yawn!

Another billionaire for Obama.

The so-called boss was for Kerry and the other mega-liberals too.

The AFL-CIO endorsed Clinton.

GO BRUCE!!

OBAMA 08

Doug, Just curious....who do you have in your music collection?

Well come on board Bruce. We love you!And thanks for sorting out your mind!

This mans endorsement is actually exciting. I am not saying that people will run out and vote Obama now, but some of those men in a certain age groups who will always be a fan..(I also) will stop and notice, and think twice. The Boss pays close attention and feels deeply about policies and politics... He would not back just anyone, and he is down to earth with the rest of us when it comes to them. So yes, he has one up on HIllary.....

Didn't the so called "Boss" endorse John Kerry too? Just curious!!!!!

Not all unions have endorsed Clinton

Another misogynist bellies up behind Obama. The dream is dying.

JamesC

I think you have pathological problems. really, go see a psychiatrist.

Kevin,
Have you been smoking? Obama has taken absolutely NO lead... and that would soon be confirmed..

Bono, Sarandon, Penn, someones "Boss" NOT mine, and a whole host of other ultra liberal loonies! No surprise there .. have any real news??

DMK

Are you now telling us that PPD polls isn't a reputable poll? PPD says Obama has taken a 3 point lead. Read it for yourself. You are capable of reading, right?

DMK

Are you still here, or busy dissecting the poll?

That's a shocker .. keeping OR expanding his advantage with black voters?? Really? Wow!! Like the President of BET said .. "it's comical that 94% of black voters support a man they know nothing about"! Ha ha.

PS
He's a black man ..

I said what I wanted to say.. I don't care about ANY polls in general... So let's wait till April 22. Hillary's gonna win! And then you can take your poll and...

Yay, Bruce!

Go Obama!!!

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

Ok, so if we've ever listened to a Springsteen recording we are supposed to vote Obama? I could not believe the childish way Obama was acting the other day with the Annie Oakley speech and all the giggling and laughing because Hillary took a drink. I don't care what he thinks of Hillary. He is supposed to act in a dignified manner. Could you see him acting that way in an audience with the Queen of England, or the Pope? I guess the disrepect he shows the other candidates and his elders is supposed to endear him to the young "highly educated" people who support him. As for Springsteen, it's a good thing he typed his endorsement instead of singing it, otherwise no one would have been able to understand what he was saying.

Who cares about Bruce anymore??! He's so washed out! lol So I couldn't care less about his endorsement... And why is this a story I don't know...

DMK

Good point. I don't think Obama will win Pennsylvania. But i think the way Clinton played this "bitter" card has made the state tighter than it should be. She would have been best-served to let the press and republicans pound the issue for her. Now she looks desperate, negative, silly, and quite frankly, it feeds into the image that the Clintons are in this thing for the Clintons and will do ANYTHING to win. Not to mention they just pooped on white liberal elites like me. Now there are reports that her so-called "ordinary Pennsylvanians" in her ad are not all from Pennsylvania. What embarassment.

Kevin, do not worry, DKM and his very elitist beloved candidate: Hillary the Bosnian General cannot read polls, they speak Bosnian and donot understand English. The only one thing Hill understands is the her FAT CATS in the Lincoln bedroom, the 109 million + 800 000 from Urube in Colombia to ship American jobs to Bogota and Cartagena . God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

You're right, DMK. I support Obama, but think this endorsement is rubbish.

Obama is the best and brightest hope we have for unity in this horribly divided, but beloved country of ours. Deny it all you wish, but Senator Obama is going to be the next President of these United States. He will have my complete support in trying to undo at least a modicum of damage Bushco has perpetrated upon all of us.

Barack, I wish you well.

Re: Polls. Polls are good for one thing. Without them, pollsters would have to look for jobs. So how many people were interviewede in this poll? 500, or 1000? How many millions of registered voters in PA? The polls said Obama had NH by 10 points the night before the election. That worked out well for him, didn't it?

Let's face it. It was the kind of "mispeaking" that Hillary did that landed us in Iraq in the first place. Give Obama a break, he mispoke with a poor choice of words. On the otherhand, Hillary lied more than once and laughed in our faces doing it. I will vote for McCain before I vote for Hillary. But like Bruce I think Obama is sincere. He's got my vote.

DMK
- "Who cares about Bruce anymore??! He's so washed out!"
spoken like a true Hillary supporter...if he doesn't support Hillary he no longer matters to the party... as far as an artist supporting someone is concerned ...I think Bruce matters.

I guess Barbra is the only artist left that matters...haha. or the others who stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom with Bill and Hill.

Great endorsement for OBAMA. THIS IS ANOTHER MESSAGE FOR OF US WHO HAS NOT DECIDED YET. IT'S TIME TO GET INVOLVE. THANK YOU BOSS.

Tthe boss stands for the people. I like that he's made a decision.

Ha. As I recall he campaigned for Kerry, how did that work out? Poor disallusioned democrats, making the same mistakes over and over and over. It would be funny, if it wasn't so sad.

Hillary is being ousted by ultra-leftists. Reasonable democrats can still fight the scourge.

Fight back! VOTE NADER

Kevin -- The title of the poll you linked says "Clinton, Obama remain in statistical tie" so your claim here that Obama has taken a 3 point lead is false.

"Read it for yourself. You are capable of reading, right?"

...and for those who say polls don't matter...I agree to some extent but this was supposed to be a blow out...remember... Murtha saying she is going to beat him by 20 points...lol...

Do you see the more stallwart dems and intelligent people get to meet Obama up close like Mr. Springsteen (or much of the press) they realize ...the Clintons don't look so good anymore.

It is only those who are intimidated, riding on the memory of her as their first lady and the undeclared queen of the party and/or counting on the the old boys netwrok of politics that the Clintons have ruled for 15 years that stay with them...uh...her.

and LOM ...the title says statistical tie...the actual numbers say he stepped ahead...which personally I am pretty sure is not the case...what is funny is that here is a state with practically the entire political establishment and it's forces backing the old school candidate that they are afraid of pissing off... working to get her elected and in a few weeks she is now close enough in most polls for this poll to happen...

remember she needed a huge win... that is why Gov Rendell is suddenly found making more supportive statements about Obama... because he knew this was coming and now he has to start getting back on Obama's good side after all the trash talk for weeks.

I feel for all those people who were intimidated into supporting the Clintons and now have to try and go back to the candidate that they trashed.

I hope that my fellow North Carolinians have better sense than to vote for Obama. He has already widened the racial divide that exists in this state just by running. Anyone who thinks racism means whites against blacks in this country has never spent anytime here in NC. And yes, here in our small towns we do cling to our Religion and our Guns. We pray every night for God to keep us safe from the drug dealing gangs who have moved into the rural areas here because the law enforcement is not prepared to handle them, and we have our guns ready for the late night home invaders here who come into our homes to take everything we have. And then when we do jail them for their crimes, we get to listen to how racist we are because of the percentage of blacks we have in prison here, and how Brother Obama is going to change all that. For all of us, if Hillary isn't the niminee, we will vote for McCain. I would rather put up with four more years of Republican garbage than put up with what we will go through if Obama is elected.

The words of Bruce Springsteen in his endorsement of senator Obama are very moving. I am impressed with his insight concerning his social awareness.......

Thank you Bruce for your support of the senator, the people of America, and the people of the world.....

Melanie did you just say that "you do cling to your religion and guns"? Not sure I read that right.

So you are pissed that Obama said the same thing.

No you all aren't just angry that this candidate who fooled you for years into thinking they were the king and queen of the democratic party...no matter what they did putting themselves first. (Even putting themselves 1st and 2nd... ...can you imagine being the child of Hillary and Bill... yeah sure you're the most important thing in their lives... but put your life on hold ofr in the shadows or spend most of your time talking about BOTH of your parents... can you imagine that?)

The Bruce Springsteen - Sir Elton John contrast tells it all.

James C like all of the other stupid people who have jumped on the elitist comment have no idea what Obama was saying. Let me break it down for you.
Every 4 years the Republicans go into these small towns and spew garbage about Democratic liberals trying to take away their guns, stop school prayer and stop abortion. When plants close and their jobs are shipped overseas, some may even harbor ill feelings towards foreigners blaming them for taking their jobs by working for sub standard wages. Now, instead of voting for the Democrats who have their economic interest in mind, they instead vote Republican, convinced that they will protect their right to own a gun, pass legislation making school prayer mandatory while fighting to repeal Roe v Wade. After years of being screwed, these people will not vote for Democrats. Their vote is based on those hot button issues - not their own economic interest. The Republicans can't solve your financial problems but if you vote for their guy he won't pick a running mate who is Pro Choice. Now tell me, how do any of those things help you if you're unemployed or your house is being foreclosed? ANYBODY? ANYBODY?
Personally, I think people who vote this way are complete idiots! But that's just me. Another snobby stuck up African American female. I'm probably more of an elitist than the Obamas but I'll tell you something...I'm extremely bitter! See, 4 years ago at the age of 44 I voted for the first time ever. For years my family was very active in voting but I always felt that it was just a waste of time even though I was riddled with gilt. As an African American the right to vote was achieved with the blood of a lot of other people. Then in 2004, I voted for Al Gore and look what happened! The whole Florida incident left a bad taste in my mouth. However, there is no way I'm going to miss the opportunity to vote for Obama. Like many African Americans I use to love the Clintons. Now I see them both for who and what they really are. PATHETIC!
Obama08

I have absolutely NO intention of arguing with anyone... Someone said, "You know the most insulting and despicable thing about Obama supporters is that they mirror the eltitist arrogance and self righteous attitude of Obama" And I agree with that... Despite the fact that I do not support Obama, I do have SOME respect for him.. And I would have much more respect for him if he showed some humility... Sadly, elitists don't know what that is..

The Boss - I like his music. But we differ on politics.

Someone,

Yes, he endorsed Sen.Kerry in 2004.

roxanne - Whether you like it or not Barack Obama violated two elementary rules of political campaigning. A candidate should never play the role of a political scientist or sociologist analyzing a key electoral swing group from afar and should never dissect the motivations of less privileged people when talking to a group of privileged people.

All the hippie draft doging flag burning trash from the 60'sand70's are now on board you know the ones that rasied hell during Viet Nam. Oh and don't for get a list as long as your arm of lobbist usa today has named he is no different from any other pol and the people he put down in San Fran. will be the one who suffer.

"Do you feel better knowing that a President Obama is going to spend his time and energy going after his fellow Americans who have been protecting us from the Islamic terrorists who are intent on killing Americans"?

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes! Bush and his boys have committed numerous crimes against the Iraqi people, the Constitition, and American citizens. We were sold the lie that they were protecting and spreading American moral values, and all the while they were giving us a corporate, big business raping and lynching. Wake up America! You've been had, you've been took, you've been bamboozeled to the tune of compromised Constitutional rights, a screwded up economy , and dead and maimed soldiers in Iraqi as the corporate giants continue to get wealthier.

I like his songs but that does not change my mind.

DMK

So Obama says...he makes mistakes. He doesn't give in to some of this crap coming from the other side but admits on occasion to making mistakes. Hillary has done that once...twice and really never actually said the words "I made a mistake" ...and when she has... it has never been quickly... it has never been before a torrent of people showing her and after her own multiple denials...even in the face of overwhe,ming evidence in the opposite direction...

but you post on here... that OBAMA needs humility?

I think if that is the reason you are not voting for Obama ...you need to take a harder look at the situation at hand.

dl -- You obviously don't understand how to interpret a statistical poll.

If the numbers were 55/45 with a margin of error of 6 percentage points (55-6 and 45+6 overlap), it would still be a tie. Which means, there is no statistical evidence to conclude that either candidate is ahead, aka a statistical tie.

I didnt know that Bruce is prone to hallucinations too..maybe high on something, when he wrote this?. one more who is subverting the truth and attempting to shove down to us incompetent Obama. No more the Boss for me, I'm gonna go trash his records.

Rendell said she needed a huge win. And if she doesn't get it in PA? Then what? Oh yeah, the race goes on. Why, because Obama can't close the deal. He is unelectable otherwise he would have this thing clinched by now, especially since he is up in pledged delegates, states won and popular vote.

Obama represents the future of America.

Hillary is dishonest (liar)and paid off by lobbyists. Want more of George Bush? Vote for Hillary.

Want to restore America to its former greatness? Vote for Barack.

I like McCain, I like Hillary, I like Obama too. But of the three of them I like Obama the most. He's the youngest and I think he will represent us well in the world. I like Springsteen's recent albums very much too. He's The Boss!

EAST COAST

Hillary's lists of associations and scandals and questionable ethics...is A LOT longer than the one you posted.

People in office meet and work with lots of bad people ... but if you are going to judge a candidate on their relationships and scandals... there is nobody (name me one politician) that has as many scandals, lawsuits, questions, investigations, disbarrments, caught lying, used the Lincoln bedroom, questions about finanical transactions associated withpardons and bills passing and favors...

than the Clintons...

It was a big part of the reason Bush got elected in the first place.

LOM

Obama doesn't have it clinched because he is fighting against people like you and the rest who fought for the Clintons for years and can't let go of their own protectionism of "THEIR" candidate.

I say it all the time... Hillary Clinton if you look at her as not a Clinton or not like Rosalind Carter or Nancy Reagan or barabera Bush or Laura Bush or Pat Nixon or Lady Bird Johnson... ...living in the White House and around the President yes... so was his personal assistants...but if they were Senators... you would not be voting for them if they had the rest of Sen Clintons resume.

He can't close the deal because many dems have brainwashed themselves to just attack anyone who says that some body is better than the Clintons.

They are far from the bar...heaven help us if they were.

David Carville - Interesting. With oil hitting $113 a barrel today I'd be interested in how Obama will fix this problem. Especially with Obama pulling out of Iraq and the mess that's going to sweep through the middle east then if think gas is expensive today now you ain't seen nothing yet. High energy equals low dollar and high cost of living and less jobs. That should make America great again.

Obama represents the future of America.

????
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With all the celebrities, billionaires support him.

What these billionaires want from him?

I remember in 2004 he backed Kerry also. How did that work out?

I hope Clinton does manage to game the system and win the nomination. Not only will she squander the Democrats' chance to take back the White House but she'll probably lose Democrats the control of Congress, too. Why? Because American voters, including millions of nominal Democrats who will vote for McCain if Clinton loses the nomination, have STILL not learned the one very tough lesson of American politics: Republicans are a catastrophe for the nation and the vast majority of its citizens. They bring war, economic chaos, class warfare, poverty, homelessness and despair whenever they hold the rein of power. Either Clinton supporters are not paying attention or they are followers of what appears to be Clinton's driving mantra: Hillary or nobody. Except that if Clinton wins the nomination, it won't be nobody who wins in the fall. It will be McCain and the Republican party.

Its comical some people post about Obama being clean and not taking money from the lobbies, the fact is he is neck to neck if not ahead of Clinton in terms of funds and fund raisers from lobbies/PACs.

Can Obama do anything wrong? Its just amazing anytime anything comes up bad about him, either it is brushed aside with silly excuses from media and supporters or with a cleverly articulated coverup speech, please save us from them even if they are his own words for a change, you can find better lines and speeches in hollywood movies..this whole adulation for him is just ridiculous.

If not Clinton, I will take an old seasoned McCain as a president to a faltering incompetent Obama.

Dogsoldier

You might as well take a very long nap. Obama will never come with a solution to a real problem. Never!

And Obama's gonna say this is cool!!. to add to your comment; East Coast.

Dogsoldier Just a little personal side note...
Green jobs...green jobs ...green jobs...
and getting our reputation back.
that is one or two of the keys to our future...and I have to say I like the fact that all three candidates are talking about that.

We should be way ahead on green...we should have started that when Gore was calling for it in front of the congress when he was VP. Just think where we would have been now if a few people hadn't made that decision in Florida... makes you kinda angry huh?

Makes me feel pretty good about our future... ..or at least not as bad.

windrider - Democrats control congress and the senate so why haven't we seen any democrat improvements yet? Democrats were swept into office to stop the war remember? What happened to that promise?

dl

Sounds like you're green with envy about someone.

Bruce: I find this shocking that you do not keep up on such a important topic... Hillary has had the most Black population since day one. Something like 55%. Bill and Hillary carry those votes. I think you should get your facts straight... I might scare you.

dl -- Interesting assessment. I find it most interesting that you would claim he can't clinch the nomination so far because he is "fighting against people like you."

Really? For a guy who is supposed to be the great uniter, he needs people like me to win the nomination and G-d forbid, the general election.

Is he fighting against people like me who want what's best for our families?

Is he fighting against people like me who commute into work everyday to earn good wages so that I can pay for health care, the rising costs of fuel, mortgage, education, etc.?

Is he fighting against people like me who as a woman, wants equitable pay in the workplace?

Is he fighting against people like me who wants to bring our troops home and focus our nation's resources on lifting up the middle class?

Is he fighting against people like me who cares about the environment and wants to ensure that the legacy my generation leaves behind is better for our future generations?

He can't clinch this nomination because he hasn't convinced about 25% of the electorate that he is the better candidate to address the issues we care about.

At least Clinton has people like me protecting her candidacy. Obama has people like me as well, but he also has the MSM behind him. This would have been over long ago for him otherwise.

There a good article on USA today's website entitled "Obama tied to lobbyists, but boasts of not taking money". The connection with his fellow lawyers is most interesting.

LOM:

YOU miss the point, I think. A Tie is as good as a win for Senator Obama!

Hill needs a 20% win to even think about the "possibility" of stealing the nomination. And she'd have to have 20% wins in all of the remaining pimaries to actually have a chance at getting nominated without "stealing" it.

Obama 2008 -- Yes, WE CAN!!!

dl - Green jobs? The answer? My friend, there's a big old world out there where other nations have already gone this route and not much has happened at all. Other nations have discovered it is fossil fuels that power the planet and will for decades and decades to come which translates into costs world wide. Perhaps one half of all products in our lives are derivatives of petroleum products. That's not gonna change anytime soon. To effect even one percent of a nation the size of America will take thirty years to build the infrastructure of sufficient capacity to matter. You know that.

Not only Bruce, but three more Pennsylvanian newspapers endorsed Barack Obama today.

And he would be "out of touch" with the poeple in PA?

Come on. Think twice.

Jackt51 - You do know a poll is not a vote, correct? How was the poll conducted? What groups were surveyed? What regions? How many blacks in poll? What methods were used? Telephone? Computer generated calling? Did you check?

Jack51 -- I didn't miss the point. There are folks here who were claiming Obama was ahead according to that poll. I was addressing that point. Nice spin though. Another cue from the Obama playbook: what I really meant...

And if you guys knew how to read those polls, in that same link it said that last week Clinton was ahead 46/43 and two weeks ago, Obama was ahead 45/43, both statistical ties as well.

So, instead of touting this tie this week as a good win for Obama, you should have been cheering for the past two weeks as well since the results were the same.

Again, how can she steal a nomination that has rightfully belonged to NO ONE!? How does Obama win the nomination? I love how you all like to talk about the legitimacy of this contest, but always conveniently leave out MI and FL. Good luck with that argument.

Jackt51,
So in your eyes if Hillary wins the nomination she has stolen it, because in your eyes your ELITE LIMOUSINE LIBERAL candidate OBAMA already owns the nomination, right? I used to think this was a Democratic process until I started dealing with the likes of the Obama Zombies.
========================================
Obama--will say or do anything to keep the working class people down.

Dogsoldier

The democratic party will soon belong to the far left. I'm afraid you'll either have to vote for Obama or McCain. Personally, I think you'd do better voting for Nader. He will be the only candidate standing who is for real change!

Dogsoldier if America gets to a renewable energy source (i.e. fuel cell advances with new technology ...turning water and sun into hydrogen and then using it and turning it back into water...which is right there... more efficient solar energy technology...etc)

We have the facilities, the schools ...the resources to make that happen...
other nations do not have what America has on that front...but they had some will.

If one of these companies breaks that fuel cell science and is able to create that ( and their are companies doing this... and making serious advancements in the past year especially) think what it would do to our economy if suddenly just cars, homes and airplanes could be powered without petroleum.

These are not fantasy creations these are technologies that exist and the questions of using that technolgy is in it's ustainabilty past a lab and/or shrinking the size of the technology doing it.

I absolutely do not think we are 30 years away from that. and if one of these other countries gets to it first... good for them but with those discoveries come a windfall of industry and export.

WEST COAST I THINK YOU ARE BEING FOOLED BY HILL
.
she IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT DOES NOT SEE HOW BAD THINGS ARE FOR SMALL TOWN AMERICA . SHE REFUSES TO SEE THAT WE MAYBE BITTER OR BEING LEFT OUT!! HE%%
IN THE SMALL TOWN WHERE BILL WAS ASKING THEM TO DONATE MONEY TO HILL !!THEY HAD TO LAY OFF CITY WORKERS BECAUSE AS A TOWN THEY WERE STRUGGLING. THEY HAVE 759 HOMES WAITING TO BE AUCTIONED OFF FOR FORECLOSURE . THE CITY COUNCIL OF THAT TOWN ASKED THE SHERIFF TO DELAY THE AUCTION. CAN SHE KNOW UNDERSTAND???NAH ELITES JUST DO NOT GET IT.

Turku Wren
Nader? Did the conversation just representationally stop when you said that.
As much as I wonder about people who are still stuck in their stance with hillary and Mccain... anybody who jumps in and says Nader... I think... Now here is somebody who I have absolutely no understanding of how his brain works...lol.

No offense just not sure what a vote for Nader does besides waste the energy you use going to the polls on election day.

Someone tell the Boss that NJ went for Clinton. Also Bruce's birth state of CA.

dl - Yes, we're thirty years or more away. For instance, the power grid alone is and remains the culprit for the recent power failures about 16 months ago. Did it get upgraded since then? No! Why? No one is willing to throw out the big bucks to fix the problems and we're just one power line moment from another disaster. Do you have any idea of the costs involved in the power grid alone? That's just one single example of the magnitude of the problem. I know Clinton says green power as well, but if you know anything about energy usage at all, and I work in the field with big oil, you soon develop a keen awareness of the magnitude of the needs of a nation this size. It's all touch and go on the best of days. And that is no joke, believe me.

WEST COAST
I WAS WRONG THE STORY ABOUT THE 759 HOMES AND THE LAYOFF WAS IN THE WAHINGTONPOST
IM SORRY FOR THE MIS INFORMATION OF WHERE THE STORY LOCALE

dl

If the choice for Hillary voters come down to McCain, Obama or Nader, I'm sure Nader will get his share. Nader's anti-corruption represents a good way for voters to make their real feelings heard. Much better than voting for socialists.

Springsteen backed Kerry along with almost half of America. I believe his best song title that describes the way most folks feel about Obama is Born to Run. While Hillary portrays a campaign based on a sense of entitlement based on dynastic ping pong between the Bushes and the Clintons Obama brings people together and shows that as a country we have an entitlement to sense in our leaders and their concerns for all of us.

bhciapol - Obama born to run? I thought Obama was born to bowl.

Really Lauren?

Just on her website alone, there are numerous press releases related to the foreclosure crisis. Are you even interested in the truth or just like to spin lies?

8/31 Statement by Hillary Clinton On President Bush’s Belated Response to the Foreclosure Crisis

August 31, 2007
Obama: Bush Proposal on Lending Does Not Go Far Enough

"Hillary Voted FOR THE WAR"

So did Kerry, Rockefeller, Daschel and Dodd. They too must have poor judgment...and they all have endorsed Obama.
