kid “playing” president .
the latin word for truth is VERE and means; in fact, real, true and Possum { possum posse potum }: to be able, avail, have influence, so his seal could also say I really influence , which is actually closer to what is going on .. and vero is also an adverb meaning certainly vero : in truth, indeed, to be sure / however. or so maybe we could say certainly the possum is dead? or closer to the actual truth of the purpose of obama having or needing a seal

IN FACT I WANT TO INFLUENCE YOU

and the new logo breaks the law and is yet again more plagiarism

US Code: Title 18,713:

§ 713. Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representatives, and the seal of the United States Congress

so he should pay the fine or go to jail

I liked McCain a lot better in 2000. He is not the maverick he was then. He is just another repugnant-ican.

Well, I think that Obama will make a great president, not because he's an agent of change, but because he can present himself presidentially while being a shrewd agent of discerning the complex waters of the Chicago political machine.

I can't think of a single reason why any voters in a red state, Democratic or Republican, would want to vote for Obama. People in blue and red states are finally paying attention to him and seeing for who and what he is: a typical politician who will do and say anything to get elected and one with no real accomplishments or record to back him up.

McCain’s haughty character is what is going to give senator Obama his victory in the general election. Obama is the emblem of change and McCain is being inauthentic when he says “vote for the right kind of change” unless I am wrong, McCain is anything but the right kind of change, his principals are almost duplicative of Bush. Being a Hilary Clinton supporter, I support Obama. Any democrat who goes red can’t think logical because they should know that Republican’s are our opposite poles.

thank god obama is unelectable because of his lack of experience and he is a clone of dukakas, kennedy, kerry,reid and peloski all losers in the public eye. obama needs to get some experience and come back in 20 years when he grows up. we need to drill now and start burning our own oil. the democrats have stopped this long enough. let bring the vegatables, car production back to the greatest nation on Earth USA. thank god obama is unelectable

Obama will win both states.He should go into Arizona and really get Cains goat.They know hes a scammer.

There is nothing to fear from Obama. No one can destroy America unless people want it so. We want the change. Let's take this challenge.

I think the new logo looks egotisticall and inappropriate. It has a creepy feel to it. Like putting your own personal name on the seal for the United States. I don't think it will fly that much in the American Heartland who tend to take rip off's of American symbols more seriously. We are not electing a King or a God here. Yes I know there are a few differences, but it is too much like the US seal. I will vote for Obama, but I am not one of his evangelical like supporters.

He predicted the primary victories with 90+% accuracy and if Republicans and the media continue to doubt him they will witness one of the biggest blow outs in presidential history.

OBAMA/HAGEL 08′

Stay FOCUSED Sen. Obama!!!

LMAO, Obama would make a good dictator. The people of Nevada and New Mexico are smarter than to fall for Obama's tactics. Bill Richardson is a loser.

it's complete hogwash to think that arizona exerts any influence on new mexico OR nevada. If anything, the general sentiment in New Mexico (as a resident) is against McCain because there is so much animosity towards Arizona, an enormous resource hog who takes water from the Rio Grande to feed their unnatural and insane development in scottsdale and phoenix.

I'm voting Obama. Don't worry Randy, not a single person I no has cold feet about it. We're excited!

At this stage of the game Obama is our only chance in these difficult times in my opinion. African Americans have had a long history of supression and know the benefits of a freedom-like democracy of unity and equality; and unity is what brings our country back together. I am a white american, and a democrat, and I believe that the Bush administration republicans hijaked our american idealistic constitutional government, and his dictatorial style-like behaviour must go. Bush style republicans have botched up the economy, our once worldwide respect, the coffers of our treasury, our democratic ideals; and to boot, they want to throw away our Habeas Corpus. Does the constitution still count for anything.? I invite all americans to read the constitution, the gratest document ever written. Go! Go! Obama.

Go Obama!

You can do it. Make us proud. Get your message out. Work hard to get the votes take nothing for granted. You can bring in the west, south, mid-west and south. We are not Red states nor Blue states we are the United States.

Make this a time to unite America.

That would be really cool if Barack could carry some traditionally red states. I really hope this guy is the next president.

I like Obama but not because of your promises :=)) ???? How valid is your promise? and what is that promise you can do for us? Are you able to reimburse us something if Obama screwed up as a president? LOL

Why do the right wing call Obama a socialist? Because he will provide medical insurance for all? Because he will make education affordable?
Wow! Those are really terrible to contemplate, huh?
Look forward to an election based on taking civil rights from homosexuals and lesbians. That's all McCain has left.

Randy - ignore the fact that he is black, white or green. That is irrelevant. What has turned me 180 degrees from Obama is the fact that he is a stone cold liar and will switch his position in order to suit his needs on a whim. That's not change, that's 100% more of the same. In 2007 Obama openly stated that he had confidence in the strength of the public financing system. Now he calls it broken. And he only came out with that message after the up-roar that came about from his Barack-flip of his position just 15 months ago. If he honestly felt that the public funding system was so flawed he would have not only announced that in the middle of last week he would have been voicing that for weeks prior to the announcement in order to keep public favor on his side. The man is a stone cold liar. He is not the candidate for change. If anything he reminds me more and more of Nixon every time he opens his mouth.

Obama will be a good leader. Hopefully, he will concentrate on something more productive rather than concentrating on something destructive. =)

God Bless Estados Unidos de Amerigo!

Is he going to run around the country telling everyone how racist people are who don't support him. It's funny the only comments I ever hear about race come from Obama and his supporters. Obama brings it up, because he uses it as a wedge issue, and his supporters call anyone who doesn't support him racist. I guess we all have to think like them, or we aren't true Americans. I personally will vote for someone who actually shows up for their day job, not missing 42% of their votes. I will vote for someone who didn't support the Cheney Energy bill, I will vote for someone who didn't vote present eight times on a woman's right to choose. I will vote someone who doesn't flip flop in issues like NAFTA, Campaign Financing and the gas tax holiday. I will vote for someone who didn't sit in a hate filled church for twenty years, and only leave it when it became a liability. I will vote for someone who doesn't say one thing to the American people, and than do another thing when he thinks he can get away with it. I know that someone isn't Obama! Hope and change sure is looking a lot like the same old, same old!

Arizona too is facing one of it's worst housing crisis and they too are waiting for change so have no fear of McCain. The Governor of Arizona doesn't support McCain and she went door to door during the campaigning seeking support for a democrat nominee, so what does that tell you. Vote Obama.

I'm still waiting on Obama to start courting Hillary supporters. Saying nice things about her and that she paved the way for your daughters is not cutting it Senator Obama. You need to use a new line.

Here we come! Once people hear his message and about the policy and issues that matter, we will have another BLUE state.

He might want to drop by Colorado as well…his once solid lead there is slipping away.

New Mexico is next to Arizona, that's true. But culturally the two states are quite different. Not many New Mexicans will lean toward McCain just because he's from next door.

As a New Mexico resident I continue to be amazed that anyone is thinking McCain has a chance here. Without Heather Wilson's bizarre appeal to some moderate Democrats, there's nothing that's pus
