Clinton Hauls in $35 Mill; Obama Camp Says They’ll Do Better

KEY QUESTION: How much onhand debt does the campaign have. On january reports the campaign was about $9M in debt, indicating alot of loans had been taken out on General election funds. While it’s great to see her finally trying the Obama Method, the fact is this month again Obama is likely beating her 2-1 (if it’s less than 48M i’ll be shocked) again proving he’s a better manager of his campaign and inspiration for the people in his party; a key component of any election victory.

With 24 million being poured in, she can get her $5 million back that she loaned to her own campaign with interest. It’s win win!
So don’t feel too bad about losing the nomination. Hill.

Honesty-It’s from peole like me. I am a Clinton supporter who will never vote for Obama.

Go vote for John W. McMore-war-Bush!!! If Clinton raised 24 million Obama raised 60 million.. She has been out raised and out classed by Obama..

Clinton supporters who wouldn’t vote Obama and Obama voters who wouldn’t vote Clinton need to go ahead and jump on the McCain train. I’m sick to death of listening to personality cultists whining about not getting their way. If Democratic values and the make-up of the Supereme Court are less important to you than the career of some politician you don’t even know, you’re hardly what I’d consider a ‘Democrat.’

Im one on MILLIONS who have donated to Hillary!! I will keep doing so until she wins!!! GO HILLARY!!!

I also have been donating and will keep on donating.Go Hillary

Excuse me, I meant she would be outraising Obama, not outdonating him.

Given her reliance on wealthy high roller donors and that she is seeking now what Obama knew to seek all along (those priceless million ordinary citizen donors giving $5 who can be tapped again and again) I wonder how much of it is general election only funds, especially given her poor track record of playing by campaign finance rules.

I suspect the Clinton camp has been touting a little exaggerated figure for weeks now, with regard to on-line spending.
While the front guys say its been a million a day, the Clinton fundraisers who handle incoming contributions have been referenced telling media outlets they’re concerned, because they only see about half of Obama’s million/day fundraising.
Further indication there could be some truth stretching here: we all acknowledge that March 4 is seen inside the Clinton campaign as a fight for survival, right? Check out ad buys thus far in the two big states. Obama is outspending her. If she needs these states, and has the money, why not match Obama’s ad buys?

Does this mean she’s going to pay back the people she’s stiffed?
OR does her campaign want a list for the best hotels and eateries in Houston?

Obama supporter, please resist yourself from posting anything negative about Clinton. She is a great candidate compared to Bush and McCain. Obama himself said that during Cleveland debate. Of Course, Obama is the best. But he will need all the support from Clinton camp to beat McCain (aka Bush). If you see any nagative campaigning against Obama, simply state the fact and move on. Thanks and yes we can.

Hilary Clinton has NOT LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE!
Hilary Clinton is deluding herself that amassing information is the same as amassing LEADERSHIP SKILLS!
A nation needs a LEADER; because any computer today can amass information.
Hilary can’t even run an efficient and successful national campaign.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, has been a Community Organizer, of the very people who are going to vote for him!
Also, just take a look at the Obama $250m national campaign, which is organized in a year to run intelligently, efficiently and successfully?
Senator Obama’s national campaign is HISTORIC in so many ways!
Now, that’s demonstration of LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE!

SE Croft, I’m definitely not a wealthy person, I’m unemployed, and I donated what I could to Hillary’s campaign. There goes your claim right out the window.

Got to comment on something I just read.Does anyone remember Clinton saying” I am NOT running as a woman”I am running because I think I can do some good for this country????She is now talking to the women in Ohio that a woman president giving a womans view and a woman doing all the things a man can do. Note: the word woman and how many times it is used.She is a liar I have said this fron the start but she nevers goes back on her word ask her she will tell you>>>>>

Sit tight – Hillary will be a come back on March 4. OH – IO for HILL – ARY!!! After all Hillary has the solutions & experience to get the economy back to the people, while keeping America safe. She’ll get the kids to college & Healthcare for all ! Hillary is the real Deal. She’s not cracked up like Obama.

His father was serving his country out of the usa but he was born on base makes him usa cit.

All in favor of New Yorker’s comments that Obama is the one true leader in this contest please signify by voting PRESENT! LOL.

I have donated as well. Hillary is the candidate most ready for the job of being President.

Just goes to prove that there are a lot of idiots with money to burn, at least you can write off the loss.

I smell a rat. $35 M? Did the money, if true, come from Dubai?

It is another of Hillary’s lies. About her loan, that was a ploy to solicit funds. She just gave a check and got it back the next day. It never went thru the bank.

There is no rat.
Obama isn’t the only candidate doing well with small donations.

Jeanne in Dallas,
Hello , dont you think the GOP has thier dope waiting for Hillary. They want her as the candidiate, they can defeat her, the polls show it. A vote for hillary is avote for McBush.
NO MORE BUSH/CLINTON
or McBUSH

PERSONALITY CULTISTS? All those who are, stay on this blog. Why are you on it klaus? Do you believe in dissent for everyone, or just yourself? I will discuss all the actions about this campaign, pro and con. If any of us find that Nader, or John McCain, or Hillary is the candidate with the best knowledge and experience, we may just vote for that candidate. For me, it won’t be Obama.

Pray tell! What is a Democrat?

BO’s camp represent the elitest, wealthy college kids and their parents right? Naturally they have more money….The fact that the Working Class, Latinos, Women and other Clinton supporters are able to raise $35mil, is truly something. So all the BO’S can continue with their tone of superiority, while they have their messiah spew empty rhetoric that pretends to care about US, the people. You know the “Un-educated”, “Lunch Bucket” “Females who feel sorry for Hillary” “Racist” Democrats you all have been insulting for months. Yeah, we really feel the “Hope” from BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. Ashamed of your own people, religion and culture and I am supposed to believe you’ll stick up for us? PALeeeeeeese!

When I hire someone to do a job, I look for the best qualified and says look at my record. Not the smoothest talker. So having said that, I announce that I will vote for Hillary NOT the Teflon Obomb. Didn’t your moma tell you to never trust anyone who says “Trust Me!” Trust what I am saying, not what I have done.

You know if you could harness your anger and use it for something constructive you might do some good… I myself try to look at both points of view- I am a Obama supporter, in my thirties, far from wealthy raising 2 kids of my own. I contributed to his fund but if it happens that Clinton wins then I will contribute to hers. I suggest taking a deep breath and calming down a little – decisions and comments made in anger never turn out well.

All you folks who keep supporting Hillary: thanks for another vote for George Bush.
The simple reality is that you are playing right into the trap the Republicans have set for you. Even George Bush knows that McCain won’t be able to beat Obama–that’s why he came out today with his fear-mongering attack against Obama. The Republicans desperately want to run against Clinton because they know they will win.
Now, if you dislike Obama so much that you want the Republicans to be in the WH for the next four years, then change your party affiliation and admit that you have the same sensibilities as the hate mongerers in the ‘other’ party.
If you want sanity to be restored and Democratic values to be brought back into the forefront of our American consciousness, then swallow hard, get over your hatred, and do the right thing.
You’ll feel better for it afterwards.

All this fundraising re-affirms is that a fool and his money…

I’m a Hillary supporter and would never and I mean never vote for Obama. It has nothing to do with Hillary loosing it has to do with Obama being qualified for American Idol but not for president. John McCain would make a better president.

Ditto to what ‘jas’ said.

pespiloverforever
Most African Americans feel the same way about Hillary, so I guess it’s President McCain.

I totally agree with most Hillary’s supporters. She is ready on day one. But, just not for the position as a president. She is totally ready to play a supporting role on day one.
Presidents are not secretaries. They lead secretaries.
Presidents are not managers. They lead managers.
Presidents are not strategists. They lead strategists.
Presidents are political leaders who motivate people.
Presidents are visionaries.
Hillary can be a good secretary. But, we need a learder. She is a fighter. But we need a motivator. She works hard. But her vision does not resonated with people.
She needs to learn how to excite people. She needs to stop trying to be the smartest girl in the class, which, by the way, could very well be true. But she needs to know there are always people who might have slightly better idea just by chance.

Yeah for you Doug – come on people, why can’t you see what is right in front of your nose – read Dougs comment again! I guess all of these highly educated young people aren’t so smart after all huh? I thought the economy was number one on our minds, I know it is on mine, and it should be on the young peoples too – after all one of these days they are going to be looking for jobs – lets hope there are some to be had for all their education, especially if Obama wins. I don’t understand the little people, and the middle class – not to mention the hispanics (so much for loyalty I guess) – as Obama is known to favor raising taxes, and obviously relates to the higher income population. So whats wrong with the rest of the voters – look at what Hillary has done for us and what I hope everyone in Texas and Ohio will stop and remember before voting. Or maybe they don’t mind being told in advance who to vote for…. I’m for Hillary and I was one of those who helped her raise that 34 million. Every time I watch the news and read these political columns I see how little Obama really knows about in which direction this country should be going.

Hillary doesn’t have any experience. She says she does OVER and OVER and OVER but she never explains what her leadership experience was. I know she’s failed at things. But what political things has she accomplished, or in the case of the vote to go to war, gotten right?
Hillary supporters have no business saying they will not vote for Obama. He hasn’t waged a snippy, negative, race and gender baiting campaign. The great sin that Hillary supporters accuse Barack of is that he ran for president at all, usurping what they view as her turn. That’s not a reason to be mad at anyone but yourselves.
The party is the Democratic Party. Not the Clintoncratic Party.

American Leadership Council-Jake Tapper knows all about this-why isn’t he reporting it. This a a very low blow for Hillary because she’s so jealous.

OPENMINDED; Good for you. You do sound like a decent person. This is not anger, it’s a stand against injustice. I have been a volunteer in public service, working to help those less fortunate because it is what I was taught. I am now a teacher. What I do know and understand is the fact that BO is pushed by a Republican owned media and therefore he does not represent a just run for office. He has had far more advantages money wise, absence of scrutiny and campaign promotion by the press. Therefore, the injustice, being clear; I will choose my candidate as I see fit, considering that half of us have chosen Hillary, we should not be dismissed over the other half. The other half consisting of Independents/Republicans who voted in OUR primaries…..

Jusat look up American Leadership Council to see where Hillary is getting the money. It’s coming from rich lobbiests and their corporate handlers!

My vitriol? For pointing out the Republicans fear running against Obama more than Clinton? How is that vitriol? It is fact.
My vitriol? For questioning how any democrat who actually believes in the democratic principles could even consider voting for the continuation of the republican policies that have driven this country to its knees simply because Hillary Clinton is not the candidate?
And, yeah, I don’t think the animosity toward Obama has anything to do with his experience, because he has enough experience to run the BEST presidential campaign we have seen in a long time. That shows managerial skill, people skills, logistics skills, financial skills, judgment, etc., everything you need in a president. Compare that to the absolutely mismanaged campaign of Mrs. Clinton and tell me again who has relevant experience. But you won’t, because if you scratch just below the surface of your argument, this isn’t about who has the most experience at all.

This election really is turning into an American Idol contest. Substitute dollars for phone calls and you have the same show. It kind of shows the intelligence of the audiance.

Imahillady,
Now the press is secretly tweaking polls in order to show Barack ahead? All of the press? In agreement? As part of the largest conspiracy ever?
The word you’re looking for is “delusional.” Look it up.
If Hillary supporters want to see every issue that Hillary cares about go down in flames, they should keep dragging this thing out and cause a floor fight or threaten to vote for her in the general as a “write-in.” She can’t win in pledged delegates, and if you think it will look like anything other than reversing the will of the people to nominate her over Barack via Superdelegates in Denver, you’re delusional. It’ll make 1968 Chicago look like Hands Across America.
You want to see her agenda pressed? Get a Democrat elected and keep the party together. She could well be majority leader in 2009 or 2011.
The only cult of personality in this campaign are the Hillary supporters who are unjustifiably angry that her turn to be the candidate was usurped. The last candidates to run on that platform? Dole and Mondale. We all see how well that went.

This is rather laughable (the money race) & reminds me of another SNL skit from years ago with 2 latino celebrities squaring off in song about which one has more fan mail. One ton of fan mail, that’s what I get I get one ton of fan mail… Remember???

Imahillady, just type in (American Leadership Council) if you don’t believe me. It was just formed last week!

I wouldn’t be surprise if most of the money Clinton claims for the month is coming from her own bank account just to make everyone believe that donors still believe in her – who would be so stupid as to support a campaign that is so badly managed.

To whoever said half the Democrats support Hillary, consider this from the American Research group:
In our final survey conducted February 17 and 18, 43% of likely Democratic primary voters said that Clinton was the only candidate they would vote for in the primary or that they preferred her over the other candidates, and 46% said that Obama was the only candidate they would vote for in the primary or that they preferred him over the other candidates. A total of 27% of likely Democratic primary voters said in this survey that they would never vote for Clinton and 15% said they would never vote for Obama.
I suspect that final line says a lot about which group of folks are the more open-minded.

Sorry that is supposed to be “Amercan Leadership Project”

I am a Hillary supporter and have donated as much as I can afford. If she doesn’t make it as the nominee, I will be more comfortable voting for McCain than for Obama. He is too green around the ears, smooth as silk and like Reagan, nothing sticks to him, (remember the Teflon President?)
I hope the press wakes up and begin to report more fairly on Hillary, they have been sooooooo unfair. SHAME ON THEM!!!!

That 35M has come from people like myself. I have donated to her on several occasions. She is the best candidate for the job and I back her 100%.

Larry,
Way to trivialize and deflect the truth, but yes, the fact that Barack Obama went from double-digits behind the entitled Hillary Clinton and now outpulls her in almost all venues does qualify as experience, because it is a visual and auditory reflection of a successfully managed campaign. The fact that he has been able to make up a huge deficit in money and media coverage to now lead in most polls is a tribute to strategic planning and excellent judgment.
Just remember, when Obama was doing grass root organizing, Hillary wasn’t even planning a campaign beyond Super Tuesday. What does that say about her judgment and planning ability? And then, when she finds herself behind, she lets lose her husband and plays the gender card and becomes alternately shrill, angry, motherly, strident. Not only can she not run her campaign, she can’t even manager her own emotions.

More actual data from American Research for those of you who seem to think the media is manufacturing the support for Obama:
During the course of the campaign in Wisconsin, Clinton lost 14 percentage points of strong support (close to a 25% drop) and Obama gained 18 percentage points of strong support (over a 64% increase). Also, Clinton’s strong negative increased by 10 percentage points while Obama’s increased by 6 percentage points. That is political momentum for Obama.

Damn, I wish I had just one million of that money.

In case you want a second poll–for all of you who seem to be in denial about the way the average Democrat is leaning; this is from the Rasmussen report:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama opening a nine-point lead over Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Obama now earns support from 49% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters while Clinton attracts 40%.
That’s a drop of 3points for Clinton in one day.
You can live in denial all you want, and you can threaten to pick up your votes and go to the dark side, that is all up to you; however, the facts are the facts–and the facts are that even among only democratic voters, Obama is gaining momentum.

Ohio and Texas. Please finish off Hillary. I have Hillary-fatique. Make her go away. It was a bad idea from the start. Help America. Oh God. Please. O please. I am begging you to vote against her. Please???!!!

What some of you Obamamaniacs forget is that you will need the Clinton supporters in the general election.
I will write in Senator Clintons name as will many others. This guy is too shady for my liking. There are too many unanswered questions that the media has not addressed.

In Denial I am not. Obama most likely will be the nominee but what happens after that.Lets here some facts and not attacks! He is over promising and truely only can see the surface of the republican party. They are getting ready for him. He needs to get Hillary supporters or he sinks. The split between the party needs to stop or red will be back in office.

Obama says he has grassroots support, but I did not receive any email/phone-call/mail from his office. It is probably because I live in California and his office decided not to spend much money in California.
People are looking for a fresh face and started supporting Obama. But do we really know who he is? I reviewed several websites and his profiles, but I still cannot tell any details about his issues and agenda. He did not even state his favorite movie. It said “none stated”. And it seems most sloagans and inspiring words he recited were borrowed from somebody else.
Obama Echoes Deval Patrick…Again–February 17, 2008

The best evidence of Obama’s readiness to lead the nation is the ability with which he has run for president. After all, what is more difficult, complicated, or challenging than getting elected president? What other life experience better illustrates one’s qualification to hold the office than a manifest skill in seeking it. For anyone who has ever been elected president, the race that sent them to the White House was the single most important event in their lives and dwarfs any other experience they might have had before running. — D Morris, former adviser to Pres Clinton

I think that Obama & Hillary should issue us rebates also. They are hauling in so much… and spending it on what? Fighting with each other mostly…and all the while supposedly belonging to the same party. We need a democrat in office but, I sure wish there was a viable third choice!

The amount of money raised by both candidates is extraordinary. The best news here is that Americans are engaged in the political process. Come March 5th, one group of supporters is going to be disappointed…but to suggest voting for McCain if their candidate is not the nominee is ridiculous. I will be disappointed if my choice is not the nominee, but there is no way I would cast a vote for McCain. Regan unraveled the New Deal, Bush has taken this country back to the McKinley era. Do you really think McCain is going to do anything about education, the environment, or healthcare? Do you really want more soldiers to die because your candidate is not the nominee?
Whether it is Obama or Clinton, it has to be a Democrat in 2008! Don’t let sour grapes hand the election to someone who has no interest in the progressive agenda.

Good post Ricky!

Obama voters:
If “King Obama The Greatest Never do Anything Wrong Saint of the World” was such a uniter and brings people together, you shouldn’t be so worried about wether he can bring democrats together and vote for him. Aren’t you all just a little insecure about your pick? After all, It’s his campaign saying they can win back the white house, that means he needs to majically come up with a strategy to win back the clinton supporters…if he were to win.
Insecured people…sounds like you are already worried.

PT: You must be dreaming! You have already crowned Obama King, he is acting like it (what an ego), and the primaries leading up to the Democrat Convention are not finished. Ask West Virginia if they want to vote! I’ve donated several times to Hillary’s campaign. We believe in her because she has the knowledge, the ideas and solutions, the experience, and she has a work ethic none of the candidates can match.
She won the big states, New Hampshire when the media doomed her, and she even won Massachusetts despite Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, Ma state senators who persuaded an inexperienced Obama to run. They preened him and propped him up with their networks and influence. On his own, people would have been saying who is this guy? He is full of rhetoric and empty of substance except what he has copied from others.

Catiger:
I can just see it
Obama/Whinfrey ’08…We can change the world…yes we can.

Clinton supporters are not angry they just never give up. We are fighters and always have been and I am sure this will not be are last fight!

Nice job Rose.
I will also add that we Clinton supporters will be voting and campaigning for John Mc Cain. Ever wonder WHY Mc Cain doesnt MENTION clinton anymore? Just Obama?
I have already contacted the Mc Cain camp. I am organizing Clinton supporters for Mc Cain .
Mc Cain is VERY liberal. He has STRONG ties to Clinton. He is going to come after the Clinton voters. And he will WIN.

SF for Hillary | Feb 28, 2008 6:30:59 PM
Yes, I think everybody is worried and there are very good reasons: a divided party can not win. We are worried the negative campaign of Hillary helps nobody but repulicans. We are worried that Hillary damages her own reputation so much, she will no longer be effective to even unite her own supporters.
As you can clearly see, she has successfully divided the democrats and made us fight against each other. If she really has a sense of common good of democrats, she should quit now. If she does not, she risks being “rejected and denounced” by democrats. Her only thread that is still hanging her candidacy is that she is a woman candidate.
But, let’s face it. She is not the only woman politician. Soon, everybody will realize it was a mistake to stick with her because there are better woman politicians who are better positioned to win and who are less divisive.
Hillary’s lose is inevitable and, frankly, no big deal. Her lose gives way to the rise of other better woman politicians.

My concern is this money coming from to Mr. Obama and Miss Hillary. I count 70 million dollars for both of them and it just keeps on pouring in.
People out here are losing their homes, losing their jobs to companies that are leaving. The gangs are killing each other and us. Some of us are just hungry cause we are the wrong what ever to quallify for food.
Just who is it that can afford to drop so many millions of dollars; Month after month.
Don’t say it’s the “collections of the poor”. That duck don’t even quack any more let alone fly.
Is it the Chicoms like with Mr. Bill on his second election?
There is a stinch and a stain from the House of the Democrats and it’s time we put a stop to this.
Eitgher the candidates gives us real answers or we rip it all up and start overand the next time the communists will get a say. The great patriot Joe McCarthy mustbe spinning in his grave.

ricky – Read my previous posts. I’m an independent who has been planning to vote for Clinton because her positions and her message resonate with my views of what America needs to get us out of the mess we are in. Just because I’m skeptical of Obama’s message because it does not reflect his actions does not make me a spiteful voter worthy of disdain. Your assumptions are arrogant and comments like yours and other Obama supporters have turned my potential vote even further away from your candidate. I won’t vote republican but unless Obama can explain how his huge support from Big Pharma and Dirty Energy corporations will influence his potential presidency,I don’t think I can vote for him either. Universal Healthcare and a new direction in energy use and consumption are too important to me as a voter. His words are pretty, but his actions and his corporate support don’t back it up.

To all Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain if BO wins the nomination: We are not fooled!!! You are GOP supporters that are trying hard to knock Obama down because you are afraid of him. I can not see a woman (NO matter how angry she may be) voting for McCain if Obama wins. She will turn her back on healthcare for her and her children, tuition, ending the war in Iraq and all the other things that he agrees with Hillary on. You will vote to take that away out of spite? You all can’t possibly be that dumb. That simply means to me that you really did NOT agree with her on the issues, you just wanted a woman in office,

The numbers for Obama were LOW LOW LOW in the beginning, so the folks who come over to his side weren’t jumping on a bandwagon.
And if you look at the way it works, Obama will come into a state way behind in the polls and only after he hits the ground and starts talking with the people directly do his numbers begin to grow. This is what some folks aren’t understanding: people who are curious come to hear the guy and come away convinced he can change the direction of the country. It isn’t media spin or jumping on a band wagon: it is weighing options and determining who has the more compelling argument.
But it doesn’t even matter if you think that is Hillary; what is amazing is that with these two candidates having such similary platforms, it seems many are more than willing to abandon that platform and the democratic party if Obama is candidate. That goes WAY beyond preferring one candidate to another but getting behind whoever the party’s candidate is simply to effect the change we need. It is spiteful and hateful.

Note to Democrats…
I’m an Obama supporter… but if Clinton gets the nomination I will vote for her.
We need stop all this backbiting and come together!!!
We don’t need four/eight more years of Republicans in the White House
We need a Democrat in the White House this November!!!

the ideologue with feel-good rhetoric
I’m really amazed that the press hasn’t made more of BO’s liberal voting agenda in the Ill. and US senate. Take the example of the Born Alive Infant’s Protection Act which was unanimously passed in both the US Senate and Congress and supported by Clinton. A year later, when the Ill Senate wanted to use identical language, BO opposed it. Basically, he was voting for infanticide. This guy makes Clinton, Kennedy, and Boxer look like Right to LIfers compared to him!
For all of the deluded who are going to vote for him, think about this: BO voted present many times on many issues (basically, he refused to take a satnce), but on something so staright forward as saving the life of “preterm newborns”, he votes against it???
Why haven’t church leaders, the Clinton staff/supporters, and the press challenged the guy on this? If Clinton voted like this, she would be branded a baby-killer. Instead, BO is our new age messiah.
I don’t want to unify around this guy’s agenda in November.

The Clinton supporters dont like the MEDIA and african americans promoting an EMPTY SUIT who never ONCE proved he would be the better president. He just proved he could sucker VOTERS .
Why would we Clinton supporters put an inexperienced talker into the white house when he has never made the CASE he can be president.
John Mc Cain is the most LIBERAL Rebublican there is.
You guys are FOOLS to think we are going to BLINDLY vote for Obama just cause Obama jerks WANT us to ? Get lost.

I AM REALLY TURNED OFF BY OBAMA NOW.THE WHOLE ELECTION HAS BECOME AN ITEM-TO-ITEM COMPETITION FOR HIM. IF HILLARY JUST RAISED A LITTLE MORE MONEY, HE IS GOING TO DO BETTER. I NEVER EXPECT THIS DARK SIDE OF HIM IN THE BEGINNING. NOW HE HAS SHOWN ALL THE SIGNS OF A small MAN WHOSE ONLY AMBITION IS TO WIN AT ALL COST EVEN IT MEANS TO SACRIFY HIS HUMANITY. HE SEEMS TO BE NIXON REINCARNATED WITH EVEN MORE NEGATIVE TRAITS OF CHARACTER.

“Honesty, you’ve been beating that same drum whereever you go. Tax filings aren’t due until April 15th.”
Uh, how about LAST YEAR’S tax returns?

Obama is the most LIBERAL guy running. he is FAR left.
Dont worry. You Obama freaks can tap dance it all you want. Obama has no universal health care.
He wants to pull out in Iraq, but then GO BACK IN. Maybe he can get African American leaders to get MAD at Al Queda and tell them to ‘chill’.
Obama is an IDIOT .

Well maybe now Hillary can finally pay those people she stiffed in Iowa and New Hampshire for office rent and cleaning bills. Pathetic.

Obama has been much more aggressive with soliciting donations from e-mail. Hillary hasn’t done that until this month. The shame of it all is that had Hillary been as agressive then she could’ve easily outspent Obama in the first months of the campaign with the combination of e-mail donors and big money donors.
I donated to Hillary, but have to give it to Obama’s campaign for their fund raising strategy. If Hillary survives the next month then I think she should be in much more competitive shape. I’m assuming her campaign now knows the value of e-mail solicitations (I hope so).
As far as supporters are concerned. The latest national polls show Obama 47% and Hillary 46%. The idea that Obama has loads more support than Hillary is ludicrous. If Hillary’s campaign gets their fundraising act together then she can easily match or top him. Think of it – Obama’s supporters have been donating for months. Hillary’s supporters have only just started. There’s a vast reserve out there if she can tap it.
4th quarter, 10 minutes left to play. My girl is behind. Can she pull it off? We’ll find out March 4th.

Go Hillary ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Those of us who appreciates experience and stand by those who have stood by us – are pulling for you. We have seen so many times how many in this country love to build up an “AMERICAN IDOL” even before they really know them, only to tear them down later after they get to know them, it is a backward approach, but we see it over and over again. If you do not believe me, ask Britney Spears and Michael Jackso

mhhunt- My post was directed towards democrats speaking of jumping ship. I can acknowledge that some independents, and perhaps a few democrats, don’t fit into the box i constructed. However, perhaps you would acknowledge the fact that Senator Clinton takes more money from “special interests” than any other candidate. That actually makes me very skeptical of the likelihood that her post-election actions would reflect the will of the people.
I am a doctor/scientist who shares your strong concerns regarding health care and clean energy. I do think that Obama is quite likely to deliver on those aspects of his platform (lower health care costs, green economy, etc). Beyond that, I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that he is more likely to achieve these goals than ANY republican candidate.

Patrick; I agree one thing I love about him he learns so fast. He retains and corrects himself quickly. I love the way he thinks about things before he responds to questions.

This is simply over.
Over for Hillary
and it’s over for McCain.
There is not one ounce of possibility
that either of them can surpass the
wave of support that Obama is hanging
ten on right now. If they can find a
huge chunk of dirt on him, then maybe?
but other than that, all of you that
are bent on supporting criminals can
just start blogging about Jesus or
miller beer or whatever it is that all
of you deluded-voted-in-bush-twice maniacs are interested in these days.

Think of the country as a whole, in the last election Dems “lost” by a very small margin. Now think of the Dems today, this race will be decided by a very small margin.
This spells out divisive. This spells out an issue with the way America picks their candidate, it’s also called democracy. Now there is no reason why Hillary should pull out, why because the media is calling Obama the front runner. If I remember the media never called Hillary when she was ahead in by far a larger spread.
Point is, the primaries are not over. And as strong as either candidate say they are, they need to put their great skills to work and pull the party together. No democrat should by using scare tactics to others warning … if they don’t vote this way McCain will win.
Now as a Hillary supporter, and IF she loses. It’s a new election and Obama will need to prove that he is a better candidate than McCain. If he can’t than I will vote accordingly. Not because of race or gender. Those are all insecure excuses for hypothetical loses. It’s foolish to think that if Obama can mimic the words of other democrats, he can win the general without bringing the party together. This is how a party loses elections.
Obama needs to be strong enough to bring us together…as he says he is, and so does Hillary. Now the counter to that is Hillary is not talking it as much as Obama, so HE needs to live up to it.
Let’s see if he wins the primaries and wins the general, then you can all praise how great he is. Until then, let America make their decision and hope that its correct.

Some folks supporting Hillary are contemplating leaving America if Obama is elected. They quoted the proverb “Never offend a small man who will do all he can to show his smallness attacking his critics” for making such plans. I thought they are being paranoid but now I am not so sure. I am going to stay no matter what. We can’t leave our nation to a bunch of small men.

Hey all you Democratics we really need to stop bashing each other and come together!

Is there any way that we can just get the candidates to print what they want to do to bring ‘change’ to our nation or their voting record on the web and take all that campaign money and put it into the national debt or feeding the poor or something??????

There’s NO WAY people are throwing that kind of money towards a sinking campaign. I’m sure she’s padding the numbers. HRC seems desperate to win a news cycle.

It is scary that democratic nominee is being picked by a few TV journalists and commentators. These elite handful people decided that Obama is the seecond coming of God and Hillary is the she devil and masses follow Obama. Well not this democrat. I will vote for Republican for the first in my life if Obama is the democratic nominee.

Obama needs Hillary in the senate she will be has guideing light. I think Obama will help her get the Health Care the she wants if they work together.

We know what Hillary has done she is awesome. She even said she has more fun in the senate. Nobody is arguing with you it is all about the power and ego’s

THOSE FOLKS THINGING OBAMA IS SMART IN USING DECEPTION, MANIPULATION,SMEAR AND SCARE TACTICS, LIES AND BOASTS TO WIN AN ELECTION WILL BE RUDELY SHOCKED WHEN IT COMES TO INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS. THE WORLD AS A WHOLE DOES NOT LIKE SUCH DIRTYY TRICKS AND MEN USING THEM. OBAMA WILL ENCOUNTER MORE OBSTACLES IN REPAIRING INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS IF HE IS PERCEIVED TO BE DISHONEST AND UNTRUSTWORTH, EVEN IF HE DOES NOT SOUND LIKE BUSH IN ADVOCAINT BOMBING PAKISTAN AGAIN.

Obama is no Messiah he just a man that loves his country!

I agree with a lot of the sentiment on this board — I actually wonder if part of that $35 million is her injecting money in again. Remember that she counted her $5 million loan last month in her $12.5 haul.
Either way, Obama outraised her at least by $15 million. They’re saying north of $50 million. Watch for that to be even higher.
She’s gotten what she wanted with the media harping on Obama now, so she better not complain or whine anymore. They’re so used to controlling and manipulating everyone through the press, that it’s not a fun feeling when they’re actually being called out on their games.
What’s ironic is that it was the SC Carolina comments that were really the turning point in all of this. And the media made very little commentary on Bill’s words. Instead the American people were smart enough to see it for themselves.
That’s what’s different this time around. The American people aren’t letting them get away with the same old politics of personal destruction.
I hope and pray that era in our country is over. We desperately need a new change and so does our world.

BO says he has experience of community organizer. So he is more qualified than Hillary !!! If that is the best qualification for the US prsident then there are thousands of peoples if not millions more qualified than him. You BO supporter wake up he is no god. He is just hollow with no substance just speech. There is no comparision with Hillary. Who is far far better than him.

Ron, Hillary was in the race first, way before Obama, yes our party is split in half but what else would you have expected after obama decided to run.
If Obama gets the nomination and loses to MCCain his career is over he will be labled a spoiler in the eyes of the party. and the gop will have won one they shoud have lost.

Obama’s campaign people are averaging a 109.00 per person not that much when he has over a million donors what can you say. Thats leadership!

Helpplease – can anyone help you figure out the real Obama policy? I think you’re going to have to do that yourself. But I’ll give you a hint – try using less sweeping generalities.

Hal he wont loose if we come together.

The woman who are supporting Hillary need to come and support the brother when it is over.

What will our democratic party do when MCcain picks a women or hispanic VP or better picks Colin Powell. WE will have egg on our faces.

Where is this money coming from? Big donations from Special Interests (which ones?) or small donations from myriad individuals?

Someone please help me understand how you can be so adamantly for Senator Clinton, but would waste a vote with a write in or vote for Senator McCain.
Senator McCain is everything Senator Clinton is against!
If Obama doesn’t get the nomination I will vote for Senator Clinton. At one point when I was extremely frustrated I said I wouldn’t but then I realized I would be cutting my nose of in spite of my face. I hate this WAR and what it is doing to a generation of soldiers; I HATE this war for what it is doing to our ECONOMY and our DEFICIT; I HATE this war because of all the innocent lives lost here and abroad; I HATE this war because our country has lost so much respect. What I do KNOW is Senator Clinton or Senator Obama will END THIS WAR & Senator McCain WILL CONTINUE THIS WAR!
I hate that we are paying $3.50/gal for gas, I hate that more jobs are being sent overseas, I hate that the poor are getting poorer and the middle-class are sinking into despair losing their homes and jobs. I KNOW Senator Clinton and Obama will change that I KNOW Senator McCain WILL NOT!
Democrats let’s not lose all PERSPECTIVE. Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have both done negative things that can be called into action, but truth me told there is more hate and disdain amongst supporters versus the candidates.

Powell may be Obama’s running mate they are very, very good friends. he told Wolf on CNN he may support him.

J-
Thanks for answering the question. You support the individual rather than the platform, and will sacrifice that platform if your candidate doesn’t get the nomination.
Glad to know you are so loyal to your candidate that you will let the people of the US continue to be held hostage to the politics of the Republicans because you personally don’t like someone.
Big of you to put yourself in front of the rest of us.

I heard the for the first time in their lifes that the Obama supporters are proud of their country.

Policy on what?

Obama’s Achilles heel is the purchase of his chicago residence. How could a man so smart do such a bone headed thing
answer:Greed.

Hey he screwed up it was a way to get a good deal on a house! We all have screwed up man come on I have my whole life.

I mean if the house in chicago is the the reason you hate him, than I guess you won’t support him nomatter what he does.

All you people who hate Obama. This weekend watch one movie that may help you understand were I am comming from. It is called: THE FOG OF WAR!

For all of you Obama supporters who think that Clinton supporters would vote for Obama just because we are democtrats you’re terribly wrong. Why would we vote for such an inept candidate and hurt the democratic party? McCain is not an evil person and I feel the country would be safer for the next 4 years. Obama would ruin the country and we would then have 8 more years of a republican in office.

Has any one heard from Michelle Obama lately?

NO Michelle is off being proud of her country.

Al, I heard she is with Caroline, Maria, Stevie and Oprah. I’m just not sure where that is.

OBAMA CAN NOT GET INTO THE WHITEHOUSE WITHOUT US CLINTON SUPPORTERS!!! Think about that!!!

Oh by the way does anyone find it strange that Ted Kennedy the man who has held the same senate seat for 46 years (since 1962) is supporting the candiate of Change?

Gee, Obama went to harvard law school, was president of the harvard law review and also a Constitional law professor but he did not release that his real estate purchase was a bone headed thing until some reporter asked him about it.

During the yaer that he bought his 1.6 million dollar home with an additional $600,000 in financing from Rezko (thats the guy who goes on trial next week) how much did he and michelle give to charity.

Im sorry. I will never support the dynasties of the Clintons. I live in Akron, Ohio. I must tell people that Hillary based on all my research did support NAFTA. This is a reality. My family have lost so much because the companies they used to worked closed down. They have children and its sad!! America please do not vote for a women who is nothing but a fluke. Hillary will say anything to get elected. I urge all people in Ohio to go out and support Barack Obama. In the last month she has shown her true colors. When I watched the last debate, it really shocked me how many faces this women has. I was at one of Barack Obama town meeting and he was very specific to what he wants to do.

Marie Sue, I will never support Barack Obama. I have been to one of us rallies and I can not believe how shallow his speech was. NO SPECIFICS!!
If you want a candidate who will help you,

Marie Sue, I’m sorry about that. But during your research did you also find that at one time Obama also said NAFTA was not all bad? He has said this before unfortunately, I can’t remember excactly where and now that he has gone to Ohio he is saying it is bad and pointing a finger at Hillary. Has it occured to you that he is critizing platforms of his own party especially those of one of American’s greatest Presidents (minus his personal woes)? He is a backstabber. Vote for him if you want but I do not think Obama’s policies will bring help to you and your family. Trust me, Hillary is your best bet and you can take it or leave it.

sorry…one of his rallies

I admire people who believe in Clinton so much that they are willing to donate to her, but I wonder when Hillary supporters will “wake up?”
Running and managing a campaign tells you a lot about a candidate – not only how consistent they are with a message, but also how they manage money.
Contrary to the way that people have been trying to paint Obama, Clinton is all talk. She said she would provide New York with over 200k new jobs. During her term, New York LOST thousands of jobs. She says she will provide Universal Healthcare, but she tried to do this in the 90s with Bill Clinton and FAILED.
I don’t understand why people keep donating to her despite the fact that she so severely mishandled her campaign money and all of the donations she received from special interests and washington lobbyists, that she had to loan herself $5M of her own money, that she ended up losing 11 straight primaries (BY DOUBLE DIGITS- at least 17 points) anyway, and that she has a knack of losing double digit leads in the polls when she actually spends the money. And please don’t tell me it’s because Obama has more money and is outspending her. That may be true now, but it wasn’t true a couple of months ago.
It’s like throwing all of your money on a race horse who not only keeps losing, but loses badly every time. When will people wake up? If she can’t manage a $100M campaign (or appoint competent people to do it for her), despite her YEARS of experience, how can she manage the U.S. economy (or appoint compentent people to do that). Why do I have feeling that she will make appointments, not based on credentials, but based on loyalty derived from years and years of being in the public spotlight?
Obama has done what he has always set out to do, whether he was 20 points down or 20 points up. His message has never changed, and he never went “ugly” despite being down 20 points in this country. He will manage the country the way he has managed his campaign. By believing in you, and me, and everyone else who isn’t represented by special interests/lobbyists. His campaign is not about getting himself elected. His campaign has always been about giving the American government back to the American people. Why not believe, for example, based on recent history, that he will inspire, motivate and mobilize the vast majority of the American public to get behind his healthcare plan so that our congresspersons (Republican or Democrat) will do the same (or risk not getting reelected). If he can turn a 20 point deficit in the polls to 20 point victories and become the front runner in a campaign that Hillary was supposed to win a month ago, it makes me believe he can do the same in November and then as President.
If Hillary has taken money from special interests and lobbyists, why do people believe that she will fight such interests in Washington?

Archie–you need to redo your math. Obama can not win without the Clinton supporters. METHINKS, he has about as much chance as a snow ball in he!!
(Popular vote=more to Clinton)

“Archie–you need to redo your math. Obama can not win without the Clinton supporters. METHINKS, he has about as much chance as a snow ball in he!!
(Popular vote=more to Clinton”
Bonny, well said :)

HELLO, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBAMA AND BUSH? OBAMA SAID THAT HIS PLAN TO BOMB PAKISTAN HAS ALREADY BEEN CARRIED OUT BY BUSH LAST MONTH OR SO? SO IF HE DOES NOT SEE BUSH’S BOMBINGS IN PAKISTAN IS WRONG, WHY IS HE ATTACKING BUSH? JUST OUT OF HABIT AND FOR THE FUN OF IT?

Any Hillary supports interested, read this. We’re on a roll and we are standing strong with our candidate. I am happy that we’re all pulling together so provide financial and moral support. Thanks everyone!!!!

if you count Florida and Michigan–she is ahead. In Novemeber they will be voting.

Salida: Since you seem to be a Hillary supporter then good for you that your candidate is now on a roll. But, I would like to ask the rather obvious question as to why she now needs to be on a roll? Assumption that everything would be wrapped up by Big Tuesday and would not need a great deal more campaigning money was being just a bit presumptious in my mind!

We LOVE HILLARY, She has PLANS. not more TALK about plans

This message is for Liwai from China. I dont understand what are you trying to say. The fact is that I was at one of his Town Hall meeting (BARACK OBAMA) and he was very specific. I live in OHIO. Per your post you live in China. Im happy you are financially stable there. My famili is not, here in America. We have lost so much jobs becouse of NAFTA is not funny!! My two sister lost their jobs, they both have children. Its sad. I understand you like Hillary. I just can not support a women who supported NAFTA and act like is nothing. I researched this in great details and Hillary did support NAFTA. The other issue he emotional state is so not desirable. In regards to charactor Barack has been always coo, cal and colective. He is very respectfull. Im tired of all the Clinton dramas. We Americans in Ohio will come out and reject her.

Do you know how many people that could feed, clothe or house? Sad to see that it is going towards this nonsense.

I did not think the whole Rezko thing was an issue UNTIL I saw the picture of the lot next to Obama’s house. I assumed it was an empty lot that someone would/could build a house on. It’s really a big garden that can only be accessed by Obama’s front gate! Now why in the world would Rezko’s wife had bought that lot if it wasn’t a payoff?

Obama will win the democratic nominee and possibly the presidency. I will not help him. He will be the biggest dissapointment since jimmy carter. Hope does not solve problems. Its just a word. Hillary would be a much better president. Obama want to negoiate with terrorist and terrorist nations. It is true, there is a sucker born every minute and terrorist are pulling for Obama because they know they can fool him, lie to him and strike us in our heart. If your family earns over 50k a year; you will regret voting in Obama. He is going to tax you to death to pay for all the people too lazy to use the programs in place now for self improvement. Everyone can go to college if they are willing to work for it. No one will want to or need to with Obama and the giant government that he wants. Welfare is going to drowned our country. Obama does not have a clue. He is just a slick con man with fools that will follow him off the cliff. Not me or anyone I know. Last thing, there is a difference between book smart and common sense. Obama has neither; just slick talk. Used car salesman.

Tcnz, we’re on a roll because the media and you and all the Obama followers were counting us out. We are strong resilent and will continue to press for what we believe is right for our children, heirs and the future of this country so yes, we’re on a roll.
The battle up hill is not going to be easy but I can tell you, we are not giving up easily and she is not either. Any more questions?

Dear “For What its worth”
Please describe in detail how Hillary would be better than Obama?
List of Hillary’s “Accomplishments”
- FAILED attempts to get health care for everyone.
- Went around telling people that she supported NAFTA, which has devastated states like Ohio.
- WORKED on the corporate board at Wal-Mart.
- VOTED FOR the war in Iraq, which she admits that she regrets.
- Her State LOSES thousands of jobs despite her campaign promise that she will create 200k new jobs in New York.
- Was the hands down favorite to win the nomination, but not only failed, but also neglected to have a strategy after Super Tuesday (classic case of “underestimating your enemy.”)
Also, as you will see from the exit polls, more people who are college educated and earn more than $50k per year are voting for OBAMA and not Clinton. Why? Because we believe that we won’t be taxed to death. I earn more than $50 k, but I never asked Bush for a tax cut (ESPECIALLY IN A TIME OF WAR). So repealing his tax cuts will put me back in the same position as before Bush passed those tax cuts. Will it kill me? No. Will I sacrifice a few more tax dollars so that people who earn less than $50k (ESPECIALLY CHILDREN) will get healthcare? YES. Barack is not just slick talk – he is talk AND action, and there is a reason why anyone who does their research on BOTH candidates will see that Obama is superior in QUALIFICATIONS.
# Years in Washington doesn’t = Qualified

Salida,
Please see her own book, her memoir, “Living History.”
“Creating a free trade zone in North America—the largest free trade zone in the world—would expand U.S. exports, create jobs and ensure that our economy was reaping the benefits, not the burdens, of globalization. Although unpopular with labor unions, expanding trade opportunities was an important administration goal. The question was whether the White House could focus its energies on two legislative campaigns at once [NAFTA and health care]. I argued that we could and that postponing health care would further weaken its chances.” [p. 182]
“Senator Dole was genuinely interested in health care reform but wanted to run for President in 1996. He couldn’t hand incumbent Bill Clinton any more legislative victories, particularly after Bill’s successes on the budget, the Brady bill and NAFTA.” [p.231]
hmmm…. I wonder why labor unions were so opposed to the idea back in the day? Maybe it’s because the deal NAFTA didn’t have enough protections for corporations that would do that.

GES, I saw the picture of Obama’s house and the lot next to it and thought the same thing. The other thing that stands out is the price comparison. There is no way that his house would only be $1.6M and the lot next door $600,000. I could see if the house was $1.9M and the lot $300,000. Something is fishy.

Obama campaing is one of the best. They have had this donatiuon on line and it has done great things for his campaign. I think it will take a lot of donating for Hillary to catch up with obama and he is honest when it come to the amount he is to expect. He said he is expecting and Hillary almost say she have the right amont. Do your math as the Aarons commercial advertisement, 1+1=2. Obama will raise more money, because he is based on hope. We cannot give up now because we have came to far. MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS OBAMA AND HIS CAMPAIGN

A lot of those 35M is ‘last stand’ money. In many ways, we HC supporters threw our kitchen sinks in for her. I know I did after Wisconsin. I still have the trash disposal, but not sure if I’ll chuck it in after the next round. I’ll probably save that for PA if she’s still in the race then.

It is so great to see a man of color bring out all of the pseudo racist democrats who are really republicans at heart, just like Hillary in college.

DMDNormanOk, yes, play the race card. It always works for only one group of people in this country. The others can’t defend themselves, they can’t have an opinion that is against a black man, they are seen as racist. If America does not hand the Presidency to Obama, they’re racist because the black man is owed the presidency.
This obviously does not apply to women or the fact that for over 200 years in this country and many other countries the world over, it has been ruled by men which has basically resulted in war, famine, etc all over.

Oh Boy, if it was so informative, what did you come away with, and no do not go the website before coming back to post. What DO YOU remember he said. Do not include the words Change and Hope.

Honesty wrote “Where is this money coming from????Why are her tax records not open to the public????Much of their money comes from overseas and has ties to it.You will not see these or the presidental records of her many trips for they were pleasure and WE paid for them.”
It is Obama that has a scandal called Rezko hanging over him that involves a Syrian banker! And it was Obama making trips to Africa & dressing in Somali Islamic garb.

McAuliffe confidently predicted victory.
“What Hillary’s gonna do is she’s gonna win this nomination,” he told supporters on the call.
“There are 35 million dollars worth of people who have skipped dinners, not taken medications so she can do this,” he said.
HHHA HHHHAA HHHAA wow McAuliffe is a real drama queen!!!! Just think Obama was able to raise 50 million and no one had to skip a meal!

You played the race card. As a woman of color and a professional world dominated by men I feel I have the perspective and experience to make an informed observation.

Its true Salida. Hillary supported NAFTA. Yale university resarched this information in great details.They did concluded that she did suported NAFTA. In fact they said Hillary and Bill champion NAFTA all over the USA and they both said it was one of Bills Clintons best acomplishments. Im one who will not vote for Hillary. She flip-flops an issues. Fist she voted for the war, then she acted like she was bothered when ask why?? She danced around this issue an never came clean ala Hillary style. Then she said maybe it was a wrong choice. Hillary supported Nafta now she said well maybe it was not what she thought it will be. The other issue health care. In the debate she try to say that her plan is not a mandate and Barack called her out. It is a mandate. If you dont join you will have a penalty and you will have your wages garnish. This is real. Its not working in Mass, what makes her think it will work all over the USA. The reason Americans are rejecting this health plan is becasue like the democratic party in Ohio said, Americans like choice not mandates. The last thing Im sorry Hillary has acted very all over the place. One day shes happy, the next day she is angry, defensive. She is not presidential. In contrast Barcak has maintain his ways..He has been calm and respecfull all the way. He acts and looks very presidential. Wow lots of people from Ohio. How great!!

No one played the race card DMD just now except you saying people were racist. And as a woman of color making a supposedl informed observation, the statement was out of place. People can differ on issues and opinions without one thinking the other did it because they’re racist.

Snakes, are the Rezko’s planning on building a house on the lot/garden?

What difference does it make which one gets the nomination? They both have the same liberal ideals.Anti-business, tax the people to death and give the money away to crooks.

Pat, the appearance is not good. But there is no proof that Rezko gained any favors from the transaction. Obama said it was bone headed on his part.
The Chicago Sun-Times, which has really crack, well connected political reporters investigated the Rezko deal for years. They could come up with nothing. If they couldn’t, I doubt there is anything further to connect.

Katy, I think the theft of White House china is an urban legend.
I thought Bob Barr had that investigated, and the investigation found nothing untoward.

I’m supporting one of the Democrats. I used to say that if my candidate didn’t win I wouldn’t vote for the other. However, I have stopped that kind of attack and now if I do attack I attack McCain. He is the war and only war and more war candidate.

Obama still is raising big time money, it doesn’t matter what Hillary is doing honestly…

Steve & othet Obama supporters:
You guys keep on repeating Obama campaign talking point that Clintons are divisive, can any of you give some concrete examples what divisiveness they caused. From what I see Democratic party was, thanks to Mr. Obama, never as divided as it is today. I have seen many posts which say they will never vote for Obama if he is the nominee. By the way I am one those who will not vote for Obama.

WHEN HILLARY RAISED THIS QUESTION BEFORE ALL THE WINS BY OBAMA, THE PRESS AND THE “INTELLIGENT” AMERICANS CALLED HER A “BIT–” AND A “LIAR”. DOES CBS LIE NOW? SO DEAN REYNOLDS IS A “BIT–” TOO? AMERICANS HAVE GONE MAD!!!

I never think people from this country could help Obama Hussein to raise money for having him in the big chair,remember people think before going to vote and dont vote for a person because he dress nice and have a big smile but dont have nothing in his head yet,this country is worse now but just wait until he take pocession to that chair this country going to be worse than a third country is better to vote for a person you already know than a person you dont know

satish, the Democratic Party was far more divided in 1968.
Winning united the Dems around Clinton.

I will write her in as well, I believe that a lot of folks will, we will post and shut and ask that all her suporter do just as He did in MI. she will have my vote on the 4th in Ohio and more of my money,,, What the heck is wrong with this country that they don’t see that there is some thing wrong with this guy and his bull..

Salida, there is a growing movement of people who will not support Obama under any circumstance. I agree with an earlier post that it will not be because Hillary did not get the nomination (if that happens) but because he is not the best of the remaining candidates and he would be a disaster for our country.

I have never donated to any political campaign before but I felt that the press have been unfair to Clinton and that Obama have been advertising like crazy with all the money he collected, I needed to help a more qualified candidate, ie Hillary, to level the playing field a little. I have contributed twice online and will do again with no hesitation.

my vote is for hillary she is the only one person for the white house people wakeup something smell fissssshy with obama hussein barack

Rezko and Obama went house hunting together. Obama bought a house and Rezko bought the adjacent lot because the seller wanted to close the deal on the same day. What strikes me odd is that Obama, a novice, was able to get price reduced by $300,000 but Rezko, an experienced businessman, could not get any reduction in price. WOW Obama is smart or may be ????????

This election is all about money and politics. Let’s talk issues! Everyone seems to forget that. Bring back President Ronald Wilson (don’t forget the middle name) Reagan.

Give it a rest, ladies and gents!! Put your money where your mouth is for your respective candidates, and let your feet do the talkin’ AND the walkin’ by stepping up to the ballot booth March 4th! We can all talk history on March 5th, so see you here!

Al, NAFTA was negotiated by the Bush administration. It was first discussed by Reagan and Mulroney, and negotiations started under their leadership.
People who will not support Obama under any circumstances are not true Democrats.
I always thought Clinton’s administration (for which HRC takes credit) was a disaster foreign policy wise (Kosovo, Russia, lack of action on terrorist bombings), but I never denied they were Democrats.

Sankes nafta was negotiated under Bush but approved under Clinton with his approval, like I said at the time it was a good deal , however the times have changed and now it needs to be adjusted to help the american worker.

Al, how, exactly, did Bush run his campaign? By smearing McCain in South Carolina, by smearing Kerry and his wife in 2004, and by cynically playing the Evangelicals in both elections.
And he has proven true to that form in office.

No, Al, Mulroney and Reagan started the NAFTA negotiations. I remember it.
NAFTA was signed by Bush in 1992 (remember, it’s a treaty). It needed legislative approval thereafter, and Clinton pushed that through.

There were an awfull lot of Democrats who jumped ship and voted for Bush the last couple of elections. These are the same people who are now voting for Obama. Don’t you ever learn?

I gave 2 weeks ago to OBAMA and now I going on line again to donate $50.00 more! OBAMA 08

The Nafta traety is 16 years old so its not unusual
for the terms to be in need of change.

Snakes on a plan, a true democrat can vote for a republican. I think Obama would be the worse thing for this party and feel he would not get reelected for a second term. This would be devasting for the long-term strength of our party.

Look how can a man like Obama promise so much change with so little substance and so little detail. The truth is Hillary and obama have very similiar views on the issues yet Hillary in not promising the degree of change Obama is
there is an old political saying: tell em what they wonna hear.

Look as a democrat i’m going for hillary bit if obama wins i’m voting for McCain, the bottom line is that MCCain is a moderate and a guy who although a republican is a person i feel ok about. He can’t be too bad if all those right wingers hate him,

Satish, you are misrepresenting Obama’s position. He said that if Pakistan refused to rout al Qaeda in border regions, he would bomb those regions to take out al Qaeda.
The truth is, that has already happened. On numerous occasions. There have been several bombings of al Qaeda hideouts in Pakistan (in which innocent civilians have also been killed).
Musharraf is hamstrung in taking action, because it would foment Islamic fundamentalism within Pakistan. Moreover, many of Pakistan’s military officers are ethnic Pashtuns allied with the Taliban and Islamic radicals, and there are fundamentalist sympathizers within Pakistan’s secret service, who tip off radicals when they can.
Do you think it is a coincidence that the safest places in the world today for al Qaeda operatives are Yeman and Pakistan???
So, nothing Obama said was very different from current policies, spin notwithstanding.

I don’t have much money but I just today donated to her campaign….first time donating ever for any candidate. I did it as an investment for my girls….an investment in their future…a future where brilliant, strong, hard-working women will over-come the uphill battle that they constantly have to fight….even when against a less qualify and inexperience male. I will continue to donate the little that I can because the sexism I’ve seen on played out in this election has been horrific.

Can some one tell me how Ted kennedy a person who has been in the senate for 46 years or Chris Dodd a person who has been inthe Congress since the 1970′s are supporting the candiate of change?

Talk about a double standard I was watching a CNN episode when they were interviewing a black male in South Carolina about Hillary. As his wife sat across from him he was saying how he could not vote for a women because he and his friends said she would be soft if the U.S. were attacked by terrorists, Can you imagine if a white man said he would not vote for a person who was black beacuse of his race. Why is gender discrimiantion tolarated when race discrimiantion isn’t. I think when it comes down to this election thats the bottom line.

Hillary for president! Lets go ladies, I also donated today $50 to Hillary’s campaign today. Let’s put some actions behind this movement. Lets stand up and let our voices be heard. The beatings on HIllary in this election has to stop. From what i’ve heard and sensed out there, I believe the double standards and gender bias showned in this election has awaken a protective giant. The women I’ve talked to are no longer sitting iddle by. They are surging behind HIllary. Lets go ladies, lets get behind Hillary and take a stand for all little girls out there. I agree with the last post, lets take some actions today in order to gain a better tomorrow for our daughters. Donate $5, $10, whatever you can. We will make a difference on March 4th. Hillary08

Go President Barack Hussein Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all of you who put W in office your opinion does NOT count!!!!

John 43m, demon, really? I believe you may be referring to your protege Karl Rove. I doubt very seriously you are giving any money to Obama. It sounds like your man Huckabee didn’t fair so well so you thought you’d come do mischief with the Democrats.

By the way how many of you are proud of your country for the first time in your lifes?.

Obama is a slick attorney who knows if he can get people all worked up and excited, they will think they are at a football game shouting to win. His followers don’t even recognize the real situation. Hillary is a mature attorney who knows this country needs a dedicated mature real leader. Obama is all about “him” and Hillary is all about “us”. She has true grit. She is the best choice of all 3 to lead this nation. Obama’s arrogance will lead us down the wrong pathways and perhaps into a worse war or economic mess than we’ve seen already. This is a serious time – it’s not a sporting event. His impeccable coat/tie and legaleze way of smiling while he insults our intelligence by his lack of maturity will not get my vote regardless of party lines. Hillary is miles ahead of him in every agenda presented to us.

Barack Hussein Obama is getting finicial support from every muslim organization in the world! Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, has endorsed Obama. Obama will not affirm support for Israel. It has been documented that Obama supported the PLO. Obama’s middle name is Hussein, he lives up to that name.

I also recall the President who won in 1980. BO’s words are inspiring as his, but BO is not like him because the President had already lost his party nomination once and won California twice by the time he was nominated in 1980. BO can certainly sound like him, but BO’s experience is no where near his. Ditto for the comparison between BO and the President who won in 1992.

Hillary’s continued use of her husband to defend her is so typical of feminist who want it both ways. “I’m strong, oh, yes, Bill can you keep that bad old man from attacking me?” Please!!!!! Every guy knows what is going on. Either you stand your own ground if you want to be considered strong or you do what she does and call on ‘big daddy’ when you get into trouble.

r/e Negatives on these thread
Watch out people. Some of the people doing these negatives are Dem haters portraying themselves as either Clinton or Obama supporters. Their goal is polarize each others supporters so that we are hearing both Clinton and Obama supporters saying they will vote for McCain rather than each other’s opponent. Did it ever occur to you that these haters make want that?
Take a lesson from Feb 26th debate: When that offensive picture came up of Obama in dress Hillary looked Obama in the eye and said in a soft voice I really didn’t have anything to do with it. Obama quickly replied I beleive you. They made it a non-issue on national TV. I think they both realized that somebody else outside planted this to create hatred for each other’s supporters sparking the supporters to say I’ll vote for McCain.
Did you ever notice since that pic some of the worse racism KKK stuff started showing up in the blogs all “claiming” to be Clinton supporters.
That other blogger saying we should stop hating (negativity) on each other is right.
For those of you who are long time Democrat perhaps you should realize there are forces outside your party trying to break the Dem party apart and as you can see in the blogs is succeeding. By dividing the party with each others supporters either sitting out or voting for McCain either way results in a win for McCain.
BTW I’m not saying McCain has anything to do with this either. But we all know there are extremist and crazies in the world who will do anything to get people to do what they want.
Also I’m a republican but here i am asking for unity for the Dem Party. You might ask why? Because I have a strong sense of ethics and fairness. I don’t hate on each others parties.

I contributed $100 this month to Hillary–for a better future of my toddler daughter. It is the first time ever in my life to make a political contribution.
Hope this make a small difference at this critical junction of american history.
She has a solid record of serving ordinary people. Millions benefit from her action. It may sound banal to many people, but she indeed will be ready from day one. We need a committed and hardened fighter more than an opportunist to make the right changes for this country.
We don’t have the luxury for another in-job-training, which as past experiences indicate may take several years. This nation is sliding so fast that another four wrong years will make the damage irreparable.
All signs show that Barack is a political opportunist. The best thing he knows is campaign tactics. Other than that I am not impressed. I probably have better judgement and more substance than this guy.
It is good to have a hope, but in the end you have to come back to the cruel reality and fight for every change and progress.

Most people here have not filed tax returns yet. Give Hillary a break. I am just filing mine now.

Both Reagan and Clinton had experience as Governors before running for the Presidency. BO has 10 years of public service, but too much of that is just resume building w/o taking stands. I’d vote for BO in a heart beat if he showed 1 or 2 terms as IL Governor, or at least 1 or more complete Senate terms with solid records.

Obama may say he’s for all Americans, but if you want to know the real Obama, and his real values, take a look at his Church: Trinity Union Church of Christ in Chicago. Check it out at tucc.org. —————- TUCC is an all black church that places African Values above American Values. And it supports Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. ——————- Find Hillary’s church here: umc.org. ——- be sure to pass this on to everyone you know.

BTW, Rezco is a Sunni Muslim Iraqi National — No wonder Obama ssaid he was against the war. He was looking out for his Pal Rezco Iraq Businesses.

In the last Debate, Obama said that as President he would reinvade Iraq, if Al Quada entered Iraq after the US leaves.
Ummmm Isn’t that essentially the same reason GW Bush invaded Iraq in the firs place. And back then, it was believed that Sadaam still had WMD’s and was trying to aquire more.
We know for a fact that Al Qaeda has no WMD’s. But Obama would invade anyway? Wow he really is a tough Gangsta.
And Obama still wants us to believe he was always against the war?

I don’t claim to speak for all of HC supporters and not even as a typical HC supporter, but I do support her way of running her campaign. Furthermore, I also approve BO’s way of running his campaign. I am mesmerized by both campaigns’ grassroot financial backing. So far the only thing bothering me is the lopsided black votes for BO. I can’t wait to see if there will be a similar support for JM.

Obama also said he would bomb Pakistan, if Osama and Al Qaeda are found hiding in the mountains. And he said he would do it with or without Pakistans cooperation.
Pakistan is the ally of the US and the west, does not support terrorism, and has been instrumental in capturing terrorists, including 9/11 masterminds Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah and terrorism suspect Ramzi bin al-Shibh.
Obama, who claims he did not support authorizing the use of force in Iraq, a country who’s leader harbored terrorists and threatened the west, says he will unilaterally bomb our ally Pakistan if Osama is found in the mountains. Even though it is known that Osama does not have WMD’s.
George Bush was wrong in the way he used the authorization from Congress. But Obama is wronger than wrong, and a hypocrite.
The US has not conducted any unilateral military campaigns or bombing in Pakistan as proposed by Obama. The US has only assisted the Pakistanis and have pressured them to conduct raids in the mountain regions, which the Pakistanis have done.
The CIA has assisted the Pakistanis, but not without prior approval from Pakistan’s president, General Pervez Musharraf. A unilateral effort by the US would be an act of war according to Musharraf, and would certainly inflame the region further against the US.
Pakistan has WMD’s. The US needs to keep Pakistan as an ally.
A secret military operation in early 2005 to capture senior members of Al Qaeda in Pakistan’s tribal areas was aborted at the last minute after top Bush administration officials decided it was too risky and could jeopardize relations with Pakistan.
Good to know Bush draws a line somewhere. Obama does not have a clue where the line is.
Pakistan is already peeved over Obama’s “Words”. Obama is a danger to the US and the world.

Y’all,
Its not really that big a mystery here….
Hillary’s fund raising improvement comes after the turning point in the election. Case closed.
They ran an incompetent campain with numerous strategic and tactical mistakes.
Plus…unfortunately for her…she doesn’t have a ‘presidential’ personality.

Freeper johnny, take your disinformation elsewhere.
There were no terrorists in Iraq.
And on tax returns, you are wrong so quit with the weasel posts. HRC could release her return from last year, which is exactly what Obama did.

Hillary will win Ohio, and RI. TX and VT are tossups.
But, newly registered voters are being counted in the TX polls, and there is a 30 waiting period to vote in TX.
Those who regestered after Super Tuesday, are showing up in polling numbers, but will not be able to vote.
Too bad for O that the kids can’t just wake up on Tuesday, go register, and vote at the same time.

They are asking for Hillary’s 2007 tax return. The deadline for that is April 17 2008.
The 2006 return is already public record.

Google “Clinton convicts” and see the results, that is the horrible legacy of the Clintons – Marc Rich Money for Pardon Scandal, Hugh Rodham Money for Pardon Scandal, Travelgate, Lied under oath (felon?), refused to release the names of donors to the Clinton Library Fund (so much for fully vetted)…
Vote Melt-down Drama Queen Hillary and Sleak Bill for Third Term! It is their birth right.. Give it to them.

It’s quite appropriate that you kids abbreviate Obama as BO. There is something plenty a foul about his presence.
Probably Freudian on your parts.

Satish, you are mistaken.
Hans Blix gave a speech to the UN on the lack of WMD in Iraq. That was BEFORE the invasion.
Pakistan is sovereign, but if it harbors terrorists who planned attacks, and continue to plan attacks on the US, it is fair game. That is different from attacking a country that did not attack the US.

Pakistan does not “harbor” terrorists. Pakistan is our ally and has been instrumental in capturing 9/11 planners. If Alqaeda is discovered in Pakistan, we must, and will get Pakistani cooperation to kill or capture them.
But the key is that the Pakistanis must be allowed to take the lead in that effort.
On the other hand, Sadaam Hussein did “harbor” terrorists. Al Qaeda is not the only terrorist organization.

Its up to each individual how they vote. All this slam dunk of people is so out of hand its ridiculous. Its like this Texans and people in other states. Davy Crockett saying “be always sure you are right and go ahead” Well that hold true in these times. Whoever is elected, I hope none of you that vote for a canidate don’t say later “well I didn’t vote for her or him.

Esvida, you are damn right.. Barack is responsible for all the corruption in Chicago, infact he is responsible for Bill having sex with Monica Lewinsky, selling Presidential Pardons for Cash, an action Jimmy Carter called reprehensible.. Barack is also responsible for the delay in releasing Hillary’s White House papers, oops, the Clintons said George W Bush is causing the delay.. never mind the Clintons are fully vetted, ready to lead on day one.. they would need a new cash till in the White house though, to collect more cash from Convicts.. how nice Clinton pardon for felon Inc., registered to operate out of the WH.. Go Clintons.. we are behind you, we have your back covered.. Third Term for the Clintons… America needs the Clintons

If you google “Clinton Convicts”, that would help you to understand the Clintons better and their legacy. We witnessed it, we saw him lying under oath on TV, it was on news, they stole White House plates on their way out of the White House, they sold presidential pardons for cash. Up till today, we do not know who funded the Clinton Presidential Library because the Clintons would not release the names of the donors.. they are really fully vetted..

The crap coming out of the Obama supporters is not only childish but pure vindictiveness. They actually seem outraged that Hillary has raised some money on the internet, it’s like “My Dad is Better than Your Dad” combined with “American Idol” mentality. Grow Up Already. I am a Democrat who will not vote for Obama, Obama is an empty suit, along with empty-headed and spiteful supporters, who never have anything constructive to say.
Hillary Clinton is the only choice for getting our country out this mess. Her dedication and policies have convinced me that she will do the job, not dream about it. PA for HILLARY ’08

Hillary Clinton is the only choice, yes.. she is fully vetted. Ready to work for the American people – 35 yrs of phoney experience, including negotiating in Northern ireland (false) and representing the US at a womens conference in China, that is indeed the experience you need to run the country.. Sleak Bill for Vice President by the way, fully vetted to take care of White House Interns.

I never claimed that BO responsible for Chicago corruption. I don’t think that BO will corrupt the WH just like I never thought that BC sold amnesty for money. But, politically, it’s fair to speculate either way. To argue that someone couldn’t possibly nationalize something not of his creation is just not logical. Take one example – Ray Kroc and the McDonald franchise. Could someone claim that Ray Kroc did not nationalize McDonald because it was founded by someone else?

Too bad nobody here knows how or even wants to think for themselves. No wonder why Bush got 8 years in the Whitehouse.
You all want someone else to do your thinking. The dumbing down of America.
The Obamaites are so stupid they think this is meant just for them.
Both side could stand doing a little reading and thinking on their own.
Obamites love to wave that “Audacity book around, but none of them read the part where Obama gives credit to Jeremiah Wright for the title “Audacity of Hope” and some of the writing therein.
I’m going to play with my dog now. He’s a lot smarter than you all.

Snakes on a Blog
If you are president of a country who would you beleive your own CIA director or Mr. Hans Blix.
Who gives Mr. Obama right to label Pakistani citizens or anyboy else for that matter, terrorists who are planning attacks on US. If Mr. Obama as President of US, God forbid, has reason to beleive that some anti US activity is going on in Pakistan there are channels in Pakistan to deal with them. You negotiate and work with Pakistan. And that is what current administartion is doing. You just do not go there, bomb them and risk starting a war. Trust me if you go into Pakistan uninvited and bomb them there will be WAR. If you continue to think that Mr. Obama is justified in bombing Pakistan for any reason then I am afraid you have not learned any lesson from Iraq. Wars and invasions do not solve anything they just escalate the problem. Antagosing a country like Pakistan in pursuit of some criminals is foolhardy and stupid and will hurt US big time.
Good night!!!!

Bush just bombed Pakistan with an unmanned drone to kill an al queda leader.. That’s what Obama is saying he would do as well, if there is actionable intelligence that Bin Laden is anywhere, any US President will strike. So this is not news.

$350K to Clinton Library Fund is $350K to a quasi public institution – not exactly $350K to his pockets to enrich himself. Wait until BO has a chance to pardon someone and you will find out there will be objection from someone else in our society.

Satish, if you have been following the NEWS, you would know that all of the information on Iraq was cooked at the request of the WHITE HOUSE to justify invading a country the WHITE HOUSE knew had no WMD. Several CIA career officers lost their jobs for denouncing the politicization of their analyses.
If you truly believe that the CIA independently stated Iraq had WMD, please post your email here, as I have several relatives who will pay you a 10% fee if you aid them in transferring their deposed uncle’s ill gotten billions to a safe bank account (you need only send them $10,000 to get the transaction rolling).
John, we can say it a thousand times. It won’t sink in to the DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND.
esvida, lots of the Clinton library money comes from Saudis and sleazy billionaires doing business in Kazakhstan.

I am an Obama supporter, and feel there are a few issues he has better ideas on, but really, no matter who wins the Democratic nominee, he/she will be far better than either Bush or McCain. It’s sad seeing Democrats tear eachother apart over two people who, policy-wise, are really not that different. Either one will do a pretty good job. Hillary might do better on foreign relations, Obama might do better at uniting the nation and reforming our health care system, but really they are both far better than any other option.

So… we have a choice – Clinton, McCain or Obama (in proper alphabetic order of course…).
Clinton is super desperate…
McCain is the re-incarnation of Dr. Strangelove…
Obama is the ‘new’ icon of a potential savior of the people of the USA…
Hmmmm… lets see…. hmmmm

You know… now that I ‘truly’ see what’s at stake with this election and guage my age… I believe my choice will be -
The Christmas Islands!
I can volunteer there an die there very happily – AND they’ll allow me to bring my very loyal companion dog…(All 80 pounds of ‘im).

Nellie, Nellie, Nellie! By you not voting for Obama, you will only have yourself to blame! Just think, four more years of war, death and recession. I say good riddance to you and the rest of the sometimes Democrats. Have you ever thought that the reason so many people are switching to Obama, might be integrity, genuine care for the country? My guest is that there are not willing to just except the same old XXXX anymore! So thanks to many people like yourself, we will only have you to blame!!
UNITED FOR CHANGE! OBAMA 08!!

No Clinton Third Term. America deserves better. Google “Clinton Convicts” and see the results, that is the horrible legacy of the Clintons from the 90s. No one with that kind of rapsheet deserves to run our country. Reject the Clintons and their baggage, America deserves better.

if the $350 donated by Marc Rich to the Clinton Library Fund before the Presidential Pardon he got from Bill is ok, then why don’t the Clintons release the entire list of donors, since the Library is quasi-public as you claim. Wake up, sleeping Democrats. The Clintons are destroying your party.

I wish to inform America and Democrats that it does not matter who gets the most money, it would be so great if the most competent nominee could be chosen. I for one am getting sick to death of hearing the same chant over and over with only the word “change” being repeated. I have news: it does not matter who is elected there will be change. Change is inevitable. How can he get away with this idiot message?

It is not an idiotic message. We need CHANGE from what the Clintons represent – Scandals galore.
Google Clinton Convicts and see the results, that is the horrible legacy of the Clintons from the 90s. Marc Rich Cash for Pardon Scandal, Hugh Rodham Cash for Pardon Scandal, Travelgate, Monica Lewinsky Sex Scandal, Lying under oath (felon?), Refusing to release names of Clinton Library donors, Refusing to release tax return, Refusing to release Hillary’s White House papers – THAT IS THE CHANGE WE WANT. No to Third Term for the Clintons, America deserves better

The hypocrisy of the democracts . Where does it go next?
They are against the war that gives protection to their miserable lives yet they spread hate and violence against citizens with different views .
They said the country is in recession yet they contribute millions for two liberal socialist loosers.
One woman posts ; elect a democract and bring back decency to the country. Decency to a democract.Abortion, gay rights,no prayer in schools and take god out of everything,oppression of the poor, affrimitive action,amesty and the list goes on.
Barack Hussein Hussein Obama. I’m sure all enimies in the world who want to kill us all will rejoice if he is elected.

my wife and i gave to hillary- i know alot of us gave 50 bucks here and there- its funny how Obama in one ad claims its nonsense that CEO’s make more in ten minutes than avg folks in one year- yet he lets OPRAH get away with it- like shes not funding him!!!!-
WAKE UP FOLKS_VOTE HILLARY

Its amazing to me that while Romney paid for most of his campaigning (not that he ever had a real shot) and Hillary goes out and gives herself a loan. Looks like she is more worried about getting a return than winning the election. Her campaign is a joke as is she. Wake up Hillary, your not as liked as you thought you were!

She should give this money to a charity for the vets or homeless. Spending it is merely a waste of money. The primaries are over, Obama will be the nominee.

Since when in America, that the mere mention of someone’s middle name has become an insult. Hhy Mr. Obama has been so defensive when his middle name is mentioned. When his taliban style of dressing becomes public, them he becomes offensive. We recently saw Laura Bush Proudly dressed in Ghana cultural style with a smile when they she visited Africa. It’s that something that we have to be offensive about. Smear is right in the nose. Mr. Obama has something to hide. Let’s wait till the republican machine kicks in.

I think this country should be ashamed of itself. All this money spent by the campaigns and Ohio can’t even have voting machines that can give an accurate accounting of the vote. What a rip off to the citizens of this country. With todays technology why can’t these states come up with accurate voting machines. This is ridiculous. All the time and money spent by the candidates and the voters can’t even get their vote counted accurately. The Federal government should mandate each state to have accurate voting equipment. Here we go again, 4 years later and the same old problem.

Klaus and not4uHillary said it best. It is time to stop all this “I won’t vote for the other candidate” in the general election. If you are a Democrat and support the democratic agenda, you need to support whoever the nominee is in the general election. Let the candidates do their job to WIN the nomination. You do yours by voting your choice. But in the end, we are all still Democrats. There is not a significant difference between Clinton’s or Obama’s agenda. They both follow the democratic agenda. We should as well once it is all said and done. Voting Republican out of anger that your choice did not win is not very mature and silly.

I’m voting for Hillary because Hillary is good.

WestCoastMessenger, u don’t listen very well do u (most be a hill supporter) the tax the press & OBAMA are reffering as well is for 2006 and before!!

What is this, a freaking contest? No matter what Hillary does, Obama and his supporters have to bully their way into the foreground, dismissing her efforts. Whether it is her agenda and goals for our country, her knowledge of foreign affairs, or her experience, Obama dismisses it and her as irrelevant. This is unbelievable coming from someone lacking any viable experience and with nearly no record of achievements during his very short political career. Now, when her campaign has some good news about contributions, Obama’s camp says basicly, “That’s nothin’, we’ve already doubled that.” This is a great example of how an unqualified candidate can buy his way into the highest office in our country. Hillary’s 35 million dollars in contributions will give her all the air time she needs to show voters what she has to offer.

“Where is this money coming from????Why are her tax records not open to the public????Much of their money comes from overseas and has ties to it.You will not see these or the presidental records of her many trips for they were pleasure and WE paid for them.”
To the uninformed……. She received $8 million for her book, her husband has made over $20 million in the last two years from his book and speaking fees.
The majority of her records are online, look for them. Try a search for her Senate financial disclosures. The presidential records have already been vetted by her and are now in the hands of the Federal Archivist and then the W and his team get to vet them too. Just in case you have forgotten, the W sealed Presidential records for 12 years unless both the sitting President and the former presidents agree to release the files. So we will not see the records about the Iran-Contra affair until a Democratic President is in office.
By the way, the W also had his records from Texas moved into his fathers’ Presidential Library, which in effect put them off limits forever.
As to the Obomba, I am a life long liberal as was my late wife. I would never vote for this man. Another W, all hat, no cattle. I at least know the sins of Hillary. I wonder how long it will be before the hysteria about “change” will be over and they take a hard look at his mob connections, his “present” votes and his complete lack of a record of accomplishment in the US Senate.

Something no has addressed recently, the delegates from Florida and Michigan. They will have to be seated regardless of what the Democratic leadership says. I forsee a major lawsuit if they are not. It would disenfranchise over 2 million votes.
Pundits and the Obomba people claim they were meaningless, they were not. Hillary won Florida with 50%. Obomba, 33 % or so of the vote and Michigan with 55%. One more point although it is never discussed, without the black vote voting in lock step ( just like the evangelicals do for the right), the Obomba would not even be on the radar.

I guess it really has come down to “buying votes”. Unfortunately, “he who holds the gold holds the power” has become the only way to be elected President. Worse yet, no one can even answer the question… What have these two done as Senators? Campaign promises tell us NOTHING! Hillary promised Upstate NY thousands of new jobs… Today we have well over 100,000
FEWER jobs that before she became Senator. Obama supporters, even top level, can not relate one thing that Obama has accomplished since entering politics. PLEASE, lets make our decisions based on facts, not rhetroric!
We are electing the President of the United States, not some for President of the high school Senior Class.

Obama,
When you told the media that you think in the general election that you will get Hillary’s voters but that there is nothing that indicates that she will get your voters, YOU LOST MY VOTE!! If you are the nominee, I will vote for McCain. You are an empty “uniter” just like Bush.
Dems for McCain

This entire topic of who raised more $. If either gave a #### about the people, they would have raised it for the troubled economy we are living in, not for personal gain. This entire campaign shows USA is being roped into another pompus status quo that the American people will feel in there homes. God help America. They can raise between them, all running, what does it add up to? But middle and low class are loosing jobs, homes, self respect, and pride for our nation. Well fantastic the rich can raise millions daily to buy a spot in the White House. Dispicable polititions and obviously some people can afford their taxes raised, get off the small guy!

Where is all this money coming from…?
CHINA…?

So Hillary raised 35 million and Obama 50? Thought there was a recession going on? Who has all the money to give? So why are democrats complaining about the price of gas or groceries if they can afford to give money to people who are better off than they are…strange people.

Noshariaforme…..If you have 1 million new enthusiastic donors who can give $25….think about it!!

I hope this country wins with obama. i feel sorry for those who have there heads sand stuck. travel is one of the best educational teaching one can get.how should i address this so that no one can mistake whats said.the chinese,indians and russians are looking very close to whats happing to this country. you stupid yea you! the more capitalist they are the more we lose, the more educated we lose,the more they become unified the more we will lose. please keep up the inter fighting with each other keep putting more people in jail,squeeze out the middle class Both china and russia and india have middle classes larger than our total population. are you getting a clue yet. just remember this sooner or later the house next door will be owened by a russian company.you or your children will be working for a chinese firm,an the computer side will come from india. now that’s said….. keep up the good work you will be a maid or butler for all three at their next state dinner in the white house. bless america…..
