Bangor paper weighs in on Maine caucuses

can you say overreaction at it's finest. wow. I understand that David may have crossed the line but for one instance and one gray area, to then condemn the whole cast is a bit over the top.

And if hillary wants to limit her exposure that's fine. she's only hurting herself.

I'm sure fox news will just be glowing with nice things to say about her

Wow, what a poorly thought out article to write.

Why can Obama govern across party lines? He just keeps saying he can. Haven't he and Hillary both sponsored legislation with Republicans. One difference, Hillary has done it for longer on the national scale.

So, now that we are even on that issue, who cares if ex HS jocks on their couches at home this Hillary is polarizing. She's proven she can get things done and her couch critics will realize it too. In the meantime, the thing that seems to be the one factor that may hold up anyone getting things done is Barack's inexperience and unwillingness to come up with ideas as big as his britches.

So, maybe the Bangor newspaper should have thought longer and harder before writing such a naive article. I'm really disappointed, I thought they'd have something more well thought out to offer their readers.

The Unifier is a much better choice than the Polarizer. Too many moderate democrats, myself included, will choose McCain over Clinton, if it comes to that. If the Super-delegates know what's best for the Democratic party they need to quit actively trying to lose Presidential elections and back Obama.

Congratulations for recognizing that Barack Obama is best positioned to govern in the White House!

Yes I agree we need to here proposals of how it will be accomplished not redundancy of what needs to be repaired, do not bore me with the obvious as they say. The sad state we are in not the work any one person but management always falls on the boss man.It is unfortunate that the president has no vision on how to run this country, If he did perhaps He would of brought all our troops home to gaurd our borders to help fight Illegal infiltration of foreign neighbors stepping over on to us soil stealing our jobs collecting our tax money, our troops can stop the importing of drugs here in the states, helping with all our disasters,Catching terrorists, so on .... Not one of the candidates has mentioned that Mr Walt Disneys monorail is the answer to most of our delema as he was a genious. and no one in washington is. Now if any one of the politicians can put their money where their mouth is then maybe we can start the largest construction project since the railroad,Panama canal,and route 95, creating jobs of the largest magnitute, putting GM, Crysler, ford,and all the other manufactures back to work, disassembling NASA as they are out dated all they can do is blow up people, rockets, and Lots of money.So we need to remove the kids and their toys and put them were they are needed most. We have enough private industry to take over no I beleive we will need all of them in the design and logistics of this We will call it the Natonal Monorail system. We then will do away with freight trains, buses, and commuters will have a way to get around without polluting.This is not rocket science people. Sen.Obama, Sen.Clinton you will work wonderfully together... more to come

Thank you, Bangor Daily News, for being more straight-talking than the New York Times. We are hoping that your readers will ponder your thoughtful editorial and take to heart these considerations that are so serious for our beloved country. Senator Obama offers judgement and the ability to bring different citizens together. The Clintons offer the status quo of divide and rule, smear and tear down, corruption and power games that have so bitterly led the US to the sorry condition we have today.

The Bangor Daily News has joined a good group of papers favoring Senator Obama: Boston Globe, Seattle Times, SF Chronicle, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Atlanta Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Sacramento Bee, San Jose Mecury, La Opinion, Arizona Republic, Dallas Morning News, Native American Times, Harvard Crimson AND Yale Daily News. Just in Florida, Obama gets the St. Petersburg Times, Tampa Tribune, Palm Beach Post, Bradenton Herald, Pensacola News-Journal, Gainesville Sun, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and Palm Beach Post, to Hillary's one, the Orlando Sentinel.

It's too bad that so many voters for Hillary Clinton don't actually read newspapers and base their opinions on a lot of hearsay. Those who have the facts, who are not already part of the Clinton machine, go for Obama, no matter what state, what city, or what kind of readership.

If Obama gets the Democratic nomination, he will be a product of ridicule for the Republicans. He didn't 'serve' his nation, he has no significant legislature record, his rhetoric captures only the naive and the smug. The Democrats will lose in November and an immature, entertainment-based media should be brought to their knees for greasing the wheels of misfortune.

Please I am hoping you vote for Obama. As a young college student it is really important that my generation have a chance at one of our great leaders getting elected ad making a real difference. Sen. Obama really would make a lot of changes.

As for Hillary's HealthCare argument against Sen. Obama, it is silly. She says that unless people are mandated to pay for healthcare with large fines and wage garnishments if they don't, then they would not pay for it. I would like to know who these people are that don't want healthcare. I have yet to see one person say they do not want healthcare if it is affordable, not one.

I certainly hope that people planning to support Hillary have thought about it thoroughly.

If you plan to vote for Hillary simply because you truly believe in her ideas and because you are voting you conscience, then so be it, but please be aware that in a general election she may not be electable over McCain. Conservatives who would otherwise be happy to stay home in election day and not vote, rather than vote for McCain, will more than likely jump out of their seats and vote, not so much for McCain, but against Hillary.

I've heard some people comment that Obama would be the target of ridicule, although after the ridicule Bush has been submitted to due to his well-documented "Bushisms", or his shady past, all we can conclude is that if you are the President of the United States, you have a bulls-eye on you by default; it goes with the territory.

Hillary, perhaps unfairly, elicits true hatred from Conservatives. I have no idea why. It is so irrational. So in the end, if it is good enough to vote your conscience, please ask yourself first if you are willing to live 4 or 8 more years under Bush Regime #2.

Hillary elicits hatred from everyone....she just has a "Way" about her.

Someone asked about Obama's record. I'm not sure how much of this is gospel, but the "comments" on the following post are very interesting:

If Hiliary is elected president then that means that a majority of the voters have decided to install her as the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces. I suppose that makes Bill the First Man, with not a whole lot to do except manage the female aids. That sounds like the fox guarding the hen house dosen’t it. But wait, Bill can also devote quite a bit of time to his foundation and contributors. What a deal, it sounds like having your cake and eating it too. Or to make the situation even more profoundly absurd if something happens to Hiliary then Bill’s back. Vote Republican and your worst concerns are over.
