OBAMA IS FINAL NOTHING MORE.

i think obama is the right candidate for the democrate.he is the man who can defeat the republicans choice hands down.the man is one who can do the job.if hilary thinks obama is inexperienced then why is she giving obama the endorsement to be her vice.i know the people of america are going to vote massively for obama to be the first black american president.

This is sad....this is rape...this is a child...How can we vote for Hillary after knowing this?...In 1975, a 27-year-old Hillary Rodham, acting as a court-appointed attorney, attacked the credibility of a 12-year-old girl in mounting an aggressive defense for an indigent client accused of rape in Arkansas - secured a lenient plea deal for Taylor after a New York-based forensics expert she hired "cast doubt on the evidentiary value of semen and blood samples collected by the sheriff's office."

GO MCCAIN!!!!!


Posted by: Natalie (Rome, GA) on February 25, 2008 8:53AM
Hilary has run out of ideas and the only weapon she can use now is to due on issues like "copying other people,s words" i was very disappointed today after listening to NBC dicussion and a lot of past clips that depicts how often she has used her husband,s words and other peoples statements.I think she is frustrated and some how conceeded that there is nothing for her so she can say anything to prove nothing.Barack is a leader with a difference and we can see from the way he has conducted himself in debates and all the campagns.He has not used any tricks to bring others down to get votes but on issues that Americans feel are important to them.Go for it man and bring that change that America badly needs.

"Hope lies to mortals and most believe her...the thoughts of others were light and fleeting, mine were of trouble and mine were steady so i was ready when trouble came." Auden wrote that after WWI. Unfortunately Obama is not ready, he is not known. That's why his supporters can't even say what he has done. What he has is feeling loved, but he cannot see past his own ambition, which is the nature of politicians. He is no different than Bush when he first ran. The democratic agenda however, is real. Go Hillary


Posted by: WH Auden on February 23, 2008 5:40PM
I do believe that the time has come for Americans to look ahead and give Barack Obama a chance to show them that things can change for real. The Clinton's have had their time and now they can step aside a let other people lead America for better CHANGE

I believe Obama has been called by the heart of America as a leader who is brilliant, competent and inspirational, Barack Obama is our gift at this time, let us honor him and pray for him in all ways. Blessings to all.













Posted by: Wanda Walker (Bismarck,ND) on February 22, 2008 12:39PM
Barack Obama is a uniter, a man of character, he brings hope to the hopeles, strength to the weak, encouragement to the discouraged and his own life proves, what other experience does Hillary want to see. America needs someone who can bring Americans together and work for the same cause, Barack Obama is that someone.

Clearly, Barack has won so far, and I hope last night's debate opened the eyes of the remaining Americans who think that Hillary could beat Obama. Hillary is running for the Clintons not for America.

and educational hills and mountains to give all a more level playing field. he is the man for this season, Hillary's time is not now


Posted by: Joan Reaves (Spring, TX) on February 22, 2008 9:34AM
He is a man of character and Heart. He is what america needs now. Onw who excites and unites, one who will tear down economic, social


Posted by: Joan Reaves (Spring, TX) on February 22, 2008 9:31AM
I am 55 years old and have never voted until now, I came close with B. Clinton but didn't. I have to admire a man who left people in Chicago with great needs to educate himself to better serve them and then returning to do so, when he could have chosen position and money. He is a man of character


Posted by: Joan Reaves (Spring, TX) on February 22, 2008 9:25AM
Barak Obama is simply the answer.


Posted by: Frank-Gabby Ejiagwa (Seoul, Korea.) on February 22, 2008 8:23AM
I wonder why the press is so for Clintons. If Obama is trailing Clinton as Clinton is, the press wounld have called it for her. I believe we should get real and and tell people the real story and that is that even if Clinton wins all the remaining primary she still wouldn't catch up with Obama on the delegate count. And winning all the remaining contests will be an overstatment because she just wouldn't run away with them.
Its ridiculous to believe the press and Bill Clinton for thinking that if she wins Texas and Ohio, then she will be the nominee. What a stupid reasoning? JUST POWER MONGERS!


Posted by: bob (canada) on February 22, 2008 2:21AM
I assumed, two decades ago, that I would of course, vote for a woman, should she run for President on the Democratic ticket. But I've grown up enough during these past 20 years to realize that we humans work best when we don't "think" with our genitals---nor can we vote with them!
I can NOT vote for Hillary just because she is the same gender as I am. I must, in good conscience, vote for the better leader. ANd there is no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama is the better LEADER between the two Democrats running for the nomination.. Obama is able to bring many people to the table to work together...together. Hillary CLinton, hard worker that she is, does not inspire us to be better nor does she encourage us to work together. Her hatred of Republicans is so intense that she can NOT inspire unity among all Americans.
But

BARAK OBAMA CAN AND DOES AND WILL> YES< HE CAN!!!!!


Posted by: Joan Zatorski (Tucson, Arizona) on February 21, 2008 9:30PM
The superdelegate in the Democratic presidential contest, should endorsed Sen. Barack Obama. We need to ralley and stand behind Sen. Obama with clear support. Obama has the right combination of leadership and experience to benefit America. Senator Obama offers the most determined and coherent plan for a new direction and change.
If we don't stand behind Sen. Obama now, the Clintons will continue to drag the democratic presidential contest in a direction that can cause severe damage to our campaign. We need to come together for a common effort to resolve the situation now. I challenge all superdelegates to endorsed Sen. Barack Obama before the Texas , Ohio primaries.


Posted by: Clarence Roots (Sacramento California) on February 21, 2008 8:12PM
I heard Obama's speech and it comes off as being quite genuine and sincere. I think this is what appeals to most of the public. Hillary on the other hand reminds me of someone who has canned answers and shows an image of hiding something.
