Las Vegas paper to endorse Obama

I am glad that common sense is prevailing in Nevada. Barack Obama is serious about finding solutions to the real problems we face. He is not scripted, robotic, practiced, or insincere. He is the real deal.

Barack Obama is truly a statesman worthy of endorsement. He has already brought Democrats though their first crisis of 2008 when he reached out to both Hillary and Edwards to end the destructive argument over race. They followed him, as we should. He is a true leader, worthy of endorsement not just of a newspaper, but of the entire Democratic Party as their nominee for president.

Viva Barack Vegas!

Nevada is beginning to pan out as more of an "Iowa" state. A state that is a battleground Red/Blue State but tends to lean more Red. Throughout the primaries we will see more of the red states lean towards Obama. I think that this is partly due to the lack of support for Hillary Clinton among men and women in the less liberal areas of the country. They view her as a polarizing figure--a lightning rod. Many voters that fit into this category are simply unable to be convinced to vote for Hillary. Hillary's only hope is to count on the bluest of the states: California, Northeast, etc. It will be an interesting battle. Recent polls suggest that men and African Americans are breaking for Obama. This is also important information. Because a large percentage of whites in the South will vote for Republican candidates, Blacks will make up nearly 50% or more of the total votes cast in the primary in most Southern States. This means that Hillary losing South Carolina is a sign of things to come in terms of her performance in MOST Southern States. My predictions are that Obama will carry most of the midwestern states, southern states, most western states, except California. A microcosm of this exists in the endorsements given to Obama in the red/battleground states. He is overwhelmingly receiving these endorsements because he is seen as the lead candidate for uniting the country. This is Hillary's weakness since she is such a polarizing figure. Hillary will likely claim California, and the Northeastern States. This will be much different than the primaries of 2004. In short, I'd say that an Obama nomination is most likely at this point. If it seems unlikely, its because everyone is focused on nationwide polls and not the battle for delegates. States will be won one at a time, and the results will be somewhat similar to the past election with Bush and Kerry, except Obama will likely take the "red" states.

Absolutely AWESOME!

Is it any wonder that everyone loves the LVRJ so much?

Rock on Obama! Thank you LVRJ!!!

Barack Obama for President of the UNITED States of America.

I agree with the endorsment of "Political Intelligence" to Obama.

It is unbelievable to see a former president who is a name brand in the country campaigning for his wife.
Whatever appened to staying presidential?
Not only by campaigning for her, but also by starting this early in the campaign to endorse HIllary Clinton makes Bill Clinton un-ex-presidential.
Let his wife, HIllary, campaign for herslef.
Azan

Experience cannot be used as the scale for performance.But innovation,idealist, determination,belief that nothing is impossible and that no barrier is high to climb is what voters must look into the candidate.Having experience does not mean understanding the work at hand.

Right On!!!
He will recover US's image that has been ruined by BUSH ... If we want US President to be the MOST POWERFUL & RESPECTED President in the world again, Obama is the right choice.
He represents majority and minority in his blood, he lived years in third world country, he is Christian but his father was Moslem (though he never lived with), he had common youth problem - drugs - and he admitted it and came out from it.
He has lots of common ground to others of today's problem, in the US & the rest of the world. He has the power to CHANGE United States from the most hated to the most loved country.
C'MON ... The world is watching, don't make another mistake you did twice, America! (=2000 and 2004 election).

There is no work on earth that begins with experience.If all work started with experience then there would no exprienced workers.

I recently saw on CNN, a visit they paid to Obama's grandmother who lives
in Kenya. The poor lady lives in a mud hut and has no TV only a broken radio.
If this is the manner in which Obama treats his poor grandmother, while
spending millions on his Presidential Campaign, how can the American public
expect to be treated any better by a man who neglects his grandmother and leaves
her in poverty.
It is disgusting that your newspaperhas decided to endorse Obama.

To all Democrats, Independents and some Republicans:
From afar we can already see that OBAMA is the best shot you got at trying to regain the respect of the world again and remake America.
Will be another ill informed decision in 2008 if Barack Obama is not made the presidnet of USA

I am not from the USA and has never been to Ameria but I want to pass this .... To all Democrats, Independents and some Republicans:

Good news. Obama is brilliant, inspirational, competent and most of all thoughtful about the issues at hand. The Clinton campaign's tactics are vintage Washington dirty politics....the tired, same old same old that most Americans want to get away from. Clinton now claims to be offering "change", but in reality, would it really be change for the better? How ironic that she tearfully said she doesn't want the country to fall backwards - in my view that's exactly what would happen if she were elected. The country would likely regress or at least stagnate. Obama offers an opportunity for the US to once again be on the vanguard of positive change and achievement worldwide.

When is the media going to report on Bill Clinton's post-WH affairs with Lisa Belzberg and Belinda Stronach?

Clinton linked with wealthy socialite

THE tangled love life of Bill Clinton was again under the microscope yesterday when he was romantically linked with a glamorous blonde.

A magazine photo showed the former president of the United States in an intimate pose with the Canadian socialite Lisa Belzberg, 38.

They were photographed by Newsweek in front of a refrigerator at her mansion in Katonah, New York. It rekindled long-standing speculation about the pair, who have been spotted together at a number of functions over the past year.

According to the New York Post, Ms Belzberg, a millionairess separated from her husband, the Seagram alcohol heir Matthew Bronfman, about a month ago following a liaison with Mr Clinton.

...

"Friends were stunned to see the photo of Clinton in front of Lisa’s stainless steel Sub-Zero refrigerator with Jonathan Alter’s cover story on the ex-president," the paper reported. The article claimed Mr Clinton and Ms Belzberg were involved in an encounter last month.

"She was seen flirting with Clinton at the Super Bowl party he hosted in his Harlem offices," it added. At the time Mr Clinton joked of his relationship with Ms Belzberg: "She married a guy worth $6 billion, but she still likes to flirt with me."

A spokeswoman for Ms Belzberg, who runs the educational organisation PENCIL , insisted that she has not been involved in another relationship since her split from Mr Bronfman. "There is no-one else," she said bluntly.

http://news.scotsman.com/billclinton/Clinton-linked-with-wealthy-socialite.2317821.jp

According to 6/12/02 Page Six of the New York Post: WHATEVER there was between Lisa Belzberg and Bill Clinton, it appears to be over. Belzberg, the brainy blonde behind the PENCIL nonprofit group that helps the public school system, was rumored to be more than friends with the former president, who lives just 10 minutes away from the mother of two in Westchester. "She's heartbroken," said one source. But there is little chance of reconciliation with her husband, Matthew Bronfman. The Seagram heir, who split with Lisa in February, is said to be very happily dating a fashion industry executive, Stacy Kaye.

Inside Politics 6/13/02: "The New York Post reported yesterday that the relationship between former President Bill Clinton and Lisa Belzberg 'appears to be over.' If we do the math, that means that Mr. Clinton and the pretty blonde socialite lasted seven weeks. "Tabloid rumors of a romance between the two appeared around April 23, claiming the pair met at a Christmas party last year. Mr. Clinton behaved like 'a big old hound dog' and later, trysts reportedly took place in mid-afternoons on the 24th floor of New York's chichi Hudson Hotel."

Question - did anybody actually watch the 2 hour debate last night? Sorry guys, Obama and Edwards did not match up to Presidential quality, Hillary is clearly the leader. Hands down.

Barack, on last night debate, showed as being a humble individual, noting that he needs help to keep his paperwork in order.
Arrogance is precisely the worst elements in politics, that is why Obama can reach across race, gender, ethnics and political affiliations or ideology to find solutions with humility to the problems facing the Nation.
Even though his mind is lucid, he is a simple down to earth fellow in love with his mission.

A wise choice.

Hillary's attempt at leadership failed. She desperately tried to lead her competitors to the gutter.

Obama's leadership has succeeded. He has lead his competitors back to the issues.

Newspapers shouldn't endorse anyone runner, nor any party. Its funny that Democrats are always saying how the media is bias and how bad it is that the mean ol' Bush administration controls it all but they are happy to change their tune if the media is bias towards who they want as president. Newspapers should report the news, not their opinions and they shouldn't be recommending who people vote for.

If Hillary Clinton loves this country as she claims, she should step down.
How could you have this great country run by two families and not even good example of a family especially on the Clinton's side for over 28 years.
Bush Sr. Vice President = 8 years
Bush Sr President = 4 years
Bill Clinton President = 8 years
Bush Jr President = 8 years

I could even vote for O.J. than vote for Hillary just to get rid of this Mornachy and Entitlement mentality and arrogance of this woman.

I was very impressed at Barak's grasp of the nuances of every issue presented yesterday and willingness to consider alternative options. This guy is truly different. It was a breath of fresh air. While Hillary was busy emplying gimmicks (would u join me in sponsoring a legislation, bla, bla bla...) Obama appeared natural and genuine.

I was not paying mush attention until recently. I am sold on Obama.

Cory, the reason people find Hillary Clinton to be a divisive candidate is because she is a divisive candidate. Look at the negative rhetoric her campaign is foisting on Obama, and with ludicrous statements like "I was talking about his community service, not his drug use". Obama has the character, judgment, and intelligence to lead the country. Hillary approaches this with an obvious sense of destiny and entitlement. She has held onto the dream of being the first woman president since people started talking about it in the 1990's.

However, now it is 16 years later, and we are in need of a different leader. We need someone who can lead the entire country, not just a wing of the democratic party. Obama has the backing of the young, the independents, and even many Republicans. As the Journal_Review is quoted, he is the most viable of the remaining Democratic candidates in the race against the eventual Republican nominee.

Many younger people like myself (36) are looking for someone outside of this third world dynasty politics we are falling into. When I was 9 I voted in a straw poll at school where Bush was on the ticket. Now it could be the eighth such presidential election with a Bush or Clinton on the ticket. That alone makes me very nercous...and Clinton is no great leader like Lincoln or FDR. In fact, her elected experience is only four years more int he Senate than Obama. Obama actually has more time in elected office than she does. Her "experience" is having been the First Lady at the White House and at the Arkansas Governor's Mansion. Ask yourself, does twenty years of season tickets at home plate at Yankee's stadium make you qualified to play for or manage the Yankees?

What some of you may not know is that the LVRJ is relatively conservative. They have another article (see below) that endorses Romney. Is it possible the LVRJ wants Obama as the Dem likely to lose in a general election?

"In Thursday's Review-Journal, the editorial board recommends Republicans in the Saturday caucuses support the candidacy of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The board notes his positions and experience give him an edge in a field of worthy and viable Republican candidates."

I am a Republican,63 years old, never voted Democrat, but this time I will vote for Obama if he gets the nomination. I am sick and tired of career politicians who are all talk and no action year after year. There are two politians on planet earth who are in the race now that I can never ever vote for: Hillary and Mc Cain. If McCain and Hillary both get their party respective nominations, I will be going fishing on election day and pray for God's help for us all.

Whenever Sen. Obama shows up on tv or anywhere else, he speaks sense. He seem to understand the issues facing the US. If only the american people could give this young man a chance to run the White House, then they would save the whole world from dwindling. Old folk like Hillary Clinton just need to go resting. There is nothing new she can bring about. She will highly be influenced by Bill, who despite been out still got the guts to campaign for her. When will this nonsense end? Hillary clinton is now polluting African women. Now here in Zambia, folks is crying for our first lady maureen mwanawasa to stand for president. We have been polluted by Hillary Clinton. There has to be an end to the Bush and Clinton monarchy nonsense and that can only be so if you all vote for Sen. Obama. One Love Sen. Obama.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal ties the honor as Nevada's largest newspaper with the Las Vegas Sun. Through a joint operating agreement, the two are circulated together. That the LVRJ, a libertarian newspaper, would endorse Obama, makes it something of a farce endorsement. In Las Vegas, it will probably cause Obama more liability than good. (The Sun is embracing Clinton.)

I am with you Delano!

I adore Lincoln and all the great leaders of this country called USA who helped in the making the USA be what she is right now.

Remeber it took hundreds of years for the USA to be where it is now. Who created all this? Obama's ancestors, mine and yours.

And yet some of you do not want to recognize that kind of sharing. The paying of that will backfire.I adore Lincoln and all the great leaders of this country called USA who helped in the making the USA be wha she is right now.

And yet some of you do not want to recognize that kind of sharing. The paying of that will backfire.
But thwe whole world is watching.
And the whole world is not scared of America.
The whole world will sing lullabies if the USA fails to practice fairness and real democracy.
The whole whole is joking and laughing about the foolishness of the USA, seeing the democratic elections being populated by a womanizer former president Bill Clinton trying to campaign for his wife -- the same so called wife who was doing lesbian stuff when his dick was being sucked and blowjobbed by an intern...

Bill Clinton should get a job. Hilary is not fit for being a president because we will have another bag of Bill Clinton Baggage in the white house. Are American that dumb to elect another Clinton who is going to have oral sex in one of the most respected offices of the world. Give me and us a break. This is rotten and does not need a genius to solve.

The Clintons with Bill's past oral sex dilemna when he was still in office and he lied under oath, and the Hilary Clinton being so quiet during Monica's time in the white house sucking a dick raise questions. During this time of perjury Hilary did not say anything and she is reported to have gone to law school.

Proof that Hilary is not trustworthy. Hilary where were you when your husband was getting a blow job and cheating the country "I did not have sex with with woman" and USA spent money trying to go through a trial.

Hilary, if you were in Afghanistan, you would be fine. But not in America.

Obama is the man who will unite the USA with the rest of the world.

Hilary you are fit to be president. If you go to Iraq and see masacre you will cry like you did in Hampshire. I think you should look for another job.

And tell Bill that he is disappearing from respect as a former president. Maybe we will never put a flag on his casket if he dies like Ron Reagan. Because he is very fake and he is writing the hook about his presidency be nothing and I don't think Bill Clinton should get presidential library.

Why is he attacking Obama. The reason is that he is not getting the vagina he wants from Hilary.

Hello USA:
Wake Up!!

The Clintons are a shame to America.

Vote for the most inspiring, motivating man who will put America to where America needs to be today, tomorrow and forever...Vote for the man who I think is very smart ....Vote for BARACK OBAMA guys. You will never regret the good results which will come from that decision..
lesbian rumour thing going on, are the world's choosing of any democracy on this earth. Please vote for Obama and for secret service, boost the body-guard protection for my boy, BARACK OBAMA. I am going to be his press secretary and I will face the press from north to south because I have been to F
But the whole world is watching.
And the whole world is not scared of America.
The whole world will sing lullabies if the USA fails to practice fairness and real democracy.
The whole whole is joking and laughing about the foolishness of the USA, seeing the democratic elections being populated by a womanizer former president Bill Clinton trying to campaign for his wife -- the same so called wife who was doing lesbian stuff when his dick was being sucked and blowjobbed by an intern in the white house...The intern's name was Monica Lew....

And this same guy campaigning for his wife lied under oath. He said "I did not have sex with that woman.." And there was proof that he had sex with that woman cause there were traces of semen on Monica's dress..

The Clintons are so stupid that they forget or due to their arrogance they put off that they will never win because there are people who remember the sins of the Clintons.

Bill Clinton is taking himself from the respect that history will give him. He went to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholar scholarship. But Rhodes was the guy who created North and South Rhodesia colonies. Rhodes dreamed and spoke of Britain ruling the whole of Africa from Cairo to the Southern Cape.

And then you have this man who does not understand anything like what I have written above, condemning Barack and two or three days later he apologjzes.

This man who founded BET who doesnot know that if you slander somebody and two or three days later you apologize you look stupid and lose sales.....

MrBET why don't you figure out how to make cars like the Japanese instead of raising your voice to criticize the MAN OF THE PEOPLE FOR AMERICA BARACK OBAMA and two or three days later you apoligize. Where you on opium when you uttered those studid words? Fool.

We need more inventions and take from the Japanese. We need to stop tbe WARs. What ideas do you have you you irresponsible CLINTON supporter. It will come back to you.

We need a brilliant man and Obama is the man. We should never live in the 3rd century like most of you.

Why do these blacks want blacks not to succeeed? Is it a fucken drunken stupor or just due to the lack of the ability to create cars like the japanese?

Lord have mercy.
When an adult who head BET says such a stupid thing then apologizes two days later it tells me more about his business. I will never watch BET and I as a well trained journalist will make SURE that all my readers will never watch or support BET.

To the guy who represents BET I will say, the way you think is the kind of reason the Sudanese killing themselves.
Long live BARACK OBAMA. God bless America with our Godsend Obama.
degrees.

Thank you God for OBAMA!!

Sen. Obama's voting record in the Senate is worse than Sen. Kerry's.

In the days of the Las Vegas Review Journal and the newspaper being more than a paper of the glittzy sports world.

Sen. Obama has never been a member of the gaming commission of the State of Nevada nor does he voting record in the Senate indicate that he has the remotest idea how and to whom the glittzy's owe their living other than those who have made entertainment name's for themselves and are responsible for their welfare and the welfare of the entertainment ASCAP contracts.

Sen. Obama has not demonstrated that he is responsible for his own position as a Senator. Sen. Obama cannot be responsible for his position as being President of the United States and a person who can be relied upon as a leader.
Sen. Obama is playing games with the minds of the American voter. Sen. Obama is not General George Washington. Sen. Obama is a person who has risen to the height of every school boys dream and that is to associate as a political figure in the Washington, D. C. political and social scene as a highly paid offical voted in by the American voter who has a love affair with the ideology that African Americans who have laid down on the responsibility of their senatorial job that they really, really wanted can lead the American people out of the middle east into a peaceful, abidding resolution of the terms of a peace treaty.

Apparently Sen. Obama feels that if he gets the nation into a war again on this land that the Saudi's will control the flow of the monies in the Federal Reserve Banks.

Again, the lack of Sen. Obama's voting record is a lack of his ability to sustain four years of the toughest piece of non-warring history of the nation in t he last several decades subsequent to the 1920's. When you travel to Washington, D. C. to visit with your congressman, do you want to see the leaders of Kenya's military force patroling the halls of the buildings that Sen. Obama has never known that that is where he is suppose to be on the days that his senate chair was empty.

Guys,
I do not understand why Barrack is not trying to touch a bit on the fact that of all the Dem. contenders, he knows more about the sufferings of struggling Americans. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth like others. Try to make statements that connects with struggling middle class. Tell them you are one of them, has lived most of your life like them, you married one of them. You are coming to wipe their tears away, cause only you know how they feel. Please do this for us your supporters outside America hating every time you loose by a thin margin. You are supposed to be winning. Find the emotions of the voters. Touch on your struggling past, community sacrifices you made under rain and shine. Go there brother please, please. Those with silver spoon in their mouths will be lip zipped by the time you finish. Long live Barrack.

Senator Obama, I would like to suggest that Hillary be addressed by the title her political experience deserves..... Mrs. Bill Clinton. Not Senator Clinton. The political experience, she claims to have comes from being MARRIED TO THE PRESIDENT not BEING president..... What 35 years experience could she have? She was the governors WIFE, the president's WIFE, but how long has she been a senator. The numbers don't add up to me. How about you?
