I think Hillary is the better candidate. Obama gives a good speech, but his resume is thin. Bill Clinton was right, he is kind of a fairy tale. I think 2016 would be a good year for him to run. I do not care about his religion or his race either. He would still be preferable to any Republican.

How can he be a racist? He had a black father and a white mother. He is a Christian (United Christian Church). Why can't you just be supportive of HIllary without bashing Obama.

Obama is NOT a Muslim! A man named Mushin Muhammed is one of the most devout Christians that I have ever seen. He plays WR for the Chicago Bears. Most people convert to Christianity.

Besides who cares if he were Muslim. Our soldiers are dying for the Muslim countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. We are dying for them! Trying to bring Sunni and Shiiats together, trying to bring democracy to the Muslim world! WE LOVE MUSLIMS. We love Muslims so much we are willing to die for them. So stop making an issue out of this because it is not an issue at all.

From former President Clinton w/ and the voters of New Hampshire. How is it that every poll had Barck Obama up 10points and then lose. Then to read these comments about a man who is honest and ethical is very troubling. One would think that former President Clinton would want to keep the campaign as positive as possible even though his wife is going to lose. After all is a huge part of the division of this country. Lets not forget he was impeached for lying to the country about his affairs while in office.

OBAMA judgment? Well see about that when the trial of his friend and campaign contributor in Chicago starts in Feb 25. The Rezko trail is schedule to start on Feb 25 this year and the Chicago machine which is the one that launched Obama presidential run knew it and have tried at all cost to stop this to become a national news. hey are wrong this will be out sooner or later and the "wave of change" will be exposed. Obama has been good in cutting deals in Illinois even tho he never was the real leader down in Springfield he was the "boy" used b the Illinois political machine to cut their deals -he was the fresh face- used by them. Is the same strategy they are using nationally, some are buying it. Rezko trial will be a big deal in Chicago and Illinois since the Governor ties with Rezko are very well known!

Here in Illinois the Governor was also in dealings with Rezko, the whole political machine that is supporting Obama in Chicago and Illinois is a corrupt one full of lobbyist, deal makers and predator corporations, those are the ones that want to bring change in Washington D.C. Rezko trial is schedule to start on Feb. 25,2008. I am sure will be fun to watch!

ok, the Rezko thing came out a year ago, it didn't go anywhere because there was no where to go, no laws broken, no favors given. No mention of Obama in the investigation, no involment of Obama in the trial. The guy is what we have not had in American Politics in the last 100 years, a candidate who doesn't owe someone for where they are. he is not running as the black candidate, he is running as a man who believes that the country should be run in favor of the people and not in favor of just the rich people.

THE GREAT FANS OF OBAMA... THE PRESS IS NOW TAKING SOME LOOK INTO MR. OBAMA.. THE ONITED GOD.

The Rezko Connection: Obama's Achilles Heel?
Obama's Connection With an Accused Political Fixer Raises Questions

Your so called "blind trust" conveniently invested in two stocks in companies owned by major donors of your campaign. The one company was creating a new drug to combat avian flu. In your first two weeks you introduced major spending bills to combat avian flu.

The church you claim to attend is pro-African and appears to be anti-Jewish. Your own minister visited Libya with Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. Wright is quoted saying that "when [Obama's] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli … with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell." Then in December 2007, Obama’s church honored the Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan with a “Lifetime Achievement Award”.

Your career in the Illinois legislature was marked by too many "present" votes and not enough FOR or AGAINST. Political opportunist!!

In your biography, you stated you started using cocaine and marijuana in Hawaii because you were trying to come to terms with your identity. You used many created names for those old friends and they have now come forward to provide their real names and speak against your drug use.

Obama is not change but politics as usual. He is cotton candy; all Bluff and no substance. He is what Republicans would love to face !!!! WHY is the fox promiting him soooo much!!! why do they fear Hillary soooo much???

Joe7,
Read his wikipedia page properly....Even they are more accurate than abcnews....this guy wrote 'Dreams of my father' in '95-'96....had a 2 million book deal and bought his house.....So have you decided on which minimum wage job you'll take up when bill-hill team is in(she was a member of Walmart board and still carries some weight there)...because see rather than the manipulative sleazy establishment candidate that she is , I 'd vote for 'Mr. Straight=talk' Johnny Mac-boy...Republican WH here it comes because of the absurd ways of THE NH women

dems are digging their own graves going for her and good for them!!
Johnny Boy..you were always my hero...even though I have voted for a dem all my life...My vote goes for you rather than the dynastic sleazeball Hill-Bill team....No way in hell would I vote for a candidate who stays in a dishonest marriage for very little but power...She brings more baggage than Mackie...she brings feminine empowerment a bad name...
To hell with the clintons and bushes and their Karl Rove style smear-campaigning...
Mackie...you have my vote by doing nothing to woo me...I give credit to you for that

Okay, Okay...relax a little. Hillary wanted to know "Where's the Beef". She loves to create doubt. Like he is a good speaker and fairy tale spinner. Guess What? When you are a intelligent and diligent to restore your country to its former glory, it takes a lot of planning. Want to know what his plan is? It has been up on his website from the very beginning people if you care too do some research. I mean it is kind of important to do that research when picking the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES for pete's sake.

Thanks Mary for posting that link to Obama's plan. I wish they'd put that link on the homepage. I've been looking for a similar plan from Hillary and can't find one. Perhaps I'll just have to take her word that she is working for change too. But did she mean changing George Bush's corporate buddies for hers? I think that's what she meant. Without any plan how can I help but not think that? Oh well, I think Hillary's Plan for America will be out by next week, sooner if they can copy Obama's fast enough and Mark Penn has the time to poll it.

The Hillary supporters seem to forget one thing - SHE CAN'T WIN. She doesn't have support from Independents. John Kerry won 49% of Independent vote and LOST.

Obama is the only hope for a Democrat. Even worse, Hillary's nomination would jeopardize the House and Senate to turn Republican again.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for the Republicans - They even admitted it in NH.

Well you can take this to the bank, I am one democrat who will not vote for her in the general election.

Astonishing how people can say that "Hillary is a better candidate" because "Obama's resume is thin." What, exactly, has Hillary Clinton ever accomplished? Saying Hillary is experienced is a fairy tale. She's been running around like lifestyles of the rich and famous for the past 25 years.

The people of his own state, Illinois, don’t even like him; they think he’s corrupt also. Get out of New York and go make up with the people of your own state first!!
(Obama says he's "new" and "without baggage," but I had to say it.)

Dumb to refer to Hillary as the status quo. She won New Hampshire because she proved she was a candidate for change, but in a real sense.

The cash was only in thousands Obama, you don't need to start turning smug on us again!

…. And how can you give healthcare to the children and not the adults? The children are dependent on their parents aren’t they? What flapdoodle! It’s elementary, my friend.

Who said HILLARY had good judgment? Come on now folks, how soon we forget? She voted to go to war with Iraq without there being any proof of WMD's, without taking into consideration that U.N. inspection teams had already identified and destroyed nearly all such weapons, or without any proof that Iraq represented an imminent or immediate threat to the US. More importantly, that there was never any credible evidence connecting Iraq to Al Qaeda and 9/11. How about her vote in favor of the Kyl-Lieberman amendment to press the army toward war with Iran? Only to find out the NIE found with "high confidence" that the Islamic republic stopped an effort to develop nuclear weapons in the fall of 2003? Sounds to me like Ms. Hillary has a case of rushing to judgement....poor judgement at that! Is this really what we really want or need right now? I'm afraid not. As far as the Rezko Connection goes, no laws were broken here, everything was legal and Obama is not mentioned in the case. This country is too divided and needs someone like Obama to bring us back together. He's already doing that by inspiring many to become active and vote to take back our country. I don't think Hillary will be able to be effective in making change with all tje baggage the Clintons carry. The Clintons can manipulate the media all they want but they can't manipulate our minds. That is why my vote is for Obama.

Obama will win the presidential election with smarts and good judgement. He will not resort to the slimy, negative and divisivness that the Clintons are noted for doing. Bill Clinton needs to keep his mouth close and focus as a former president. His involvement only shows how much he will be running the white house should Hillary have the opportunity to become president. Bill wants another opportunity to repair his legacy at the taxpayers expense!

Futhermore, my advise to Hillary: if you can't take the heat or defeat, then drop out of the race! We don't need your publicly emotional breakdown as a presidential candidate. What are you telling our world enemies? I hope the next states will vote for good judgement, the pressing issues facing America, and reject slimy, negative campaigns!

Oh yea, onforward I hope Obama's camp watch out for the absentee ballots count. We have been down this road before and this elections means too much to America to be faced with murky counting of votes/ballots!

No doubt Obama is the best candidate now and for the future.

Senator Barack Obama has the judgment, the character, the talent, the brilliance, the substance, the type of experience we need, the strength, the foresight, the love for people, the will to serve and to lead.

i just don't think he has the experience and know how to run Our Country just like bush...........he too did drugs...................

Obama good judgment!! For 15 years he was dealing with his friend Rezko.
As a resident of Illinois I have long been disgusted with the "under the table" corruption that runs RAMPANT here. What disgusts me even more is that when blatant evidence is exposed, the accused individual always finds a way to "make it go away". Chicago Mayor Daley is the chief source of most of the corruption in the state ("Operation Silver Shovel", etc.), but somehow he's always able to walk away with his hands clean. Oh, by the way, he's a big Obama supporter. Also, Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan (and current Illinois Democratic Party Chairman) was under investigation by the Feds. No problem. He and the Illinois Democratic Machine got Madigan's daughter elected Attorney General of Illinois. Gee, what ever happened to that investigation...........As far as the Rezko case, Obama is not the only one having a connection to Rezko. Rezko was a fundraiser and close friend of the current governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich - a governor who is also being investigated by the Feds for his own corrupt practices. (Ironically, Blagojevich came to power by vowing to clean up the corruption created by Republican Governor George Ryan.)Those of you who still aren't convinced that Barack Obama is yet another cog in the Illinois corruption machine should look up the Todd Stroger Cook County Board election scandal. Barack Obama unabashedly threw his full support to Todd Stroger despite the dubious way Stroger even got to become a cadidate. Why would Obama even endorse such shennanigans? I don't have enough time to go into this one, but trust me, it's a beauty. Look it up!Whether Obama himself is corrupt is yet to be determined, but his associations do cause alarm. Are these the same associations that would follow him to the White House? Obama is not "squeeky clean". We in Illinois know better.I will close by saying that I am not a Republican. I am not a Democrat. I have been forced into cynical independency from Illinois polititians that continue to disappoint

Bill Clinton..,I am really going nut right now,this flirtitious political; demagogue expresident has already been impeached once for lying about his affairs,man that is huge someone outthere please please tell me what will stop him from doing so again ,Obama!.thats right,its time to move on buddy.The presidency of the us is not a retirement troophy for any male or even shemale my dear.

u had your chance and u did what u did give Obama a chance,give america a chance.
Obama Now

The Clintons sleep with the sharks and then come ontop water to lie and cry??.We know all those tricks Bill n Hillary,Bill has been a long time cryer when things get tough.. to arouse peoples simpathy .Now hillary has is following suit.u can fool the people some of the time but not all the time.How can u guys try to pray on peoples emotions like that when we all know the truth.

The day has come its the people time now .No more political gimmicks.

We need Obama

I find it amazing that Obama has so much support, but what I don't understand is why? What has he accomplished in the senate? what does "change" truly mean? Let's be logical people. We all know that the campaign of Obama's is all hype. America is not going to vote him in the White House!

Get over it, it is simple:

Obama has support because he includes YOU in the bill.

It is about YOU, not about him.

The Clinton want to convince us how great THEY are

Obama is trying to open your eyes to see how MUCH can be done if YOU participate

Life is that simple!!

To me the Beef is HOPE

Obama is a LEADER

Hillary is a FOLLOWER

For me I will always go for Obama.Hilary's candidacy is just personal. Thats why she withstood all Bill's lies and stayed in their marriage.She always had this dreams and always wanted to ride on Bill's popularity. First as a Senator and now for the Presidency. She has nothing to offer Americans.

The Clinton ERA is over!

It's time for a change!

There are no more sympathy Votes out there Hillary!

The Game is over!

I keep hearing Hillary talk about her 35 years of experiences. Yet, I don't recall her being an elected official until her husband left the White House. Many politicians wives have helped their husbands run for public office and stood by their side and I'm sure that they too have advised their husbands on decisions affecting public policy. But, you don't hear them taking all the credit. If this is the case, then Barbara Bush is the most experienced woman in America and she should run for the White House. The Clintons didn't even have the guts to move back to Arkansas, so you can tell that everything has been a calculated plan and not just happenstance. I don't appreciate being manipulated or lied to about her experience - I'm sure Bill Clinton is not willing to say that all his policies were Hillary's idea.

If I were a female the kind of things qouted below would definatley make me vote for Hillary. Obama's camp is bashes women!

Obama talked about how much time he has spent traveling and someone in the crowd yelled, "Don't cry!" prompting laughs from the audience. It was a swipe at Clinton's emotional moment in New Hampshire.

I heard Mrs. Clinton had a very good resumee. I have no doubt. She will always fine a good job out there.

The President of the U.S.A. needs Vision, Inspiration, Wisdom, Knowledge, Experience, Character, Judgement, Ethics.

Barack Obama ranks very Hight on all that.

Plus: He has a lovely family, he knows the importance of having a wife next to him, Michelle would be a most inspiring First Lady.

Mr. Obama will bring to the With House and the Governement the people with the most impressive resumees needed for all the different tasks and responsibilities.

I have not a single doubt now who is going to have my vote: Barack Obama

People say that Obama is all talk and no action, he says he will bring about change, but they say it's all talk. For me the very fact that he doesn't take money from lobbyists and PAC's is a huge example of a change. That's the kind of change I want from a candidate to demonstrate what they would do in Washington.

Voting for Hil will ensure the Republicans take the Senate back as well as the keep the Presidency. The Clintons have to much baggage and their smear campaigns against Obama will eventually backfire and cost her. The Clintons and Bushes are the same thing not a bit of difference they just want power to put all their cronies in place and reap the rewards. Obama is a change. McClain is a change Clinton is status quo and in fact worse anyone that would stay in a marriage to get elected is not only lying to the American people but lying to herself.
