Maine congressman backs Obama

I only have seven words for the delegates suddenly moving towards Obama and whom can't patiently wait for the race to end thus showing some true respect for the symbol of our first woman president:

"Hell hath no fury like women scorn!"

Good luck boys! I'm certainly glad I'm gay!

These are unsettling times and what congressman Allen said is true, that we need to be united. This election must be settled on the economic, individual freedom and foreign policy issues of the day. The economy must stop being measured solely in terms of GDP growth and add wage growth into the determination of economic health. Preservation of individual freedoms including the right to make medical decisions about ones body needs protection. Lastly Afghanistan and Pakistan must become the focus of anti-terrorist activity and a commitment to work with others to keep the world safe must be our focus.

None of this will come from John McCain. In fact he will subvert all of these objectives. These changes will start moving our country in the right direction. Is that not what this election should be about?

hey look clinton is the one for president. you cannot trust obama at all.

OH YES OBAMA CAN!!! EAT YOUR HEART OUT HILLARY, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, OBAMA COMING THROUGH!

As an unenrolled voter, I support Obama because of his positive message. While I agree with the policies Clinton talks about, her campaign style leaves me cold. I hate to say it, but her slash and burn campaign tactics are just too familiar. I think part of the horror of the past 7+ years has been a president who grabbed too much power. Clinton gives me the impression she covets the power Bush has grabbed and would just wield it differently. Obama seems genuinely to believe, like I do, that Congress should make law, the president should set a tone, set foreign policy within the laws that Congress makes, and the Supreme Court should decide whether either of the other two branches are overstepping their Constitutional bounds.

If we get another republican for president, we might as well move to the middle east, since that's all they seem to care about. We need a president that can relate to the common man. Ms Clinton should step down for the good of the Democratic party. Go Obama.

Jon, I agree w/ you as you have posted the most intelligent message I have read so far on these blogs...anywhere...PERIOD!

Good for Maine...good for Obama...Great for the US.

Thank you Tom Allen. As an Independent I think it is important for the Democratic Party Leaders to understand that many many many of us will vote Republican if the name Hillary is on the ballot! We dont't want her as President OR Vice President. Period.
Give me someone I can be Proud to Vote into Office!
Give me Obama!

Not only are the Americans all eyes on the USA Presidential Campaign but foreigners are keeping tabs from around the globe. As a educated, mature, white, Canadian citizen (whom has been following the campaign on a day-to-day bases), I will say the only person that I can see as a front runner from all three candidates is Senator Obama. He has maintained a positive campaign and offers change to Washington and the people of the USA like no other candidate in the history of the US Presidential Campaign.I believe in the years to come as President he will prove himself to the people of the US and world. His organizational skills throughout his campaign has been outstanding and impressive to say the least. This candidate has demonstrated the ability to build bridges and unite people at home regardless of race, religion, age or gender etc( Do you see either Clinton or McCain having this natural talent to bring people together?). In addition, His foresight and strategic planning has acquired respect from around the globe.

He would certainly get my vote if I were living in the US.

I do not believe that it is helping when people call on Senator Clinton to step aside. That is a blatant slap in the face to her and to her supporters. To continue this call for her to step aside is hardening her supporters stance on not voting for him in the general election. I am one of those. I will not support a candidate that does not have the Political Wisdom, Political Knowledge, nor has been fully vetted or hasn't showed us what his values are. I know nothing about Barak Obama. I am firmly behind the true Democratic Nominee, Hillary Clinton. No one will convince me that this newbie is going to move the country forward. Not one of you new who he was until he started running for president. He is a joke!

I just signed up to work on your campaign a few weeks ago. Forget it Tom. You couldn't even wait a few weeks to let this play out? This is a very close election. Hilary has a lot of supporters. The one's I've talked to today are not very impressed with your decision. I'm not only unimpressed, I'm so disappointed in you. You really didn't need to do this.

Why is everyone so quick to jump to a liar's side? Why is everyone taken in by this two faced charlatan? Why can't those Yahoos see that he is evil, EVIL! He is the worst kind of politician because he's gonna tout change and reform in front of a nation battling a recession and they're going to believe him. The only good thing about Obama is his nose is the right color for the shmoosing he's been doing to sway party delegates to his side. My vote and my family members votes will go to someone that isn't unpatriotic, muslim, racist and twofaced.

"Geral"??? Hmm... "liar's side". Um mm "evil". His nose is the "right color"? "Muslim", et.al. ? What a joke you are; really, really sad!
