Bauer is way over the top with this kind of behavior. I would hope that his man would both denounce and reject that type of hostile, disruptive, and spying activity on the part of the Obama campaign. Shame, shame, shame.

"Caucuses don't matter, silly." Haven't you been listening? If they aren't '80 year old white women' they cannot be trusted.

Talk about dirty tactics on the part of a campaign! Shame on you Obama's lawyer! This ploy was obviously designed to get press coverage.

That was uncalled for, but this article is neither clear nor complete. What was Wolfson complaining about (besides everything)? And why didn't the press ask him 'hey, Wolfie, you had over a year to learn about and plan for caucus states--what gives?'

From what I saw, there are polling places that are violating the party rules. Both candidates should be interested in this being resolved. Where is Obama's so-called integrity?

I keep stating to those entranced by OBAMA that there is more dirt to come...and although OBAMA has presented himself as the true candidate of "change" his true politico-self will eventually come out. The above is just and example of the depths he and his campaign staff will go to win this election. I am certain there is more going on....

Don't be fooled by the flashy speeches and rhetoric...It's still more of the same right down to the core!

Hey, if something needs to get resolved, it probably will be. But the whiny conference call was open to reporters and so what if someone from the Obama campaign called their bluff!! It's about time. Maybe saved the press from a second conference call!!!

Did not Hilary tried all her 'kitchen sink' (sic!) trickery on Obama?

CLintons painted Obama - 'not black enough', 'cryptic muslim - Hussain' with robo-call, even recently painted Obama darker than he appears. These are indegenious tectic, seeing Clintons doing all their tectic on Obama is just sickening!

Lets turn the page, lets make Hilary a history for yesterday!

Clinton lies, cheats and steals constantly so why get upset when someone finally turns the tables? Her and Bill's opponents have died by the scores. Unhealthy bunch... huh?

Does anyone really believe that Hillary Clinton ends up with EXACTLY the results she needed to continue to stick around. Coincidence ? Like New Hampshire, just in time to slow down the train. Obama or Mccain 09

Obama is the most machiavellian candidate ever, a phony fellow , a product of Chicago's dirty politics. If he wins the nomination, big chunk Hillary supporters will go McCain.

Beginning to look like O's friends are all questionable regarding their integrity. Birds of a feather flock together. O's getting hit pretty hard with the press with real news....he's got to finally begin to tell it all to everybody who is an American about who he really is in every facet of his life. Voters have the right to know the truth about their presidential hopefuls.

Hillary said that she offers a life-long experiences and Obama offers only one speech in 2002. Now Hillary supporters - can you really back up your candidate's claim? It looks scary to me to send someone like that to White House. Will she solve problems or create more problems?

When Bill Clinton won Texas twice they had no problem with the process there. Now the process is to blame because Hillary might lose there? How so?

I don't drink Latte, I don't drive Prius, but I support Obama. Anyone smart enough to run the White House, would not have done name calling of Obama supporters as stupid dreamers while clearly she needs support from those she put down to send her to White House.

I can't believe anyone would trust him enough to be the President of this country.

"Obama is the weakest link"

A BIG CLINTON (ABC) NETWORK - keep up the good work.

She gets a taste of her own doings....ha-ha like she has never done this before.Both Clintons cry foul when they lose ...No one is dirter then Billy Boy and she is a close second.

If a conservative wins an election/caucus/primary/etc. in a narrow victory, there always seems to be cries of "Fraud!" or "Disenfranchised!". How come this is simply played as a family feud? There are two closets crammed full of skeletons here, folks, and the door is creaking open. But don't be shocked when ABC and big media say, "Nope. No skeletons here."

The Republicans WIN!!!

On another topic:

I just had a thought: All males born after December 31, 1959 by law have to register for Selective Service (aka the draft). Do we know if Senator Barack Obama registered? He was born August 4th of 1961. If not, why not?

Is it possible that HRC is actually getting screwed? We'll never know. The only acceptable explanation is that BHO is winning fair and square.

Now that's REAL change! and hope, and the hope of change, and the change of, well hope...
What a bunch of idiots!
Let's do this Texas style, give'em both derringer's and have 'em turn at ten paces....
Couldn't agree with Lee more! This is going to be fun!!! Two political hacks trying to stab each other in the back while smiling for the media!
Oh, and where's the coverage of Rezco???

I don't know about anyone else but I just love seeing the Dems blow up before our eyes. The "protectors" of the voters are doing everything in their power to disenfranchise as many voters as possible. Florida...Michigan, Ohio and now Texas.

I don't ever want to hear about the "stolen 2000 election" from these hypocrites.

Claims of voter fraud and the Republicans are not involved? It makes me wonder.

Texas Democrats have engineered the most arcane primary/caucus system in the history of the U.S. "The Texas Fiasco"... Redefines the phrase "Cluster F%*k". Their antics leads one to conclude that the Dems could not run the USA any better than the campaigns. This could NOT happen to a finer party than the Democrats.

Keep on fighting, suing, slinging charges of voting irregularities, dirty campaigning tricks amongst yourselves.

Meanwhile, the GOP began its Presidential Campaign tonight.

The "Texas Fiasco"... One of the ONLY events in eight years that the liberals CANNOT blame on George W. Bush, yours and mine most beloved President.

If Hillary Clinton pulls this out, will she make Rush Limbaugh her press secretary and Ann Coulter her appointment secretary?

This is the strangest election since at least 1968: Hope the democratic party convention is a replay from that year!!

In Iowa the I asked for and received the list of people attending my caucus. There were definately 2 Obama supporters that were at the wrong location and knew they shouldn't be there. They were counted. There were also several questionable people that registered to vote. We talked about it but found the 2 would face charges however Obama would not loose any delegates. The 2 Obama supporters were young and had been following instructions by the Obama camp BUT they did know they were not suppose to be there. We decided it would be better to fight this out at the county convention. This sort of thing happened accross the state. I did not support either Obama or Clinton at the caucus but I do find it curious that Obama seems to do very well in caucus states with the exception of Nevada where they caucus was monitored carefully.

"Obama Camp Infiltrates Clinton Call"

This is simply uncalled for... How anyone, lawyer or not, can impose in this manner is simply unprofessional and outrageous. Who gives Obama or his representatives the right or POWER to do this?

As for Obama and the registering for the Selective Service? You have to be kidding.. this is the man that doesn't show respect for the flag and the protocols associated with it.

This country will be in serious trouble if Obama ends up President.

Gotta love it. Young voters shoot themselves in the foot yet again with their near-orgasmic love of Obama only to revert back to acting like the kids they are when things don't go their way.

Isn't it funny...every election charges are raised by the Democrats that Republicans are tampering with the vote. Yet, this election, the only voting process tampering seems to be on the Democratic side. What does that tell you?

"I can picture Obama running from the Senate chamber yelling "I'll get it!"

And hopefully that will be his only way to try to answer that phone... He certainly shouldn't be sitting next to it!

this is what happens when all we have are senators running for office. Governors have to lead, have to work with both parties and many constituents. Senators stay in power by working the system, infighting, getting on the right committees by selling out or compromising their ethics. This cat fight was destined to happen with these two. It's going to bloody the hell out of the dem party, just when they really needed to unite. Much to blame is on the radical left, moveon crowd. The refuse to recognize that most of the country is in the center, doesn't hate Bush even if they disagree, and doesn't hate Bill even if they think he embarassed the country. This election would have been hillary's if not for the far left wing and her lack of anything strongly centrist or right of center. McCain's a proven collaborator with both sides. He drives both far right and far left crazy, but neither of them will EVER when an election without independents and some rational compromise. Reagan was easy on immigrants, Bill passed welfare reform. The center wins time and again, the alternatives are too risky for 55% of americans either way.

I think it is great after the attack ads Hillary came out with and now she is unhappy about the caucus. Do you blame Obamas attorney? They are so dirty and I hope she never is in the White House.

Unhinged?! Look whose talking! This from the campaign who tried to smear Obama with photos of him in islamic dress, and highlighting the Hussein business? Honestly the Clinton campaign makes Karl Rove look like an amateur in the art of smear campaigns! If Obama wants to exercise the art of turnabout being fair play, then I say more power to him.

I am so pleased to see Obama got a spanking. Thank goodness voters began to do research on Obama's views.

Good one "S." Young voters: reminds me of what/who is out there voting every time I see Jaywalking on the Tonight Show. Some of the gifted young can't even recognize a picture of Al Gore. But they're all for change! ROFLMAO.

Hillary's decision to go on tonight means that she is this election cycle's version of Ralph Nader in 2000.

Add "spoiler" to the Clintons' record of private, public and financial misdeeds.

A party of change cannot be a party to corruption.

P.S. Did you notice that after winning Ohio tonight, Hillary mentioned Barack Obama, but couldn't bring herself to mention him, much less congratulate him on his victory, the 11 times he won previously?

No class.

just keep on fighting that wiil make mccain a sure shot for the white house

My neighborhood went 86 % obama to 14 % clinton, everyone was respectful and we made sure that both camps shared all responsibilities, so that there would be no cries of foul play. After all we are all on the same team!

Yes We Can... beat the Republicants in November.

How can the Dems rule the world if they can't even rule themselves!?

There are now reports coming out of Texas that people that would appear to be Obama supporters were told when they went to vote that the caucus location had been change or cancelled when neither was true. I wonder which campaign was behind that.

Today I watched election results all day and I was amazed that Mr Obama and his team will go to dirty tricks and continue to defend it.I have one question why as Chairman of subcomm. charged in hearing of Afghanistan from one year he did not hold even a single hearing WHY ?

Dear Roger:

Disingenuous tactics bro, that's how you spell it. But more importantly, and apparently, just because you say something doesn't make it so. And just because you turn to strong arm tactics when you're not so saintly anymore, and actually have already started LYING to the american people about communications with a FOREIGN government, and then say "it's all the information I had at the time" when you're CAUGHT LYING about it (thanks, CANADA!) ala Bush himself...let me just use a phrase that can be understood here: "Makes ya go hmmmmmm"

Rock on Hill!

I can't express how happy I am that Clinton and Obama will continue opposing eachother at least through to Pennsylvania. Hopefully, the Democrat nominee will be the result of a brokered convention in which the super delegates are the tie breakers. If this is the case, Clinton will probably come out on top. This will effectively split the Democrat Party along racial lines. Congratulations Hillary. Let's hope that you succeed in stealing the nomination from Obama and spliting the Democrat Party for the general election.

I won't vote for McCain, can't vote for Hillary, guess Nader gets my vote.

Hillary runs completely negative the last week and gets the media to carry that message because its in their self-interest to keep this race going. She will destroy the party but that doesn't matter as long as her name is on the ballot. Yet Obama still won't go negative and still speaks about unity. The world is watching and no one will respect a president Hillary.

"So goes OHIO, so goes the Nation!"
I guess you've got your answer folks...GO HILLARY!

No more flip flops Bwark Obama, you need to come clean regarding Renko and NAFCA;"it's just rhetoric" not anymore it's not!

"So goes OHIO, so goes the Nation!"
I guess you've got your answer folks...GO HILLARY!

Gooooooo ! Nader !!! <<< The only honest one left in the bunch...

Maybe we should set the bar for some minimum requirements for presidential, vice presidential candidates. What should they be? Whomever promises the most? Whomever promises whatever the most people want to hear? Political connections with special interests? Political experience? Life experiences? Business experience? Wealth? Intelligence? Integrity? Vision? It doesn't matter who the candidate is, it is tragic that whomever promises whatever the most people want to hear how all these other values fall to the wayside.

I love to see Obama beating the Clintons at their own game..seems they cannot handle it when the shoe is on the other foot
the tactics they have employed for over 15 years is now coming back to haunt them

I feel sorry for Hillary these days. This is her last chance at the brass ring. Come on people, Obama will still be young enough to run again in 2012 and 2016. VOTE HILL!

I agree with jk's comments above. And the world is watching not only Hillary but also the media. Dirty and cheap.

If Hilary were to get the nomination, which in itself, would tear the democratic party to pieces, I, for one, would have no hesitation to vote for McCain.

It's a real shame the media was on the conf call too. Barack could have denied this ever happened. Maybe he can still say he wasn't aware of it - or maybe deny even knowing Bauer.

Sounds like dirty campaign tricks... It seems that Obama is not the choir boy that's been portrayed by his campaign. More like the bully...

The Clintons wrote the book on sleaze. And the Repubicans are going to remind their core constituents just how much sleaze and corruption and National Security incompetence these Arkansas grifters have dragged the United States through. They have been preparing to clean "Hilarity's" clock for 4 years. If the democrats lose on November 4th, they will have no one to blame but themselves.

I agree with Nate. Clinton release Hilary and her ill fated Hilary Care plan on Congress in 1993 and the result was the "Republican Contract with America" in the midterms which witnessed the Republican take over of the U.S. Congress after 50 years of democrat domination.

Think about this.

The democratic party is supposed to be the party of the open minded. Libs preach that the cons are racist and sexist. Yet its the dems that are constantly fighting over racism and sexism.

Explain this one to me.

If the democrat way of governing is the best way to go then could someone explain why Michigan is in such trouble?

Michigan, a state that has lib senators, lib congressmen, lib govenor, lib city council's, and lib mayors. You'd think it would be the Utopia of the entire country, but its not. My God, its the exact opposite. And the only excuse for the chaos that is Michigan is that its Bush's fault.

After decades of lib control in Michigan, the insane taxes and laws, not to mention the lib run education system, has finally run the once great state into the ground. And after all the madness and chaos, the lib voters recycle the same snakeoil salesmen over and over and over. It might be a different person taking over the mayor or senators job but they all seem to come into office with the same slogan. I'm going to make real changes, and its going to get better. But does it?

You libs are either incredibly stupid, incredibly naive, or just plain gullable.

Medicare, Social Security, the DMV, and the US Postal Service are ALL government run programs. All are in need of serious reform or even better outright eliminating. Yet, the libs want to turn over their own personal health and well being to the SAME people that run these messed up programs. Are you INSANE!!!!?????

Hillary is for chang.
Obama is for change.

Destroying the country wouldn't be a good thing, but it would be a change.

To all the lemmings in IA, IL, KS, NE, GA, VT, etc...you're welcome. We Texans aren't ready to buy what Obama's selling. Don't mess with Texas. We certainly don't need a preacher and his wife to tell us it's time to be proud.

As a 70 year old lifelong democrat, I will vote for a republican this fall for the first time. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama are even close to being qualified for the office of president. Mrs. Clinton was First Lady for goodness sakes and Mr. Obama just left the minor leagues two years ago. We must have a qualified person in the white house, and the only candidate left is John McCain. Me and the Missus have to think of the country, first, not the party!

If Obama wins the nomination, the democrats can kiss the Presidency goodbye... Look at Texas... Even with African Americans, who comprise of close to 20 percent D-Base voting overwhelming for him by almost 9 to 1, he wasn't able win the state... That means that he's only winning 20 some odd percent of everyone else that's not African American... Mostly bleeding heart liberals... and you can see that preference in the stats (higher income, education) and also with the Kennedy endorsement... The battle states are won by Hillary.

want to talk about fair & open? Let's talk about Hillery & Bill's LOCKED FILES. Yes those files that they locked up for the next 50 years. Files that will show all the dirt & dirty tricks they have done. Hope her friends during this go around have a better health plan than those in the past. Hillery says she has experience to run the White house, yet she has problems running her own hand picked folks in her campaign. What will happen when she needs to bring folks together. She talks about being able to run this nations economy, however, she can't run her own finances. Not being able to pay her own folks. When the going gets tough, she resorts to scare tactics & negative smearing. When it gets tough in the White House will she try these same tactics on other nations or be creative enough to know how develop goals & strategies to work through the tough times. Beware people leopards don't/ won't change their spots.

Obama is not only a Washington politician he is deceiving and uses very low tactics. I "HOPE" people hypnotized by the media realize that.

If photo of Obama in Muslim attire is negative ad.. maybe you might also concludes that photo of Obama and Rezko in a jovial mood like they were intimate friends are also defamable to this bid for nomination.. What else is positive if everything is negative. How about photo of him with Ayers, the terrorist convicted .. that could be double negative. Solution: meida should not expose Obama because it is hurting him ( Ohio and Texas results). I think the motto: Honestry is the best policy is very appropriate for OBAMa . TO TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ALL ABOUT HIM THAT HE WAS ONE TIME INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION AND THAT HE NOW RENOUNCED IT AND APOLOGIZED TO THE PUBLIC might work since the OBamania are still crazy for him. The "boneheaded decision is not enough explanation afterall because he lost three primaries.

My precinct had 357 people sign in at the caucus. 178 signed for Clinton and 178 signed for Obama. One gave no preference. Because it was a tie, we had to decide what to do about an odd number of delegates to be divided (39). The caucus chair proposed that each candidate get 19 delegates and that he would be the 39th delegate and remain uncommitted (and vote that way at the district convention). This was a perfectly fair solution as each candidate would get exactly the same proportion of delegates as they had votes (1/2). The cry-baby Obamatons started screeching that it was unfair and that the 39th delegate should be forced to vote with the popular vote of the state. I only wish we'd taken them up on it as we'd have gotten another vote for Hillary.

The Obamatons are just a bunch of naive cult-followers. I like how their hired bloggers come and and put all the anti-Clinton stuff all over the Net. An educated voter is their worst enemy. Someone posted "If Clinton gets the nomination don't assume that Obama-backers will vote for her". Maybe so, but I have not talked to a single Clinton supporter that would EVER vote for Obama -- we're planning to vote for McCain if Obama wins.

As a Canadian who has lived in your great country three different times let me give you the view of millions of Canadians.
If Americans think for one mega -second that Obama is your shinny knight and will be the leader to take on the vast world problems you are all dreaming in color. He will not be able to "speech' his way out when dealing with the lunatics around the globe.
WAKE UP! WE ARE YOUR CLOSEST ALLY AND WE ARE SCARED TO DEATH OF HIM
BOBBY

Most of the comments and media coverage show me just how ignorant and racist America still is. Hillary was FIRST LADY. Not Vice President, Secretary of State or any other office. Are you kidding me with this 35 years experience nonsense.

What about Whitewater and what really happened to Vincent Foster and not to mention Ron Brown. Where are her tax returns? And we won't even mention Bill's dirty deals.

Let's face facts: Most white americans do not want a black president and will follow this cheating, lying dragonlady to hell because of that.

I will vote McCain before Clinton. At least I know where he stands!

All the kool-aid drinking empty suits are starting to squirm, GOOD! And you Russell, how about all the blacks voting for the Messiah just because he is black, you are no better and just as racist.

Imagine that...Hillary complaining and trying to change the rules again. What a clown. I can't imagine Clinton's crying and whining holding up against McCain in November. She'll only serve to motivate the Repugs to come out and vote.

Obama's pledged delegate lead is still intact. Being up by 20 points two weeks ago in these states and winning by 10 points and 3 points is not momentum...it's hanging on by a thread. Superdelegates, take notice.

After only two days of media scrutiny the Obama camp is backpedaling, whining and becoming unhinged! Does anyone truly believe Obama will be able to sustain a winning campaign against McCain and the Republican? It seems obvious that they won't. They outspent Clinton by significant margins in all four of the primary states that voted yesterday. They lost three (two by large margins). If democrats want to take back the White House and change the direction of this country, then vote Hillary Clinton.

It appears the Obama camp is imploding fast. It just shows how immature the group really is.

Clinton should get the delegates for Florida and Michigan. It is ridiculous that these are being left out. She earned these delegates!

I have been on the blogs for months. I have watched every democratic debate and most of the Republican debates.
I have never seen so many people write such horrible stuff about Hillary. If you want to knock her on the issues fine, but the Obama supporters are mean spirited. The problem is you can throw out a bunch of stuff but you can't take it.
Old stuff is the past and you must move on. Having a woman instead of a man in over 200 years is what we need.
If its all right for other countries to have women run their government its should be great for ours.

Hello, Here in Switzerland we tightly follow the US elections. Most of the people here are scared by the fact someone with such a little experience in politics could run the most powerful contry in the world. The most common advice is : "Elect Hillary Clinton and take Barack Obama as vice-president, then next time, Obama will be ready to take power". Personnaly I also agree that Obama doesn't have enough experience to rule our world...Thank you Americans for all the passion you put in this election and for the excellent media coverage :-)

Superdelegates take notice that we are mad as hell aren't going to take it anymore. Do your job pick who is best for this party and can get elected. DO
NOT let Obama and his supporters strong arm you the way they have.
Kennedy, Kerry and Kennedy get ready to change your votes.
Obama can not come out fighting, then he will be going against everything he has been standing for.

Maybe now Edwards can come out for Hillary now. She has proven to be the person for the people.

Iraqi speeches do not get you anywhere
when thats all you have. She sits on the same committee as McCain and she has been there for 2 hearings. How are thoughs hearings going for Obama. What hasn't done any to busy running for President can't multi task.
Not who I want to lead us, he might push the wrong buttton like when he votes. (6 times said he pushed the wrong button in the US Senate)
Not Trustworthy

Unstable and unhinged...

Sounds like two accurate portrayals of the Obama campaign now that the momentum has shifted.

Those who are familiar with the slash and burn tactics that characterize past Axelrod work should not be surprised.

And to think, we call this country great with this type of election mess going on! What ever happened to "We the people?" It is so sad to say that "America was once the greatest place to be", now, look at the shame we have bestowed upon ourselves as "greed" and "dirty politics" have taken over! I really am perplexed!

This whole election thing is getting scarier and scarier. I teach a group of young adults, most of who are 17 soon to be 18 or under 20. While our class is not about politics, the subject recently came up. I was totally amazed, although I probably shouldn't have been, that the majority said they were voting for Obama "because they were tired of having old farts running the country." When I asked them to please explain what they thought he would bring to our country, only one out of the 11 could even offer something about his campaign promises. The rest all yelled out "change!" What kind of change, how to finance it, what about the war, how to fix housing situation, etc etc. No one could offer anything concrete and in fact many didn't really care because it didn't concern them---not now anyway because they already had their Blackberrys, laptops, and designer clothes.

BTW just so you know, there is a typo error in my comment, not grammatical one saying "most of WHOM". Sorry for the double posting, havent a clue how it got there. A final comment is that while I've been a life long Democrat, if this "stuff" from both Dem camps keeps on going, I may just have to vote Republican.

I was at the Texas caucas for district 185. There was an Obama rep who took the sign in packet and went off with other Obama supporters to fill them out, they came back and handed it in, they were the only ones to do this.

FYI- They were suppose to show their voting reciept to be able to sign the sheet. The caucas is counted by the talley on the sheets , not the people!
Once signed people could leave.

People were pissed, there was no way to prove that everyone who signed the sheets were even there! Obama people made us have to count them, what could we do , we should have thrown it all out.

I am soo fustrated over this , and so are many of the other people who were there. With reports out of Dallas talking about poeple being locked out, police reports showing up now reporting how Obama's people were locking the doors to the buildings and telling Hillary supporters the caucas was moved or cancelled, I think that comes close to what we see in 3rd world countries. It's time to end caucassing. It does not work , its a waste of people's time and corrupt politics are easy to pull off.

I can't believe that the Republicans actually think they have a chance of winning this election after 8 years of one of the worst presidents this country has ever seen. People are complaining about the Clintons when Bill left office with a 65% approval rating. G W's rating is dismal. Simply put this is a job application and we are the employers. Do what any employer would do. Vote for the most qualified person. Simply put.. it is Hillary.

The woman is just trash. Do and say anything for a win.
