Lucy Ricardo is an ignorant mouth, repeating like a parrot that republican cliché.
"Feeding the bears in the national forest". "They learn to expect it and become hostile when they don’t get it".
Who is the bear if not a person which pays for the feeding?

When John Edwards wins the election!Which I believe he will if the american people would open their eyes and realize hes the canidate whos willing to fight for us! Kerry will look like an ass once again!

I'd like to remind everyone that Edwards beat Clinton in Iowa.

Come on South Carolina!

Come on Nevada!

Everyone needs to go cast their vote!

Edwards is still in this and can still be our nominee!

Sen. Kerry is about as relevant as Waldo. Maybe Kerry is sucking up for a VP spot. He has no discernable "code", that's for certain. Can one imagine what the world would look like (1) year after an Oprama-Kerry Administration has taken control of the WH? It would be time to move to Canada and try and forget the whole mess.

The comment by "jazziette" was the best I think I have read anywhere, either by a public figure or just someone blogging away. She asked, "Why Obama."
It gelled all that has been bothering me about the man and what I have been trying, less eloquently, to argue when the subject comes up. How can the voters trust a man, who has so little experience, with the most important job in the world!! How did a first time senator get to be so prominent? Are the voters so sick of all the known faces that they will risk all on a fresh face that they cannot possibly know?

I ask how!

How did Barack Obama arrive at such a high level of public awareness as a Freshman Senator? What unknown forces have catapulted him to this sudden and unexpected level of National prominence?

Is our country so desperate for a hero that they are are willing to make the same mistake they did in voting for the inexperienced George W. Bush in 2000 and the actor Ronald Reagan in 1980?

Is our country so gullible that they could actually select a candidate based upon their imitation of John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, rather than their history of accomplishments and service to this country?

If I were ill and looking for a doctor to heal me, I would select the best and most experienced doctor I could find who specialized in the area of my illness.

I would most certainly not choose my doctor from the eloquent manner in which he spoke or the clever and expensive ads that promoted his practice.

I would want someone who was proven to have extensive knowledge and a verifiable history of success in the specific area of my illness.

I would definitely not want someone right out of Medical School.

This country is sick and needs to be healed. Why even consider selecting someone who has not had the best record and experience in government that we can possibly find?

Why gamble with an unknown whose meteoric rise to prominence can only be attributed to behind the scene forces of great power and wealth to whom he will owe his allegience - rather than to the Consitution of the United States of America.

Why are so many people willing to gamble their freedoms, their fortunes and their futures on someone with such limited experience and unexplained elevation to stardom?

I ask why?

I heard that like Clinton, Obama got most of his money from large donors though he has far and away the most small donors. Objective correction would be welcome. Edwards is willing and able to fight the establishment while Kerry and Obama want to make nice. Obama still hasn`t shown that he is anything more than an empty suit that can make a great aspirational speech. Hillary probably has too much baggage, namely, Bill. He did advocate for racial profiling by the police.

John Kerry lost to incumbent Bush and you all hate him for that? He is still respcted among Democrats.

We have short memory that the Clintons are scandalous in their own administratin. Travelgate, whitewater, Norman Hsu, Vince Foster.... Etc. They also have a lot to do with the rise of Wal-mart.

Oh Hillary also openly take campaign money from corporations and lobbyists, those are the people whom she swore to fight. How exactly is she going to do that?

She just came out with a plan that will spend 75 billions $ that's similar to John Edwards' 25 billions $ plan. That's irresponsible spending.

Oh i forgot to mention her healthcare plan in the 90s included a fine/penalty if you do not purchase it. That's forcing people to buy something they can't afford.

Hillary is going down. I'm for anyone but hillary

THE ONLY reason Kerry (since being known as a LOSER to an IDIOT since 2004) chose to support Obama, IS THAT @ THE TIME, IT HAD JUST BECOME APPARENT TO ALL, THAT OBAMA WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET (C'MON, LOOK @ THE TIMING AS TO WHEN KERRY ANNOUNCED THIS)! Kerry has NO class, he IS merely an opportunist! (Hope he kicks himself, once he realizes that Obama AIN'T going ANYWHERE!!!)

Apparently the Democrats have no problem with back stabbing each other. From past history they haven’t had a problem with doing that to the American people. They prey too easily on the vulnerabilities of each other and the American people. There seems to be plenty voting for these candidates to get new entitlements to cripple segments of the population and to burden those that struggle for an honest day’s wage. Socialism has the same affect as feeding the bears in the national forest. They learn to expect it and become hostile when they don’t get it. Some of the kindest and most honorable people I know have worked their lifetime for what they have and appreciated what little they do have. They have so little for what they work for because they have to pay too much in taxes to appease the opportunist and the lazy. Don’t get me wrong, we need good and genuine programs to assist the downtrodden and Americans with disabilities.

Mark 2008 as the year that Americans started voting for the highest office in the land like it's 'American Idol'....Barack Obama has never run a city, never run a state, never run a business, has no foreign policy experience and very modicum of foreign policy knowledge. His fuel are hypnotized Sanjaya crazed fans and NBC News/MSNBC/Newsweek..He'll be hittin empty pretty soon..

its ok that kerry didnt endorse edwards. lets just ask kerry again in a few weeks and he'll flip-flop back to edwards.

THe venom John Kerry inspires in here is beyond belief. Dittoheads have too much influence on the airwaves, even on people who presume to hate them. It's a party that eats itself, and who do you think the beneficiaries of that tendency are?

The endorsement will help Obama. I blame the foolishness of the electorate for Kerry's loss, not Kerry himself. There's so much self hatred for having re-elected Shrub that it somehow devolves upon the man who got more votes than Ronald Reagan in 80 and came close to unseating a sitting President-an extremely difficult task. Let him alone.

George Stephanopoulos with ABC is working still as the Clinton's press secretary.
The George's report of an endorsement of John Kerry is: "Kerry hates Edwards". So why didn't he endorse Ms. Clinton? Is it too much to ask that you REPORT why Kerry said he was endorsing Obama? No your inside baseball guesses are much more important than the facts.
The facts are the words Kerry said.
Good bye ABC News you and Fox have replaced news with a poison cartoon projected through a lens of your undeclared bias

You people are stupid, Hillary has been in Washington for years and where is this country now. I see you dummies still haven't learned from the last election, most of you clowns probably voted for George Bush, and now you are giving advice about candidates. Keep your comments to yourself and study the candidates without media influence. I am a black man and I may vote for a white candidate, because I truly want change, not under handed racist rhetoric. And finally the only thing that is happening now is the older racist generation of whites and blacks are being over taken by the younger generation who are sick of all of this racist rhetoric in this country, they can accept a black president , a woman president, something different. I challenge anyone of you to a debate because it's obvious you are all closed minded.

Edwards doesn't stand a chance receiving the nod now. He might as well hang it up after S.C.

Edwards is loosing anyway! Let him step aside, and let Hillary, the strongest person running, take over.

Hillary, you have beaten smug Edwards (it was only a matter of time), now go for his twin – the smug Obama!
Edwards and Obama show their weakness by dishonest rhetoric. Obama - "We'll change America!" Know how? Edwards "is angry at" Lobbyists, but it's through them he's even able to run. Hillary has presented a detailed plan, then just yestarday, one for the economy! Come on, with a little effort it's easy who to choose.

Edwards = Electable

Hillary and Obama = not so much.

Don't kid yourself, what looks good in the primaries doesn't translate to the general election, how many times is the Party going to do this????
I wonder what Dukakis is doing now?

YY

I can hear Kerry now making a speach on Clinton's behalf, "If your smart, work hard, and get an education, you vote for Obama, otherwise, you get stuck voting for Hillary. No wait... Hey! Who's writing these lousy jokes?"
