Obama is up with his two-minute closers in Indiana and North Carolina. They are basically the same ad with some tailored language to each state.

That is a strong ad. Nothing negative. Obama '08
Barack Obama takes the high road! That's why so many people willingly give of their time, their money and their hearts to his candidacy!
God bless America and God bless Barack Obama for president!
Wonderful closer!!!!  

Hope the people of Indiana and N.C. have more intelligence and less prejudice than Ohio & Pennsylvania.

For a very thoughtful commentary by Bill Moyers on Rev. Wright:

Perfect!!  No more of the same old crap that we have been forced to put up with until now.
Change this country and change this world that is what Farrakhan says Obama is ment to do. Why wont he give us a vision of this change he will do.Not all change is great. Hillary will change the country for the good. Obama has no idea what is in the bottom of our hearts.He didnt start out in this country and has no idea of our core values. Half an idea isnt always the ans. Tell us before its to late what your change that will appease your wife,friends and pastor will look like.Call names and spew hate and vile I dont want that change.There is a lot I dont want changed with our country.He laughs when we get close to the truth makes me worried.there are changes and changes. I believe Hillary will give us the changes we need .Has he talked to his pastor yet? Who will he cling to now?No to dangerous
This ad is AWESOME!!!!

How can HRC even compete with that???

HRC:  "lets have the same old people doing the same old thing"


Sorry HRC, your time has passed.

People are tired of the same old people doing the same old thing.

We need something different.

You had your chance.

Time to move on.
We'll take it Barack! Fabulous closer.  

Hillary, and McCain gave you the gas tax stick to beat them with!

Keep speaking to the people's common sense. If we can't win with the truth, then so be it!
That's one of the best campaign ads I've ever seen. He's our next president!
HILLARY CLINTON  CAN BEST WIN IN NOVEMBER:

It's time for everyone to face the truth. Barack Obama has no real chance of winning the national election in November at this time. His crushing defeat in Pennsylvania makes that fact crystal clear. His best, and only real chance of winning in November is on a ticket with Hillary Clinton as her VP.

Hillary Clinton seemed almost somber at her Pennsylvania victory speech. As if part of her was hoping Obama could have proved he had some chance of winning against the republican attack machine, and their unlimited money, and resources.

But it is absolutely essential that the democrats take back the Whitehouse in November. America, and the American people are in a very desperate condition now. And the whole World has been doing all that they can to help keep us propped up.

Hillary Clinton say's that the heat, and decisions in the Whitehouse are much tougher than the ones on the campaign trail. But I think Mr. Obama faces a test of whether he has what it takes to be a commander and chief by facing the difficult facts, and the truth before him. And by doing what is best for the American people by dropping out of the race, and offering his whole hearted assistance to Hillary Clinton to help her take back the Whitehouse for the American people, and the World.

Mr. Obama is a great speaker. And I am confident he can explain to the American people the need, and wisdom of such a personal sacrifice for them. It should be clear to everyone by now that Hillary Clinton is fighting her heart out for the American people. She has known for a long time that Mr. Obama can not win this November. You have to remember that the Clinton's have won the Whitehouse twice before. They know what it takes.

If Mr. Obama fails his test of commander and chief we can only hope that Hillary Clinton can continue her heroic fight for the American people. And that she prevails. She will need all the continual support and help we can give her. She may fight like a superhuman. But she is only human.

Sen. Hillary Clinton: "You know, more people have now voted for me than have voted for my opponent. In fact, I now have more votes than anybody has ever had in a primary contest for a nomination. And it's also clear that we've got nine more important contests to go."

Sincerely
