75,000 Americans came to listen to Barack Obama today in Portland, Oregon.

That's the difference.

well the media is a very bias place and part of the he man women haters club Hillary clinton and her supporters have been trashed by this media. The media hate the Clinton's and d##m if I know why Hillary has fought every thing the msm has piled on to think that they would shut down her campagin like her supporters don't count there have been days that have been so unfair like her big win the media didn't have to spend two days on a pompas pretty boys endorsement Obama can't even win the GE all will see in NOV. If anything the media has much to answer in history for.

Ungrateful Clinton:

If it were not for the Media, Senator Clinton would have been knocked off the game long time ago. The media gave her life, period. ...and she should be grateful for all that.

Hillary, the freedom of the press to say that you'd better get out of the way now is very much part of a well functioning democracy. Don't blame journalists for not being that impressed by your performance and your 'solutions for America'. Blame yourself, for a change.

Home of the egg heads no wonder but the middle of the country is where he is trouble 270,000 voted last Tuesday for Hillary and he is suppose to be the front runner when he is crowned everyone turn off the tv and see if he can win without help like Hillary has had to. Any one who is not troubled by this election does not care about what is right in this world and waht is wrong with America.

Where was the coward press when the Iraq war started? The corporations that own then do whatever is best for then business wise.
CNN, MSNBC, NBC are a shame!

The MSM have been VERY kind to Hillary. They never touched on her role in Whitewater, for instance, which is pretty amazing considered the fact that she was running for President. Feminist Camille Paglia only last week wrote that she DOES think that Hillary was involved in Vince Foster's "suicide", and yes, all indicators tell us she must have been. And yet, noone in the MSM jumped on any of the MANY Clinton scandals, and they even only whispered Lewinksy once in every four months. Amazing, for Hillary was planning to enter the White House with an impeached President as husband... Instead, the MSM hes been ALL over Wright for instance. Hillary has NO reason to complain about the MSM. And she can't blame the MSM for not liking her as a human being. They simply don't like her, and probably for good reasons.

I was standing a few feet away from

Hillary Clinton has every right to feel as she does about the news media. Fox News doesn't love her, but they're about the only ones who have treated her fairly. The rest of the major networks began worshiping at Obama's altar several months ago, for reasons I've never really understood. I think Fox started feeling sorry for Hillary when the other networks could only criticize and ridicule her, as they parroted orders from the High Command (the DNC). In every interview, including one with Bill O'Reilly, Hillary comes across as a nice person. Her opponent does not.

If it hadn't been for her great press coverage, Hillary would have decided to bow out long ago. The media attention kept and keeps her going. All the facts and numbers are against her.

While I am not going to disparage or say anything negative about the unbelievable excitement created by Obama, because I think that is great, I also think she has every right to be annoyed with calls to drop out.

There is no nominee until someone hits the 'magic number'. So just stop telling her to get out.

None the less, kudos to Obama for generating that kind of excitement.

Yes, Shakespeare, Hillary HAS received press coverage... almost all of it negative! It strikes me as ironic that Fox News, which normally shreds Democrats, has treated Hillary Clinton in a "Fair and Balanced" manner, usually reserved for Republicans and Theocrats. But since most Democrats don't watch Fox News, all we have seen is the daily shredding of Hillary by the other networks.

Elisabeth Edwards is "not backing Hillary", Politico learns us today. At Hillary's official blog a continuous slander against her husband is going on; now America's sorest comapny of losers will start to agressively attack Elisabeth as well. Why hasn't the MSM focused on what's happening in Hillary blogs and forums out there? They are the most agressive, intolerant and smearful places on the Internet. Disgusting.

TRENT SAID ::: 75,000 Americans came to listen to Barack Obama today in Portland, Oregon.

So Hitler use to draw 500,000 people to see him.

Obama also need to learn history. Obama said Kennedy talked to the enemy. Kennedy was going to wipe CUBA off the face of the earth if they did not stop pointing MISSLES toward United States.

Joan, there is no question that Obama has "generated excitement". Throughout history, people with charisma have been able to generate enthusiasm. It's how they USE that power which is important. It's a sad day for America when we elect someone just on the basis of charisma. The Presidency is more complicated than that.

Maria... There is no question that some people use forums (blogs, message boards, or whatever) to post hateful messages. But neither side (Clinton or Obama) has a monopoly on this. The rest of us, who want to debate POLITICS, simply must ignore those who use these spaces for profanity and insults. Just because you may have a different opinion from mine doesn't make you an idiot. The anonymity of the Internet brings out the worst in some of us, unfortunately.

I was among the 75,000! One thing confused me: ALL the folks around me were WHITE!

Scary!

LOL!

maria, what someone posts in a blog is not news. Plus the same thing is happening to Obama. It's the internet.

A lot of the primaries were held in January and February when Obama was considered the "wonder boy" candidate. I, too, was taken up with him and voted for him in one of those primaries. Then came March and the Wright revelations. That caused voters to look at Obama in a new light, and more and more disturbing things came out about him. Had those primaries been held after March, Clinton would have won them and Obama would not be in the position he is in today. Clinton is the only candidate that can beat McCain. If Obama gets the nomination, you will be saying President McCain in January.

Here is a question do you think he will need Hillary's support to win the GE.

No, the kind and amount of Edwards slander I found on Hillary's blog is TYPICAL, I learned. And there is another Hillary forum where folks are totally engaged in embracing right wing and racist complot theories against Obama, too plain silly for words and very shocking and confusing. The official Obama community blog is VERY different from all that. It isn't heavily moderated as Hillary's blog is, so you'll find anti-Obama posts at his OFFICIAL site (nothing of that kind at Hillary's place, only jubilant support - and anti-Obama or Edwards agression). But I never read the kind and amount of slander against ANY Hillary endorser at the Obama blog that I found at Hillary's blog as directed against Edwards (all posts passed the strict moderation of that blog!! amazing). I think it's shocking and it tells me lot about MANY of Hillary's supporters. And again, it totally amazes me that no journalist has written a critical comparative study about the these two official blogs, for I truly think they tell the whole story. NO discussion of the issues on Hillary's blog, a LOT of that on Obama's blog etc. Strict moderation at Hillary's place, freedom of expression at Obama's... etc etc.

Here is a question do you think he will need Hillary's support to win the GE.

Bishop.

Yes!

Obama08

The largest rally in presidental primary history was in Portland today.

Obama continues to write American history. He's a once in a lifetime political phenomenon, which in this time of cynicism could NEVER be true for any "empty suit". After all these months of Obama exposure and Obama bashing more and more people are fired up by his phenomenal and unexpected rise as a Washington outsider in the heart of American politics. Some are still shocked or confused by it, for an excellent candidate as Hillary loses where he wins, but their moods will change. Here is good and honest man, as Hillary will tell us as well when her race is over. She knows it, therefore she "greatly admires" him, therefore she is "honored" to run in this same historical year at Obama's side - as his rival, yes, but as his friend as well.

Obama's is nn amazing and indeed historical achievement. And - the best is no doubt to come. America will be the world's bright shining star again, a deeply BELOVED country. Well, we need some of that, don't we?

Bishop here's my thoughts. There are some Hillary supporters that will not vote for Obama even with Hillary's help. Then there are Hillary supporters who will vote for a dem regardless. Blue states will go dem no matter what, so we're talking about swing states. I think at best she could convince them to at least stay home and not vote for McCain. But this is just my opinion.

Bishop, Obama will need Hillary Clinton's support, but it may not be enough. As we learn more about him, McCain looks better all the time (although I still dislike McCain's position on several issues). Barack Obama was a sprinter "out of the gate", but it's a muddy track, and he's stumbling. Sure, he has a following, even though no one is sure what "change" he's talking about. If he gets into office, he will discover it takes a lot more than an "empty suit" to be President. We could ALL pay the price for Obama's "learning experience".

A reality check. Those of us who are older (I am 69) must recognize our "dinosaur status", and Obama is the asteroid. Our time is passing; the future belongs to the young. My wife and I always knew America would become the USSA (adding the word Socialistic) at some time in the future; we just didn't think we'd live to see it. But we may, and cannot change what is about to happen to our country. Thanks, President Bush, for creating a backlash which will destroy the America in which us "old fogeys" grew up.

There is nothing negative on Hillary's site so I don't know what Maria is talking about or on any of her fourm's but you can go to the DNC and obama controls those blogs also I will have no problem going independent,and the kids at least I hope they are kids have been vile but I think they will learn like we did in sixty eight you don't always get what you want [use to be a song]

Bishop.

These are blogs. People say what they want, and not all are who they pretend to be.

Many, many posters just post to get a rise nothing else. It is hard to tell who is who.

There are some good posters from both sides, but it takes a lot of walking through the mud to find them.

Bishop, it still is a song, lol, a good one too. There are definately some people that are only here to cause trouble. I generally ignore those posts.

Yes, BO likes rally; the rally in pitt stadium; which is before he lost by 10 points and spending 11.2m in TV ads.
He likes to stand behind a podium with monologue.
He is afraid of questions except the stereoptyped ones with his prepared answers.
He is afraid of debates. He ducks debates
He is afraid of challenges: that is why he ducks campaigning in West Virginia as muc as he could; JFK would never have that. He ducks revotes.

BO fanatics make up an impressive legislative records for him and passes around the internet; They are fabrications and not true; FACTCHECK says don't believe it.

BO is a phone riding on high-flown poetic promises of change. Let's see where does he get his legislative record.

Todd Spivak of the Houston Press has documented how Obama accomplished next to nothing in his first six years in the Illinois legislature.

Then Emil Jones Jr. an African American with thirty years in the legislature made Obama a sponsor of 26 bills that became law. This is how BO portrays himself as a highly successful legislator.

This is just like giving him the ball at 1 yard line and carries him in on his back.

Has Obama repaid Jones? Yes. He has provided tens of millions in earmarks for Jones' district.

BO's abuses of earmarks:

Michelle Obama's salary at University of Chicago Hospitals when her husband won the US Senate seat was $121,000. Within weeks of his swearing in, her salary went to over $320,000. The following year Obama did an earmark request for $1 million for her employer.

In reality, BO has taken considerable money and support from all sorts of corporate and other special interests. Remember his Bittergate talking to billionaires in San Francisco! He has no record of being a reformer, whatsoever.

Bishop and Lisa... As long as we're quoting appropriate songs, remember the lyric by Badfinger: "There's no good revolution; it's just power changin' hands."

A true supporter of justice in this country will never support OBAMA, the tongue twister smearing from Bush's playbook.

Here is more of Badfinger's song (called "Perfection"):

"There is no real perfection
There'll be no perfect day
Just love is our connection
The truth in what we say

There's no good revolution
Just power changing hands
There is no straight solution
Except to understand"

It fits, doesn't it?

I should know that song by badfinger I should of put it is a song. I think I can vote for Mccain with no problem I don't mind a younger president but this guy is not what I want.

Wow Rhys, how did you come up with that one. Yes it does fit. Although I don't remember the tune, I'm sure I'd recognize it if I heard it.

Hillary Clinton is the stronger candidate, on paper. She's been elected to the Senate twice, with real Republican opponents. She MAY have been co-Vice President for 8 years.

Obama was "present" in the Illinois legislature for two terms. His election to the US Senate was a fluke, when the Republican candidate withdrew. His two years in the Senate have been notable for having the most liberal voting record, according to both liberal and conservative rating groups.

Clinton's problem is that 47% of all American voters voters consider her absolutely unqualified for high office, due to her enabling of Bill, and her personal scandals such as the cattle futures deal.

The Democrats may be choosing between their two WORST candidates, from a general election success standpoint.

to bad maria some of us are americans first and democrats second and have done our homework and understand what the combine is ,do you.do you also understand obamas repeated associations since his teenage years with people who despise this country,he has admitted this in his own words.you can call us hillary supporters any name you like it does not change the fact that somewhere between 12 to 25 percent of us who voted for hillary will NOT vote for obama,you do the math.

Oh please Jackson don't make it harder for those of us that might have to vote Mccain both our candidates are better than what we have had with the war to get rich.And she is absolutely qualified.

BARACK OBAMA DRAWS CROWD OF 75,000 IN OREGON Sunday. Reports say crowd size of a "City."

Help me Hillary fans, I can't seem to find ANY stories about Hillary on any of the major blogs today....

OBAMA = The democratic Nominee and next president!

Hillary = Irrelevant...

Bye bye Hillary and Bubba!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama for President 2008!

The Hillary supporters who are in great numbers are Women are really surprising me with their blogs. I love Women but I could not imagine that some of these blogs have such hatred in them. Please don't threaten that you will vote for McCain if Hillary loses which she has,because you will be out in the street with no shoes on if you vote for him.Picture what four more years of this miserable Republican administration has done to this country. So grow up and for your own salvation vote for whoever the Democrats come up with. I am a white senior voting Democratic. God Bless America.

75,000 went to see Obama, they had to because he sure as hell wasn't going to get off his ass and go see them.
Not quite as funny as THEY ALL APPLAUDED WHEN HE BLEW HIS NOSE! That pretty much says it all.

I almost put a link to an article about Hillary's campaign from FOX news on my facebook because it was the most accurate and fair poll i've read in a long time. Then I remembered the big anti-FOX news banner on there. It's hard going for a Hillary supporter, every single Murdoch paper in Australia is parroting on about Obama's "campaign" now, like they're cheering him on. (maybe Murdoch knows what we Hillblazers know-he'll get blown over) But as they say, when the going gets tough for a Hillary supporter, we get going.

We won't give in to Obama's (and the media, and the DNC's) spin.

This is pathetic. The love the media when the media when the press is working in their favor, but hates the media when the press swings against their interest.

I suspect the real reason they are upset is because they tried to shop around the Rev. Wright story and NO MEDIA OUTLET WOULD TOUCH IT AT FIRST. Well, it was her campaign, she should have put the story out there just like they did of him wearing the African attire!

They can't get mad when they themselves didn't do the work! Oh, and to run an ad with Tim Russert is TACKY. That man has never been nothing but a gentleman to her, EACH and everytime she has been on his show. And George S. and the rest of ABC news has ALWAYS been in her camp. It is very tasteless the way they are claiming they are victims.

Another thing, there has been bias I agree but that is due to the nature of Clinton's relation to the press and how poorly they treat members of the press. I don't know how she expects any sort of different treatment going forward playing this blame game. Blame, blame, blame...complain, complain, complain....its a endless cycle.

One reason Hillary need to drop out of the race
Hillary not for every American and gender
Hillary is a racist and do need to drop out of the race
Hillary we cannot and will not vote for you because you are a woman
The American people have more important issues, our concert, our family, this country
Hillary we are and was tried of hearing of you and Bill sex scandal in the White House and fraud, that your problems

We need our issues at the fore front, not yours

Hillary is a liar and not to be trusted
