Toss-up between Clinton and Obama, Romney leads among Massachusetts Republicans, poll says
A new poll out this afternoon shows that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are statistically tied among likely Democratic voters heading into Tuesday's primary in Massachusetts.
On the Republican side, former Bay State governor holds a sizable lead over John McCain, according to the 7News/Suffolk University survey. However, 27 percent of Democratic voters and 24 percent of Republican voters say they may change their minds before Tuesday.
Obama has 46 percent to Clinton's 44 percent, while 7 percent of Democratic and independent voters likely to vote in the Democratic primary were undecided.
The endorsement last week by Senator Edward M. Kennedy for Obama is a key factor. Asked to size up the impact of three endorsements for Obama and Clinton, 43 percent of Democratic respondents cited Kennedy's endorsement as the most influential, followed by Bill Clinton's of his wife (23 percent) and Oprah Winfrey's of Obama (9 percent).
"The Bay State's senior senator Ted Kennedy clearly has more clout in Massachusetts than the popular former president, Bill Clinton," said David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University. "Add to that the backing of Senator Kerry and Governor Patrick, with the resonant message of change as well as the Kennedy call for 'a new generation of leadership' and you have the reason why what was once Clinton country has become an Obama opportunity – and a political choice between the nostalgic and the new."
On the Republican side, Romney has 50 percent to McCain's 37 percent, with Mike Huckabee (4 percent) and Ron Paul (3 percent) trailing. Six percent were undecided.
“Mitt Romney can thank Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul for helping to split the anti-Romney vote in Massachusetts," Paleologos said in a statement. "Without them, this race would be much closer."
The poll was conducted Friday through Sunday and has a margin of error for each party of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
What??? Is Paleologos on planet earth? Nice not-so-subtle jab at Mitt Romney, Mr. Paleologos. He thinks all of the Huckabee and Paul voters are anti-Romney. I would say that more than some of them are also anti-McCain.
VOTE - "MY AMERICAN MAMA" - HILLARY CLINTON - PRESIDENT!!!
America's True Presidential Leader!!!

Please watch this video for me before you vote. The media is influenced by money, we all know that.
As a U.S. Marine supporting my Country, I ask you to do one thing for us. Watch one youtube video. The video is a contrast between Mitt Romney, John Mccain, and Mike Huckabee. (not a Ron Paul video)
I love the USA. Will you watch it for the sake of our Country?

It is rather presumptuous to assume that Ron Paul supporters are only anti-Romney -- and not anti-McCain or anti-Huckabee.
Indeed Ron Paul supporters are all of the above. Why assume that they'd go to McCain...? Ron Paul isn't a screaming, swearing leftist, after all. He is a dignified human being of principle, about as non-McCain as one can be.
elect Romney and put this country back on the right track, no to Mccain
Wow, Romney people are something. Romney tells Gov. Huckabee to quit so he can win. How arrogant!!! Romney's record would make Hillary Clinton proud. Romney, based on his record is very liberal. If you are a liberal, vote for Romney. If your conservative, Romney should be the last person you vote for.
Obama will win!!!!
The stakes are high on Super Tuesday for the republican parties’ presidential contenders, but it could not be higher for them than it is for America.
It is very important for the voter to do some homework this weekend so that we as a nation do not end up with a severe case of buyers’ remorse on Wednesday morning. We must be true to our roots and not allow the wolves in sheep’s clothing to rob us blind, and deprive us of who we are, and what we represent as a people once enlightened with the vision of Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush.
There are wolves and they have been running a well coordinated attack, and have already taken some of our associates down. These wolves have us on the run and have begun to strategically divide us, and scatter us in preparation for the final move, the destruction of liberty. They want to chase us down the dark road too socialism. We need to rally around our core principles and adhere to them. We must ensure the safety, and success of our parties’ great but now endangered legacy. We need to rise up with a united voice and cast our vote this coming Tuesday, to the only conservative out there; that man is Mitt Romney. Vote Mitt Romney President of the United States of America in 2008.

AMATURE POLITICAL ROOKIE OBAMA CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT TO NATIONAL MATURITY!
BIG EGO AND LITTLE EXPERIENCE OBAMA CONTINUES TO TRY AND HAND THE NEO CONS THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE ALL KNOW ONLY A HEAVY WEIGHT LIKE HILLARY CAN TAKE BACK OUR DEAR WHITE HOUSE.
VOTE TO WIN THINK!
If McCain, Clinton, or Obama gets elected in Nov, I will move to Australia.
Romney is the only hope for this country.

VOTE Monica Lewisky's Boyfriend's WIFE
Sorry, any ticket with Hillary is not a dream for me, it is a nightmare.
It is time to stop this nonsense. Racist America will not vote for Obama. We need
to stop acting as if America is ready to elect a black man president. This joke
has been told long enough. White America & naive black America, let's stop
playing mind games.
Vote for Hillary? No way! See factcheck.org. She's lies, ducks, and weaves. It's a disservice to the process and to voters. State where you stand and let the voters decide. She hasn't done that on health care, 2005 energy bill, anti–consumer bankruptcy bill, Social Security, trumped up claims on providing health care for national guard. etc.
I'm an African American but I just cannot vote for someone with a Muslim background.
If Teddy is calling for "a new generation of leadership', I hope he does the congruent thing, and resign, so as to pave the way for same--If Hillary is of the "old generation", what does that say about him?--I think America is less tired of the Clintons than they are of the Kennedys--
Romney is as transparently false as anyone I've experienced in public life in the past five decades of personal experience - he is at least as opportunistic as Nixon without any redeeming features. I'd happily vote "anybody but Romney" if I could.
I have thought about this long and hard. Hillary you have worked so hard over the years for civil rights, your dream is coming true now....we have the chance to have a black president. If you were really and trully working for African Americans then you would step aside and endorse Obama. He is the fulfillment of the Civil rights movement. He is the person who can heal racism is this country, FINALLY. He is the person to heal our global wounds. In Iowa the whole world felt it, now lets make it for real. Vote for Obama!!!!
Dang...Them democrats would be wetting their pants if Conde Rice was in the race!!
I'm not in Mass, but the Clinton supporters I read here sound like rabid dogs, why are you so afraid of democracy???
say no to political dynasties...
ABC
Anyone but Clinton
vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain.
Why we need to exclude Huckabee from the Republican List.
Huckabee: Judicial Watch: 1 of 10 most corrupt politicians in 07. Record Tax Raises. Doesn’t understand economics. Could that be why he has no money and sets up wedding registries when leaving office? Family: If you don't manage family can you lead the nation? Wife ran for sec. of state. She was perceived as "thin-skinned even mean-spirited", used state vehicles and troopers to campaign and told NY Times: "If it wasn't for the grace of God, I'd have shot a few people aleady" Great First Lady potential. She got trounced in her race. Run seen as unseemly power play by the couple. Sound familiar? Son breaks law/instead of punishing him Mike rationalizes, minimizes the crimes and punishes those who try to bring him to justice
If that idiot Huckabee does not quit he will irreparably hurt the Republican Party. I can't believe that he calls himself a conservative. He just wants to hurt Romney, he does not have conservatives in mind, only himself. Think about that as you conservatives from down south go out to caucus and primary. Vote for Romney!!! Huckabee has no chance.
Bill and Hillary are hypocrites, liars, users, phony, ... I could go on forever... why can't the people that support Hillary see right through her? I don't get it. She CAN'T answer questions straight at ALL... We need someone that won't talk around a question - someone like Barack that will give you a straight answer!
It would be useful for those swept away by Obamania to see what the republican opposition ads will/would be like (if he is the nominee) e.g., Afrocentric church with Farrakin leanings, Rezco conveniently buying plot of land for him, ignorance of foreign leaders, ....and if he's so anti-Iraq, why has he not withheld funding while in the Senate? H. Clinton has met with, and is highly respected by, world leaders...not so for Obama...Republicans are witholding such knowledgeable attacks until such time as obama becomes the nominee: but then it will be too late: i.e., Obama as Dec nominee means another 4 years (at least) with a Republican! Clinton would do something about the horrors against women---female mutilation, onslought of rules forcing women to don the vale, ----Clinton has worked on these---has Obama?
YOU'VE DEFINATELY GOT A LOONY OR TWO LOOSE ON THIS FORUM. HILLARY IS TIRED, OLD, AND DEVISIVE. MORE OF THE SAME CRAPPOLA WE'VE HAD FOR FAR TOO LONG. I'LL VOTE FOR OBAMA AND INTEGRITY INSTEAD OF HILLARY'S DUBIOUS EXPERIENCE. YOU WANT TO COMPARE DIRTY LAUNDRY, HILLARY'S GOT MORE ALREADY THAN OBAMA EVER WILL.
If you cant say some thing nice please shut up . They all are good people.
The portion of the Democratic electorate that voted for Clinton were overwhelmingly:
elderly, female, whites who earn less than $80,000 a year.
Clinton's strengths: 8 years in Congress, 8 years as first lady, child defense attorney, name recognition, the aura from Bill Clinton's presidency which positively impacted the economy and world relationships, female.
The portion that voted for Obama were overwhelmingly:
african american, under 40 years old, law professors.
Obama's strengths: 11 years in Illinois Legislature, 4 years in Congress, grassroots community organizer, largest number of small donors compared with all other candidates, not beholden to "Washington Machine" due to small donors and less ties to the campaign funding establishment, broad world perspective as a child of an international and inter-racial relationship, former constitutional law professor, extremely articulate and makes one proud to be an american again.
Obviously you can tell I find more strengths in Obama, and as a male who served in the US Army as an enlisted soldier and an officer, who would very much like to see a female president in the White House, I choose Obama because he represents a new generation and new ideas that are more important to me than what another Clinton term would bring. I think Obama will accomplish everything that Clinton would attempt, and in addition he'll unify the world in a way that Clinton simply could not.
Its not the Economy, not the War in Iraq, nor Healthcare, its the Israeli Lobbyest who will approve/select the next president, all candidates must proclaim their love for Israel, but Hilary love is the greatest, and therefore she will be selected as the next president.
No candidates will ever win congress, the senate, nor the pres office, without the approval of the Unted States of Israel. Votes don't matter.
For REAL change from a "Broken Washingon", vote for Mitt Romney!! We can't continue to elect the same "good old boys" who have had plenty of opportunites to demonstrate the leadership required to keep our national ship afloat and have bungled the job miserably. We need a new (not Washington connected) Captain to get the nation back on course. For a better FUTURE, "ELECT MITT ROMNEY".
Vote for whoever inspires you most. Obama inspires me. Hillary is a good candidate; but she does not inspire me. So I am voting Obama. If Hillary wins the nomination, I will vote for her definitely. I do not care about the experience. I believe the greatest asset of a President is the ability to bring people together. And Obama does that better than Senator Clinton.
Go Obama on Tuesday.
Go Obama or Hillary in November.
Obama all the way, he is the ONLY person that can fix the mess of a country created by GWB.
A leader can admit when she is wrong. Did/does Hillary show leadership iby continually dancing around her initial Iraq vote?
John Edwards admitted to God and everybody he was wrong when he voted for the war. (read: leader)
Barack Obama was against the war from the beginning.....(read leader)
Consistently Hillary and Bush cannot admit they were wrong............leaders, I think not.
It is rather presumptuous to assume that Ron Paul supporters are only anti-Romney -- and not anti-McCain or anti-Huckabee.
Indeed Ron Paul supporters are all of the above. Why assume that they'd go to McCain...? Ron Paul isn't a screaming, swearing leftist, after all. He is a dignified human being of principle, about as non-McCain as one can be.
Romney supporters are such a joke. If Deval Patrick raised our taxes (700 million in fees and corporate taxes), knowingly hired illegal immigrants, and came up with a healthcare plan that paid for abortions and punished people who did not want to join, you would all be crying that Deval was a horrible liberal. Well, that is Romney's record here in Massachusetts.
How was Romney's job growth record? 48th in the nation!!!
We often hear that Massachusetts is out of touch with America. When Romney wins here tomorrow and loses everywhere else, we will know that we are truly out of touch.
Romney is a clown who needs to go back to his Sanctuary mansion and dream about the days he "saw" his dad march with MLK.
I'm voting for Monica Lewinki's Boyfriend's Wife... Go Clinton!
I am amazed at how many people comment on, yet miss, articles in the Boston Globe.

From an ABOMINATION to an OBAMA NATION
I pray that HilleryClinton will win . I can't emagine anyone voiting otherwise. It is so obvious who will be the best president. Also I hope she has lots of security If she wins. You know some people will do anything to win.
Wow... Ever notice how the crazy people seem to always have the defective keyboards with the capslock keys that get stuck all the time?

Personally, it scares me that people are getting on Obama's bandwagon. Haven't we learned what happens when you elect someone who runs on "change" and is "green" politically, and that was just for State Governor. This is more important. Obama has not made the case on why he would make a better President than Hillary. He is running on sound bites, not substance,-- sound familiar Massachusetts? How many State Legislators do you know would make a strong President? Stronger than Hillary? There is no contest. She is the most knowledgable on the issues, has more experience than Obama, and has stronger and more specific policy proposals. And people who think that Hillary is too polarizing should re-think their argument. I hope everyone thinks long and hard before casting their very important vote tomorrow.

From an ABOMINATION to an OBAMA NATION
RE: OBAMA - TED KENNEDY, CAROLINE KENNEDY, MARIA SHRIVER, HAVE NEVER DONE WHAT A FAMILY DYNASTY SUCH AS THERE'S COULD HAVE, OR SHOULD HAVE DONE. MARIA'S FATHER AND CAROLINE'S FATHER AND UNCLE BOBBY WERE THE REAL PATHFINDERS. MARIA MARRIED AN IMMIGRANT WHO WAS ILLEGAL FOR 17 YEARS AND HE CHOSE TO IGNORE NEW IMMIGRANTS. TED KENNEDY -EVENTHOUGH I LIKE HIM- WHAT REAL PATH HAS HE FORGED. WHAT HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM ANY OTHER DEMOCRATE.
AS FAR AS CAROLINE IS CONCERNED, WE HAVE MOURNED WITH HER FOR THE TRAGEDY THAT HAS FALLEN UPON HER FAMILY & WE LOVE AND RESPECT HER, BUT I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR SOMEONE BECAUSE SHE BACKS THEM.
I DID NOT LIKE CLINTON UNTIL OTHERS WHO FORGOT THEIR OWN INDISCRETIONS; POINTED THEIR FINGER AT HIM.
AS A MATTER OF FACT I NEVER VOTED FOR HIM.
I WAS FACINATED WITH HILLARY CLINTON AND HOW STRONG SHE WAS
HOW SHE COPED WITH THE SITUATION.
Why do all the Hillary fans have their Caps Lock key stuck?
More capitals and over-punctuation doesn't make a post better. If your candidate is really the best, would you really have to yell?
Teddy and Caroline and Patrick and Maria
they have no problem getting health care-so they? These four clowns among the media will see the Democrats go down to defeat in November- and the Kennedy 'mystique' will be sullied further.
Mr. Obama is not ready to be president- and despite the silly ultra liberal yammering of the Kennedy's- he will not be.
Paleologos is a spinster. Obviously he's going to lie. Huckabee is widely seen as the reason Romney will lose the nomination. Huckabee has also been playing nice-nice with McCain for over a month now (see past debates) and is obviously making a play for VP on a McCain ticket (as it will help shore up some of the more conservative voters who still don't like McCain). This should be all locked up for McCain now, thanks to Huckabee running interference for him.
As for the Democrats, that's far more interesting. Can Clinton hold on for the win? I'm stunned about this new poll that shows MA so close. All the polls I have been tracking show this much safer for Clinton. But as she was just campaigning in MA this morning, perhaps this recent poll agrees much more with her own internal numbers. Should be exciting.
Haven't we in Massachusetts learned what happens when you get a green politician that gives inspirational speeches about change...? How many of you think that Deval Patrick has delivered? Granted it's only the first year of his term, but that is just the point. The Presidency is too important. Obama is clearly an intelligent man and gives wonderful speeches, but when it comes to the issues and substance, and the kind of experience I want (and we as a nation need especially now) -- the choice is clearly Hillary. I hope everyone thinks long and hard before casting their very important vote tomorrow.
p.s. how many State legislators do you know would make a strong President in today's world? Stronger than Hillary? Please, there is no contest.
Hillary Clinton is unqualified to be our President. Serving tea in the White House for 8 years is not experience. And although she includes it as part of her experience, Hillary's 6 years on the board of Wal-Mart -- the most anti-environment, anti-union and pro-China company in our country -- where she did nothing to help change their policies is something that shouldn't be overlooked.
And in the most important vote since she was in the Senate, she failed miserably. Here is her exact quote...
"And it is a vote that says clearly to Saddam Hussein - this is your last chance - disarm or be disarmed. Thank you, Mr. President."
Does that sound like someone who was only casting a vote to get inspectors on the ground? Please...
Can you trust someone who won't admit their mistakes? Doesn't that remind you a little of someone else that we've grown sick of for the last 7 years in the White House who never admits their blunders?
It's time for a change. It's time to move forward. It's a new world that awaits us and governing like it's the 1990's isn't being realisitic. Let's put someone in the office that has displayed good judgement even when it wasn't popular to do so. The most important thing is to have a President who is right on day one.

We need a women president BiG TIME! I hope Hilary Clinton wins she deserves too all the way! I don't like anyone else who is running they are all phonies and will promise this and that,and when they become president they don't do sh!t and just want to look pretty because they are president.
GO HILARY CLINTON!!!!
Barack Obama and Deval Patrick have the same political operative who made them both "authentic." They use the same words -same speeches- Deval Patrick's "yes we cans" have turned into "don't give up on me." We cannot afford a leader without experience. This is just too important- We have been fooled by the wizard, David Axelrod, behind the curtain pulling the strings. These politicians know that Obama, with his inexperience, will need their help- they love this and have packed their bags for DC. We have to wise up- experience is not a dirty word even if Obama says it is.

GO Obama!!!
Here's the link to the hilarious spoof HILLARY DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE. HAHHAHA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGMgxFE6bms
One question:
Would any of us have even heard of Hillary Clinton had she not been married to Bill Clinton? Would she be a NY senator now?
NO OBAMA NO OBAMA - we're heading into a recession now and we don't have time for BS and time for him to learn on the job. We need to get things turned around as soon as possible or get hit with unwavering unemployment trend the next few years!!
Anyone who lives in Massachusetts and votes for Mitt Romney is a fool. We naively believed his experience in the private sector would make him an effective leader in public office, but we were so wrong. Mitt Romney did absolutely nothing for Massachusetts except take credit for other people's work (e.g. universal health care). Mitt Romney is the ambulance chaser of politicians. He goes wherever he can get the most publicity while doing the least amount of work (e.g. the tunnel collapse). He also changes his beliefs based on what he thinks will get him elected (e.g. gay marriage, abortion, etc). Some people may say that this is what all politicians do to get elected but is that rally an excuse? As if it were not enough that he is a flip-flopper but he is also a liar and a hypocrite. Vote for anyone except Romney.
Okay... if people want change... why is it we have Bush from 88, then Clinton in 92, then Clinton again in 96, then Bush in 2000 and again Bush in 2004... and now Clinton again? Do we really need to continue this poor trend... and then what after that? Jeb Bush... and then Chelsey Clinton?
STOP THIS TREND!
Vote for Obama for REAL change. This is the first time I'm voting and I'm 34 years old. He is the reason why I registered and I think we will make a huge mistake if we vote for another Clinton. I'm all for a woman being President, just not this one.
Get a Grip!
Whoever is elected is going to have an extraordinary mess dumped in his/her lap.
Won't matter about "experience." How far in debt are we, now?
How many Americans have died in Iraq?
How many young people are without much hope?
How many senior citizens can't afford health care?
How bad a recession will it be?
Who can get us on track?
Well, as long as we're quoting articles about the supposed truth not being told, go ahead and be proud of voting for Hillary tomorrow, but keep THIS detail in mind when you do: FEBRUARY 3, 2008: Clinton Says People Who Don't Sign Up For Health Insurance "Won't Have to Pay Fines"; Then Says One Option For Enforcement is "Going After People's Wages." When asked about her enforcement mechanism, Clinton said, "Well, they don't have to pay fines, George. We want them to have insurance. We want it to be affordable." When pushed again on whether or not she would garnish wages, Clinton said, "George, we will have an enforcement mechanism, whether it's that or it's or it's some other mechanism through the tax system or automatic enrollments…And the reason why I think there are a number of mechanisms, going after people's wages, automatic enrollment, when you are at the place of employment, you will be automatically enrolled, whatever the mechanism is." [ABC, 2/3/08] -- So, she'll go after wages, or some other undefined-as-of-yet mechanism. Very decisive.
For those regurgitating this supposed Obama "flip flop"-on-the-war nonsense, you're either desperate to change undecided minds, or you're just plain too lazy to fact check. He did not side with Bush; he has always been against the war. His approval of funding later was only because to not do so would be to leave the troops hanging. He has not waivered on this issue. Period. And the nonsense of complaining that you're not hearing details about this candidate or another? C'mon, folks. Are you waiting for politicians to spend hours on end giving you their documented details? It won't happen on TV, guys. A LOT of you are waiting to be spoonfed this stuff on TV, and I'm telling you it is NOT going to happen.
Let me offer this. If you can spend a half hour posting comments, then for heaven's sake, take a half hour going to the candidates' web sites and look at the doc-u-men-ta-tion! Barack's Blueprint for Change is a good place to start, and follow it with the FactCheck section on his site, which you can access on the lower right of the homepage. There are details everywhere to keep you busy for days if you're hungry for it, including the most recent responses to any incorrect rhetoric you're hearing -- either to clear up distortions or to rebut outright mistruths. And there are countless links to sources, lest you think about arguing that it's the O-camp's words against "theirs". You guys are better than the laziness you exude. Do just a little research. He's more than an inspiring voice. Anyone out there with comments about lack of details, that he's a Muslim, that he loves Republican ideas, etc, is one thing for sure - L-A-Z-Y.
Personally, I am moved by his words, leadership, honesty, conviction, accomplishments, SPECIFIC solutions, his powerful ability to bring people together in civil and intelligent discussion, and moreover I am proud of the EXAMPLE he sets as a husband and daddy. This guy is so real that some of you just don’t know what to do other than complain that he’s not had enough time in the U.S. Senate.
Okay... if people want change... why is it we have Bush from 88, then Clinton in 92, then Clinton again in 96, then Bush in 2000 and again Bush in 2004... and now Clinton again? Do we really need to continue this poor trend... and then what after that? Jeb Bush... and then Chelsey Clinton?
STOP THIS TREND!
Vote for Obama for REAL change. This is the first time I'm voting and I'm 34 years old. He is the reason why I registered and I think we will make a huge mistake if we vote for another Clinton. I'm all for a woman being President, just not this one.
Mr. Romney, please stop the ads re Clinton. Get rid of McCain first. Has he run a business or all those other things you are saying about Clinton? Save her for later.
Another "breakdown" by the woman who would be President. How many more of these teary moments by the gentlelady will we enjoy during this campaign for the highest office in the land. There are heads-of-state in parts of the world that will not sit face to race with a woman. Could it be because of "The Crying Game"?
Please, I would be embarassed by an endorsement by Ted. Hillary is the one, and her running mate should be Barack. What a dream ticket!! A for sure win!! Do we want McCain?? That is way scary!!
At home, we have 3 votes for Hillary, we'll only vote for Hillary to win Obama, if not....SORRY BUT I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE BETTER!
Obama won't get our vote!!!!!
IT'S HILLARY OR NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
AND I AGREE!
TIME TO WAKE-UP....................................
TIME TO WAKE-UP....................................
TIME TO WAKE-UP...................................
VOTE - HILLARY CLINTON - PRESIDENT!!!!!!
America's True Presidential Leader!!!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
McCain is a dirty old man.
What a flip flopper. He's not a straight talker. He considered running on the democratic ticket with Kerry. What? this is not a republican. This is a democrat in bad republican clothing.
I lived in AZ and he doesn't have a lot of fans there as far as immigration.
He's basically opened the border.
Stop McCain, When more word gets out of his lies and his flops he'll lose the race against the democrats.
He's not my president. If he wins the nomination I will not be voting.
I can't support him or the democrats.
ROMNEY IS THE ANSWER.
VOTE Hillary!
We need a leader, NOT a story teller w/ a nice voice! OB and anyone else who should be ashamed to even indirectly or in rhetoric, try to compare to the like of MLK or JFK!! OB is far from it! I don't think either of these 2 respectable and distiguished men would be tangled up in this...
VOTE HILLARY TO BRING OUR COUNTRY BACK TO A RESPECTFUL LEVEL ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE!!
Is past, prologue?
Please see the article in the liberal Nation magazine by feminist writer Katha Pollitt on Bill Clinton’s alleged involvement in the Juanita Broaddrick sexual assault scandal (http://www.thenation.com/doc/19990322/pollitt).
Also, the original Washington Post story on the same subject written by Washington Post mega-star Howard Kurtz(www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/cl inton/stories/broaddrick022599.htm).
The Juanita Broaddrick interview in which she talks of her personal experiences with the Clintons can be seen at. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KZ8ICvutc0)
As George Santayana noted: “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Hillary Clinton, under fire about her commitment to civil rights due to Bill going around the country campaigning using racial coding, has lately been loudly proclaiming her fealty to the Democratic Party''s best traditions on human rights.
However, just two years ago, Hillary--the purported "expert" on international relations--said there should be "lawful authority" for torture in some cases.
(See, for example, www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0907/Hil
lary_and_torture_audio_version.html)
Her stand was opposite to that of every other major Democratic presidential candidate in 2007-2008, and the heat she took for it caused her to make one of her famous "flip flops."
If you don''t have enough of a moral center to oppose torture from the start, how can you possibly lead the Democratic Party, much less the country?
This article seems to indicate that Hillary Clinton will suffer defeat in Massachusetts, but it was only yesterday that the Giants upset the Pats. So far voters have been led along by the likes of Ted Kennedy who wants to crown Obama as the long lost Prince of Camelot. Deval Patrick rode into the state house on the Together we Can, and Change Mantra. His performance so far is just so so, and that tells me that Obama will be more of the same. People are so wrapped up in the Change Mantra that they can't see clearly. As a woman, I will not be told by MEN like Kerry and Teddy, that I should ignore the intelligence and experience of a strong WOMAN, to vote for a ROOKIE like Obama.
GO HILLARY! THERE ARE MORE OF US WITH YOU THAN AGAINST YOU.
I don't get it. We had George Bush in 88, then Bill Clinton in 92 and 96 (don't forget that impeachment), then of course G.W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. Do we really need another Clinton in 2008... what's next... Hillary again in 2012, then Jeb Bush in 2016 and 2020... then Chelsey in 2024?
We must stop the revolving door for these families...
I'm voting for the first time because there is finally a candidate that I can believe in and I'm 34 years old. I'm voting for Barack Obama. He can really bring change for this country... I hope you'll all do the same. The world will like us again for it.
Obama has a 2 point margin compared to Clinton due to the late backing of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Deval Patrick. I will not listen to Caroline Kennedy, because what has she done for all her 50 yrs. for the little people? Yes she visits Hyannis, and comes to Dorchester (Kennedy Library). She gives out the Award in Courage Profile. In contrast Hillary Clinton has been in public service from her college years to this day. How dare Ted and Caroline try to push me to vote Obama who is full of Rhetoric mostly borrowed from MLK, RFK, by his speechwriter! Experience and dedication still counts and that is why Hillary Clinton has my vote.
Wake up America!
We need *Mr Fix It* Mitt Romney - Man of Excellence proven to be experrienced in businnes. This country is about jobs, money and living American Dream.
Mc Cain is grumpy, old war bully...little Napoleon.....with promis of hundreed years wars, open borders, burdening taxpayers with trillions of $, For sure he'll take all pocket change from all of us.
HE CAN REST IN HELL I WOULNDN'T VOTE FOR HIM. WON'T VOTE AT ALL.
Rush Limbaugh should tare him a part.
Lucky
With all of the professional and politically right people handling this election mess, How in this world can the Obama people claim that it is RACIST to use his middle name. This shows dis-respect for his father who named him Barot Husain Obama Jr. So, let's use his entire name and respect his father for being very proud of his son. Husain must have been a hero in the mind of whoever named the father of this man accepted as a Black Man when he in reality is half White and Arab. No American Black in here.
