I hope Obama shuts Hillary Clinton out this coming Tuesday! He already has my vote, and I feel he is the better candidate of the two.

Hillary is too divisive and she has tried to paint herself as so experienced, but the facts prove otherwise. She is truly tied into the political machine and she does not have the leadership which America especially needs now more than ever.

God bless this country which I love!

'Hilary isn't well suited

I am not satisfied with Hilary's claim of 35 yrs experience and readiness to be president on day one. The latest report on her political and campaign management failings are in my view an indication of her poor judgement. How is she gonna be able to manage the economy if she isn't even able to manage her campaign finances?'

Thank you for paying attention

C'mon, half the voters in 2008 were barely kids in 1980 when the Bush-Clinton dynasty began. 1981-1989 daddy bush (with ronny), 1989-1993 (daddy bush with potatoe quayle), 1993-2001 slick willy clinton, 2001-2009 baby dubya bush. It's time for fresh air! Hillary should take Madeline Albright and go on a long long cruise. Liberal feminists! the topic! neither liberal nor feminist! Discuss! Why did albright state on CBS 60 minutes that killing 400,000 children (with sanctions) in baghdad was worth getting one (silly) dictator? Why did HIllary and Al Gore support the kidnapping and torture program called Extraordinary Rendition? Please see the Reese Witherspoon film from 2007 called Rendition! It was suppressed! Coffee tawk! 555-4444, discuss!

Man whenever this Guy speaks .... it shivers all my veins and touches my heart .. his voice .. his calm n humble character.. his one quote peace n hope message ... which dint changed throughout the 2004 democratic speech until now... his honesty and charismatic approach towards common issues... he is no doubt young and we need young leaders like him who are born in hundreds of generations and we are lucky to have such awesome leader who actually talks about unity...whenever he speaks "WE" Gosh it seems like some thing epic is going to happen ... honestly you guys look for your self. when hillary said on national tv that she voted in favor of a bill and she said i did voted in favor but i wish it wouldn't passed... then she was so furious that she got out of her mind and couldn't controlled her temper and said "shame on you barack obama" look at this now ... how low and cheap she could go.. its such a shame that a woman running for president and just could not control her self and temper then how would she control a country.. when she couldn't control her own campaign then how could she persist to favor this country.. she loves hispanics now ???? when she favored agains the bill for driving license for them and when obama voted in favor of it. she is nothing but by all means a low self esteem politician who could throw mud and who is not able to stand on one message even. 08' OBAMA YOU ROCK THE WORLD... GO GO GO WIN BIG OBAMA.. M FOR YOU MY HEART BELONGS TO YOU

Someone ask Bill the other day on who he will be campaigning for if Monica Lewinsky were to stand for election. "Of course I will campaign for Hilary, but I will camp out with Monica!".

I was really surprised by the extreme hatefullness of Joe's comments...On the first point, as an Obama supporter, it never crossed my mind to support him because he's black. I support him because I was impressed with his insights on U.S. foreign policy and the current lowpoint of U.S. standing in the world. Yes he is charming and charismatic and popular...Most people are naturally attracted to happiness and unlike Hillary, he seems like a stable, grounded and happy person. He's not perfect, and of course, it's the nature of competition and politics to represent yourself as such, but I still think the head and heart are much sounder than his competition. And yes, he does use some cheezy slogans and whatnot that can be a little annoying sometimes, but if you dig a little deeper and watch some of his personal interviews, you see that he has fresh insights and truly intelligient ideas on some of the nation's and world's problems.

He does not stink, we are not electing him because he's black, and I don't like kool-aid.

WHAT AMERICA BADLY NEEDS NOW IS TO CHALLENGE AND DO AWAY WITH THE DUOPOLY BY CREATING A VIABLE THIRD PARTY. AS A DISENCHANTED DEMOCRAT (PARTY NO LONGER REPRESENTS MY VIEWS AS IT HAS BECOME OVERLY LEFTIST), I AM SUPPORTING RON PAUL! I REALIZE HE HASN'T A CHANCE OFF WINNING THE NOMINATION, BUT AM DOING SO AS A PROTEST VOTE SIMILAR TO SUPPORTING ANDERSON IN THE 80'S. IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER WAKE-UP CALL!!

The debate in Cleveland would be another soap opera exposing the weaknesses of the two nominees. Americans are more interested in solutions that can bring the country forward and bring about peace to the nation and the world. My advice to them is to focus and work on their strengths to achieve this rather than shoot each other down benefitting Mc Cain in the process. Negative campaigning never works and firing salvos achieve nothing but failures. Having the last word and winning the arguement is like winning a battle but losing the war.

Billary says that she will be ready on "Day ONE". Really ??? Does she realize that HER "Day ONE" is the day after Senator Obama is nominated for President, and not January 20th ?

Is she REALLY ready for "Day ONE" ?

Daniel P from Long Island of NY 6:26PM February 26, 2008

Sometime soon after the Democratic Convention, after Billary loses the nomination, some reporter will ask Harold Ickes ( isn't that a PERFECT name for a Democrat ? ! :) ): Where did the wheels come off ?

his only possible answer: ON DAY ONE !
