Have you noticed a connection between Hillary doing well in a state and both her and Obama not campaigning there?
The more people see of Obama, the more they like him; the more people see of Hillary the less they like her.
Before the primaries started Hillary was WAY ahead in all the polls. The more time voters have to meet the candidates, the more they swing away from her.
Iowa got the most attention; Hillary came in third. Not second, THIRD.
NH had only a short time for the candidates to spend after Iowa, Hillary won. Michigan and Florida didn’t see the candidates at all; Hillary won by wide margins.
SC and Nevada about two weeks with SC later than Nevada and more time spent in SC by Obama (Clintons were mostly just Bill); Obama crushed Hillary.
Nevada is the only one that doesn’t fully fit the pattern; Hillary won a thin victory in numbers, but Obama edged her in delegates. Obama had the support of the culinary union, but just over a month before the caucus Hillary had a 29 point lead in the polls so that is still a pretty amazing job of closing the gap by Obama.
Now Super tuesday where the candidates get spread pretty thin. My guess is advantage to Hillary.

Obama, I live in Kansas, and you are no Kansan! The same goes for Sebelius, she comes from Ohio

Two times this month, today and Jan 22, 2007, Bush and the Republican Financial wizards have cut the Interest Rate. Five times since Sept 18, 2007 the Interest Rate has been cut. Manipulating the numbers is what Republicans do best. Way to go Bush and Republicans. Destroying the American Economy is what you do best.

On the one hand, Obama has more than just mid-western values — he grew up in Hawaii and in Asia — he is the quinessential candidate of sophistication with an inate ability to think outside the box. This is a great attribute for dealing with the diverse peoples of the world in a very positive, peace-invoking fashion — he will achieve our goals of Americans in the process. On the other had, as a conservative democrat, I am so alienated by the rather desperate and “childish” behaviour of the Clintons’ in their sleezy, distorted attempts to discredit Obama that I am not likely to vote for her even as dog catcher if she should win the nomination — unless of course Obama is on the ticket. Otherwise, I will vote my conscience on the one issue which concerns me — abortion, I hate to say — Republican.

I agree with ‘Demo Rules’ that Hillary voted for the Iraq War, never apologized like John Edwards did and didn’t champion bringing the troops home until she started running.
Obama was smart enough to see the Iraq Resolution as a mistake right from the start just like he saw that NAFTA was a bad deal for the U.S. Bill and Hill championed that debacle, they actually pushed it through Congress despite the pleas of labor unions and experts that it was going to hurt our work force.
Obama seems to be looking out for all Americans, not just the ones in corporate America. Listen to him on youtube in his victory speech for South Carolina. It will make you feel hopeful for our country again. Then go to his website and read under ‘issues’ his long term plans. They are wonderful, workable and will help middle-and lower income people alike. (Just as one example he wants seniors who make less than $50,000 to not pay any income tax. This would be a godsend for so many on their fixed incomes. The average senior would save $1800 a year.) He is the uniter this country needs now.

Clinton is behind on delegates. The “promised” delegates mean nothing untill she actually has them. She will be activly seeking the delegates from Edwards. Obama is the one with momentum right now. The Clintons have made themselves look very bad in the past 2 weeks and the american people are tired of this kind of redrick. Her stunt last night in Florida was actually embarrassing. She looked like a fool. She cannot promise to seat them votes! If she had not had the largest amount of votes, she would be fighting the hardest go with prior agreements. Dirty, dirty Clintons!

The issue around the watercooler is now Edwards. My guess is Obama although Clintons will beg him not to…Edwards does not have to endore anyone. He has 26 delegates so at the end of the day , it is not a huge amount. Actually the endorsement would mean more than the delegates at this point.

Clinton won in Florida huh? What exactly did she win? NOTHING! No delegates were awarded! This woman needed momentum going into super Tuesday and this was her only choice. If she had another choice she would have done it! This makes her look DESPERATE! All 3 candidate’s understood that no delegates would be handed out for Michigan and Florida. Her rally for “victory” the minute the poll’s closed in Florida made her look pathetic. Look at me I won NOTHING! Please!

Many voters will be “hoodwinked” by the first-term senator from Illinois, whose ambition forced him to think about seeking the presidency after only 1 darn year in the U.S. Senate.
He’s fond of quoting John F. Kennedy, but JFK spent 14 years in Congress before becoming president.
‘Nuf said.
