Obama and “Complete Transparency”?
Ask Obama to release his passport record regarding what he has done for his chairmanship Subcommittee on European Affairs besides not holding any NATO hearings.

Ask Obama how many times has he gone to Iraq or Afghanistan to visit the troops since he talks of lack of ammunitions for our troops and talks of caring for our troops. Hillary Clinton has made multiple trips to Afghanistan and Iraq to visit the troops.

Ask Obama to release his earmarks for YEARS 2005 and 2006 and NOT just 2007. He has refused to release his earmarks for 2005 and 2006 and just releasing his earmark since he started campaigning.

Check out today's NY Time article about Rezko's dealings with Obama. The article is titled: "As Developer Heads to Trial, Questions Linger Over a Deal With Obama"

There is A WHOLE LOT we don't know about him.

I think everything that needs to be said for Clinton and Obama has been said. Little will changes in the next two days. Now it all comes down to which side will get their supporters to the voting booth in the numbers each needs. Obama can afford to lose both but Clinton cannot lose both Texas and Ohio. I hope Clinton wins. If she does it is good for the democratic party to keep the dems front and center in the voter mind. If Clinton wins it keeps the Republican party as a mere after though, exactly where they she be.

For the good of the party, please drop out after March 4th.

Please Hillary, put the party first, and DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!!!!

I've lost track on which side of her own talking points she's on.

After Ohio and Texas, Hillary has to go home because she cannot win but buy a new pillow for Bill so that he can sleep well because sleeping in the church while MLKJ III was speaking was not very comfortable.

Hillary, as a supporter of yours, I just want to ask you to drop out of the race on March 4th if you don't win decisively in both Texas and Ohio.

I know you will put the party ahead of yourself, and do the right thing for the party and country. You have always done so and won't let us down this time.

Please, Hillary, do the right thing on March 4th. We will never forget your service to this country!

HILLARY, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

End this on March 4th so we can defeat McCain and the GOP in November.

DEMOCRATS 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Continue to show the powerful, positive leadership which shows that you are a true fighter, a true patriot, and that you have a spine. Keep up the great work! You are deserving of the nomination.

Jane what makes you think any of the Hillary people will vote for Obama even if she drops out? Had I wanted to vote for Obama I would have done so a long time ago. Not gonna happen.

Hey, Paul, just having fun with you. No offense meant, more looking for a laugh.

Jane, i don't think you are a Hillary supporter at all. Why should she drop out of it is even a close loss or a virtual tie in Texas and Ohio. She still has more super delegates, Florida and Michigan votes need to be counted and the Delegates seated. For a supposed supporter, you really don't have much faith in Hillary Clinton. I say, she needs to take this fight all the way to the convention. Forget about that splitting the party nonsense, May the stronger and hardest fought campaigner win.

WestCoast - interesting comment about how Clinton deserves the nomination. This isn't an entitlement program, in my opinion. Neither deserves the nomination; both will continue to compete for votes as they have for the past year. Thus far, Obama has a near decision lead in that competition.

Wil - thanks, and no offense taken.

Jay - not sure whether Jane is or isn't, but there's faith in a candidate and there's hard numbers. I think Jane was just saying what seems to be mathematical truth. If Clinton doesn't win decisively on Tuesday, there won't be enough contests left to allow her to catch up.

As I've said before, I figure she needs to net at least 60 delegates Tuesday, and maybe as much as 70, just to have a shot at getting back into the race.

Right now it looks like Texas is a toss-up. Even if Clinton pulls it out, its unlikely she'll get more than a 5 delegate difference there, maybe 10 at the most. There's also a good chance she could win the popular vote there and lose the delegate race.

Ohio is her best shot at big gains. Though polls there have begun to tighten.

Rhode Island only has 32 delegates, and those polls are tightening as well.

Vermont seems pretty safely in Obama's camp, based on what I've seen.

Getting a net 60 delegates out of this will be tough.

I JUST WANTED TO ADD A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL YOU HILLARY SUPPORTERS, MR. HOWARD DEAN WAS ON FOX NEWS THIS MORNING AND HE GUARANTEED ALL THE VOTERS OUT THERE AND THE MEDIA, THAT DNC IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE SUPERDELEGATE PROCEDURE THAT HAVE IN PLACE TO PLEASE VOTERS OR CANDIDATES OUT THERE WHOM ARE TRYING TO CHANGE THE RULES. ACTUALLY, I AM SORRY HE WAS ON CNN THIS MORNING WITH ( i CAN'T THINK OF THE COMMENTATOR'S NAME...SORRY...).....BUT HE SAID THE SUPERDELEGATES WERE PUT IN PLACE FOR A REASON, AND HE AND THE DNC ARE NOT CHANGING THE RULES.

HE ALSO SAID, THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBLITY THAT THERE MAY BE A VOTE OVER FOR FLORIDA, IF FLORIDA PAYS FOR THE DO OVER.

SO MY ADIVCE TO ALL THE HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS, EDGE HER TO KEEP GOING EVEN IF SHE LOSES ONE OR EVEN TWO STATES ON TUESDAY.

Mayby Obama should be the one to get ready to give up on Teusday. i think the tide may be turning towards Clinton now.

Ladies, guys, here's the honest truth. On these blogs each of us are hard core Obama or Clinton supporters. Neither of us can or will change anyone's mind here. We're committed, period. No one out the in the real world reads those blogs and then votes on the basis of our give and take. Heck, I hope not. Nevertheless, it is fun to mess with the other side because our side is far superior in everything we say. We even spell most of our words correctly so we win.

Bad news for Obama, the winds are shifting in the latest Rasmussen daily tracking poll...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows John McCain with a slight lead over both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. McCain now leads Obama 48% to 43% and Clinton 47% to 44%

Well, Jay, at least Clinton seems to be losing by less. We win, I think. Nevertheless, I suspect with approximately half of dems supporting Hillary and half supporting Obama doesn't seem to be taken into account. Or I can always say, if I want to be silly, Obama you aught to drop out.

Gee Sandra, the way I read your comment, you're blaming Hillary Clinton for George bush's trillion dollar debt. That's a little odd.

Some of these are good posts by passioned people!

Primaries/caucuses are not about states - they are about delegate counts. But the election in Nov is about electoral counts. If you truly want the Dems to win you will look hard at the numbers and realize that the media and Obama campaign hype about number of states won are irrelevant in most cases for Nov.

The battleground states are the ones that matter come Nov. Electability is about who can beat the Reps in those states.

As far as the Rezko trials, there is some new information out there - the FBI mole over the past two years is talking now. Obama and the governor of IL did have several meetings with Rezko and these bring new questions to light. I personally have concerns about that and want more information.

to sandra:

Sandra it is a known fact that if Obama was in the senate the same time that HIllary and everyone else was, he would of voted the same as the majority, because his vote would be "present".
