I believe that Hilary Clinton is not going to run this country like her husband did. I don't believe she is sincere about what and how she will do better than Obama. I appreciate Obama's honesty and dislike for all of the atacks and bickering like elementary school. What do Clinton supporters think about her recent gas trip?

I concur the most prosperous time in my adult life was during the Clinton administration. My family was able to buy property in San Diego, Ca. which is outrageiously expensive. I cried when the Republicans re-gained office because I knew I was about tobe broke again. If Obama becomes the party nominee I will vote MCCain in the fall. The media has savagely torn Senator Clinton to shreds. Once again we are coming up with a less than qualified candidate with only 4 years of public life and no politicalrecord to speak to.

I'm a middle class WORKING black woman and all I can say is that I want EXPERIENCE running this country - a leader for the people. During the Clinton era, we the AMERICAN people (economy included) were in the best shape that we have seen in a LONG time. I support Hillary Rodham ALL THE WAY!!!! She has my vote, too bad others here in the Peach State did not think that way!

I think that Hillary would make an excellent president! In addition to being very smart and having a great deal of experience her, spouse was our former president! When the Clinton's were in the white house, our country was run more smoothly! They were apart of the country, not the owners of the country! They oversaw the country as a part of it; they were not trying to be the rulers but apart of the country! I remember when Bill Clinton's limo got stuck in the mud, and he got out of the car and helped push it out of the mud

Hillary is mad because the black President the comics and black leaders crowned (Bill) has to go up against a REAL intelligent eloquently spoken BLACK man. Geraldine is right.

What does it mean to be a Democrat? People, there is a reason we are Democrats. We believe in Democracy, in equality. We believe in people, ordinary people like ourselves. However, there is that segment of Democrats who, with the injection of a zeal to win a nomination, with the injection of presumptive media, and yes, with the injection of race, lean toward the negative. When I first heard Barack, I was in awe and I felt a innate human connection to the party and to my fellowman (and I believe we allhave that inside

one thing I have found out since this race has started is that the farther we get into it the deeper the race card is being dealt. There is no excuse for the comment made by Ferrera, and Hillarys' arrorgance will not allow her to all out reject her statement. I feel Ferrera said what Hillary is thinking and won't say it publicly.

Hillary Clinton has the same amount of experience as Obama. Serving as First Lady she may have been exposed to the working of politics, but if she is elected Bill will be in the background helping her. Hillary can't even run her own campaign financially. She had to loan herself money. Obama has been able to raise more money and continues to run a organized and fair campaign. I'm voting for Obama because he offers change and not politics as usual. He appears to be honest, aware of the concerns of thepeople. Hillary

Hillary did not make a comeback. I really wish the media would be more responsible in the way they're reporting the events in TX and OH Tuesday. TX caucus results are STILL being counted, only the primary was reported. Nevertheless, Obama still leads by pledged delegates and more and more super delegates are coming his way. Educate yourselves, people...and read from alternative sources. The US mainstream media is so biased in it's reporting. Don't believe the hype! YES! WE! CAN!

Hillary Clinton is still the loser. That is what all headlines should say. She gained like 2 delagates! As a Texan, she also did not win Texas.So I must correct you. Obama has won Texas with the delegates. I think the dirt Hillary slings is a slap in the face to all who voted for Bill. She needs to concede and accept a vice president spot. I believe Obama will win this in the end.

And now Hillary Clinton has compared Barack Obama to Ken Starr. This woman has no bounds in her quest for power. I wonder what the black Hillary supporters are thinking. Are they still so blind to support her racializing & demonizing of Barack obama? Andwhen will Obama finally stand up to her dirty campaign - what is he afraid of? At that pace, she will steal the nomination from him.

I am appalled that people were gullible enough to be influenced by the negative media portrayal of Obama right before the Super Tuesday elections. And, yes, Hilliary's camp was feeding the fires. We need a leader who focuses on the big picture -- democratics coming together to defeat the republicans -- but Mrs. Clinton seems more interested on her own agenda. I want leaders who put the common good of the people first. Obama has definitely demonstrated that. Fighting dirty (as Hilliary put it) is what has gotten this cou

As one who works on the frontlines for equal opportunity for all, I find the tone of this election highly disturbing. In many employment cases, brothers and sisters are being routinely denied opportunities on the basis of them not being the "most qualified," which is highly subjective. If businesses were run where only the potential CEO prospects who had the most work history were considered the most qualified, a ton of businesses would fail.

I believe the bigger picture is whether or not the Democrats can beat the republicans whether it's Obama or Clinton. I believe that the news media (republicans) are feeding us a bunch of bull.

The republican have big business backing them and they can afford to put out negative ads, using special groups, about both Clinton and Obama.

Finally, in 2008 we have a two formidable Democratic candidates, yet we reduce their candidacy to race, gender, and illusory promises. I caution all to weigh the history of producing of all candidates. Make your own choice, but by all means make it an intelligent, unemotional decision. Lesson for today, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. One of these candidates has delivered tremendously, even if she isn't our brother.

This is really sickening! She did not "win BIG" and I wish the media and all the Hillary supporters would stop telling that bald-faced lie.

This is ridiculous-if Barack had lost 12 contests in a row, the powers that be would have forced him to drop out of the race and given Hillary the nomination. The fact that she is a

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST OBAMA SHALL PROSPER. Both Hillary and Barak speak to the issues of change that the country so desperately needs. They both have the same amount of experience (being married to the president holds as much weight as being the daughter of the president and we know we wouldn't vote Chelsea in office with Hillary?s argument). Unfortunately, I don't trust Hillary, and her character is in question. She plays to the ignorance of her supporters instead of the intellect of his and that' why she'll loose.

The Republicans biggest fear FL is having Obama as the nominee because he reaches across not only racial lines, but party lines.

Hilary will not be able to do business for the United States, for the mere fact that she is a WOMAN.

So how in the world would she be able to do business with them, when they won't even want her in the same room as them to even listen to her.

The only reason why Hillary is still in this thing is because the media is gullible enough to buy her spin. We don't pick our nominee based on "swing states," momentum or perception. We choose our candidate based on delegates. This is NOT the Republican Primary with a winner-take-all system. The Democrats have a proportional allocation of elected/pledged delegates.

We need to look forward to what he can bring to us as a nation, being able to bring us together as one. Also, Hilary (a woman) cannot lead the country as well

I believe Senator Clinton would be a fine President and would mark the books with great achievements as the first female President.

I envision the pride and focus of achievement of African Americans that day and the days and many years that will follow. My hope is that instead of the children wanting to be like Mike they'll want to be like Obama. Many of our

I have watched the news and various reporters for the past month as they share their views on the candidates. It is my opinion they(the reporters) and the Clintons campaign have went about creating doubt in voter's mind about Barack Obama. First, they began by saying Michelle Obama was not a true American because of what she said about America which was taken out of context, they brought forth a picture of Obama and said he was muslim, then that wasn't enough, to put further doubt in the minds of theupcoming voters th

Back up for a minute - Has anyone heard about alledged missing votes for Obama in NY? Could these alledged missing votes have given him NY? Why are folks so afraid of change? Aren't we sick of the same ole same ole? Change is Good and The Time is Now. YES WE CAN!!!

Ronnie, you're right....Obama needs to brush up although I think he will be able to withstand their tactics.

Don't be fooled, the republicans wants Obama to win so that they can take him apart on the national security issues.

Also, the only reason she wants him for her ticket is so she can take advantage of his vote count. After aligning herself with the Republican party by saying "I have many years of experience, and Senator McCain has many years of experience. Barack Obama only has a speech he wrote in 2002", there's nothing anyone could do to make me vote for a ticket with her on it.

Barack Obama should NEVER, EVER be party to a joint ticket in light of the racist, fear-mongering and divisive campaign HRC is running. No wonder the Clintons are so hated in Washington. If BO does join wit her, I will vote for John McCain.

I think that the Democratic party needs to stop and really think about what is most important for the Party as a whole. Whether or not we want to remain in the media as the bickering party or the one who can come together to choose a candidate that can WIN! The people are speaking and have spoken Barack is that candidate. Why do you think the Republican Party advised Republicans in the Texas and Ohio primary who could vote to choose Hilary Clinton...They know they can not win against Barack!

It's going to be a close call but there is still enough time for either of them to win or lose. I'm on the fence. They both share very similar views and they are both speaking exactly what I want to hear. I don't care which one take the big seat and Iwill more than likely not make my decision until I am at the polls; but the bottom-line is, no matter which one we get, it's better than what we already have! I am encouraging everyone to just get out and VOTE...

I'm looking for someone in the middle who can bring people together and tackle things head on," OBAMA is the person who can help us turn the page this Is our time this is a movement I believe that Obama will be on the ballot in November inspite of the Clinton's dirty, undertable, behind doors, tatics. This is a powerful movement so to all Obama supporters Don't give in, don't get discourage let's keep our eyes on the prize yes we can yes we can.

I think a joint ticket is ideal, regardless of the order (Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton). I think both candidates should be willing to do this simply for the improvement of our government as a whole. The two of them working together would be a great deal stronger in the long run then one of the them being too egotistical to be second place. Second place isn't so bad; after 2 terms of Democratic rule (I hope) the VPresident could then run for President. Negative things are said between candidates all the time simply becau

Hillary has very much counted Obama out because she has mentioned joint ticket and she being the head. No way I see Obama being second to that witch. I've also read that Obama is becoming weary. That's OK as long as he doesn't faint. It's a shame howHillary and McCain came out with all that negative stuff and still Obama has kept his cool. That shows me he's the man for the job. People, aren't we tired and fed up with this old mess. We need a change people. Vote Obama.

Senator Obama has and should continue to run hard in every state and territory. The comments by Senator Clinton's supporters that she wins the...."big states" is an insult to the voters in...."small states". It is this arrogance that helped turn middle America and the south against the Democratic party.

Obama has now practically cancelled her win in Ohio because of his delegate share in texas. Texas is reporting obama has gotten a sizable share of the delegate grab race there. HIllary gains 185 delegates, obama gets 173 from last nights overall contests. The only way for her to win the nomination is by stealing it. Which the Clintons are quite capable of doing. They should be ashamed for racializing obama.
