"Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, an Obama supporter, said Clinton's challenge in getting her delegates to come on board with Obama "may be the biggest test of her leadership."

Really?! A New Concept of democracy from the Temple of Doom on top of Mile High - Your own inability to earn support is because your opponent's lack of leadership to persuade those who are against you to vote for you!

Pot meet kettle.

How long was this guy a senator??

Senator Obama is not qualified nor experienced enough to be President. We need a true statesman, not a rock and roll star or center of the circus ring clown.
Senator Obama is a socialist, not a moderate democrat.

How about Rudy's son, Andy, who got kicked off the Duke golf team for being an obnoxious twit, and is now suing the university? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Let's just hope Andy can find some skills in life so he doesn't need taxpayer welfare as a public servant his whole life like Rudy did.

"Senator Obama is a socialist" Really? I haven't heard Obama clamoring for a taxpayer bailout of Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac - privately owned businesses that pay their executives millions in bonuses in good times and bad, but are bailed out by socialist Republicans when they perform poorly by giving out bad loans.

I am sick of it.
McBush’s experience is exactly –a-La-Bush experience No more, no less. No, probably even worse: he is still mumbling about surge, when troops are scheduled to leave. So, let’s just McBush to stay for 100 years in Iraq, exactly as maverick – by himself without troops(cause they do not want him close by).
Also his military experience has several disgraceful dirty spots,so we do not need them either.
Thaks him for honesty – he does not know much about economy .
So what is left – under the table negotiating with aggressors different sort? (for getting paid.) I guess we do know the word, how to name it – “Bribes”, that is in case as he forgot it (as many other things he did forget).

As for the leadership – that is the funniest one: McBush is on the strict Rove’s leash, with Lieberman correcting, what is he saying and other stuff trying to shut his stupid mouth as much as possible.
Hey, GOP, that is your leader – paranoiac militarist on leash of Bush’s advisers? Congrat, that is exactly what you need. But not America. Get OUT.

How experienced is Giuliani on the national level? Certainly less than Obama.

Why is socialism all right when it's benefiting banks and defense industries, which couldn't survive without wars by the way, but the taxpayers money can't be used to benefit taxpayers? Republicans need to get an education on the terms they love to throw around without understanding them.

Wow. Talk about naive. The author writes a story that, for a moment, seems to be fairly balanced. However, that last paragraph made me laugh. The author has one piece of evidence that illustrates how republicans are nitpicking Obama's words. This is true. What is wrong with this is that they present the evidence, in such a way, as to imply that all the allegations against Obama aren't true.

Clever, but shallow. What I would give for a real journalist.

Giliani repeatedly lied to his family and now he is lying to you.

"Obama's use of the word "tiny" was misrepresented by Giuliani and is being misrepresented by the McCain campaign in a new television commercial, as ABC's Jake Tapper points out. Obama was simply making the point that the U.S. used to have relations with the former Soviet Union and that Iran is tiny compared to the Soviet Union."

Unlike Giuliani, Obama has the experience of being a loving husband and father, and of winning a party nomination. Giuliani despite having a huge lead in the polls and celebrity status, failed to win a single primary.

No one person would be qualified to be President if they had to meet the qualifications that I am assuming you think they should have and that you state Obama does not have. It is similar to saying that John McCain is qualified to be Commander & Chief and Obama is not, yet John McCain has never had any previous experience as a Commander & Chief. He served in the military and flew a plane and was a POW. But that is not Commander & Chief experience. And that experience of McCain’s does not guarantee that such a person could perform the job of Commander & Chief. In fact, someone who has never served in the military just might make a better Commander & Chief then a person who has had military experience. If that is not the case then why do we place this important decision making role in the hands of a civilian.

Frankly, I think many people have no clue of what they mean or what is important regarding a person who is or is not qualified to be President. If it were up to me I would give all candidates a series of psychological and management profile exams. To determine if they were nuts or rationale; if they had an aptitude for leadership; if they were able to get along with different kinds of people; if they were able to work with others as team players; if they were able to absorb and comprehend large amounts of data and material; if they had sensitivity to the needs of others; if they possessed empathy for the problems of others; if they were assertive without being too aggressive; if they were able to read and write and speak fluently; if they were able to solve problems using a proper series of deductions; if they knew how to use proper conflict resolution skills; if they were honest and trustworthy; if they knew how to identify and put to use the strengths of others and to help improve the deficiencies of others, etc.

These are many of the qualifications I would want a person running for President to have. These are the important skills and abilities regardless if they ever flew a plane or worked as a community organizer or were a POW or had attended a prestigious law school.

Hillary should have been President, let alone VP.

Where were y'all when Dubya was running on little experience, especially regarding foreign policy? Hmm?

I'm surprised Gulianni stopped saying 9/11 long enough to say anything but 9/11

"Tomorrow night you're going to see Obama come down from Olympus..."

Better that than watching McBush trying to crawl up from the Republican slime pit. Anybody for some warmed-over george bush? If so, vote for ol' lowroad mcbush!

“McCain is like a Grumpy Elephant with no vision and a flip flopping memory! There is a reason this Elephant is always attacking without a postive message. His trainers are Rove & Schmidt at the circus! We know what to expect at the McCain’s convention a Grumpy Elephant entwining his trunk with 2 Rogue elephants in Bush/Cheney with two cheering trainers in Rove & Schmidt who are trying to sell the American People a 3 rd George Bush Term.” RFK

"Senator Obama is a socialist" - well, so were the first Christians. I refer to Acts 4:32-35 where Luke says "The whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. ...for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold... and it was distributed to each as any had need." Actually, they were more Communist than Socialist. If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me. - A Christian for Obama.

Dems defend Obamas lack of experience, by saying Rudy has less,is that a joke? Rudy ran one of the largest cities in the world and cleaned up that dirty place. Would someone serious tell me what Obama has done other than community organizer and board member on the weathermens projects.

Oh ya Bush was the Gov of a state, so please tell me what city Obama ran or what state he ran or what company he ran or something, anything he has been completely in charge of. OH NOTHING, THATS WHAT I THOUGHT. I wont hold my breath.
