I think Obama should sacrifice for the Dem. party, be VP of Hillary. He didn't win any big states.

The Clintons brought so many years of shame on our country during their years at the white house. We had months and months of hearings about the taudry details of their time at our beloved White House. They brought Whitewater, travelgate and numerous other scandals to us. They didn't pay attention while Al Queda organized the 911 attacks - not a credential for foreign policy agent or Commander in Chief.

Mrs. Clinton is the spouse of an impeached president and a junior senator. She has no more experience than Mr. Obama. She promised jobs in New York to get her seat in the Senate, but the jobs never materialized.

I admire the way Mr. Obama is genuine and taking the high road. He needs to remind Americans of our history with the Clintons and the shame they brought on our nation.

Guys,

In last night's races, there is a wide acceptance that Hillary will come out with a net gain of 10 delegates(after TX caucus is also accounted).

But the number of Dem SuperDelegate's up for grabs were

VT - 8
TX - 12
OH - 21
RI - 12

Obama's camp always says that the Superdelegates should go by popular vote.

So
Hillary gets 45 SD's
Obama gets 8 SD's

In essence, Hillary netted 10 + (45 - 8)= 37 delegates/superdelegates from last night......WOWWWEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

HILLARY-EDWARDS '08

lmao.

That's funny coming from a state senator who cant even show up in the National Senate, or be bothered to vote because he's too busy.

Wait, he didn't vote when he was a state senator either.

He was too busy!!

LMAO

Hmmm. I can understand Obama wanting to knock her off her negative messages about him, but he should be careful not to beat her up too much.

Actually when all is said and done, she will gain at least 25 pledged delegates from last night, maybe more depending on TEX caucuses.

And yes if Super delegates have to vote as their states voted, thank you JOhn Kerry and Ted Kennedy for your support of Hillary Clinton, she would have more super delegates not less.

You see all the obama camp's arguements about how she can't win and Math are loads of horse manure.

There's an easy way to break the tie. Count 2 million votes in Florida and Michigan. No dem nominee is going to win the white house be campaigning to disenfranchise 2 million Americans.

No way!

When everyone asks Obama what good judgement he has shown, he says he has shown good judgement by not voting for Iraq vote....HE DINT HAVE TO VOTE AT ALL. What is he trying to prove. I think he has lost it.

Hillary Clinton is too polarizing to carry the vote against McCain. She's the establishment and so is he.

Obama/Edwards is a perfect solution for America.

Hillary is about to be reminded of her time at the White House and it's nothing to be proud of.

Visiting countries for tea with the locals is not foreign policy experience.

She has no experience as Commander in Chief, nothing even close.

Barack Obama represents the Democratic party and our ideals. He will win with large amount of popular vote and delegates.

After what happened yesterday, I just have a question for Dem. If this was a boxing contest, how do you defeat the incumbent title holder, Clinton? The answer is by delivering a knock out punch. I also know that politics is not a game for gentlemen and so far Sen. Obama has played by the rules according to the polls. Most Dems.(my friends) have had enough of Sen. Clinton’s negative campaign; they also believe if that’s going to be the trend Obama has to deliver a few direct blows to gain enough points on his score card. Now is the time to ask the Sen. Clinton what her 35 yrs of experience really is. Now is the time to ask questions about what the American public need to know. If you guy don’t ask these questions, the republican’s will. Every American knows all of the stuff that’s part of Clinton’s experience like: Whitewater, Travel gate, Monica Lewinsky and impeachment, renting out the Lincoln bedroom, the loss of the Rose Law Firm billing records for nearly 2 years until they were miraculously found in the White House living quarters, removing files from Vince Foster’s office following his suicide and before investigators could get there.
I'm a republican and I know Sen. McCain will ask these question. Don't forget our secret weapon, Karl Rove. Bring it on Dems. It's Republicans driving in the Straight Talk Express to the White House come fall '08.

We are going to win those states anyway, no matter who the nominee is our numbers are double the republicans in those states. Clinton won those with slim margins and a lot of focus, fight, negativity and old time political relationships...and against Obama, another dem. We need the redder states. Which Obama wins with a MUCH bigger majority.

That is the fact... the bigger states are democratic states for the most part and Hillary won most by tiny/slim margins.

Shirley, you do love your republican talking points. Nevertheless, you forgot to ad that she killed Foster, she's a witch, a liar, a fraud. Get a life. Those of us in the Hillary camp have heard all the crap you Obama folks throw around, but stay tuned for the Rezko trial going on each and every day from here on out. Are you having fun now?

Give me a break! Obama is going to question the experience of Hillary? There is one area where Obama has more experience than Hillary and that is running for office. Has Obama even completed the full term of any office he was elected to? The minute he is elected he already has his sights on the next prize. Is this about wanting to work for the people or is it simply a case of personal ambition??

We need to she her tax return and the library records NOW. If something contained therein is going to blow-up...let's have that happen BEFORE she's the nominee.

Chan - this isn't a boxing match.

Besides, your point isn't correct anyway. Boxers holding titles get beat on points all the time. Granted there's some reservation over giving a challenger a decision, but it does happen.

Obama doesnt represent anything. He is arrogant and divisive. Just look at the number of African-American people that are voting for him just because he looks African-American. He has effectively divided the country on race lines. People are getting very rude while defending his stance. I hope he realises that he is ruining the dreams of millions of youth

Glad to see that America has spoken against Obama leading this country and taking it to the dumps.

Obama HAS won big states. He won Washington, Virginia, Georgia, Illinois and Missouri. Don't drink the HRC Kool-Aid.

Finally Senator Obama claimed experience does matter...He is not qualified to talk about experiences because he got NONE...

Let's continue to have meaningful discussion about a winning election strategy. I'm comfortable with an Clinton-Obama ticket. I'm not quite as comfortable with an Obama-Clinton ticket, but could maybe be sold, but I need to hear sound logic. This is a healthy process to continue, just don't let the right-wing windbags knock us off focus. The momentum is with Clinton, and this has become a matter for consideration by the artists, as opposed to the mathematicians.

MattOhio, you Ohio folks rock! When you Ohio guys finished speaking the Obama folks are still shaking and whining all day long. Thanks for standing up Ohio!

Dogsoldier - did you see Matt Lauer on the Today show asking Hillary about the picture of she and Bill beaming while standing with him. Hmmmmmm....maybe he raised some money for them too?

Of course Hillary's trademark response "I don't recall"....

Here we go again. Before we know it there will be a "vast right wing conspiracy" theory. lol

Those who are saying Hillary has won big States must understand that she did not win 100%. There is also a percentage which Obama won as well.

Hillary without Obama can not win the Presidency. Thats why she suggested the joint ticket. But due to the following, I do not think Obama will accept her offer so easily:

1. The leakege Photo of Obama in traditional Somali dress.
2. Hillary Red Phone TV ad in Texas.
3. "Shame on You" Meet Me in Ohio" remarks.
4. Issue of Obama being Muslim and Hillary comment "not that I know of".
5. She raised the issue of Rezko.
6. The revealation of Obama Economic Aide meeting with Canadian Officials about NAFTA.

And a lot more!

I agree with WestCoastMessenger wholeheartedly. Try to put this word through to the Dem Party bosses somehow. Bottomline is Obama Cannot Close. In future contests his stubbornness will go against the will of people. He cant be the front-runner maybe the VP.

Waw! Obama plans to question Hillary's experience.

I think it is high time that the people question Obama about his experience with Rezko too.

If it comes to the joint ticket I think Obama would be the better person and forgive Hillary her ...smearing- he really does want what is best for this country. That is what he has believed all along, now if I could just get that same feeling from Hillary then this wouldn't feel so gross to think about ...

WestCoast - I have to ask, do you accept the Clinton campaign's suggestion that Obama isn't ready?

If so, how can you support Obama as a running mate? The VP is a heartbeat away.

I think Obama is ready, or at least as ready as any non-incumbent could be. But I was just wondering about what I see as a contradictory message from Clinton, and whether her supporters agree with it.

Hillary doesn't have a chance vs. McCain. She has too many skeletons in her closet. (Hey - maybe the tax papers and White House papers are lost in her closet again?? Last time it took 4 years to find them!)

If all they have on Obama is a loose relationship with Rezko - that's nothing compared to the never ending list of lies and litigation and embarrasment that she'll bring upon the Democratic party. If she is the nominee, the Republicans win.

Obama is the hope of the Democratic Party - Edwards on the ticket with him would be the best.

Barrack,

Only foreign policy experience you have is what you inherited from your father who used to herd goats in Kenya. Hillary went all over the world and met and discussed military and political issues with leaders of all major countries during Bill's terms 1992-2000. She has a lot of experience of dealing with world leaders and you have goat herding experience from your father. Just think about that. You coudn't be that dumb.

if people are still doing delegate math, they are just too junior to politics... The truth is:

Neither candidates will have enough delegates into convention by rule... It will be up to super delegates to decide beased on:

The keys here are popular vote and who is the strongest one and has the best chance to beat Rep.

Hillary will win popular vote (she just regained it) by winning the big states. It is the will of majority of people. If Superdelegates vote against, Obama has to eat his words: delegates should follow the will of people..

Then who is the strongest and best change?? It is clear now..

as far as the superdelagates voting with their states, hillary would gain a total of 37 from last nights contests but would lose all the superdelegates from the previous 11 states. She still does not want them to be counted that way. She will continue to go negative, stall releasing her taxes and white house documents. If she gets the nomination those documents will come out and she will be shown to be a fraud. Visiting cpountries on the President's arm and for photo ops does not make for foreign policy experience.
taking money from Saudi businessmen and royals in order to fund your campaign does not integrity make. If her argument for time in is to be looked at as valid, she just endorsed John McCain for President.

The big states argument makes me want to kill myself. NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA WILL GO TO ANY DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, THATS NOT AN ISSUE! THE ISSUE IS WHO CAN WIN CROSSOVER APPEAL TO TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE! OBAMA WINS IN THE RED STATES AND HE CAN WIN SOME IN NOVEMBER!

And if we're talking about experience and judgment? Well shoot, if Obama let his wife cheat on him, he'd probably have been ripped a long time ago right? Ooh wait a minute, I thought this is all about women's rights and having the first woman president? Hmmm too bad we can't look at Hill from the same perspective cuz, last time I checked, supporting the humiliation of someone's wife is not supporting the feminist cause.

I dont know how many will laugh with me on this...but last night Obama camp dint see the Clinton machine run over them...they were busy looking at the calculators.

Dreamer last night the Obama lawyers were so desperate they crashed a private Clinton conference call. Now if that is not reaching for the bottom, not to forget the judge in Ohio who tried to assist Obama campaign last night. That will get the airtime it deserves very soon, mark my words. Check it out and see for yourself.

She made a tough vote that to this day is hard to live with.All he can say is I would have voted against it.Thats like saying I would have bought a lottery ticket after finding out the numbers and than trying to get a cut of the winnings.

Is there a reason why candidates are allowed to get this far into the race without full disclosure of pertinent documents? It seems like this happens all the time and then by the time we have already picked our nominee it is too late. Another vote between Worse and Worser.Does anyone know why that is?

MattOhio - the results of all four states are pretty close to what Axelrod projected back in the first week of February. That's the difference between a campaign that plans ahead, and one that doesn't.

So, I don't agree with your assessment that Obama's campaign doesn't recognize what's happening.

Hillary and Bill Clinton would sell her mother to the highest bidder if they thought it would help them!

She thinks she is entitled to the Presidency!

Well, we have something to say about that!

"I think it is very premature to start talking about a joint ticket.”

Where is Mr. Unity now?

This very comment by Obama flies in the face of his claim that this election is about the people not him. Apparently his ego cannot handle being number 2.

I guess the people of Texas and Ohio saw through all of this lies.

YEAH AMERICA!

Sam - you've gotta be kidding!!!
"Hillary went all over the world and met and discussed military and political issues with leaders of all major countries during Bill's terms 1992-2000."

Whaaa haaa haaa haaa - she really has you believing THAT??? You are gullable or too young to know better.

Maybe if she ever reveals her itinerary from those years - oh, she's working on that, right??

ha ha ha

DogSoldier, I have heard all about it, I have listened to the spins from both sides and I stayed up way too late last night to see everyone show their true colors...yeah I got it- idk though is it deperation or just sheer frustration? Trying to pay attention to all of the back and forth he said she saids is exhausting. I would rather just watch them focus on the issues.

In fact, let's take this a step further. It takes preparation to be ready on Day One. It takes hard work.

Aren't these the basic rationale for Clinton's campaign now? She'll work harder, she'll be ready...

Well, given the actions of their respective campaigns, I'd suggest Obama might just be the president-elect who will be ready on Day One.

Bill and Michelle, it seems you're out of touch again. Forty percent of Americans do have relationship problems and some keep their families together and some go on to new relationships. I do not comment on their private affairs because that is their business. Why do you want to involve yourself in the private affairs of others and are you saying that is Obama's policy?

Paul this a boxing contest and it takes a knock out punch to win. Since you Dems. can't decide on a clear winner and you still have Mr. Rezko + NAFTA versus Mrs.Whitewater, Travel gate, Monica Lewinsky and impeachment, renting out the Lincoln bedroom, the loss of the Rose Law Firm billing records for nearly 2 years until they were miraculously found in the White House living quarters, removing files from Vince Foster’s office following his suicide and before investigators could get there. She has also refused to release her tax records and library records (hiding them, I guess). Whoa, Sen. Clinton has more experience than Obama. I guess if that's what the Dems call experience, she's the nominee. Sen. McCain would expose her and we will deliver the knock out punch

Obama 's foreign policy;

first , invade and bomb our ally--Parkistan, change our ally into enemy.
second, without precondition and clear purpose to meet , talk with our enemies, then hope they become our friend.
in face, those are big changes.

Dreamer, point taken.

OMG I think we just agreed , is that even allowed on these blogs?

Bill and Michelle,
President Clinton's affair isn't the issue. The ensuing coverup was.
Lewinsky/Flowers - Bill
Travelgate - Hillary
Whitewater - Hillary
Rose Law Firm - Hillary
Vince Foster's papers stolen from his office and later found in Hillary's - Hillary

See - she has many things to account for is she wants to talk about her 35 years of experience. 20 years were spent on those.

Obama cannot win this election by losing. That's basically the idea when someone starts talking about his small delegate lead.

Also, it's illogical to dismiss the importance of the larger states. The larger states are Democrat territory. To dismiss the larger states for the judgement of North Dakota, Idaha, and Kansas IS insane, since they will not vote Democrat in November.

For Obama to think he can win in November while claiming that he's "not for amnesty" for the Fl and MI voters is also "silly." Not only does it insult those states...it also insults the many latin voters who struggle with immigration issues.

What is Obama trying to do? Destroy the
democratic party. There is no way he will
beat McCain. My friends and I have discussed
this many times. If Hillary doesn't run
we will all vote for McCain. Obama should
show some signs of accomplishment to
the people of Illinois before taking on the
presidential race. If Obama continues this
nasty path of smear tacticts he will destroy
his party's chances of winning and it will
also be a good by to his ever winning the
presidency.

Patsy Moore, Bill Clinton's mother passed away from cancer.

MattOhio, I like your idea. Give all the superdelegates of the states you have won to the candidate. Since Hillary is behind in delegates, popular vote, and lost more states, then Obama should have more superdelegates then her. But before last night Hillary was ahead of 50 superdelegates even though Obama was leading in every category. Be careful what you wish for. Also, way to Claim Michigan as a win Hillary, Obama wasn't even on the ticket. You helped make the rules and then the rules hurt you so lets change them. Typical Clintons.

Bill Clinton was there for the tsunami victims raising money to help. Bill Clinton was there for the 911 victims and the after effects for the first responders raising money to support and help their families. Bill Clinton was there for New Orleans raising money to help and support them in their needs. Where was Obama?

At this point...I think the only thing we can agree on...is that if our candidate is NOT chosen to lead the party....then John McCain doensn't look so bad!

Dogsoldier...he was out campaigning and having teas with Oprah! Heheh!

Jason

About MI and FL, here are the facts.

1. DNC declared whoever went before Jan 2007 wont be seated

2. DNC Presidential Candidates signed a pledge to not campaign in FL and MI

3. FL and MI moved their primaries ahead. The voters dint even know that they were moved and 1 and 2 had happened.

4. Barack Obama ran campaign ads in FL.

Now Jason my friend, what do you make of points 1 through 4. Do you still want to blame Clinton?

Yet the civil fraud trial of Bill Clinton, Grammy’s producer Gary Smith and Clinton intimate and fundraiser Jim Levin, for defrauduing Hillary’s largest donor in 2000, which has been pending in Los Angeles since 2003, and now preparing for a November, 2008 trial has NEVER been announced by the mainstream media.

Hillary was able to extricate herself as a co-defendant in the case in January, 2008 after years of appeals relating to her efforts to use of First Amendment protections from tort claims arising out of federal campaign solicitations to be extricated as a defendant after the California Supreme Court refused to dismiss her from the case in 2004.

Hillary will be called as a witness in both discovery and the trial according to the trial court Judge who so-advised Hillary’s attorney David Kendall when he dismissed Hillary as a co-defendant in 2007. A subpoena is being prepared this month and will be served personally on Hillary, along with Chelsea, Pa Gov. Ed Rendell, Al Gore and other well known political and media figures.

Yet the media has refused to report about this landmark civil fraud case- brought by Hillary’s biggest 2000 donor to her Senate race, regarding allegations that were corroborated by the Department of Justice in the criminal trial of Hillary’s finance director David Rosen in May, 2005

Ben lol.

hillary clinton already destroyed the democratic party, nice of you to try the distortions though....
even if she wins, she will lose. The dems remember the 90's, nothing but drama and scandal.
That's why we know the Ohio voters are ADD....someone told them bill and hillary will move to Ohio to help them personally.

Obama had to hope that this campaign was done last night as now the Tony Rezko trial will be in full swing and the campaign will be still ongoing. The questions about his associations with Rezko will continue and will tarnish the golden boy image. He will try to bring up the so-called Clinton scandals of the past but he will look bad in doing so, it will be in opposite of what his campaign has promised in the past, and he will just look like he is participating in "politics as usual". If there is a conviction in the Rezko case or if Obama gets called to testify in the next few weeks this could be very damaging to him.

Paul, I accept the premise that Hillary Clinton is better prepared, and with Obama a heartbeat away, I'm comfortable that this will be a powerful team and the best possible positioning for a presidential-vice presidential seating that we've had in the past century. The last time we were in a position like this was with JFK and LBJ and that fails by comparison to this possibility.

he he....he's spent his entire career in the senate running for president. why doesnt he emphasize his own experience?

Cmon LA in Indiana, the only reason I like Indiana is because you have the COLTS.

Tell Obama he can become VP at most. If he tries to fight the Clinton Machine he will go back to Chicago and sit on that 10ft of lawn that he bought from Rezko wondering why he bought it.

Bottom line, if Hillary is the nominee she will be crushed by Mc Cain, The Obama camp will not vote for her after the negative campaign (even if Obama asks them to do so), and Republicans hate Hillary and the Clitnons in general so much that they will largely come to support Mc Cain. No exit for Hillary there, she needs Obama on the ticket to be president.
On the other hand, Obama if the nominee (seems to be the most obvious ending right now, even if Hillary did well yesterday),will not be inclined to put Hillary on board, because it stands against his campaign's message and once again will lead to the republican rallying Mc Cain. He will pick a woman VP or an hispanic VP to reach out to the voters of these demographics. Either of them should be older than he is to counterbalance the attacks on experience and maybe with a strong military or foreign affair background.

Democrats all over the country should really think about getting in the White House and not about making a point or hiding one's head into the sand. HILLARY CANNOT BEAT MC CAIN WITHOUT OBAMA, SHE KNOWS IT, THAT IS WHY SHE PROPOSED IT TODAY!!!
But here is another thought, maybe Hillary is not thinking about 2008, but rather 2012, she kills Obama's candidacy by giving Republicans the tools to negative pressure, Obama weakened might lose the presidency and therefore she can campaign in 2012, how twisted is that? It's Clinton's twisted.
Cheers
An independent.

I don't understand why Hillary will jubilate when She almost lost TX to Obama.. I taut she proudly said that was her firewall.. I guess her so called firewall couldn't stand Obama's wave. The only reason she won Ohio was because of all the negative attacks she launched at Obama the last days. I am in Canada, and all of us here Know that BIll's visit here last week was to work on one of his dirty tricks... I know Americans are smarter.. And I for one and Lots of people I know are proud of Yesterday's result. Obama broke the so called fire wall in Texas with dignity...
In Obama camp, there is no such time as firewall..Its just a matter of time... As for the clintons.. I have lost the little respect I had for them.. It is pathetic what they will do to get the nomination..And please, cud some1 tell me what kinda of experience she preaches about all the time.... As far as I know been a first lady, does not mean you a a co-president. I too have traveled to more than 100 countries, meet lots of people because of the position my Dad held in the 1990's but I am smart to know that my travel experiences doesn't grant me the experiences of my Dad..
So yes.. we want to know the experience she's talking about..

Obama is the best for the country and for the world, He is a uniter and that is what America needs now at this time that the whole world is against you.

Obama 08

Matt I don't even like the Colts.

Obama has nothing to lose at this point, and hillary has put all this out there. I didn't think she would go there with all the skeletons they have in their closet. They're standing there picking their teeth, saying 'hey, what took you so long, its dark in here'

Its about time for Obama to draw blood. She claims she's tested, and ready on day one....lets see if she can take the azzwhuppin before day one.

Okay WestCoast, I understand. You are saying Obama is qualified to be president, but just that you believe Clinton is more qualified.

Obama cannot win November against McCain when he could not win any of the big states! He did not win in NY,CA,NJ,TX,OH,FL,MI,and looks like he won't be able to win in PA so lets be real, does he have a real chance of winning comes november? the answer is a big NO! If he didn't win in those states with more voters agains't Clinton what makes anyone think he will have a chance against McCain? Come to terms and realize he has no chance of winning this at all.

Clinton Supporters,

Should the nominee that has the most pledged delegates and won the popular vote win the nomination? Should the superdelegates reverse the will of the people? Should Clinton be able to change the rules in the middle of the game and include Michigan and Florida delegates? Should there be a new contests in Michigan and Florida so that at least Obama's name is on the ballot in Michigan? Why should only big states count? Why do you want to disenfrachize voters in Missouri and Colorado? You are the one argueing that only big states matter, while in the same breath saying that Michigan and Florida votes should count so that they aren't disengranchized.

I'm glad I'm not on the side that has to anwer these questions or has to win this way.

Karine - Hillary didn't propose it, the interviewer did. Hillary proposed she not be the vice pres.,of course. She also waffled about the superdelegates - of course.

Obama can carry the country. Hillary brings back a lot of bad memories. too bad so many voters have forgotten all she did her last stay at the white house.

beat the Rezko drum....Chicago beat the drum for 2 yrs, there is nothing there, but keep beating...

release the tax returns hillary...

how about the donor list for the presidential library, can we discuss that out in the open?

dubai port deal? kazakhstan?

norman hsu is in jail, but peter paul ain't....

c'mon hillary, let's talk

since the party elders are the ones that screwed up, strip the superdelegates, and then hold the 'do over' so all who wanted to vote, can now do that.

Going against the will of the people? jayjay

The Democrats are not interested in the will of the people. If they were...they would have primaries instead of caucuses. They would not have taken away the voice of Fl and Mi.
They would not have a caucus system in Texas that takes delegates away from the primary winner.

Will of the people? Meh...nice try Obama-bot.

Jayjay no democrat, Hillary nor Obama, can win the White House without Fl or Mich and at this stage the republicans have a free pass to those two states. Even you can figure this out.

Ohio voted on who would be the Best President out of the two candidates.

Based on The candidates History, Job experience and how they did on their positions, Facts, Details given to the people about their platforms, ability to do the job. Who's Allegiance was only to United States Of America.

It is a serious Position to fill, which can not be taken lightly.

We were looking To choose a Presidential Candidate for the United States, with the best Qualities to perform that job.

Out of the two candidates we chose Just that.

Thank you

A lot of the crying and whining from the Obama camp for today seems to hinge on the premise that Obama has won more states than Clinton and has won eleven in a row. The argument is flawed.

The wins in touted "red states" were, for the most part, determined by caucuses, as in my state of Kansas. The Kansas caucuses were a sham. Kansas electoral votes will not go to a Democratic candidate as will be the case with many of the Obama "wins."

The caucus "wins" were little more than elaborate and publicized lessons in chicken herding and offer no realistic measure of voter preference except for those people attending the caucus.

However, the primary/caucus system used in Texas does offer a representative view of just how badly the caucus system is flawed. Specifically, compare the percentage differences from primary votes to caucus results.

Indications are that Senator Clinton won the primary in Texas. Of course, the overall primary vote count was vastly larger than the caucus count. Why? Real voters prefer a private ballot instead of the barnyard, caucus mentality that often turns organized elections into mayhem with intimidation.

Thus, the Obama, red state, caucus "wins" were nothing more than misrepresentations of actual voter preference and will not produce anything close to a win in November.

After reading all the comments that people have posted, it has become overwelmingly obvious that Americans are factually sure of what traits & obligations they want the new President to focus on. However, when it comes to BOTH candidiates NEITHER will clarify they're position on very important issue such as: HealthCare, S.S.I benefits, Raising childcare costs, failing Housing market, Lack of resources for our youth, mis-management of Sur-Plus funds etc. If ONE of the Democratic Candidiates were to step-up to the plate & explain to the voting public where they stand on any ONE issue; How they plan to resolve that problem,then the SUPER-DELEGATES vote would NOT even matter. Voting PEOPLE need to remember that the President does not only represent the country, they also represent what we want from our government to make LIFE a little more manageable for its citizens.

Politics are supposed to be confusing & combative but the end result must always benefit the citizens of this country. Use the knowledge @ hand to make an educated decision NOT an emotional one for your political party. That is what happened in the 2004 election. People voted for BUSH because they felt sorry for him due to all the bad publicity.

Now I fell sorry for those who have lost family in the war, lost their home, lost employment, for those who must choose between food for the week & medication for they're health but can only afford to purchase 1or the other. We as citizens of this great nation must begin to ask the important questions w/o fearing the answers that we recieve.

Senator OBAMA & CLINTON will need to stick there necks on the line & lay-out their plans for the next 4 years. Before I promise my vote to any candidiate, I want to be sure it will COUNT. Wouldn't YOU?

I think its fair enough to say that both sides feel strong about who they favor, and i have seen nastiness coming from both sides, so lets not claim here who is worst. So Obama supporters stop claiming that you are innocent people caught up in it.

It's no wonder we don't expect better morals and judgement from our presidents, when we don't even talk about the issues ourselves..just resort to name calling and whining. Everyone is acting like they are rooting for their favorite sports team when this will decide the leader of the free world for the next four years!. Where are the issues? Where is the honesty? The intellectual debates? I would like to know what the definition of experience is for all 3 of these candidates -kind of seems like they are all pretty close in that "arena".

Cindy Barba: What rock have you been hiding under? The only one destroying the Democratic Party has been HRC. She has used every underhanded tactic that she can pull out of her hat. As for smear tactics, she is the only one who has used smear tactics - against Obama. He has not wanted to lower himself to her level, but the time has come to remind America all about Hillary.
