Obama has lost this democrat because he and his supporters can't have it both ways. New type of politics = BS.
Repubs using scare tactics is bad but its ok for him to threaten women with the repeal of roe v. wade if McCain is elected. Scare tactic politics if you ask me.
Changes his position after giving his word and all his supporters say he didn't pledge he said he would look into it. Take the blinders off he pledged. Blaiming the Clinton's for playing the race card and saying he is above that type of politics and who played the race card the other day BO he is a shameful disgrace and once again the lefties and young people in the democratic party have given us an unelectable candidate. way to go SMART PEOPLE!

I don't think there is anything wrong with a 50-state strategy afterall isn't the president of USA supposed to represent all the 50 states. It's ok let Obama get out there and speak to all kinds of people, even the racists. I think it needs to be done. People who have doubts about him need to see him and hear him to get a better feel for his agenda.

Dear Labor members

You do not have to support Obama who is Dr. No and a serial quitter. I urge you to vote for a tried and true and trusted real man. Not a glove wearing girlie man who shovels a couple of sand bags for a photo op,

I am ashamed of our unions being stereotyped. i worry about our great nation having a leader making fun of our hard working white men and women from the mid west who are "called bitter and gun clingers and God Fearing."

We may be "God Fearing" but we aren't bitter and don't cling to our guns. We use our guns to hunt and provide food for our tables that the do nothing Democratic Senate and House have put us on some hard times.

Getting them to register is one thing…getting them out to vote is another.

ALL YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE FOOLS. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAS HE DONE THAT YOU FEEL HE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT. HE CAN GIVE A GOOD SPEECH, THAT WILL NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS. JOHN MCCAIN HAS 20YRS. AS A SERVER OF THIS COUNTRY. MY FIRST CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT IS HILLARY CLINTON, IF THATS NOT POSSIBLE THEN I WILL HAVE TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN I NEED SOMEONE WHO HAS EXPERIANCE. THAT WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEED. THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHOHAVE MORE TO OFFER THEN OBAMA. THIS IS TO IMPORTANT TO PUT SOMEONE IN OFFICE WITH ONLY CHANGE AS AN ANSWER NO SULITION.

Wolf,

It looks like your ongoing quest to get Bill Clinton to say whether/if he's going to endorse Obama has finally paid off. But that rather vague statement from a mere "spokesperson" wasn't quite what you were expecting, perhaps?

Stop trying to influence this election, CNN.

Obama is trying to "buy" the Presidency in every sense of the word! He has no shame and will have no problem doing what it takes to win. Of course, if we the people of this great nation let this happen, we will be judged as fools for ever! He has no talent, has done nothing for our country, and does not have the experience it takes. Yes, he has Oprah, but if I were Oprah, I would first try to help my country in any way I can to get rid of poverty before I would put my millions and millions into this empty suite! People of America, wake up! This phony will buy the Presidency if we don't stand up and defeat him. Fortunately the GOP is a brutal machine and will hopefully rip him apart. I wish I could say I am a Republican saying all this, but unfortunately I am a Demcorat saying all this!!!

Not only is he on an ambitious quest….he doesn't appear to have an actual plan in place for the possibly that he might achieve it.

Are we really ready for a President who lacks cultural literacy relative to our nation, the armed services, and our historical foreign policy lessons?

I think not.

Ignore history–ignore brutality and evil–ignore the lessons learned in the social and economic turbulence of the decades and doom yourself to a repeat performance.

didnt obama graduate from jr. high like yesterday?

What about the other 7? LOL LMAO

Obama is a loser and a dreamer…..

Barack Obama/Maxine Waters—onward to socialism…we can overcome..

Our addiction and dependence on fossil fuel was increased, and empowered, beginning with Reagan. Jimmy Carter was headed in the right direction. He installed solar panels in the white house. Reagan had them removed, he was an oil man, as well as most of the Republican leadership for the last 30 years. It was laughed at; considered crazy. Republicans were basically looking only at the all the money, they could make. They worked so hard on winning the cold war, and enlisting Russia into Capitalism (oh I think they called it "democracy" what a joke). Then Bush the 1st and Clinton, thought what if we brought China and it's billions of people into this Capitalistic system. wonderful, however, no foresight, no vision was ever contemplated. How, was the earth going to withstand all these peopledemanding fossil fuel energy? That mattered not, just the rising balance in the bank accounts. As if this money could consistently be made as such with no future consequences.(Utter foolishness, I say!)
Well, now we have ridiculous gas prices, a planet in peril, and a war that was started not with high ideals for democracy, just control of oil.
Mcain offers no real vision, no real way to solve this HUGE problem that he and his Republican friends created. Think of where we might
be today, if we had begun researching alternate sources of energy over 30 years ago. Solar Panels; not so crazy now, not so funny now, is it?

Barack has shocked so many my bringing down the Clinton machine!
McCain and his camp will be a piece of cake!

RIP George Carlin, I will miss you.

My, how the world has changed, when the actual candidate of faith is… the Democrat ?!?! Heavens-to-Betsy! Whatever will we do??…

…it should be obvious.

Christians for Obama

There are many blacks who are not registered to vote in the southern states. The Obama campaign is smart for targeting the unregistered black voters. In the past many blacks felt like their votes would not count so they did not register. There is hope this time.

John McCain doesn't even have Texas on his belt. There will be a fight here. Many people are upset about the high prices and the war.
I am willing to bet Obama wins Texas.
Yes we can and will win !

I am not an articulate woman, I don't have a college degree, I come from a small town that is full of small town thoughts and ideas, but what I am is a concerned American citizen. My concern lies with presidential candidate Obama. This is a man that continues to pledge (for lack of a better word) his loyalty to the African American community, claiming to be a "black man" that is there to fight for the rights of his people. Well, last time I checked Mr. Obama is the child of a white mother and a black father. This makes him just as much white as he is black, so why is it that he has no loyalty to both races. Notice how every picture you see is of him and his white family, where is his black family, oh yea, they obviously weren't supportive of him. So, please tell me how you can try to play the 2 sides against one another now. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS…ONE NATION UNDER GOD, leave the race card out of it. And while we are on the subject, if he as a presidential candidate cannot pledge his allegience to America, then he doesn't sound like an American to me. I will not vote for Barack Obama, not because he is black / white, but because he is not an American at heart!

Almost laughable.

On the one hand, Obama supporters say Obama won fair and square….on the other hand….they say that if Obama does not win the GE against McCain, then it is Hillary Clinton's fault.

Sounds so Obama….everything is Hillary Clinton's fault. Which is all the MORE reason it makes it harder to vote for him!

Right on the money Wolf. Ambitious he is . Not unusual when you take into account his upbringing. America wants men not mice.

So what if Obama has "run a great campaign?" Tell me what this proves? That he can speak the English language better than George W Bush? Big deal. The reality is, Obama hasn't accomplished anything but telling the public that he will do and say anything to win. He will lie and back peddle when caught with something that turns on him (think Wright and the Presidential sign, among others). No Obama. The Clintons have been out there working for the good of the people for decades. What has Obama done? NOTHING! Can't vote for this snake oil salesman.

After spending so much time and money on her ego trip, the Senator from New York can finally do her job again. She only took on New York to run for President someday. It's the same reason why she accepted Bill Clinton's behavior. She's a desperate woman, willing to do or say anything to erase the shame Bill laid on her. I actually feel sorry for her.

However, to ask for her debt to be paid off?!?! I don't feel that sorry for her. Why should anyone but Billary be responsible for her decisions? Ask your supporters Hillary, not people like us who are ready for something other than the names Clinton or Bush for the last 20 years. Look at this country after you people!

For now, please let's move on.

Obama/AnyoneOtherThanClinton

PS Running a joint ticket after you behavior is like saying the following:

Clinton/Lewinsky 2016

You bet Obama has an ambitious quest Wolf!

And, his expectations are high! He is the fascist Mussolini, and the JFK cult of personality all rolled into one. Wow!

Obama is not the kind of change Americans can believe in. The more I watch him in action the more I fear for America!

Can he fool the majority of Americans? I don't think so!

This former Democrat, leaning Independent, will never vote for Obama!

Wolf
McCain is NOT bipartisan
Voting twice with Democrats is not BIPARTISAN/

AND, why don't you mention what illegalities
McCain committed with his campaign finance
A MUCH BIGGER ISSUE
I AM SURPRISED PAUL BEGALA DIDN'T CATCH IT

Wolf You say he should work N Carolina and Georgia cuz they have big African American population.
If someone else made that comment, you would run it for a week on every half hour and accuse that person of RACISM
Start reporting the news and stop creating what you think will be your next big story and victime

Why not compete in all 50 states. I am tired of the Democrats and Republicans giving up states. Your party may not win the state this time but the more you compete in each state the better each major parties chances in each state. I do not blame Obama for not taking public financing. How is he going to be able to compete in all 50 states without lots of money. As long as he average donation remains small then it is not a problem for me.

and he should

Unfortunately, winning over traditionally Republican states, often seems to involve winning over people who can be, but are hopefully not, influenced by fruitcakes like Dobson who understand neither the Bible nor history nor historical literature nor therefore, of course, OBAMA, who clearly demonstrates a sound understanding of all the foregoing. And he does not even pretend to be an expert.

I want to believe that most Republicans are not fruit flies circling fruitcakes!

Obama is young, energic and he can do it rather than sitting in some town hall meetings listening to old man river complain. Obama is putting McCain on notice, McCain better put his jogging shoes on and stop the name calling.

I hope that Obama campaigns in West Virginia. Contrary to media reports, he has many supporters here! Like the rest of the country, we want change and not the old politics as usual!

GO OBAMA!!

That is exactly what this race is about. Yes we can change this nation. Yes we can have a 50 state strategy. Yes we can make the democratic party active across the 50 states. YES WE CAN.

To: FROM HILLARY TO MCCAIN June 24th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Get over yourself, your girl lost fair and square so stop crying about it.

You Rep are soooooooo SCARE, and I know why. He Sen (President) Obama get in the White House the world will find out how dumb you were for voting for Bush.

Some red states are susceptible this election cycle and at least over the next several months it is a good idea to test the waters rather than just conceding based on historical trends. The real reason Hillary lost, for example, had everything to do with the states she chose not to even compete in and little to do with gender bias. She essentially conceded too many states before she even got her campaign rolling.

The real advantgage of the 50 state strategy, however, is at the voting district level. If you put in an appearance in a district where you could pick up a senate or house seat that will count after the election, whether or not Obama wins the state. House and senate seats are apportioned, after all, by district - not state. Obama is running for president, but he is also building a coalition for change. If he's the only new face in Washington after the election, then "change" is just a slogan.

I like your interview with the Texas governor on the grilling issue, Wolf. You asked some questions I wanted to ask. Thanks for trying to keep him honest.

People are organizing in every state for Obama. We are standing together for change and will do our best to make it happen. He does not have to "be" everywhere. "We the People" are the ones that count, and Obama has reminded so many of that very significant fact.

JUST SAY NO DEAL….. P.U.M.A YES WE WILL!!!

i believe obama said there are 57 states,remember! he is an idiot!

a 10 minute statement without telepromter, says uh,,, 144 times, lol.

Sorry P=patronizing

As someone young, I watch speeches of FDR and JFK and I get chills.

I ask myself why?

Because you cynical ________ for the last 30 years have spent more time tearing down what isnt just like you (see GOP, 1960-2007).

When did supporting ambition and hope become naive and ridiculous? It wasnt 9/11. It happened long before that (Watergate, Iran-Contra). So now the status quo is the law of the land, despite the fact that the status quo SUCKS for 99.5% of Americans.

That and most Americans are too STUPID to know who is on their side, and how to align voting preference with that fact.

Optimism and Hope aren't naive. In fact, there is no place for politics without those two things. Stop demonizing Sen. Obama because he isnt clouded and enslaved to the status quo. Embrace it!

Dobson is no different from the Taliban trying to take over the government in Afganistan or the Mullah fanatics in Iraq.

He doesn't like McCain and he hates Obama, but see where hypocrites like him, along with Bush have led us. All they talk about is gay marriage and abortion. but they solicit sex in toilets and inhale meth with male prositutes.

America needs a president that understands that the country belongs to Christians and non-Christians alike. The focus must be indeed be on hard-pressed families, not just on gay marriage and abortion.

Sorry for digressing

He defeated Hillary in the primaries because he adopted a similar stratergy. Why should he abandon the winning stratergy ?
Yes he can and YES HE WILL

Once again, Mr. Blitzer jumps right in to reinforce he is truly the Master of the Obvious.

You have to love the brilliant, yet simplistic, insights offered up here.

Brandon…did you forget that Obama won the primary in North Carolina? We will definitely be supporting Obama in November.

Obama's Babies Mama…your name speaks volumes about your ignorance, so I don't need to address that. But don't worry…the money won't run out. He's the antichrist, remember? I don't know why you folks don't realize that. There's really nothing you can do. You might as well just vote for him in November, because there is NO stopping the antichrist!!! LOL…what a bunch of idiots you people are.

This eloquent, intelligent man is going to be out next President. And I, for one, am quite proud. I am hoping that the idiotic rumors will stop very soon. He is accused of playing the race card, but DUH…he's black. Race is always going to be an issue, and racism is alive and well in 2008. No, opposing Obama doesn't make you a racist. But if you were an HRC supporter who is now supporting John McCain, you are either an idiot or a racist…you decide.

Wolf, you need to sit down somewhere where you won't cry. Obama is going to win and win big. When he gets into office, all evil-doers are gonna get brought up on war crimes and the Charlie-Black lobbyists are gonna get thrown out. Oh yes, Obama is a civil rights lawyer and will get justice for America. Get with those ambitious plans Blitzer! Obama 2008!

I think he's getting a bum rap no matter what he says and does. I wish both candidates would talk about themselves instead of putting each other down. If he travels around and does that, he might get alot more votes and alot more respect. I really don't think they like talking about each other, but they really don't have a choice with everyone else getting involved. I hope he makes it to all 50 states. McCain can do that too if he handles his money right, even with the price of gas as it is right now.

Enlightened voter, who is it that describes Obama as brilliant? You? Why don't you just marry the guy? Running a campaign is nothing like running a country. Besides, what was so brilliant? He outspent Hillary by 3 or 4 to 1, and just barely beat her. even after he was a sure thing, he was still losing states by 30% margins. Your constant mcwar comments are nothing but hateful. Frankly if Obama is supposed to be bringing everyone together he needs to find a new group of supporters. All I hear is you guys do is bash Hillary for not quiting sooner, bash Republicans, and bash a true hero, John McCain. Obama's legislative accomplishments are nonexistent. 2 of 3 three he cited in his commercial were in the IL senate, not the US Senate. He wasn't even the chief sponsor of 2 of them either. Instead of spewing hate, why don't you enlighten us on his accoplishments? Just once be positive and tell us facts, not platitudes. You stick to hate, because your guy has done nothing you can brag about. By the way, there's also a big difference between management and leadership. America doesn't need a manager, it needs a leader. Besides his campaign what has Obama led? Nothing!

Blitzer is a legend in his own stupid mind.

Brooklyn, you must not have heard about Sen. Obama. He has been working before Washington. You know, the things a candidate did before they were elected matters as well.

The other thing, people keep making a fool of themselves talking about the 57 state issue when Obama actually said 57 states and cacuses. The best thing to do is stop repeating everything said by everybody on the news. Remember how Chris Matthews made a complete fool of the young man who tried to accused Sen. Obama of being an appeaser based on something Bush said when he was trying to cast doubt in the minds of the people of Isreal. As it turned out, he didn't even know what an appeaser was. Furthermore, he didn't even know his history and should not have been talking. Too much of this is going on.

If God says Sen. Obama will be president in 2008, the devil out of hell can't stop it.

Obama 08!!!!!

Wake up Wolf , he is already ahead in most the so called red States. McCain is done before he gets started.

Wolf,

you know between you and Lou Dobbs, it is very difficult to decide who is the most anti-Obama, but i think that you run a very close second!

By the way Obama supporters, you must know that Barack really and truly intends to campaign in everyone of the 50 States. He has been saying this for months now, and you know something? "YES HE WILL"

Obama is on an ambitious quest? Truer words were never spoken.

ALL 50 STATES ARE IMPORTANT. ALL PART OF THE USA!!

GREAT IDEA!!

50 states??? What happened to the 57 states that he said that he was going to run in??????????

Oh, and if you call Chicago Liberal - you've never been to the midwest.

AT ALL

The midwest is liberal??? That's SO hilarious!

All you Repugs and Mcsame democrats, whatever you try to put Obama in a negative spot won't help, because in november you will see his win by landslide and there is nothing you can do about it.

Go Obama'08

Some of you Hillary supporters really need to seek professional, mental help (i.e. those that posted on the thread in regards to Nancy Pelosi saying that Hillary may yet run again as President later on).

You're acting like an angry mob of lunatics! Do you realize that those of us who would have been happy with either candidate have been completely turned off by your mean and nasty comments towards our Party nominee? Do you think that the majority of needed voters (fellow Democrats and Independents) would want to vote her in the next time she runs knowing that, if for some reason she did not win yet again, we'd have to go through dealing with your deranged behavior yet again? I'm sad to say that I for one would be hesitant to support her in the future out of fear of how ou all would react if she didn't make it to the nomination. God knows what would have happened if she were the actual nominee and lost to McCain. I think some of you just might have physically harmed others, if not yourselves!! I'm serious because that's JUST how nutty you all are reacting and coming across on these boards.

Get some help, please. I know your family and friends have to be worried sick about your mental state… and you know it too!

Evangelicals are terrorists. Obama is a Harvard Educated Constitutional Law Scholar, he knows the constitution dobson, you idiot.

Long Term Solutions… not quick fixes.

Obama '08

Don't worry "Not buying it" we're not taking your currency (that's a form of money).

Wolfe: Don't you mean 57 states?

Wolf, there's black gold in Cali??? Take it back!!! God doesn't hate Cali…….well, at least for now but the point is, let's go!!!!

Hollywood, we're going back for your dough……..yeah, just like how the mob did it back in the day. Yep, nothings changed…

To the Batcave!!!

Remember Obama lost many of the last primaries. This was when people were starting to get a good look at who Obama really is. The Obama cult is going to be surprised by how big his loss is in November.

Hey JD in Ohio (home of the mullet hair cut) what would you people know, you voted for Bush twice. We don't need Michigan, Ohio or Florida this round. Your state means nothing! Obama will pick up Georgia, Wyoming, Montana and Mississippi no problem. Thank you Bob Barr the idiot from the right posing as Nader, another loser!
And would the fake Hillary supporters give it rest. Anyone with half a brain knows that no actual womens lib junkie would ever vote for a man against a woman's right to choose. Not mention unfair pay for equal work or putting more idiots on the Supreme Court. The jig is up and the lights are on. All the data shows the shift from Hillary to Obama!
President Obama rocks the robes of the Klan members (are you one…look in the mirror)

Lets Go Dems!!! Obama for Prez!!!

From Hilary to McCain was never a Hilary supporter. This is some silly Republican trying to keep some mess going. What's wrong with trying run a fifty state campaign. There are fifty states in this country right. That sounds smart. Also the from Hilary to McCain you are not black, so just stop it. Your postings are juvenile and silly for this kind of blog. Grow-up.

Wolf Blitzer looks like one of those yorkie doggies… Every time he comes on, he reminds me of that bad Silver actor on blue steel and was talking all that non-sense in the '04 Republiklan convention, oh wait! It's the same guy!! Aaaaaahhh!!!!

Hey Wolf, I mean woof, woof, you and Jean Dixon should get together and write a book, hahahahaha!!!! You are really sad, really, it's not like you are Bill O'reily or anything after all that clown came out of tabloid tv… but what's your excuse?

I though Obama was running a 57 state race??

Here in Florida Obama supporters are organizing to turn the sunshine state blue!! Don't y'all believe what you hear about our wildly popular Govenor Charlie Crist…..lots of Floridians detest the man!! He can parrot everything McCain says (like "yes, let's drill off our beautiful shores!"….but lots of us see right through it.

Watch out, McCain - you might just get burned in Florida!!

Obama is , Ego- party of One.

I think Obama's campaign is smart for concentrating on getting the voter registration up in North Carolina and Georgia. There are many African Americans who had previously lost hope in the government because no matter who would win the election the question would still be "how would this help our plight and problems we have in the community as blacks in America? So, many do not vote.

They had believed their votes did not count. This time they have some hope. There is alot of interest in this race, many will register to vote in the southern states such as Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana on top of NC and Georgia where there is a large population of blacks not registered. I feel the Republicans are going to be very surprised this year. They will not win the southern states. Texas is even up in the air this time. John McCain cannot say he is going to win Texas. The economy is too bad. This years election for the democrats will be a landslide people are tired of paying high prices and many are losing their jobs. The war is raging on and young people are coming home died or disabled. We can't afford 4 more years of McBush policies in America.

Obama recognizes the entire country is pissed off. There isnt one price at the pump for republicans and another price for democrats. When the circumstances in the country turn sour, they turn sour for nearly everyone.

Survey USA just pointed out that Obama leads Indiana by 1 point. This state is supposed to be as red as it gets.

"Obama will campaign actively in North Carolina and Georgia – two states with large numbers of African Americans." You said it Blitzer, Obama will probably win North Carolina and Georgia because of LARGE NUMBERS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS. How are we suppose to interpret this? Easy - black people are racist because they will NOT be voting on issues, but on the COLOR of candidates' skin.

So when did ambitious become a negative? I admire Obama for doing everything he can to win. It wasn't so long ago that the media was questioning if he was too weak-perhaps not a fighter- They praised Clinton because she was a fighter- now whats wrong with this picture? Its the media who can't get it straight!

Come November, we'll see if the strategy pays off. Weather or not it does, I think its a good idea.

I for one think its time to reform the electoral college, maybe divide electoral votes proportionally to a candidate's margin of victory in a certain state. That way every vote will indeed matter, and a 50 state campaign will become the standard for all candidates. Plus it would take away the obscure possibility ofa candidate winning the popular vote by a wide margin and still lose the election.

you go obama you turn all those states blue you will and you will be our next president and i and millons of others cant wait

I can't wait til McCain gets some more conservative judges on the supreme court so Roe v Wade can be overturned. Thanks, Hillary Supporters.

Wolf, you and your ilk instincts have been wrong all election season. No one knows what is going to happen, so, I just nod my head and stare blankly everytime one of you "pundit" something.

And what is it with all these polls? GEEZ LUIEEZ!

Also, "Warning: watch out for GOP stealing elections."

every evangelical will draw fire as all other religous extremist who try influence the thinking of persos in foggin their view with their hypocrytical words…such people dishonor themselve in using their posistion to enhance their self motivativated desire..what does dobson expect when he puts himself out like that of course he is going to draw fire just because he is behind a pulpit dnt mean he is bullet proof from attacks

Senator McCain, don't look now but Senator Obama is coming for you.
In Virginia (a red state since 1960, except 1964)
In North Carolina (red since 1968 except for 1976)
In Georgia (uh oh, blue for Jimmy Carter, blue for Clinton in 1992)
In Colorado (red since 1960 except for 1964 and then 1992 for Bubba)
In New Mexico (blue as recent as 2000 for Gore)
In Ohio (went to Clinton in 1992 and 1996)

He's going to run hard and press hard to win for all those millions of people who've donated money to him; who've campaigned for him; and even for all of those people who vote against him.

By the way, just heard Dobson on radio. Interesting fellow to say the least.

Obama isn't running to be the president of 270 electoral votes. He's running to be the president of America.

This is not something we've seen in recent years, and it will confuse many people. In the end, Obama will win. Deal with it. Get on board and be a part of it, or sulk and pout. It's up to you.

The First Thing Obama Is Going To Do Is Something That Hillary And Mccain Cant Do! . . . Run A Campaign! The Second Thing That He Is Going To Do That Hillary And Mccain Cant Do Is Run A Country!

LIKE I SAID O.B. IS A JOKE LIKE HIS HATING YOUNG FOLLOWERS. HE THINKS MONEY WILL BY HIS ELECTION ,LIKE IT DID HIS NOMINATION. NOW THAT HRC WAS SWIFTBOATED ,REALITY WILL HIT HIM IN NOV. GO INDEPENDANT HILLARY. YOU WILL WIN.

1/20/2009 that's the goal line……………………………..then the "Real" game begins…………………….this is "pre-season" pandering; really don't mean much………but you still have to go thru the "Motions"…………………

I'm amazed at the people who claim to speak for evangelical Christians! Starting with the child psychologist, Dobson, who lacks education and training in religion. Moreover, there are more varieties of evangelical Christians than Heinz has products, so it's presumptuous for anybody to claim to speak for them–and it's just plain dumb for the media to accept them at their word.

I am so tired of hearing all this "PUMA" stuff.

Please, if you think John McCain will make a better President than Barack Obama - then by all means vote for McCain and if he wins you will be able to feel good about it. If you are just voting for McCain because you're a sore loser, and don't want to vote for the candidate that defeated Hillary - I got news for you, you might have a good time on Elelction Night iof McCain defeats Obama, but I'll be laughing for the next FOUR YEARS when you get stuck with a President who is the exact opposite of Hillary . . . and no one will be more disappointed then putting a Republican in the White House than Hillary herself! And it will all be your fault!

Who'll be laughing then? Think about it: NO ONE WILL.

Vote the issues…

To Obama Supporters:

I'm an Obama supporter. I didn't vote for Hillary because of her gender. Don't tell people that if they don't vote for Obama that they're racist. Some people may just not like Obama like I do not like Hillary (her character). But Obama and Hillary have many of the same ideas on issues. If Hillary had won the nomination, I'd get over the "not liking her character" and vote for her because Hillary would be a million times better than McCain; just as Obama is a million times better than McCain.

Vote for the Issues.
Don't vote out of spite.

Obama '08

OK Haters–time to take your meds….Please retire all of this Obama-hate bullcrap. We don't need it and we are sick and tired of your dog-eared remarks. If you don't want to vote for BAM–stay home. As regards the time between now and November–please don't blot out the airways and newsways with your confounded bullsh&^*!

This is great, I am so tired of most of the campaigning only done in swing states. It's time to turn the page and get voters in every state active!

IMAGINE THAT!

Obama 08′

PUMA…Kool it Kitty your claws are showing. if you are a mother, wife, sister, daughter or friend ask yourselves…how much harm am i doing to my family and to my country. because if Mc Cain wins the only question you can ask is " what have we done" like so many Bush supporters are saying now.

Mc Cain = tax cuts for wealthy…with a Trickle down prayer.
more "stupid wars", high food cost, destroyed coast line, more pollution, lost jobs, lost homes, poor education, no health care…

his top advisors are from ENRON for GOD sakes…you wanna talk about special interest? how much is a tank of gas?
keep on Bashing Mr. Obama…we will still love you. as he is being sworn into office.

Meeee Owwwww!!!!

Hey "Enlightened Voter", we don't vote so others will like us, we vote for what's right even if it's a tough decision. I'm afraid Obama may win, but Americans overall are usually guarded in their final choice and go with what is safe because we aren't eager to give our country away, it was too hard fought for. I predict we will do the same this time except it's been so hard under Bush. Obama just isn't ready. I can't bring myself to do it and I can't vote for McCain even though he's not a bad republican choice.
HILLARY Write IN!!!!

If conservatives continue to support McCain and the rest of the incompetent Republicans, shame on them. There is NOTHING, absolutely nothing, conservative about the Bush Administration or the Republicans in Congress or the Senate. They have exploded the size of government, hiring thousands upon thousands of additional government employees just to prop up their failed economic policies and poor job numbers.

They have run our military nearly into the ground with this illegal and unnecessary "preemptive" war. They've made no effort at competent management, spending like drunken sailors on leave and handing our no-bid contracts to their corporate supporters. All the while, Bush - who promised in 2000 to get tough with the Saudis (his former business partners) - is holding hands with the Saudi prince while oil industry execs rake in nearly 50% profits at our expense.

Government interference in our most personal decisions? Unconstitutional surveillance when a warrant could easily be obtained? Ordering agencies to modify reports to say what they want, not what scientific evidence actually revealed.

What is conservative about that and other abuses of power by these corporate thieves?

So when did this nitwit find out there were only 50 states?

50 state race? I thought BO wanted all 57 states.

Hey FROM HILLARY TO MCCAIN, that's because you haven't been unlocked from the McMatrix syndrome…It's hard to see the light when you haven't opened your eyes…I feel sorry for you…

Why campaign? I thought Wolf and DNN already said he was going to win? Didn't the Obama camp already say they could do it without Florida and Ohio? Why waste money there?? Of course, now that the coffers are full of all that private $$, he can spend it like water.

Yup thats the way of the Democratic party throw money around to win an election. Way to go guys. Why don't you guys and Obama spend your hundreds of millions of dollars on your so called welfare program instead of trying to buy elections. Oh yeah cause you have no ability to win elections any other way. Its disgusting to see how much money the Democrats wasted in their primary. Can you imagine what they will be doing if they do win the white house? Lets throw a few hundred million here and there just for fun! right Obama?

Obama, you're an arrogant hack of a politician. Quiet your talking of change trying to be MLK. You're not even close. You're nothing more then typical politician.

Obama is not worthy of the office of President of the United States. I can't understand why Illinois even elected him as senator.

Thousands of people will be turning 18-years-old this summer, and it's not McCain's age that turns the young demographic off. Obama isn't 20-years-old. Think about it, as my husband mentioned, kids graduating high school have had to deal with Bush since they were 10 years old! Do you really think they want to have 4-8 more years of the same politics that McCain would bring? You've gotta give young people more credit for being aware of what's going on in this country.

Senator Obama is the best chance that we have to change this country's course. Let's not let it go by.

How could anyone that calls himself (or herself) a democrat vote for John McCain? He will roll back all the gains that we made in the 1990's.

Get with it - McCain is wrong for America. If you vote McCain in, you'll be sorry.

He Is Going To Have Plenty Of Money To Run A National Campaign And He Will Use It Wisely! He Wont Waste It Like Hillary Did And He Will Work Hard Because He Doesnt Have A Sense Of Entitlement Like Hillary! Mccain Has No Experience And Lacks The Judgement To Be President! Obama Will Who In A Landslide!

He needs Hillary's help!

Obama/Hillary 08

Ah, more comments about Hillary supporters voting for McCain.

You people need to grow up.

If you really feel McCain offers whatever it is you saw in Hillary, you are as senile and blind as he is.

McSame accepted public funding and used it as collateral for a bank loan to finance his primary race, then turned around and rejected that same public funding. He was counting on Obama to roll over, play nice and be willie hortoned to death by RNC and Swift-boat mutli-godzillions. "I cannot control these ad" McSame now is crying that Obama is a pragmatic, shrewd, play-to-win opponent? Go Obama 08, and let's throw the total-disaster Bush regime and McSame's third term under the Straight Democracy Express.

If anyone can do this, Obama can. Have a little faith Wolf.

Is it me or are the Hillary supporters posting on this board getting angrier and more delusional by the day?

I am surprised that any Hillary supporter would vote against their own self interest out of spite - or in some form of protest. It's very sad that this has come to this. I feel that Hillary's mistreatment was by the media, not by Senator Obama. In that instance, Senator Clinton was widely polled as being the more negative campaigner of the two. If you believe in health care reform, a woman's right to choose, and a new take on green energy, how does voting for McCain allign more closely with your values? If you are just voting experience over youth, then I should remind you that Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld had a ton of experience. This 50 state strategy is ultimately very good for democrats nationwide. It will help promote a democratic message all over our country. Vote your interests - not your anger. How many great decisions have you made out of sheer misguided anger?

Brandon Hillary Democrat for Mc Cain - he's not alienating you guys, he just isn't buying your fanatical, terroristic ways and thank God. There is a separation of church and state in this country and Obama knows that, HE IS A HARVARD EDUCATED CONSTITUTIONAL LAW SCHOLAR. Top that.

If I were Hillary, after being thrown under the train by Pelosi and the leadership, I would go back to New York and start an Independent Democratic party. There is no other choice for this Democrat than to write her name in or not vote.

If you want more Bush/Cheney, vote McCain. If you are one of the 85% who feel the country is going in the wrong direction, vote Obama. Pretty simple.

Hey enlightened voter, drink some more of that koolaid. He is
nothing but a puppet on a string. He is not smart enough to run his
own campaign. Eloquent speaker yes, but that is all…

There is not a blue America or red America - there is the United States of America. I see consistency in Obama. This is why he should be the next President. The religious bigots need change for America to change.

Wolf, doesn't Obama mean 57 states. LOL I think its a good idea, the problem is everyone knows this guy like the back of their hand since the long primary. You either like him or you don't.

CAMPAIGNING IN ALL FIFTY STATES, IS JUST

ANOTHER INDICATION, THAT SENATOR OBAMA

IS SERIOUS ABOUT BECOMING THE PRESIDENT

OF ALL AMERICANS.

To "From Hill dog to Old Dog"

If you really are young and really are AA - what's your allegiance to Hillary about? Personally I dont believe you are either….

Money, Money, Money. Can't buy my vote.

I agree Enlightened Voter. Let's get to work.

Obama 08

In 1960, Richard Nixon made a pledge that he'd campaign in all 50 states - he did, but later realized that he wasted time, money, and energy in states he knew he couldn't carry. In 1968, an older and wiser Nixon focused on an electoral-winning strategy - it, of course, paid off when he rolled out the win (albeit a close one over Hubert Humphrey). Obama should take a page from Nixon's book - after all, RN was a presidential nominee, three times.

Obama/hillary

The whole notion of red and blue states is kind of dumb, anyway. Kudos to Obama for going after those states. This is precisely why he wants to continue his existing public financing system - so he has a broader reach into these states.

He is mobilizing voters who have never been active in elections. That's a GOOD thing for America!

Great. Will can and we will win!

-Proud Obamabot

good! rumor has it there are Americans in ALL 50 states. Its about time a candidate came along that respected that.

yea, they said he should not run for Senate, then they said he could not hope to win the primaries…guess if we listen to people telling us what we should do or could not do women would still be barefoot and pregnant and blacks would be sitting in the back of the bus…. thank God for HRC and BHO.
and listen so this doesn't get to crazy black people are not voting for Obama because he is black like woman didn't vote for Clinton because she is a woman. people are voting because the Republicans have proven themselves be be BAD for the interest of hard working Americans. already some 4000 American solders have died in this war for oil, countless people have lost their homes and their jobs and do to the Mc Cain supported ENRON loophole we are paying $5.00 for 1 gallon of gas. we have seen how they feel about us in Katrina and how they used the deaths of 3000 Americans to start a Mc Cain supported war for oil. oil companies are now in Iraq with NO BID CONTRACTS…war on terror? we are weaker now!
kool it kitty…your claws are showing

CAMPAIGNING IN ALL 50 STATES, EVEN IF THEY DO

NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA, GIVES HIM AN OPPORTUNITY

TO GET TO KNOW ALL OF US & OUR NEEDS.

can you say more registered democrats v repubs+bob barr + sam nunn= BO has a chance in Georgia!

Wolf,

George W. Bush, Charlie Black, Rev. Dobson and Phil Gramm are all doing such an excellent job of campaigning for Obama…er, I mean McCain, that all the analysis in the world won't change the outcome in November…Obama by a LANDSLIDE! That's right. Pretty easy to figure out, eh?

Of course he says he is and as soon as his money starts to run out half way through the 50 states he'll change his mind and focus on Florida and Michigan the states he said he didn't need to win.

Wolf, all I wanna say that Dobson is an idiot! How dare he tells me how to read my Bible!!! If he wants to go at it, I'll go at it with him!!! And I ain't ashame that I can tell you…

forget your instincts Wolf…
He will yet lead the race…
He has what is needed genuine substance…

I swear… I wish I knew WHY Senator Obama did NOT make this much effort in doing something for our country early in his life or for that matter, even for his state… NOTHING.

Now, it is POLITICS as USUAL… I thought that was what he was preaching against!!!!

Lies, all lies… selfish.

CNN why did you close the previous article about Hillary running again after 67 comments? Obama/Peloski.

We all know that the African American vote isn't enough, FROM HILLARY TO MCCAIN. That's why I, and millions of other white people, voted for Obama in the primary and will vote for him in November. We picked the best candidate, and certainly he's won so far. More than we can say for Hillary, huh?

Shades of Jimmy Carter!
Obama reminds me of him…instead of drilling for oil, we are going to return to the Carter years (put on your sweaters, turn down your thermostats, and things will get worse…and they did, until Reagan kicked his butt).

YES HE CAN

Obama has proven that he knows how to run a campaign, as a matter of fact it has been described as nothing short of brilliant. He knows how to manage his finances brilliantly and he is going on the offensive with the repug smear machine and john mcwar. He has run a bruising battle with hillary all the while staying on top with his message and plans. If he manages this country like he has his campaign America will finally be great again and the world will love us once more.

Senator Obama is just plain: AMBITIOUS!

IF you get in his way, you are obviously a RACIST!

Let him try to win without Hillary supporters….

AA's and young people are not enough

By the way I am a young AA and I will never vote for him!!!!!!

register and vote where you live regardless if it 's a red or blue state

North Carolina and Georgia are very conservatives states they will not be voting for a liberal one term senator with no accomplishments representing liberal Chicago. They want democrats that align themselves with the political center. Liberalism and his race will not be playing in the south.
Its not right but its reality people…gees wake up already.

Mc Cain/Palin 08
Hillary 12

all 50 states! americans are ready for change!everyone should be given a chance!

Hows that going to work with you today and the alienation of evangelical christians……

We will remember come november.
