Clinton has small edge in Indiana, poll says

Go Operation Chaos!

We'll see how "small" her lead over Barack is, won't we?

I can no more separate myself from the Reverend Wright than I can seperate myself from the black community. ... but Barack is an honorable man. ET TU Barack

Republicans obviously love that the contest drags on and will do everything in their power to drag it further. If it drags on till the convention, will the Democrats have enough time to point out how out of step McSame is with what America wants? Only time will tell.

If the democrats nominate Obama for president, I am afraid Americans will vote Republicans and help McCain win; so the democrats must understand my gut fear that if they want to win this election, they must nominate Hilary or they will be sorry lateron, when they are defeated by McCain, who will most likely carry on the same war mongering policies of George W. Bush, and let America slide further into recession by ignoring the economy. Whenever, there is a nasy fight in you home, the enemies always benefit. So smarten up, and Give Hilary a chance, America.

It appears that if the earlier primary and caucuss states were not swayed by Sen Obama's charm and eloquence, they ought to have questioned his impeccability as hardly there is a politician without some kind of baggage. These qualities in Sen Obama is still, in my opinion, not making supporters look for real meat in his campaign which has generated his supporters' hatred for his opponent. This is no longer a civil campaign and smirks of hopelessness. I know a global television network that is acting as the Obama's campaign headquarters. This network wants to be the king maker and always at the back and call of its radio wing to propagate Obama's agenda. We all have to be careful in our beliefs to ensure that our passion does not lead the nation to the kind of leadership we have today.

go sit down Hillary!!

Hopefully the Superdelegates will take into account that the Republicans are the ones voting for Clinton because they know that she will be easy to beat in November. Maybe by the next election, the Republicans will not be allowed to switch back and forth. This is typical Republican Party tactics. They strive on deception and hate.

I REALLY HOPE THAT SENATOR OBAMA WINS BOTH STATES. HOWEVER, IF HE SOMEHOW DOES NOT WIN THE NOMINATION, I WILL VOTE FOR SENATOR CLINTON IN NOVEMBER. SENATOR McCAIN IS A GOOD HONEST MAN, BUT HAS THE WRONG IDEAS ON SEVERAL CRITICAL ISSUES.

America was not founded on fear. We must rise above it.

Look closely. Clinton has NOT made a strong case for greater experience. She has simply used fear to imply it.

Obama learned from EXPERIENCE that a gas-tax holiday would not help consumers. He shows SOUND JUDGEMENT in saying that we need to focus on higher fuel efficiency and alternative fuels to solve the economic, environmental, and SECURITY issue that is our dependence on oil.

His health care plan avoids penalizing those who would not be able to afford health insurance. This shows a NUANCED understanding, and consideration for struggling Americans. This plan will also have greater appeal to libertarians/ independent type and will have a greater chance of getting signed into law.

EVEN TEMPERAMENT, sound judgement, INTEGRITY, carefully chosen strong language - these are the things we need in a commander in chief. Obama has the confidence of many high level elected officials.

Threats of "Obliteration", Authorization of the Iraq war - Things we DO NOT need in a commander in chief. These things put us in greater danger. We do not take lightly the collateral damage implied here. How might Iranian-Americans feel?

Obama has lived abroad. He has an inside perspective on multiculturalism. The world is growing smaller. America is growing more diverse. We need a president with a deep understanding of these things.

We have had enough of the games and manipulations of the status quo. Obama CAN begin to change the game. He has done so much that is unprecedented already.

I don't have to say much ! but only believe that if Obama got the nomination we will have four more years Bush administration!!!!!with President McCain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most up-to-date New Nationwide Poll conducted May 1-4 by The USA Today/
Gallup survey showed that Senator Hillary Clinton leads Obama by 7 percent. The re-appearance of Obama's ex-pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's controversial antt-white and anti-American statements has changed significantly the momentum
in favor of Clinton. Before the re-emergence of Rev. Wright, Obama was leading
Clinton by 10% points in supper nationwide poll two weeks ago. The 17% net gain
by Hillary is HUGE enough to convince the Demorcratic superdelegates to elect
Senator Hillary Clinton to be the Dems Presidential Primary nominee. This will
guarantee that the next US President will be a Democtrat.

Perhaps those voters are involving themselves in the Dem. primary because they could vote for either McCain or Clinton, given the circumstances of the general election. Both are centrist candidates, while Obama is not. When will Democrat operatives realize that the electorate is centrist, not extremely to the left. That's why Republicans are salivating at the thought of Obama as an opponent in the general election! I've been waiting for 8 years to see the last of Bush, and now extremists, the media, and people who couldn't be bothered registering and voting in 2004 are going to lose us the White House one more time!

I hope this poll is wrong, and Barack Obama wins the state of Indiana. He's a wonderful man and will be a great leader. We desperately need him in the White House. .

Republicans might well be meddling in the Democratic campaign in Indiana to boost Hilary's position. My concern is that the Clinton years have seemingly been off limits during this campaign because of the neat position that the Obama campaign has put forward. To be confronted by all the numerous skeletons falling out of the closet at a time we are poised to win will be catastrophic for the Democrats. Some Democrats think Hilary is the evil we know. The evil from the eyes of the Republicans might be the devil incarnate come November and cause Democrats to loose. This is because Democrats at this time are viewing the Clinton years in a light most favorable to themselves. Aside from the distraction posed by Wright, there is little Republicans can say about Obama.

Democrats have to decide whether to support the Clinton strategy of veering to the right and mobilizing uneducated racists, or the Obama strategy of mobilizing a new generation of Democrats with a message of no more business as usual.

The super-delegates have to decide whether our party's future lies with the uneducated or the new generation. Which will it be?

The rascist rightwing media is doing all they can to keep the Wright issue alive, because they don't won't someone in the Whitehouse who will regulate their industry.

I can't believe Obama is still polling this close to Clinton.

I mean, after a month of Rev. Wright talking nonsense, that last Roast, posing as a Debate, and Hillary's new-found gasoline throwing campaign tactics, one would figure he'd be getting killed in a "White, Working Class" state like Indiana.

What could be keeping him so close?

Could it be that some of the electorate are not as racist and stupid as the media is trying to portray? Could it be that Obama really doesn't scare anyone? Crazy, huh?

The Wall Street Journal reports that Obama may have offered the Teamsters a quid pro quo in order to win the endorsement. "Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama campaign. It's an unusual stance for a presidential candidate. Policy makers have largely treated monitoring of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters as a legal matter left to the Justice Department since an independent review board was set up in 1992 to eliminate mob influence in the union."

Both demo candidates would sink our energy cababilities, cripple our "best in the world" health care, open the gates to more illegal alliens, encourage our enemies to bolder action, tax us to oblivion, reward the irresponsible, continue the sham of minority non-participation public education, and cave in to irragional kyotogorewarming advocates. Think carefully, who would Chavez vote for, who would Bin Laden vote for, who would the Weathermen vote for? Both are racists, one is the very definition of sleaze, the other is the Manchurian Candidate.

The music stopped Hillary. Better sit down fast! Oops too late. You just lost your seat in the Senate. Happy trails you wanna-be republican cowboy.

OBAMA o8

where's the shrinking 3 point spread in NC? Globe always skips the most favorable HRC polls and has given Obama a headline almost every day in the last week, fair and balanced?

The only thing I can say, as a foreigner, is if Obama is nominated, McCain will defeat him in a landslide style in November. Wake up, stupid Americans.

I read this on another blog and thought it was dead on:

The Politics of Fear
There is so much nonsense about this so-called "20 year relationship" with a pastor, that everyone is skirting the real issue. There are some people and politicians who try to lay out the case that voting for Obama would "set back racial relations for 40 years", or that a candidate for president like Obama would somehow lead to total anarchy; total division.

Really. Race relations are great now, right? A politician and her husband constantly denigrates an honorable man playing on the lowest common denominator of race baiting and fear mongering (he's not a Muslim...as far as I know...) or "He won South Carolina just like Jessie Jackson", or perhaps he doesn't share "our" values. All are racial code words.

Perhaps the whopper, "I would never stay at THAT church with THAT pastor", conveniently forgetting that Rev Wright was called TO the White House to pray FOR Bill Clinton in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Anything and everything has been insinuated to cause reasonable people to fear the "unknown Black candidate".

Unfortunately, racism, like any other destructive impulse or thought is based on fear. Ultimately fear of what is not familiar. This cuts both ways; ALL of us are guilty to a certain extent. Knowledge and understanding overcomes fear and bias. Willingness to address the common fears and overcome them in individual interactions, as well as between groups and nations; represents the best chance for humanity. Ignoring or pandering to fear only perpetuates the problem.

The problem with racism is that it is far more than the overt signs of the past. Everyone remembers the images of different water fountains, lunch counters, and protest marches. In today's world, those images no longer exist.

I believe there is a more insidious problem that is just below the surface. This is a fear that can be tapped in both sides by just the right spin or rhetoric.

Throw in the mix an egotistical narcissistic former pastor goaded into maintaining his 15 minutes of fame in front of a rabid ravenous press corps, and this fear of the "Black Candidate" comes to the surface.

If you truly objectively analyze all of the public (and private) statements of Obama, there is not one instance where there is the suggestion of vitriol currently being ascribed to him. What about the "bitter" comments? Who isn't bitter after 5 years of Iraq, 7 years of a tanking economy, 15 years of unaffordable bad healthcare, and scandal after scandal representing the "Washington way of doing things"? Clinging to guns and religion? Who among us doesn't retreat to familiar forms of comfort when times are bad?

Elitist? A man, raised first in a single parent home, then by his grandparents, is called elitist; while his opponents had privileged lives, made millions in bogus salaries, and are given a pass on this issue.

What is the real issue? The real issue is whether you will allow your vote to be influenced by fear or hope. If you are afraid of a "Black President", and you need "justification" by using the Rev Wright controversy confirm your previously held deep-seated opinion, by all means vote for Hillary Clinton. She has based her candidacy based on fear, and innuendo (remember the Bin Laden ad in Pa., 3 am phone call in Texas); you will be rewarded by the same in Washington by voting for her. Because whether she or McCain wins, there will be no help on the economy, no long-term health care plan, no change in Iraq (McCain), and most importantly, politics governed by lobbyist favors, back room deals, and personal enrichment of the politicians involved.

If on the other hand, you can see past the destructive fear and hate spin, and truly want to reform Washington, remove the influence of PAC's, lobbyists, political fat cats, foreign government influence (China, Colombia), corporations (Halliburton), lies (Weapons of Mass Destruction, Bosnia, Northern Ireland), and finally have a government that we the people can finally be a part of, then the choice is clear.

Senator Obama is a candidate that has real solutions for the economy and energy crisis, not a gimmicky gas tax "rebate" which will end up costing much more in infrastructure repairs and ultimately higher gas prices. What he offers is a real health care policy that doesn't punish those that cannot afford to pay; a coherent Middle Eastern policy that doesn't threaten to nuke Iran if they threaten the oil sheikdoms of UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan; a military policy that will focus on the real terrorism battle in Pakistan and Afghanistan; and an environmental policy that will create new green industry jobs through the aggressive support of new energy initiatives.
This is why there is huge grassroots and financial support for Obama. Support that neither Hillary; Bill, nor McCain can match.
The choice is Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States.

Walt, Ohio

as a life-long democrat, i have to say that if obama gets the nomination
i will under no circumstances vote for him. he doesn't have the experience,
intellect, or common sense to lead our nation out of the extremely difficult
situation we're in now.

Note to Operation Chaos Commandos:

Welcome your next President of the United States:

PRESIDENT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!

Billary's tactics are an obamanation!

I can't remember if I send this to you yesterday. If so, I apologize. Be sure to note Obama's racial make-up.

Whatever your voting decision is....you HAVE TO READ this about this FRAUD running for office....
He's far more dangerous than even Clinton!!!!!!

1.) Selma Got Me Born
LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961
Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
(Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)
2.) Father Was A Goat Herder
LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter
LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.
4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom
LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya.
It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it
and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower.
You interrupted your NH campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.
Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more. http://biz.yahoo.com/ibd/080115/issues.html?.v=1
Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there.
When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and
children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election
process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian
LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 am according to her own interviews.
Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
6.) My Name is African Swahili
LIAR, your name is Arabic & 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language.
Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President.
Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.
While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs.
Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to..... http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-American,_only_6.25%25_African
7.) I Never Practiced Islam
LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
4-3-08 Article 'Obama was 'quite religious in islam'' http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559
8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian
LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
February 28, 2008.
Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.'
This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'
9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian
LIAR, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience
LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language.
What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.
11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs
LIAR, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.
12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion
LIAR, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine.
13.) An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office
LIAR, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.
14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life
LIAR, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.
15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08
LIAR, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.
16.) Present Votes Are Common In Illinois
LIAR, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.
17.) Oops, I Misvoted
LIAR, only when caught by church groups and democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.
18.) I Was A Professor Of Law
LIAR, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.
19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer
LIAR, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.
20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill
LIAR, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it, or create it.
21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass
LIAR, it took just 14 days from start to finish.
22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill
LIAR, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear Donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.
23.) I Have Released My State Records
LIAR, as of Mar, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests hidden within.
24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess
LIAR, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.
25.) My Economics Bill Will Help America
LIAR, your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.
26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois
LIAR, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.
27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year
LIAR, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.
28.) No One Contacted Canada About NAFTA
LIAR, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.
29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism
LIAR, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel.
30.) I Am Not Acting As President Yet
LIAR, after the NAFTA Memo, a dead terrorist in the FARC, in Colombia, was found with a letter stating how you and he were working together on getting FARC recognized officially.
31.) I Didn't Run Ads In Florida
LIAR, you allowed national ads to run 8-12 times per day for two weeks - and you still lost.
32.) I Won Michigan - LIAR, no you didn't.
33.) I won Nevada - LIAR, no you did not.
34.) I Want All Votes To Count - LIAR, you said let the delegates decide.
35.) I Want Americans To Decide
LIAR, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.
36.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate - LIAR, you passed 26, most of which you didn't write yourself.
37.) My Campaign Was Extorted By A Friend
LIAR, that friend is threatening to sue if you do not stop saying this. Obama has stopped saying this.
38.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics - LIAR, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.
39.) I Don't Take PAC Money - LIAR, you take loads of it.
40.) I don't Have Lobbyists - LIAR, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.
41.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad
LIAR, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.
42.) My Campaign Never Took Over MySpace
LIAR, Tom, who started MySpace issued a warning about this advertising to MySpace clients.
43.) I Inspire People With My Words - LIAR, you inspire people with other people's words.
44.) I Have Passed Bills In The U.S. Senate
LIAR, you have passed A BILL in the U.S. Senate - for Africa, which shows YOUR priorities.
45.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq
LIAR, you weren't in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich, who seems to be out gutting you Obama. You also seem to be stepping back from your departure date - AGAIN.
46.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care
LIAR, your plan leaves us all to pay for the 15,000,000 who don't have to buy it.

God Bless America and Her Defenders!

The Republicans realize that their usual strategy of divide and conquer may not work this time, even with the media fueling their divisive tactics. People are beginning to realize that all the hate speech, saber rattling and intolerance is bringing this country down, and the fact that the Administration's lied its way through this posturing is particularly offensive to all. No matter what they claim, Hillary Clinton is, and always has been a better target because of the Integrity issue, all the lying, manipulation, and pandering-- in the end, regardless of the issues, the electorate does not want to be lied to. It will be fairly easy for this contrast to be made between Clinton and McCain (who appears to be much more honest, even to his detriment) and the Republicans know it. You know the Peter Paul issue will surface again (election fraud), along with Bill Clinton's suspect practices since leaving office. Don't be fooled, they want Clinton, because they have spent years preparing for this assault.

I am tired of both Hillary and Obama, in my opinion we should take them both off the ballot and start the nomination process over without those two. Let everyone back in except them and have winner take all states instead of the stupid splitting of delegates. Lets get this thing over with so we can get a good candidate to beat McCain. Right now, neither one of them will beat him.

Obama is done.

Here is why

http://www.audacityofHypocrisy.com

YOU KNOW MEDIA CHANGE THIS WHOLE PRIMARY INTO A RACE GAME. BECAUSE WHEN HE WON IOWA AND OTHER STATES THAT DON'T HAVE A HEAVY BLACK POPULATION IT WASN'T ABOUT RACE. BUT YOU GO TO STATES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA AND INDIANA YOU HAVE THE "WHITE COLLAR WHITE MAN VOTE" TELLING EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT BECAUSE WHITE MEN HAVE ALL THE SAY SO IN THIS PRIMARY.

WE HAVE BLACK WORKING MEN, HISPANIC WORKING MEN AND OTHER RACES FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMAN THAT ARE WORKING CLASS. BUT THE MEDIA MAKES IT SEEMS THAT ONLY THING THAT MATTERS OR MATTER IS PENN. & INDIANA.

STOP TRYING TO FOOL PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING THAT WHAT REALLY COUNTS. PEOPLE OF ALL RACES ARE NOT STUPID, BUT WHERE TIRED OF LIVING THE WAY WE ARE LIVING.

ONE THING NEITHER CLINTON NOR McCAIN CAN SAY IS THAT THEY CAN BRING OTHER PARTIES TOGETHER. THEY ARE NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL! AND IF YOU ARE A DEM. YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO VOTE DEM. IN NOVEMBER AND NOT VOTE JUST REPUBLICAN BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE OTHER CANDIDATE. THAT IS REAL STUPID PEOPLE!

KEEP "RACE", "GENDER" OUT! PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE AND VOTE BECAUSE OF RACE AND GENDER.

PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES PLEASE, PLEASE.

" DO THE RIGHT THING"

THANK YOU

Beleive It! The Rinos will be out in force tomorrow in Indy to vote for Hillary. The Republicans DO NOT want to run against Obama in November and have been saving their ammo and sniper fire for old Hillary. So if you want to help the Republicans drag this Democrat election out, vote for Hillary.With the 20% Democrats and the 38% Rinos voting for her, she can win Indy. YEA, Rush Limbaugh, your strategy is working. Too bad some of these Dumb-a** Democrats don't listen to Rush and the rest of the Republican elete radio broadcasters. They would know the Republicans don't want to run against Abama.

The problem with Clinton is that if she is made the nominee, millions of voters will feel disenfranchised. There is no way for her to win without a disproportionate amount of super delegates going her way. This would make the process seem far from democratic especially, I fear, to Black Americans who may rightly feel that their nominee was robbed. Support reason.

Those who look at polls as evidence of Clinton's advatages should consider this:
How will Clinton's chances vs. McCain look when the GOP stops working FOR her? Even KARL ROVE has written articles trying to bolster her momentum. We all know what his agenda is.

Obama has been remarkably resilient in the face of weeks of illigitimate bad press. It's a long way til November. How would Hillary "sniper fire" Clinton look against John "war hero" McCain?

Obama's advantages:

-Did not support the Iraq war
-did not pander to the voter's with destructive gas-tax holiday (economic, environmental, and SECURITY issue)
-legions of energized inspired supporters to campaign for him
-health care plan that does not punish struggling Americans, and does not take away choice...this will be less threatening to independents, and will be more likely to pass into law, giving more Americans affordable health care
-even in PA, voters gave Obama a stronger honesty rating
-Powerful fund-raising resources which cut out special interests and empower small donors.
-No dynasty
-Eloquence, charisma, and youth
-Did not threaten to "obliterate Iran". Does this make us safer or simply increase tensions? who among us cares nothing for the implied collateral damage to the innocent people living in Iran? What might Iranian-Americans think?
-willing to fight against special interests and the status quo instead of making excuses
-real focus on ethics
-does not use fear to manipulate voters and imply experience that can not otherwise be demonstrated

A special thanks to Hillary Clinton and her bitch groupies for handing the white house to the republicans in November. I am disgusted. Ultra-feminism and racism ruin us this time instead of the usual christian conservatives.

Audacity:
Nobody is listening to this stuff anymore. It's too far out (absurd) and filled with too much hate. Go to your militia, clan or NRA meeting down at the hall where you can drink your shots and beers and find a sympathetic ear to slobber on. Your days of influencing anyone but the far far right are over.

Hey, Jerry Wayne, What or how old are you with your "Liar, Liar. Your Pants are on Fire" tiraid. "Don't you know nuttin honey?" How long did it take you to cut and paste that TRASH???

Rush Limbaugh has waaaay too much effect on this campaign. Democrats, look at the reasons why so many Republicans are switching over and consider your vote!

Voters are now beginning to see the true Obama instead of some persona created by marketing media. The Wright episode is his first experience in national politics, and his response is no different than what any experienced politician would have given and would have advised him to. All those who dreamed that he is and will be different, wake up! One person cannot change an entire system in one election exercise. It takes someone who KNOWS the system and its failures to change it, not some "fresh-faced" politician, who will simply be drowned by the system.

Hillary has won enough votes to be a candidate. If the Democrative Party doesn't nominate her, she should run as an independent. She has won more support than any previous independent candidates.

It will be President McCain if OBAMA is the dem's nominee. Obama will be portrayed as he IS; a bitter, empty, know-nothing politician.

HILLARY IS OUR BEST BET.....GO HILLARY!!

OBAMA IS LIEING WHEN HE SAID HE WAS POOR AND WORKED HIS WAY UP. HE WAS BORN INTO A WEALTHY FAMILY. HE HAS NEVER WANTED ANYTHIN IN HIS LIFE THAT MONEY COULD BUY. HILLARY CLINTON ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS BORN MIDDLE CLASS AND HAD TO WORK HER WAY UP. OBAMA WILL SAY ANYTHING TO GET A VOTE AND THEN LAUGH ABOUT THE PEOPLE; HILLARY CLINTON WOULD HAVE ALREADY WON BUT OBAMA PULLED OUT OF FLORIDA WHEN HE SAW HE WAS LOSING. THAT CAUSED MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA WHO MAINLY VOTED FOR HILLARY TO LOOSE ALL THOSE VOTES; HILLARY CLINTON CHALLENGED OBAMA TO DO A DEBATE BEFORE THE INDIANA NORTH CAROLINA VOTES, BUT HE WOULD NOT DO IT, HE KNEW HE WOULD LOOSE IF HE DID IT BEFORE THE VOTES WERE IN. NOW HE SAYS HE WILL DEBATE ANYBODY ANYWHERE . IT IS TO LATE NOW AFTER THE ELECTION TUESDAY. THIS MAN IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALOT OF PEOPLE WHINK HE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT SO HE WILL HAVE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS; HE WAS IN NEW YORK THE DAY OF THE 9/11 ATTACH DOING COCAINE WITH A HIGH UP OFFICIAL; HE HAS BEN LADEN PICTURE AND NAME ON HIS WEBSITE PLUS REV. WRIGHT AND THE CHURCH HE IS GOING TO IS IN TOGETHER;

As an outsider looking in, I am continuously shocked at comments like "If Obama is nominated, I will vote for McCain". That statement says it all. You NEVER would have voted for Obama, so why make such stupid remarks. All of the media, especially CNN are trying their best to make Americans feel that Obama thinks and acts just like Rev. Wright. Hillary Clinton is NEVER asked about Rev. Wright being in the White House giving them advice about Bill's affair. Why? You Americans need to ask yourself that question. Also, if what Rev. Wright said about America is what changed your mind about Obama, why are so many of you who wanted to support him so quick to change your mind. Are you telling me that you don't have family and friends who hate other races, make it very clear to you that they do and STILL don't change you or make you want to join their stupid thinking.
Why are you people so gullible. Obama would be the BEST thing to heal the tremendous amount of damage done by George Bush to the image of America to all of us in other parts of the world who are different in color and religious beliefs, but we love America, and we will not let ONE man (George Bush) change our thinking because of his idiotic policies and neither should you change yours because of one man named Wright. What I would advise is that 8 years of Bush and 8 years of Clintons is ENOUGH for the most powerful country in the world, try something new, someone different, someone who wants tounity all races, who wants Americans to realise Martin Luther Kings dream and judge one another by the content of that persons character and NOT the color of their skin. God Bless America. God bless Senator Obama.

Anyone care that the Clinton v. Paul trial is starting soon? A candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America has been ordered to testify after the election......and we are not hearing about it in the news. Have we lost the plot?

Republicans have led this country down a rat-hole. They are liars, bigots, generally vermin...

Rev. Wright made those comments in 2003. Did Obama and has family applaud with the rest of the people? Why did he continue to attend? Why did he not denounce him in 2003? Why did he wait until 2008?

clinton strategy is to ruin Obama until he is not electable, thats pretty nasty, of course Obama cannot play the same game! how low can someone bring Hillary? she is at the bottom already and she knows that, a cheating husband already probed to be a lier and etc

and what is the big deal about Rev Wright?? didn't MLK say the same things? didn't he criticize US foreign policy even more than Wright?? how come he is he hero and Wright is the shit??

I keep seeing comments about democrats voting for McCain if Obama is the nominee. Do they really think this threat is going to help poor Hillary out? Does she really think that by trying to change the number of delegates needed to win its going to help. Does she really think these things are going to happen? Just like the gas tax relief won't happen and she knows it won't.
I don't here a lot of Obama supporters claim to go republican if Hillary can steal the nomination.
Well heres one. Me. I have watched, read and absorbed everything since the primary season started. Its literally my breakfast and dinner and I can't and won't vote for Hillary. She is in a dream and thats dangerous for a C. in Cheif.

I do

This is extremely interesting and everyone should see it. Would love to read the feedback /comments.

Visualize Obama winning the nomination. Then visualize Obama debating McBush. Then visualize Einstein debating a carrot. Presto! Democratic President.

Seen from Europe this whole thing is crazy. You have a fantastic candidate who could change the concept of the US in the eyes of the World AT ONCE.
I am, of course, referring to Barack Obama.
At times I (We) do think that a lot of you do not deserve this fantastic person.
This opportunity won´t happen again in decades.
What you will get, of course, is what you (the majority) voted for.
Just what happened in 2000 and 2004.

One question: why did polls be ordered and printed every few daze in Pa but the poll in Indiana was ancient history..done on April 25 th ? Did no university or the the Star itself just run out of funds or interest ? But April 25 th Pleeeeeeeze

I don't want Senator Clinton to win the Democratic nomination for President of the United States because she lacks integrity and honesty. For goodness sake's, she lied about having a death defying experience in Bosnia and the worst part of it, is that the Media allowed it to slide by without much scrutiny. And what about former President Clinton's paid speaking engagements in Latin America? The speaking engagements were in support of a free trade agreement with Colombia. How come that didn't ruffle any feathers? Americans continually complain about the loss of jobs due to free trade agreements and yet, nobody questioned Senator Clinton about this! According to Senator Clinton, she is agains this agreement, which is very difficult for me to believe. I believe that Senator Clinton is playing dirty politics and I don't trust her at all. I hope the people in Indiana and North Carolina make the right choice today! I believe Senator Barack Obama is the person who can get this country out of the rut that it is in. There is no way I can trust a leader who cries on national television (which she did when polls indicated she was losing New Hampshire, I guess the tears worked because she won the state) and I cannot trust a leader who will go on national television to scold someone (which is what she did when she found out the Barack Obama campaign circulated flyers showing where she truly stands on free trade). Senator Clinton's foreign policy scares the crap out of me. How can she state that the US would "obliterate" Iran if they attacked Israel. First and foremost, that statement is very irresponsible. I rather give my vote to a candidate who knows that diplomacy is the key to averting disasters such as the one we currently find ourselves in, i.e. Iraq! Barack Obama all the way!
