How come everyone is saying that Sen Clinton should get out now in order not to divide the party but no one says that about Huckabee who has no chance of catching up to McCain, it seems like there is a double standard for women. The general election is not until November, a lot can happen between now and then. Women are getting tired of people teling them that a women who is smart and experience should bow down to make a man happy who's less qualified. In this country men get paid more than women for the same job, it is an insult to women to tell Sen Clinton to back down before June. If Sen Obama can't handle the heat than maybe he should get out the kitchen.

Make it quicker for her to pull out by voting for the right candidate.

Mr. Barack Obama is actually stronger in national security, economy, healthcare, and some of the other issues than either Hillary or McCain. America is at a stage in her life that she needs overhaul. The agent of that overhaul is Obama for such a time as this. His middle name does not matter. He did not give himself the name. He loves everyone, including Israel. What people do not know is that Obama attends one of the strictest Christian denominations that commit very seriously to serving Jesus Christ. Church of Christ is STRICT! A weak Christian cannot attend such a denomination. It is seriously Pentecostal.

NOW Catch this: America cannot be resurrected into vitality and prosperity until significant number of her citizens become energized by the inspiration, wakening, and motivating spirit that God has embedded in Obama for the benefit of America AT THIS TIME. When people are aroused and awake again, then they can work hard and participate together toward believing and making everything work toward strengthening the economy, family, political system, national security, and building healthy and trusting relationships within America and between America and the rest of the world. That's NATIONAL SECURITY! THAT'S ECONOMIC STRENGTH! THAT'S PEOPLE TRUSTING AND BELIEVING IN AMERICA AGAIN! I am a Professof of Business Administration and strategic management for a long time. Obama is what America needs at this time. World leaders will actually respect him much more than others due to his humble spirit but also quiet inner strength! In fact, terrorists will think much-more than twice before they try to attack any American interests with Obama as President. they already have it in their heads that this man cannot play with them. Obama is more humble than Reagan, but he has a tough demeanor similar to Reagan (if not better) that outside world will fear and respect! He will not make many mistakes and he relatively will not waste resources as many American Presidents have done. He will appropriate resources wisely and monitor their use and who uses them, especially in relations to other nations. Many nations trick the United States into sending the dollars; but the dollars have usually been used to accomplish very little. Most dollars are wasted in highly corrupt foreign leaders who claim to be assisting their nations. Such leaders will find it difficult to try to play Obama. There is so much to write, but I will stop here! Feel free to get the Obama campaign to contact me. I will advise them on how to win the general election. Well, one more thing: I strongly advise the Obam campaign to run this ad in Texas. I am writing it for them right now---

"..... Shouldn't the President be the one, the only one that is capable of uniting people and solve problems without letting any problem turn into crises? The inspiration, my ability to relate to people instead of using intimidation or fight-posture, and my ability to manage or analyze contingencies and draw necessary conclusions and judgments define domestic and national security for America. Such qualification leads to getting problems solved without heading into crises that will bruise and drain America and wound our economy and every other thing! That's REAL security! That's the REAL experience you need! That's Barack Obama! We don't have to use force when we don't have to use force! If experience leads to consistently bad judgments, then what is that experience? You be the judge! Make me your President and let us deliver Change We Can Believe In. YES WE CAN!"

I wrote this ad based on my analysis of Obama. It is almost a perfect ad for him! Obama: go ahead and run this ad! God bless you, and God bless our America.

Hillary Clinton

Simply Authentic!

Thats why she has my support.

Hillary Clinton

She is Authentic!

Thats why she has my support.

Unfortunately, Hillary actually has no intention of pulling out of the race, no matter what the outcome Tuesday. She will continue to play dirty "no ethics" politics against Obama, until the convention.

She is in this for herself, not the American people, not the Democratic Party. As long as people keep supplying her funds to continue, she will continue.

I hope the people send her a strong message on Tuesday by voting for Obama in large numbers.

I still think the most insightful piece that I’ve read about Obama’s candidacy came from an article in The Atlantic Monthly back in December when he was just another one of the guys who would lose to the Clintons. The piece isn’t a glowing review of Obama. The author, Andrew Sullivan refers to his early “lackluster debate performance” and says “he has flaws and tics: Often tired, sometimes crabby, intermittently solipsistic, he’s a surprisingly uneven campaigner.” But there’s a lot of stuff in there that make me proud to support Senator Obama. Here’s one paragraph that I found particularly insightful:

“At its best, the Obama candidacy is about ending a war—not so much the war in Iraq, which now has a mo¬mentum that will propel the occupation into the next decade—but the war within America that has prevailed since Vietnam and that shows dangerous signs of intensifying, a nonviolent civil war that has crippled America at the very time the world needs it most. It is a war about war—and about culture and about religion and about race. And in that war, Obama—and Obama alone—offers the possibility of a truce.”

We’ve seen a political war that made it impossible to initiate health care reform in the 90’s. I hope that we vote to bring our country together to heal the rifts that began then and grew deeper and more daunting under the Bush administration. I urge anyone who is considering voting for Senator Obama to read the article in full.

Voting for Hillary would allow her to pursue her desperate race and destroy the party.
Her time is over.
The only usefull is for Obama.

I don't think this is the problem, if you setup the primaries in such a way, that last state to decide on June then you have wait to see their decisions. If not, Dem. shouldn't punish the 2 states, which had earlier primaries. Because of all these pushy people that want to end the selection process earlier caused those states push their primaries earlier to make sure that their voice can be heard.

Anyone push for earlier end of this primaries selection is anti-democracy, deny the voting right the other states.

Every votes should count and every voice should be heard.

letjust turn the page and get on with it.
GO Hillary

Heres some irony for you. Jay Rockefeller of WV. Endorsed Obama saying he was right on the war thus better to handle foreign policy. This is coming from a man who at the time was co-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, read all the intelligence estimates and came to the conclusion that Sadam was a threat to U.S. security. He therefore voted in favor of the war. It appears Mr. Rockerfeller is going to have some problems if one carries out his edorsement to a logical conclusion. Mr. Obama says that since Hillary voted in favor of the war that shows she does not have the judgement necessary to be President thus it is not experience but judgement. Therefore since Mr. Rockerfeller voted for the war what does that say about him and why should he be chairman of the intelligence committee whith such poor judgement. If voting for the war automaticaly disqualifies one to hold the office of president then surely it should disqualify one from heading the intelligence committee. Yet it is this man who has such poor judgement that Mr. Obama seeks to endorse him. This all sounds a little hypocritical to me. I feel that the real reason is that the Obama campaign has contributed heavly to Mr. Rockerfeller and Senator Byrd's re-election campaign. Now the question is what does he get in return?

As of 2/14/08, Boston Political Intelligence:

Obama's political action committee has doled out more than $694,000 to superdelegates since 2005, the study found, and of the 81 who had announced their support for Obama, 34 had received donations totaling $228,000.

Clinton's political action committee has distributed about $195,000 to superdelegates, and only 13 of the 109 who had announced for her have received money, totaling about $95,000.

WSJ is running a piece on Obama misleading the voters about his involvement with lobbyists as well.

Per opensecrets, he is the top recipient of funds from law firms (which is how most lobbyists filter in their money to candidates).

Clinton is honest and forthcoming... Obama is not. I always thought he missed his calling as a televangelist!

Strongblood1, all that stuff you pulled out of the sky, sounds like pure baloney. I'm sticking with Clinton.

The Hilliary campaign is John McCain's best friend. He will happily do whatever it takes to keep her sights on Obama; And in the process turn off ANYONE who will come out for the party, and force them into McCain's camp. Already we are seeing this on this blog from some of her so-called "supporters." You can include John McCain in that camp.

Considering there was a report of Obama distancing himself from Brzezinski - he had taken in as a foreign policy advisor. I thought I would get some details. I just did some research on Brzezinski and he is in fact the inventor of the Taliban.

Brzezinski is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the agency that works on the future trends of the American diplomacy. In 1976, Brzezinski integrated the Carter administration in order to achieve his Arc of Crisis project co-designed with Bernard Lewis and Samuel Huntington.

Brzezinski had prepared the ground for the CIA agents to intervene on the ground. This preparation was the overthrow in 1977 of Zulfaqar Ali Bhutto in Pakistan, one year after the coming to power of the Carter Brzezinski team. Bhutto was replaced by Zia ul Haq, an Islamist who was totally at the service of the American project for the Islamization of the region.

Given those facts, the recent assassination of Benazir Bhutto by the Taliban/AQ (and not including any of the speculation of other activities he had in the Middle East for the Republicans), it is not surprising that Obama said oops and is distancing himself.

The blunders just keep happening dont they! LOL

Kardasia_Prime,

You say that hilary is smart and has more experience, why isn't she managing her campaign finances/spending wisely? If she was smart, should would know that the money that people contribute to her campaign doesn't just come from rich people. Even people who have fallen on bad times or lost jobs, particularily in Ohio, send her money because hilary and people like you have been selling the idea that her smart and her experience will deliver them from their predictament. We've learned first hand that the sell pitch (Experience/smart) is non-existant in Hilary on how she's runned her campaign as she recklessly spent significant amount on her staff, lodging, and other useless stuff like getting herself and her staff pampered and paying out spending Obama on paying her campaign payroll and very little on promoting her message and advertisements. Obama stays in cheap motels and pays his staff much less but concentrate most of his funds on ads so his message and ads. WHERE IS THE SMART and EXPERIENCE in HILARY? PLEASE GIRL, OBAMA graduated from yale. JUST BECAUSE he's a man and he's black doesn't mean he's not smart. NOW CLINTON is resorting to fear mongering ads and smear campaigns.

LOL rog - Clinton is from Yale, Obama is a Harvard grad

The Obamas made close to 1 million in income for the one year that he has revealed his income (he is not revealing it for the years he had questionable dealings with Rezko for some reason). He is also protected by the Secret Service. He does not stay in notell motels. LOL

If you really want to educate yourself, try going to the vote smart website and learn. It's free! P.S. dont drink the koolaid

I agree that he should be a preacher, not that he has any religion, but he is a good actor.

Despite her own recent statements, Hillary will absolutely not concede under any circumstances, even if she fails to win Texas and Ohio. She will stay in until the convention.

Why? Hillary has self-centered motives for glory and power. She doesnt care about harming the likely democratic nominee's chances in the general election. She doesnt care about smearing a good man's reputation with dirty and intentional distortions. And she doesnt care about risking and likely wasting the financial contributions of her supporters.

For Hillary, its all about Hillary. If she were elected president, it would remain being about HIllary first and foremost, and the American people second. This is not what America needs.

The Obamas make that much because both are well educated have good paying jobs and Barrak also wrote an autobiography like the Clitons and it continues to sell well.

The rezko dealings have been investigated and dealt with. The only reason the are in the air is because hilary and her campaign brought them up.

Obama is not dirty like the Clinton's are. He's more honest and genuine than Hilary and bill. Rezko is the one that is on trial and if Obama did anything wrong then we would have heard that he has been summoned by the court but no he hasn't been because he did nothing wrong. She lied to the American people that Bill never Cheated on her just so she can be first lady and now she's spreading lies and attacking trying to drag others to her own level. That's what she is experienced in. Look at how she squandered all her campaign money on useless things. Is that the smart and experience she has....ROLF

what's wrong with the news sources I read? No thanks, I think those are the sites that have a different definition of the word "Sex" or "Sexual Relations" than what we and our dictionaries define sex.

Obama did nothing, that is why there is nothing about him and Rezko. It's just another desperate Clinton tactic to smear a person who is more upright than her and her husband. ROLF.

Thought I would share some numbers here that relate to why the Clinton campaign continues and why the Reps want Obama nominated:

For states that have held primaries/caucuses for both parties so far:

Red States in 2004 with higher Dem turnouts account for 44 electors.
18 Clinton, 26 Obama

Blue States in 2004 with higher Dem turnouts account for 135 electors.
98 Clinton, 37 Obama

Blue Battleground States in 2004 with Higher Dem turnouts account for 74 electors.
36 Clinton, 38 Obama

Red Battleground States in 2004 with Higher Dem turnouts account for 82 electors.
42 Clinton, 40 Obama

Electoral totals so far:
194 Clinton, 141 Obama

Only 270 are needed to win in November so the states coming up with high electoral impact will matter in terms of electability.

Red state gains are small but Obama has won more. What we dont know is whether these are the states where Reps may be cross over voting to rig the primaries or not.

Blue states are holding and clearly the core is supporting Clinton. Battleground states appear to be a dead heat showing. Overall, Clinton is clearly more electable so far.

It is easy to see that Obama is easier to beat in Nov if he cant get the Dem party united to gain the support of the Dem core voters.

So far, he has failed to prove he is a uniter since currently there is a split party. (This actually matches his voting record of being the most liberal Senator and not reaching across party lines.)

What he succeeded in doing was expanding the electorate and wooing some Independents/Reps but the party remains 50/50 meaning he does not attract enough core voters to make a difference.

Obama does seem genuinely interested in serving America and seems to be be prepared to listen to anyone else and involve anyone else who is interested in the same thing.
Clinton still seems to expect to be given the job she thinks she deserves. "I'm tested. I'm ready. Let's make it happen." sounds like a demand on us to give her what she wants.
And Bill Clinton's line in Texas, "If you don't deliver for her then I don't think she can be [president]", is insultingly presumptuous.
Don't we all deserve someone who's prepared to serve rather than someone who believes they have a divine right to rule?

If Hillary loses either Texas or Ohio she needs to bow out gracefully for the betterment of the Democratic party. She would need to win both by a large margin to continue on. Hillary do the right thing, bow out on March 5th and let's concentrate on Obama & McMore-War. Obama 2008!

obama is causing trouble already for us in Canada I will not vote for that idiot He is so criminal and a very inexperienced politian who only cares for himself and his muslem gangster friend reisko

Hillary Clinton has the strength and the vision to stay on in this race as long as she wants. She has the future of the United States at heart and is not going into all this trouble for herself. She knows that America needs her Vision and her ability to revive the economic strength of the United States. She believes in fiscal responsibilty and we will be back on track as a nation with a surplus. Please support Hillary, the president who will lead us with a plan. Besides she will have the support and the advice of Bill Clinton who is not short of ideas himself.

Karadasia...lot of people are telling Huckabee to get out of it so i am not sure what you are talking about...and Huckabee's ongoing battle isn't a threat to the stability of their party like Hillary's campaign is. Huckabee also isn't attacking McCain like Hillary is attacking Obama.

Sad very sad...but I agree with you on one point there may be a bias because she is a woman... only I am afraid that bias has worked both against and for her... Drawing associations of sexist or racist issues when they are not ...only hurts the real sexist and racist issues.

When you throw that issue out there make sure it is at the right behavior or cultural effect.

The Convention is not scheduled until later this summer. What is everyone worried about? I would be more worried about all the Democrats not getting their voices heard-that is a recipe for splitting the Party wide open. Superdelegates should wait until the Convention to have their say, wasn't that the wisdom of the plan? Hillary led for the longest time, now with the help of the self-injected race card, the media bias, and packing his young fans into the caucuses, he is ahead. Let the voters be heard!

"go on a lot while longer"?
What? Is this the intelligence that
Hillary's supporters are always talking about? Duh!

I wonder if Obama would think of bowing out of the race if he loses OH and TX. These are hypotheticals just like the polling numbers. Let the voters have their say based on the issues instead of the media spinning tales to change the outcome.

Georgia...

I am pretty sure having seen Barack in many speaking situations over the past year (I live in NH and have gone to see all of them speak numerous times) would put the party before his campaign (he has doe that in several occasions when he has spoken to his own campaign websites telling people to fight the good fight instead of the dirty one) ... and if Hillary was in Obama's shoes... just put yourself there for a minute... with all of the press attention she has gotten (yet says the press is biased toward her)...

You think that you would argue that same point that all the votes should go through before a, may I say, "nasty" debate should go on...you really think that is worse than letting all this vitriol go back and forth...

It is for that kind of thinking that we need a change in political figures.

If I recall correctly, Bill Clinton did not secure his nomination until June.

Looks like Hillary will have to settle for August, unless the Rezko trial dictates something sooner.

The reality still remains that Hillary cannot get to the White House without Obama supporters and a sizable portion of them is just not going there. All that Canadian memo, Rezko, flag pin, Muslim middle name business simple sealed that deal.

Or, Obama could go ahead and quit. He doesn't have enough votes to win the nomination because half the country voted for Hillary. If you and the other Obama supporters are so serious about uniting the party, then urge him to quit and unite behind Hillary. Hillary doesn't have the votes you say? Neither does Obama. When half the country doesn't want your candidate, why should it be my candidate that quits the race?
