Obama moving on to Indiana
The candidates' whereabouts Tuesday night give a rather large hint at what they believe the outcome of the Pennsylvania primary will be.
Hillary Clinton plans to celebrate what she hopes will be a candidacy-saving victory at a Philadelphia hotel.
But Barack Obama, who is trailing in the polls, will turn his attention to Indiana.
His campaign announced this evening that he will hold a rally at a football stadium in Evansville while the Pennsylvania returns come in. His guest star: rocker John Mellencamp, who ironically, given the political firestorm over Obama's remarks about "bitter" small-town voters, made "Small Town" a hit in 1985.
The Hoosier state's primary on May 6 could be Obama's next chance to knock out Clinton. He is heavily favored to win in North Carolina that same day, while Indiana will likely be much more competitive.



GO OBAMA!
It's ok with me if you bodyslam Hitllery Clintonat Mondaynight RAW!
Keep Knocking Hillary and her negative stuff!!!
It's at Roberts Stadium, a basketball place more than football
I'm for ending this popularity contest asap, my perceptions is Obama is like to the girl you got drunk and spent the night with and next morning realized you wouldn't want to spend the rest of your life with, behind the eloquence and rhetoric I see little substance in Obama, perhaps in eight years, but not now.
I DID NOT KNOW HILLARY CLINTON HAD THIS MUCH FIGHT IN HER..I HAVE HEARD HER SAY I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU. GUESS SHE MEANS IT. OBAMA, WITH THE BILLIONAIRES MONEY, THE BUNDLE MONEY OBAMA IS GETTING, THE SUPPORT OBAMA IS GETTING FROM ALL THESE TV NETWORKS./NOT SUPPORT BUT OUTRIGHTCAMPAIGNING FOR OBAMA/.I HAVE NEVER BEEN A HILLARY SUPPORTER BUT SHE IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE WOMAN OF STEEL..
SINCERELY, JIMMIE W BECK
Here is a great video on Barack Obama; please check it out.

Thank you, John Mellencamp, for supporting Senator Obama.
Questions ABC should have asked Mrs. Clinton:
1. Senator Clinton, you have been sleeping and keeping house with a known adulterer who also lied with his hand on the Bible. Why have you not denounced and rejected him? Does this mean that you approve of, even are yourself an adulterer? Why have you no respect for and do not believe in the Bible?
2. You kept your chief strategist, Mark Penn, on your payroll, although he had been working to pass free trade agreements with Columbia, also you continue to remain married to Bill, who also received $900,000 for such support, and millions more from China, Saudi Arabia, etc, known breakers of human rights and for China now with aggression against the Tibetan people. Are you therefore really for free trade and approve of China's and other nations' bad human rights record? Are you in fact a free trader and dictator at heart? Why have you not denounced and rejected Mark Penn and Bill Clinton?
3. Your daughter works for a hedgefund company on Wall Steet. Are you therefore a candidate for a hedgefund front and will take Wall Street over Main Street and over blue-collar workers? Why have you not denounced and rejected your daughter, Chelsea?
The ABC debate was disgusting--it was like watching a set-up/ambush/lynching of Senator Obama with the three on the stage doing a mob attack. It was more like a bunch of hoodlums against one honest man, with Hillary slugging him from behind. I am a senior citizen feminist who will never vote for Mrs. Clinton. Hillary believes she is entitled to her husband's ex-job, but most Americans dislike and distrust her, and on good evidence. We've watched Hillary lie with a smile on St Patrick's Day about coming under sniper fire in Bosnia. Watched her smile as she knee-caps Obama with distortions on words taken out of context. Watched her smile as she lies to blue collar workers about NAFTA and about her working class identity, she of the multimillions from shady off-shore corporations and with a Yale law-school degree put to the service of union-busting Wal-Mart. Senator Obama shows restraint and class in steering away from negative attacks on her, and whoa! is there a pile of *hit on record with the Clinton dynasty. Pardons in exchange for payback from criminals, Saudi millions for the Clinton Foundation, hundreds of thousands for support of the Colombian free trade treaty, etc, etc. Hillary cries for the camera to get the sister votes, chugs down whiskey chased with beer for the machismo barflies, and keeps intimate company with an impeached president caught lying with his hand on the Bible about not having sex with that woman. What does her sleeping with a proven adulterer and lying-under-oath President say about the company she keeps? The more we watch Hillary, the more we distrust her. The more we know Obama, the more he becomes our candidate to change dynastic business as usual in Washington. We citizens of the American Republic denounce and reject the Clinton dynasty. We want our democracy back.
Michael Moore endorses Obama
Fresh off the wires today, filmmaker Michael Moore is endorsing Barack Obama for president:
I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"
But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.
That's why the crowds who come to see him are so large. That's why he'll take us down a more decent path. That's why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election.

I don't care what anyone says -- in the primaries, this will help him, if anything.
Roberts Stadium was not built as a football stadium, Although the Evansville Blue Cats chose it for thier home games. Concerts, Basketball games and many other shows and events take place there most of the time
Attention Democratic voters, there are three requirements to become President. Be over 35 years old, be born here and win more votes (support) than any other person running. Many of the metrics you use are imagined or someone suggested to you (needs more years in DC or more big state wins). Senator Obama has led in every real metric that matters. Number of supporters, money raised and contests won. He has support from Washington insiders and outsiders that know a heck of alot more than most voters about what it takes to be the leader of the USA. Please stop trying to tell me that I can't possibly know what I'm doing by supporting this man, I've had conservatives questioning my patriotism, character and intelligence for far too long to have my overheated brothers and sisters take up that charge. I love Hillary and she is my Senator but she is not going to be our President. It's not that I think a woman shouldn't be President but this woman will never be President. Please get a grip and start thinking like Americans. My kids and your kids deserve better than this! Peace, Willy T Patriot
Senator Obama,
If you cannot find it in your heart to end this primary right now, than please stop the critical exchanges with Senator Clinton and just discuss the issues. I am concerned that the critical exchanges will tear the Democratic Party apart and at the very least keep us from solving the critical problems our country currently faces.
I don't think I can survive another four years of republican rule and I know our country can't. A Obama/Clinton team would have an opportunity to change the course of history and put our representative democracy back on track. Maybe the presidency is not about egos but rather an opportunity to set a courageous, righteous, standard.
Hillary reminds me of the evil woman in the biblical story where two women were claiming to be the mother of the same child. when Solomon proposed to cut the child in two she agreed. Solomon, then, gave the child to the one who wanted to save the child. Hilary has sacrificed the unity of her party because of her desperate need to win. She has cut the party in two and rather see Mccain ( who she would rather vote for) than see Obama wins.
Sadly, I think obama is too good and too advanced to compete with the vast ignorance, bigotry and negativity promoted by the other candidates.
Go Obama, Hilary is ruining the party; perhaps you should really research
her involvement in NAFTA that she try to explain she is not. News media did
report her meetings showing her support. After the Bosnia story, I no longer
believe her. If she spent more time discussing the needs of the country rather
than spending 50% on negative towards Obama perhaps I would vote for her.
She will try anything to support the negatives, perhaps she should express her
motives rather than express her greed. This race is not about race, it is about
the people in this country. Bill need to stay home, he had his chance, we do
not need the same. The advertising she put out about Ben L in PA what was
she saying? Obama is a good man who do believe in this country, she need to
stop spliting the peas. The Clintons do not run this country, and the White House.
The story about more debats, there were about 21, no more is needed, besides
she trys to twist the story in a wrongful way. For her attacks, I afraid she will make
decisions that would be far too forceful; she lack the calmness to make sound
decisions. It is not about gender, or anything, it is about who will make the right
judgements. You remember Wal Mart, about low wages, did not want a union,
and how decisions did affect the working class; do the research.-

Yah, Hillary has fight in her! FOR HERSELF, not for Americans. She has not fooled me with this so called touch image. She just can't stand losing which is why she is fighting so hard, nothing more. She has proved herself to be very NON-PRESIDENTIAL with her tactics. To me that says more than this "tough image" she is pushing.
