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!
