Two pro-Clintons ads launched in Indiana

Ahh, the carpetbagger routine continues.

What a sham. Soon she'll talk about sailing Lake Michigan. What a crook.

Unlike BO spinning the tale of his mother supporting the family on food stamps when they didn't even exist yet.

Barack Obama] was born in 1961 but his mother could not get food stamps then because a) she was married and b) they were not available then.

Then [Barack Senior] moved to a foreign country. I don't think that we were sending food stamps to foreign nations.

When she moved back in 1965, food stamps were not available in Hawaii in 1965.

in 1967, she married the second time and moved to Jakarta. Nope, no food stamps then.

By the time she moved back once again, he was living with his grandparents who had jobs and food stamps were not being handed out like Halloween candy in those years.

Talk about Shams, what about Obama's lack of any specifics on his plans for the economy or anything else. His nomination or possible election will do us no more good than 4 - 8 more years of Bush policy under McCain. He lacks the experience to be able to pull us out of what is happening to this country. His record in Illinois & the US Senate bears this out. The Oil Magnates & the Halliburtons will run roughshod over him. This economy is being decimated by them & the thieving principles of the financial institutions. At the rate they are ripping off the American Middle Class we'll be worse off than a third world country if Obama were to become president.

I wish that Hillary Clinton truly loved this country. What she has proven to love is herself and herself alone. Hillary is willing to take the party down as low as she can. I support Obama, but if he mathematically had no chance I would want him to get out of the race. The party top dogs claim we will have time to heal well I dont believe them. This needs to be over asap, so that the nominee can focus on John McCain. I agree with LM about Clinton being a carpetbagger, where is she really from, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, where. We need to remember the most important thing is taking the White House back.

rockthe bleachers, I think some of your facts are fuzzy. Senator Obama and his mother were living in Hawaii until 1967. So she never "moved back in 1965" b/c they never left.

I hope they both stay in and fight it out to the end. I remember the conventions of years ago when the top spot was still up for grabs and the entire nation tuned in to watch history take place. Nowadays the networks do not even carry the entire convention, broadcasting only an hour or so here and there.

All this talk about it not healthy for our party is bull. Our party will pull together after the convention. I will vote for either one of them. I think the people of this country have to relax and stop being influenced by the hype the media is forcing on us.

May the best person win at the convention.

Is there a state HRC wasn't raised in?? This is getting comical. Her cynical opportunism is her most defining characteristic....discovering a lifelong desire to live in NY, at the same time a Senate seat was opening....c'mon! Can't wait until she campaigns out West and she can show us all Photoshop pics of her first remembered family trip to Oregon.....

I agree with KGSalem. All the attention is on the Democratic party, there is so much interest in the democratic candidates and democrats are the hot party right now. This is a good thing for democrats. Although I do think it's healthier if primaries don't take this long given the media hype, if anything, it's the liberal media that's tearing the democratic party apart by appealing to people's emotions instead of logic.
This aside, I think Hillary has a much better shot at winning the GE. Many republican and independent women will vote for her. Obama has the black and educated vote, which were mostly democrat anyway. We might even lose California to republicans if he wins the candidacy. BTW, if you have a blind hatred towards Hillary, it's not her, it's just your sexism peaking through.

where is she NOT from???

I am so sick of hearing the press say that if these two candidates continue it will hurt the Democratic Party. The more people that have a chance to vote the better off we will be when the convention rolls around. Too many people rely on the media's soundbites and don't question their logic. I want to see this go the very end and see how both of these candidates continue to fight for what they believe in.

Fighting Despair

So many readers seem to be feeling it. I have too. But remember what we're dealing with here: last fall, no one gave Obama a chance. It was always a very long shot. When I wrote that Obama piece, Clinton was ahead by at least 20 points and it wasn't budging a jot. Every pundit also expected the classic Clinton-Giuliani set-up for 2008: the perfect boomer red-blue battle. It didn't happen. The Republicans, from a smaller and demoralized base, gave us McCain. And the Clintons have lost the mathematical chance of winning the nomination by any fair means. The change has already happened.

Obama is a freshman senator; he is 46 years old; he is African-American; he is a liberal - even if he is very gifted in talking to conservatives. He has taken on the biggest brand and machine in American politics, the Clintons, and won. If you didn't think this would be an uphill struggle, you've been deluded. Of course, race will not go away; it will come back again and again and again. Of course, generational resistance will not go away: Obama is a big leap for the over 50s for all sorts of reasons. Of course, the usual Rovian tactics will be used against him - brutally. He does represent real change - culturally, politically, and in terms of global politics. Politicians who represent real change do not win easily; they usually require a real crisis to rise. That's how RFK and MLK emerged - in crisis, after being smeared (sometimes with a grain of truth) and finally assassinated. That's how Reagan and Thatcher emerged. We forget how their chances were considered flimsy for so long.

Obama is still in this; and the Wright fiasco gives him a chance to remove this cloud and address it again. He has the most votes, the most states, the most money, the most new voters and the most delegates and the most Senators on his side. This is no time for a failure of nerve - on the part of the Obama team or his supporters.

The only way past this is through it. And it's not just up to Obama; it's up to those of us who see him as a vehicle for real change.

Look we don't need "Fluff." It can be blown away. Obama has given us fluff and not real ideas and solutions. During debates he copies what Clinton says. My, My, didn't he learn in grade school "don't copy from your follow students."

Healthcare is the big issue. Do we need it? Yes, we do.

If you are self-employed the health care cost can be a big part of the total budget.
I know! Our health cost is equally to our house payment. We struggle to make the payment, but what about the family that cannot afford it. When those families need health care they go to the State or go without and this costs everyone.

We have wasted 8 years in many ways, let's start repairing the damage.

GO GIRL

Since when do we as a nation of immigrants deride peolple for their race, gender, religion, etc. Come on people get over it! You vote for the person you believe can bring our nation out of this economic slump, put our education system back on top, put our people back work knowing that we can produce superior products throughout the world and unite us as a nation not as Democrats, Republcans or Independents, White, Black, Red or Yellow or Protestants, Catholics, Jews or Muslims. United We Stand, Divided We Fall, what a great statement that was!

Voting for OBAMA is just like voting for an arrogant snob riding on a blind horse (LEFT WING LIBERALA) lacking specifics to sidestep ponds, gutters, and traps. Fasten your seatbelt. The called comments and criticisms negative. They would give hope and euphemisms. Then you are on your own to make it real.

To him small town rural Americans are bitterly hanging on guns and going to church to vent out their frustration. For him and the church of Rev Wright only.

IF, which is doubtful, Hillary happened to get the nomination the Republicans would hit her with: TRAVELGATE, WHITE WATER, FILEGATE, CASTLE GRANDE, TROOPER GATE, PAULA JONES, JENNIFER FLOWERS, JUANITA BROADRRICK, MONICA LEWINSKI, VINCE FOSTER, PETER PAUL, SNIPER-GATE BOSNIA, NAFTA, CAFTA, BILL CLINTONS SPEAKING FEE'S IN NOT SO FRIENDLY ALLY COUNTRIES, DONORS LIST FOR CLINTON LIBRARY AND CLINTON FOUNDATION.....(which she STILL will not produce...but they will force)

jay the only thing hillary has given us in lies as well. You can't notice the difference in policy coz they are from the same party and have the same policies i think the only person people would vote for the one who tells lies the twists things around like a typical politician and hillary is a typical politician. If you also check her out more maybe you will know what i am talking about you call obama's skeleton's many well she has a warehouse and knows how to control the media so the skeletons wont come out. If BO was playing her game then you would maybe see who she really is.
