Let's say we change history and Hillary has.

1. 10 State Winning Streak
2. Most Delegates and Popular vote

What are the headlines then? Come on people...

AMERICA NEEDS CHANGE!! AMERICA NEEDS OBAMA!!

Hillary, you can come with good ideas and better solutions but if you are not able to inspire people, all these will end in vain. Thats meaning of making rallies and speeches.

At the same time, no one likes to return to the past, its about moving forward with changes, moving the country towards the future. This is the message Obama is selling and many are buying it.

Now we are going to see Hillary’s scorched earth policy, slash and burn. If she can’t win then her policy is to destroy everything and everyone including the Democratic Party. She is willing to loose her legacy and her dignity all in the name of power. I feel really bad for her if she does this she will regret it later in life.

"We need to make a choice between speeches and solutions."

With all due respect, I think the American people have already chosen.

Barack Obama has the delegates. He has the votes. He has the states. He has the momentum. He has the message. He has the energy and the enthusiasm. Hillary is not only losing these states to Obama; she's getting clobbered.

Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island are important upcoming contests, and Obama should campaign hard to win them.

But Bill and Hillary Clinton need to start thinking about how they want to go down. Does Bill want to salvage what's left of his standing and his legacy? Does Hillary want to preserve a long, fruitful career in the Senate--perhaps as Senate majority leader?

Imagine: Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House, Hillary as Senate majority leader, and Obama as president. Would that rock or what?

I think we, as Democrats, need to rally now behind the stronger horse in this race--Obama--and set our sights on John McCain.

Solutions over speeches. Correction solutions over STOLEN speeches. Voters need to get a grip and get on the solutions express. Inspiration and hope is nothing without plans and policies to back it up. Obama supporters who say, go to his website are worse. He should know his policies. Whatch the debate Thursday night. Solutions will make empty promises and inspiration look like the joke it is.

Hillary '08'

"It's time we move from good words to good works, from sound bites to sound solutions … We need to make a choice between speeches and solutions," "The best words in the world aren't enough unless you match them with action." If we didn’t have the male misogynist media and their posse to interpret this for us could we think about those statements and answer the questions for ourselves? Maybe it’s just me but I’m still listening for some good sound solutions coming from Camp Change. That’s the sound of silence.

Hillary’s speeches are made of solutions and Obama’s speeches are nothings but words. If I recall speeches can be heard which present solutions, solutions are written but very seldom read or made into speeches. So I am not really sure of the point Hellary is trying to make. Because her speeches are no more than words as is Obama’s and her solutions are very costly. While everyone seems to think Obama is the most likely candidate Hillary will soon but that idea to rest with the super delegates, who will surely vote Hillary in as the democratic candidate.

It's still too close to call and remember, we are talking Experience v Rhetoric. Obama talks of the CHANGE needed, but he has never said what they are! Hillary talks of changes too, in the form of SOLUTIONS and she backs this by telling you how!SO COME ON OHIO AND TEXAS!!! John McCain said of Obama;"Do not be fooled by an eloquent but empty call for change." Keep it up John, that's just what Hillraisers need to hear!

The best solutions in the world won't matter if you can't get Congress to actually pass your ideas and as George Bush has learned it's hard to do that when you don't have public support behind the President. The speeches that Obama gives rally the country behind his ideas which will make it difficult for Republicans to fight his ideas out of pocket.

Inspiration matters!!!

3 months before Iowa, Hillary had the organization, the money, and the poll numbers tht made her the "inevitable" nominee. Now, she is trailing in Delegates, states won, poular vote, and fundraising.

If she blew that type of headstart, what makes anyone think that she is better able to face "the republican attack machine"?

I agree with most of her policy positions, as I do with Obama, but her campaign has been an absolute disaster, and I have not seen any indication that they know how to turn it around. The electorate has lost faith in her as a winning candidate in November, and she can't buy that back now. I just hope she has the sense to exit gracefully when all reasonable options are exhausted.

RobertMD - How dare you introduce facts into a perfectly ridiculous discussion. LOL. Sen. Clinton has a distinguished 35-year career making change happen (she must because everyone says she does). Obama took his fancy law degree from Harvard (and President of their Law Review) and launched himself into a lucrative career in the private sector. No wait, he went onto the streets of Chicago as a community organizer, then the IL legislature and then elected to U.S. Senate. But those 20 years don't matter for anything (because people say they don't). So how can you possibly stand there and say that all that legislative work makes Obama in any way qualified to be the President of the United States?!

mccain and clinton - both supported the war which my newphew has served three tours in Iraq. Vote - Mccain so he can institute the draft so all young americans can serve his 100 year war! let's all be proud that we are americans and serve our arm forces!!

When Democrat wins, most of things also change. Eventually US will pull out of Iraq no matter who will win. Obama inflate the word “change”. It makes the impression that there will be a completely new face to Washington. But he hasn’t talked about what he will change Washington.

He also said that he can unite people but so far he could not unite Hilllary’s supporters to get behind him. The red states still are red states. How will he do it? Again, he hasn’t talked about it for the whole year in his campaign.

It is obvious that he did not have much of an idea of how to achieve them. Hope that God will open people eyes. Don’t let the evil force to conquer our lives, to blind our thoughts. His rhetoric will not solve our problems. Things will be worse for another 4 years of talking, instead of doing.

I love these headlines: "Clinton camp says ..." Is this news???? Why doesnt ABC use its BRAIN isntead of typing up attacks?

I think the media has been given a pass for its unprecedented frivolousness, as well as its rote typing up of campaign talking points every day in lieu of actual reporting.

I'm sure tomorrow's headline will be "Clinton camp says Obama spilled his coffee". Next day "Clinton slams Obama on overdue library book" .... This is getting old.

RobertMD900: you said “In fact, in just his first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427”. The total is 579 bills. So he authored or co-sponsored at least 1.5 bills a day and assuming that he worked 365 days none stop. Tell me how on earth a person can do this except he just closes his eyes and sign the bills blindly or sitting in his office 24 hours a day to go through the bills without having time to do anything else. I think Obama cheated you to vote for him.

Solutions: Continued war=Billions of dollars. National Canadian style health care; Long waiting lines, delayed service and a marginally worse overall quality of care=Billions of dollars. Empty promises to create jobs without delivering any new jobs just like she did while running for Senate in upstate New York... Priceless. Hillary will promise everything, deliver NOTHING, and what she will do is guaranteed to bankrupt what's left of the country. And if you don't like it, to quote Bill "How DARE you!!!" Humm, she gets more and more like W. every day. Forgive me if I don't care for replacing one dictator with another. Neither Hilliary (Bush-light) or McCain (Bush on steroids!!!) Will get my vote this November.

ironroof - Don't make yourself look bad. Do some research on how government works. The Library of Congress shows that in 2007 Obama sponsored 113 items of legislation. I know that sounds like a lot, but it's the certified truth. It may interest you to know that Clinton sponsored 150 items of legislation last year (that's about 1 every other day including weekends). That does not count co-sponsoring anything. You owe RobertMD an apology.

RobertMD900, thank you for the information on Hillary's exemplary legislative efforts. She is the candidate for change, if the change you seek is tiny, inconsequential change. Obama has real experience making and getting passed important legislation.

OK so Hillary gives solutions? Give me one solution that she has achieved last year without jumping on someone elses bandwagon??? And then proclaiming that it was her idea??

Many people don't get it. Obama is saving his record for the General election. He's taking heat now for not proclaiming his accomplishments, but there is a concern that some of his legislation may be viewed negatively by the Dem establishment which he needs to get the nomination. Once that is secure he will need to blunt McCain's use of McCain-Feingold etc. as an example of cross-aisle legislation. So far, the strategy doesn't seem to be hurting him (17-50% wins in last 10). He's just keeping his powder dry.

HILLARY CLINTON SAYS SHE IS FOR SOLUTIONS.
FOR SURE, THE BEST SOLUTION IS COLD-SHOULDERING OLD POLITICAL TACTICS.

This aught to be easy for Clinton. After all, she has a lot of plans; she should just use one of those plans to come up with a winning strategy for her failed campaign. I mean, the "empty suit" and "empty words" seem to be kicking butt. Or maybe she should steal someone else's campaign. Her negative strategy is not working.

Can't she find a solution for her failed campaign? It aought to be easy, all she has to do is grab one of the solutions she has and apply it to her campaign. If she's able to do that, I'll vote for her. In the meantime, GO OBAMA!

Kevin: It is my point. It means that those are not real works. It doesn’t count much. The real work is what you have to spend a lot of your own times to on work on it. I don’t care of how may bills that they authored or co-authored. What I care is that Hillary or Obama coming up with their own plan such as healthcare plan, plan of how to pull out of Iraq, plan of how to create jobs in US, etc…

Hillary did not play negative campaign. Hillary brings up the facts about Obama and I encourage Obama to do the same. I want to see each other weaknesses. Otherwise, there is no campaign. The candidate can say whatever he/she wants to say and no one allowing questioning them or bringing up the facts. The debates will show how fast the candidate reacts to the questions, how smart their answers are. His/Her real character may show, etc... Speeches won’t prove a thing, just bunch of people, supporters chanting, screaming following whatever the speaker say. Then going home, dreaming and hoping about the sketchy wonderful future. To make that future to happen, we must solve the present issues, plan for that future. Obama promised of uniting people, changing Washington, but he hasn’t showed people how he would do that. Maybe he did not have much idea of them. Hillary has a much clearer plan and strategy and she showed it over the debates.

If the last 8 years of SOLUTIONS is any indication of progress, we need 8 years of SPEECHES, and hope nothing gets done...

I love the way Obama keeps taking credit for being against the war. Hillary didn’t wage war on Iraq, Bush did. Hillary authorized the President to take the necessary action to protect America based on the intelligence that was provided. Remember how they trotted out Colin Powell, someone we trusted to tell us the truth? Hillary was a Senator from New York; you remember that place that was attacked on 9/11? Obama has even admitted that he doesn’t know what he would have done had he been in the position of actually voting. I am guessing he would have voted “present”. Yes, he gave a speech against the war, but did he take any action? Did he stage protests or call on people to rise up against this war? If he felt that strongly, why not? It’s easy to give speeches, but harder to take action. Words are only words if there is no action to back them up.

A deeply divided Democratic party. Can we stop bickering? Neither Obama, who excited me in the beginning, or Hillary, who is so LACK of experience and integrity, impress me. I am sure there is better candidate than these two. I am very sorry to say. Those better politicians should have had a chance. We didn't look at them. We dismissed them. Now these two are further dividing us, especially Hillary and her Bill.

Robert, she did so much more than just her JOB as a Senator. Since you are into looking things up. Find out about her young adulthood working with abused children. Find out about her being one of the attorneys in Water Gate. There is so much more to her than just her First Lady in Governorship and Presidential times,as well as Senator experiences.

Great speech! Right to the point!
Jen, explain exactly how it is that Hillary is dividing us. Because Hillary supporters were the only ones continuously attacked on the news. We were lunch bucket democrats, uneducated, women who felt sorry when she cried. I mean the list goes on. While BO supporters were said to be highly educated, young, wealthy, optomistic etc. The media did this. Meanwhile they were the ones also stating BO's negative attacks as "Questioning Clinton" etc. They attack her and her supporters, build him up, make his attacks sound legit and hers are "negative". They are also the ones who played one comment; Fairytale, over and over. I am half black. I saw Clinton's speech and what the media translated that into was no where near what I thought. I thought Cinderella, the media turned it into a race issue. The Clintons don't have the media power to divide, they are campaigning against a media for BO. I wonder why? Especially since media were the ones who knocked Al Gore down and pushed Bush just as they are doing with BO. That is the scary part.

This primary will to analyzed for years to come. How could a "chosen one" screw up so badly and totally blow an election.
1. The people they thought were behind them, were not;
2. The candidate was so arrogant that there was no Plan B;
3. Desperate people will follow anyone away from a trainwreck.
