He should be going out to Cali with Kennedy at his side!!

Great speech and great point about the division.

SOS - Style over substance support a woman with real issues. Hitlary!!!!

Barack is a living example for minorities to follow. He can truly heal and understand the needs of all minorities because he experienced in his own life the difficulties minorities encounter. He can unite us all.

Just keep pumping out distractions. Has anyone noticed that NEVER EVER EVER NEVER has a single critic of ANYthing Obama has said, EVER been right? Not one newspaper. Obama is always there, no no you are not telling it straight. Not one news story that asks a pointed question. Nope, that is distorted. Like the above comment on Ted. NOPE, that was taken out of context, you see. Not a pundit, not a fellow senator, not a congressman, not the President, or Vice, not a foreign radio show, not talk show host. None of them are ever right. He is constantly having to correct the entire world when he is questioned or caught in something. Even now, his own words, and you people STILL say, they are after him because he is winning, he is black, or he is the underdog. I want to know where in the hell are all these people in Illinois whose lives have been transformed into bliss by this guy. Where are the millions whose lives have done a 180 degree turn? Where are the directions to this shining city on the hill? Where are the long lines and traffic jams of people desperate to get into the Obama created Nirvana? They don't exist. He hasn't done #### in his state and hasn't transformed anything but his own status and wealth. No one is coming forward from the slums of Chicago to tell how they made it to Lakeview because of Obama. So until the angels open the gates of Illinois heaven, I'm not buying this truck load of bs. And like Penn and Teller say - THAT'S BS. And they are right.

Be glad Florida, right now, is not in the delegate count - Clinton is destroying Obama by as much as he destroyed her. You see this looms large for next Tuesday, because Florida is a very national audience. Florida is a cosmopolitan makeup of diverse proportions. It shows that when you pander and twist words into race baiting, you are going to pay. Just wait til you see the California primary. It is Clinton 53% Obama 26% Edward 17% with a HUGE HUGE turnout, despite the news saying it is a beauty contest. We here in Florida say to the republicans who voted against Hillary, and the Independents that tried to derail her, and South Carolina where is was race first and anything else last - when you hit a regular old, typical state, with no out of proportion voters, with no cross-over votes allowed, you get a clearer picture. Florida is a typical Super Tuesday type state. And it is going to be a BIG and very different story then these first few, quaint states with their nice put particular ways. S. Carolina has always been an ugly battle state when it comes to politics. Just ask McCain and see what the voters did to him during the Bush campaigns. But when you get to a regular state, its BAM. Done and Dusted. Or should I say- Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Y'all better hope that these delegates don't manage to get seated in Denver.

PS - so far - Clinton even has 15,000 more votes than Romney! And the Dems weren't even supposed to show up, remember? She is leading with only 3% counted, but the number of votes are huge, almost 100,000 Democratic votes with just 3% counted. Extrapolate that out and see what that means for turnout. This race thing is going to backfire. That is why Oprah is no where to be found. Not a peep. Not a commercial. Not a little joke on the side. She RAN for cover because she got mail that indicated - don't do a Bill Clinton and be so obviously one sided, not on the trail and not on the show. So she has hidden. HELL, I wish she had run for President. Now there is an awesome brain for you. She knows money, she knows emotions, she has a heart and has a mind. AND she will admit mistakes and she takes responsibility for her actions most of the time. Obama made an ugly crack on Ted Kennedy not too long ago and he is now saying OH that was taken out of context. No it wasn't. It was a complete quote. He said Kennedy was 'old in the spine, and needed . . .' well, that is not important. All his supporters here will excuse YET AGAIN another accurate portrayal of a hypocritical thing B.O. has said or done.

Don't you make any mistake about it, the Ice Princess will be defeated and we here in the DEM party will be more than gleeful to hand her - her defeat. I agree, she will win the nomination. But, well, you see many of us don't want her. We will not let her, Bill or you all ram her down our throats. No sir/ma'am. Your fellow Dems will help in defeating her.

Surely, you didn't think we would surrender to defeat, forget all the lies the Clintons have said about her opponents and just come together and vote for someone we don't want do you?

Ha! Now who are the dreamers.

See you at the polls,
Chris

Chris: Thank you! I agree with you 100%. I am so sick of Billy and his red face, he looks like he is a madman. I have NO respect for either one of them.This is one middle-aged white woman that will NOT be voting for the CLintons. Two for the price of one? Yuk? That's no bargain! Obama '08

I got news for you the Ice Princess will win the nomination regardless of what you think. Hillary will win California, Arizona, Missouri and Tennessee plus probably Texas. Obama will win those tiny southern states. That's good enough for him. There is also going to be a fight to put the delegates back in Florida and Michigan which she won. Of course Obama goody goody two shoes will be as hot as a firecracker if that happens. And that's because he lost. He gets like a child standing in the corner.

Hilliary will not carry a single state in the south if she gets the nomination. The Florida election for the dems do not count so she can get all the votes. It will not matter b/c FL will go red-republican in Nov. Whitewater, travel gate, her lies about the Children Defense Fund will be exposed by the republicans. She will not be any competition b/c most southern white women and men cannot stand her and her ex-president husband. You cannot believe a thing that comes out of her and her cheating husband's mouth.

Also, do u really think the US will ever vote a person of color especially a black person president. Read your comments and our true white racism is exposed. Thanks America - we will always try to protect, the red, especially the white, and the blue. That is where both parties are exactly the same!! Let's keep protecting our white privilege. Got to love it.

Clinton wins Florida? What the hel$ is there to win? she has won Nothing! Obama will win and he will win without games!

Ha ha clinton and her games! She WILL LOSE in the end!

Wow!!! can't understand why some people thinking florida matters now that's insane there's group of people still living in stone age shows how old their reasons are. Obama has made it clear already it's not about rich or poor, black or white, male or female it's about future and past lets all support visionary that'll unite us together instead running after loosers like "Clintons"

Over 20 newspapers have endorsed Obama in CA. Hillary only got one. The most influential paper in SF Bay Area, SF Chronicle endorsed Obama with the following:

"There is no doubt about the Democrat with the vision and skills to bring that period of reprieve and renewal. It is Sen. Barack Obama.

All three have vowed to phase out the U.S. military presence in Iraq. Obama, however, stands alone in his opposition to the invasion at the outset. Clinton and Edwards each voted to give President Bush the authorization to use military force against Saddam Hussein. Edwards acknowledges his mistake, Clinton parses the meaning of the resolution. It was Obama's instincts that proved sound.

Clinton, who arrived in the U.S. Senate four years before Obama, has tried to make experience the issue. As senator, she has proved skillful at representing diverse New York interests and working with Republicans. But if she wants to highlight her White House experience as a defining difference, then it's only fair to point out that two of the projects she was most deeply involved with produced a debacle (health care) and scandals (fund raising). Especially in recent days, her campaign has shown the sharp elbows that evoke the ugly underside of the Clinton years, and the (Karl Rove inspired) Bush years that succeeded them: the reflex to scorch the Earth, to do what is necessary to vanquish political adversaries ... all is justified if you are left standing at the end.

America deserves better than these cycles of vengeance and retribution. Its possibilities are too great, its challenges too daunting, for partisan pettiness.

In a Jan. 17 meeting with our editorial board, Obama demonstrated an impressive command of a wide variety of issues. He listened intently to the questions. He responded with substance. He did not control a format without a stopwatch on answers or constraints on follow-up questions, yet he flourished in it.

He radiated the sense of possibility that has attracted the votes of independents and tapped into the idealism of young people during this campaign. He exuded the aura of a 46-year-old leader who could once again persuade the best and the brightest to forestall or pause their grand professional goals to serve in his administration.

Of all the candidates who talk about change, Barack Obama has made the case most forcefully and most convincingly. He gets our endorsement for the Democratic nomination.

mariannpepiboner, did you get a new name? Or is '2009 where are you' your other half? Are you ever going to post anything factual?

Many voters will be "hoodwinked" by the first-term senator from Illinois, whose ambition forced him to think about seeking the presidency after only 1 darn year in the U.S. Senate.

He's fond of quoting John F. Kennedy, but JFK spent 14 years in Congress before becoming president.

'Nuf said.

Clinton won in Florida huh? What exactly did she win? NOTHING! No delegates were awarded! This woman needed momentum going into super Tuesday and this was her only choice. If she had another choice she would have done it! This makes her look DESPERATE! All 3 candidate's understood that no delegates would be handed out for Michigan and Florida. Her rally for "victory" the minute the poll's closed in Florida made her look pathetic. Look at me I won NOTHING! Please!

The issue around the watercooler is now Edwards. My guess is Obama although Clintons will beg him not to...Edwards does not have to endore anyone. He has 26 delegates so at the end of the day , it is not a huge amount. Actually the endorsement would mean more than the delegates at this point.
